Krátky popis
The mesmerising new novel from Ian McEwan, the bestselling author
of Atonement. The world is forever changing. But for so many of us,
old wounds run deep. Lessons is an intimate yet universal story of
love, regret and a restless search for answers. While the world is
still counting the cost of the Second World War and the Iron
Curtain has descended, young Roland Baines's life is turned upside
down. Stranded at boarding school, his vulnerability attracts his
piano teacher, Miriam Cornell, leaving scars as well as a memory of
love that will never fade. Twenty-five years later, as the
radiation from the Chernobyl disaster spreads across Europe,
Roland's wife mysteriously vanishes and he is forced to confront
the reality of his rootless existence and look for answers in his
family history. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the Covid
pandemic and climate change, Roland sometimes rides with the tide
of history but more often struggles against it. Haunted by lost
opportunities, he seeks solace through every possible means -
literature, travel, friendship, drugs, politics, sex and love. His
journey raises important questions. Can we take full charge of the
course of our lives without damage to others? How do global events
beyond our control shape us and our memories? What role do chance
and contingency play in our existence? And what can we learn from
the traumas of the past? contingency play in our existence? And
what can we learn from the traumas of the past?
