Another great review Michael.
so inconsolable
Some individuals have a unique feature of emanating power of his personality even after his death, his biography alone. Their passions alive, drowned in their behalf, and laced with it, read by successive generations, to inspire. One such form is certainly a novel by Melania Mazucco heroine, Annemarie Schwarzenbach - writes Michael Płaczek.
During his life trzydziestoczteroletniego Schwarzenbach was the object of attacks as many as and worship. Portrayed in her novels (such as "Escape to the north," Klaus Mann), poetry, and literally portrayed in numerous photographs, most important of which is a series made by Marianne Breslauer - These photographs show Annemarie Schwarzenbach in the years 1933 to 1938. The sudden, tragic accident caused the death meant that soon forgotten about it - seven years later he died, even prematurely, Klaus Mann, and the difficult situation in Europe after the horrors of carrying a second World War I certainly was not conducive to nurturing the memory of a woman who did not gain notoriety during his lifetime as a writer, just as scandalous daughter of a millionaire. Only in 1987, in the 45th years after his death, Annemarie Schwarzenbach was given back the Swiss and European culture, thanks to the interest of a young scientist, Roger Perret, who published in one of the most important Swiss newspapers, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, "a four-page insert with Annemarie, and soon, in another journal, a long article.
niewczesnego On the wave of interest came out a lot of biographies and studies (including "L'Angle incolsolable" Nicole Mueller, author of the well-known in Poland, through his novel, "Because it is most important in love") as well as the writings of the Schwarzenbach renewals. One of these works, created from the inspiration of a "niepocieszonego angel" is also published in Poland's novel, "Yes dear" Melania Mazzucco. Fiction This biography is the only so far, apart from the old addition to the "Zadra" (greetings to Beata Kozak), available in South Africa a source of knowledge about Schwarzenbach.
I can not resist this simple reflex and did not say explicitly: it is a very good novel. In addition to the layers in the biographical text woven into the journalistic accounts of the investigation by the author to know the essence of Annemarie Schwarzenbach - a trip to her family estate, the hours spent in Cinemathique Suisse. Mazzucco made in the "Yes mistress" super surgery; described Schwarzenbach so that it could be the dry facts nabudowując passionate vision of the idol. Poetic, flowing language, attention to detail, excellent factual preparation - it all makes "Yes, sweetheart" is not folk art paper cut, ckliwym melodrama, flatter me with the paper crown, but the portrait of a woman living in a vivid, hostile world.
Annemarie was invited to the common table of European twentieth-century culture, is sitting at the next ubóstwianych friends, Klaus and Erika Mann, Her work and everything that falls into that special, so loved, "Schwarzenbach figure" can be our leading object recognition. Time to Polish audience and opened up what Annemarie Schwarzenbach wanted to present to the world. "Yes dear" is a way to do it openly.
