Neuware - Douglas Stuart gewinnt mit »Shuggie Bain« den Booker Prize 2020»Ein Debüt, das sich wie ein Meisterwerk liest.« The Washington Post Shuggie ist anders, zart, fantasievoll und feminin, und das ausgerechnet in der Tristesse und Armut einer Arbeiterfamilie im Glasgow der 1980er-Jahre, mit einem Vater, der virile Potenz über alles stellt. Shuggies Herz gehört der Mutter, Agnes, die ihn versteht und der grauen Welt energisch ihre Schönheit entgegensetzt, Haltung mit makellosem Make-up, strahlend weißen Kunstzähnen und glamouröser Kleidung zeigt- und doch Trost immer mehr im Alkohol sucht. Sie zu retten ist Shuggies Mission, eine Aufgabe, die er mit absoluter Hingabe und unerschütterlicher Liebe Jahr um Jahr erfüllt, bis er schließlich daran scheitern muss.Schauspieler Mark Wascke interpretiert die Geschichte über das Elend der Armut und die Beharrlichkeit der Liebe- tieftraurig und zugleich von ergreifender Zärtlichkeit.

Paperback. Condition: New. New; Glasgow, 1981. A cidade está morrendo. A pobreza, aumentando. A esperança, desaparecendo. Agnes Bain sempre esperou por mais. Ela sonhava com coisas grandiosas: uma casa com entrada particular, uma vida confortável. Quando seu segundo marido, um taxista mulherengo, sai de casa, ela e os três filhos se veem presos em uma cidade mineradora dizimada pela política da então primeira-ministra Margaret Thatcher. Enquanto Agnes se entrega cada vez mais ao álcool em busca de conforto, seus filhos tentam salvá-la. Porém, um a um, vão desistindo porque precisam salvar a si mesmos.Mesmo com os próprios problemas, o único que não cede é Shuggie. Apesar de suas tentativas de ser um "menino normal", todos acham que há "algo de errado" com ele. Agnes quer apoiar e proteger o filho, mas a força de seu vício é tamanha que eclipsa todos ao seu redor, inclusive seu amado Shuggie, que acaba sendo vítima de abuso sexual sem ter a menor ideia de que está sofrendo uma violência.A crueldade da pobreza, os limites do amor, o vazio do orgulho, a violência dos vícios, a dor da perda e da autodescoberta. Tudo isso está em A história de Shuggie Bain, um livro de estreia comovente sobre o amor irrestrito e inexplicável que somente as crianças sentem por seus pais.; 528 pages.
