Vraag 7
Een vader overleeft een Japans interneringskamp, in het Londen van vlak voor de Eerste Wereldoorlog hebben twee schrijvers een affaire, een jongeman ontkomt maar net aan de verdrinkingsdood – Vraag 7 is een gloedvolle ode van Booker Prize-winnaar Richard Flanagan aan zijn familiegeschiedenis en een verbluffend mozaïek van de menselijke conditie. Meesterverteller Flanagan onderzoekt op poëtische wijze hoe het kleine en het grote, het persoonlijke en het historische elkaar voortdurend beïnvloeden. Vraag 7 is zowel een liefdesverhaal als een meditatie over schuld, overleven en de eeuwige drang van de mens om betekenis te vinden en te geven. Richard Flanagan (Tasmanië, 1961) is een Australische schrijver van veelvuldig bekroonde romans. In 2014 won hij de Man Booker Prize voor zijn roman De smalle weg naar het verre noorden en in 2024 de Baillie Gifford Prize voor Vraag 7, waarmee hij de eerste schrijver is die zowel de belangrijkste Britse fictie- als non-fictieprijs won.

De smalle weg naar het verre noorden
In een uitzichtloos krijgsgevangenenkamp aan de Birma-Siam-dodenspoorlijn wordt de Australische legerarts Dorrigo Evans achtervolgd door zijn affaire met de jonge vrouw van zijn oom. Terwijl hij alles in het werk stelt om zijn patiënten van uithongering, cholera en andere gruwelijkheden te redden, krijgt hij een brief die zijn leven voor altijd zal veranderen. De smalle weg naar het verre noorden is een meesterwerk van ongekende schoonheid over de vele vormen van goed en kwaad, en de liefde die ondanks de onbarmhartigheid van de oorlog toch altijd boven komt drijven. Het is het coming-of-ageverhaal van een oorlogsheld die hunkert naar erkenning en geconfronteerd wordt met alles wat hij heeft verloren. Richard Flanagan (Tasmanië, 1961) is een Australische schrijver van veelvuldig bekroonde romans. Hij ontving in 2024 de Baillie Gifford Prize voor Question 7, waarmee hij de eerste schrijver is die zowel de belangrijkste Britse fictie- als non-fictieprijs won.

In 2024 werd onder de titel The Narrow Road to the Deep North een veelgeprezen miniserie uitgebracht die gebaseerd is op de roman.

Domanda numero 7
"Senza il bacio di Rebecca West H.G. Wells non sarebbe scappato in Svizzera a scrivere un libro in cui tutto bruciava, senza il libro di H.G. Wells Leo Szilard non avrebbe mai avuto l'idea di una reazione nucleare a catena, senza l'idea di una reazione nucleare a catena Szilard non sarebbe mai piombato nel terrore e non avrebbe mai convinto Einstein a fare pressione su Roosevelt, senza le pressioni di Einstein su Roosevelt non ci sarebbe stato alcun Progetto Manhattan, senza il Progetto Manhattan Thomas Ferebee non sgancia nessuna bomba su Hiroshima alle 8.15 del 6 agosto 1945 a 10.000 chilometri di altezza, non ci sono bombe né su Hiroshima né su Nagasaki, 100.000, 160.000 o 200.000 persone continuano a vivere e mio padre muore. La poesia forse non produce eventi, ma un romanzo ha distrutto Hiroshima e senza Hiroshima io non esisto, queste parole si cancellano e io con esse." Restando in bilico tra i generi, Richard Flanagan intreccia vicende intime e passaggi cruciali del Novecento in una narrazione che interroga l'amore, il caso, la memoria e il destino. Domanda numero 7 è un inno alla terra che ci vede nascere e alla famiglia che ci fa crescere, è un'ipnotica fusione di sogno, storia e memoria che racconta magistralmente come le nostre vite nascano dalle storie degli altri. E da quelle che inventiamo su noi stessi.

Tasmanian Literature
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tasmania, given its small geographic size and population has a strong literary culture. Historically Tasmania provides an interesting literary background with visits from early European explorers such as the Dutchman Abel Tasman, the Frenchmen Bruni d'Entrecasteaux and Marion du Fresne and then the English explorers Matthew Flinders and George Bass. The colonisation of Tasmania was characterised by deteriorated relations with the indigenous Aboriginal people and a harsh convict heritage. These early elements of Tasmanian history are found both in the large number of colonial sandstone buildings and in the place names.
