Patul lui Procust by Camil Petrescu RO
RomaniaDescription:
Triunghiuri amoroase sunt destule in amandoua romanele lui Camil Petrescu de dinainte de razboi. Combustibilul care pune dorinta in miscare este, in amandoua, vanitatea. Daca pasiunea se analizeaza si formeaza obiectul prozei psihologice, vanitatea se reflecta in gesturi si formeaza obiectul prozei comportiste. Camil Petrescu, atat de dator lui Proust in tezele lui despre roman, nu-i datoreaza mare lucru in romane ca atare. Patul lui Procust e romanul unor vanitati ranite: a doamnei T. si a lui Fred Vasilescu, in primul rand. Tocmai ale celor carora Autorul le da cuvantul, pe care-i indeamna s... continue

Traducere de Vali Florescu Cărțile scriitoarei britanice Jeanette Winterson sunt publicate în peste 35 de țări. „De ce măsura iubirii este pierderea ei?" Așa începe un roman frumos ca o scrisoare de dragoste, în care protagoniștii se caută, se găsesc într-o noapte ploioasă, se iubesc nebunește și în cele din urmă rătăcesc iremediabil drumul unul spre celălalt. Pe ea o cheamă Louise. Are păr prerafaelit și pielea albă ca laptele. Dar persoana pe care o iubește și care-i așterne pe hârtie povestea n-are nici nume, nici chip, nici sex. Însă dragostea nu cunoaște astfel de îngrădiri. E, așa cum de... continue
