Der verbannte Unsterbliche

by: Ha Jin
release date: Feb 02, 2023
Der verbannte Unsterbliche
Ein »verbannter Unsterblicher« wurde Li Bai (701–762) schon zu Lebzeiten genannt: In der offiziellen chinesischen Literatur kaum gewürdigt, erlangten seine Gedichte, die von daoistischem Gedankengut geprägt sind und sich durch Leidenschaft und Lebenslust auszeichnen, bereits in der gesamten Tang-Dynastie über die Rezitationen von Hofunterhaltern, Tavernensängern, Soldaten und Schriftstellern großen Ruhm und landesweite Verbreitung. Noch heute werden seine von tiefer Sehnsucht nach einer höheren, vollkommeneren Welt geprägten Verse chinesischen Schulkindern beigebracht und bei Festen als Trinksprüche aufgesagt; längst sind sie untrennbarer Teil der chinesischen Sprache. Doch wer war dieser Jahrtausenddichter? Mit seinem Gespür eines meisterhaften Romanciers gelingt es Ha Jin, aus den uns überlieferten historischen und literarischen Quellen die Lebensgeschichte des großen Dichters als ein Porträt seiner Zeit zu erzählen. Er folgt Li Bai von seiner Kindheit an der westlichen Grenze bis hin zu seinen Wanderungen als junger Mann, die von Strebsamkeit, aber auch von fröhlicher Unbekümmertheit und lustvollen Ausschweifungen geprägt waren. Er folgt dem Dichter durch seine späten Jahre, in denen er in eine umwälzende militärische Rebellion verwickelt wurde, die den Lauf der chinesischen Geschichte veränderte – und erzählt von den mysteriösen und von Legenden umrankten Umständen seines Todes.

Looking for Tank Man
A Harvard student from China discovers the fraught, hidden history of the Tiananmen Square massacre in this powerful novel of protest and suppression from the National Book Award–winning author. When the Chinese premier visits Harvard, international student Pei Lulu encounters a lone protester, who will drastically change her understanding of the People''s Republic and her own place in the world. For the first time, Lulu learns of the 1989 protest movement and the government’s violent response. Determined to find out more, she seeks answers from her family, who share surprising stories of their involvement, and from a formative university course based on powerful firsthand accounts. At once a compelling coming-of-age tale and a poignant tribute to the courage of activists, Looking for Tank Man keeps this tragedy alive in the public memory and warns against the dangers of authoritarian regimes.

La longue attente
Médecin militaire à l''hôpital de Muji en Mandchourie, Lin Kong est tiraillé entre deux femmes incarnant deux mondes diamétralement opposés : Shuyu, l''épouse que ses parents lui ont choisie jadis, une humble paysanne aux pieds bandés qui tient sa maison et élève leur fille dans son village natal, et Manna Wu, une jeune collègue infirmière éduquée et moderne qui lui inspire un amour passionnel. Mais il doit réprimer les élans de son cœur, puisque le respect des traditions lui impose de préserver son mariage sans amour et qu''un adultère découvert par les cadres du Parti briserait sa carrière. En conscience, il décide finalement d''aller demander le divorce à son épouse à l''occasion de sa permission estivale. Pendant dix-sept longues années, à chaque retour au village, Lin Kong renouvellera en vain sa demande... Avec pour toile de fond, de 1966 à 1983, une Chine attachée à ses traditions séculaires autant qu''opprimée par la bureaucratie communiste, La Longue Attente explore par touches délicates les affres des amours contrariées face à l''impitoyable marche du temps.

La liberté de vivre
Nan Wu, venu aux États-Unis pour préparer un doctorat avant de rentrer en Chine enseigner, voit ses projets bouleversés par la répression de Tian’anmen. Résolu à ce que son fils grandisse loin de son pays natal et de sa violence endémique, Nan abandonne ses études et fait venir auprès de lui femme et enfant. À force de sacrifices et d’efforts, il parvient à racheter un restaurant et une maison, mais cette apparente réussite sociale ne le guérit pas de ses deux blessures fondamentales : l’absence de passion pour son épouse et ses ambitions de poète, qui cèdent régulièrement devant les contraintes professionnelles et sociales qu’il s’impose par peur du lendemain. Cinquième roman de Ha Jin, La Liberté de vivre est le premier à se dérouler hors de Chine. On y retrouve sa profonde humanité et son style épuré, qui sert aussi bien les descriptions pastorales que le récit détaillé des vicissitudes d’une vie à la fois banale dans son quotidien et exceptionnelle dans son parcours. On y découvre en outre une critique acerbe des deux modèles sociaux entre lesquels est déchiré le héros et une série de vignettes attachantes qui s’assemblent en une fresque épique où la nostalgie le dispute à l’énergie créatrice. Cette mosaïque de lieux et de personnages compose le grand roman qui restait à écrire sur la vie quotidienne des Sino-Américains.

O ensandecido
Perto de seu exame de admissão ao doutorado em literatura na Universidade de Pequim, o jovem Jian Wan é escalado pelo Partido Comunista para acompanhar o professor Yang, seu orientador, durante o período de recuperação depois de um derrame. No leito do hospital, o professor delira e faz revelações que, aos olhos de Jian - futuro genro e aluno predileto do mestre -, compõem um retrato da situação política e cultural da China contemporânea. Aos poucos, a trama ultrapassa o delírio e vai se conectando à realidade. AS alucinações do professor rompem a censura imposta pelo regime, revelando o sentido profundo do que acontece na sociedade chinesa pós-Revolução Cultural, em que os indivíduos têm sua vida privada e pública devassadas pelo Estado. Nascidas de meditações e recordações emocionadas, as falas do professor mostram para Jian uma nova faceta da vida. NEste romance desconcertante, Ha Jin expõe as engrenagens da ditadura chinesa, mas também aponta um possível escape para os que vivem sob as amarras do totalitarismo.

A espera
Lin Kong é um médico na China da década de 1960. TOdo ano ele volta à aldeia de Ganso para tentar se divorciar da mulher, Shuyu, e assim ficar disponível para se casar com Manna Wu, jovem enfermeira do hospital onde trabalha. DUrante dezoito anos, Lin Kong tenta em vão: na última hora, sua mulher sempre desiste de lhe conceder a separação. DUrante dezoito anos, ele e Manna Wu mantêm um relacionamento sem contato corporal - e é durante essa espera que transcorre a maior parte do romance. LEal ao extremo, feia, pés atados, Shuyu - com quem o médico se casou por arranjo entre famílias - encarna a China rural, arcaica; arrasta consigo um tipo de vida tacanha de que Lin Kong quer se livrar. MAnna Wu, por sua vez, representa a China urbana e a possibilidade (que ele julgava descartada) de conhecer o amor.O Medo da solidão, as armadilhas da honestidade, a fragilidade dos vínculos familiares, a força da internalização das normas sociais e a inexistência de privacidade numa sociedade vigiada são temas explorados com rara sensibilidade por Ha Jin - um chinês que, escrevendo em inglês, obteve uma das honrarias literárias mais prestigiosas dos Estados Unidos: o National Book Award.
