Krátký popis
'A beautiful, compelling memoir . . . This, Raban's final work, is
a gorgeous achievement" – Ian McEwanOn 11 June 2011, three days
short of his sixty-ninth birthday, Jonathan Raban suffered a stroke
which left him unable to use the right side of his body. Learning
to use a wheelchair in a rehab facility outside Seattle and
resisting the ministrations of the nurses overseeing his recovery,
Raban began to reflect upon the measure of his own life in the face
of his own mortality. Together with the chronicle of his recovery
is the extraordinary story of his parents’ marriage, the early
years of which were conducted by letter while his father fought in
the Second World War.Jonathan Raban engages profoundly and candidly
with some of the biggest questions at the heart of what it means to
be alive, laying bare the human capacity to withstand trauma, as
well as the warmth, strength, and humour that persist despite it.
Father and Son, the final work from the peerless man of letters, is
a tremendous, continent-sweeping story of love and resilience in
the face of immense loss.
