A pianist falls grandly, helplessly in love in this elegant new
novella from the twice-Booker Prize winner The Pole tells the story
of Witold Walczykiewicz, a vigorous, white-haired pianist, who
becomes infatuated with Beatriz, a stylish patron of the arts,
after she helps organize his Barcelona concert. Although Beatriz,
who is married, is initially unimpressed by Wittold, she soon finds
herself pursued and ineluctably swept into his world. As he sends
her letters, extends countless invitations to travel, and even
visits her husband's summer home in Mallorca, their unlikely
relationship blossoms, though only on her terms. As the power
struggle between them intensifies -- Is it Beatriz who limits their
passion by controlling her emotions? Or is it Witold, trying to
force into life his dream of love? Evocative of Joyce's 'The Dead,'
The Pole is a haunting work, evoking the 'inexhaustible palette of
sensations, from blind love to compassion' (El PaĆs) typical of
Coetzee's finest novels. Published together with five exceptional
stories, this new work from one of our greatest writers is a must
for all literary connoisseurs.
