Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A haunting masterpiece of Portuguese modern literature, newly translated into English.In a decaying provincial town where time seems to have stopped, the living move like shadows among memories, graves, rituals, dreams, and despair. Humus, Raul Brandão's visionary novel, is not a conventional story but a profound meditation on existence, death, illusion, faith, poverty, and the hidden life of the soul.First published in 1917, Humus stands as one of the most original works of Portuguese fiction: lyrical, philosophical, fragmented, and startlingly modern. Through diary-like entries, spectral dialogues, and hallucinatory reflections, Brandão transforms a small town into a symbolic universe where every stone, tree, corpse, and human face trembles with metaphysical meaning.This English edition brings to new readers a work of rare intensity: part novel, part prose poem, part spiritual confession. For readers of Dostoevsky, Pessoa, Kafka, and the great European modernists, Humus offers a dark, luminous journey into the mystery of being alive.A forgotten town. A restless dream. A book that asks what remains when all illusions fall away.…
