The Lost Soul is a deeply moving reflection on our capacity to live in peace with ourselves, to remain patient, attentive to the world. But sometimes he felt as if the world around him were flat, as if he were moving across a smooth page in a math book that was covered in evenly spaced squares." In fact his life was all right without his soul-he slept, ate, worked, drove a car and even played tennis. "Once upon a time there was a man who worked very hard and very quickly, and who had left his soul far behind him long ago. The only book in English for readers of all ages by Nobel Prize-winning novelist Olga Tokarczuk is a beautifully illustrated meditation on the fullness of life. Translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones Illustrated by Joanna Concejo
