Brott eller inte? Vi följer människorna kring Stella och deras versioner kring vad som hände och deras relationer till Stella. Helt ok. ( ) Another Ullmann book about death, but this death has already happened and the book is about different recostructions of the circumstances of death, but not in the style of a detective (though there is an investigating detective involved). It becaomes the story of a woman subject to everyday but none the less aggressive acts of men, the key point being that they will not leave, and that she is therefore trapped by them. There is an odd surrealism hovering around the edges of the perceptions introduced by the novel, but that never really breaks into the frame, with the effect that the entire novel has a dreamlike quality. The dispassionately presented emotion characteristic of Ullmann's other novels is here developed to the full, without a trace of sentimentality.
Translated from Norwegian, this book consists of five parts, each called `Fall'. Stella's mother, Edith, insists on standing up to give birth, so Stella `falls down through Edith's birth canal, falls into the world, falls into the splendid old midwife's splendid hands -- but with an unearthly scream that bursts the young nurse's eardrum'. Thirty-five years later (and 130 pages earlier), pregnant with her third child, Stella falls from a high roof to her death -- perhaps pushed off by her husband in the course of one of their curious games. Various narrators consider how it happened or tell stories, some of quite obscure relevance; chiefly, Stella's adolescent daughter, the detective investigating the case, who `can tell by the smell of a man whether he has committed a crime', and a senile friend Stella formerly nursed, whose character may be gauged from his words: `I suppose I do have one joy; there is pleasure for me in music. ... Music tells me there are beings beyond this miserable existence who are willing to speak to us. Unborn children, perhaps, who were meant to have a body, a voice, a life, but who came to nothing, aborted or snuffed out at the moment of conception ...' In no way could this book dispel the general supposition of Scandinavian gloom.
On a warm summer night in Oslo, Martin draws Stella into one of the risky games that have defined their ten years together: a balancing act on the edge of their rooftop, seven stories up. Amid the shouts of horrified onlookers, Stella stumbles, falling for a moment into Martin's arms before plummeting to her death. (Did he try to save her?) So begins Linn Ullmann's transfixing tale of a jealous wife, compliant mistress, treasured friend, angelic nurse, unloved daughter, devoted mother - and finally, a woman possessed of a secret now forever lost to the living. As Stella's life unfolds in the recollections of those she has left beind, we observe the fabric of many unravelling lives. And as Stella herself bears witness from a place beyond death, we come to understand how precarious her life was behind its facade of loveliness and order. With a quiet power, STELLA DESCENDING gives us the backlit dailiness - and the dark metaphysical underworld - of life in a fabled metropolis. And in brilliantly evoking the loneliness that haunts all our intimacies, it becomes a fable of life everywhere. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
