Burning Daylight

Más información sobre el libro

Set in a quiet bar known as the Shovel, a group of men engages in a lackluster discussion about remedies for scurvy, illustrating the somber mood of the night. While some gamble with little excitement, a young woman known as the Virgin captivates attention. The atmosphere is further dampened by the sparse attendance at the poker table and the dreary waltz of couples in the dancing-room. This scene captures the essence of a desolate setting where hope and enthusiasm seem to have faded away.
