description: The only book in English for readers of all ages by Nobel Prize-winning novelist Olga Tokarczuk is a beautifully illustrated meditation on the fullness of life.Bologna Ragazzi Award Special Mention 2018Prix de l'Union Internationale pour les Livres de Jeunesse (IBBY)The White Raven (IJB Munich)d Design Festival AwardOnce upon a time there was a man who worked very hard and very quickly and who had left his soul far behind him long ago. In fact his life was all right without his soul - he slept ate worked drove a car and even played tennis. But sometimes he felt as if the world around him were flat as if he were moving across a smooth page in a math book that was covered in evenly spaced squares...  -from The Lost Soul The Lost Soul is a deeply moving reflection on our capacity to live in peace with ourselves to remain patient attentive to the world. It is a story that beautifully weaves together the voice of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk and the finely detailed pen-and-ink drawings of illustrator Joanna Concejo who together create a parallel narrative universe full of secrets evocative of another time. Here a man has forgotten what makes his heart feel full. He moves to a house away from all that is familiar to him to wait for his soul to return. The Lost Soul is a sublime album a rare delicacy that will delight readers young and old.You must find a place of your own sit there quietly and wait for your soul.
