Adam & Eve & Pinch Me. E-book. Formato PDF - 9788835342779

Beautifully constructed short stories, with more than a hint of poetry in the word choices and syntax.

Mr. Coppard's implicit theme is the closeness of the spiritual world to the material; the strange, communicative sympathy which strikes through two temperatures and suddenly makes them one. He deals with those sudden impulses under which secrecy is broken down for a moment, and personality revealed as under a flash of spiritual lightning.
