The Kites

Gary
Goodreads  
New Directions • 2017

New York Times Notable Book 2018 Romain Gary’s bittersweet final masterpiece, a novel of courage and resistance―never before in English The Kites begins with a young boy, Ludo, coming of age on a smal...small farm in Normandy under the care of his eccentric kite-making Uncle Ambrose. Ludo’s life changes the day he meets Lila, a girl from the aristocratic Polish family that owns the estate next door. In a single glance, Ludo falls in love forever; Lila, on the other hand, disappears back into the woods. And so begins Ludo’s adventure of longing, passion, and love for the elusive Lila, who begins to reciprocate his feelings just as Europe descends into World War II. After Germany invades Poland, Lila and her family go missing, and Ludo’s devotion to saving her from the Nazis becomes a journey to save his love, his loved ones, his country, and ultimately himself. Filled with unforgettable characters who fling all they have into the fight to keep their hopes―and themselves―alive, The Kites is Romain Gary’s poetic call for resistance in whatever form it takes. A war hero himself, Gary embraced and fought for humanity in all its nuanced complexities, in the belief that a hero might be anyone who has the courage to love and hope.

Román Šarkany je zaujímavým poetickým, pokojne môžem napísať, že už aj historickým románom, keďže jeho dej sa odohráva v prvej polovici 20. storočia. Napísal ho francúzsky spisovateľ Romain Gary, vlastným menom Roman Kacew, a vo Francúzsku vyšiel ešte v roku 1980. Na slovenské vydanie sme si teda museli počkať skoro 40 rokov a trúflo si na to iba malé novovzniknuté vydavateľstvo.

DROMINICKA ČÍTA

Šarkany (Romain Gary)

Nové rodinné vydavateľstvo Moniqua prináša v edícií Corneille francúzske knižné tituly, ktoré nie sú doposiaľ u nás príliš známe. Prvá kniha, ktoré vyšla v tejto edícií, má názov Šarkany a pochádza z pera jedného z najvýznamnejších francúzskych autorov menom Romain Gary. Krásna obálka a lákavá anotácia zaujali aj mňa. Rozmýšľal som, čo povedať, pretože vždy sa treba uchýliť k slovám, aby sme[...]
