Coming Up For Air ハードカバー – 1999/9/7

英語版 George Orwell (著)
5つ星のうち4.2 1,633
すべての形式と版を表示
Coming Up for Air looks back from the sprawl of thirties housing estates, new arterial roads and the domination of the motor-car, to an idealised golden England, largely rural and unmechanised when, in the nostalgia of childhood, it was 'summer...always summer'. It looks forward to the destruction wrought by air-raids (though written in 1938-1939, war is expected in 1941) leading to 'The world we're going down into, the kind of hate-world, slogan-world.. the rubber truncheons.. the posters with enormous faces' that will be Nineteen Eighty-Four. Yet, despite its sense of loss and its grim foreboding, Coming Up for Air is a very funny book, with a rich sense of the incongruity of life and people, and it is illuminated by Orwell's wry, sardonic wit in which there is not a little self-parody.

5つ星のうち5.0 excellent book from a critical period

Excellent book and one that likely captures the feeling in the country at the time before the outbreak of war. An old way of life drifting away prior to WW2, in much the same way as it must have done prior to WW1.

Il problema di Orwell è uno solo: 1984 è un capolavoro tale da eclissare tutti i suoi primi lavori letterari degli anni Trenta. Ed è veramente un peccato perchè sono veramente ben fatti.

"Coming up for air" dipinge la vita triste e piatta di George Bowling nella depressa Gran Bretagna degli anni 30, fatta di un lavoro lucrativo ma monotono, un girovita in espansione, una moglie ossessionata unicamente dal risparimio (un po' come la Dotohy di "The clergyman's daughter"), il pensiero costante e privo di reali rimorsi di storie extra-coniugali. Questo fosco quadro ha come contrappunto i ricordi di giovinezza di George nella provincia inglese di inizio Novencento, con la passione della pesca come pensiero fisso,

Il romanzo è da leggere come una triologia con "Keep the aspidistra flying" e "The Clergyman's daughter": tutti e 3 descrivono in modo lucido e spietato la Gran Bretagna nella depressione degli anni 30, con lo spettro della Seconda Guerra Mondiale che aleggia pesante come le esercitazioni aeree che sfrecciano nel cielo. Dei 3 libri, questo è certamente il più avvincente ed il più compiuto: George ha combatutto nella disumanizzante lotta di trincea della Grande Guerra, affiancando i suoi ricordi allo spettro della Seconda Guerra Mondiale ormai imminente. George attende l'inizio del conflitto nel 1941, mentre la pubblicazione del romanzo è datata 12 giugno 1939: provate solo ad immaginare il suo effetto nei lettori di Sua Maestà, raggiunti dall'invasione della Polonia neanche 3 mesi dopo (1° settembre 1939).

Ancora una volta Orwell predice il futuro, analogamente al controllo costante del Big Brother preconizzanto in 1984 e che diventa ogni giorno più attuale. Alcuni passaggi di "Coming up for air" fanno venire i brividi per la loro impietosa lucidità: ma d'altronde cosa aspettarsi da uno dei più grandi autori del Secolo Breve?

5つ星のうち1.0 Not the book that I expected and paid for.

This book is actually Animal Farm. I already own that, and was looking forward to trying something a little less famous than Animal Farm. Look for another edition of Coming up for Air. Most disappointing Amazon!!

5つ星のうち5.0 Orwell`s Midlife Crisis
2013年3月11日にカナダでレビュー済み

This story revolves around the character George Bowling. He is a forty-five year old middle class insurance salesman. Like so many other people in their forties, he suddenly starts reminiscing about his long lost youth. This was a time before the war. Bowling feels there was an innocence to British life, that has now been lost. He grew up in a small country town, and somehow everything was idyllic. This past utopian lifestyle, appears to be in complete contradiction with his current station in life.

Bowling decides to take a week long trip, and visit his hometown. In particular, he wants to visit some old fishing holes. He has great memories of fishing, throughout his youthful experience. Bowling`s goal is to recapture, all those wonderful youthful experiences. Well things do not turn out, exactly as planned.

This novel delivers on two particular fronts. First, Orwell describes the essence of life in Britain before The Great War. Second, the reader will also pick up, the English mind set of the late 1930s. Everyone is still living with the mental scars of WWI. Yet at the same time, they are forced to realize another war with Germany is looming. Orwell`s character George Bowling, is being swept along by a changing world. This is the story of an all too human reaction, many people have in their midlife.

This novel is fun to read, and highly recommended.
