Seven Ages

Opis produktu:

The Nobel Prize winner in Literature, Loiuse Gluck has long practised poetry as a species of clairvoyance. She began as Cassandra, at a distance, in league with the immortal; to read her books sequentially is to chart the oracle`s metamorphosis into unwilling vessel, reckless, mortal and crude. `The Seven Ages` is Gluck`s ninth book, her strangest and most bold. In it she stares down her own death, and, in so doing, forces endless superimpositions of the possible on the impossible - an act that simultaneously defied and embraces the inevitable, and is, finally, mimetic. Over and over, at each wild leap or transformation, flames shoot up at the reader`s spine.
