Libro Original o primera edición
Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Condición: Gut. 3. Auflage. 764 (4) Seiten. 19 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Gundula Hißmann und Andreas Heilmann. Lesetipp des Bouquinisten! Guter Zustand. Leichter Wasserschaden am Buchfuß. Kein Geruch, aber einige Seiten sind minimal gewellt uns der Seitenschnitt ist fleckig. Marian Anderson war eine der eindruckvollsten Sängerinnen ihrer Zeit. In den 30er-Jahren wurde die amerikanische Künstlerin in vielen europäischen Konzertsälen gefeiert, Dirigenten und Komponisten wie Sibelius oder Toscanini priesen ihre Stimme als Jahrhundertbegabung. In ihrer Heimat jedoch war die Bewunderung nicht so einhellig, denn Marian Anderson war schwarz. Als man ihr 1939 den Auftritt in einer der besten Konzerthallen Washingtons, der Constitution Hall, versagte, intervenierte Amerikas First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Mit ihrer Unterstützung arrangierte man ein Freiluftkonzert der Sängerin vor dem Lincoln Memorial, das von 75.000 Zuschauern besucht wurde -- ein Ereignis von hohem symbolischem Wert, das allerdings wenig am bestehenden Rassismus des weißen gegenüber dem schwarzen Amerika änderte. In Richard Powers grandiosem Roman Der Klang der Zeit ist das legendäre Konzert eine wichtige Schlüsselszene. Nicht nur treffen sich hier die Eltern der Hauptfiguren zum ersten Mal und finden über ihre Liebe zur Musik zueinander, der Gegensatz zwischen trennendem Rassismus und versöhnender Kunst, unter der Marian Anderson zu leiden hatte, wirft von Beginn an auch einen bedrohlichen Schatten auf die Beziehung zwischen dem deutsch-jüdischen Emigranten David Strom und der Afroamerikanerin Delia Daley. Auch wenn David und Delia alles tun, um ihre drei Kinder vor dieser Bedrohung zu schützen, erweist sich die destruktive Kraft rassistischer Vorurteile letztlich stärker als die Kraft der Musik, aus unterschiedlichen Stimmen harmonische Kompositionen zu formen. Am Ende zerbricht die Familie und die Musik, die durch die Geschichte weht, wird zum Abgesang auf eine Utopie: die Überwindung des Rassismus durch den Einklang von Schwarz und Weiß. Der Klang der Zeit ist selbst durch den Versuch bestimmt, aus Gegensätzen Harmonie zu erzeugen, wenn auch eine fragile. Der Roman verwebt die Geschichte der Musikerfamilie Strom mit der Entwicklung der amerikanischen Gesellschaft zwischen den 20er-Jahren und den Rassenunruhen im Los Angeles der 90er, zugleich aber verbindet der Roman auch die Denkwelten der Physik mit den Kunstwelten der Musik. Wie auch in seinen anderen Romanen, z.B. Schattenflucht und Galathea 2.2 betrachtet Powers Kunst und Wissenschaft nicht als Widersprüche, sondern als gegenseitig erhellende Versuche des Menschen, sich selbst und seine Welt zu verstehen und zu verändern. Die Melancholie des Abgesangs, die deutlich im Roman zu spüren ist, mag gerade darin liegen, dass weder Wissenschaft noch Kunst den Rassismus aus der Welt schaffen konnten. Das kann natürlich auch Powers nicht, und doch ist Der Klang der Zeit gerade deshalb ein sehr mutiges Buch, das ein Ideal zu verteidigen versucht, ohne die Realität leugnen zu wollen. --Peter Schneck. - Richard Powers ist einer der aufregendsten Romanciers der Gegenwart. In großangelegten Gesellschafts- und Familienpanoramen verknüpft er unsere Gefühle und Erfahrungen mit unserer Zeit und ihrem Wissen. Er arbeitete als Programmierer, als er seinen ersten Roman nach einer Fotografie von August Sander schrieb: "Drei Bauern auf dem Weg zum Tanz". Seither entstand ein großes Werk, darunter auch die Reportage "Das Buch Ich # 9", die schildert, was es bedeutet, der neunte Mensch auf der Erde zu sein, dessen Genom vollständig entschlüsselt ist. 2007 ausgezeichnet mit dem National Book Critics Circle Award. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 593.

Libro Original o primera edición
Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Printing. First edition, first printing (full number line). Quarter bound in publisher's black cloth over yellow boards, gilt lettering on spine. On Easter day, 1939, at Marian Anderson's epochal concert on the Washington Mall, David Strom, a German Jewish émigré scientist, meets Delia Daley, a young Philadelphia Negro studying to be a singer. Their mutual love of music draws them together, and--against all odds and better judgment--they marry. They vow to raise their children beyond time, beyond identity, steeped in song. But their three children must survive America's brutal here and now. Jonah, Joseph, and Ruth grow up during the Civil Rights era, come of age in the violent 1960s, and live out adulthood in the racially retrenched late century. Jonah, the eldest, "whose voice could make heads of state repent," follows a life in his parents' beloved classical music. Ruth, the youngest, chooses a militant activism and repudiates the white culture her brother represents. Joseph, the middle child and the narrator of this generational tale, struggles to remain connected to them both. THE TIME OF OUR SINGING is a story of self-invention, allegiance, race, cultural ownership, the compromised power of music, and the tangled loops of time that rewrite all belonging. . The volume is in perfect, pristine condition, unmarked, unread, tight, square and clean. The unclipped dust jacket ($27.00), has a large closed tear on the rear panel but is now in Mylar, else fine. FINE/GOOD. Small 4to 9" - 11" tall. 640 pp.

Covers have minor shelfwear to edges; publication date and other proof details on back cover. Binding strong and tight. 636pp. A few small marks on edge of text block. Contents clean and bright. "There is no other contemporary American writer quite like Richard Powers. He is, as Sir Cliff Richard once said of Elvis, "a phenomena". The Time of Our Singing is his eighth novel since the boy-genius published Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance in 1985, and, just into his mid-40s, he is a long way from "dropping the feather", as they say. Powers is the best example of an American novelist who straddles CP Snow's "two cultures": a trained musician who began a degree in physics and then switched to literature, who programmed computers while writing his first novel, Powers is at home in the arts and the sciences, and takes the divide between them both as the subject matter and the structural principle of his fiction. There is barely a page where the reader is not brought up by a startling image or a carefully worked idea. You would have to go back to Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus to find the experience of playing and listening to music so beautifully caught in words. Others may give us more complex characters, but it is rare to find a novel as intellectually and emotionally engaging as this" (The Guardian). RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions. All images are of the actual book for sale - no stock images are ever used. Thank you for looking at this listing.

A fine example of both book and dust jacket. Laid in to this copy is a card which has been signed by Powers for his German publisher. The card bears Powers exceedingly uncommon signature underneath the German text explaining the author's writing ethos; ' Es is mein zeil, weite Felder des Wissens und Denkens fur den Roman fruchtbar zu machen, aber am liebsten ohne Abstriche im Bereich von Emotion und Gefuhl. Richard Powers ' followed by the author's signature in black ink, and the name of the publisher, S. Fischer. The card is also fine. Signed by Author(s).
