Midwinter Break Bernard MacLaverty
ISBN: 9781911214212 Год издания: 2017 Издательство: Vintage Publishing Язык: Английский Bernard MacLaverty’s first novel for sixteen years is a tour-de-force from a master of the genre.
Born in Belfast, Bernard MacLaverty is a novelist and short-story writer who has also written radio and television plays, libretti and screenplays, most notably adapting his own novels Cal and Lamb for film. His publications include the novel Grace Notes, which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, and his Collected Stories.
'Midwinter Break is a work of extraordinary emotional precision and sympathy, about coming to terms - to an honest reckoning - with love and the loss of love, with memory and pain. Full of scenes that are rendered with exquisite accuracy and care, allowing the most detailed physical descriptions to be placed against the possibility of a rich spiritual life, this is a novel of great ambition by an artist at the height of his powers.' - Colm Toibin, author of Brooklyn
'As always in MacLaverty’s pages , everything is alive with absorbing actuality. Characterisation has total credibility. Dialogue is pitch perfect…. Seamus Heaney recorded Ulster’s tribal butchery in great poetry. MacLaverty does so in great fiction.' - Sunday Times
'a strong return for a Booker nominee' - The Times -
Collected Stories Бернард Мак Лаверти
ISBN: 9780099561583, 978-0-09956-158-3 Год издания: 2014 Издательство: Vintage Classics Язык: Русский Melding his native Irish sensibilities to those of his adopted west-coast Scotland, these tales attend to life's big events: love and loss, separation and violence, death and betrayal. But the stories teem with smaller significant moments too - private epiphanies, chilling exchanges, intimate encounters. Each of these extraordinary stories - with their wry, self-deprecating humour, their elegance and subtle wisdom - gets to the very heart of life. -

Lamb Бернард МакЛаверти
ISBN: 9780099284598 Год издания: 2000 Издательство: Vintage Books Two boys running away from a bleak reformatory begin the adventure of a lifetime, escaping despair, experiencing freedom and happiness but also running up against the cruel complexities of everyday life.
On a promontory jutting out into the Atlantic wind stands the Home run by Brother Benedict, where boys are taught a little of God and a lot of fear. To Michael Lamb, one of the youngest brothers, the regime is without hope, and when he inherits a small legacy he defies his elders and runs away, taking with him a twelve-year-old boy, Owen Kane. Radio Eireann call it a kidnapping. For Michael the act is the beginning of Owen's salvation. Posing as father and son, they concentrate on discovering the happiness that is so unfamiliar to them both. But as the outside world closes in around them - as time, money and opportunity run out - Michael finds himself moving towards a solution that is as uncompromising as it is inspired by love. -
Cal Bernard MacLaverty

For Cal, some choices are devastatingly simple: he can work in an abattoir that nauseates him or join the dole queue; he can brood on his past or plan a future with Marcella.
Springing out of the fear and violence of Ulster, Cal is a haunting love story that unfolds in a land where tenderness and innocence can only flicker briefly in the dark. -

Catherine McKenna - a young composer - remembers exactly why she left: the claustrophobic intimacies of the Catholic enclave, her fastidious, nagging mother, and the pervading tensions of a city at war with itself.
