DESCRIPTION - Set in Paris and war-torn Lebanon in the 1980s, THE MULTIPLE CHILDis a timeless tale in a spare yet elegant style by a powerful writer admired worldwide. The title character, Omar-Jo, a child of war and of peace, has the power and vision of Oskar of The Tin Drum and the gentle wisdom of The Little Prince. After Omar-Jo loses his parents and one of his arms in a bomb blast in Lebanon, his grandfather sends the boy to live with relatives in Paris. There he meets Maxime, the owner of a carousel that has fallen into disrepair. The child breathes new life into the carousel - a character in its own right - as well as into its owner and patrons. Omar-Jo plays the part of the wise clown: 'all the zanies, all the fools, all the 'grasiosos,' all the minstrels, the itinerant players, the white-faced clowns, the Monsieur Loyals, the Augustes, of times past and present, dwelt in his body.' In this novel, Chedid illuminates the essence of conflict and redemption. inventory #32561.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: Very Good. It is said that a victim of cholera dies or recovers on the sixth day. Om Hassan recognizes that during these six days it is dangerous for her grandson to remain in Cairo, a city ravaged by illness and living on fear. Her heroic and perilous response is to take him up the Nile to the safety of the countryside. In an age confronted by Aids, The Sixth Day - like Defoe?s Journal of a Plague Year or Camus?s The Plague - is a telling reminder of society?s constant vulnerability to disease. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
