Produktbeschreibung
The narrator, just out of childhood, lives in a small village with his parents, who work in the house of a well-to-do family. Fascinated, he observes the life of the gentlemen and their children, who inhabit a world that is inaccessible and increasingly contradictory to him. As the days and seasons go by, he will turn his gaze towards the environment where he grew up and which seems to be more and more endangered, threatened by a new way of life. The Sidewalk presents us with a physical and human landscape that has disappeared, victim of urban pressure, and claims, with a rich language deeply rooted in the territory, the roots of a people located between the land and the sea. With exceptional delicacy, she offers us an exquisite and subtle account of the transition to adulthood. The plot describes a fading world, capturing the essence of a place affected by drastic changes, while paying homage to the richness of language and connection to the environment. This story is ultimately a reflection on loss and transformation, presented with a narrative mastery that reveals the author's mastery in exploring deep and universal themes.
