Couverture souple. Condition: Bon. Description : Numéro 2379 dans la collection Domaine étranger. Présentation en quatrième de couverture -- Quatrième roman de Toni Morrison, Tar Baby se déroule dans le cadre, coloré et moite à la fois, d'une petite île des Antilles françaises : l'Isle des Chevaliers. Là, une idylle violente et corsée va se nouer entre deux des hôtes de Valerian, le milliardaire qui a fait bâtir une somptueuse demeure au sommet d'une colline. Et c'en sera fini de la nonchalance doucereuse de ces lieux enchanteurs. On a rarement connu, pour peindre la passion des corps et des coeurs, une artiste d'une sensualité égale à celle de l'auteur de Beloved. L'écrivain Mordecai Richler ne s'y est pas trompé qui, à la parution de ce livre, a salué haut et fort l'arrivée de Toni Morrison aux premières loges de la littérature américaine de ce temps. -- . | Titre original : Tar baby | Traduction : Traduit de l'américain par Sylviane Rué.

Softcover. Condition: new. Product DescriptionA ravishingly beautiful and emotionally incendiary reinvention of the love story by the legendary Nobel Prize winnerJadine Childs is a Black fashion model with a white patron, a white boyfriend, and a coat made out of ninety perfect sealskins. Son is a Black fugitive who embodies everything she loathes and desires. As Morrison follows their affair, which plays out from the Caribbean to Manhattan and the deep South, she charts all the nuances of obligation and betrayal between Blacks and whites, masters and servants, and men and women.ReviewDeeply perceptive. . . . Return[s] risk and mischief to the contemporary American novel. -John Irving, The New York Times Book ReviewToni Morrison has made herself into the D. H. Lawrence of the black psyche, transforming individuals into forces, idiosyncrasy into inevitability. -New YorkArresting images, fierce intelligence, poetic language . . . One becomes entranced by Toni Morrisons story. -The Washington PostWrenchingly good. A terrific book. -The Philadelphia InquirerHypnotic, stunningly alive. -The San Diego Union-TribuneThat rare commodity, a truly public novel. . . . Morrisons genius lies in her uncanny ability to immerse you totally in the world she creates. -NewsweekPowerful. . . . A stunning performance. . . . Morrison is one of the most exciting living American writers. -Kansas City StarIt takes one to the sheer edge of human relationships. -VogueWise, beautiful, astonishing, absolutely breathtaking. -St. Louis Globe-DemocratReminds us again that Toni Morrison is one of the finest writers in America today. -Louisville Courier-JournalTar Babyis stupendous. Morrison is a writer of amazing skill. -Roanoke Times & WorldIts scope is grand and the interplay complex. But Morrison has the control of a skilled choreographer, with a careful eye pinned on pacing, suspense, grace, and frenzy. . . . She has an awesome lyric flair. -The Charlotte ObserverFrom the Inside FlapThe author of Song of Solomon now sets her extraordinary novelistic powers on a striking new course. Tar Baby, audacious and hypnotic, is masterful in its mingling of tones--of longing and alarm, of urbanity and a primal, mythic force in which the landscape itself becomes animate, alive with a wild, dark complicity in the fates of the people whose drama unfolds. It is a novel suffused with a tense and passionate inquiry, revealing a whole spectrum of emotions underlying the relationships between black men and women, white men and women, and black and white people.The place is a Caribbean island. In their mansion overlooking the sea, the cultivated millionaire Valerian Street, now retired, and his pretty, younger wife, Margaret, go through rituals of living, as if in a trance. It is the black servant couple, who have been with the Streets for years--the fastidious butler, Sydney, and his strong yet remote wife--who have arranged every detail of existence to create a surface calm broken only by sudden bursts of verbal sparring between Valerian and his wife. And there is a visitor among them--a beautiful young black woman, Jadine, who is not only the servant's dazzling niece, but the protege and friend of the Streets themselves; Jadine, who has been educated at the Sorbonne at Valerian's expense and is home now for a respite from her Paris world of fashion, film and art.Through a season of untroubled ease, the lives of these five move with a ritualized grace until, one night, a ragged, starving black American street man breaks into the house. And, in a single moment, with Valerian's perverse decision not to call for help but instead to invite the man to sit with them and eat, everything changes. Valerian moves toward a larger abdication. Margaret's delicate and enduring deception is shattered. The butler and his wife are forced into acknowledging their illusions. And Jadine, who at first is repelled by the intruder, finds herself moving inexo.

Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Condition: Sehr gut. Neuausgabe, 31. - 51. Tausend. 316 (4) Seiten. 19 cm. Umschlagentwurf: Isa Petrikat-Velonis. Lesetipp des Bouquinisten! Sehr guter Zustand. Also wäre das Paradies auf Erden möglich, mit Frieden unter den Menschen, ob reich, arm, schwarz oder weiß? So scheint es auf der karibischen Insel, auf die sich der alte Millionär Street mit seiner Frau und dem schwarzen Butlerehepaar Ondine und Sydney Childs zurückgezogen hat, besucht von deren wurzellos-weltläufiger Nichte Jadine - bis ein zerlumpter Fremder in das Idyll einbricht und in allen sorgsam verborgene, gefährliche Gefühle aufwühlt. Toni Morrison, malt bilder mit Worten, große bunte Gemälde, und beim Lesen oder hören dieser Worte ist es als hörte man Musik. - Toni Morrison (eigentlich Chloe Ardelia Wofford; * 18. Februar 1931 in Lorain, Ohio; 5. August 2019 in New York City war eine US-amerikanische Schriftstellerin. Sie zählt zu den bedeutendsten Vertretern der afroamerikanischen Literatur und erhielt 1993 als erste afroamerikanische Autorin den Literaturnobelpreis. . Tar Baby, 1981 (dt. Teerbaby, 1983, übersetzt von Uli Aumüller und Uta Goridis): Der Titel spielt auf die Geschichte vom Teerbaby an, einer Puppe aus Teer, die, da unbeseelt, den Gruß eines Kaninchens nicht erwidert. Das erbost dieses so sehr, dass es Teerbaby tritt. Natürlich bleibt es hängen und verfängt sich umso mehr, je mehr es sich zu befreien sucht. Diese von Sklaven aus Westafrika in die USA gebrachte Geschichte erhält dort unversehens rassistische Untertöne. Toni Morrison sieht in dem Ausdruck Teerbaby" vor allem ein Sinnbild für die schwarze Frau, die Dinge zusammenhalten kann (Interview mit Karin L. Badt 1995). Mehrmals fühlt Jadine, 25, frischgebackene Kunsthistorikerin und eins der ersten erfolgreichen schwarzen Models, sich in tatsächlichen oder vorgestellten Begegnungen von solchen Frauen, die ihrem eigenen Frauenbild entgegenstehen, bedrängt oder bloßgestellt. Und in der Mitte des Romans fällt sie in einen Sumpf, der teerartige Substanzen zu enthalten scheint, kann sich aber befreien. Doch wird die dahinterstehende Symbolik nicht weiter ausgeführt. Stattdessen schildert der Roman mit Mitteln eines echten Schmökers (eine geheimnisvolle Flucht gleich zu Beginn, eine fiktive abgelegene Karibik-Insel als Haupt-Handlungsort, daneben New York und Paris, reiche und verarmte unglückliche Menschen, die große Liebe) antagonistische Konflikte, denen Menschen aufgrund ihrer sozialen Bedingtheiten und Erwartungen in ihren engsten Beziehungen ausgesetzt sind. Es sind einige wenige Individuen, die sich fragen müssen, was ihre Identität ausmacht und ob sie authentisch handeln, und sie finden letztendlich individualistische Lösungen. .
