Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Paul Rayment is on the threshold of a comfortable old age when a calamitous cycling accident results in the amputation of a leg. Humiliated, his body truncated, his life circumscribed, he turns away from his friends. He hires a nurse named Marijana, with whom he has a European childhood in common: hers in Croatia, his in France. Tactfully and efficiently she ministers to his needs. But his feelings for her, and for her handsome teenage son, are complicated by the sudden arrival on his doorstep of the celebrated Australian novelist Elizabeth Costello, who threatens to take over the direction of his life and the affairs of his heart. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book
Condition: Gut. 2. Auflage. 301 (3) Seiten. 20,9 cm. Guter Zustand. Wer immer noch kein Buch des Südafrikaners John Maxwell Coetzee gelesen hat, dem kann der neueste Roman des Nobelpreisträgers 2003 empfohlen werden: Zeitlupe bietet einen wundervoll lesbaren Einstieg in ein nicht immer leicht zugängliches Werk. Und es ist Coetzees erster Roman seit dem Nobelpreis, was die Erwartungen nicht gerade verringert. Auf den ersten Blick wirkt der Plot allerdings wenig aufregend: Ein 60-jähriger Mann verliert bei einem Verkehrsunfall ein Bein, verfällt in Depression, schließt mit seinem Leben ab. Dann verliebt er sich in seine Pflegerin, die erheblich jünger ist und Mann und Kinder hat, was naturgemäß Komplikationen nach sich zieht. Was das Buch aber ungewöhnlich und faszinierend macht, ist zum einen Coetzees Stil -- schnörkellos, selbstironisch, brillant --, der einen immer weiter in diese Geschichte über Verlust, Altwerden, das Mysterium der Liebe und existentielle Unbehaustheit hineinzieht. Zum anderen gibt es einen Überraschungseffekt, der das Buch mit einem Schlag verwandelt: Auf Seite 92 steht Elizabeth Costello vor Paul Rayments Wohnungstür und nistet sich in seinem Leben ein. Elisabeth -- Coetzee-Leser kennen sie bereits aus zwei anderen seiner Bücher -- ist australische Schriftstellerin, mittlerweile Anfang 70 und so etwas wie das Alter Ego des Autors. Ist Paul also bloß eine Romanfigur Elizabeths? Er ist jedenfalls verwirrt und verärgert über ihr Auftauchen und ihre hartnäckige Einmischung. Doch sie verteidigt sich: "Sie sind zu mir gekommen, mehr kann ich nicht sagen. Sie sind mir begegnet -- ein Mann ohne Zukunft mit einem kranken Bein und einer unpassenden Leidenschaft. So hat es angefangen. Wie es mit uns weitergeht, weiß ich wirklich nicht." Bei einem Autor mit weniger Klasse hätte diese postmoderne Wendung vielleicht die Geschichte zerstört oder banal gemacht. Bei Coetzee aber wird daraus ein Meisterwerk mit doppeltem Boden. Denn auch Elizabeth Costello wird zu einer Figur des -- ihres eigenen? -- Romans, kennt Einsamkeit und Leid des Alters auch aus eigener Erfahrung. Und gleichzeitig ermutigt sie Paul, ihren Slow Man, so der Originaltitel, aus seinem Schneckenhaus zu kriechen und auf seine alten Tage etwas zu wagen, auch einbeinig und unglücklich verliebt: "Werden Sie wesentlich, Paul. Leben Sie wie ein Held. Seien Sie eine Hauptfigur. Wozu sonst leben?" --Christian Stahl. - J. M. Coetzee [ku't?s??] (* 9. Februar 1940 in Kapstadt, eigentlich John Maxwell Coetzee oder John Michael Coetzee) ist ein südafrikanischer Schriftsteller. Er wurde als erster Autor zweimal mit dem Booker Prize ausgezeichnet und erhielt im Jahr 2003 den Literaturnobelpreis. . Werk: Am bekanntesten ist Coetzee für seine Romane (die nie umfangreich sind), er arbeitet jedoch auch in anderen Genres. So veröffentlichte er zahlreiche Essays, die sich häufig mit literaturtheoretischen Fragen beschäftigen. Teilweise werden die Genres Essay und Roman bei ihm auch vermischt. So ist Elizabeth Costello eine Aneinanderreihung von Vorlesungen einer fiktiven australischen Schriftstellerin, die nur durch einen losen Handlungsfaden zusammengehalten werden; in seinem jüngsten Buch Tagebuch eines schlimmen Jahres hingegen werden Essays und eine fiktive Romandlung gleichzeitig auf der selben Seite wiedergegeben. Fragestellungen, mit denen Coetzee sich in seinen Essays beschäftigt, tauchen häufig in seinen Romanen wieder auf. Einige Werke von Coetzee tragen autobiografische Züge, sind jedoch stets so stark fiktionalisiert, dass eine klare Trennung in wahre" Begebenheiten und Fiktion nicht möglich ist. Auch Coetzee selbst tritt in diesen Texten stets als Kunstfigur auf. Außerhalb seiner Literatur ist er mit Äußerungen zu seiner Person und seinen eigenen Werken sparsam, lediglich in dem von David Attwell herausgegebenen Band Doubling the Point äußerte er sich ausführlicher. Coetzee vertritt jedoch die Meinung, dass jede Literatur per se autobiografische und politische Aspekte hat. Rezeption: Schon mit seiner ersten Veröffentlichung Dusklands im Jahr 1974 gelang Coetzee der internationale Durchbruch. Seitdem sind alle seine Bücher Gegenstand zahlloser Rezensionen, Interpretationen und literaturwissenschaftlicher Arbeiten und erreichen hohe Verkaufszahlen. Auf internationaler Ebene war Coetzee niemals ein besonders kontroverser Schriftsteller, in seiner Heimat Südafrika stieß er hingegen teilweise auf Ablehnung. Seine Literatur wurde dort während der Apartheid als elitär angesehen und mit dem Vorwurf der politischen Konturlosigkeit konfrontiert. Im Ausland wurde er hingegen eher als oppositioneller Autor wahrgenommen. Teilweise wurde auch hinter der Vergabe des Nobelpreises an Coetzee im Jahr 2003 eine politische Motivation vermutet. . .
