Relation As Books Emmaus

“Abbiamo tutti sedici, diciassette anni ma senza saperlo veramente, è l'unica età che possiamo immaginare: a stento sappiamo il passato”. Con queste parole inizia il nuovo romanzo di Alessandro Baricco, Emmaus. Il titolo evoca l'episodio narrato nel vangelo di Luca in cui due discepoli incontrano Gesù Risorto, senza riconoscerlo, sulla strada che va da Gerusalemme a Emmaus. I protagonisti sono quattro ragazzi diciassettenni divisi tra scuola e parrocchia. La città che fa da sfondo alla vicenda, pur non essendo nominata, sembra proprio essere Torino.
Di Emmaus Domenico Starnone ha scritto: ‟Un libro su com’è difficile vedere davvero, in tutti i tempi e in questo nostro tempo.”

Article Containing Books Emmaus

Emmaus is the first novel by Alessandro Baricco brought to this country by McSweeney's, although it is far from his debut. Translated from the original Spanish by Ann Goldstein, this version has been given a fresh coat of paint for a new audience with beautiful cover art from Robyn O'Neil.This scant novel will satisfy readers that appreciate some biblical imagery with their smut. While sex is central to much of the action of this novel, issues of class and faith form the thematic heart of the

Emmaus by Alessandro Baricco, translated from Italian by Ann Goldstein is a coming-of-age novel. It features an anonymous teenaged narrator and his three friends, Luke, Bobby and the Saint. The fears, impulses, confusion and anxiety characteristic of adolescence are complicated for these boys by their thorough entrenchment into Catholicism with all its repression, sin and the terror of punishment. The four come into contact with a world vastly different from theirs when they meet Andre, an

Maybe I would have enjoyed this more if I had been raised Catholic. Feeling guilty sucks. Being corrupted is not the best. Faith is a fraught proposition. I don't know. Was there more in here?

Baricco's characteristically luminous prose always goes by too quickly. Feels very similar to The Virgin Suicides. Not sure about this story; merits a re-read.

The book reads like an anti-coming-of-age story of the 1980s. The usual group of young boys in love with the unattainable free-spirited girl. At the end, though, it suddenly becomes more like "The Last American Virgin (1982)" gone even worse. (By the way, that movie rocked!)After "Silk" and this, Baricco is my new hero.

Trying to care about the characters was very difficult. The writing felt like it was trying too hard.
