1. Wolf Solent

   • Powys John Cowper

   • 613bladzijden
   • 22 uur lezen

   Wolf Solent returns in maturity to his native Dorset village and finds a typical ingrown community, rotten with vices. He shows himself ripe for such a community and falls in love with the incredibly beautiful Gerda, who enchants his heart, but develops a passion for the wraithlike Christie, who captures his soul. Complex, humorous, and vividly romantic, this novel orchestrate eternal themes - the ecstacies and degradations of lover and beloved, life and death, good and evil, matter and spirit, reality and appearance - and must be considered one of the few great apocalyptic works of our time.
