Brossura. Condition: new. Translation by Sachs B.Multilingual Text.Firenze, 2009; paperback, pp. 108, col. ill., cm 30x30. "La vita non è in ordine alfabetico come credete voi. Appare un po' qua e un po' là, come meglio crede", dice Tabucchi nel libro che dà il via alle immagini di Karl Stengel. L'intensità del Tristano muore, gioiello letterario cui si ispira il lavoro illustrato in queste pagine, pare non avere cesure, rotture, stonature con l'opera dell'artista di origini ungheresi, che ne traduce la visionarietà in passaggi indelebili. Le parole dell'uno si inanellano con i colori e le forme dell'altro ad un ritmo che fa pensare ad un incontro improvviso. Libro.
