UJonathan Coe usihlaba umxhwele ngencwadi yakhe Imvula ngaphambi kokuwa funda nathi kulesi sihloko futhi sizokukhombisa yonke imininingwane yale ndaba enkulu.
Imvula ngaphambi kokuna
Umbhali wayo uJonathan Coen wazalelwa eBromsgrove, eWorcestershire ngo-August 9, 1961. Wafunda emanyuvesi aseCambridge naseWarwick. Umbhali nombhali wamanoveli oyiNgisi, owaqala ukugqama ekupheleni kwekhulu lama-1980, ngamanoveli abuye angamahlaya ezepolitiki eNgilandi ngo-XNUMX (okuthiwa yiminyaka empunga), njenge Yeka Ukuqopha!
Inoveli yakhe yokuqala yashicilelwa ngo-1987. Eduze kwamanje, Imvula ngaphambi kokuna, kusukela ngo-2007, inethoni ehlukile, ecabangelayo nesondelene, eye yanconywa kakhulu. Ekuhlaziyweni kwawo, umsebenzi usimema ukuba sicabange nge ukubaluleka kwemvula njengengxenye ezimpilweni zethu kanye nezimpawu zayo ekulandiseni.
I-Análisis
Owesifazane oseminyakeni ephakathi namadodakazi amabili wathola izindaba ezidabukisayo zokuthi umalumekazi wakhe uRosamond wayesanda kushona, lapho udokotela wakhe siqu engena endlini futhi, ebona isidumbu sesalukazi esingaphili esihlalweni saso, umbhobho kanye namanye amakhasethi aqoshiwe etafuleni elincane kwakuyilokho ayekuphethe. Ingabe ushiye umlayezo? Ngosuku olwalandela umngcwabo wakhe, uGil wathola ibhodlela lephilisi elingenalutho endlini kaRosamond.
Ngaso leso sikhathi, uthola iphepha elichaza ukuthi ushiye amakhasethi aqoshiwe lapho ephawula khona ngezithombe ezingamashumi amabili zempilo yakhe nokuthi la makhasethi kufanele alethwe ku-Imogen, umshana okuthiwa Owesifazane kaRosamond oyimpumputhe. Ngalezi zincazelo ezikhulunywayo, uzofunda indaba eyiqiniso yakhe nomndeni wakhe, izihlobo zakhe zamanje ezizifihlile. Lesi sici sisikhumbuza izindaba ezimayelana ne incazelo yamanzi emvula enkumbulweni nasemlandweni womndeni.
Isifingqo
Benqaba ukumhlinza inhliziyo, isifo ayenaso. Wayehlala yedwa endlini encane e-Oxfordshire, evakashelwa udokotela wakhe kuphela, owayefika cishe nsuku zonke. URosamond wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa nantathu ubudala, futhi ngolunye usuku udokotela wakhe wamthola esihlalweni sakhe eqinile futhi ebanda njengepani leqhwa.
Ngemva kokungcwatshwa, incwadi yefa. U-Rosamond akakaze ashade noma abe nezingane, umngane - noma isithandwa - owahlala naye iminyaka eminingi useshonile, futhi ifa lakhe kufanele lihlukaniswe ngokulinganayo phakathi kwezindlalifa ezintathu: izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zikaGill noDavid, izingane zikadadewabo, kanti enye i-Imogen, owesifazane ongaziwa.
Intombazane ene-blonde eneminyaka eyisikhombisa, engaboni kahle, exakile, ebukekayo, eyadonsa ukunaka kwazo zonke izivakashi ngalolo suku. Ku-Gil, cishe akaziwa, cishe sekudlule iminyaka engamashumi amabili kusukela kulowo mcimbi.
Kodwa lapho uGill eya endlini yowesifazane ofile, uthola elinye ifa: amakhasethi ambalwa uRosamond awaqopha ngaphambi kokuba afe—noma ezibulala—kanye nencwadi etshela uGill ukuthi amakhasethi ngawe-Imogen, futhi uma engamtholi, angawalalela. Lokhu kusesha komlando womndeni kuyefana nalokho okungatholakala mayelana isenzakalo semvula kanye nemiphumela yako emvelweni.
Izithombe ezingamashumi amabili zihlelwe njengephazili engavamile, okunye okurekhodiwe kufaka phakathi izwi lika-Rosamond, okuqoshiwe okuqondiswe kowesifazane oyimpumputhe. UGill namadodakazi akhe bachitha izinyanga bezama ukuthola le ntokazi eyimpumputhe kodwa bengaphumeleli.
