La Solitude du docteur March

release date: Nov 08, 2012
La Solitude du docteur March
Dans le Massachusetts, à Concord, un homme quitte femme et enfants pour s''engager auprès des nordistes. Un père aimant, mari fidèle et abolitionniste convaincu : le docteur March. Enrôlé comme aumônier, March va bientôt voir ses certitudes ébranler par les atrocités commises sur le champ de bataille. Mais rien n''aurait pu le préparer à retrouver celle qu''il n''a jamais pu oublier : la belle et douce Grace, une esclave rencontrée vingt ans plus tôt... Entre attirance tragique et culpabilité dévorante, engagements humanistes et devoirs familiaux, lynchages publics et mise à sac de plantations, March va devoir affronter des épreuves qui le changeront à jamais. Seul face à lui-même, sur une terre où s''effacent les frontières entre le bien et le mal...

I custodi del libro
È la primavera del 1996 a Sarajevo e Hanna Heath, trentenne restauratrice australiana di manoscritti e libri antichi, giunge nella capitale bosniaca devastata da cinque anni di guerra civile e ancora sotto il fuoco dei cecchini. Deve restaurare la Haggadah di Sarajevo, un manoscritto ebraico prodotto in Spagna in età medievale e ricco di inusuali e variopinte miniature; un''opera preziosa e fondamentale nella storia dell''ebraismo, che fu salvata dal bibliotecario musulmano del Museo di Sarajevo quando, negli anni Quaranta, i nazisti e i famigerati reparti della Mano Nera cercarono di impadronirsene. È dalla voce di Hanna che apprendiamo la magnifica storia del libro, una vicenda fatta di macchie di vino e di sangue, di splendidi fermagli smarriti, di farfalle di montagna, di storie d''amore e di vigliaccheria, di secoli di splendore e di decadenza, di gloriose città, la Siviglia del 1480, la Tarragona del 1492, la Venezia del 1609, la Vienna del 1894, e di uomini giusti.

Glasul De Taină

release date: Jul 08, 2020
Glasul De Taină
Căzut în dizgrație și urmărit de oamenii regelui Saul, tânărul David, împreună cu un grup de apropiați, jefuiește satele Iudeei. Dacă i se opune rezistență, omoară fără ezitare. Într-o astfel de incursiune, Natan, băiatul care tocmai privise cum tatăl îi este ucis, vorbește cu un glas profetic care nu-i aparține, prorocind ascensiunea lui David la tronul Iudeei. Din acel moment, Natan este nedespărțit de soldatul, regele și poetul David, este confesor, martor și proroc al faptelor de vitejie, al victoriilor și al pierderilor, al nelegiuirilor și al ispășirilor celui care avea să lase posterității o legendă tulburătoare și cei peste o sută cincizeci de psalmi. După o muncă uriașă de documentare, cu o intuiție și o empatie ce transcend mileniile, Geraldine Brooks ne transportă într-o lume de demult pe care o însuflețește și o preschimbă pentru noi din manuscrise moarte într-o realitate vie. „O carte extrem de captivantă... Brooks este o maestră a reînvierii trecutului... Prin abilitatea ei, trecutul trezește în noi ecoul celor mai adânci frământări: dragostea și pierderea, drama și tragedia, haosul și brutalitatea.“ The Washington Post „Glasul de taină – o reconsiderare tulburătoare, dură, distrugătoare a legendei regelui David – constituie o pledoarie magistrală pentru puterea creatoare a repovestirii trecutului... Magia constă în reconstituirea cadrului și a timpului ca scenă a unei drame senzoriale, iar adevărata realizare a lui Geraldine Brooks este aceea că oferă cititorilor posibilitatea să simtă spiritul epocii.“ The New York Times „Cu acuitate senzorială și cu o înțelegere profundă și complexă a stărilor emoționale, Brooks evocă modul în care trăiau oamenii în vremea aceea. Autoarea îl umanizează pe regele David și, cu inteligență, adaugă o perspectivă modernă felului în care îl receptăm. Viziunea ei asupra universului biblic este fascinantă.“ The Boston Globe

"A discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton in an attic, and the greatest racehorse in American history: from these strands, a Pulitzer Prize winner braids a sweeping story of spirit, obsession, and injustice across American history. Kentucky, 1850. Jarrett, an enslaved groom, and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. As the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name painting the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack. New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for taking risks on edgy contemporary painters, becomes obsessed with a 19th century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance. Washington, DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly drawn to one another through their shared interest in the horse--one studying the stallion''s bones for clues to his power and endurance, the other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success. Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred, Lexington, who became America''s greatest stud sire, Horse is a gripping, multi-layered reckoning with the legacy of enslavement and racism in America." -- Also available is accessible formats via CELA.
