A remarkable book that is able to translate the author’s message and purpose in a new language for a new audience to enjoy. ( ) Kiinnostuin kirjasta kiittävän arvion perusteella, mutta en pitänyt siitä yhtään. Ymmärrän, miksi kirjan etukanteen oli pyydetty suosittelijaksi John Irving, sillä hyvällä tahdolla kirjan tyylissä ja juonenkuljetuksessa saattaa nähdä muistumia John Irvingin tuotannosta. Tätä kirjaa lukiessani kuitenkin vain ikävystyin, en vaikuttunut. Verhaal van een man die terugkijkt op zijn leven (hij loopt tegen de 50), hij heeft een broer en een zus, Marty en Liz. Hun ouders komen om bij een auto-ongeluk als de ik, Jules, 11 jaar oud is. De kinderen worden naar een internaat gestuurd. Daar ontmoet Marty Toni, dat wordt een levenslange vriend en Jules Alva, zijn grote liefde. Alva en Jules verliezen elkaar uit het oog maar komen elkaar later weer tegen als Alva met een veel ouder man getrouwd is. Ze krijgen een wat merkwaardige 3hoeksverhouding. De man, Alexander heeft Alzheimer en sterft, Alva en Jules trouwen, krijgen een tweeling, dan krijgt Alva kanker en overlijdt ook. Verder beschrijft Jules zijn leven en dat van zijn broer, zus en vriend Marty. Heel intens, heel mooi. Jules und seine beiden Geschwister wachsen behütet auf, bis ihre Eltern bei einem Unfall ums Leben kommen. Als Erwachsene glauben sie, diesen Schicksalsschlag überwunden zu haben. Doch dann holt sie die Vergangenheit wieder ein. Ein berührender Roman über das Überwinden von Verlust und Einsamkeit und über die Frage, was in einem Menschen unveränderlich ist. Und vor allem: eine große Liebesgeschichte. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"From internationally bestselling author Benedict Wells, a sweeping, heartbreaking novel of friendship, memory, and the lives we never get to live "[D]azzling storytelling...The End of Loneliness is both affecting and accomplished -- and eternal."--John Irving At eleven years old, Jules Moreau loses his parents in a tragic accident, and in an instant, his childhood is shattered. Leaving a comfortable home in Munich and holidays in the south of France far behind, he and his siblings, Marty and Liz, are enrolled in a bleak boarding school, where the trio begin to lose each other, as well as themselves. Marty throws himself into academic life; Liz is drawn to dark forms of escapism; and Jules, though once vivacious and fearless, turns inward, becoming a ghost of his former self...until he meets Alva. Shy, intelligent, and enigmatic, and concealing a dark childhood of her own, Alva pulls Jules out of his shell and the two bond over books and writing, always with an unspoken understanding of the other's pain. Eight years later, at the precipice of their friendship becoming more, Alva abruptly turns her back, and the two leave school on separate paths. As they enter adulthood, Jules, Marty, and Liz, still strangers to one another, struggle to contend with who they are becoming. Jules is adrift, growing into a directionless young man, anchored only by two desires: to be a writer, and to have Alva back in his life. It isn't until Liz hits rock bottom that the three siblings finally find their footing as a family, and Jules finds the nerve to reach out to Alva -- fifteen years after they last spoke. Invited by Alva to join her and her husband, an esteemed author, at their home in Switzerland, Jules finds his way back to his own writing, and to his closest friend. As life begins to fall into place, just as it seems that they can make amends for time wasted, the past catches up with them, and fate -- or chance -- once again intervenes. A kaleidoscopic and heartfelt family saga, as well as a deeply felt meditation on the power of memory, The End of Loneliness explores the invisible forces and currents that can change our lives in an instant, and asks us all to consider, If you spend all your life running in the wrong direction, could it be the right one after all?"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
