Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Circle It was a stormy night in November; out of doors, the wind swung through the street in a rocking gale, but in the parlour behind the curio shop, life seemed at its ebb. Old Solny pored over a musty book, and Anna stood with her head thrown back, her hands clasped behind her, her eyes seeing dreams; above them, on the dun-coloured wall, the Dutch clock ticked methodically, but otherwise the room was bereft of sound. It was long before either moved; then Solny stirred automatically - all his actions were jerky and indirect - and Anna unclasped her hands. She watched him fumble for his handkerchief, and the comers of her mouth stiffened unconsciously as he opened the knotted comer and drew out his worn snuff-box, opening the lid with a little snap. Youth is all raw edges to the foibles of age, and Anna was not yet sixteen. She moved impatiently, and the dreamy look drifted from her eyes like a shadow before the sun. "Father," she said, "it´s long past eight." He turned, and a tiny cloud, like fine brown sand, scattered from his fingers along his sleeve.
