AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1 volume in-8 pleine broché, 182 pages (non coupées), légères usures extérieures, intérieur frais - Agréable exemplaire.
Edition originale, un des 109 exemplaires numérotés sur vergé Lafuma
Résumé
L’histoire suit un cheval blanc mystérieux, presque irréel, qui fascine ceux qui le rencontrent. Plutôt qu’un récit classique avec intrigue linéaire, le texte fonctionne par images, impressions et symboles.
Le cheval devient une sorte de figure mythique :
symbole de liberté
incarnation du rêve et de l’imaginaire
présence insaisissable, presque surnaturelle
Les personnages humains gravitent autour de lui sans jamais vraiment le comprendre ni le posséder.
Thèmes principaux
L’évasion et le rêve : le cheval représente un ailleurs inaccessible
La beauté fugace : quelque chose de pur mais impossible à retenir
Le rapport entre réel et imaginaire
La poésie du monde : plus importante que l’action elle-même
Style
Écriture très poétique et sensorielle
Atmosphère onirique (comme un rêve)
Peu d’intrigue classique → c’est surtout une expérience de lecture
1 volume in-8 full paperback, 182 pages (uncut), light external wear, fresh interior - Nice copy.
Original edition, one of the 109 numbered copies on vergé Lafuma
Summary
The story follows a mysterious, almost unreal white horse that fascinates those who meet him. Rather than a classic narrative with a linear plot, the text works by images, impressions and symbols.
The horse becomes a kind of mythical figure:
symbol of freedom
incarnation of the dream and the imagination
elusive, almost supernatural presence
Human characters gravitate around him without ever really understanding or possessing him.
Main themes
Escape and dream: the horse represents an inaccessible elsewhere
Fleeting beauty: something pure but impossible to remember
The relationship between real and imaginary
The poetry of the world: more important than action itself
Style
Very poetic and sensory writing
Dreamlike atmosphere (like a dream)
Little classic plot → it is mostly a reading experience
