Sinossi
La "scelta" che condizionerà per sempre la vita della giovane polacca Sophie è la più atroce che possa toccare a una donna: decidere quale dei suoi due figli vivrà. A imporgliela, la crudeltà sadica dei nazisti ad Auschwitz. La "colpa" della cattolica Sophie, invece, è quella di essere sopravvissuta: una colpa che condivide con Nathan Landau, un ebreo americano con cui, nella New York del 1947, intreccia una relazione furibonda. Ne è testimone Stingo, un giovane aspirante scrittore arrivato a New York dalla Virginia. Un libro profondamente tragico e allo stesso tempo estremamente vivace e colorato, straripante di ironia, che esplora le mille contraddizioni dell'animo umano. Postfazione di Alessandro Piperno.

I could not have made it through those evenings otherwise. But I was an abandoned reader and, besides, outlandishly eclectic, with Leggi tutto
“The landscape and the living figures of that summer, as in some umber-smeared snapshot found in the brittle black pages of an old album, had become more dusty and indistinct as time for me unspooled with negligent haste into my own middle age, yet that summer’s agony still cried out for explanation Leggi tutto
«Η επιλογή της Σόφι» είναι ένα λογοτεχνικό υπέραριστούργημα, μια εκθαμβωτική απεικόνιση της λυρικής και ισχυρής γραφής, σε συνδυασμό με μια εξίσου εκθαμβωτική παρουσίαση μιας βαθιάς και συμπονετικής κατανόησης της ανθρώπινης καρδιάς, στα θεμέλια της οποίας θάβεται και στοιχειώνει την ύπαρξη, η αύρα Leggi tutto
