The 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 mobila sa veche putrezeste in depozit, Malte Laurids Brigge locuieste intr-o camera ieftina din Paris, avand doar un permis de cititor al bibliotecii ca sa-l deosebeasca de intangibilii orasului. Fiecare persoana pe care o vede pare sa-si poarte moartea cu ea, iar el se gandeste la mortile si fantomele familiei sale aristocratice, din care a mai ramas doar el.
