Strangers - Anita Brookner - książka
Producent: Fig Tree
Paul Sturgis, an unmarried retired man approaching the twilight of his life, feels as though he's only a spectator to his own existence, grappling with a sense of invisibility. His small, dim apartment in London never quite feels like home. To ward off solitude, Paul strolls through the city’s bustling streets each day, delighting in brief interactions with strangers such as the friendly hairdresser, the woman at the dry cleaners, and occasionally stepping into a café for a coffee. Whenever he craves more vibrancy and warmth, he ventures on short trips across the continent, albeit always returning to London. Worrying that he might end up living and dying amidst unknown faces, Paul yearns for companionship or even just meaningful conversation. These feelings propel him to reminisce about past failed relationships. However, an unexpected meeting with a younger, recently divorced woman disrupts his daily pattern, and the reappearance of an old flame compels him to decide about whom he wishes to spend his remaining years with.
