It is a story and it is poetic. A story of an old man, his son, his son's girlfriend. I read somewhere that this is the book that the author would like to be remembered by. It is at heart a story humans searching, but it is also a bit too erotic for me. ( ) Como sempre ouvi falar de Amos Oz como um escritor político, achei curioso começar a lê-lo por um livro tão introspectivo e poético. O Mesmo Mar conta as histórias de um homem, Albert Danon, que acaba de ficar viúvo; de seu filho, Rico, que viaja ao Tibet; de Dita, namorada de Rico, que vai viver com Albert após cair em um golpe, de várias pessoas cujas vidas se entrelaçam - o próprio narrador, que se confunde com o autor, aparece no livro mais de uma vez, para tomar chá com Albert ou ser repreendido por Dita. A história do livro é a história dessas relações, contadas em curtos capítulos escritos em versos. Interessante e bem escrito. no reviews | add a review
The Same Sea is Amos Oz's most adventurous and inventive book, a novel of lyrical beauty and narrative power and the book by which he would like to be remembered. We meet the middle-aged Albert; his wife, whom he has lost to cancer; his prodigal son, who wanders the mountains of Tibet hoping to find himself; and his son's enticing young girlfriend, with whom Albert becomes infatuated and who in turn sleeps with her boyfriend's close friend. In this human profusion is a fever dream of chaos and order, love and eroticism, loyalty and betrayal, and ultimately an extraordinary energy. No library descriptions found. |
