When the world is still counting the cost of the Second World War and the Iron Curtain has descended, young Roland Baines's life is turned upside down. He is two thousand miles from his mother's protective love, stranded at an unusual boarding school, when his vulnerability attracts his piano teacher, Miriam Cornell, leaving scars as well as a memory of love that will never fade. Twenty-five years later, Roland's wife mysteriously vanishes, and he finds himself alone with their baby son. He is forced to confront the reality of his rootless existence. As the radiation from the Chernobyl disaster spreads across Europe, he begins a search for answers that looks deep into his family history and will last for the rest of his life. From the Suez and Cuban Missile crises and the fall of the Berlin Wall to the Covid pandemic and climate change, Roland sometimes rides with the tide of history but more often struggles against it.

Then, in his final years, he finds love again in another form. His journey raises important questions. Can we take full charge of the course of our lives without damage to others? How do global events beyond our control shape our lives and our memories? And what can we learn from the traumas of the past? Epic, mesmerizing, and deeply humane, Lessons is a chronicle for our timesâ??apowerful meditation on history and contingency through the prism of one man's lif Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Se l’inizio di questo lungo romanzo mi è parso a tratti faticoso, da un certo punto in poi - dal momento della caduta del Muro di Berlino - la lettura mi ha avvinto restituendomi esperienze e sensazioni che riflettono il vissuto di un’intera generazione. È un viaggio che termina con in giorni della pandemia.
Checché ne pensi l’Accademia di Svezia (e non manca ad un certo punto una frecciatina in questa direzione) MaEwan è un grande e questa volta ha fatto centro come da qualche tempo non accadeva. ( )
