The Second Sword. Lessons of Mount Saint-Victoire (set of 2 books)

«The Second Sword»

«The Second Sword» is the latest work by Handke, written immediately after the author received the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Handke's voice rings loud and clear, and in numerous metaphors and subtle allusions, one can catch echoes of the author's thoughts and moods. What is injustice and what is revenge? And what is the true importance of stories?

«The Second Sword» — a book, as is often the case with Handke, about a spiritual journey and endless contemplation of the world around. In every detail, Handke will find poetry that is hard to imagine. Even the most ordinary streets of Paris, even the sound of tram wheels on its pages will play with new, bright colors.
