Charles Bukowski - Sobre o Amor
18.45€
Could there be a worse writer than Charles Bukowski to write about love? And yet, could there be a better one?
In these pages, we see the poet wrestle with the complications and contradictions of love — that feeling which touches us all. Shifting between bitterness and tenderness, romance and rawness, Bukowski lays bare the many faces of love, spanning the full spectrum of emotions and expressions: selflessness and selfishness, devotion and narcissism, misery and redemption — and above all, its mystery. Compiled by Abel Debritto, the author’s biographer, these poems reveal a Bukowski who is brilliant, biting, playful, metaphysical, even sentimental. Love becomes the lens through which the great American poet observes the world and shares it with us — an observation at times sweet, at times acerbic, of a feeling as inescapable as it is elusive, as beautiful as it is cruel.
