Produktbeschreibungen
From the Back Cover
Alain Robbe-Grillet is one of the best-known post-war French novelists, the principal theoretician and spokesman of the 'nouveau roman', the most important school of French contemporary fiction that looks at reality in a new subjective way and has changed our conception of the novel.
In Jealousy, Robbe-Grillet's most famous and perhaps his most typical novel, he explores his principal preoccupation, the meaning of reality. The novel is set on a tropical banana plantation and the action is seen through the eyes of a narrator who never appears in person, never speaks and never acts. He is a point of observation, his personality only to be guessed at, watching every movement of the other two characters' actions and events as they flash like moving pictures across the distorting screen of a jealous mind. The result is one of the most important and influential books of our time, a completely integrated masterpiece that has already become a classic.

In diesem Buch geht es nicht um eine Geschichte im klassischen Sinne. Der Erzähler beschreibt eher Dinge, die die Handlung umgeben, als die Handlung selber. Der Erzähler bricht die Erzählung der Handlung immer wieder ab, um sie zu wiederholen, oder um eine Wiederholung der Handlung mit fast den gleiche Worten zu beschreiben. Immer wieder wendet er sich der genauen Beschreibung von Gegenständen zu. Eine Flucht vielleicht des Leidenden und psychisch Gelähmten vor der weiteren Entwicklung der dabei abgebrochenen Erzählfragmente? Man muss in dieses Buch abtauchen. Ich denke noch oft an "Die Jalousie". Sind das die Nachklänge, die nur richtige Literatur auslöst?

Stunning and original, dark and mind-warping
4. Oktober 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
When I first read "Jealousy," I had never read anything else like it--because there is nothing else like it.
For starters, the book is written in first person, yet it never uses the words I, me, my, mine, we, our, or us, or any other first person posessives. When it's time for dinner, instead of saying, "And now we sit down to eat," the author says something like "And now it is time for dinner," and he describes there being three plates, and mentions two other people eating.
Also, the book is incredibly precise in its details. It names every tree in a bananna forest, spends pages describing a woman brushing her hair, and meticulously records where every shadow in every corner of every room falls, to the point that if he hasn't yet described a part of a room, you wonder, "Well, what's in THAT corner?"
As a result of this unique perspective, and of the author's close attention to detail, the reader forgets the story is in first person at all, and grows to trust the book as an exact, almost scientific account of everything going on.
But, what's going on isn't science--it's an affair. It's the narrator's wife having an affair with a neighbor, in a hot, foreign, plantation-style setting. As the narrator gets more suspicious and prejudiced, so does the reader. As the narrator gets more distrustful and angry, so do you.
This book is brilliant--it's French experimentalism at its best. It explores themes of love and identity and jealousy and reality (despite its author claiming he wants the reader not to find any intended symbolism in it, but only to observe it as one would real life). It's antilinear and unconventional, and explores several dark motifs, such as a squashed centipede on a wall that seems more and more violent with every mention, and with every moment passed in the narrator's growing rage and paranoia.
At times this book may be hard to read, but it's always worth it, and it's always genius. Buy it, but it, buy it, buy it. Your mind will never be the same again.

Compared to his other works, i did not enjoy it as much. But this is a brilliant writer. Anything he writes overflows with creativity. I recommend this book. But i recommend The Voyeurs or The Erasers first.

Jealousy by Alain Robbe-Grillet
5. Januar 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I bought this book for a class I had, and it wasn't really the kind of book I usually read. I found there to be no plot line and it bored me to death. It's good if you like a story that is focused on what's written between the lines.
