Resumo de The Pescatrice Of Pearls

Jeff Talarigo: Die Perlentaucherin (?the pescatrice of pearls?). Novel. Luchterhand Verlag, München, 2005

must to the Luchterhand, than until some year it makes was the fixed publishing house of the Prize Nobel Günter Grass, the merit to have uncovered for the readers of German language this new, interesting writer.
Jeff Talarigo is city American from hardly twelve years; its true origins are Japanese. And it is exactly of Japan that speaks its novel about debut. As it suggests to the title, the protagonist is one pescatrice of pearls: a girl to which, hardly diciannovenne, she comes diagnosed the leprosy. We are in 1948. The pescatrice of pearls is condemned to pass the rest of its existence on Nagashima, a island-leper-hospital. Forced to choose one new identity, decides to rename ?Miss. Fuji?, from the name of the mountain that it a lot venera.

the prosa of Talarigo, calm and soffusa of a thin lirismo, contrasts wonderfully with the tortures inflicted to the sick ones of leprosy. In bottom, the isolation which Fuji is subordinate turns out superfluous: it has only two spots on the body (?nearly two medals?) and health flood is felt. Profetizzano that the leprosy, sooner or later, ?will jump outside?, but this event fortunately will not be taken place never. Fuji passes its days on Nagashima dedicating all if same to the misfortune companions, many of which more still torment to you from the ways rudi of the staff that from the disease. It converses between short overseers and it watches are how much meant to you to you:
?You merits to be itself here like all those other monster.?
?Not there are monster in this place, but only persons who need of cures?.

In order to write the pescatrice of pearls, Talarigo has gone to complete its searches to Nagashima. The leper-hospital (called ?the Coast of Deports to you?) was instituted to you in 1935. The vicissitude narrated from the author embraces forty history years very, that it is also po `a history of Japan. During this along time arc, medical science discovers to new therapies that they would allow ?Miss. Fuji? to calmly make return in the ?world of the alive ones?; but the greater part of such acquaintances will not never catch up hell in means to the sea.

a touching novel-truth much.
