Norman Maclean Livres

Et au milieu coule une rivière est plus qu’un roman autobiographique, c’est un récit imprégné d’une lumineuse nostalgie, un livre qui défend une philosophie inspirante. Norman Maclean y raconte son enfance dans les Rocheuses, au sein de paysages magnifiques dont chaque relief influence en profondeur ceux qui y vivent. Comme dans les romans de Pete Fromm, la pêche n’est pas qu’un simple loisir, c’est un art de vivre, une discipline, une chanson de geste qui apprend tout et qui poursuivra Norman dans toutes les étapes importantes de son existence. Préface de Robert Redford, metteur en scène du célèbre film inspiré du récit de Maclean.

Ohne Sentimentalität, mit feinem Humor erzählt der amerikanische Autor (1902-1990) von der verschwundenen Welt der Holzfäller und Ranger in den unberührten Regionen Montanas um 1920.

A comedian, singer, composer, musician, linguist, actor, author and a favourite of Sean Connery and Billy Connolly's, Norman MacLean is a living legend in the Gaelic world. Based in the Uists in the Outer Hebrides, with side trips to Glasgow, Hamburg and Amsterdam, this dotty adventure embraces frustrated sex, drugs, eightsome reels and a memorable cast of oddball three inept would-be criminals, a demented care-home resident, an ex-communicant of the Free Church of Scotland who moonlights as an enforcer, a pair of Russian weight-lifters who raise ostriches by day and mud-wrestle by night, and a formidable woman lawyer determined to cleanse the island of wrongdoing before HM The Queen arrives on her annual visit. Something akin to a mad Gaelic version of The Sopranos as directed by the Coen Brothers, this novella is a masterclass of understatement, pitch-perfect dialogue and confident narration.
