Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1. An unforgettable story of a man's reflection on the a spent loving and the last great love of his life.Chris Minaar is a distinguished South African writer who has lost his gift for the word. That is, until, he meets Rachel, a woman destined to become the great love of his life, a love greater for being unfulfilled.Before I Forget is the final act of Chris's creative life; it is the coming together of all the chaotic pieces of his existence. It is much more than the story of how he met Rachel; it is the story of his life and his lifetime of loves. There are brief affairs, extended affairs, even a marriage and in all of them we find Chris retelling his joys and pains in such a way that they move us to tears and beyond.Erotic, searingly honest, and a profoundly moving novel, this is the history of a life set against the history of a nation and, more than anything, a tribute to lost lovers and our very ability to love at all.

Illustrierte Originalbroschur. Condition: Gut. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 311 (1) Seiten. 19,6 cm. Sehr guter Zustand. Chris Minaar is a distinguished South African writer, an old writer, but a writer who has lost whatever gift he had for writing. It is on New Year's Eve, courtesy of his stalled car, that he meets Rachel, a young sculptress who becomes the great love of his life, a love greater for being unfulfilled. He finds himself captivated by Rachel and drawn into a close friendship with her husband. As their friendship develops, Chris must reconcile himself to an unaccustomed type of intimacy but one that inevitably threatens this precarious triangular relationship. Woven through this is the story of his life and of a lifetime's loving. For he has known many women. As it becomes clear that this book is the final writing act of Chris's creative life, so we understand that these recollections are an attempt to bring order to an otherwise chaotic existence. - André Philippus Brink (* 29. Mai 1935 in Vrede, Vrystaat) ist einer der bedeutendsten zeitgenössischen Schriftsteller Südafrikas. Er ist einer der wenigen afrikaanssprachigen Autoren, die international Beachtung finden (siehe auch Breyten Breytenbach). Nachdem sein Roman Kennis van die Aand (1973) als erster afrikaanser Text in Südafrika mit einem Bann belegt (d.h. verboten) wurde, begann Brink bilingual (afrikaans und englisch) zu arbeiten. Heute erscheinen seine Romane gleichzeitig in beiden Sprachen. Brink wurde mehrfach für den Booker Prize nominiert und war mehrfach für den Nobelpreis für Literatur im Gespräch. Er ist Honorarprofessor am Department of English Language and Literature der Universität Kapstadt. . Aus: wikipedia-Andr%C3%A9_Brink. Before I Forget is the history of a life set against the history of a nation, and the history of a transforming love. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 244.
