On the outskirts of a northwestern European river port city lives a powerful woman banker a public figure admired and hated in equal measure who has decided to turn from the worlds of high finance and modern life to embark on a quest. Having commissioned a famous writer to undertake her \"authentic\" biography she journeys through the Spanish Sierra de Gredos and the region of La Mancha to meet him. As she travels by all - terrain vehicle bus and finally on foot the nameless protagonist encounters five way stations that become the stuff of her biography and the biography of the modern world a world in which genuine images and unmediated experiences have been exploited and falsified by commercialization and by the voracious mass media. Crossing the Sierra de Gredos is a very human book of yearning and the ancient quest for love peopled with memorable characters (from multiple historical periods) and imbued with Handke's inimitable ability to portray universal inner - worldly adventures that blend past future present and dreamtime.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Crossing The Sierra De Gredos\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Handke Peter\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Picador Usa\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781250750648\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 480 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/7\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Modern \u0026amp; Contemporary Fiction","brand":"Handke Peter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49614786986289,"sku":"IN-G-9781250750648","price":17.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781250750648.jpg?v=1724615821","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781250750648-crossing-the-sierra-de-gredos","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
