{"product_id":"in-farthest-seas","title":"In Farthest Seas","description":"A breathtakingly beautiful novel about the first 4 years and last 4 months of a great love, by a 'lacerating, luminous' Italian author (Jhumpa Lahiri, author of Interpreter of Maladies) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerfect for fans of short, razor-sharp modern literary classics like Annie Ernaux and Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUpon the death of her husband, Innocenzo Monti, Lalla Romano sought to distil the essence of their long life together. The result was In Farthest Seas a piercingly intimate retelling of the first 4 years and final 4 months of their relationship, built from shard-like moments of connection and revelation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 1st section spans the couple's early attraction, which developed through long conversations on hikes in the mountains surrounding Cuneo, to their wedding and arrival at their first home together. A subtle note of elegy sounds through these recollections of love, and this note comes to the fore in the longer 2nd section that recounts the final 4 months of Innocenzo's life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith precise artistry, Romano braids together seemingly minor details--the expressiveness of Innocenzo's hands, the beauty of his face in sleep, a fleeting instance of pallor--that come to reveal the barest truths of life and death. Unsparing yet tender, minimal yet monumental, In Farthest Seas is a startlingly moving elegy, and perhaps the greatest work by a rediscovered Italian master, who's been compared to Natalia Ginzburg and Cesare Pavese.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53853883466066,"sku":"9781805332350","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_2aaafb52-beef-4088-b8d5-8415b01779f4.jpg?v=1782584993","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/in-farthest-seas","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
