Sigismund

Lars Gustafsson

3.8/5 ( ratings)

King Sigismund, the seventeenth-century Polish monarch, learns how to live simultaneously in the past, present, and the future.

Gustafsson leisurely pulls together seeming fragments into a narrative of 1970s Berlin that at once looks back to Homer, Dante, and the Faust legend and ahead to space warfare and intergalactic travel. Childhood memories of Sweden, Marxist-Leninism, sports competition, art, epistemology, daydreams - nothing is excluded from the purview of Gustafsson's lighthearted humanism. And behind it all broods the restless spirit of the author's alter ego, the warring king, Sigismund III of Poland .

Language: English

Pages: 191
