Paperback. Condition: New. 'A very special book that I enjoyed enormously' Cees NooteboomA dazzling ode to life, literature and Paris, the French capital that even in emptiness and desolation will always be magnificent.Soon after Henk Pröpper moves from Amsterdam to Paris, both the world and his heart almost come to a full stop.… He undergoes major surgery and awakes in an empty city in lockdown. Paris is transformed into an abandoned stage. To quicken his recovery, Pröpper begins walking. He combs his immediate surroundings, he hunts for the past, discovering countless commemorative plaques and monuments that honour well- and lesser-known Parisians and keep their histories alive. Pröpper also reflects on his own life and the literature that has shaped him. In this way, he walks in the footsteps of literary heroes such as Victor Hugo, of Balzac and of Camus.'One of the most moving and most invigorating autobiographies ever written. This is a finely polished gem worthy of admiration' Knack'A concise masterpiece that summarises a life in the time of the pandemic in the personal, euphoric and precarious shades of one year. Without one's realising, it covers just about everything: thoughts, emotions, literature, films, loves, feelings, memories, annoyances and doubts' Vrij Nederland'Philosophical, reflective, and with the pleasantly slow heartbeat of a writer who carries the reader through the city, European literature and history' het ParoolTranslated by Emma Rault.Epilogue translated by Sherry Macdonald.

Condition: Good. First Edition. Een persoonlijke ontdekkingstocht door een desolaat Parijs Kort nadat Henk Pr?pper in het voorjaar van 2020 van Amsterdam naar Parijs verhuisde, kwam behalve de wereld ook zijn hart bijna tot stilstand. Nadat de cardioloog een pacemaker heeft geplaatst die zijn verzwakte hart krachtiger doet klopp…en, ontwaakt hij in een lege stad. Parijs is tijdens de lockdown veranderd in een verlaten toneel. Om zijn herstel te bespoedigen, zet Pr?pper het op een lopen, maar Parijzenaren mogen op last van de overheid niet verder dan anderhalve kilometer van hun huis komen. Daarom besluit hij zijn directe omgeving te gaan verkennen. Hij speurt naar gedenkplaten en monumenten die meer en minder beroemde stadgenoten eren en hun geschiedenissen tot leven wekken. Onderwijl denkt Pr?pper aan zijn eigen leven en vooral aan de literatuur die hem gevormd heeft. Zo treedt hij - soms letterlijk - in de voetsporen van literaire helden als Victor Hugo, Honor? de Balzac en Albert Camus. Hartslag 27 is een beklijvend boek over het belang van literatuur, en een schitterend portret van Parijs, de Franse hoofdstad die zelfs in haar leegte en desolaatheid magnifiek is.

Condition: Good. First Edition. Cesare Pavese wilde zich laten leiden door de lokroep van de natuur. Marcel Proust, gekluisterd aan zijn bed, droomde ervan zich te laten uitvloeien in het kristalheldere water van de Vivonne, of in een met sinaasappelsap doortrokken kus. Henri Michaux wilde vliegen, niet als een vogel, maar als d…e vleugels van een vogel, gewichtloos. Marguerite Yourcenar schreef haar autobiografie om voort te bestaan als een romanpersonage. Montaigne stelde vragen, liefst eenvoudige - die zijn het moeilijkst te beantwoorden. Het zoeken naar die antwoorden leidde tot zijn Essais, wandelingen zonder routebeschrijving in zijn brein. Een intiem slagveld is het resultaat van een serie steekspelen, een bundel voor vechtjassen die er niet voor terugdeinzen om ongewapend tegenover de groten van de wereldliteratuur te staan. Met heel lichamelijke beelden wordt het werk van Proust, Michaux, Pavese en anderen opengelegd: operaties op een intiem slagveld.; Puntgaaf ex., ook het binnenwerk is schoon en fris.
