Sinossi
«Biliardo alle nove e mezzo», che si svolge in un'unica giornata, accoglie in sé una serie di flashback a coprire cinquant'anni di eventi. Come la dimora dei Buddenbrook, l'Abbazia di Sant'Antonio svolge qui la funzione di realtà-simbolo: edificata dal vecchio Fähmel, distrutta dal figlio e in procinto di essere riedificata dal nipote, è l'emblema di una vicenda familiare, delle sue traversie, dei suoi dissidi, dell'incomunicabilità fra generazioni diverse, ciascuna delle quali ha un suo personale rapporto con la storia, che prima di tutto è la storia della Germania: difficile, contraddittoria, dolorosa.

Memento quia pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris, as we are quite clearly told. Dust the mortar leaves behind, deeds of mortgage, houses and estates, a statue in a peaceful suburb where children as they play might ask, ' And who ' s that man?'
Heinrich Böll is my HERO! His books have their own bookshelf in my home and hold a special place in my heart. Billiards at Half-Past Nine was the first book I read by him during my university years and its effect was instant and enormous. Afterwards I read his books in a row one after the other. Böll' Leggi tutto
Αργόσυρτος ρυθμός, πυκνή γραφή που σε παρασέρνει σχεδόν σε λήθαργο αλλά στην πραγματικότητα πετυχαίνει ακριβώς το αντίθετο: Την καταβύθιση στον κόσμο των πρωταγωνιστών του μυθιστορήματος που περιλαμβάνει αποξένωση, αμφιβολίες, ενοχές, πάθη, πληγές, όλα αυτά που δύο συνεχόμενοι παγκόσμιοι πόλεμοι και Leggi tutto
It is amazing how a prose can be so effortlessly beautiful and meaningful at the same time! It is also such a rarity… The novel takes place during one day in 1958 in Cologne. It is focused on the 3 generation of the family of architects getting to grips with the trauma inflicted on them by their com Leggi tutto
Όσο διάβαζα αυτό το βιβλίο, μία φράση είχα στο μυαλό μου : "Στο Βερολίνο τίποτα δεν είναι περισσότερο ορατό από αυτό που προσπαθείς να εξαφανίσεις" Δύσκολο βιβλίο λόγω της συνειρμικής γραφής και των διαφορετικών προσώπων που αφηγούνται χωρίς να είναι πάντα ξεκάθαρο αμέσως ποιος μιλάει εκείνη τη στιγμ Leggi tutto
Μπιλιάρδο στις εννιάμισι, κι όλα αρχίζουν και τελειώνουν στην διάρκεια μιας μέρας, στο ημερολογιακό πρόγραμμα της σελήνης για κάποιο, ένα και μοναδικό μερονύχτι. Κι ήταν όλοι εκεί, όλοι, δεν έλειπε κανείς, είχαν όλοι παλέψει την μοίρα για να βρεθούν στην τραγική συνάντηση των αλησμόνητων αναμνήσεων κ Leggi tutto
