pickAn intriguing hier novella that is part adventure story, part mystery.
A man ends up stranded on a deserted island for with another person. When he returns he does not tell his story for years until he is ill and dying at which point he finally tells his story to be published. Interesting, thought provoking and with a great twist. #europacollective
"Among those who had known him best, there were those who said he wasn't even Prendel, but naturally no one said this to his face and afterwards I never told him any of these rumors.He had enough misfortune, my poor doctor, being incapable of recognizing anyone from the past, as if being shipwrecked had erased his memory.Later I came to the conclusion that it wasn't amnesia, but defeat."
