Leviathan
Um dos maiores problemas de consumir muitas histórias num meio seja literatura, cinema ou jogos é que começamos a ver as estruturas narrativas na nossa frente enquanto devíamos estar plenamente absorvidos pelo mundo e personagens das histórias. Diga-se que isso é mais evidente quando a história é mediana, mas a estrutura é muito boa, investindo nós mais tempo na apreciação do invólucro do que no conteúdo.

I can't remember the last time I read a book that was so emotionally draining as Paul Auster's Leviathan.

Leviathan, Paul Auster Leviathan is American writer Paul Austers seventh novel, published by Viking Press in 1992. The novel follows the life and crimes of a man who decides to take action over words to deliver his message to the world, as told by his estranged best friend.

That's my kind of book! Beautifully given story of a man's pursuit of identity. Loved it more than I could ever love The New York Trilogy or Invisible (these are the only Paul Auster books I have read)...perhaps, it has to do with the fact that I read the English edition...perhaps, he is one of those writers I enjoy reading in English, but never in Greek!

Explanation Concering Books Leviathan
New York Times bestselling author Paul Auster (The New York Trilogy) opens Leviathan with the tearing of a bomb explosion and the death of one Benjamin Sachs. Ben’s one-time best friend, Peter Aaron, begins to retrospectively investigate the transformation that led Ben from his enviable stable life, to one of a recluse. Both were once intelligent, yet struggling novelists until Ben’s near-death experience falling from a fire escape triggers a tumble in which he becomes withdrawn and disturbed, living alone and building bombs in a far-off cabin. That is, until he mysteriously disappears, leaving behind only a manuscript titled Leviathan, pages rustling in the wind.Point Epithetical Books Leviathan

Πάλι τα ίδια Paul; Πάλι αριστοτεχνικά δομημένη πλοκή; Πάλι εκπληκτική σκιαγράφηση χαρακτήρων; Πάλι μέγιστη απόλαυση κατά την ανάγνωση κάθε σελίδας;Ποιοι στ' αλήθεια είμαστε. Ποιοι νομίζουμε ότι είμαστε. Ποιοι νομίζουν οι άλλοι ότι είμαστε. Οι πράξεις μας. Τα κίνητρα των πράξεων μας. Οι επιπτώσεις τους στον εαυτό μας και τους άλλους.Πάντως Paul, μεταξύ μας, νομίζω ότι είσαι ένας πολύ μεγάλος συγγραφέας.Um dos maiores problemas de consumir muitas histórias num meio seja literatura, cinema ou jogos é que começamos a ver as estruturas narrativas na nossa frente enquanto devíamos estar plenamente absorvidos pelo mundo e personagens das histórias.
