Story4.5 out of 5 stars 22
Lila, homeless and alone after years of roaming the countryside, steps inside a small-town Iowa church - the only available shelter from the rain - and ignites a romance and a debate that will reshape her life. She becomes the wife of a minister, John Ames, and begins a new existence while trying to make sense of the life that preceded her newfound security. Neglected as a toddler, Lila was rescued by Doll, a canny young drifter, and brought up by her in a hardscrabble childhood.

Jack tells the story of John Ames Boughton, the loved and grieved-over prodigal son of a Presbyterian minister in Gilead, Iowa, a drunkard and a ne'er-do-well. In segregated St. Louis sometime after World War II, Jack falls in love with Della Miles, an African American high school teacher, also a preacher's child, with a discriminating mind, a generous spirit and an independent will. Their fraught, beautiful story is one of Robinson's greatest achievements.

Auf dem Sterbebett schreibt John Ames einen Brief an seinen siebenjährigen Sohn. Dem Kind will er alles erklären: Die Einsicht, mit der man das eigene Leben auf einen Schlag begreift, den Trost, der in einer einzelnen Berührung liegen kann, und den Ort, der sein Ende beschließt: Gilead, die kleine Stadt unter dem unermesslichen Himmel des Westens, leicht wie Staub und so schwer wie die Welt.

Senza un soldo, senza una casa, Jack passa la notte al Bellefontaine, il cimitero per bianchi di St. Louis. Là nessuno fa caso alla sua giacca sgualcita, al volto emaciato. Ma quella notte Jack non è solo. Una donna gentile cammina per gli stessi viali, una donna che non dovrebbe essere là. Da perfetto gentiluomo, che pure non è, Jack la scorterà fino al mattino cercando di proteggerla da pericoli e malintenzionati.

Glory, trentotto anni e il cuore a pezzi, torna nella natia Gilead per prendersi cura del padre, il pastore Robert Boughton. Pochi mesi dopo bussa alla porta di casa anche Jack, la pecora nera della famiglia, il figlio piú amato, il piú corrotto, il piú smarrito. Quel ritorno tanto atteso mette l'anziano padre di fronte alla paura di farsi ancora del male, al dovere della comprensione, alla vera natura dell'amore.

Lila porta con sé un bagaglio fatto soltanto di ricordi e delusioni quando raggiunge la cittadina di Gilead. Ma, varcando per la prima volta la soglia di una chiesa in cerca di un riparo, incontra la voce calda e sicura del reverendo John Ames e finalmente può smettere di combattere. Non importa che lui sia colto e lei ignorante, non importa da quale inferno venga lei o quanta vita abbia davanti lui. Non importa che lei abbia fatto la prostituta né che lui abbia visto morire la moglie e il figlio che stava mettendo al mondo.

John Ames Boughton, Jack, er den fortabte søn af Gileads presbyterianske præst. Han er stukket af hjemmefra og lever som hjemløs i St. Louis. Her forelsker han sig voldsomt i den afro-amerikanske Della Miles, en generøs, uafhængig high school-lærer, der også er barn af en prædikant. Jack og Dellas dybtfølte, plagede og uheldsvangre kærlighedshistorie i 1950’ernes segregerede St. Louis resonerer med alle paradokser i det amerikanske liv - dengang og nu. En fortælling om skyld, skam, kærlighed, forventninger, skuffelse og et møde i poesien.

Gilead é o segundo romance de uma das mais brilhantes autoras americanas contemporâneas, que compõe com sua escrita um bordado ao mesmo tempo sutil e avassalador — certamente um desafio a uma tradução tão primorosa como essa, de Maria Helena Rouanet. Esse livro é uma declaração de amor incondicional à vida, mesmo assombrada por Deus e um lamento por sua brevidade. Aclamado pela crítica e pelo público, foi o vencedor do Pulitzer de 2005.
