Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Een persoonlijke ontdekkingstocht door een desolaat Parijs Kort nadat Henk Pröpper 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 kloppen, ontwaakt hij in een lege stad. Parijs is tijdens de lockdown veranderd in een verlaten toneel. Om zijn herstel te bespoedigen, zet Pröpper 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 Pröpper 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, Honoré 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 de 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. …
