Super knjiga...
Celotno dogajanje se dogaja v eni noči v Lizboni, tik pred izbruhom druge svetovne vojne. Iz Lizbone plujejo ladje v Ameriko, ki je obljubljena dežela za številne emigrante. Tako se najdeta dva odrasla moška, cela knjiga je njun pogovor. Eden je obupan, ker ni mogel dobiti vizumov in kart. Drugi jih kot po naključju ima, a jih ne potrebuje več, ker mu je umrla žena in mu je sedaj za vse vseeno. Edini pogoj, da prvemu podari karte in vizume (slike so ponarejali na vsakem vogalu), je ta, da z njim preživi noč, da mu bo povedal svojo zgodbo. Ker se boji, da mu bo čas izkrivil pogled na preteklost, hoče, da se vsaj nekako ohrani realna slika v glavi nepristranskega opazovalca. Imenuje se Schwarz, kar je seveda lažna identiteta... Glavna zgodba je zgodba znotraj zgodbe, kako se je izgnani Schwarz vrnil po svojo ženo, kako bežita po Evropi in kaj vse se jima dogaja. V ospredju je njun odnos, bila sta poročena 3 ali 4 leta, potem sta bila 5 let narazen, potem se znova vidita, a sta si tujca in ona umira, a gre vseeno z njim na potovanje. Ker ima on lažno identiteto, ona pa pravi fašistični potni list, je še toliko bolj komplicirano.
Cela knjiga je polna globokih misli...ne na tak plehek način, kot Alkimist recimo (:D sicer ga imam ravno na mizi, mu bom dala še eno priložnost, hehe), ampak res na tak način, da te prevzame. Če bi imela knjigo še doma, bi kaj prepisala ven...
Ful ful priporočam
The Night in Lisbon (1964; published in German as Die Nacht von Lissabon in 1961) is the last of three of Remarque's novels, along with Flotsam (1941) and Arch of Triumph (1945), that deal with the plight of émigrés at a time when German anti-Nazis were treated as if they were Nazis by the countries to which they had fled. It was a time when the "host" governments did not want these wandering Jews but then again refused to let go of them and when a person was lucky to get an exit visa from France before his transit visa to Spain expired. The novel is framed by a refugee narrator who, sometime in 1942, has made it to Lisbon with his dying wife. The book begins when he runs into a landsman who offers him two passports to the United States on condition that the lucky beneficiary serve as his captive audience during the night it takes him to unravel his tale. The recitalist (and main figure) has himself inherited the passports from a dying emigrant, Schwarz, whose name he has taken. In 1934 Schwarz the narrator had been denounced by his SS brother-in-law and sent to a camp, from which he escaped to Paris. During the 1930s and 1940s Paris—and the French outposts—served as the inevitable destination, the locus classicus, of intrigue and nostalgia for the Schwarzes, Rick Blaines, and Victor Laszlos, who had their choice of being interned by the Gestapo or the gendarmerie. In 1939 Schwarz returns to Westphalia to look up his wife, from whom he has been parted for five years and who insists on returning to Paris with him illegally. (Twenty years earlier Remarque had used a similar plot in Flotsam.) The bulk of the novel charts the course of the two from Germany to Lisbon between 1939 and 1942. En route to the Pyrenees, both escape from internment camps in Marseille; Schwarz's wife dies of cancer the day before he hands the passports to his listener and joins the resistance.
kakšna zgodba.. kakšen konec! res hudo dobro napisano in ti da ful snovi za razmislek. TOPLO PRIPOROČAM!
S tem zakladom so čisto sfalili...to, ko mu un ropar v Egiptu reče, da so njemu isto rekli za zaklad, bi morala ostati prispodoba, kao da se eni pač nikoli ne odpravijo od doma iskati sreče (oziroma Osebne legende ali kaj že). Ne pa da je pol RES našel zaklad.
