Lacná kniha Divisadero
It is the 1970s in Northern California. A farmer and his teenage daughters, Anna and Claire, work the land with the help of Coop, the enigmatic young man who lives with them. Theirs is a makeshift family, until they are riven by an incident of violence - of both hand and heart - that 'sets fire to the rest of their lives'. Anna will come to rest in the calming landscape of south-central France. There, she delves into the story of a writer who, decades earlier, lived in the isolated house she now occupies - a story that circles around the 'raw truth' of her own life, the one she's left behind but can never truly leave. And while Anna's story lies at the heart of the novel, the narrative sweeps across the terrain of the lives of Coop and Claire as well, each of them managing to find some foothold in a present rough-hewn from the past. This is a story of possession and loss, about the often discordant demands of family, love, and memory. Written in the sensuous prose for which Michael Ondaatje's fiction is celebrated, Divisadero" is the work of a master story-teller."

Lacná kniha Divisadero (-50%)
Dlho očakávaný román Michaela Ondaatjeho Divisadero zavedie čitateľa do Nevady, San Francisca a Francúzska. Podáva v ňom príbeh rodiny, v ktorej žijú dve nevlastné sestry s otcom a rodinným pomocníkom. Formou koláže načrtáva ďalšie osudy svojich hrdinov, roztrúsených do rôznych kútov sveta. Je to román o vášni, stratách, láske, rodine a spomienkach, ale aj o tom, že minulosť stále nosíme v sebe, nemožno na ňu zabudnúť. Hranice ľudí rozdeľujú, a zároveň spájajú: aj keď ich život oddelí a zaveje na rôzne strany, predsa zostávajú naveky spojení.

Divisadero
Kaliforniában vagyunk, a hetvenes években. Anna és Claire nem testvérek, de testvérként nőnek fel magányos apjukkal és a szomszéd árva fiúval, Cooppal. Amikor egy feloldhatatlan konfliktus következtében a család szétrobban, Anna elmenekül, és csak évek múltán látjuk viszont Franciaországban, ahol egy költő életét tanulmányozza. Coop is otthagyja a környéket, jó időre eltűnik. A sodródó szereplők életét véletlen találkozások, szerelmek alakítják, a történetek az emlékezés homályából bontakoznak ki és oda is merülnek el. Anna például új francia ismerősében, véletlen találkozásukban a személytelenséget szereti - a vándoréletet élő férfiban magára ismer, és az ő emlékein keresztül jut el igazán kutatásának tárgyához. Coop is fogódzót keresve vándorol: kaszinóról kaszinóra jár, rejtőzködik, menekül. Megrázó, mégis romantikus történetük felemelő példázata annak, hogy a jövőnket kikerülhetetlenül meghatározza múltunk.
Michael Ondaatje neve mintha egy életre egybeforrt volna Az angol beteggel, pedig nem ez az egyetlen elsőrangú műve. Divisadero című kötetében hasonlóan keveredik a jelen a múlttal: a szereplők életének minden pillanatát áthatja személyes múltjuk, az emberöltőkkel korábbi történelem és a szenvedélyes vágy.
A Divisadero utcanév San Franciscóban, spanyolul elválasztást jelent, de magaslati pontot is jelöl: olyan helyszínt, ahonnan a regény szereplői egymást szemlélhetik, mi pedig őket.
"Felejthetetlenül gyönyörű. A Divisadero páratlanul gazdag élményt kínál olvasóinak... És újfent igazolja, hogy Michael Ondaatje-nak költői történetmesélésben nincs párja." (Washington Post)
