Имануел Кант

by Thomas Bernhard, Томас Бернхард, Владко Мурдаров (Translator)

Издателство БЛЕК ФЛАМИНГО ПЪБЛИШИНГ предлага на читателите пиесата на Томас Бернхард ИМАНУЕЛ КАНТ, написана през 1978 г., с която отбелязва 300-годишнината от рождението на философа.

Известно е, че философът Имануел Кант прекарва целия си живот в Кьонигсберг, където е роден. В своята провокативна пиеса Томас Бернхард обаче смело го премества във времето и го качва на презокеански параход на път за Америка, където в Калифорнийския университет ще бъде почетен и ще лекуват очите му. Наред с него е и папагалът му Фридрих, пернатата съвест на неговите познания.

About the author

Thomas Bernhard was an Austrian writer who ranks among the most distinguished German-speaking writers of the second half of the 20th century.

Although internationally he’s most acclaimed because of his novels, he was also a prolific playwright. His characters are often at work on a lifetime and never-ending major project while they deal with themes such as suicide, madness and obsession, and, as Bernhard did, a love-hate relationship with Austria. His prose is tumultuous but sober at the same time, philosophic by turns, with a musical cadence and plenty of black humor.

He started publishing in the year 1963 with the novel Frost. His last published work, appearing in the year 1986, was Extinction. Some of his best-known works include The Loser (about a student’s fictionalized relationship with the pianist Glenn Gould), Wittgenstein’s Nephew, and Woodcutters.

One of the best books I've ever read

[Bogdan · Rating 5 out of 5]

So toll und lustig! Ein fast surrealistisches und leichtes Spiel, aber selbstverständlich genial. Wie mein Freund Șahan sagt (dank ihm habe ich es gelesen), schade, dass dieses Stück allzu wenige, einschließlich Bernhards Fans, kennen und lesen.

L-am luat de pe raft crezând că e poezie, dar am avut supriza să constat că e teatru. Chiar nu mai citisem dramaturgie din facultate, așa că a picat exact la fix. Mie mi-a plăcut infantilizarea personajului Kant (sau a individului care se crede Kant) pe parcursul călătoriei sale făcute la insistențele neveste-sii, spre America. O tragicomedie de parcurs într-o dupa-masă, cu replici absurde, obsesiv repetate,cu concepte filosofice diluate în dulcele stil a lui Bernhard. E ”imperativ, imperativ, imperativ” să fie citită și doar pentru ediția din limba română, care e foarte atent îngrijită.

there is nothing redeemable about this one. one wonders, what kind of a program did Bernhard have in mind, writing on one of the most speculated figures on german history of thought? did he want to turn his image upside-down, if that was the plan, it turned to be an unsuccessful one, since bernhards criticism (of current academia) is upright ununderstandable, he provides a kind of a new Kant which has no connection to neither philosophical nor biographical material. there is this wife of kant, and a parrot motif... I don't want to go this far but it seems like bernhards wrath is directed to nowhere. his excessive display of anger is not exciting anymore

but it was kind of funny so two stars xD

tend de nouveau l'oreille vers la cage [de son perroquet]
à la Millionnaire
Vous permettrez assurément
que pour simplifier les choses
je vous appelle Madame la millionnaire
vous me dites bien Monsieur le professeur
La Millionnaire
Vous me flattez professeur Kant
Comment avez-vous réussi
à devenir aussi célèbre
Comment retenez-vous toutes vos philosophies dans votre tête
Kant
Tout ce que j'ai
jamais pensé
je l'ai enregistré dans Friedrich [le perroquet]
si je perds Friedrich
j'ai tout perdu
La Millionnaire
J'ai toujours admiré
les gens
qui écrivaient des livres
avec naturellement pour les livres de philosophie
la plus haute admiration
Kant
C'est l'effet qui importe
Celui dont l'effet traverse toute l'histoire
dans une direction
comme dans l'autre
traverse toute l'histoire de part en part
vous comprenez
La Millionnaire
Ah comme c'est exaltant
elle avale une grande gorgée

içindeki bazı tat veren cümleler hariç "kitap nasıldı?" sorusunun cevabı tam olarak arka kapakta yazıldığı gibi. kant ve gemi yolculuğunda tanıştığı insanlarla havadan sudan sohbeti. araya kant felsefi cümleler serpiştiriyor ancak bu çok nadir oluyor ve sohbeti devam ettirebilecek insanlardan yoksun. bu beklenti ile okunursa hayal kırıklığı yaşatması muhtemel. bende olduğu gibi.
