Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"The clarity and directness of Sharov's prose are disconcerting, almost hallucinatory. His writing is at times funny, at times so piercingly moving, so brimful of unassuaged sorrow, that it causes a double-take." -- Rachel Polonsky, NY Review of Books

"Oliver Read hears and renders into English many stylistic registers, reminding us that Sharov began creative life as a poet. If it is true -- and I believe it is -- that translation requires the most intimate dialogue possible with another's consciousness, then Sharov's rebirth into English in such staggeringly fine prose is the perfect tribute to commemorate the departure of his mortal body." -- Caryl Emerson in the Los Angeles Review of Books

Reseña del editor:

New Jerusalem Monastery, seventeenth-century Moscow. Patriarch Nikon has instructed an itinerant French dramatist to stage the New Testament and hasten the Second Coming. But this will be a strange form of theatre. The actors are untrained, illiterate Russian peasants, and nobody is allowed to play Christ. They are persecuted, arrested, displaced, and ultimately replaced by their own children. Yet the rehearsals continue... A stunning reflection on art, history, religion and national identity, Rehearsals is the seminal work in the unique oeuvre of Vladimir Sharov, Russian Booker Prize winner (2014) and author of Before & During (Read Russia award for best translation, 2015).
