A Moveable Feast de Ernest Hemingway

A Moveable Feast

Autor Ernest Hemingway James Naughton
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 31 mai 2006

În cadrul studiilor literare dedicate modernismului american, A Moveable Feast ocupă un loc central, fiind textul de referință pentru înțelegerea 'Generației Pierdute'. Considerăm această operă nu doar o simplă autobiografie, ci o extensie stilistică a tehnicii narative care l-a consacrat pe Ernest Hemingway. Analizând structura volumului, descoperim o serie de schițe pariziene ce gravitează în jurul unor puncte de reper fundamentale, de la librăria Shakespeare and Company până la cafenelele din Place St.-Michel, oferind o perspectivă intimă asupra uceniciei literare a autorului.

Subliniem faptul că, spre deosebire de The Sun Also Rises, unde deziluzia postbelică este filtrată prin ficțiune, în acest volum regăsim sursa brută a experiențelor care au modelat acea epocă. Ca alternativă la The Letters of Ernest Hemingway: Volume 2, 1923-1925 pentru cursurile de istorie a literaturii, A Moveable Feast are avantajul unei narațiuni coerente și al unui ton confesiv, transformând corespondența fragmentară într-o mitologie personală a Parisului. Textul funcționează ca un companion esențial pentru The Garden of Eden, ambele fiind lucrări finisate postum care explorează complexitatea relațiilor umane sub presiunea creativității.

Progresia capitolelor, de la instrucțiunile primite de la Gertrude Stein până la portretul melancolic al lui F. Scott Fitzgerald, reflectă maturizarea unui stil care a schimbat cursul prozei engleze. Ritmul este controlat, menținând acea 'brilianță dură' despre care criticii vremii afirmau că oferă scenelor o iminență uluitoare, în ciuda distanței temporale la care au fost scrise.

Despre autor

Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) a fost un romancier, nuvelist și jurnalist american, a cărui proză economică și subestimată a influențat decisiv ficțiunea secolului XX. Laureat al Premiului Nobel în 1954, Hemingway și-a construit opera pe baza unor experiențe de viață intense, de la șofer de ambulanță pe frontul italian în Primul Război Mondial, până la corespondent în Războiul Civil Spaniol. Stilul său, denumit 'teoria icebergului', se regăsește în capodopere precum A Farewell to Arms și The Old Man and the Sea. A Moveable Feast reprezintă omagiul său adus anilor de formare din Paris, publicat postum pentru a întregi portretul unui autor monumental.

Descriere scurtă


"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."

-- ERNEST HEMINGWAY TO A FRIEND, 1950

Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. It is his classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, filled with irreverent portraits of other expatriate luminaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein; tender memories of his first wife, Hadley; and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft. It is a literary feast, brilliantly evoking the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the youthful spirit, unbridled creativity, and unquenchable enthusiasm that Hemingway himself epitomized.

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer in the twentieth century, and for his efforts he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. Hemingway wrote in short, declarative sentences and was known for his tough, terse prose. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Ernest Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. As part of the expatriate community in 1920s Paris, the former journalist and World War I ambulance driver began a career that lead to international fame. Hemingway was an aficionado of bullfighting and big-game hunting, and his main protagonists were always men and women of courage and conviction, who suffered unseen scars, both physical and emotional. He covered the Spanish Civil War, portraying it in fiction in his brilliant novel For Whom the Bell Tolls, and he subsequently covered World War II. His classic novella The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. He died in 1961.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. Since Hemingway's personal papers were released in 1979, scholars have examined and debated the changes made to the text before publication. Now this new special restored edition presents the original manuscript as the author prepared it to be published.

Featuring a personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, Ernest's sole surviving son, and an introduction by the editor and grandson of the author, Seán Hemingway, this new edition also includes a number of unfinished, never-before-published Paris sketches revealing experiences that Hemingway had with his son Jack and his first wife, Hadley. Also included are irreverent portraits of other luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Madox Ford, and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft.

Sure to excite critics and readers alike, the restored edition of A Moveable Feast brilliantly evokes the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the unbridled creativity and enthusiasm that Hemingway himself experienced. In the world of letters it is a unique insight into a great literary generation, by one of the best American writers of the twentieth century.

Notă biografică

Ernest Hemingway was born in 1899. His father was a doctor and he was the second of six children. Their home was at Oak Park, a Chicago suburb.

In 1917, Hemingway joined the Kansas City Star as a cub reporter. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for his services. He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921. In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He settled in Paris where he renewed his earlier friendships with such fellow-American expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Their encouragement and criticism were to play a valuable part in the formation of his style.

Hemingway's first two published works were Three Stories and Ten Poems and In Our Time but it was the satirical novel, The Torrents of Spring, that established his name more widely. His international reputation was firmly secured by his next three books; Fiesta, Men Without Women and A Farewell to Arms.

He was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game hunting and deep-sea fishing and his writing reflected this. He visited Spain during the Civil War and described his experiences in the bestseller, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

His direct and deceptively simple style of writing spawned generations of imitators but no equals. Recognition of his position in contemporary literature came in 1954 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, following the publication of The Old Man and the Sea. He died in 1961.
