Couverture souple. Condition: Très bon. Résumé : Voici l'histoire d'un homme qui commence par la fin, et l'histoire d'un pays qui connaît un nouveau départ. Le pays, c'est la Rhodésie, qui devient le Zimbabwe. L'homme est le sergent Gordon, dont la dépouille repose enfin en paix. De profundis s'élève le récit de ses années sur terre. Un chant puissant et ravageur qui conte à rebours le destin d'un damné : les années en enfer dans la prison d'une mine de cuivre, l'armée et la guerre dans un pays ensorcelé, l'adolescence rebelle entre les murs d'une institution religieuse pour délinquants, l'enfance éclatée, l'initiation, la naissance, le secret des origines. Les Douze Portes dans la maison du sergent Gordon est un premier roman qui s'impose d'emblée comme un " classique moderne " par sa virtuosité et sa capacité à convoquer le mythe et l'Histoire en un même souffle. À sa sortie en Angleterre, la critique dans The Guardian commençait par : " L'épopée rhodésienne de George Makana Clark devrait être assortie d'un avertissement en gros caractères : âmes sensibles s'abstenir. Une fois que le lecteur aura fini le premier chapitre non, la première page ! il est quasiment impossible qu'il repose le livre. " L'article s'achevait sur ces mots : " Les éditeurs abusent trop souvent de comparaisons illustres dans la promotion de leurs auteurs. L'éditeur de Makana Clark a cette fois-ci invoqué Coetzee et Conrad, et a aussi affirmé que ce roman est une révélation littéraire impossible à oublier. Dans le cas de ce roman, son éditeur avait raison. " LIVRAISON GRATUITE DANS LE MONDE ENTIER. LIVRE (S) ENVELOPPÉ (S) DANS DU PLASTIQUE A BULLES, ENVOI RAPIDE ET SOIGNÉ.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Good. It begins with a journey. In a resurrected bungalow on the edge of the fledgling nation of Zimbabwe, Sergeant Gordon's story has come to rest. He has borne it across drought-blasted floodplains and highlands, fleeing the copper mine which was his prison for many years. Back there in the underground darkness his story first took form, told as it came to him: in patterns and pieces, forwards and backwards in time, until it became a breathing, speaking entity, moving out through the tunnels. In sections oscillating between the material and spiritual worlds we learn Gordon's story in reverse, from the military, to adolescent rebellion, a patchwork education and the brutal initiations of youth; back to childhood, birth and beyond. We travel the scarred landscapes of Southern Africa: a fractured region contending with its own history and a terrible present reality. Gordon must do the same; reading the blood stories of those he meets, uncovering in visions the secrets of his own ancestry. The Raw Man is a unique and powerful first novel, a mixing of reality and myth and histories real and imagined. It is a story which has never before been told, a conjuring of an extraordinary place and time which reverberates beyond the pages. Reminiscent in its intensity to Joseph Conrad, in its scope to J. M. Coetzee, and in its storytelling to Jorge Luis Borges, The Raw Man is a revelatory work of fiction, and one that is impossible to forget. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.
