Maylis De Kerangal

"Simons hjärta färdades mot en annan del av landet, hans njurar, lever och lungor spreds till andra platser, var på väg till andra kroppar."

Efter en tidig morgon vid havet är tre surfälskande ungdomar på väg hem till Le Havre. Plötsligt sladdar deras van och en av surfarna, Simon 19 år, omkommer. Den tragiska olyckan är inledningen till boken, men också en vändpunkt för berättelsen. Efter att Simons föräldrar godkänt sonen som donator, får vi följa organen när de ger nytt liv.

I Coca, en fiktiv stad i dagens Kalifornien, bestämmer sig den storhetsvansinnige borgmästaren för att skapa en bro, ett landmärke för den lilla intetsägande staden omgiven av vatten och skog. Människor av alla de slag och yrken reser till det prestigefyllda brobygget, stadens väg mot moderniteten. Men platsen kommer att forma dem som kommer dit, precis som naturen har format den. En roman där maskiner, människor och miljö möts i drömmen om en bro.

Maylis de Kerangal (f. 1967) är fransyska, uppväxt i Le Havre, och har en bakgrund som författare och förläggare av barnböcker. Den prisbelönta och kritikerrosade "Drömmen om en bro" är hennes sjätte bok, och den första som översätts till svenska. Hösten 2015 utkom ytterligare en roman, "Att hela de levande", i svensk översättning.

"[E]n svulstig roman med så musikaliskt och modigt språk att den hisnande spänningen snarare hörs än läses." HÖGSTA BETYG (4*/4*) I TELERAMA

"Författaren skriver i långa meningar som plöjer fram över sidorna och håller min uppmärksamhet i ett järngrepp. Vartenda ord (och de är många) är läsvärt och texten präglas av ett rikt bildspråk, till brädden fyllt av metaforer och liknelser." Lyrans noblesser, bokblogg

Într-o duminic? diminea??, înainte de ivirea zorilor, trei adolescen?i pleac? la o partid? de surfing. În timp ce se întorc acas? epuiza?i, b?ie?ii sunt implica?i într-un accident de ma?in? fatal pe un drum pustiu. Doi dintre ei poart? centura de siguran??; unul trece prin parbriz. Medicii îl declar? în moarte cerebral? la scurt timp dup? sosirea la spital, dar inima îi bate în continuare.
Ac?iunea romanului S?-i repar?m pe cei vii se desf??oar? pe parcursul urm?toarelor dou?zeci ?i patru de ore ?i are în centru transplantul de inim? care va lua via?a unui tân?r ?i i-o va d?rui unei femei aflate pe moarte. Într-o proz? splendid? ?i contemplativ?, cartea examineaz? sentimentele cele mai profunde ale tuturor celor implica?i pe m?sur? ce se str?duiesc s? fac? fa?? unor decizii care implic? via?a ?i moartea.
La fel de îndr?zne? din punct de vedere stilistic pe cât este de exploziv din punct de vedere emo?ional, S?-i repar?m pe cei vii i-a fascinat pe cititorii ?i pe criticii francezi deopotriv?, fiind salutat drept opera de referin?? a unei noi stele literare. Cu precizia unui chirurg ?i limbajul unui poet, Maylis de Kerangal a adus o contribu?ie major? atât medicinei, cât ?i literaturii, într-o poveste dramatic? despre durere, speran?? ?i supravie?uire.
„S?-i repar?m pe cei vii este un roman neobi?nuit ?i adesea seduc?tor... Frazele lungi ?i dinamice ale lui Maylis de Kerangal pulseaz? în ritm sistolic, cu fiecare b?taie punctat? de o virgul?; sunt înc?rcate de intensitate emo?ional? ?i de imagini flamboaiante.“
The New York Times
„Un roman stratificat, meditativ... Personajele par nu atât crea?ii fictive, cât oameni reali, pu?i în lumin? de limbajul bogat, care merge de la cel medical la cel filosofic...
Acest roman este o explorare nu doar a mor?ii, ci ?i a vie?ii, a umanit??ii ?i a fragilit??ii.“
New York Times Book Review

ÿn spatele u?ilor ornamentate de la num?rul 30, rue du Métal din Bruxelles, dou?zeci de studen?i ÿ?i ÿncep ucenicia ÿn arta picturii decorative ? arta ?arlatanilor ?i falsificatorilor, ÿn care fiecare nod dintr-o scândur? ascunde un secret ?i fiecare vini?oar? dintr-un bloc de marmur? spune o poveste.

Printre ace?ti studen?i se num?r? Kate, Jonas ?i Paula Karst. ÿmpreun?, ÿntr-un an de studiu care nu le las? nici un r?gaz, ÿnva?? tehnicile de reproducere prin pictur? a materialelor, fie acestea de origine animal?, vegetal? sau mineral?, iar intensitatea acelei perioade ? ore lungi petrecute ÿn atelier, conversa?ii, certuri, petreceri, pove?ti de iubire ? va cimenta o prietenie ce va d?inui mult timp dup? absolvire.

Pe Paula, ini?ierea ÿn tehnica trompe l??il o va purta ÿnapoi ÿn timp, la amintirile din copil?rie ?i mult mai departe, ÿn epocile geologice când s-au format materialele pe care vrea s? le st?pâneasc? ÿn cele mai fine detalii. De la institutul bruxellez unde-?i ÿncepe studiile pân? la studiourile romane Cinecittÿ ?i, ÿn cele din urm?, pe?terile de la Lascaux, experien?ele acumulate de Paula vor transcende arta, dezv?luind treptat ceva din lumea ei interioar? ?i dorin?ele secrete, de neatins ale inimii sale.

