Beschreibung

In "Maruja," Bret Harte weaves a vibrant tapestry of life in the American West, capturing the essence of its rugged terrain and the complex web of human relationships that thrive within it. Through Harte's masterful storytelling and rich descriptions, the reader is drawn into a world where characters are not merely products of their environment but are also shaped by their desires, aspirations, and moral dilemmas. The novel unfolds with a blend of realism and romanticism, characteristic of Harte's literary style, reflecting the social dynamics and cultural tensions of post-Gold Rush California. Bret Harte, an influential figure in American literature, was a keen observer of frontier life. His experiences as a journalist and storyteller in the California mining camps deeply informed his writing, infusing it with authenticity and a profound understanding of the human condition. Harte's keen interest in the marginalized voices of society shines through in "Maruja," allowing readers to glimpse the often-overlooked perspectives of women and indigenous populations, an aspect reflective of his broader social consciousness. Readers seeking a nuanced exploration of character and place will find "Maruja" a compelling journey that intertwines the beauty and adversity of life in the West. Harte's incisive prose and empathetic characterizations offer timeless themes that resonate with contemporary audiences, making this work essential for anyone interested in the evolution of American literature and the complexities of human experience.

    This novel by Maylis Besserie, the first of her Irish trilogy, shows us Samuel Beckett at the end of his life in 1989, living in Le Tiers-Temps retirement home. It is as if Beckett has come to live in one of his own stage productions, peopled with strange, unhinged individuals, waiting for the end of days.
    Yell, Sam, If You Still Can is filled with voices. From diary notes to clinical reports to daily menus, cool medical voices provide a counterpoint to Beckett himself, who reflects on his increasingly fragile existence. He remains playful, rueful, and aware of the dramatic irony that has brought him to live in the room next door to Winnie, surrounded by grotesques like Hamm or Lucky, abandoned by his wife Suzanne who died before him.
    Besserie delights in Beckett's bilingualism and plays back and forth between the francophone and anglophone properties of language, summoning James Joyce as Beckett reminisces about evenings the two spent together singing, talking and drinking. Largely written in the library of the Centre Culturel Irlandais, Besserie has kept the hum of Irish voices throughout this work.
    Yell, Sam, If You Still Can won the "Goncourt du premier roman", the prestigious French literary prize for first time novelists, just before the country went into lockdown. Besserie is now planning a further two novels that will explore the links between Ireland and France and is touted as the new star of the French literary world.
