Synopsis "The Lost Soul"

The only book in English for readers of all ages by Nobel Prize-winning novelist Olga Tokarczuk is a beautifully illustrated meditation on the fullness of life. Olga Tokarczuk's The Lost Soul, an experimental fable illustrated by Joanna Concejo and translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones, resonates with our current moment. . . . What a striking, and lovely, material object it is. --New York Times The Lost Soul, by Olga Tokarczuk and illustrator Joanna Concejo, is a quiet meditation on happiness, following a busy man who loses his soul. . . It pours a childlike sense of wonder into a once-upon-a-time tale that is already resonating with adults around the world. --The Guardian 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. 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 SoulThe Lost Soul is a sublime album, a rare delicacy that will delight readers young and old. You must find a place of your own, sit there quietly and wait for your soul. Winner of the Bologna Ragazzi Award, Special Mention 2018, Prix de l'Union Internationale pour les Livres de Jeunesse (IBBY), The White Raven (IJB Munich), and the Lódź Design Festival Award.

Olga Tokarczuk, one of the best and most celebrated current Polish writers, has received the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature, awarded in 2019, and has been honored with awards such as the Brueckepreis or the Nike, the most prestigious in her country. Author of nine novels and three storybooks, her works have been translated into forty-five languages and have earned her recognition from colleagues like Annie Proulx ("A writer of the caliber of W. G. Sebald") or Svetlana Alexievich ("A magnificent writer").

At Anagrama she has published A Place Called Antaño: "Tokarczuk is as skilled in character creation as she is in plot articulation, creating a universe where facts are sprinkled with philosophical reflections and bursts of lyricism" (Rafael Narbona, El Mundo); The Wanderers, International Man Booker Prize 2018 and finalist of the National Book Award in the category of translated books: "A beautiful book about the need to cross borders to know something more about ourselves" (Rafael Narbona, El Mundo); "A constellation-novel" (Marta Rebón, El País); "Fascinating, genre-less book" (Mercedes Monmany, ABC); "An inexhaustible book" (Domingo Ródenas de Moya, El Periódico); "Perhaps we are facing the best travel book ever written" (Antonio Lozano, La Vanguardia); "A vibrant mosaic of stories" (Pablo Martínez Zarracina, El Correo); "A great and joyful read" (Santiago Aizarna, El Diario Vasco); and The Books of Jacob: "A work that demands to be read on the same terms as War and Peace" (Tim Smith-Laing, The Telegraph). Her most recent novel is Land of Empusas.

While the story writing is undeniably charming, it's the illustrations that wowed me with this book. In reviews it is billed as a picture book, and there are many exquisite illustrations to dwell on within. Each drawing is a beautiful representation of the beauty that surrounds us everywhere, if we only take the time to look closely and appreciate the moment.
