Runt

Rhubarbis the first novel from a young writer with an astonishing talent. With his sublime and playful use of language and his uncanny ability to reveal the human condition in all its vulnerability and fragility, Craig Silvey has created an extraordinary contemporary Australian story. It is a poignant and tender sort-of-love story about two damaged people tenuously connecting. Eleanor is blind and lives with her reclusive mother. Ewan is a cello player with agoraphobia. She is drawn to him through his music but cannot understand the difficulty he faces in forming a friendship. He does not understand her past nor the impact his music has on her. Amidst the heat of a Fremantle summer they stumble towards each other. Sad, funny and affecting, and peopled with characters that live and breathe, Rhubarb is simply a wonderful novel.

Rhubarb

Maskeli Kahraman

Late on a hot summer night in 1965, Charlie Bucktin, a precocious and bookish boy of fourteen, is startled by an urgent knock on the window of his sleep-out. His visitor is Jasper Jones, an outcast in the regional mining town of Corrigan. Rebellious, sixteen years old, mixed-race and solitary, Jasper is a distant figure of danger and intrigue for Charlie. So when Jasper begs for his help, Charlie eagerly steals into the night by his side, terribly afraid but desperate to impress. Jasper takes him to his secret glade in the bush, and its here that Charlie bears witness to Jaspers horrible discovery. In the simmering summer where everything changes, Charlie learns why the truth of things is so hard to know, and even harder to hold in his heart.

No escaldante verão em que tudo acontece, ele discute com sua impetuosa mãe, apaixona-se nervosamente e luta para manter a integridade de seu fervoroso melhor amigo, Jeffrey Lu. E, na vã tentativa de reparar o que havia se quebrado, aprende a diferença entre mito e realidade, entende por que mentiras bem-intencionadas são como uma maldição e descobre que a verdade é algo difícil de se reconhecer, e ainda mais difícil de se manter no coração.
