Reviews
"Alessandro Baricco's new novel is about religion and sin, the sacred and the blasphemous, but perhaps above all about life, about the complicated and painful ways in which we approach it, the prices we pay, the losses and gains that add up to a figure that is always open-ended. It's an eternal story—not new yet always containing original elements that can render it authentic, possible, verifiable, if we know how to see it." —Il Mattino " Emmaus is a book about how difficult it is to see truly, in all times and in our own time. Thus it is the story of a fiction—that is to say a universe molded over time—that shatters under pressure of the cruelties of truth. But, at the same time, it is also the story of how, amid the ruins, the confusing world of resurrection appears." — La Repubblica "A short, haunting philosophical novel." — Shelf Awareness "Darkly beautiful." — Hey Small Press! The haunting prose is soaked in a poetic sense of doom and brokenness, a hard-edged working-class lyricism reminiscent of Tillie Olson's dustbowl classic Yonnondio ." — The Daily Beast A riveting read"— Switchback Journal "It's the sinister caprice with which he and his characters seem to take in blowing out their fine lines that takes this from being a beautifully written novel, to being a beautifully human novel." — City Book Review, "Alessandro Baricco's new novel is about religion and sin, the sacred and the blasphemous, but perhaps above all about life, about the complicated and painful ways in which we approach it, the prices we pay, the losses and gains that add up to a figure that is always open-ended.

Synopsis
The secular and the pious. The rich and the poor. Those with "a capacity for destiny" and those who "cannot afford it." Emmaus is a world of stark contrasts, one in which four young men--all from proud, struggling families, and all lusting after Andre, a hyper- sexual woman--are goaded from adolescence to manhood in a torrent of exploits and crises, sexual awakenings and morbid depressions, naivety and fatalism. A brilliant portrait of the perils and uncertainties of youth and faith, Emmaus is a remarkable novel from one of the very best writers in Europe.

- i***i (88)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificada(Same review for all 3 items in my order) Seller provided good value in the pricing of these books -- as well as offering a significant discount for ordering multiple items. Who could resist? I ended up not only with the book I was looking for, but also two others I never knew I'd always wanted! :-) The package arrived quickly, and safely since it was well-packed. Everything is as depicted, of course. I'm definitely happy with the results - thank you!
- i***a (10)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe book arrived promptly in very good packaging and as described. The only thing that I would've liked more was for the book to come with an additional plastic covers like the other items in the parcel, however, the experience was still outstanding and the condition as described. Overall, the quality of the product for the price was outstanding. I am very thankful to this seller and their business!Ulysses Found by Ernle Bradford (1963, Hardcover) (#187041454864)
