Uno studio intimo di tre dei più grandi scrittori irlandesi da una delle sue voci contemporanee più amate, Colm Tóibín In Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know Colm Tóibín prende tre dei più grandi scrittori irlandesi - Oscar Wilde, WB Yeats e James Joyce - ed esamina le loro prime influenze: i loro padri. Con il suo inimitabile arguzia e sensibilità, Tóibín ci presenta Wilde Senior, il medico donnaiolo la cui causa per diffamazione prefigurò quella di suo figlio; Yeats padre, un artista impoverito che non finì mai un dipinto; e John Stanislaus Joyce, il padre di James, bevitore e narratore, che non riusciva a sfamare la sua famiglia. Questo è uno studio illuminante su come ognuno di questi uomini abbia gettato una lunga ombra non solo sulle vite dei loro figli famosi, ma anche sulle opere per le quali sono celebrati e amati. 'Sorprendente da leggere. Tóibín ha un occhio da falco per le sottigliezze letterarie e una generosità verso i suoi soggetti che è calorosa' Sunday Times 'Divertente, emozionante, illuminante, meraviglioso, così coinvolgente. Ci racconta più di un po' di noi stessi lungo il cammino' Irish Times 'C'è qualcosa di interessante e perspicace in quasi ogni pagina' Observer 'Scintillante, sottile, spiritoso e spesso profondamente commovente. Un classico' Fintan O'Toole, New Statesman 'Scintillante, fantasioso, illuminante e potentemente commovente dall'inizio alla fine' Roy Foster, Spectator.

Paperback. Condizione: New. An intimate study of three of Ireland's greatest writers from one of its best-loved contemporary voices, Colm Tóibín__________________In Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know Colm Tóibín takes three of Ireland's greatest writers - Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats and James Joyce - and examines their earliest influences: their fathers. With his inimitable wit and sensitivity, Tóibín introduces us to Wilde Senior, the philandering doctor whose libel case prefigured that of his son; the elder Yeats, an impoverished artist who never finished a painting; and to John Stanislaus Joyce, the hard-drinking, storytelling father of James, who couldn't feed his own family. This is an illuminating study of how each of these men cast a long shadow not only over the lives of their famous sons, but over the works for which they are celebrated and cherished.__________________'Astonishing to read.
