Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

From the best-selling author of Longbourn, a haunting new novel of spies and artists, passion and danger, hope in the face of despair Paris, 1939. The pavement rumbles with the footfall of Nazi soldiers marching along the Champs-Elysees. A young, unknown writer--Samuel Beckett--recently arrived from Ireland to make his mark, smokes one last cigarette with his lover before the city they know is torn apart. Soon he will put them both in mortal danger by joining the Resistance . . . Through it all we are witness to the workings of a uniquely brilliant mind struggling to create a language that will express this shattered world. Here is a remarkable story of survival and determination, and a portrait of the extremes of human experience alchemized into one man's timeless art. From the Hardcover edition.

Reviews

"In this worthy successor to Longbourn , Baker skillfully captures Beckett's world, the rhythms of his bare-bones prose, and the edginess of his point of view . . . Baker details how wartime experiences provide the key to Beckett's transformation from Joyce disciple to distinctive literary voice." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Longbourn "Brilliant on every level." --USA Today "Gripping . . . Delightfully audacious . . . An absorbing and moving story about the servants at the Longbourn estate." --Diane Johnson, The New York Times Book Review "Intelligent and elegantly written . . . A touching love story." --The Wall Street Journal "Witty and richly detailed . . . Fans of Jane Austen and Downton Abbey will take particular pleasure in Longbourn, but any reader with a taste for well-researched historical fiction will delight in Baker's involving, informative tale." --People "Masterful." --The Miami Herald "A triumph: a splendid tribute to Austen's original but, more importantly, a joy in its own right, a novel that contrives both to provoke the intellect and, ultimately, to stop the heart." --The Guardian "Baker's achievement [is] a heroine whom it's impossible not to root for." --The New Yorker "Ingenious . . . Rich, engrossing, and filled with fascinating observation." --O, The Oprah Magazine From the Hardcover edition., "Jo Baker manages to offer a fresh perspective on World War II as well as an elegant imagining of one of art's most enigmatic figures." -- Sunday Express (Best Books of the Month) "An exquisitely crafted novel." -- O magazine "In this worthy successor to Longbourn , Baker skillfully captures Beckett's world, the rhythms of his bare-bones prose, and the edginess of his point of view . . . Baker details how wartime experiences provide the key to Beckett's transformation from Joyce disciple to distinctive literary voice." -- Publishers Weekly "Baker builds a convincing case for how Beckett's experiences in a world shattered by war shaped the dark, spare, tragicomic voice he developed to express the despair, absurdity, and surprising fortitude that characterize human existence." -- Heller McAlpin, LitHub "Baker's historical drama deftly explores the psyche of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Harrowing." -- Booklist "The novel perfectly captures the deprivation, the despair, and the constant, creeping fear of an occupied people." -- Red magazine (This Month's Must-Reads) From the Hardcover edition., Praise for Longbourn "Brilliant on every level." --USA Today "Gripping . . . Delightfully audacious . . . An absorbing and moving story about the servants at the Longbourn estate." --Diane Johnson, The New York Times Book Review "Intelligent and elegantly written . . . A touching love story." --The Wall Street Journal "Witty and richly detailed . . . Fans of Jane Austen and Downton Abbey will take particular pleasure in Longbourn, but any reader with a taste for well-researched historical fiction will delight in Baker's involving, informative tale." --People "Masterful." --The Miami Herald "A triumph: a splendid tribute to Austen's original but, more importantly, a joy in its own right, a novel that contrives both to provoke the intellect and, ultimately, to stop the heart." --The Guardian "Baker's achievement [is] a heroine whom it's impossible not to root for." --The New Yorker "Ingenious . . . Rich, engrossing, and filled with fascinating observation." --O, The Oprah Magazine, "It is a daring project, to enter the mind of a man known for his withdrawal and silences, but Baker succeeds triumphantly in prose that is both intimate and austere . . . Unbearably poignant . . . Though Beckett kept characteristically quiet about it after the war, the raw material is nothing short of sensational: hiding up a tree to escape the Nazis, seeing a companion throw himself from a window to escape capture, digging a roadside grave for dead German soldiers, disguising a case of explosives with potted geraniums . . . Do you need to be interested in Beckett to engage with this novel? Well, as with the Longbourn servants, if you're not, you should be, because again this is an extraordinary story that shines a light both on individuals caught up in the sweep of history and the way life is transmuted into art." -- The Guardian "Jo Baker manages to offer a fresh perspective on World War II as well as an elegant imagining of one of art's most enigmatic figures." -- Sunday Express (Best Books of the Month) "An exquisitely crafted novel." -- O magazine "A moving, beautifully written, and riveting historical novel." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Beautifully written, empathetic, and unflinching, it is very, very good . . . Longbourn threw a new light on Jane Austen's Bennet sisters, but this homage to Beckett is far more daring and courageous, diving deep into the formative shifts in the writer's psyche as he confronts the moral choices that the war posed." -- Daily Mail "In this worthy successor to Longbourn , Baker skillfully captures Beckett's world, the rhythms of his bare-bones prose, and the edginess of his point of view . . . Baker details how wartime experiences provide the key to Beckett's transformation from Joyce disciple to distinctive literary voice." -- Publishers Weekly "Baker builds a convincing case for how Beckett's experiences in a world shattered by war shaped the dark, spare, tragicomic voice he developed to express the despair, absurdity, and surprising fortitude that characterize human existence." -- Heller McAlpin, LitHub "I read Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See just before beginning this book. Both novels are sensitive, well written, with great compassion for their characters . . . A Country Road, A Tree demonstrates, in impeccable detail, that even war can become the stuff of daily life." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Baker's historical drama deftly explores the psyche of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Harrowing." -- Booklist "The novel perfectly captures the deprivation, the despair, and the constant, creeping fear of an occupied people." -- Red magazine (This Month's Must-Reads) " A Country Road, A Tree is a revelation, a joy . . . A stunning historical novel . . . We know the real Beckett better by consuming his fictional portrayal here, as though we are privy to a lost diary from his youth." -- Stuff (New Zealand) "The tension, the fear, the sheer grind of life under occupation and the toll that it takes are here. The story is beautifully paced, the research lightly worn." -- Irish Times From the Hardcover edition.
