Loneliness with the rolled -up "P". Rakuza I.

Katitsa, Maurice, Lou, Marya. Venask, Bondo, Tomai. People and places. Meetings and partings. Brief invasions of a person alone - wherever he, in Zurich, Nagoy or Graz, near Mount Vantu or on the Slovenian plateau of Karst. These are stories about people divorced from their land, wandering around the world, whether in their own will or under the influence of circumstances. They seek, find, lose, in a word, live difficult, sometimes dramatic lives. The Swiss writer Ilma Rakuza draws their images extremely carefully and delicate. Her style is concise, the language is poetic and accurate. She generously leaves the place of mysterious incredited in her stories, so the heroes gain special attractiveness.
