Narrative In Pursuance Of Books The Passport

From the winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Literature

“[The Passport] has the same clipped prose cadences as Nadirs, this time applied to evoke the trapped mentality of a man so desperate for freedom that he views everything through a temporal lens, like a prisoner staring at a calendar in his cell.”—Wall Street Journal

“A swift, stinging narrative, fable-like in its stoic concision and painterly detail.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

The Passport is a beautiful, haunting novel whose subject is a German village in Romania caught between the stifling hopelessness of Ceausescu’s dictatorship and the glittering temptations of life in the West. Stories from the past are woven together with the problems Windisch, the village miller, faces after he applies for permission to migrate to West Germany. Herta Müller (Herta Mueller) describes with poetic attention the dreams and superstitions, conflicts and oppression of a forgotten region, the Banat, in the Danube Plain. In sparse, poetic language, Muller captures the forlorn plight of a trapped people.

Article Out Of Books The Passport

Really short sentences, chapters well accommodated within a page, and intoto, just about 96 pages cover to cover, 'The Passport' by Herta Muller is a surprisingly thin book. It's so thin that I double checked to make sure that this was not an abridged version. Dont get me wrong, it wasn't prejudice, but Nobel Laureates don't and can't write thin books, right? Nevertheless it was a heavy duty stuff that I couldnt have otherwise handled if it were a little longer.I finished the novel, and it did

It is always difficult to rate a book like this; on the one hand it is very accomplished with a definite poetic style but on the other hand it didn't touch me, it never left the surface - which of cause is a stylistic choice... All I all my brain found it somewhat interesting but my heart found it boring.

Herta Muller won the nobel prize for literature. I thought I should read one of her books. The Passport is a very short novel. Muller writes in very short sentences. The novel is about German speaking Romanians. Many of them wish to get a passport to leave Ceaucescu's Romania for Germany. The novel contains many non-sequitors of tangential import. I once met Ceaucescu on a visit he made to Canada. The novel contains touches of surrealism and dream imagery. The woodpecker on my coffee table taps

This is the first book in my "Read all the Nobel for Literature authors" challenge. Herta Muller won the 2009 Nobel Prize, and this was the first book that came up in the library search, so The Passport it is!When I started this book, I had two immediate thoughts.1. This is definitely the work of an award winning writer. (This is not to say I liked it, merely that I could tell it would be appealing to an awarding body much in the same way that I can tell that, even though I enjoy Stephen King

"Man is a great pheasant on the earth.", funny of title It is a novel on attempt. The miller Wendisch wants to emigrate. He wants to leave the communist greyness. He wants to pass to the west. He makes all for that. He works a lot and pay, pay. He dreams : one day he will return as a visitor, well dressed as west people. There is Amélie, his daughter, who is given her to the police officer, to the minister, without pleasure and without love. Amélie cries, Amélie dries its tears. They wait and

Werner Herzog titled his movie about the life of Kaspar Hauser Every Man Against Himself and God Against All. That title might also fit Herta Mullers vision of Communist Romania. This novel takes place in a small town among the German minority during the Ceausescu dictatorship, with a man willing to sacrifice everything, even his family, for the passport of the title. It is not so great a sacrifice as it might seem at first, since he does not seem to like his wife and daughter particularly. In

Evasive, repetitive, bleak. It's about the systemic soul-crushing routines of corrupt small town kleptocrats empowered by a distant, uncaring dictator. The language reflects this world and though it is as sometimes as impenetrable as I presume Ceausescu's Romania was, it occasionally gives way under its weight and reveals some beautiful and terrifying moments.Much of the destruction takes place off the page. Even when a vase is knocked over and broken, we are shown the hand hitting the vase and
