Une tête de nuage

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £2.82
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.

Une femme, Miriàm. Un homme, Iosèf. Un jeune couple d'amoureux. Ils se sont rencontrés en Galilée, au nord d'Israël, et vont se marier à Nazareth. Quand Miriàm annonce à son fiancé qu'elle attend un enfant dont il n'est pas le père, Iosèf ne la dénonce pas aux autorités, comme la loi le prescrit. Il croit en sa parole. Il croit qu'elle est enceinte d'une annonce, il croit à une vérité invraisemblable. "C'est l'hiver en Galilée, mais entre eux deux, c'est le solstice d'été, le jour de la lumière la plus longue" . Avec Une tête de nuage, Erri De Luca poursuit sa relecture de la Nativité, abordée précédemment dans Au nom de la mère. Structuré en trois actes, le texte assume une forme dramatique parcourue par des dialogues intenses, non dépourvus d'ironie. Derrière la figure du Messie, Erri De Luca brosse le portrait intime de Marie et Joseph, ici présentés dans leur simple humanité : deux jeunes parents qui s'apprêtent à élever leur enfant, Jésus, dans mille difficultés. Un homme et une femme, liés par un sentiment qui dépasse les faits et s'inscrit dans les mots. "En amour, croire n'est pas céder, mais renforcer, ajouter quelques poignées de confiance ardente" (www.payot.ch).