Ixoxa indaba yomama namadodakazi esukela ngeminyaka yawo-1940 kuze kube manje, izizukulwane ezintathu zabesifazane ezixhunywe isifiso, icala, unya, kanye nokuxaka kokuthandwa kwabo… Indaba ehambisana nomqondo wokuthi Ukuthi injabulo nobudlelwano babantu kuxhumene kanjani.
U-Imogen uyimpumputhe. Ngakho-ke amakhasethi esikhundleni sezinhlamvu, kungakho indlela enembayo uRosamond awachaza ngayo. Nokutshela u-Imogen indaba yokuphila kwakhe; U-Rosamond ukhetha izithombe ezingu-20 zezikhathi ezibalulekile empilweni yakhe, ezigcizelela ukubaluleka kwezinkumbulo nezinkumbulo kunoma iyiphi indaba.
Izincazelo zinembile kangangokuthi ungacishe ubone izithombe engqondweni yakho. Ukwakheka kwezwe, uma isibhakabhaka besiguqubele noma cha, imibala yesigcawu, ukuthinta, ukuma kwabantu esithombeni. Sikumema ukuthi uvakashele lesi sihloko indlu yokuzisola, njengoba futhi kuyindaba emnandi.
Ingcaphuno encane evela encwadini
Ungalahlekelwa ukubona futhi ubuke amafu, kuzoba nesiphepho, futhi uma eza ngapha». UThea wezwa ukuphawula (njalo, ngabona ukushintsha kwemizwa ngaso leso sikhathi, akuzange kuyeke ukungimangaza ukuthi wayezwela kangakanani, wayeyinake kangakanani imizwelo yabantu abadala), futhi lokho kwamholela ekubeni aphenye futhi abuze, "Yingakho 'udabukile?" ? "Udabukile?" Kubuza uRebecca, ephenduka. Cha. Anginandaba nemvula ehlobo. Ngize ngithande.
"Imvula engiyithandayo." “Imvula oyintandokazi yakho?” kusho uThea. Ngikhumbula ehwaqabala ngesikhathi ezama lawo mabinzana, wabe esebabaza. "Hhayi-ke eyami imvula ingakayidli." Wakuhleka lokho uRebecca, kodwa ngathi (ngibukisa, ngiyacabanga) "Kodwa sthandwa, ngaphambi kokuba line, imvula ngempela?" Wathi kimi uThea, "Pho kuyini?" Futhi ngamchazela: “Awu, amanzi nje. Umswakama emafwini.
UThea wabheka phansi futhi waphinda wabiza amatshe olwandle; wabamba ababili waqala ukubashaya omunye komunye. Wahlulela ukuthi umsindo nesasasa liyamjabulisa. Ngaqhubeka: «Uyaqonda-ke ukuthi akukho mvula ngaphambi kokuba line? Kumele liwe ukuze kube yimvula." Kwakulula ukuveza lokhu entombazaneni encane; Ngacishe ngazisola ngokuqala.
Kodwa ngokusobala uThea akazange abe nenkinga yokubamba umqondo; okuphambene nalokho, ngoba ngemva kwesikhashana wangigqolozela wanikina ikhanda ngendlela edabukisayo, njengokungathi ngaphandle kokulwa nalezo zinto nesilima wayehlale evivinya isineke sakhe. “Ngiyazi ukuthi ayikho,” kusho yena.
“Yingakho kuyintandokazi yami. Ngoba okuthile akudingekile ukuba kube ngokoqobo ukuze ujabule, akunjalo? Wabe esegijima ebheke emanzini emamatheka kusobala, ejabulela ukuthi usephunyukile ngenxa yengqondo yakhe.
Okokugcina, indikimba yemvula kanye nezimpawu zayo kungacutshungulwa ngokujulile ezimweni ezimbalwa. Ngokwesibonelo, ku izilwane ezimemezela imvula nokuthi lezi zigigaba zingaba nomthelela kanjani ezimpilweni zabantu zansuku zonke kanye nemvelo yabo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, incwadi ka-Coe iphinde isimeme ukuthi sicabange ngezikhathi zokuphila ezingaba yisikhashana njengombukiso. i-meteor shower, okusikhumbuza ukuthi okuhlangenwe nakho ngakunye kungaba okuyingqayizivele futhi okungenakuphindwa.
Ngokufingqa, Imvula ngaphambi kokuna Liyincwadi engahloli nje kuphela ubudlelwano bomndeni kanye nezimfihlo zesikhathi esedlule, kodwa futhi esikhumbuza ngokubaluleka kwezikhathi, imvula, kanye nencazelo yomlando wethu siqu.
