Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Una novela sobre la ocupació nazi a França molt diferent del que estem acostumats. Narrada amb una bellesa i delicadesa que contrasta amb un dels moments més durs de la història del segle XX. Dues històries explicades simultàniament durant els 4 anys d’ocupació i que només conflueixen al final i durant menys de 24 hores, però que acabarà marcant el devenir dels dos protagonistes. Els millors moments de la novela, la relació de la Marie Laure, la noia cega, amb el seu pare, en especial durant els aniversaris de la protagonista i els regals embolicats en complexes caixes de fusta plenes d’enginyosos mecanismes per arribar a obrir-la, però que la Marie Laure obre cada cop amb més rapidesa. Les maquetes que construeix el seu pare, primer del seu barri de Paris, prop del Jardin des Plantes, i després de Saint Malo, per a que la seva filla s’aprengui els carrers de memòria i no es perdi. Son molts els detalls i molts els personatges ben construits i entranyables, com en Frederick, l’amic d’en Wermer, el protagonista de la segona història, que fan d’aquesta una molt bona novela. ( )
What really makes a book of the summer is when we surprise ourselves. It’s not just about being fascinated by a book. It’s about being fascinated by the fact that we’re fascinated. The odds: 2-1 All the Light We Cannot See Anthony Doerr Pros: Blind daughter of a locksmith meets reluctant Nazi engineering whiz! What more do you want? Cons: Complex, lyrical historical fiction may not have the necessary mass appeal. “All the Light We Cannot See” is more than a thriller and less than great literature. As such, it is what the English would call “a good read.” Maybe Doerr could write great literature if he really tried. I would be happy if he did. I’m not sure I will read a better novel this year than Anthony Doerr’s “All the Light We Cannot See.” By the time the narrative finds Marie-Laure and Werner in the same German-occupied village in Brittany, a reader’s skepticism has been absolutely flattened by this novel’s ability to show that the improbable doesn’t just occur, it is the grace that allows us to survive the probable. Werner’s experience at the school is only one of the many trials through which Mr. Doerr puts his characters in this surprisingly fresh and enveloping book. What’s unexpected about its impact is that the novel does not regard Europeans’ wartime experience in a new way. Instead, Mr. Doerr’s nuanced approach concentrates on the choices his characters make and on the souls that have been lost, both living and dead.

"From the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr, a stunningly ambitious and beautiful novel about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie Laure lives with her father in Paris within walking distance of the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of the locks (there are thousands of locks in the museum). When she is six, she goes blind, and her father builds her a model of their neighborhood, every house, every manhole, so she can memorize it with her fingers and navigate the real streets with her feet and cane. When the Germans occupy Paris, father and daughter flee to Saint-Malo on the Brittany coast, where Marie-Laure's agoraphobic great uncle lives in a tall, narrow house by the sea wall. In another world in Germany, an orphan boy, Werner, grows up with his younger sister, Jutta, both enchanted by a crude radio Werner finds. He becomes a master at building and fixing radios, a talent that wins him a place at an elite and brutal military academy and, ultimately, makes him a highly specialized tracker of the Resistance. Werner travels through the heart of Hitler Youth to the far-flung outskirts of Russia, and finally into Saint-Malo, where his path converges with Marie-Laure. Doerr's gorgeous combination of soaring imagination with observation is electric. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, Doerr illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is his most ambitious and dazzling work"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
