Description
A lyrical 'book of days' that weaves together observations, thoughts, and reflections from forty years of exploration and contemplation. Cees Nooteboom's 533 A Book of Days is a meditative rhapsody that explores the world, life, death, literature, and oblivion.
Set against the backdrop of Menorca, an island that has been a source of inspiration for the author, this book is not a diary or a set of movements of the soul organized by dates. Instead, it's a collection of impressions that open windows onto vast horizons, from the Divine Comedy to the death of David Bowie.
With its unique blend of culture, insight, and personal perspective, 533 A Book of Days is an extraordinary conversation with an extraordinary mind. The result is a book that will appeal to readers with its undisguised openness to the world.
