Gone: A Heartbreaking Story of the Civil War: A… door Shelby Foote

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.

Dit boek gaat over de schoonheid van verval - zeker voor bewoners van het oude kontinent die geen emotionele band hebben met de Civil War -. Schoonheid die - weliswaar niet door iedereen gesmaakt of te smaken - ook terug te vinden is in de gezichten van oude mensen, in de armoede in de straten en steegjes in steden op retour, in uitgeleefde boerderijtjes met verroest alaam, in overwoekerde tuinen waar schaduwrijke hoogstam lang vervlogen zomeravonden vol muggengezoen oproept, op sepia foto's die het harde leven van onze voorouders een verdoezelend nostalgies tintje geven...in het het spookhuis aan de Poeldijk in Sas-van-Gent. Genieten van verval heeft te maken met de gave en de wil in het verleden in te stappen, in verweerdheid de levenslijnen te ontdekken, je ongeremd - niet ongestaafd - te verliezen in wat ooit was en zonder wat wij, onze wereld, onze gedachten en visies nooit hun aktuele vorm gevonden zouden hebben.… (meer)
