Beschreibung

<b>A beautifully illustrated meditation on the fullness of life for readers of all ages by <b>by Nobel Prize-winning novelist Olga Tokarczuk.</b><br><br>"Olga Tokarczuk’s <i>The Lost Soul</i><b>,</b> an experimental fable illustrated by Joanna Concejo and translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones, resonates with our current moment. . . . What a striking, and lovely, material object it is." <i>—New York Times<br><br></i>"<i>The Lost Soul</i>, by Olga Tokarczuk and illustrator Joanna Concejo, is a quiet meditation on happiness, following a busy man who loses his soul. . . It pours a childlike sense of wonder into a once-upon-a-time tale that is already resonating with adults around the world." <i>—The Guardian</i><br><br><i>The Lost Soul</i> is a deeply moving reflection on our capacity to live in peace with ourselves, to remain patient, attentive to the world. It is a story that beautifully weaves together the voice of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk and the finely detailed pen-and-ink drawings of illustrator Joanna Concejo, who together create a parallel narrative universe full of secrets, evocative of another time. Here a man has forgotten what makes his heart feel full. He moves to a house away from all that is familiar to him to wait for his soul to return.<br><br>"Once upon a time there was a man who worked very hard and very quickly, and who had left his soul far behind him long ago. In fact his life was all right without his soul—he slept, ate, worked, drove a car and even played tennis. But sometimes he felt as if the world around him were flat, as if he were moving across a smooth page in a math book that was covered in evenly spaced squares... " —from <i>The Lost Soul</i><br><i><br>The Lost Soul</i> is a sublime album, a rare delicacy that will delight readers young and old.<br><br>"You must find a place of your own, sit there quietly and wait for your soul."<br><br>Winner of the Bologna Ragazzi Award, Special Mention 2018, Prix de l'Union In
