A Palestinian prisoner’s memoir of thirty years’ captivity, and a
love letter to the wall that encircles and comforts him This is the
story of a wall that somehow chose me as the witness of what it
said and didNasser Abu Srour grew up in a refugee camp in the West
Bank, on the outskirts of Bethlehem. As a child, he played in its
shadow and explored the little world within the camp. As he grew
older, he began questioning the boundaries that limited his
existence.Later, sentenced to life in prison, with no hope of
parole, he found himself surrounded by a physical wall. This is the
story of how, over thirty years in captivity, he crafted a new
definition of freedom. Turning to writings by philosophers as
varied as Derrida, Kirkegaard and Freud, he begins to let go of
freedom as a question that demanded an answer, in order to preserve
it as a dream.The wall becomes his stable point of reference, his
anchor, both physically and psychologically. As each year brings
with it new waves of releases of prisoners, he dares to hope, and
seeks refuge in the wall when these hopes are dashed. And, in a
small miracle, he finds love with a lawyer from the outside – while
in her absence, the wall is his solace and his curse.A testimony of
how the most difficult of circumstances can build a person up
instead of tearing them down, The Tale of a Wall is an
extraordinary record of the vast confinement and power of the mind.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
