Description:
'I would have strung the wild cat, as my father called them, on my nail-tipped arrow without hesitation if the animal had not changed before my eyes into a pet that washed itself every evening on a warm windowsill. I could not tell from the cat's eyes whether she despised me or begged me for mercy. I let the arrow slide powerlessly between my thumb and index finger.' In his parents' garden, Coen Simon takes his first steps in thinking. In a moving story, we see how the fantasy world of the young Simon is increasingly put to the test by reality. Instead of losing his imagination, he discovers more and more unsuspected powers of the mind. One question never lets go of him: how can you discover the truth of your existence if you can never get away from your own particular fate? During a search along the edges of thought, Simon proves to be an equally compelling storyteller and contrary philosopher. Thus begins Every Seer is a page-turner about growing up, happiness, memory, friendship, love, dream and magic.
