The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz
Autor Russell Hobanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 mai 2015
Russell Hoban's first novel for adults, "The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz" (1973) was widely acclaimed by critics and earned comparisons to Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Both a humorous and light-hearted fantasy and an insightful meditation on the sometimes difficult relationships between fathers and sons, it is a perfect introduction to the work of this brilliant writer.
'A piece of invention as original as any of Tolkien's or C.S. Lewis's.' - "New Statesman"
'Magic at work ... Funny as well as beautiful.' - "Irish Times"
'Mr. Hoban is unclassifiable, thank goodness. His narrative is so minutely and compellingly realistic that after a time you cease to notice that he has stood reality on its head.' - "Sunday Times"
'Of outstanding quality ... unusually vivid imagination ... immensely striking use of words.' - Auberon Waugh, "The Spectator"

Notă biografică
On
his
death
in
2011,The
TimesdescribedRussell
Hobanas
'perhaps
the
most
consistently
strange
writer
of
the
late
20th
century'.
He
thought
and
wrote
in
an
extraordinary
range
of
genres,
becoming
first
a
bestselling
writer
of
children's
books,
particularly
the
immortalFrancesstories
and
his
first
novel,The
Mouse
and
His
Child(1968).
After
its
publication
he
continued
to
write
for
children
(most
notably
perhaps
theCaptain
Najorkbooks
with
Quentin
Blake
andThe
Marzipan
Pig),
but
focussed
most
of
his
energies
on
a
sequence
of
wonderful
novels,
which
began
withThe
Lion
of
Boaz-Jachin
and
Jachin-Boaz(1973)
and
ended
withAngelica
Lost
and
Found(2010).
He
also
wrote
the
libretto
for
Harrison
Birtwistle's
operaThe
Second
Mrs
Kong(1994).
His novels were wildly various, but share his obsession with objects, animals, specific works of art and pieces of music, his love of words and sense of humour. Penguin Modern Classics publishes his first eight novels:The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz,Kleinzeit,Turtle Diary,Riddley Walker,Pilgermann,The Medusa Frequency,FremderandMr Rinyo-Clacton's Offer.

Recenzii
Magic
at
work
...
Funny
as
well
as
beautiful.
Amazingly, the mythology is sustained in totally modern terms, desolate, comic and urban.
A piece of invention as original as any of Tolkien's or C.S. Lewis's.
Worth rejoicing in ... a banquet of whimsical delights. Each Russell Hoban book is surprising ... but you also know what you're getting, which is curiosity, wonder and a world-encompassing empathy.
Mr. Hoban is unclassifiable, thank goodness. His narrative is so minutely and compellingly realistic that after a time you cease to notice that he has stood reality on its head.
