Il bugiardo

Rate this book
Adrian Healey, studente molto poco modello, è il "bugiardo" protagonista. Lascivo, ambiguo, Healey è fedele alla sua avversione alla verità in ogni momento della vita, dalla deriva scolastica all'esperienza sulla strada, dall'Università di Cambridge ai Servizi Segreti. Sopravvissuto a un terribile momento in cui le sue chance di successo parevano annientate da mesi di prostituzione a Londra e da un arresto per spaccio di cocaina, Healey arriva a Cambridge con una reputazione da vero erotomane e un'inguaribile tendenza alla menzogna, che lo porterà alla sfida suprema con il suo tutore, unico a combattere la tendenza da falsario e a chiedergli di produrre qualcosa di originale.

کمی جالبی بود. شخصیت‌ها خیلی خوب در هم گره می‌خوردن و موقعیت مرتب پیچیده و پیچیده‌تر می‌شد. من رو سریع جذب کرد. ریتم خوبی هم داشت. فقط امان امان امان از ترجمه!
نمی‌دونم این کار اسمش همچنان ترجمه بود یا دیگه رسیده‌بود به جایی که بشه اسم بازنویسی رو روش گذاشت. اصطلاحات عامیانه و کوچه‌بازاری زبان فارسی، اون هم از نوع قدیمیش، بیش از اندازه زیاد وارد کار شده‌بود و البته مترجم در گرته‌برداری و ترجمه‌ی تحت‌الفظی هم سنگ تمام گذاشته بود و آش شله‌قلمکاری پخته بود که روی اعصاب مخاطب رژه می‌رفت. یعنی حتی استفاده از زبان عامیانه هم بصورت یکدست نبود و منِ مخاطب بین خوندن یک متن تالیفی دهه سی فارسی و یک ترجمه‌ی معمولی از یک کمدی قرن هجده ایتالیایی مونده بودم.

یک کمدی تمام عیار.
همونطور که پشت جلد خود کتاب هم نوشته ، اگر مولیر هارپاگون خسیس رو خلق کرد ، گولدونی ، للیو دروغگو رو برای ما روی صحنه آورد.
تمام اتفاقات در بستری رخ داد که خواننده از للیو متنفر نشود.
خوبی نمایشنامه این بود که صحنه هاش خیلی کوتاه بود و به طور مثال پرده نخست ، ۱۸ صحنه داشت. این موضوع روند خواندن نمایشنامه رو تسریع میکرد.

C'est burlesque, c'est n'importe quoi, c'est plutôt drôle, c'est du Goldoni.
Avec une bonne montée en puissance, des personnages à qui on a parfois envie de retourner une baffe, on regrettera seulement la fin moralisatrice un peu pourrie.

A funny play to read, as I didn’t go for it. It was there on my friend’s shelf. After re-reading some absurd plays, Carlo Goldoni and 18th. century Italian comedy doesn’t fit today very much.

So funny! The Liar is about you guessed it a liar. He is the the originator of alternative facts. So for some reason his father sent him to live with his uncle. Ten years later he goes to see Dear ol Dad and he just cant tell the truth. His servant is just aghast at the lies and his master's ability to just delve deeper and deeper regardless of the effects. The effects are hilariously cruel and real for something so old. It never fails to amaze me at how a baseless accusation can destroy a reputation. This is used to great comedic effect when coupled with naïve vanity.
