Soft
'[An } erudite, immensely entertaining book...Mount makes for a delightful guide' -- Literary Review From troubadours to Twitter: a thousand years of feelings, fads, and furious sentiment, from renowned essayist Ferdinand Mount. Whatever we think we feel, you can be sure that the past has had a part to play in it. In Soft, Ferdinand Mount tells the millennium-long history of emotion through delightful snapshots, often mischievous storytelling and a masterly command of history. Revealing all the ways people in the past expressed their grief and joy, Mount explores the shifting importance societies have placed on empathy for the misfortunes of others. Each seismic moment, Mount argues, from the French Revolution to Civil Rights, has had a corresponding sentimental revolution that has fuelled great political turning points and come to define human civilization. But during this long history, powerful feelings have frequently come under attack. No one wants to be accused of being

Karaktären
I en tid präglad av massarbetslöshet och utsatthet under det socialt turbulenta 1920-talet, skissas i denna roman förhållandet mellan en far och hans son. Vi möter skuggsidorna hos två starka karaktärers kamp för att hävda sin plats i tillvaron den fruktade kronofogden Dreverhaven, och hans utomäktenskaplige son Jacob Katadreuffes väg från misär och misslyckande, till en lovande framtid som advokat. Ferdinand Bordewijk (1884 1965) var jurist och är ett av den moderna nederländska litteraturens främsta namn. Han introduceras här för första gången på svenska. Med psykologiskt skarpsinne tecknar han i denna sin främsta roman en ung mans inre strid och klassresa från utanförskap, till erkännande och insikt och det höga pris han betalar för att lyckas. Det är även en levande skildring av hamnstaden Rotterdam och människans villkor i en hänsynslös tid, av mellankrigstidens idéströmningar och framtidsvisioner. Karaktären filmatiserades 1998, i regi av Mike van Diem, och vann då en Oscar för bästa utländska film.
