Tolea, an eccentric middle-aged intellectual who has been dismissed from his job as a high school teacher on moral grounds, is investigating his fathers death forty years after the fact, and is drawn into a web of suspicion and black humor. Norman Maneas enigmatic and artful novel-set against the backdrop of life under the repressive Ceausescu regime-depicts the chaos and deprivation of Toleas existence, and his tenuous grip on reality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936010567968,"sku":"NEW0300182945","price":36.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-black-envelope-the-margellos-world-republic-of-letters-0300182945","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
