Yesterday

Más información sobre el libro

"In her trademark spare, elegant prose, Ágota Kristóf explores the haunting world of exile and love. Tobias, the illegitimate son of a whore and the local schoolmaster, flees the pressures and judgments of his village to the soothing anonymity of life in the city and a job at a factory. But his carefully constructed world is shattered when Caroline, his childhood love, appears with her husband and young child. First translated into English in 1997, this Dover edition marks the first time Yesterday is published in the United States. Its treatment of dislocation, the search for love and belonging, and life as an emigrant resonate as strongly now as they did when this book first appeared"-- Provided by publisher
