“Once upon a time there was a man who worked very hard and very quickly, and who had
left his soul far behind him long ago. In fact his life was all right without his soul—he slept,
ate, worked, drove a car and even played tennis. But sometimes he felt as if the world
around him were flat, as if he were moving across a smooth page in a math book that was
covered in evenly spaced squares…”—from The Lost Soul
The Lost Soul is a deeply moving reflection on our capacity to live in peace with ourselves,
to remain patient, attentive to the world. It is a story that beautifully weaves together the
voice of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk and the finely detailed
pen-and-ink drawings of illustrator Joanna Concejo, who together create a parallel narrative
universe full of secrets, evocative of another time. Here a man has forgotten what makes
his heart feel full. He moves to a house away from all that is familiar to him to wait for his
soul to return.
The Lost Soul is a sublime album, a rare delicacy that will delight readers young and old.
