Continent

Bag om Continent

Jim Crace's imaginative first book?seven linked stories?now available in deluxe paperback as part of Ecco's The Art of the Story seriesJim Crace's internationally acclaimed Continent explores the tribes and communities, conflicts and superstitions, flora and fauna of a wholly spellbinding place: an imaginary seventh continent. In these seven tales Crace travels through strange and wonderful landscapes: ?Talking Skull? takes the reader to a tiny agrarian village renowned for the sexually charged, mystical milk of its calves; ?Electricity? introduces a remote region where a monumental ceiling fan changes an entire town's attitude toward modernization. From acacia scrubland to a city bazaar jammed with vegetable stalls, tourists, and beggars, Crace's invented world is as fabulous as it is eerily familiar.