Kuvitteellisessa Cocan kaupungissa Kaliforniassa rakennetaan suurta siltaa. Työmaalla kuhisee monien maiden ja mantereiden kansalaisia, miehiä ja naisia: insinöörejä, suunnittelijoita, koneenkäyttäjiä, kaapeliasentajia. Työmaa on kuin massiivinen sulatusuuni, Amerikka pienoiskoossa.

Suuren mittakaavan romaani on kirjoitettu amerikkalaisten seikkailuelokuvien tyyliin. Se seuraa kymmeniä päähenkilöitään myyttisen Kalifornian kultamailla kesyttämässä luontoa, taivuttamassa sitä ihmisen tahtoon. Hankaluuksitta ei jättihanke etene. Sitä uhkaavat vuorollaan työläisten lakot, ympäristökiistat, onnettomuudet, sabotaasi, jopa rakkausjutut.

Sillan synty tekee vaikutuksen rikkaalla ja maalailevalla kielellään ja ylitsepursuavalla sanavarastollaan. Sillanrakennusinsinöörien
teräksestä ja lasista syntyy runoutta. De Kerangal liikkuu eri rekistereissä vaivatta, keksii omia sanoja, nopeuttaa ja hidastaa kerrontaa mielensä mukaan - luo maailmoja kielellä.

Seven interconnected stories orbit a central novella to create a collection of tales which resonate with the sound of women's voices.A widower struggles to erase his wife's voice from his answering machine. Two old friends meet after a period apart and find they can no longer fit into their habitual rhythm. A woman records herself reading a poem for two sisters who obsessively collect voice recordings.At the heart of Canoes is "Mustang", in which a woman moves with her family to the suburbs of Denver, where her partner takes up a research post. As her husband and child fit seamlessly into their new lives, she remains aloof, consumed by a feeling of not belonging, and observing as her loved ones change and adapt to these alien surroundings.In this moving and deeply poetic collection, Maylis de Kerangal casts light on the balance between life and death, exploring the traces we leave upon each other's lives and creating space for women of all ages to be heard.Translated from the French by Jessica Moore

"One of contemporary fiction's most gifted sentence builders" Beejay Silcox, GuardianBehind the ornate doors of 30, rue du M tal in Brussels, twenty students begin their apprenticeship in the art of decorative painting - that art of tricksters and counterfeiters, where each knot in a plank of wood hides a secret and every vein in a slab of marble tells a story.Among these students are Kate, Jonas and Paula Karst. Together, during a relentless year of study, they will learn the techniques of reproducing materials in paint, and the intensity of their experience - the long hours in the studio, the late nights, the conversations, arguments, parties, romances - will cement a friendship that lasts long after their formal studies end.For Paula, her initiation into the art of trompe l' il will take her back through time, from her own childhood memories, to the ancient formations of the materials whose depiction she strives to master. And from the institute in Brussels where her studies begin, to her work on the film sets of Cinecitt , and finally the prehistoric caves of Lascaux, her experiences will transcend art, gradually revealing something of her own inner world, and the secret, unreachable desires of her heart.A coming-of-age novel like no other: an atmospheric and highly aesthetic portrayal of love, art and craftsmanship from the acclaimed author of Birth of a Bridge and Mend the Living.Translated from the French by Jessica Moore

Mend the Living is the story of a heart transplant, centred around Simon Limbeau, the boy whose heart is given, and his family. Taking place within exactly twenty-four hours, the novel traces the thrill of an early-morning winter surf session, the terrible accident that follows, and all the urgency and compassion of the hospital workers, and shock and grief of Simon's family as they negotiate the question of organ donation. Maylis de Kerangal offers glimpses into the thoughts and affective lives of each of the characters: Simon, at the core of the novel; Marianne and Sean, his parents, who have been estranged for some months; Revol, the chief surgeon, music enthusiast, and studier of hallucinogenic plants; Cordelia Owl, the capable new nurse who is reeling from a night spent with her former lover; Thomas Remige, the hospital coordinator, an opera singer, and aficionado of goldfinches; Virgilio, the silvertongued, light-fingered surgeon; Juliette, Simon's girlfriend, who is building a labyrinth inside a Plexiglass case, waiting for Simon's call.The novel also touches upon Claire, the recipient of the heart, whose life has been limited by her condition, who reflects philosophically on what it means to have someone else's heart beating inside you.Weaving from hospital corridors to the wild waves of the Atlantic, from the narrow streets of Paris to the countryside in Algeria where goldfinches still sing, from the most intimate details of grief within a car in Le Havre to universal considerations of science, compassion, and humanity, Mend the Living is a powerful and vast-ranging book. In her trademark masterful use of language, playing with pacing and tension and a vibrant vocabulary, Maylis de Kerangal gives us a metaphysical adventure that is at once both collective and intimate.

Coca, Southern California. A small town on a wild river, at the margins of the red-rocked desert and the forest where the last of the state's Native Americans still make their home.When Boa, the charismatic new mayor, decides to put Coca on the map, he plans a monumental new project: a six-lane bridge, two hundred metres high, designed and destined to catapult the city into the third millennium.Workers from across the globe flock to California: to earn a living, to escape their pasts, to bear witness to man's mastery of nature. But the project's majestic scope has no regard for the legacy of this ancient land, and within this monochrome Babel festers a very human cocktail of fears and passions. At once timeless and yet exquisitely of its moment, Maylis De Kerangal's multi-award-winning novel follows its broad cast of construction workers and architects, diggers and dreamers, as they navigate both the intricacies of their project and the depths of the human heart.Translated from the French by Jessica Moore
