Gut
Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Product Information

After celebrated author Jasper Gwyn suddenly and publicly announces that he will never write another book, he embarks on a strange new career path as a copyist," holding thirty-day sittings in a meticulously appointed room and producing, at the end, brief but profoundly rich portraits in prose. The surprising, beautiful, and even frightening results are received with rapture by their subjects among them Gwyn's devoted assistant, Rebecca; a beautiful fabric importer; a landscape painter; Gwyn's own literary agent; two wealthy newlyweds; a tailor to the Queen; and a very dangerous nineteen-year-old. Then Gwyn disappears, leaving behind only a short note to his assistant and the portraits. As Rebecca studies his words, she realizes that the mystery is larger than the simple fact of Gwyn's whereabouts, and she begins to unravel a lifetime's worth of clues left by a man who saw so much but said so little, a man whose solitude masked a heart as hungry as hers.

Reviews
Baricco's narrative virtuosity continues to astonish." — The Independent (London) "The work is a blended balance of satisfying resolve and loose ends that wander off the borders of the page, and recommended to anyone interested in fresh similes, comforting strangeness, and the confusion that clouds the human heart." -- Booklist "A prolific European master often compared to Italo Calvino, Baricco is still best known in the States for the cult classic Silk —but that should change with this enigmatic novel, which offers genial weirdness unparalleled this side of Haruki Murakami." — Publishers Weekly "A tour de force of literary fiction" -- Kirkus (Starred review) High-minded literary mystery novel" — Vanity Fair, A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Pick. "A prolific European master often compared to Italo Calvino, Baricco is still best known in the States for the cult classic Silk —but that should change with this enigmatic novel, which offers genial weirdness unparalleled this side of Haruki Murakami." — Publishers Weekly "Alessandro Baricco's Mr. Gwyn is the kind of wonderful discovery for which book critics wade through stacks of volumes. It is a standout... [and] one of the most unusual stories about love you'll ever read." — San Francisco Chronicle "[Alessandro] Baricco has written a tender meditation on the almost imperceptible ways in which people, and books, can change us, resonate, call out over the years, sending us back in time and destabilizing us, like so many Trojan horses smuggled into our lives under cover of darkness.

Fast and light, though not without a little intellectual rigor." — Brooklyn Paper Alessandro Baricco limns these narrative connections with a great deal of mastery and a very delicate sense of touch." — World Literature Today "A sly, atmospheric work." — The Millions "Baricco's language thrives (here through Ann Goldstein's graceful translation) in this light application of archetypal British mystery to an otherwise Kafkaesque narrative." — Full Stop, A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Pick.
