A sensitive and touching memoir of childhood, growing up, family and friends relationships, especially his gentle observances of a strong bond and relationship with his mother.
He displays throughout his acute observation and amazing recall of detail.
He relates how he became a poet through illness and encouragement of a faithful English teacher.

A five-star book, less half a star for the patronizing way Motion makes pronouncements about what Larkin didn't really mean or how Larkin was doing or saying this or that merely for effect; and another half a star for his inability to present Larkin's political views without downplaying them, denigrating them; or pretending they were the result of Larkin's shallow understanding of politics.

Julio de 1802. En las marismas de la orilla oriental del Támesis se levanta la Hispaniola, la posada de Jim Hawkins y su hijo. El joven Jim pasa los días vagando por el brumoso estuario, haciendo recados para su padre y escuchando sus relatos: historias de aventuras en alta mar, de maldiciones, venganzas y tesoros enterrados… y de un hombre con una pata de palo. Una noche, llega por el río una misteriosa joven llamada Natty con una petición de su padre, el pirata John Silver «el Largo», para el joven Jim. Envejecido y débil, Silver quiere que Jim y Natty zarpen hacia la isla del tesoro en busca de los «hermosos lingotes de plata» que Silver y el padre de Jim dejaron allí muchos años antes. Ya se ha fletado un barco y contratado una curtida tripulación; su capitán sólo espera el mapa, guardado bajo llave en la Hispaniola. Jim y Natty parten, y su vacilante amistad va estrechándose día tras día. Pero la emoción tras los avatares del viaje deja paso al terror cuando descubren que la isla no está tan deshabitada como en el pasado.… (altro)

While Motion's prose is flawless, the disconcerted and often rambling nature of his narrative makes this book tedious to finish. Nonetheless, "The New World" succeeds in igniting a nostalgia for the original "Treasure Island" in the hearts and minds of its readers and if a book's success can be measured by the emotions it invokes- then "The New World" is that type of novel which truly opens the door to another realm.

Other than his narrative, Motion succeeds in entrancing his readers and building upon Stevenson's original work. Well worth a read if you hunger after simpler times where friend and foe fought side by side on the high-seas and crossed paths with the denizens of the New World in the American hinterlands.… (altro)
