Esta es la historia de Nissen Piczenik, un comerciante de corales de la pequeña ciudad de Progrody. Enamorado de los corales, criaturas del pez original Leviatán, olvida el mundo a su alrededor y sólo la nostalgia ocupa su corazón: nostalgia del padre de los corales, nostalgia del mar. Sin embargo, cuando un comerciante de corales falsos se instala en la ciudad vecina, el protagonista cae en la tentación de comprar algunos y mezclarlos con los suyos. Una vez más Joseph Roth pone su escritura al servicio de un relato que posee la sencillez de los cuentos orales y la ejemplaridad de la parábola. Los avatares de Nissen Piczenik son también los de cuantos renuncian a su vida por un sueño y luego lo traicionan. Como él, quien comercia con falsos corales sabe que el Leviatán le espera. This stand-alone novella really grabbed me. In it, Roth makes the world of the protagonist, Nissen Piczenik, a Jewish coral dealer in a small town in eastern Europe, come alive; his descriptions of the corals, and Nissen's thoughts and feelings about them, are stunning, and so is the story of Niseen's temptation by his desire to see the sea, which leads to many other temptations and to his ultimate downfall. The writing is beautiful, and I couldn't put this book down. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

In the small town of Progrody, Nissen Piczenik makes his living as the most respected coral merchant of the region. Nissen has never been outside of his town, deep in the Russian interior, and fantasizes that a Leviathan watches over the coral reefs. When the sailor nephew of one of Progrody's residents comes to visit, Nissen loses little time in befriending him for the purpose of learning about the sea. The sailor offers Nissen a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come to Odessa and tour his ship. Nissen leaves his business during the peak coral season, and stays in Odessa for three weeks. But upon his return to Progrody, Nissen finds that a new coral merchant has moved into the neighboring town, and his coral is quickly becoming the most sought after. As his customers dwindle, life takes an evil twist for Nissen Piczenik. And the final decider of his fate may be the devil himself. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
