Sinossi
"Il mare è mio fratello" è l'opera prima di Kerouac ventenne, un romanzo scritto nel 1943 che finora si credeva perduto. Quarant'anni dopo la morte del padre della Beat Generation, il manoscritto - che qui si pubblica per la prima volta in Italia - è stato ritrovato nel suo archivio. Vi si racconta la vicenda di Wesley Martin, un uomo a cui "il mare bastava, era tutto", chiaramente ispirata alle esperienze di Kerouac stesso, imbarcato su un mercantile tra l'estate e l'autunno del 1942. Complesso ritratto di personaggi ("l'americano in via d'estinzione, lo spirito libero, l'indiano d'America, gli ultimi pionieri e gli ultimi vagabondi"), ricco di spunti, articolato nell'utilizzo dei mezzi letterari, "Il mare è mio fratello" offre un'immagine particolare dell'America degli anni Trenta e dei primi anni Quaranta, permettendo fra l'altro di seguire la nascita e la formazione di uno scrittore giovanissimo, ma già maturo e consapevole della propria forza. L'edizione, corredata da un ricco apparato fotografico, offre anche il carteggio di Kerouac con l'amico poeta Sebastian Sampas.

Πρώτη γνωριμία με Τζακ Κερουακ και δηλώνω εντυπωσιασμένη από την πραγματικά μοναδική απλότητα της γραφής του που κάνει την ανάγνωση των κειμένων του μια πραγματικά πολύ ξεχωριστή και ενδιαφέρουσα εμπειρία. Μέσα από τα κείμενα του ο συγγραφέας βρίσκεται σε μια συνεχή και διαρκή αναζήτηση. Το βιβλίο χ Leggi tutto
Ένα απολαυστικό βιβλίο, που μας μεταφέρει στην Αμερική των 30’s. Μια διαφορετική Νέα Υόρκη, πιο ανθρώπινη. Δύο νέοι άνθρωποι που ξεκινούν με ωτοστόπ για τη Βοστόνη, ώστε να μπαρκάρουν σε εμπορικό πλοίο για τη Γροιλανδία. Όλο το σκηνικό με το ξενύχτι της προηγούμενης νύχτας στα μπαρ της Νέας Υόρκης κ Leggi tutto
Mostly of interest to Kerouac superfans, this early novel was unpublished in Kerouac's lifetime. It is noticeably an early work, and the "rough draft" feeling lingers. The introduction is interesting, in that it includes journal excerpts from Kerouac's time in the merchant marine. Some of these sharp Leggi tutto
An Early Kerouac Novel Jack Kerouac (1922 -- 1969) painstakingly wrote "The Sea is my Brother", his first novel, in longhand in 1943 at the age of 21. The book predates by seven years "The Town and the City" (1950), Kerouac's first published novel. The Town and the City Published at last in 2012, "Th Leggi tutto
Το πρώτο μέρος, το μυθιστόρημα καθαυτό, είναι πολύ καλό και προμηνύει τον τυφώνα Τζακ που θα επέλθει τόσο στην αμερικανική όσο και στην παγκόσμια λογοτεχνία. Το δεύτερο μέρος είναι άκρως ενδιαφέρον τόσο ως προς τις σκέψεις του Ίδιου του Κέρουακ όσο και προς την περίπτωση Σάββας. Ο οποίος από τις επισ Leggi tutto
I remember Kerouac biographer Ann Charter arguing in the documentary King of the Beats that Kerouac could write in any form and style and that in her extensive study of the man and his work she could see the struggle for a more unique and distinct style. In the Sea is My Brother and also in Atop an
That book is a sensitively build, respectful and loving homage to this mans development into the Icon he later became. It is an early work, so don't be disappointed by his writing. It's not "on the road" yet, but if you look at it as a promise to what was later to come, you will love it! I find him
The Sea is My Brother is amongst the earliest novels ever penned by Jack Kerouac. It is a very strong novel written by a young man with much promise but this edition is filled, in my humble opinion, with too much 'filler' material. The novel itself only comprises about 40% of the actual book size. Ab Leggi tutto
