Книга: Jose Luis Peixoto «Blank Gaze»
|
Производитель: "Bloomsbury Publishing" Against a backdrop of rural Portuguese poverty, a handful of magical characters are living out their destiny: Jose, a shepherd, who is visited by a devil whispering violent words in his ear; Moises and Elias, Siamese twins joined at the tip of their little fingers; Gabriel, a wise man, who is over one hundred years old; and an unnamed character who sits writing alone in a windowless room. The characters are universal, and they are all at the mercy of fate - their lives are pulled in different directions and sometimes even suffocated and snuffed out.

Praise
“José Luís Peixoto is one of the most surprising revelations in recent Portuguese literature.” –José Saramago
“Brilliantly rendered episodic tales of rural loss...Peixoto's evocation of pathos is tempered by a keen sense of the absurd. His ironic sensibility shines through beautifully in this translation.” –Financial Times
“Peixoto’s bold, incantatory prose is consistently beautiful… simple but also incredibly rich and resonant. ….The external narrator’s own wise words are picked up and repeated by the characters, as though these portentous lines, these profound thoughts are out there… like great discovered truths. That even these weighty lines are moving and thought-provoking, rather than pretentious, is further testament to the author’s considerable skills.” - The Independent (UK)
“ [The Implacable Order of Things] poses difficult questions and challenges the reader… but the patient reader finds great rewards.” – The Australian
“You read and breathe as if you were downing a bottle of life in one gulp.” – Le Figaro
“‘Peixoto comes from the world of poetry and of the theatre. And this can be sensed here. His pages, purified in the lyrical prose that makes them unique, introduce us to a rural space burned by the sun, inhabited by the singing of the cicadas and suspended in a mythical time where each action has a biblical inevitability.” – Vogue Italia
The José Luís Peixoto Literary Award
