An Imaginary Life

Meer over het boek

Set in the first century A.D., the story follows the exiled poet Ovid, who finds himself in a remote village by the Black Sea. Stripped of his familiar world, he relies on the kindness of local tribes and confronts the challenges of his banishment. His life takes a transformative turn when he becomes the guardian of a wild child raised by deer. This poignant narrative explores themes of civilization versus nature, as Ovid, a master of love's complexities, guides the boy in discovering the essence of love and connection.
