Chargement... The Bass Saxophone (1977)par Josef Škvorecký
   Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) d.v. | May 16, 2023 |  Langston Hughes Il sax basso... avete mai visto un sax basso? Lo avete mai sentito suonare? Io no, mai, non prima di aver letto il racconto omonimo. Beh, il sax basso ha DAVVERO qualcosa di affascinante, accattivante! Detto questo, il merito maggiore di questo libro è stato farmi capire che il jazz in Cechia, fin dai tempi del Protettorato nazi, è sempre stato La musica della Libertà. Per il resto aggiungo soltanto che avrei preferito meno virgole, punti e virgola, incisi, digressioni e parentesi: sono risultate davvero ubriacanti! (  ) downisthenewup | Aug 17, 2017 |  ) HarryMacDonald | Dec 10, 2012 | The Bass Saxophone had an interesting premise and occassional interesting lines, but did not resonate with me. Overall an uneven collection with flashes of brillance. ( ) rhbouchard | Aug 15, 2010 | The Bass Saxophone is set in occupied Czechoslovakia. The 18 year-old narrator is a saxophone player in a jazz band. Jazz is forbidden by the Nazis, but survives in the ghettos, the occupied countries and even in the German army. It's a sign of hope, of individuals resisting tyranny. Svorecky is writing in the late sixties, when jazz is banned again, by another totalitarian government.

The two haunting, poetic novellas that comprise "The Bass Saxophone"brilliantly evoke the comedy and sadness of life under the Nazi and Soviet dictatorships. They are prefaced by a remarkable memoir of Skvorecky's jazz-obsessed youth. Jazz is a symbol of freedom in both these novellas. In "Emoke," which is set in the shadow of the Communist regime, jazz becomes the means by which a jaded young man plots the seduction of a mysterious girl enmeshed in superstition and the occult. Spurned, but fascinated, he is drawn into her tortured existence until catapulted into the final bitter comedy. In "The Bass Saxophone" a young Czechoslovakian student living under the rule of the Nazis is lured by his love of jazz - the "forbidden music" - into secretly and dangerously playing in a German band, with bizarre and unexpected results. Written with the lyrical intensity of a great jazz performance, these two extraordinary novellas are among Skvorecky's finest works. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
