Obabakoak (Obabakoak) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Atxaga masterfully weaves the passionate stories of the inhabitants of Obaba-the geography professor recalling his strange love affair with a woman he only knows through letters, the young teacher learning to ward off loneliness throughout a long, cold winter, the writer turning his life around with the discovery of an astonishing detail in an enlarged old photo school. A celebration of the power of books that transport us to unknown places and rescue us from a life of solitude, this novel brims with humor, irony, magic, and mystery.
