Saturday
(Ian McEwan)
Henry Perowne works of neurosurgeon in London. He awakes at daybreak of the 15 of February of the 2003, the day that anywhere in the world were manifestations against the war of Iraq, and sees as an airplane in flames falls on some place of the English capital.
The suppositions and the terror of a new terrorist attack do not let him sleep while waits that the dawn arrives for smooch with his woman. Thus begins this Saturday in the life of this doctor, which will carry us next to him during all the cold winter day.
A match of squash against an anesthetist, the manifestation against the invasion, a son guitarist and addict to the blues, a daughter who writes poems from Paris, a father-in-law poet and alcoholic, a wife who works like lawyer in a newspaper, a mother conquered and defeated by the dementia, a surgical intervention of emergency, a man sunken by his disease and drowned by the society, we are not here for solve the world but we know like doing it, the Iraqi doctor who lost everything during the regime of Sadam Husein, a concert of stridents guitars, a poetry book and a pregnancy.
An ill man commits a crime, is he responsible or is his deficient neuronal connections? We can think that we are only one chain of chemical reactions or against that we have a soul in which inhabits ours I. The moral validity of the preventive wars. The poetry like authentic spiritual bastion of the humanity. These questions and others more tackle the English writer in this good book.
