With Silk, his first novel to appear in English, Alessandro Baricco immediately proved himself to be a magical storyteller. With Ocean Sea, he has been acclaimed as the successor to Italo Calvino, and a major voice in modern literature.

In Ocean Sea, Alessandro Baricco presents a hypnotizing postmodern fable of human malady--psychological, existential, erotic--and the sea as a means of deliverance. At the Almayer Inn, a remote shoreline hotel, an artist dips his brush in a cup of ocean water to paint a portrait of the sea. A scientist pens love letters to a woman he has yet to meet. An adulteress searches for relief from her proclivity to fall in love. And a sixteen-year-old girl seeks a cure from a mysterious condition which science has failed to remedy. When these people meet, their fates begin to interact as if by design. Enter a mighty tempest and a ghostly mariner with a thirst for vengeance, and the Inn becomes a place where destiny and desire battle for the upper hand. Playful, provocative, and ultimately profound, Ocean Sea is a novel of striking originality and wisdom.

Somewhere in America lives a brilliant boy named Gould, an intellectual guided missile aimed at the Nobel Prize. His only companions are an imaginary giant and an imaginary mute. Improbably—and yet with impeccable logic--he falls into the care of Shatzy Shell, a young woman whose life up till that point has been equally devoid of human connection .

Theirs is a relationship of stories and of stories within stories: of Gould’s evolving saga of an underdog boxer and the violent Western that Shatzy has been dictating into a tape recorder since the age of six. Out of these stories, Alessandro Baricco creates a masterpiece of metaphysical pulp fiction that recalls both Scheherazade and Italo Calvino. By turns exhilarating and deeply moving, City is irresistible. ]]> 908 3.82 3055 409 1999 1379 030726355X 9780307263551 19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1158208294m/1379.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1158208294s/1379.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1379.An_Iliad 3.62 136 A bold reimagining of our civilization’s greatest tale of war, by the author of the acclaimed best seller Silk.

Alessandro Baricco re-creates the siege of Troy through the voices of twenty-one Homeric characters in the narrative idiom of our modern imagination. Sacrificing none of Homer’s panoramic scope, Baricco forgoes Homeric detachment and admits us to realms of subjective experience his predecessor never explored. From the return of Chryseis to the burial of Hector, we see through human eyes and feel with human hearts the unforgettable events first recounted almost three thousand years ago—events arranged not by the whims of the gods in this instance but by the dictates of human nature. With Andromache, Patroclus, Priam, and the rest, we are privy to the ghastly confusion of battle, the clamor of princely councils, the intimacies of the bedchamber—until finally only a blind poet is left to recount, secondhand, the awful fall of Ilium.

Imbuing the stuff of legend with a startling new relevancy and humanity, Baricco gives us The Iliad as we have never known it. His transformative achievement is certain to delight and fascinate all readers of Homer’s indispensable classic.

Τίτλος πρωτοτύπου: Senza sangue, Alessandro Baricco (2002).

"Στο ξάγναντο, το παλιό υποστατικό του Μάτο Ρούτο στεκόταν σβηστό, λαξεμένο σε μαύρο φόντο, κόντρα στο φως του δειλινού. Μοναδικό στίγμα στο αδειανό περίγραμμα του κάμπου. Οι τέσσερις άντρες έφτασαν με μια παλιά Μερσεντές. Ο δρόμος ήταν σκαμμένος και ξερός -ένας φτωχός αγροτικός δρόμος. Από το υποστατικό, ο Μαουέλ Ρόκα τους είδε.

Πλησίασε στο παράθυρο. Πρώτα είδε τη στήλη της σκόνης να υψώνεται πάνω από τις κορφές του καλαμποκιού. Ύστερα άκουσε τον ήχο της μηχανής. Κανένας δεν είχε πια αυτοκίνητο σ' εκείνα τα μέρη. Ο Μανουέλ Ρόκα το ήξερε αυτό. Είδε τη Μερσεντές να ξεμυτίζει στο βάθος κι έπειτα να εξαφανίζεται πίσω από μια αράδα βελανιδιές. Ύστερα έπαψε να κοιτάζει. Στράφηκε προς το τραπέζι κι ακούμπησε το χέρι του στο κεφάλι της κόρης. Σήκω, της είπε. Πήρε ένα κλειδί από την τσέπη, το απίθωσε στο τραπέζι κι έκανε ένα νεύμα στο γιο. Αμέσως, είπε το αγόρι. Ήταν παιδιά, δύο παιδάκια."]]> 2998631 0.0 0 1 908 3.82 3055 409 2005
