Requiem - Antonio Tabucchi Herman Vinckers while Pillars of the Community

while Pillars of the Community and An Enemy of the People both explore the hypocrisy and the dark tensions at the heart of society

Ze vertoeven in het gezelschap van vissers

trots en ijdelheid

ironie en lichte spot

Törless wordt verscheurd door gevoelens van zowel afkeer als fascinatie en helpt het slachtoffer niet

Requiem - Antonio Tabucchi Herman Vinckers while Pillars of the CommunityIn the city of Lisbon, Requiem's narrator has an appointment to meet someone on a quay by the Tagus at twelve. Misunderstanding twelve to mean noon as opposed to midnight, he is left to wait. As the day unfolds he has many unexpected encounters with a young drug addict, a disorientated taxi driver, a cemetery keeper, the mysterious Isabel and the ghost of the late great poet Fernando Pessoa each meeting travelling between the real and illusionary.
