Relation Concering Books Billeder af sand

Andre Brink has had a long career as a South African novelist, one that has provided him a forum for voicing his opposition to apartheid. Imaginings of Sand depicts the country as it makes the transition to democracy, just as Kristien Muller returns from self-imposed exile to the bedside of her dying grandmother, Ouma Kristina. At age 103 matriarchal Ouma is a fountain of family history and white South African legend, and to her grandaughter she passes on tales--magically unreal at times--that link the oppression suffered by women and blacks. While immersed in these fables of memory and emotion, Kristien must also deal with the current reality: a hostile family and authorities discomfited by the impending transition of power.

Piece Of Books Billeder af sand

Paras kirja lempikirjailijaltani André Brinkiltä. Sopivasti maagisuutta ja luontoyhteyttä; erilaisia suhteita; yhteiskunnallista kuvausta ja sujuvaa kerrontaa.

I found myself skipping over paragraphs almost from the beginning which is never a good sign. I thought the author made far too much out of the fact that the protagonist is good looking: first the two men groping her on the airplane, then her brother-in-law hitting on her, then her own sister admiring her in the bath. 80 pages into the book, I'm still finding it difficult to relate to or enjoy the characters who have been introduced. Finally, while I thought it was ambitious to tackle themes of

Premesso che l'unica conoscenza che ho della storia del Sudafrica è che zio Paperone incontra Cuoredipietra Famedoro ai tempi della Grande Marcia, questo libro colma molte lacune, in maniera romanzata, e sono grata di questo.Inizialmente è difficile stare dietro al romanzo, il narratore femminile scritto da mano maschile si abbandona a cliché, ma poi i personaggi si evolvono e anche la voce che racconta, diventa più femminile? Sono subentrati i consigli della moglie di Brink, che nella nota

So André Brink has died. I arranged a workshop with him in Stavanger in the nineites, and I dared to compare his landscape wirting to Wilbur Smith's. I shouldn't have done that. For most people Brink's most important book was Dry White Season, but for me none of them beat Imaginings of Sand. I consider it one of the five best books I've ever read. RIP, André.

La Casa degli UccelliUna bella sorpresa questo libro, acquistato talmente tanti anni fa che ho dimenticato il motivo della scelta, rivelatasi tuttavia fortunata.Lelemento principale della riuscita del romanzo risiede, a mio parere, nella precisa alchimia con cui lautore ha saputo fondere i due ben diversi registri che lo compongono, senza mai (o quasi) dare limpressione dellartificio o della forzatura e nella pressoché totale assenza di retorica, vizio sempre in agguato in operazioni di questo



Első könyvem, ami Dél Afrikában játszódik. Sok mesemotívum, de mégis érdekes és magával sodró történet!
