Product description
A carefully curated library of eight substantial hardcover books, combining literary suspense, psychological depth, and a remarkably calm aesthetic. The collection includes thrillers, novels, and literary popular books, each telling its own story but substantively touching upon the same mature world. These are stories where familiar certainties are challenged, and people are confronted with guilt, loss, responsibility, power, truth, and the consequences of their choices. Precisely because of this, these different authors and genres do not feel random when placed side by side. Together, the books form a library with weight and character, without telling the exact same story substantively. Physically, too, the eight books speak a remarkably similar language. The understated black bindings, substantial book blocks, and gold, copper, cream, and white lettering give the substantive world of the collection a fitting form. Differences in format and typography create the natural effect of a private library built up over time. As a result, the collection is both interesting to actually read and particularly strong as a whole in a bookcase, study, or living room. The dark, calm aesthetic easily fits into a classic, industrial, minimalist, or hotel-chic interior, without the books being reduced to purely decorative objects. Contents · Tami Hoag – Doodsengel · Tami Hoag – Tot stof vergaan · Nicholas Evans – De Rookspringer · Tim Griggs – De Vergeving · Janet Fitch – Portret in zwart · Michael Korda – Queenie · Trygve Gulbranssen – Het geslacht Bjørndal · Jef Geeraerts – Gangreen 1 / Gangreen 2 The eight books are offered exclusively as a complete collection. Condition The books are second-hand and are, as a whole, in a neat used condition, with signs of use and age that vary per book. These may include, for example, light wear, discoloration, small damages, a name or note on the endpaper, a sticker, stamp, or other traces of previous ownership. Notable or more than usual condition points are mentioned separately and shown in the photos where relevant. In this collection, the book edges differ in color; some are distinctly cream or slightly yellowed due to age and use. The books are offered without paper dust jackets. See the product photos for the appearance and condition of the individual books.
