Turtle Diary: Penguin Modern Classics
Autor Russell Hobanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mar 2021
Born to swim thousands of miles in the ocean, the giant sea turtles are now trapped in a tank of golden-green water at London Zoo. But not for much longer. Two lonely people, a bookseller and a children's illustrator, have begun thinking turtle thoughts. As they come together to hatch a plan to release the turtles into the sea, their diaries reveal how they find their own lives changing in imperceptible and quite unintended ways.
'Crackles with witty detail, mordant intelligence and self-deprecating irony'Time
'This lovely human fable seems to me one of the best things of its kind - a fine and touching achievement' John Fowles

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
Russell
Hoban
is
our
Ur-novelist,
a
maverick
voice
that
is
like
no
other.
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.
This wonderful, life-saving fantasy places Russell Hoban where he has got to be - among the greatest, timeless novelists.
Crackles with witty detail, mordant intelligence and self-deprecating irony.
[Turtle Diary] has medicinal qualities. I only need to think about it and I'm in a better mood.
A story about the recovery of life ... Like other cult writers - Salinger for instance, or Vonnegut - Hoban writes about ordinary people making life-affirming gestures in a world that threatens to dissolve in madness.
This lovely human fable seems to me one of the best things of its kind - a fine and touching achievement.
Tragicomic pleasure ... Metaphysical speculation undercut by dry humour is the signature style of Russell Hoban.
