Patrick White
Patrick White (1912-1990) was born in England in 1912, when his parents were in Europe for two years; at six months he was taken back to Australia, where his father owned a sheep station. When he was thirteen, he went to school in England, to Cheltenham, “where it was understood, the climate would be temperate and a colonial acceptable.” Neither proved true, and after four rather miserable years there he went to King’s College, Cambridge, where he specialized in languages. After leaving the university he settled in London, determined to become a writer. His first novel, Happy Valley, was published in 1939 and his second,
The Living and the Dead, in 1941. During the war he was an RAF Intelligence Officer in the Middle East and Greece. After the war he returned to Australia.
Gilbert e Eirene: inglese lui, orfano in fuga dall’Europa devastata dalla seconda guerra mondiale; inglese di madre greca ed egocentrica lei.Due ragazzini allo sbando, sullo sfondo di un’Australia sconosciuta e insidiosa per degli stranieri senza guida e tutela. Conosceranno le umiliazioni scolastiche, la solitudine e un amore semplice e insieme complesso, figlio dei loro travagli interiori, disperato e tenero come loro.L’ultimo romanzo di uno dei più grandi narratori del Ventesimo secolo, l’autore di L’occhio dell’uragano e Premio Nobel 1973 per la letteratura. Un’opera totale, in cui il flusso di coscienza dei personaggi, la cura estrema dei dettagli, l’attenzione spasmodica al trascorrere del tempo, e l’esplorazione dei segreti e delle emozioni famigliari, fanno emergere una piccola epopea di vita quotidiana, dove ciò che può sembrare banale e dimesso diventa momento rivelatore di quella verità esistenziale che ama sempre nascondersi.
