Le neveu de WittgensteinUne amitié

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £7.20
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Comme celui de Rameau, le neveau de Wittgenstein, que nous présente ici son ami, est un original, pittoresque et pathétique, un vrai personnage de roman. Ce texte, de 1982, n'est pas formellement rattaché aux récits dits «autobiographiques» (de L'origine à Un enfant), mais, sans continuité chronologique, il lui arrive plus d'une fois de narrer et de commenter des événements attestés de la vie de l'auteur, et le «je» fictif qui parle ici ressemble à s'y méprendre à un certain Thomas Bernhard. On ne s'étonnera donc pas que, confronté avec cet étrange ami, «c'est-à-dire avec lui-même», il nous confie, une fois de plus, et toujours mieux, des choses banales et profondes, et drôles à en pleurer, sur la vie, l'art, les prix littéraires, les cafés viennois, la vie à la campagne, la compétition automobile, la maladie et la mort, dans un de ces soliloques hallucinés, répétitifs, impitoyables, dont il a le secret. Pour la première fois, Thomas Bernhard nous parle de l'amitié. Il le fait admirablement et, pour reprendre une de ses expressions, sans le moindre ménagement, et cela fait très mal. --Quatrième de couverture.
