Pod wulkanem

by: Malcolm Lowry (author)

4.00 5

"Pod wulkanem" to mistrzowska opowieść o ostatnim dniu życia Geoffreya Firmina, brytyjskiego konsula w Cuernavace (tu pod indiańską nazwą Quauhnahuac) w Meksyku. Tego dnia w zaduszki 1938 roku konsul dochodzi do kresu drogi znaczonej pogrążaniem się w alkoholizm i poszukiwaniem absolutu. Niezwykła sceneria, gęsta atmosfera, splątane uczucia, nagromadzenie wizji, halucynacji wszystko to przenika czytającego do głębi. Powieść odczytywana jest jako nieporównywalna ewokacja skrajnego alkoholizmu, jako mistrzowska synteza mitów meksykańskich, chrześcijańskich i żydowskich, ale też jako alegoria upadku świata.

I know I once said that I could listen to John Lee read the phone book. Although I'm not saying that listening to his narration of Under the Volcano is the same as listening to a recitation of a directory listing, I think I understood and enjoyed this book about the same amount. The story is the f...

If you want a rich, modernist epic that infuses cinematic forms and mythological references into a day in the life of an anti-hero but don't want to kill yourself with Ulysses, try Under the Volcano. You won't die. You'll just get headaches, in a good way.

text Under the Volcano

I was initially quite disconcerted by the novel's style. Narration freely mixed with stream-of-consciousness, leaps in time, shifting points of view -- all this I quickly adjusted to, but what took me longer was the highly literary artifice of the language, the erudite vocabulary and diction, the om...
