Day/Night: Travels in the Scriptorium and Man in the Dark by Paul Auster (EPUB)

Description

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ONE VOLUME, TWO EXISTENTIAL CLASSICS BY BESTSELLING NOVELIST PAUL AUSTERDay/Night brings together two metaphysical novels that mirror each other and are meant to be read in tandem: two men, each confined to a room, one suddenly alert to his existence, the other desperate to escape into sleep.In Travels in the Scriptorium (2007), elderly Mr. Blank wakes in an unfamiliar cell, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. He must use the few objects he finds and the information imparted by the day’s string of visitors to cobble together an idea of his identity. In Man in the Dark (2008), another old man, August Brill, suffering from insomnia, struggles to push away thoughts of painful personal losses by imagining what might have been.Who are we? What is real and not real? How does the political intersect with the personal? After great loss, why are some of us unable to go on? “One of America’s greats”* and “a descendant of Kafka and Borges,”** Auster explores in these two small masterpieces some of our most pressing philosophical concerns.*Time Out (Chicago)**Booklist

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Paul Auster, Man in the Dark, plays with the idea of parallel worlds where different situations are solved with a consequence in the real world, however impossible to fulfil. The action in real world shows that there are things more important to solve related to the future of his beloved daughter and granddaughter .It is worth to see how guilt is present in life and sometimes guilt is only an excuse to avoid facing life. Great book to read and confront own thoughts with the development of the plot. don’t miss the chance to enjoy this work.In Travels in the Scriptorium is a way to see how thing must stay the same to grasp reality, if we change the name of things , as the case of the old man that every day the labels are changed, he cannot get a point of view to develop his reality. He is attached only to the primary instincts. Important to evaluate how we are stuck to a quiet reality to built our reality

⭐the book smelled as if shipped from a second store, treated with chemicals to cover up used clothes smell
