'Babel' Summary
In "Babel," Couperus weaves a rich tapestry of fantasy, philosophy, and religious allegory. The novel explores the themes of imagination, ambition, and the limits of human endeavor. Through the eyes of an unnamed narrator, the reader is drawn into a strange and wonderful world where the boundaries between reality and illusion blur. As the narrator explores this strange new world, he begins to question his own beliefs and the nature of reality itself. Ultimately, "Babel" is a novel about the power of the imagination and the human spirit's ability to transcend the limits of the possible.Book Details
