For One More Day
Autor Mitch Albomen Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2008
Ce ai face dacă ai putea petrece încă o singură zi alături de cineva drag pe care l-ai pierdut? Considerăm că această întrebare nu este doar un exercițiu de imaginație, ci nucleul emoțional al romanului For One More Day. Mitch Albom ne propune o incursiune tulburătoare în viața lui Charley „Chick” Benetto, un bărbat care, ajuns în pragul disperării și al autodistrugerii, primește un dar imposibil: o zi obișnuită alături de mama sa, plecată dintre cei vii de opt ani. Remarcăm finețea cu care autorul construiește această întâlnire supranaturală, tratând-o nu ca pe un miracol spectaculos, ci ca pe o necesitate a vindecării sufletești. Subliniem modul în care Albom explorează dinamica „băiatul tatei versus băiatul mamei”, arătând cum alegerile din copilărie reverberează dureros în deceniile de maturitate marcate de divorț și instabilitate. Forța narativă a lui Bill Clegg combinată cu sensibilitatea explorată de Danielle Steel în Johnny Angel se regăsesc aici, însă Mitch Albom păstrează un glas propriu, profund ancorat în realismul magic al cotidianului. Față de lucrări precum The Five People You Meet In Heaven, unde accentul cădea pe înțelegerea retrospectivă a întregii existențe, For One More Day este o operă mult mai intimă, concentrată pe iertare și pe sacrificiile tăcute ale părinților. Stilul este melancolic, dar plin de speranță, invitând la o reflecție profundă asupra legăturilor de familie care transcend moartea.

Descriere scurtă
"Every family is a ghost story . . ."
Mitch Albom mesmerized readers around the world with his number one New York Times bestsellers, The Five People You Meet in Heaven and Tuesdays with Morrie. Now he returns with a beautiful, haunting novel about the family we love and the chances we miss.
For One More Day is the story of a mother and a son, and a relationship that covers a lifetime and beyond. It explores the question: What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one?
As a child, Charley "Chick" Benetto was told by his father, "You can be a mama's boy or a daddy's boy, but you can't be both." So he chooses his father, only to see the man disappear when Charley is on the verge of adolescence.
Decades later, Charley is a broken man. His life has been crumbled by alcohol and regret. He loses his job. He leaves his family. He hits bottom after discovering his only daughter has shut him out of her wedding. And he decides to take his own life.
He makes a midnight ride to his small hometown, with plans to do himself in. But upon failing even to do that, he staggers back to his old house, only to make an astonishing discovery. His mother--who died eight years earlier--is still living there, and welcomes him home as if nothing ever happened.
What follows is the one "ordinary" day so many of us yearn for, a chance to make good with a lost parent, to explain the family secrets, and to seek forgiveness. Somewhere between this life and the next, Charley learns the astonishing things he never knew about his mother and her sacrifices. And he tries, with her tender guidance, to put the crumbled pieces of his life back together.
Through Albom's inspiring characters and masterful storytelling, readers will newly appreciate those whom they love--and may have thought they'd lost--in their own lives. For One More Day is a book for anyone in a family, and will be cherished by Albom's millions of fans worldwide.
