Adama de Lavie Tidhar

Adama

Autor Lavie Tidhar
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 sep 2023
THERE IS NO LAND WITHOUT BLOOD, AND I WATER THIS LAND WITH THE BLOOD OF MY MEN.Ruth's family were in Budapest when the Nazis came.Now Ruth is in Palestine, amid the bare hills inland from Haifa, breaking the rocky soil of an unyielding land before it breaks her.With her comrades, her fellow kibbutzniks, she will build a better world. There will be green grass, orange trees and pomegranates, a land that is their own and no one else's.So they till their fields, dig their wells, build their homes and forge a new way of living, fiercely proud of their shared pursuit of a dream.But as one generation begets another, the dream unravels, twisted into a dark tapestry of secrets and lies; sacrificed for revenge, forbidden love and murder.A sweeping historical epic following four generations of a single family as they struggle to hold on to their land and each other.'Tidhar [is] fast emerging as the leader of a new wave of Israeli literature' Daily Mail'Adama is an unstoppable masterpiece... If history is a nightmare we're all trying to wake up from, then Adama is a trumpet blast that rings out the past and into the future' Junot Díaz'As a study of biblical comeuppance, the land and the blood have the last say. I recommend Adama as an instructive primer for today's generation of Israeli politicians. There are, indeed, lessons to be learned' Jewish Chronicle'Word by word I was drawn deeper and deeper into this incredible book - a story of inheritance, loss, longing and what could have been. Lavie Tidhar's prose is beautiful, his characters lacerating and heartbreaking by turns. I loved it.' Catriona Ward

The second contemporary literary novel from the celebrated author of fantasy and science fiction. Will be in the same vein as the hugely well-received MAROR.

Recenzii

ADAMA is an unstoppable masterpiece ... Tidhar is a magician, a time-traveler, a historian, a comedian, a raconteur, a subversive, a truth teller and also one of the finest writers around. If history is a nightmare we're all trying to wake up from, then ADAMA is a trumpet blast that rings out the past and into the future.
Word by word I was drawn deeper and deeper into this incredible book - a story of inheritance, loss, longing and what could have been. Lavie Tidhar's prose is beautiful, his characters lacerating and heartbreaking by turns. I loved it.
A brutal but compassionate and compelling view of the compromises required to sustain a nation
This violent, shadowy history of a kibbutz family makes for a propulsive, decades-spanning noir saga. I couldn't put it down.
The prolific Tidhar [is] fast emerging as the leader of a new wave of Israeli literature, thanks to his risky, exhilarating experiments with tone and genre... Tidhar's imagination is both Old Testament through and through, and sick with a 21st-century disenchantment
A brilliantly unsentimental portrayal, full of moral murkiness and tarnished hopes, with small, half-glimpsed bursts of joy
As a study of biblical comeuppance, the land and the blood have the last say. I recommend Adama as an instructive primer for today's generation of Israeli politicians. There are, indeed, lessons to be learned
PRAISE FOR MAROR: 'A sprawling epic set across four decades, and an audacious account of the underbelly of nation-building... Spectacular... Fascinating... Astonishing... Maror is a masterpiece of the sacred and the profane... Tidhar has achieved a literary triumph' Jake Arnott, Guardian. 'Some write in ink, others in song, Tidhar writes in fire... Maror is a kaleidoscopic masterpiece, immense in its sympathies, alarming in its irreverences and altogether exhilarating' Junot Díaz. 'Maror blends the page-turning wit of a hard-boiled detective noir with the stirring intrigue of a multi-national political epic. An ambitious achievement that weaves a tapestry of both story and statement' Kevin Jared Hosein. 'Radiant with [...] the richly nuanced complexity and style of Marlon James' A Brief History of Seven Killings... Will catch your breath as it presents the history of Israel from unique points of view, with dazzling multi-generational scope'
A Times 'best historical fiction novel' for 2023': A novel of immense power
