Informazioni sull?autore
Louis de Bernières is the best-selling author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin. His most recent novels are Birds Without Wings and A Partisan's Daughter.
Dalla quarta di copertina
A PARTISAN'S DAUGHTER
'Sublimely funny and moving...by the time I'd finished this sleek little novel I'd laughed out loud numerous times and, eventually, cried. That's as true a testimony to a book's loveliness as I know.'
Independent
BIRDS WITHOUT WINGS
'Captivating and compelling...a masterpiece.'
Independent of Sunday
'A magnificent, poetic, colossal novel...It is, in every sense, a sublime book.'
Irish Times
CAPTAIN CORELLI'S MANDOLIN
'An emotional, funny, stunning novel which swings with wide smoothness between joy and bleakness, personal lives and history...it's lyrical and angry, satirical and earnest.'
Observer
Dal risvolto di copertina interno
A Frenchman once pointed out to Louis de Bernières that Britain was the most exotic country in Europe, adding that it was 'an immense lunatic asylum'. Casting his mind back to the village in southern Surrey where he grew up in the sixties and seventies, but plagued by a novelist's inability to stick to the truth, Louis de Bernieres brings us in Notwithstanding stories of a vanished England which will delight readers of his much-loved novels.
The English village was a place where a lady might dress as a man in plus fours and spend her time shooting squirrels with a twelve bore, or keep a vast menagerie in her house. A retired general might give up wearing clothes, a spiritualist might live in a cottage with her sister and the ghost of her husband, and people might think it quite natural to confide in a spider that lives in a potting shed.
De Bernières's characters roam through the book, appearing in each others' stories and painting a picture of an entire community. Here we find the atmosphere of those times as it was in the countryside. Notwithstanding is not about an idyll that never was; it is about people who are worth remembering, whose lives are worth celebrating, and who would otherwise have been forgotten.
