About this product
Product Information
To research his thesis on contemporary agrarian life, anthropology student David Mazon moves from Paris to La Pierre-Saint-Christophe, a village in the marshlands of western France. Determined to understand the essence of the local culture, the intrepid young scholar scurries around restlessly on his moped to interview residents. But what David doesn't yet know is that here, in this seemingly ordinary place, once the stage for wars and revolutions, Death leads a dance: when one thing perishes, the Wheel of Life recycles its soul and hurls it back into the world as microbe, human, or wild animal, sometimes in the past, sometimes in the future. And once a year, Death and the living observe a temporary truce during a gargantuan three-day feast where gravediggers gorge themselves on food, drink, and language. Brimming with Mathias Énard's characteristic wit and encyclopedic brilliance, The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers' Guild is a riotous novel where the edges between past and present are constantly dissolving against a Rabelaisian backdrop of excess.

Reviews
Énard fuses recollection and scholarly digression into a swirling, hypnotic, stream-of-consciousness narration., The real story becomes history, the fluidity of time, the democratizing powers of death, and -- through a stew of Buddhist, Christian and Islamic philosophies -- the cyclical jumble of life. This is Énard at his best..., So that the real story becomes history, the fluidity of time, the democratizing powers of death, and -- through a stew of Buddhist, Christian and Islamic philosophies -- the cyclical jumble of life. This is Énard at his best..., In Mathias Enard's magnificent new novel, they banish the ghosts by feasting on a grand, Rabelaisian scale.Through a meal that takes in innumerable courses, boisterously parodic speeches and industrial quantities of fermented grape juice, Enard guides the reader through a history of eloquence, which runs from Boethius to Bossuet, and a story of the French palate that leaves no dish unturned., A Feast of Pathos and Pleasure, and a Shimmering Argument for the Interconnectedness of Everything., Cosmic melody--sometimes rhapsodic, sometimes dissonant or atonal--orchestrates the novel, binding the disparate characters into loose networks of karmic reciprocation and rebirth., All of Énard's books share the hope of transposing prose into the empyrean of pure sound, where words can never correspond to stable meanings. He's the composer of a discomposing age.

I didn’t receive the book I ordered….I ordered the Alfred’s Basic Level 1A Lesson Book. It’s pictured on your website as having children on the cover. This is a nice adult book, but it won’t do
