Patrick O’Brian

This is the story of Richard Temple – prisoner of war, sometime adventurer, lover and artist – told with insight, empathy and drama by one of the world's master storytellers. Captive in a brutal German prison towards the end of World War II, Richard Temple has been stripped of everything that once defined him:pride, courage, his very identity have all been surrendered in a desperate bid to protect his secrets from the Nazis. But with the real Richard Temple suppressed to the point of near-extinction, a sudden respite in his torture allows him a moment of rare release, when he can lower his guard and remember who he is. Huddled in his cell, too badly beaten to move, the action of the novel takes place in the Richard’s mind as he retraces a convoluted course from an unhappy childhood, through a vague and uncertain adolescence to a complex, compromised adulthood, shot through with artistic sensibility and the myriad impulses that make a man. Patrick O'Brian's signature combination of narrative flair, intuitive sympathy and psychological insight make this a fascinating exploration of how passive resistance can be a form of courage and what it truly means to be a hero.

Az ember egyik legnagyobb kincse az emlékezés. Egy olyan nyugdíjas korú írogatónak pedig, mint a k?nyv szerz?je, már rengeteg kincs van a birtokában, hiszen alig van a jelennek olyan eseménye, amely ne juttatná eszébe a múltat. Olyan múltat, amelyet meg lehet osztani az olvasóval. A múltat el?hívó esemény lehet akár egy jégcsap megpillantása, vagy egy hír valamely disznótorról, vagy akár az unoka meseigénye, mosolya. Lehet egy szilveszteri hangulat, vagy egy a padon ül? hajléktalan, s?t, akár egy a forgalmas járdán sürg?l?d? énekesmadár, vagy egy korsóból a f?ldre l?ttyintett víz, szóval bármi, amely megragadja a figyelmet. Mindegyikük emlékeket, gondolatokat ébresztett a szerz?ben, és ezzel t?rténeteket szült. A k?nyvben t?bb t?rténet szerepel. Olyan t?rténetek, amelyek nemcsak a szerz?nek, de bárkinek segíthetnek a jelen gondjai, nehézségei k?nnyebb elviselésében. A t?rténetek ugyanis szerteágazóak, így bárki találhat k?z?ttük a gondjait (még, ha r?vid id?re is, de) elfeledtet? olvasnivalót. A gondolatok persze néha magvasak, nehezebben emészthet?k, a legt?bbsz?r viszont meseszer?ek, adomázóak, k?nnyen elsajátíthatók. ?ppen olyan változatosak, mint maga az élet, hiszen ki ne várná izgatottan az ismeretlent, a holnapot, a j?v?t, amely mindig hozhat valami újat, váratlant, és amely mindig el tud varázsolni bennünket.
