AXEL
Language: English
Published by Carcanet Press, Manchester, 1989
ISBN 10: 0856358088 ISBN 13: 9780856358081
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition in English. First impression of the first edition in English. Translated from Finland-Swedish by David McDuff. ***Near fine in black cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Boards clean. No inscriptions. Pages clean. Spine tight. ***In a near fine dark burgundy-brown and cream dustwrapper that has not been price-clipped, showing the original publisher's price of £14.95. Extremities of dustwrapper slightly rubbed and creased. Some browning to the dustwrapper. No tears. Dustwrapper clean. ***224mm x 144mm. 374 pages including translator's notes to rear. ***'It is 1868, Axel's tenth birthday, a time of great famine in Northern Finland. From its first entry Axel's 'diary', with linking narrative, records the impressions of a keen-eyed, solitary observer, and brings alive a cultural and historical epoch - the last decades of Russia's colonization of Finland, the period of the awakening of Finnish national consciousness. ***Axel is in two parts. The young musician grows up, survives a mysterious illness and strives to become a violinist. In the background hovers the Mephistophelian Dr. Wargentin, the family doctor, sowing in him a sense of defeat, a 'spiritual disability'. The brooding musical and literary milieu comes to life. Social conflict is near. ***Bereavement and disappointment give way in 1900 to a new beginning. Axel admires Sibelius as creator of a music which can reconcile loneliness and common experience, and bring spiritual renewal to the new century. They meet and Axel's search for meaning and an ideal becomes linked with the unfolding of Sibelius's musical genus. The story of Sibelius's composition of the Fifth Symphony against the background of the World War, the October Revolution, the Finnish Civil War and struggle for independence is told in terms of an intimate family chronicle. ***Bo Carpelan has an exceptional grasp of the period he describes and of its music. His novel explores the intentions of the culture, seemingly 'national' in inspiration, yet decisively international in style an content - that was created in Finland in the early years of our century.' ***'Baron Axel Carpelan (1858-1919) was Bo Carpelan's great-uncle. Jean Sibelius found in him his most responsive audience and critic. He dedicated the Second Symphony to him. Axel, the fictional 'diary of a life', unfolds the friendship of these gifted men. It is a history and a novel, rooted in the traditions of Proust, Mann and Musil and portraying in detail a vanished world that returns to haunt the contemporary imagination.' (Quotes from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the first edition in English in its original dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
