Roy Jacobsen, Irregular (Norwegian Strikauskaite)
There are many ways to understand and describe the past – they are all unreliable, incomplete and imperceptible for our current understanding and expectation of waiting. One of these ways is historical novels. However, the books I am currently presenting are not historical. In one of them, the past becomes a reaction to the present, while on the other, the past becomes a way to make fun of the present and all of us.
The first book – The novel by the famous Norwegian writer Roy J. Jacobsen. Nora Strikauskaite was translated from Norwegian and published by the Union of Lithuanian Writers. Jacobsen is one of Norway's best-known writers, author of numerous novels, and has been repeatedly awarded by Norwegian literary awards, translated into several languages, nominated for world literary awards. Roy Jacobsen debuted with a set of short stories, but his first novel, The New Water, spoke of a solitary and secluded Norwegian island. This subject – the islands, their inhabitants, the natural elements and the duel or the collaboration of the man are all works of Jacobsen. He writes about the inhabitants of the island in the "Irregular" – in 2017. Male Jacqusen Roy Jacobsen "Irreverent"
Romanian characters – The Barrio family lives on a reindeer but beautiful island on the coast of Helgeland. They are the rulers of this island: the old Martin, his son Hans, determined to make many hikes and to install a marina to connect the island to the mainland, the wife of Hanse, a mysterious rebellion d & # 39; Another island, Hanse's sister, slower than the others. worker And the little girl of Ingrida, Hanseatica and Mary.
While writing about their lives, Jacobsen does not engage in any particular plot, do not add to the horrors of a fashionable Scandinavian visitor and all kinds of people, do not stop the police investigation. It just needs to be cunning, fun, even detail, to describe the pace of life of the islanders, the communication between their rude and their heaviness, their hard work
The Barium Depends the rhythm of nature, the calendar. When to collect pits from the pits, how to build a house, when the winter storm of the Jedi fades … Jakobsen describes this calendar so completely that the past years of the island become a reader for a huge space universe epic. Jacobsen is a true sailor: his sea is always the same, alive: gentle and menacing, angry and generous.
Despite the storms, the difficulties, sometimes an unbearable work, all the novel overwhelms the hidden, almost open casting. place of unrecognized belonging, rhythm of the world, happiness of the fullness of being. Islanders have learned "slow and fundamental lessons for loneliness".
The family of the latter strives to remain independent and self-sufficient, to lie to no one. "He can not take his pocket" – so the author describes Hans Barry. This illusion of independence, the illusion of one day arrives on the island when a stranger arrives, who attacks the farm Barry, seizes it indiscriminately, and only at the last moment is healed. However, the innocence of islanders is set aside – they become open to the threat and vulnerable to evil in the world. "" No one has disappeared from the island, no one has been lost or disfigured. "However, the plaintiff has kidnapped the most important thing and will never recover."
Similarly, Barriy's relationship with the continent with the big world emerges: on the one hand, she is the source of education and progress and on the other hand There, the family leaves the children who are housed and how their inhabitants are raised by the island From there, the temptation comes, which is the temptation of a better, more progressive and lighter life, which, of course, has lost its independence
In fact, the three generations of the Barrio and the adopted children live more like a family, but as a tribe The island is not important, much more important is the ability to negotiate and share: both work and responsibility and joy.Diplomacy is simple – survive and not give in.
Jacobsen written in plain, simple and simple language, and surprisingly combines subtle nuances of hu maines and natural changes. He is humble, humorous, but the book is the most subjugated by the rude details of life, the tangible details: the smell, the picture, the description of the eagle
"The Nephrologists "remind me a lot of Robert Seethaler's life. books. All are united by the slowness and simplicity of imaginary life. Perhaps the "uneducated" is another literary reaction to the sophisticated, beating world, overpopulated information, too tight, silent. Is this really our world this way, I will not badyze it here, I just want to emphasize some direction of writing – almost utopian reconstruction of the past. This past is not completely utopian, of course, but it is presented to the reader as where life was meaning and fullness. This book deals with the desire for things, physical things, handmade work. The writing as if it was meant to be 'everything was more real', 'better', 'more serious', 'more tired'.
It's hard to tell if it's a new post-romanticism or something else. not on the nineteenth century to the twentieth century The beginning is the last, according to many authors, for an unforgettable period, and almost the same life in the present. Is it possible? I believe him. I believe there are books about it. Moreover, for the sake of justice, it must be added that "the uneducated" is only the first part of the trilogy, conditionally called "Ingrida Barioja". The third book appeared last year.

YES YES READ: What to read in summer? 15 Herkus Kunčius, Lithuanian episodes
The story can be played in other ways – to use it to highlight the absurdity of human life, to sweep various mittens and clichés , to use the game, to finally highlight the life of the present
Herkus Kunčius The player writes a story of audacious and satirical collages of his material, stuffed with "holy" things and spits on the earthquake.
His latest book, published by the Publishing House of Lithuanian Writers, entitled "Lithuanian Scenes". The subtitle is a novel of stories. Indeed, the book consists of seven stories: the action begins in the eighteenth century and ends in the twentieth century. In the end – after Lithuania regained its independence. Representation is a documentary genre that talks about specific people, places, actions of these people, and so on. Kunčius also talks about specific people, historical personalities, but from the beginning they realize that everything will not be (or maybe just) the same: the story begins with a pseudo-documentary style, with the words of the word spoken and later
Kunčius – Author of the Carnival Verse: His Historical Personality From the time of Peter I to the Prince of Monaco), buzzing with enthusiasm, beating, entering and reaching orgies, dying, shouting from first to last line Narrative
Do not dishonor Kunčius, his personality is both true and supposed: here in Sluice, with 50,000 Army, is visited by the Emperor Peter I, with the Lithuanians intimate in the public baths. Here is another Emperor – Napoleon and his management team play basketball against the Stumbro vodka factory in Kaunas, and the Imperial himself later celebrates Joniniai in a very Lithuanian way in Rumšiškės. The Gitane Tables are visited by Vladimir Ilich Lenin, the Lecturer Hmelilas grows up in the Children Gelgaudiški, the Princess of Monaco at Gariunai, while Gorbachev attends the evangelical rites of the collective farm …
What is the purpose of this book? Well, first of all, it was a great writer to write. Secondly, the reader was amusing to read. Thirdly, the same reader learns not to accept everything as a gift, to be able to look at the country, according to quotes from Milosevic from the epigraph of the book "Lithuania, Land of Myths and Poetry". In addition, the reader perceives a moment with the great actors of history as equal to levels – they are the same, they are human, and no matter that everything is fictional, the mask and humor equivalent to all.
again: it is sometimes difficult to understand – intentionally, by provoking the reader, or simply by going beyond the limits of taste, because there is no shortage of things vulgar or rough in the book. It is a satire rather constant and maintained, the margin of the carnival pin suddenly turns into an anecdote on the bottle told twilight and completely counts the reading register
Such inequalities are Produce quite often, and the most continuous perplexity The episodes of the book, and therefore long, try the patience of the readers.
There is no need to look for any particular depths in this book, but it is interesting to know how behaviors are preserved throughout history. with the neighbors, and laugh at the myths of these relationships. And a laugh in Lithuanian literature is a phenomenon so rare that an animal has entered the red book.
