Innenansichten eines Außenseiters: Während eines einjährigen Aufenthalts in Berlin 1990/1991 verfaßte Joáo Ubaldo Ribeiro für die Frankfurter Rundschau sehr vergnügliche Kolumnen über das Leben in der nun nicht mehr geteilten Stadt. Er erzählt wunderbar leicht von seinen Eindrücken, Erfahrungen, Beobachtungen und Gedanken, die ein Brasilianer in Berlin und Deutschland zu Hochzeiten der Wende gehabt hat.
Review: Brilliant ... Lispector should be on the shelf with Kafka and Joyce Los Angeles Times A genius -- Colm Toibin Guardian A truly remarkable writer -- Jonathan Franzen Lispector's novels offer a stark counterpoint to much of modern life's focus on individual fame The Boston Globe One of the twentieth century's most mysterious writers -- Orhan Pamuk The originality of Near to the Wild Heart lies in its technique and language: self conscious, bleakly humourous, but poetic ... We now finally have a translation worthy of Clarice Lispector's inimitable style. Go out and buy it. -- JS Tennant Observer
Nobel Prize–winning author Saramago departs from his usual dense, linguistic style to write a "mischievous and thoughtful satire on ruling elites and bold dreamers, cast in the form of revisionist fairy-tale" ( Kirkus Reviews )."A man went to knock at the king's door and said, Give me a boat. The king's house had many other doors, but this was the door for petitions. Since the king spent all his time sitting at the door for favors (favors being offered to the king, you understand), whenever he heard someone knocking at the door for petitions, he would pretend not to hear . . ."Why the petitioner required a boat, where he was bound for, and who volunteered to crew for him, the reader will discover in this delightful fable, a philosophic love story worthy of Swift or Voltaire.
