Couverture souple. Condition: Assez bon. 1ère Édition. service de presse. Une nuit à Paris, un étudiant des Beaux-Arts fait rentrer en cachette trois clochards dans une morgue pour une étrange séance de pose. Ces figurants des grandes villes lui apparaissent comme les modèles idéals pour créer une version contemporaine de la célèbre déploration du Christ peinte par Andrea Mantegna à la fin du XVe siècle. Peu à peu, la voix du jeune peintre, hanté par le souvenir d'une passion amoureuse, se mêle à celle des deux vieilles clochardes qui se tiennent chaud et à celle de l'ivrogne qui joue au Christ marchant sur l'eau pour la plus grande joie des touristes. A travers l'entrelacement de ces paroles qui se croisent et qui se télescopent sans jamais se toucher, Youval Shimoni, dans un flot d'images envoûtantes, compose une fresque sur notre humanité d'une sombre beauté charnelle. Biographie: Youval Shimoni, né à Jérusalem en 1955, a fait des études de cinéma. Il est éditeur et anime un atelier d'écriture à l'université de Tel-Aviv. Son premier roman, "Le vol du pigeon" (Metropolis, 2001), a immédiatement retenu l'attention: "une écriture qui passe, dans un même mouvement, d'une description froide, implacable, à une mélopée onirique et envoûtante" (Le Monde). Pour son deuxième ouvrage, "Tiroirs" (Metropolis, 2004), la critique israélienne fut unanime.

Condition: Wie neu. 1. Auflage. 96 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Wir wissen ungefähr, was israelische Literatur ist: Ihr Schauplatz ist Israel, sie erstreckt sich zwischen Vergangenheit und Zukunft und hat, häufig, mit Deutschland zu tun, mit der traumatischen Vergangenheit der Shoah. In Wirklichkeit geht die moderne hebräische Literatur auch andere Wege, wovon der Roman des jungen israelischen Schriftstellers Juwal Shimoni eindrucksvoll Zeugnis ablegt. Er führt die Leser nach Paris und erzählt zwei Geschichten. Die von Rich und Babs, einem Ehepaar, das einen Abend und einen Morgen im Hotel verbringt, und, parallel dazu, die Geschichte einer Frau, die namenlos bleibt und die der Erzähler wie durch eine Kameralinse beobachtet. Blicke und Bewegungen erscheinen in kleinste Bestandteile zerlegt, ohne zueinander zu finden. Es ist das erzählerische Protokoll vollkommener Einsamkeit. Juwal Shimoni schildert Einsamkeit, Leere und Verzweiflung ohne Pathos und ohne jede Sentimentalität, indem er sie nur noch registriert und eine eigene Form annehmen läßt, die die Übersetzerin Anne Birkenhauer im Nachwort beschreibt. Der Schriftsteller arbeitet mit Kameraeinstellungen des modernen Films, die er - und darin liegt die besondere Leistung seines Buches - sprachliche Gestalt annehmen läßt. Originalpreis 18 Euro. ISBN 3633540938 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 gebundene Ausgabe mit Schutzumschlag.
