Valutazione del venditore 3 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 304 pages. Shortly before his death in 1981, Stefan Hertmans' grandfather gave him a cou ple of filled exercise books. Stories he?d heard as a child had led Hertmans t o suspect that their contents might be disturbing, and for years he didn?t dar e to open them.When he finally did, he discovered unexpected secrets. His grandfather?s life was marked by years of childhood poverty in late-nineteent h-century Belgium, by horrific experiences on the frontlines during the First Wo rld War and by the loss of the young love of his life. He sublimated his grief i n the silence of painting.Drawing on these diary entries, his childhood m emories and the stories told within Urbain?s paintings, Hertmans has produced a poetic novelisation of his grandfather?s story, brought to life with great i maginative power and vivid detail.War and Turpentine is an enthralling se arch for a life that coincided with the tragedy of a century?and a posthumous, almost mythical attempt to give that life a voice at last.
