THE POLE AND OTHER STORIES - JM COETZEE KARTONI...

A pianist falls grandly  helplessly in love in this elegant new novella from the twice-Booker
Prize winner    The Pole tells the story of Witold Walczykiewicz  a vigorous  white-haired
pianist  who becomes infatuated with Beatriz  a stylish patron of the arts  after she helps
organize his Barcelona concert.  Although Beatriz  who is married  is initially unimpressed by
Wittold  she soon finds herself pursued and ineluctably swept into his world. As he sends her
letters  extends countless invitations to travel  and even visits her husband's summer home in
Mallorca  their unlikely relationship blossoms  though only on her terms.  As the power
struggle between them intensifies -- Is it Beatriz who limits their passion by controlling her
emotions? Or is it Witold  trying to force into life his dream of love? Evocative of Joyce's
'The Dead ' The Pole is a haunting work  evoking the 'inexhaustible palette of sensations  from
blind love to compassion' (El País) typical of Coetzee's finest novels.  Published together
with five exceptional stories  this new work from one of our greatest writers is a must for all
literary connoisseurs.
