De Zoon Uit Spanje
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Family novel in the original Dutch. Gerlof de Windt, retired teacher of classical languages, is very ill. His children want to make his last birthday into an unforgettable family celebration. That is not going to be easy because one of them, the rebel Bardo, was banished from the house twenty-five years ago and has not been back since. He drifts around in the south of Spain and no one knows what kind of life he leads. To reunite father and son - before it is too late - the only daughter of the family has sought contact with him and has managed to convince him to come back for this last opportunity. The apparent certainties of life in a well-to-do and well structured world comes up against the idea of freedom based on conviction that Bardo stands for, and the moral consequences thereof. The still smouldering feud between father and son threatens to flair up again, while the question of who will have to look after father on his deathbed hangs like a dark cloud over the festivities. Because everyone is so busy - except perhaps Bardo? Een man heeft niet lang meer te leven. Voor zijn laatste verjaardag speuren zijn kinderen hun rebelse broer Bardo op, die dertig jaar eerder door zijn vader het huis uit is gezet en nooit is teruggekeerd. De bedoeling is dat vader en zoon zich - voor het te laat is - met elkaar verzoenen. Maar de verschillen zijn niet zomaar te overbruggen: de schijnbare zekerheden van het leven in een verzorgingsstaat botsen met de ongebondenheid van Bardo. Een nog altijd sluimerende vete tussen hem en zijn oudste broer dreigt weer op te spelen. En wie moet straks hun vader op zijn sterfbed verzorgen?
