Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 092404747X, Paperback)

Return to Calm, published in French in 1989 and appearing here as a full bilingual edition, immerses the reader in Jacques Reda s lyrical observations of the everyday. Its seven distinct sections offer reflections on youth, on travel in open country, on seasons, on Paris and on remembrance itself. They provide a rhythmic initiation into the outer world s beauty, through the eyes of a writer deeply attuned to the passing of time and space.
