Two years ago I was hunting a complete Memoirs of Casanova while in a Powell’s in Chicago. I asked the associate if there were any in stock. He pointed me to a Classics section where a Penguin single volume abridgement sat, lacking any immediate street cred. I asked if there weren’t any complete sets elsewhere in the store. You don’t need the set, the man snapped, all the good stuff is in there. I was likewise looking for good stuff as I finished this novel this evening. My verdict: not so good. Maybe 2.5 stars. The difficulty is largely of my own origin. Marai’s novel is a maudlin minature revealing a certain resonance and discretion not normally associated w/ Casanova. (am I accusing Marai of revisionism? I 'm not sure.) That said, Casanova in Balzano is only a floating episode, lacking continuity and proving to be bereft of empathetic charcters. No reader should care about any one in this novel. The characters exist for a pair of conversations, each punctuated with a lengthy oration best forgotten.
The comedic tone struck in the novel’s opening pages chimes with Márai’s stated intention that it is Casanova’s romantic rather than historical specter that he is interested in conjuring. Pertany a aquestes col·leccions editorialsLe livre de poche, Biblio (3361) Contingut aPremis
"Casanova in Bolzano" is a riveting novel written within the framework of historical reality, of Casanova's escape from a Venetian prison and his fateful encounter with a woman in Bolzano who finally defeats him. Marai captures Casanova and his time and world with amazingly rich detail and startling insight. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
