Gobi #2

Djengis khan

Rate this book
Primé par le Nordic Council Prize of Literature, le présent ouvrage propose la saga romanesque du célèbre Témujin, entré dans l'histoire ― celle de l'horreur et du génie ― sous le nom de Gengis Khan. Mettant en scène (jusque dans la disposition graphique du texte) la parole, en Asie, d'un narrateur du XIIIe siècle (aventurier chrétien devenu jongleur), T. A. Bringsvaerd ― très au-delà du roman “historique” ― compose de subtiles variations sur la figure du grand empereur mongol qui, en trente ans, étendit sa suprématie sur l'Asie, de la Chine jusqu'aux confins du Proche-Orient, fut un chef d'armée implacable, un prodigieux législateur.Avec ce livre lumineux et vif, T. A. Bringsvaerd prend place dans la lignée des grands conteurs, soulève des questions majeures de l'histoire et de la vie spirituelle orientale, signe un grand roman à la fois lyrique et primitif.

About the author

Tor Åge Bringsværd

359 books87 followers
Tor Åge Bringsværd was an author, playwright, editor, and translator and is perhaps best known for his speculative fiction. Together with long-time partner Jon Bing, he was also considered the first Norwegian author to write science fiction literature. Bringsværd regarded himself as an anarchist, which is clearly reflected in some of his works. He is also known for his distinctive style of writing, for example, his seemingly random jumps to narratives or anecdotes with no clear relationship to the main story.

No som Wolfgang er mindre gæren enn i første bok treng ikkje Jan Grønli å lese like intenst, og godt er det.
