ISBN: 9798257911309 - the shape of absence (5 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Shape of Absence is a haunting literary novel that reimagines the world through the concept of stillness, depicting a scenario in which the wind disappears not as a result of catastrophe, but because the planet attains a precarious equilibrium. In Colloway County, eleven-year-old Elara Wren discovers that wind is not simply air in motion, but rather a dynamic relationship arising from contrasts: heat pursuing cold, and discord sustaining life. During the forty days of "The Stillness," birds remain motionless, smoke does not rise, and flags hang limp. Elara, her grandmother Ruth, her father Daniel, and Dr. Aravind face daily challenges and personal insights. Laundry deteriorates on the line, cornfields stall under pollen, and people experience a sensory void that quiets even their thoughts. Employing poetic prose that integrates physics, philosophy, and human longing, the narrative progresses through distinct phases: The Breath Before, The Stirring, and The Great Relearning. Elara's journal observation, "The wind is a relationship between things," initiates a subtle revolution, reminding a diminished world of its inherent capacity for tension, memory, and motion. Ideal for readers of literary fiction, speculative works, and introspective narratives such as The Road or Station Eleven, this debut by Dr. Bhuban Chandra Deuri (De Brook Publishing, Assam, India) explores themes of absence, perception, and renewal. The novel reflects on what is missing and the inevitable return of difference, suggesting that as long as one heart beats out of sync, the wind will rise. This item is printed on demand.
