Alexis o el tratado del inútil combate – El denario del sueño – El tiro de gracia
Description:
Three of the great Marguerite Yourcenar’s novels in one combined volume. This edition compiles three of Yourcenar’s most relevant novels written between 1929 and 1939. Three stories belonging to her unmistakable universe, crossed by the same obsessions and tinged with the same grey tone that appeals to the most intimate passions and defeats of human nature. These pages gather together contemporary social conflict, the irrevocable passage of time, ever-looming death, love as painful as it is beautiful, eroticism, man’s impotence in the face of an order of things more essential than himself: subtle snippets of the world we belong to. George Steiner said about Alexis or The Treaty of Vain Combat: “A classic … The entire composition is exquisitely balanced.” This book contains the following three Novels Alexis or The Treaty of Vain Combat / A Coin in Nine Hands / Coup de Grâce Description: 352 pages
