Gregor ha inventado y descubierto todo lo que va a ser útil durante los próximos siglos: la transferencia inalámbrica de energía eléctrica mediante ondas electromagnéticas, la corriente alterna, la bombilla sin filamento y la radio, entre otras cosas. Pero, ¡ay!, tiene dificultades con sus asuntos personales, quizá porque la ciencia le interesa mucho más que el beneficio. Aprovechándose de este rasgo de su carácter, otros científicos acabarán robándoselo todo. Y a Gregor, como única distracción, y ocupación, sólo le quedará la compañía de los relámpagos y el teatro de los pájaros. Aunque basada en la vida del ingeniero Nikola Tesla, Relámpagos es una ficción sin pretensiones biográficas con la que el autor, tras Ravel y Correr, cierra su espléndida serie sobre tres vidas. > Jean Echenoz : DES ÉCLAIRS (Minuit, Paris, 2010,174 p. ; 26,95 $) Se reporter au compte rendu de Hélène GAUDREAU In: (2011).

Terse and yet as frenetic as the currents of Tesla's imagination with all the luminous contradictions.This is a stunning portrait of a harvester of nature, yet one shipwrecked on a human mound which was nearly incomprehensible. Tactile and oblivious--Tesla floundered and flourished in turns until fate shoved him aside and just before he initiated negotiations with the Martians. This is a screaming quick novel, punctuated, oh-so-strangely by a reflection on the nature of pigeons. Geroko mendeetan baliagarri izango den guztia asmatu du Gregorrek. Zoritxarrez, ex da hain abila bere negozioak zaintzerakoan; zientziak axola gehiago dio etekinak baino. Beste batzuek, izaerabereizgarri horri onura atereaz, dena lapurtu nahi diote. Atsegin hartzako eta lanerako, ez zaizkio geratuko tximisten laguntza eta txorien antzarkia baino. Een droogkomische biografische schets van Nikola Tesla, hier Gregor (niet helemaal duidelijk waarom Echenoz het niet bij Nikola liet - een verwijzing naar Kafka misschien?) In vogelvlucht, en met veel afgesneden bochten doet Echenoz het verhaal van de belangrijkste gebeurtenissen, uitvindingen, beweringen en mislukkingen. Vermakelijk en een wondermooie cover, maar iets te panoramisch om echt te boeien. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Drawn from the life of Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest inventors of his time, Lightning is a captivating tale of one man's curious fascination with the marvels of science. Hailed by the Washington Post as "the most distinctive voice of his generation," Echenoz traces the notable career of Gregor, a precocious young engineer from Eastern Europe, who travels across the Atlantic at the age of twenty-eight to work alongside Thomas Edison, with whom he later holds a long-lasting rivalry. After his discovery of alternating current, Gregor quickly begins to astound the world with his other brilliant inventions, including everything from radio, radar, and wireless communication to cellular technology, remote control, and the electron microscope. Echenoz gradually reveals the eccentric inner world of a solitary man who holds a rare gift for imagining devices well before they come into existence. Gregor is a recluse--an odd and enigmatic intellect who avoids women and instead prefers spending hours a day courting pigeons in Central Park. Winner of the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, Echenoz once again demonstrates his astonishing abilities as a prose stylist as he vividly captures the life of an isolated genius. A beautifully crafted portrait of a man who prefers the company of lightning in the Colorado desert to that of other human beings, Lightning is a dazzling new work from one of the world's leading contemporary authors.
