Insightful depiction of an obsessive love in a competitive set of medical doctors in Israel. ( ) Per il giovane medico israeliano Benji Rubin, il viaggio in India con il direttore amministrativo del suo ospedale e con la moglie di lui, rappresenta forse un'occasione che aprirà nuove strade alla sua carriera di aspirante chirurgo. Ma all'India Benji torna con un amore impossibile che sconvolgerà la sua vita: quello per una donna appena più giovane di sua madre, sposata, neppure troppo avvenente, la cui sua unica virtù sembra essere un enigmatico sorriso. All'inizio il giovane medico sembra innamorato più che di una donna in carne ed ossa, del mistero di quell'amore. Quello che lo attende è un lungo viaggio nella geografia di sentimenti e passioni che sembrano sfuggire ad ogni ragionevole tentativo di interpretazione.

"Seductively heady . . . Ingeniously explores the unfathomable mysteries of the heart." --Philadelphia Inquirer A young Israeli intern vying for the position of surgeon learns that his internship has been terminated and he has been chosen to accompany the hospital administrator and his wife on a trip to India. There, the couple intend to retrieve their ailing daughter and bring her back to Israel. The long journey awakens urges in the young doctor that will threaten his carefully contained world. Juxtaposing Western realism and Eastern mysticism, Open Heart is an "astonishing work about love in all its forms. [One that] speaks across the barriers of translation and culture to readers everywhere" (Washington Post Book World). "At times incantatory and magical, sometimes disturbing, and often astonishing . . . Entertains the mind while it captivates the soul." --Seattle Times "Mind-expanding and poetic, a book that will stay with you long after you have turned its final page." --New York Times Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
