Ergebnis für "Simple Passion" in Belletristik

In her spare, stark style, Annie Ernaux documents the desires and indignities of a human heart ensnared in an all-consuming passion. Blurring the line between fact and fiction, an unnamed narrator attempts to plot the emotional and physical course of her two-year relationship with a married foreigner where every word, event, and person either provides a connection with her beloved or is subject to her cold indifference. With courage and exactitude, she seeks the truth behind an existence lived entirely for someone else, and, in the pieces of its aftermath, she is able to find it.

"À partir du mois de septembre l'année dernière, je n'ai plus rien fait d'autre qu'attendre un homme : qu'il me téléphone et qu'il vienne chez moi." Annie Ernaux. Juliette Binoche interprète avec sensibilité cette œuvre essentielle d'Annie Ernaux, prix Nobel de littérature 2022.

"Ich wusste schon immer, dass sie mich zum Tode verurteilen würden", so beginnt Amélie Nothombs neues Buch. Hier spricht Jesus Christus in der Nacht vor seinem Tod. Mutterseelenallein in seiner Zelle, vertraut er uns seine geheimsten Gedanken an, seine Zweifel, seinen Groll. Leidenschaftlich fühlt sich Amélie Nothomb in die Leidensgeschichte Jesu ein. Hier wird Jesus tatsächlich Mensch.

Anulând granițele dintre ficțiune și memorialistică, naratoarea anonimă din Pasiune simplă documentează reacțiile, dorințele, umilințele unei femei consumate timp de doi ani de pasiunea pentru un străin căsătorit. Fiecare cuvânt, întâmplare ori persoană ce­i iese în cale îi prilejuiește o legătură cu cel iubit ori îi provoacă o indiferență glacială. Nu există cale de mijloc, așa cum luciditatea extremă nu oferă scăpare din fața acestei pasiuni mistuitoare.
