Soft cover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. First Collier Books Edition 1990, 1st printing. Translated by Ralph Manheim. 243pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "Part professional notebook, part personal diary, THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD stands as Peter Handke's most substantial autobiographical work to date. Written during his 'Paris period,' it records the details of Handke's daily life from his impressions of passing strangers, to the deep and delicate nature of his relationship with his daughter, to a brief hospital stay that stirs his ever-present fear of death. Handke's goal is to have a creative 'worksheet' through which he can preserve and explore the sources of aesthetic inspiration. The result is a complete offering of the moods and insights--ranging from the outrageous, sarcastic, and bitter to the humorous and gentle--of one of the world's most provocative and insightful contemporary writers." [publisher copy] "One of those rare works of art that carry with them the potential for clearing the way from new thought--real thought."--Sam Shepard, Vanity Fair. "There is no denying Handke's willful intensity and knifelike clarity of emotion. He writes from an area beyond psychology, where feelings acquire the adamancy of randomly encountered, geologically analyzed pebbles."--John Updike, The New Yorker. "Time's impression on the world is Handke's reality . . . He sees clearly, reading the world with the care of a master novelist."--Jerome Klinkowitz, Chicago Tribune. "His prose is reminiscent of the writings of Henry James . . . a passion for understanding, for grasping the tortured complexities of contemporary life."--The Philadelphia Inquirer. Pristine, Fine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable. N° de réf. du vendeur RUB3157
