Island: Collected Stories

Island: Collected Stories

Alistair MacLeod

Ove spore, lijepe priče - odlučne i rezonantne - mala su remek-djela: naizgled jednostavne, ali zapravo izrađene s ogromnom vještinom i preciznošću.

Postavljeni nasuprot nemilosrdnog krajolika Cape Bretona u Novoj Škotskoj, svi se bave složenošću i misterijama ljudskog srca, neraskidivim vezama i nepremostivim ponorima između muškarca i žene, roditelja i djeteta. Utopljene u sjećanje i mitove te isprane slanom vodom i krvlju duge bitke s kopnom i morem, ove priče slave strastvenu povezanost sa svijetom prirode i kontinuitet generacija suočenih s tranzicijom, suočenih s ljubavlju i gubitkom. Kao što John McGahern kaže u svom elokventnom predgovoru: 'djelo ima veličinu, osjećaj, intelekt, viziju, veliku otvorenost i velikodušnost, čak i staromodnu udvornost. Priče sigurno stoje izvan mode dok odražavaju duboku promjenu'. Objedinjujući svu kratku prozu Alistaira MacLeoda i uključujući dvije dosad nesabrane priče, Otok predstavlja veliko postignuće jednog od najboljih svjetskih pripovjedača.
