Chronicle During Books Emmaus

“Abbiamo tutti sedici, diciassette anni ma senza saperlo veramente, è l'unica età che possiamo immaginare: a stento sappiamo il passato”. Con queste parole inizia il nuovo romanzo di Alessandro Baricco, Emmaus. Il titolo evoca l'episodio narrato nel vangelo di Luca in cui due discepoli incontrano Gesù Risorto, senza riconoscerlo, sulla strada che va da Gerusalemme a Emmaus. I protagonisti sono quattro ragazzi diciassettenni divisi tra scuola e parrocchia. La città che fa da sfondo alla vicenda, pur non essendo nominata, sembra proprio essere Torino.
Di Emmaus Domenico Starnone ha scritto: ‟Un libro su com’è difficile vedere davvero, in tutti i tempi e in questo nostro tempo.”

Evaluation Regarding Books Emmaus

Baricco is a wonderful writer. He has insight, wisdom, compassion, and sheer genius. Unfortunately, it is not to be found in this book. It starts well, promisingly, even. But begins to snowball downhill very quickly after.Written originally in Italian, this has been translated by Ann Goldstein and in all fairness, it is a neat job as far as translations tend to go. For context, in the Gospel of Luke, Emmaus is a town where the resurrected Jesus appeared to two disciples. Biblical overtones and

A beautiful book, seemingly simple, which will leave you to think long after you've finished reading.

Creepy, bizarro, and spare anti-morality tale.

Maybe I would have enjoyed this more if I had been raised Catholic. Feeling guilty sucks. Being corrupted is not the best. Faith is a fraught proposition. I don't know. Was there more in here?

Emmaus by Alessandro Baricco, translated from Italian by Ann Goldstein is a coming-of-age novel. It features an anonymous teenaged narrator and his three friends, Luke, Bobby and the Saint. The fears, impulses, confusion and anxiety characteristic of adolescence are complicated for these boys by their thorough entrenchment into Catholicism with all its repression, sin and the terror of punishment. The four come into contact with a world vastly different from theirs when they meet Andre, an

After two more complex novels by Baricco ('City' and 'This Story') that were worthwhile, this seemingly simple story, just like the equally brief 'Silk', did not really resonate with me. It is a coming-of-age story of 4 young males from the lower social class, who lead a more or less sheltered life that is strongly influenced by a social and cultural type of Roman Catholicism, which to my knowledge almost only exists in Italy and Poland. That sheltered world, including seemingly harmonious

Emmaus is the first novel by Alessandro Baricco brought to this country by McSweeney's, although it is far from his debut. Translated from the original Spanish by Ann Goldstein, this version has been given a fresh coat of paint for a new audience with beautiful cover art from Robyn O'Neil.This scant novel will satisfy readers that appreciate some biblical imagery with their smut. While sex is central to much of the action of this novel, issues of class and faith form the thematic heart of the
