You have already buried the first.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Somewhere along the coastline of Italy,  a man passes his days in solitude and silence, tending a garden and reading books  of travel and adventure. Through these simple routines he seeks to quiet the painful  memories of the past: a life on the run from Argentina's Dirty War; a young bride  'disappeared' by the military; a terrifying escape through the wilds of Patagonia.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Yet everywhere he turns, new life is pulsing, ready to awaken his senses, like the  force that drives his fruit trees into bloom. People and events from the past and  present migrate into patterns assigned by a metaphysical geometry. A woman of the  world re-introduces him to love. An African day laborer teaches him the meaning of  gratitude.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this intense narrative, every acute observation, every nuance, becomes  a means of salvation. Using a language that is both gripping and contemplative, \u003ci\u003eThree  Horses\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable tale.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Praise for \u003ci\u003eThe Sea of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Poetic . . . charged  with anger and desire.\"\u003cbr\u003e -\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Alluring . . . shimmeringly  lyrical.\"\u003cbr\u003e -\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Other Press","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46767823159523,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781590511350","price":83.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781590511350.jpg?v=1751365819","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/en-mo\/products\/9781590511350","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
