‘Ik dacht over de dingen waarvan ik genoot in de trant van: wanneer ik sterf, zal dat verdwijnen. Mijn vrouw zou verdwijnen, mijn plezier en mijn schrijven zouden verdwijnen, álles zou verdwijnen als ik stierf. Dat was enorm egoïstisch. Ik dacht er niet aan dat mijn arme kinderen geen vader meer zouden hebben, ik dacht slechts aan mezélf zonder hen. Pijnlijk, dat was echt verachtelijk.’ Opvallend veel van zijn verhalen focussen op vaders en hun grote invloed op het leven van hun kinderen.
"Marco Carrera is 'the hummingbird,' a man with an almost supernatural ability to remain still amid the chaos of an ever-changing world. Though his life is rife with emotional challenges-suffering the death of his sister and the absence of his brother; caring for his elderly parents; raising his granddaughter when her mother, Marco's own child, is no longer capable; loving an enigmatic woman-Marco carries on with a noble stoicism that belies an intensity for living. As the years pass and the arc of his life bends, Marco finds himself filled with joy for the future as the baton passes from him to the next generation. A beautiful and compelling journey through time told in myriad narrative styles, The Hummingbird is a story of suffering, happiness, loss, love, and hope-of a man who embodies the quiet heroism that defines daily life for countless ordinary folk. A thrilling Florentine family saga about the need to look to the future with hope and live with intensity to the very end, Sandro Veronesi's masterpiece-eminently readable, rich in insight, and filled with interesting twists and revelations-is a portrait of human existence, the vicissitudes and vagaries that propel and ultimately define us"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

La novel·la mostra la complexitat de la vida del protagonista, la seva (complicada) història d'amor una família peculiar (com tantes!) i això sí; un posat estoic del personatge davant de totes les contrarietats.
Una traducció impecable. ( )
