4.9/5 (31682 ratings)

Description:In an unnamed foreign country, a family of three settles into a house at the edge of the woods where they hope to make a life. But something is off. A sound, at first like coughing and then like laughter, emanates from the nearby forest. Fantastical creatures, it is said, live out there in a castle where feudal lords reigned and Resistance fighters fell. When the mother, fearing another miscarriage, returns to her family’s home to give birth to a second child, father and son are left to their own devices in rural isolation. Haunted by the ever-present woods, they look on as the TV flashes with floods and processions of refugees. The boy brings a mysterious half-naked old woman home, but before the father can make sense of her presence, she disappears. A mail carrier with a menacing disposition visits to deliver nothing but gossip of violence. A tree stump in the yard refuses to die, no matter how generously the poison is applied.An allegory for societal alienation and climate catastrophe unlike any other, At the Edge of the Woods sees the Mishima Prize-winning writer’s trademark understatement used to brutal, brilliant effect. A psychological tale where myth and fantasy are not the dominion of childhood innocence but the poison fruit borne of the fear, paranoia, and violence of contemporary life.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
