Hosokawa PDG de la plus grosse entreprise japonaise d'électronique. Hosokawa est invité par le chef de l'Etat lui même d'origine japonaise très désireux de le voir investir dans le pays. M. Hosokawa étant fou d'opéra le président a fait venir la célèbre soprano américaine Roxanne Coss. Par malheur l'anniversaire tombe un mardi et le président ne peut se résoudre à manquer son feuilleton télévisé ; il prétexte donc la crise au Proche-Orient pour s'éclipser rapidement. A la fin du récital la résidence est soudain envahie par une troupe de guérilleros armés jusqu'aux dents. Ils exigent que le président leur soit remis. La prise d'otages est partie pour durer et dans la maison du vice-président il s'instaure un "modus vivendi" entre les guérilleros et leurs prisonniers. "Bel Canto" s'inspire librement de l'interminable prise d'otages à l'ambassade du Japon au Pérou voici quelques années. Ann Patchett est américaine "Bel Canto" son quatrième roman vient de lui valoir le prix PEN / Faulkner. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre. Quatrième de couverture Quelque part en Amérique du Sud une réception somptueuse donnée en l'honneur d'un puissant industriel japonais réunit des hôtes de marque autour de la célèbre cantatrice américaine Roxane Coss. Alors que s'égrènent les dernières notes du récital de la diva une bande de guérilleros armés jusqu'aux dents investit les lieux. À défaut de pouvoir enlever le président du pays - retenu ailleurs par des obligations "diplomatiques" aussi cruciales que soudaines - les terroristes prennent ses invités en otage. Toutes les femmes seront relâchées à l'exception de la cantatrice qui devrait servir de monnaie d'échange. Les négociations tournent court et la prise d'otages se prolonge. Au fil des semaines puis des mois des rapports singuliers se tissent au sein du groupe d'otages et entre guérilleros et prisonniers à mesure que s'instaure un fragile modus vivendi. Et par la virtuosité d'Ann Patchett ce huis clos où évoluent des personnages d'horizons très différents séparés par les barrières de la langue et de la culture se transforme pour le lecteur ébloui en une fenêtre ouverte sur le monde. Bon état.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: "A book that works both as a paean to art and beauty and a subtly sly comedy of manners."Janet Maslin, New York Times A beautifully designed edition of number-one New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett's prized classic, annotated and with an introduction by the author herself. "Tremendous fun. Rereading this terrific novel with [Patchett]. is a master class in fiction writing conveyed in marginalia that has the tone of an ideal dinner conversation." Ron Charles, The Washington Post First published in 2001, Bel Canto is possibly Ann Patchett's most beloved novel. Set in an unnamed South American country, at the home of the vice president, it is the story of a lavish birthday party honoring Mr. Hosokawa, a powerful Japanese businessman. Roxanne Coss, opera's most revered soprano, has enthralled the international guests with a mesmerizing performance. The evening is perfectuntil a band of gun-wielding terrorists takes the entire party hostage. But in Patchett's skilled hands, what begins as a panicked, life-threatening scenario slowly evolves into something quite different, a moment of great beauty, as terrorists and hostages forge unexpected bonds and people from different continents become compatriots. Friendship, compassion, and the chance for great love lead the characters to forget the real danger that has been set in motionand cannot be stopped. Now, more than two decades after this bold and artistically daring novel's debut, Patchett revisits her early work. In this special annotated edition, the acclaimed prize-winning author opens the story to readers, providing enlightening commentary on her original version, including reflections on her narrative choices and style. A mature writer looking back at her younger self, Patchett takes us deep into her creative process and considers her career and growth as an artist, from that novel to her most recent, Tom Lake. Funny, full of insight, informal, and often unexpectedly moving, this annotated edition is an intimate encounter with a celebrated novelist, an opportunity to reconsider a great work through her eyes, and a guide for anyone who wants to understand how a novel takes form.(Publisher).
