Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge

While his old furniture rots in storage, Malte Laurids Brigge lives in a cheap room in Paris, with little but a library reader's card to distinguish him from the city's untouchables. Every person he sees seems to carry their death with them, and he thinks of the deaths, and ghosts, of his aristocratic family, of which only he remains.

In timp ce vechea lui mobila putrezeste in depozit, Malte Laurids Brigge locuieste intr-o camera ieftina din Paris, cu doar un carnet de cititor de biblioteca care sa-l deosebeasca de cei de neatins ai orasului. Fiecare persoana pe care o vede pare sa-si poarte moartea cu ea si se gandeste la mortile si la fantomele familiei sale aristocratice, din care doar el ramane.
