Oproštajni udarac

Oproštajni udarac

Marguerite Yourcenar

Der Kurzroman „The Parting Shot“ des großen Schriftstellers ist eines dieser großartigen Werke, in denen die Prägnanz der Aussage und die Kürze der Form die Fülle des Textes und die Leidenschaft seiner Bedeutungen zum Ausdruck bringen.

Der Erste Weltkrieg und die Oktoberrevolution bilden den historischen Rahmen dieser Arbeit, sie erstreckt sich jedoch auch auf den Spanischen Bürgerkrieg, in den Eric ebenfalls verwickelt war, konsequent in seiner „Kastenfeindschaft gegenüber den Bolschewiki“. Und genau dort, wie in einem verdunkelten Spiegel, bewegt sich die Hauptfigur souverän mit der Klarheit, die das Böse besitzt. Sofia, die sich für die andere Seite entscheidet, beendet ihr Leben auf tragische Weise – und der letzte Schlag, den Eric ihr mit einem Revolverschuss versetzt, bringt die innere Spannung des Werks auf einen Höhepunkt.
