Where does it begin and end? What does the soul have to do with love? Does it exist at all, and if so, does it outlast the body? Or are the soul and body really one and the same?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are questions posed by the characters who inhabit this book of stories by the award-winning Russian writer Ludmila Ulitskaya. A woman believes that the best way to control her life is to control her death. A landscape photographer wonders if the beauty he has witnessed can triumph over decay. A coroner dedicated to science is confronted by a startling physical anomaly, a lonely divorc'ee experiences an extraordinary transformation, a librarian whose life is devoted to language finds words slipping away from her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these eleven stories, artfully rendered into English by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, Ulitskaya maps the edges of our lives, tracing a delicate geography of the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300270938\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 7.5 Inches, Length: 5 Inches, Width: 0.5 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ludmila Ulitskaya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863706009907,"sku":"9780300270938","price":17.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/24707123482294.jpg?v=1754202362","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-body-of-the-soul","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
