Paperback. Condition: New. This affecting story is the basis of the Academy Award-winning film Character, named the best foreign film of 1998. In reviewing the film, Roger Ebert called the tale "dark, bitter, and fascinating-about hatred so deep that it can only be ended with a knife.It evokes some of the darker episodes of Dickens and also, in its focus on the grind of poverty and illegitimacy, reflects the twisted stories of family secrets by that grim Victorian, George Gissing. It is essentially the story of a young man growing up and making good, by pluck and intelligence, but all of his success comes out of the desire to spite his father." Ferdinand Bordewijk's protagonist is an illegitimate child, raised in a Rotterdam slum by an independent, self-respecting, and austere mother. The boy's father is a force of nature-violent by design, grasping, and ruthless. Thye young man's rise is a quietly powerful saga. Bordewijk moves the reader because the facts in his novel-the facts of life-are arresting, pungent, and memorable.

Condition: Muy Bueno. 23 x 13.5cm. 224. Ğ"Carácter" tiene tres protagonistas: un padre, una madre y un hijo. En cierto sentido, el resto de los personajes [.] sólo sirven para acentuar la granítica unidimensionalidad de esos tres. Esto le da a la narración un aire mítico; cada uno de los protagonistas es esencialmente incapaz de comunicarse con los otros: está atrapado en su propia naturaleza sin posibilidad de escape. No conozco otro relato cuyos personajes se sometan de forma tan brutal al yugo de la información retenida, tanto que la trama [.] parece desarrollarse en una cápsula de silencio. El padre es un monstruo salido de la tragedia griega; la madre, una santa de proporciones casi aterradoras; y el hijo debe vencer al padre que intenta destruirlo.ğ - Cees NooteboomJus, México, 2019, Castellano, 23 x 13.5cm, 224pp. Castellano.
