Dalla quarta di copertina
"It is always interesting when a writer of Vargas Llosa's distinction discusses a great novelist, bringing to bear a luminous awareness of the craft of fiction. The Temptation of the Impossible is written with considerable zest, discrimination, and enthusiasm. Raising practical and theoretical points about the art of the novel, Vargas Llosa never loses sight of Hugo's specific achievement. I recommend this book without hesitation."--Victor Brombert, author of Trains of Thought

hardcover. Condizione: Very Good in Dustjacket. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Princeton. 2007. Princeton University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780691131115. Translated from the Spanish by John King. 196 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Carmina Alvarez-Gaffin. keywords: Literary Criticism France Victor Hugo Les Miserables Translated. DESCRIPTION - It was one of the most popular novels of the nineteenth century and Tolstoy called it 'the greatest of all novels.' Yet today Victor Hugo's Les Miserables is neglected by readers and undervalued by critics. In The Temptation of the Impossible, one of the world's great novelists, Mario Vargas Llosa, helps us to appreciate the incredible ambition, power, and beauty of Hugo's masterpiece and, in the process, presents a humane vision of fiction as an alternative reality that can help us imagine a different and better world. Hugo, Vargas Llosa says, had at least two goals in Les Miserables - to create a complete fictional world and, through it, to change the real world. Despite the impossibility of these aims, Hugo makes them infectious, sweeping up the reader with his energy and linguistic and narrative skill. Les Miserables, Vargas Llosa argues, embodies a utopian vision of literature - the idea that literature can not only give us a supreme experience of beauty, but also make us more virtuous citizens, and even grant us a glimpse of the 'afterlife, the immortal soul, God.' If Hugo's aspiration to transform individual and social life through literature now seems innocent, Vargas Llosa says, it is still a powerful ideal that great novels like Les Miserables can persuade us is true. inventory #36473.
