Attraversando terre coperte da una nebbia sottile che confonde e cancella i ricordi, Axl e Beatrice viaggiano alla ricerca del figlio. Nel paese dei britanni e dei sassoni, dove regna ormai da tempo la pace imposta da re Artù, l'uomo e la donna incontrano creature fantastiche, assistono a prodigi e sfuggono a pericoli mortali. La strada li porterà lontano, là dove li attende la prova più grande: saggiare la purezza del proprio cuore.
Fantasy and historical fiction and myth here run together with the Matter of Britain, in a novel that’s easy to admire, to respect and to enjoy, but difficult to love. Still, “The Buried Giant” does what important books do: It remains in the mind long after it has been read, refusing to leave, forcing one to turn it over and over. On a second reading, and on a third, its characters and events and motives are easier to understand, but even so, it guards its secrets and its world close. There are authors who write in tidy, classifiable, immediately recognizable genres — Jane Austen, Alexandre Dumas, William Faulkner, Gabriel García Márquez, to name a few — and then there are those who adamantly do not. These others can surprise us with story lines and settings that are guises to be worn and shucked after the telling. Masters of reinvention, they slip from era to era, land to land, changing idioms, adapting styles, heedless of labels. They are creatures of a nonsectarian world, comfortable in many skins, channelers of languages. What interests them above all in their invented universes is the abiding human heart. Kazuo Ishiguro is such a writer. Premi e riconoscimentiMenzioniElenchi di rilievo
"An extraordinary new novel from the author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize winning The Remains of the Day. "You've long set your heart against it, Axl, I know. But it's time now to think on it anew. There's a journey we must go on, and no more delay. . ." The Buried Giant begins as a couple set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen in years. Sometimes savage, often intensely moving, Kazuo Ishiguro's first novel in a decade is about lost memories, love, revenge and war"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
