Buried giant

"An extraordinary new novel from the author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize winning The Remains of the Day. "You've long set your heart against it, Axl, I know. But it's time now to think on it anew. There's a journey we must go on, and no more delay. . ."

  • "Axl et Beatrice vivent un amour constant qui a résisté aux années. Ils décident de faire un voyage pour rejoindre leur fils, parti depuis longtemps. De nombreux obstacles se dressent sur leur chemin, parfois étranges, parfois terrifiants, et mettent leur amour à l'épreuve. Leur parcours est une métaphore de nos vies à tous. Kazuo Ishiguro revisite, dans "le Géant enfoui", les thèmes shakespeariens qui traversent son Suvre : la mémoire et l'oubli, la confiance et la haine, la vengeance et la justice."

  • "The Romans have long since departed and Britain is steadily declining into ruin. But, at least, the wars that once ravaged the country have ceased. Axl and Beatrice, a couple of elderly Britons, decide that now is the time, finally, for them to set off across this troubled land of mist and rain to find the son they have not seen for years, the son they can scarcely remember. They know they will face many hazards -- some strange and otherworldly -- but they cannot foresee how their journey will reveal to them the dark and forgotten corners of their love for each other. Nor can they foresee that they will be joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and a knight -- each of them, like Axl and Beatrice, lost in some way to his own past, but drawn inexorably toward the comfort, and the burden, of the fullness of a life's memories."@en
