Pressestimmen
"Gerald Martin's translation is, surprisingly, lacklustre and off-key. But there is a vitality in Field Of Honour - the splash of spittle on your neck, the smell of gunpowder - that justifies Goytisolo's claims for Max Aub." Chris Dolan, Sunday Herald "Evocative, modernist novel chronicles the prelude to Spanish World." Bookseller "The exhilarating rush of revolution is thrillingly caught in the closing sequence as conflict finally erupts." Siobhan Murphy, Metro
Kurzbeschreibung
A contemporary of Lorca and Bunuel in Spain's Second Republic, Max Aub escaped into a life of exile after General Franco seized Barcelona. His masterpiece, acknowledged in Spain as one of the best accounts of the Spanish Civil War, is the five-novel cycle known as "The Magic Labyrinth" - never before translated into English. A playwright as well as a novelist, he brings the period alive through vibrant dialogue and a story that navigates the factional intrigues that eventually erupted onto the streets in violence. The protagonist of the first novel is Rafael Lopez Serrador, whose coming of age in Barcelona introduces a cast from all walks of city life - Catalan nationalists, anarchists, Falangists, government ministers and showgirls. Just as central a character is Barcelona itself, lovingly depicted. Rafael's adventures bring him into contact with the forces that were to destroy the Republic and determine the bloody course of the Spanish Civil War. Masterfully translated by Gerald Martin, author of "Gabriel Garcia Marquez: A Life", Maz Aub's novel is set to introduce to an English-speaking audience a classic of Spanish and Latin American literature - an account of the Spanish Civil War to compare with Ernest Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Excellent, but where's the rest?
6. Oktober 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Aub had a spare, direct style that flares with poetic energy. His characters, at least in Field of Honor, are sharply sketched, and the social terrain vividly defined. Why is this all that we have in English translation of The Magic Labyrinth? Though I equally lament it, I can see why the last two volumes of Weiss' Aesthetics of Resistance have been slow in coming; the style is challenging and reading is work, however well-rewarded. But Aub writes transparently. It's a shame he's not with us in full.

A True Dissapointment
10. April 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I love just about any and all books about the Spanish Civil War. As much as I wanted to like this book, it was a chore to get through it. All the writing is in short, twitter-like phrases. All the characters are presented not as living human beings, but as talking ideologues. I just cannot recommend this book. For a brilliant novel about this war, read David Boling's "Guerneica," or Alan Furst's "Night Soldiers."
