Descrizione libro hardcover. Condizione: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. San Francisco. 1990. North Point Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0865474060. Translated from the Spanish by Michael Bradburn Ruster and Myrna R. Villa. 221 pages. hardcover. Cover: Bruce McGaw-'Goodbye'. keywords: Literature Translated Spain . FROM THE PUBLISHER - LADY OF THE SOUTH WIND, a brilliant confessional tale of an uncontrolled and voracious passion, Introduces to English readers the literary virtuosity of Javier Garcia Sanchez. A bestseller in Spain, La dama del viento sur won the prestigious Pio Baroja Prize and was Widely hailed by Spanish critics as one of the most important, powerful, and original books in recent years, Hans Kruger, a thirty-six-year-old professional in a German explosives firm, tells his colleague Andreas Dörpfeld the story of his bizarre affair with Olga Dittersdorfa bon-bon by his sister's standards, but Hans' idealbeautiful, statuesque, and elusive. The affair elicits increasingly obsessive behavior from Hans: idiosyncrasies that reach a desperate pitch, beginning in the parking lot outside the explosives firm, where Hans parks closer and closer to Olga's yellow Volkswagen until, he admits to Andreas, his vehicle flush with hers forces her to enter her car through the passenger's door. His devotion to Olga, fueled by whiskey and cognac, becomes more and more consuming, as he re- structures his world, abandoning classical music for pop and inverting reality to refer back to the idea of Olga. With uncanny coolness, Hans charts his undoing in a narration that moves between penetrating lucidity and Inspired madness. Throughout the book's centerpieceHans' horrifying yet compelling monologueGarcia Sanchez's control never wavers as Hans, struggling desperately to make sense of his derangement, crosses without warning from sanity into the abyss and back again. Walking about the grounds of the sanitorium to which he has admitted himself, Hans reconstructs for Andreas the phenomenology of the relationship, infusing it with German romanticism, existential philosophy, and intensely intimate details about what exactly occurred between Olga and himself, thus exerting an eerie fascination that draws Andreas and the readerinto bewildered compassion and sympathy. Hans tells Andreas, I know you're uncomfortable right now, yes, I can tell how uncomfortable you are, and at the same time I'm absolutely certain that it would be entirely impossible for you to stop listening. Tension mounts when Hans returns to normal life and his unrequited passion moves inexorably toward its resolution. With pathos, humor, and insight, Garcia Sanchez unfolds a mysterious and tragic love story that explores the limits of passion and reason, presence and absence, being and nothingness. inventory #13937.
