A man works a lot and very quickly. His soul struggles to keep up with him and gets lost. He has no choice but to heed the advice of his doctor: he must wait – wait until his soul is back with him, has caught up with him. And that may take a while. Olga Tokarczuk tells a touching story about the power of patience and memory – and about our relationship with ourselves. Accompanying the text, like a second voice, are Joanna Concejos' mysterious images – a unique universe that awakens dreams and fantasies. The Lost Soul has received several awards, including the Bologna Ragazzi Award, the prize from the International Board on Books for Young People, and is on the recommendation list of the International Youth Library.
