Krátky popis
For twenty-five years, a solitary American novelist has been
writing at the desk she inherited from a young poet who disappeared
at the hands of Pinochet's secret police, one day a girl claiming
to be the poet's daughter arrives to take it away, sending the
writer's life reeling. Across the ocean, in the leafy suburbs of
London, a man caring for his dying wife discovers, among her
papers, a lock of hair that unravels a terrible secret. In
Jerusalem, an antiques dealer slowly reassembles his father's
study, plundered by the Nazis from Budapest in 1944. Connecting
these stories is a desk of many drawers that exerts a power over
those who possess it or give it away. As the narrators of Great
House make their confessions, the desk takes on more and more
meaning, and comes finally to stand for all that has been taken
from them, and all that binds them to what has disappeared. Great
House is a story haunted by questions: What do we pass on to our
children, and how do they absorb our dreams and losses? How do we
respond to disappearance, destruction, and change? Nicole Krauss
has written a soaring, powerful novel about memory struggling to
create a meaningful permanence in the face of inevitable loss.
