  • "Quand le roman sudiste américain fait une cure d'humour juif new-yorkais. ##Le choix de Sophie## est un très grand roman baroque et érotique, un puissant livre de passions dont la dimension métaphysique n'a pas échappé à une critique entièrement subjuguée par le talent immense d'un auteur qu'elle compare à Faulkner, Nabokov, Lowry. L'héroïne du roman, Sophie, est une Polonaise, catholique, déportée par erreur dans un camp de concentration nazi (Auschwitz). Elle vit à Brooklyn un amour suicidaire (?) sado masochiste (?), avec un amant-bourreau, Juif, sous les yeux d'un ami du couple. Cet ami, jeune, sudiste, puceau, écrivant son premier roman, est sans doute Styron lui-même; ce qui a fait dire que ##Le choix de Sophie## était à mettre en parallèle avec le ##Portrait de l'artiste en jeune homme## de Joyce. Culpabilité et aliénation sont les deux monstres les plus terrifiants qui peuplent "cet enfer des consciences meurtries, manipulées par l'histoire" (P. Kyria). Un chef-d'oeuvre."

  • "Based on the novel by William Styron."
  • ""Styron's most impressive performance. ... Belongs on that small shelf reserved for American masterpieces." 'Washington Post Book World Winner of the 1980 National Book Award, Sophie's Choice is William Styron's classic novel of love, survival, and regret, set in Brooklyn in the wake of the Second World War. The novel centers on three characters: Stingo, a sexually frustrated aspiring novelist; Nathan, his charismatic but violent Jewish neighbor; and Sophie, an Auschwitz survivor who is Nathan's lover. Their entanglement in one another's lives will build to a stirring revelation of agonizing secrets that will change them forever. Poetic in its execution, and epic in its emotional sweep, Sophie's Choice explores the good and evil of humanity through Stingo's burgeoning worldliness, Nathan's volatile personality, and Sophie's tragic past. Mixing elements from Styron's own experience with themes of the Holocaust and the history of slavery in the American South, the novel is a profound and haunting human drama. The result is Styron at the pinnacle of his literary brilliance. This ebook features a new illustrated biography of William Styron, including original letters, rare photos, and never-before-seen documents from the Styron family and the Duke University Archives."@en
