Specifications
When his mother goes out shopping, the five-year-old boy left behind at home is certain she won’t come back. Now completely alone, convinced he has been abandoned, he begins by exploring the apartment and then a nearby rubber factory. At the same time, he dreams of returning to a department store, where he has fond memories.
Meanwhile, Marcel, now eight, lives in harmony with his younger sister, Isabelle, in a world of adults who seem little more than fleeting presences. Then Isabelle falls ill, and Marcel, in order to save her, must confront his greatest fear.
Ivan, on the other hand, at fifteen, keeps in a wardrobe the skins he has to change, year after year, as he grows. One day he meets Dora and falls in love with her. He can’t help wondering whether men and women go through the same thing with their skins.
Mircea Cărtărescu writes about childhood and adolescence in his inimitable style. This book contains three marvelous surrealist novellas, framed by two fairy-tale-like stories.
