Description
Book Synopsis
Through the door of a Swiss inn the reader steps into a painting. Two men talk to each other and before long the writer -someone like them, one of them- begins to address us. Thus commences the fugue that is Beauty on Earth, in which the coming of a beautiful orphan to her uncle's inn brings a gradual chaos upon his town. Swiss novelist Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz published La Beauté in 1927. This translation by Michelle Bailat-Jones is a gift for which English language readers have waited decades.Review Quotes
"This is an astonishing novel. I speak nothing but ordering-in-a-restaurant / booking-a-hotel-room French so I can only think that Michelle Bailat-Jones, the translator, is a poet as well as - obviously - a fluent French speaker because this novel, which I read in her translation, reads like liquid music."
