The Black Pearl (Polish: Czarna Perła) is a 2012 Polish non-fiction book written by Madlen Namro.
Plot
This collection of three stories under a joint name The Black Pearl is based on author's notes from traveling around Italy. Each of the characters met by the author tells her a moving history of his or her life. When talking to the author they experience a particular catharsis: a spiritual and emotional cleanse, they release emotions, they seem to want to tame the sometimes pointless chaos of their lives. The need to confide stems from the internal need of sorting one’s thoughts. Each of us needs understanding and affection. All of these stories are naturally brought to order by life which puts them into a coherent wholeness.
