The Parade
Autor David Eggersen Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 18 mar 2019
'Tightly written, carefully designed to wrong-foot preconceptions, and astute . . . An intensely gripping story'Evening Standard
An unnamed country is leaving the darkness of a decade at war, and to commemorate the armistice the government commissions a new road connecting two halves of the state.
Two men, foreign contractors from the same company, are sent to finish the highway. While one is flighty and adventurous, wanting to experience the nightlife and people, the other wants only to do the work and go home. But both men must eventually face the absurdities of their positions, and the dire consequences of their presence.
With echoes of J. M. Coetzee and Graham Greene, this timeless novel questions whether we can ever understand another nation's war, and what role we have in forging anyone's peace.
'Certainly his best book sinceWhat is the What...The sound of a major writer finding his mature voice'Spectator

story
Certainly his best book sinceWhat is the What,The Parademay well be the sound of a major writer finding his mature voice
A parable of progress, as told by J.M. Coetzee to Philip K. Dick
The Paradeis a heartbreaker and a mindbender.It is a novel of ideas that packs an emotional punch that left me reeling. With clear, unadorned prose, Eggers lays bare the costs of war, and of peace
A readable, atmospheric book
This is a tale for our time, an allegory about intervening in foreign lands without knowledge, and so a nightmare vision of our endless wars.
InThe Parade, the anxiety grows with every page and every mile to reach an ending that turns everything upside down and sends us into the heart of darkness. A minimalistic, merciless novel. A powerful allegory and a painfully concrete contemporary story-Eggers is a true virtuoso of that synthesis.
Wide-ranging and thoughtful engagement with concepts of power and inequality and whether Western notions of what constitutes 'progress' are always right
It partakes of a complex of anxieties about America's role as an affluent superpower of dubious virtue
Egger's commitment to social and political issues continues
