«Le K» is the collection of fantastic tales by Dino Buzzati published in paperback (441 pages, in French).
The title story shows an old sailor facing the shark that has marked his life. The fifty stories in the volume combine the marvelous, the sad and the unsettling to speak of the fleetingness of time, death, the anguish of emptiness, vital failure and the mystery of suffering: an attempt to express the ineffable.
The original collection, «Il colombre», was published in Italian in 1966; the French translation is by Jacqueline Remillet.
For readers of short stories with a fantastic and existential atmosphere, and for those interested in twentieth-century Italian literature.
Dino Buzzati-Traverso was an Italian novelist, short story writer, painter and poet, as well as a journalist for Corriere della Sera. His worldwide fame is mostly due to his novel The Tartar Steppe, although he is also known for his well-received collections of short stories.
