Insomnie tome 1

Insomnia Split-Volume #1

by Stephen King

Des visions étranges peuplent les nuits insomniaques de Ralph Roberts : deux nains en blouse blanche, une paire de ciseaux à la main, de singulières auras colorées... Devient-il fou ? N'est-il pas plutôt victime d'une volonté supérieure qui lui donne des pouvoirs paranormaux ? Tandis qu'une agitation incontrôlée gagne la ville de Derry à propos d'une clinique où se pratiquent des avortements, Ralph se transforme en justicier, bien malgré lui... Stephen King réveille les forces obscures qui sommeillent au plus profond de l'esprit humain. Son Insomnie est un thriller démoniaque qui vous plonge au cœur d'une folie collective et vous étreint comme un cauchemar hallucinant. À cause de Ça, vous aviez passé de longues nuits blanches. Après Insomnie, vous ne dormirez jamais plus comme avant.

About the author

Stephen Edwin King was born the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of them. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. After Stephen's grandparents passed away, Mrs. King found work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged.

Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, THE MAINE CAMPUS. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate. He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional. He graduated in 1970, with a B.A. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums.

He met Tabitha Spruce in the stacks of the Fogler Library at the University, where they both worked as students; they married in January of 1971. As Stephen was unable to find placement as a teacher immediately, the Kings lived on his earnings as a laborer at an industrial laundry, and her student loan and savings, with an occasional boost from a short story sale to men's magazines.

Stephen made his first professional short story sale ("The Glass Floor") to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967. Throughout the early years of his marriage, he continued to sell stories to men's magazines. Many were gathered into the Night Shift collection or appeared in other anthologies.

In the fall of 1971, Stephen began teaching English at Hampden Academy, the public high school in Hampden, Maine. Writing in the evenings and on the weekends, he continued to produce short stories and to work on novels.

Neapsisprendžiu, ar skaityt antrą dalį.

Viena vertus, vertimas eilinį kartą tragiškas - toks jausmas, kad '95-aisiais nebuvo priimtina angliškus posakius ir žodžių žaismus versti ne pažodžiui, tai ir vėl vietoj cukraus pudros turime konditerio cukrų ir "galime parduoti savo fermą". Griozdų griozdas.

Plius, nežinau, ar čia dėl vertimo, ar dėl Kingo polinkio pradėti rašyti, dar tiksliai nežinant, kas nutiks, bet įspūdis toks, kad šita istorija kažkaip sunkiai lenda. Nu jau taip daugžodžiauja, nu jau taip tempia gumą, kad veikėjas užtrunka puslapį, nuo spintelės pasiima žiūronus... Man labai patinka ta Kingo maniera kartu su veikėjais po truputį aiškintis istoriją, ir suprantu, kad gal čia bandoma sulėtintai vaizduoti senukų gyvenimą, aš turiu kantrybės, come on, Molojų ištvėriau :D, bet čia kažkas ne taip.

KITA VERTUS, čia labai vaizdžiai paišoma nemigos kamuojamo žmogaus patirtis (man čia baisiausias dalykas knygoj turbūt), sutuoktinio smurtas šmėžteli nors ir trumpai, bet labai įtikinamai ir empatiškai, dar abortų tema su visais pro-choice ir pro-life niuansais, senukų gyvenimas ir romaniukai, nice nice.

Intriguoja, kas ten darosi su tom aurom (ne spoileris, nes anotacijoj minima :D ), bet ir užknisa.

Gal paskaitysiu dar 50 psl antros dalies.

Moje subjektivno misljenje je da je Nesanica Kingovo najgore djelo.
Prvom dijelu dajem nategnute 3 zvijezde. Sutra startam sa drugim dijelom i nadam se da ce mi popravit sveukupan dojam, ali nekako sumnjam u to.

Un vrai coup de cœur je l'adorais j'étais sceptique en le commençant Mais je regrette pas du tout l'histoire et prenante la plume de stephen king était fluide pas comme tous ses romans que j'ai déjà lu de lui l'histoire est captivante je voyais pas les Page défilé tellement je Je voulais savoir à la suite dans ce roman on retrouve de tout que Que ce soit dans les sentiment les actions tout etait captivant et il mérite bien le cinq étoile que je lui est mit , un vrai coup de cœur !
