Where My Heart Used to Beat
Описание и характеристики
His host, and antagonist, is Alexander Pereira, a man whose time is running out, but who seems to know more about his guest than Hendricks himself does.
The search for sanity takes us through the war in Italy in 1944, a passionate love that seems to hold out hope, the great days of idealistic work in the 1960s and finally - unforgettably - back into the trenches of the Western Front.
The recurring themes of Sebastian Faulks’s fiction are brought together with a new stylistic brilliance as the novel casts a long, baleful light over the century we have left behind but may never fully understand. Daring, ambitious and in the end profoundly moving, this is Faulks’s most remarkable book yet.

Себастьян Фолкс, как всегда, делает это снова. Его произведения поражают своей реалистичностью исторических связей и переплетающихся с ними человеческих историй, которые действительно так правдивы. Сладко-горький финал, к сожалению, тоже соответствует жизни, а завязывание эмоциональных узлов, так сказать, - тема, о которой мы должны говорить больше, благодаря тому, как движется концепция. Мне кажется, что люди недостаточно осознают, насколько необходимо знать, кто мы, откуда взялись наши гены, чего мы можем ожидать в жизни, как в плане здоровья, так и в плане характера, обусловленного нашим генетическим наследием. Все эти вопросы рассматриваются в книге очень тонко и грамотно. Отличное чтение.
On a small island off the south coast of France, Robert Hendricks, an English doctor who has seen the best and the worst the twentieth century had to offer, is forced to confront the events that made up his life.
His host, and antagonist, is Alexander Pereira, a man whose time is running out, but who seems to know more about his guest than Hendricks himself does.
The search for sanity takes us through the war in Italy in 1944, a passionate love that seems to hold out hope, the great days of idealistic work in the 1960s and finally - unforgettably - back into the trenches of the Western Front.
