Disappointing despite the generally positive reviews I've seen. Takes place over the course of a summer in the 1950s, on an island off the Naples coast. A 16-year-old's questions about Italy's involvement in World War Two. Said one reviewer, "In beautifully written prose, this short, unsentimental novel evokes the sensibility of adolescence, the discovery of love, and questions of guilt and survival." Uh...okay. Neither the prose--which was perfectly adequate--nor the plot did much for me. I think that it could have been better in other hands.... The promise is there but de Luca didn't deliver. ( ) (Come inizia:) " Il pesce è pesce quando sta nella barca. E' sbagliato gridare che l'hai preso quando ha solo abboccato e senti il suo peso ballare nella mano che regge la lenza. Il pesce è pesce solo quando è a bordo. Devi tiralo all'aria dal fondo con presa dolce e regolare, svelta e senza strappi. Altrimenti lo perdi..." “Avevo fatto la punta all’orecchio per sentire la frequenza della sua voce, l’avrei sentita anche in una burrasca.”Erri De Luca, come al solito, ha ‘fatto la punta’ anche alla propria umana, umanissima sensibilità e alla propria non comune perizia stilistica per regalarci la storia di un amore giovanile che non è soltanto una storia d’amore, ma il vivido spaccato di un’epoca con le sue meraviglie e i suoi orrori. Molto bello e intenso. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The unnamed narrator of this slim, alluring novel recalls a summer spent at age sixteen on an idyllic Italian island off the coast of Naples in the 1950s, where he spends his days with Nicola, a local fisherman. The narrator falls in love with Caia, who shares with him that she's Jewish, saved by Italian soldiers from the Nazis, who killed the rest of her Yugoslav family. The boy demands answers about the war from the adults around him, but is rebuffed by everyone but Nicola, who tells him of Italy's complicity with the Nazis. His passion for Caia and his ardent patriotism lead him to a flamboyant, cataclysmic act of destruction that brings his tale to an end. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
