Kazuo Ishiguro
À propos de cet audio
The extraordinary novel from the author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize–winning The Remains of the Day.
The Romans have long since departed, and Britain is steadily declining into ruin. But at least the wars that once ravaged the country have ceased.
The Buried Giant begins as a couple, Axl and Beatrice, set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen for years. They expect to face many hazards—some strange and other-worldly—but they cannot yet foresee how their journey will reveal to them dark and forgotten corners of their love for one another.
Sometimes savage, often intensely moving, Kazuo Ishiguro’s first novel since Never Let Me Go is about lost memories, love, revenge and war.

In 1893 Sherlock Holmes and Henry James come to America together to solve the mystery of the 1885 death of Clover Adams, wife of the esteemed historian Henry Adams--a member of the Adams family that has given the United States two Presidents. Clover's suicide appears to be more than it at first seemed; the suspected foul play may involve matters of national importance.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 865
This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 63
Across two parallel narratives, Murakami draws listeners into a mind-bending universe in which Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect. What emerges is a novel that is at once hilariously funny and a deeply serious meditation on the nature and uses of the mind.

From the internationally acclaimed Haruki Murakami comes a mind-bending new collection of short stories, all touching beautifully on love and solitude, childhood and memory...all with a signature Murakami twist. The eight stories in this new book are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. From memories of youth, meditations on music, and an ardent love of baseball, to dreamlike scenarios and invented jazz albums, together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world.

“The Buried Giant is remarkably different from anything he’s written before, a ‘western-cum-samurai-cum-fantasy novel,’ as he puts it, that is at once an exploration of memory and the way it deceives, a comment on religion and the way it divides, and a study of how personal and societal resentment is passed down from one generation to the next—a topic with modern-day resonance.” (Mark Medley, The Globe and Mail)
“Kazuo Ishiguro is a remarkable novelist, both for the quality of his work—because his novels share a careful, precise approach to language and to character—and because he does not ever write the same novel, or even the same type of novel, twice. . . . Fantasy and historical fiction and myth here run together with the Matter of Britain, in a novel that’s easy to admire, to respect and to enjoy. . . . The Buried Giant does what important books do: It remains in the mind long after it has been read, refusing to leave, forcing one to turn it over and over. . . . Ishiguro is not afraid to tackle huge, personal themes, nor to use myths, history and the fantastic as the tools to do it. The Buried Giant is an exceptional novel.” (Neil Gaiman, The New York Times Book Review)

One Big Meh
I have loved everything I’ve read of Ishiguro, but I would not recommend this book to anyone but the absolute die-hard fan. Unless you have a soft spot for the Arthurian legends and intend on a deep-dive of literary criticism, you won’t find much here. It is undoubtedly well written, and perhaps even well crafted. Nonetheless, I found it exceedingly tiresome. It even finds a way to make the slaying of a dragon tedious. Sorry, Mr. Ishiguro.

An Adventure In Post Arthurian Briton
January 2022 | 4/5
We open with a lovely married couple, Axle and Beatrice, they live in a communal hovel, in the back room, far from the fire and not allowed a candle. The community all seem to have lost their memories, but Axel thinks he remembers a time when they had a fire, and a candle, and a son.
So, Axel, and his princess, set out to go find their child. This is a post Arthur Briton with ogres, and monsters, and dragons, and faeries, and they encounter even more peril in the journey. But they also make some friends, such as Sir Gwaine, Arthur's nephew, and a noble Knight at that.
The story is beautiful, with twists and turns, and an ending completely upto the reader to decide.
If you enjoyed The Last Unicorn, or The Hobbit, or Disney's Sword in the Stone, you will find comfort here.

Not the standard one would expect from kazuo ishig
Struggled throughout. Not the standard one come to expect from kazuo ishiguro. It was an audio book for me. Maybe it's the narration that didn't impress
