Awake Format:Paperback like the child in HansHarald Voetmanns eye opening English debut, Awake, is the first book of his erudite and grotesque trilogy about humankinds inhuman will to conquer nature. In a shuttered bedroom in ancient Italy, the sleepless Pliny the Elder lies in bed obsessively dictating new chapters of his Natural History to his slave Diocles. Wheezing, imperious, and prone to nosebleeds, Pliny doesnt believe in spending his evenings in repose. No to be awake is to be alive.
