No Dustjacket. . 215 pages. hardcover. . keywords: Literature Caribbean Trinidad England India. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Here is the astringent wit of an Aubrey Mennen turned loose in the rich landscape of a Caribbean isle. V. S. Naipaul is an extraordinary storyteller - a voice from Trinidad of today, as contemporary and exciting as Calypso - and in THE MYSTIC MASSEUR he has created one of the most amusing and fascinating characters in contemporary fiction, Ganesh Rasumair. If Ganesh had not been so unappreciated as a schoolteacher, he would never have become a masseur. If he had not lacked talent as an ordinary masseur, he would never have blossomed into a mystic one; and, of course, if he had not lived in Trinidad, at first an obscure member and finally an ornament of the Hindu community there, none of the things that happened to him would have happened in quite that way, for Trinidad, seen with the eye of humor, is a most surprising place. This is a story of success: a success that resulted, or so it seems, from inspired detachment. Achievement was not something at which Ganesh aimed but something that overtook him in oblique and unexpected ways, often appearing at first sight to be a setback but always advancing his career. Mr. Naipaul, who himself comes of an Indian family settled in Trinidad, writes with delicate precision and keeps a poker face. He occasionally permits himself a raised eyebrow and a look of wonder at the charming absurdity of human beings, but it is his reader, not he, who laughs aloud. inventory #22009.

Book
Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Condition: Gut. Erste Auflage dieser Ausgabe. 214 (2) Seiten. 19,2 cm. Umschlagtypographie: Celestino Piatti. Umschlagbild von Rotraud Susanne Berner. Sehr guter Zustand. In seinem ersten Roman - der bereits alle seine literarischen Qualitäten zeigt - erzählt V.S. Naipaul die witzig-melancholische Geschichte von Ganesh, dem großen Heiler von Trinidad, und liefert das satirische Porträt eines Dorfes, das den ungewöhnlichen und überraschenden Aufstieg von Ganesh staunend begleitet. - Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul TC (* 17. August 1932 in Chaguanas, Trinidad und Tobago; 11. August 2018 in London war ein britischer Schriftsteller und Literaturnobelpreisträger. Er erhielt im Jahr 2001 den Nobelpreis für Literatur. Ab 1950 lebte Naipaul in England. Leben: Naipauls indische Vorfahren kamen als Vertragsarbeiter nach Trinidad, der größten Insel des heutigen Inselstaates Trinidad und Tobago. In den ersten Lebensjahren lebte Naipaul bei der Familie seiner Mutter. Erst im Alter von sechs Jahren lernte er seinen Vater Seepersad Naipaul (19061953) kennen, der in Port of Spain als Journalist beim Trinidad Guardian arbeitete. Später gelang es dem Vater, ein Haus in Port of Spain zu erwerben und die Familie so wieder zusammenzubringen. Die Geschichte seiner Kindheit und die seines Vaters verarbeitete Naipaul in dem Roman Ein Haus für Mister Biswas. 1950 ging Naipaul mit einem Stipendium nach England und studierte in Oxford. Nach dem Studium arbeitete er ab Mitte der 50er-Jahre zunächst als freier Mitarbeiter bei der BBC; bereits kurze Zeit später widmete er sich jedoch voll und ganz seiner schriftstellerischen Tätigkeit. Neben seinen Romanen ist Naipaul bekannt für seine Erfahrungsberichte aus verschiedenen Gegenden und Kulturen der Welt. Seine zahlreichen Reisen führten ihn u.a. nach Indien (mehrfach), Zaire, Uganda, Iran, Pakistan, Malaysia und nach Indonesien. Diese Tätigkeit brachte ihm auch den Ruf eines Reiseschriftstellers ein, obwohl seine Erfahrungsberichte und Analysen weit über die normale Form von Reiseberichten hinausgehen. Nach seiner Reise in den Iran (noch in den Nachwirren der islamischen Revolution) und in weitere islamische Länder setzte er sich in dem Buch Eine islamische Reise sehr kritisch mit dem Islam und vor allem mit extremistischen Strömungen auseinander. Der palästinensische Autor Edward Said kritisierte, dass Naipaul wie Rudyard Kipling Ost und West klischeehaft gegenüberstelle und alte Vorurteile am Leben halte. Naipaul erhielt 1971 den Booker Prize für seinen Roman In einem freien Land, 1983 den Jerusalempreis für die Freiheit des Individuums in der Gesellschaft und 2001 den Literaturnobelpreis für sein Gesamtwerk. Im Dezember 1989 wurde er von der britischen Königin als Knight Bachelor mit dem Titel Sir in den Adelsstand erhoben. . . Aus: wikipedia-V._S._Naipaul. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 208.
