Ingmar Bergman, cineasta y hombre de teatro sueco, ha pasado a ser ya todo un mito en la historia del cine mundial. Pero pocos son los que saben que se casó siete veces, que tuvo ocho hijos, que mantuvo numerosas relaciones amorosas, algunas célebres, y que se codeó, entre otros, con gente como Greta Garbo, Chaplin o Ingrid Bergman. Y casi nadie sabía antes de leer estas memorias cómo, a muy temprana edad, se instaló el miedo en su alma, cómo descubrió, deslumbrado, el cine, con qué problemas tuvo que enfrentarse como artista y realizador, cómo amó a las mujeres a quienes más amó y cómo la figura del padre, pastor luterano, marcó gravemente toda su existencia -y parte de su obra. Al lector le sorprenderá con qué especial sensibilidad de escritor y con cuánta conmovedora sinceridad ha sabido Bergman narrar éstos y otros episodios de su dilatada vida.

Autobiografia do renomado cineasta sueco Ingmar Bergman, 'Lanterna mágica' é um livro instigante e arrebatador. Entre as passagens mais interessantes, a conturbada relação de Bergman com seu pai, um pastor protestante, e o momento decisivo em que descobriu a magia redentora do cinematógrafo, instrumento capaz de transformar um mentiroso num grande artista. A obra apresenta poucos detalhes sobre os filmes realizados e concentra-se nos pormenores da infância e formação no teatro. No entanto, em todo o livro, a voz do narrador se mantém inconfundível - o tom ácido e sarcástico, característico de Ingmar Bergman.

Киноповести

Children born on Sunday are said to have special gifts of sensitivity, imagination, and clairvoyance, including the ability to see goblins and ghosts. The protagonist of this touching and deeply affecting novel is a young boy named Pu, a Sunday's child. Pu is eight and his brother Dag ten when their mother rents Pastor Dahlberg's ramshackle house for the summer. It is the first summer the family has not stayed with their grandmother in her comfortable home a few miles away, but Pu's father has let it be known that if he is to join them for vacation, it will have to be in a house of their own. Sunday's Children is the story of that summer, of the magical landscape and the people who pass through it: Pu's overbearing grandmother, his drunken uncle, the beautiful tutor, his terrorizing brother, and his feuding parents. Pu hates his brother's endless teasing, enjoys holding his baby sister and playing with trains, adores his mother, worships yet fears his father. But Pu also thinks about death, dwells on the strange stories of ghosts the servant girls tell, and broods about the painful arguments between his parents. As the novel opens, Pu, his heart full of high expectations, is on his way to the railroad station to meet his father. But much to Pu's chagrin, when his father arrives, he is restless, absent-minded, and melancholy. They take a trip together, a journey that at times brings them closer but ultimately deepens the growing darkness between them. The author enriches the reader's sense of that relationship through a series of "flashbacks to the future", in which the protagonist visits his ill and dying father in later years. As a child Pu approached his father with completeadoration. As an adult, with distance, he brought anger. But in the end he brings understanding. In his review of the film adapted from Bergman's novel, Vincent Canby called it "a gorgeous, richly poignant memoir, so full of mirrors, so magically placed, that (it) manages to reflect the future while revealing new interpretations of the past. Not since Wild Strawberries has Mr. Bergman dealt with time in a way that is simultaneously quite so limpid and so mysterious".
