As Christmas approaches, a tenant mysteriously disappears, leading to a cast of characters being assembled before us. Among them are an elderly aristocratic widow who plays the piano, a young mother who disciplines her hallucinating son, and a photographer who pursues creative experiments under the magnetic spell of the moon. Meanwhile, a dark cloud threatens to envelop the city, and caped crusaders wander its park. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe film screening is a key part of the story, as the eccentric Professor will surely solve the enigma on Christmas Eve. Edifice is a pan-European Pandoras Box of narrative Russian dolls and Chinese boxes, building into an Expressionist graphic vision of our archetypal, metamorphic Shadows. Whether or not it is an allegory of some sort, Andrzej Klimowski's masterpiece of symbolic form is certainly one of the strangest Christmas stories you will ever read. If you look carefully, you will see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 78g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 190 x 260 x 4 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781914224256\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrzej Klimkowski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46852946460922,"sku":"9781914224256","price":12.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1731098246599_book.jpg?v=1731447646","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/edifice-9781914224256","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
