Product Information
The only book in English for readers of all ages by Nobel Prize-winning novelist Olga Tokarczuk is a beautifully illustrated meditation on the fullness of life. Olga Tokarczuk's The Lost Soul , 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. --New York Times The Lost Soul , 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. --Guardian The Lost Soul 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. 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 The Lost Soul The Lost Soul is a sublime album, a rare delicacy that will delight readers young and old. You must find a place of your own, sit there quietly and wait for your soul. Winner of the Bologna Ragazzi Award, Special Mention 2018, Prix de l'Union Internationale pour les Livres de Jeunesse (IBBY), The White Raven (IJB Munich), and the L dz Design Festival Award.Product Identifiers

Reviews"This recipe for the quiet life of home is an anodyne for the feelings of stress, insecurity, angst and loss that today afflict most of us. Even imagining the fairy tale 'small cottage at the edge of the city' will soothe readers and their listeners. The tender illustrations offer fine details that sink deep into the memory." --Annie Proulx, author of The Shipping News and Brokeback Mountain "Olga Tokarczuk's simple words and Joanna Concejo's tender images tell a story we need to hear and see now in our brutal present--the parable of a soul lost and found." --Siri Hustvedt, author of Memories of the Future " The Lost Soul is a treasure. Tokarczuk and Concejo offer their readers another way to see the velocity of days, the grace in waiting, and time itself. Turning Concejo's pages of wonderful drawings gave me a much-needed pause, and a reassuring perspective on loss, patience, and reward." --Leanne Shapton, author of Guestbook

A Genuine Genius
Olga Tokarczuk is like no other, and in the best of ways. Her talents are legion, her genius indisputable, her imagination both earthy and ethereal. I’m in love with her, and her work.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
