Iz prve ruke

Iz prve ruke

Joyce Cary

Roman Džojs Keri prati Galija Džimsona, ekscentričnog i nekonvencionalnog umetnika u Londonu. Priča je ispričana u prvom licu, kroz Galijev živahan, duhovit i haotičan glas, otkrivajući njegovu opsesiju umetnošću i sukob sa društvenim normama.

Guli, stariji slikar koji živi u siromaštvu, posvećen je stvaranju monumentalnog umetničkog dela, murala inspirisanog Biblijom, uprkos finansijskim problemima i pravnim teškoćama. Roman prati Gulijeve avanture dok se bori sa sopstvenom neodgovornošću, manipuliše prijateljima i poznanicima i izbegava dužnike. Njegov odnos prema umetnosti je strastven, ali destruktivan - on uništava stare slike i krši zakon u svojoj težnji ka savršenstvu. Ključni likovi uključuju Saru, njegovu bivšu suprugu, i Nosija, mladog obožavaoca koji podržava Gulijevu viziju. Roman istražuje napetost između umetničke slobode i društvenih očekivanja, prikazujući Gulija kao genija i buntovnika, ali i kao tragično nesposobnog da se uklopi u svet.

Kroz humor i ironiju, Keri stvara portret umetnika koji žrtvuje sve za svoju viziju, dok njegova nepredvidiva priroda izaziva smeh i sažaljenje. Roman se bavi temama kreativnosti, morala i prolaznosti, ističući Gulijevu neukroćenu strast prema umetnosti, čak i po cenu samouništenja.
