Asystole
¥90.03
From the first pages it becomes apparent that Asystole is a novel about love of life in its purest, instinctive and intimate form. It’s also a novel about human faith in its existence and a desire to experience this love. Author Oleg Pavlov places his character – a boy who grows to be a man and is clearly personified by the writer’s own outlook on life – in impossible and familiar circumstances, impossible not to relate to. An adult is shaped in childhood. Chaotic, anxious and at the same time withdrawn narration seems to have no direction and no resolution. Except that the life of the people, who are in fact children of a broken destiny, is real and not much needs to be said to make it our own. Laconic and ‘to the point’ observations of Pavlov’s protagonist as he goes, are chilling at times. They pierce through flesh right to the bone – the quality only the naked truth can have. Asystole is moreover about the by-stander effect, about a disconnected and malfunctioning society and a struggle of one not to merge into the faceless mass of many. Modern, deeply thought through and heartfelt, this novel is an examination of the physics of human soul. Pavlov’s Universe has a special arrangement – if it was up to him, humans wouldn’t be allowed in it, for the privilege of being human requires living up to the title.

ncepnd cu Grdina magistrului Thomas (1995), care reprezint debutul su editorial, tefan Borbély se recomand ca un critic eliberat de marotele locale, dezinhibat de complexe endemice i dotat cu o deschidere hermeneutic n care referinele creative principale par a fi acelea germane (Nietzsche, Freud, Jung, Kafka, Hermann Hesse i Thomas Mann). Autorul tezei de doctorat De la Herakles la Eulenspiegel. Eroicul (publicat sub form de carte n 2001) reuete s depeasc handicapul speculativ att de flagrant pentru critica noastr postbelic, rmas la stadiul unui orizont de ateptare provincialist, n imposibilitate de a lua contact cu ideile critice din alte pri i a se sincroniza normal cu demersul interdisciplinaritii. Alonja deschiderii comparatiste, ca i apetitul tririi nietzscheene a ideilor fac din tefan Borbély o personalitate critic n expansiune. El este un hermeneut de descenden eliadist care cerceteaz topologia auroral a umanitii, subsumnd-o categoriei eroicului, n perimetrul creia se pot decela fundamentele culturii i civilizaiei mediteraneene. Prin opera de cercettor i culturolog avizat, tefan Borbély este un exemplu important de integrare a criticii noastre postdecembriste n sfera hermeneuticii europene.“ – Marin Mincu

Aproape c? nu a existat epoc?, de la primele texte scrise p?n? azi, ?n care s? nu se vorbeasc? despre o criz? a literaturii. Periodic, fie regimul politic, fie situa?ia economic? ori exuberan?ele filozofarde au f?cut s? fie puse semne de ?ntrebare dup? cuv?ntul ?literatur?“. Timp de cinci ani, o serie de ?nt?lniri organizate ?n spa?ii neconven?ionale la Bucure?ti (?i, de c?teva ori, ?n afara Rom?niei) a ?ncercat s? adune scriitori de toate v?rstele pentru a-i pune fa?? ?n fa?? cu publicul lor. Nici acum, dic?ionarul limbii rom?ne nu include termenul ?performare“, dar, dac? ?n cazul artelor spectacolului traducerea ?interpretare“ poate s? func?ioneze, atunci c?nd este vorba despre literatur?, limba rom?n? nu ofer? dec?t termenul ?lectur?“. Acest cuv?nt nu acoper? complexitatea unei prezent?ri ce implic? ?i publicul ?n calitate de participant activ la ?nt?lnirea cu scriitorul, ?i cu textul acestuia. Ini?iat ca un proiect de promovare a literaturii contemporane pentru un public larg, ?Poeticile cotidianului“ s-a transformat, dup? ani de ?nt?lniri s?pt?m?nale, ?ntr-un eveniment literar cu propria sa concep?ie despre literatur?: poetica rela?ional?.
