Paperback. Zustand: New. Flights, a novel about travel in the twenty-first century and human anatomy, is Olga Tokarczuk's most ambitious to date. It interweaves travel narratives and reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration. From the seventeenth century, we have the story of the Dutch anatomist Philip Verheyen, who dissected and drew pictures of his own amputated leg. From the eighteenth century, we have the story of a North African-born slave turned Austrian courtier stuffed and put on display after his death. In the nineteenth century, we follow Chopin's heart as it makes the covert journey from Paris to Warsaw. In the present we have the trials of a wife accompanying her much older husband as he teaches a course on a cruise ship in the Greek islands, and the harrowing story of a young husband whose wife and child mysteriously vanish on a holiday on a Croatian island. With her signature grace and insight, Olga Tokarczuk guides the reader beyond the surface layer of modernity and towards the core of the very nature of humankind.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Welcome aboard Flights (2017) by Olga Tokarczuk , published by Fitzcarraldo Editions ? a book that looks slim, elegant, and well-behaved, and then immediately starts slipping out of your hands like a bar of philosophical soap. It?s not a novel in the ?here is a plot, enjoy your meal? sense. It?s a novel in the ?here is a constellation of thoughts, bodies, journeys, odd stories and quiet obsessions, please reassemble reality yourself? sense. Which is, frankly, the best kind. This is literature for people who have ever stood in an airport and thought, I?m not sure where I am, but I am definitely somewhere. Tokarczuk treats movement as both a physical act and a state of mind ? trains, planes, ferries, footpaths, hotel rooms, museum cabinets, and all the liminal spaces where time goes wobbly and identity feels negotiable. It?s a book about travel, but not the Instagram kind. More the kind where you start questioning what it means to have a home, a body, a name, or a fixed point at all. Expect fragments: miniature essays, vignettes, strange anecdotes, scientific curiosities, meditations on anatomy and preservation, and recurring human oddness. The connective tissue is motion ? the compulsion to leave, to drift, to keep going, to avoid becoming pinned down like a specimen. It?s clever, slippery, funny in an understated way, and quietly unnerving when it wants to be. You?ll find yourself reading a page that feels like a tidy little story, and then it tilts into something bigger, like the floor shifting beneath a museum display. Fitzcarraldo?s trademark minimalist style suits it perfectly: clean cover, serious vibes, and the unspoken promise that this book may gently alter how you think about being alive. It?s the kind of title you can carry on a journey and feel smug about, even while it?s dismantling your sense of narrative order. Condition: Very Good , meaning this copy has been treated with the respect usually reserved for passports and library books ? handled, read, and put back down with care, as if the reader suspected it might evaporate if left open too long. Ideal for anyone who likes their fiction: intelligent and inventive, structurally mischievous, full of strange beauty and sideways insight, and absolutely uninterested in giving you a straight line from beginning to end. Sold by Crappy Old Books , of course ? the perfect place for a pristine Fitzcarraldo to end up, waiting to lure the next reader into a gentle, elegant, existential layover.
