Fever
Opis
In these nine unforgettable and impressionistic #8216;tales of little madness#8217;, the Nobel Prize-winning author Le Cl#233;zio explores how the physical sensations we experience every day can be as strong as feelings of love or hate, with their power to bring chaos to our lives. In #8216;The Day that Beaumont became Acquainted with his Pain#8217;, a man with toothache spends the night seeking ways to disown his throbbing jaw; in #8216;Fever#8217;, Roch finds his mind transported by sunstroke; while in #8216;A Day of Old Age#8217; little Joseph tries to comprehend the physical suffering of a dying old woman. Set in a timeless, spaceless universe, these experimental and haunting works portray the landscape of the human consciousness with dazzling verbal dexterity and power.
