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.

There seems to be a secondary story happening in the background of this richly woven tale. I was hooked throughout the second half’s dialogue - which had me exersizing higher faculties to comprehend at depth.

This book has changed my life

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.

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.

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
