Narration Toward Books The English Patient

With ravishing beauty and unsettling intelligence, Michael Ondaatje's Booker Prize-winning novel traces the intersection of four damaged lives in an Italian villa at the end of World War II. Hana, the exhausted nurse; the maimed thief, Caravaggio; the wary sapper, Kip: each is haunted by the riddle of the English patient, the nameless, burned man who lies in an upstairs room and whose memories of passion, betrayal, and rescue illuminate this book like flashes of heat lightning.

Rate Out Of Books The English Patient

Poetic and beautifully written, as if Ondaatje didn't write but painted each chapter. Unfortunately I have read the book after watching the movie, I wish I read the book first.A haunting love story, I have read years ago but still affects me today. One book makes Ondaatje a writer you can never forget.

I am going straight down the middle on this one and giving it three stars. I liked the beautiful use of the English language and the lovely descriptions. I liked some parts of the story such as the chapters about Kip. I did not like the parts where with the best will in the world I could not make real sense of what was occurring (possibly nothing I think). I did not like the love affair which seemed to have been very brief and ended very harshly. And I always prefer books where the ending

This feels like a classic piece of literature, one of those core foundation books taught in American Lit classes at liberal arts colleges. Perhaps it's because of all the classical references Michael Ondaatje places in the mouths of his character the English patient. Perhaps it is in the storytelling, concerning itself with the cerebral and almost entirely devoid of action except in the backstories. The poetic choice of words themselves may be the cause. Perhaps it's the World War II Italian

The desert could not be claimed or ownedit was a piece of cloth carried by winds, never held down by stones, and given a hundred shifting names...The same might be said of the characters in The English Patient. For this is a beautiful, artfully crafted novel about the mapping of identity within borders, set before and during World war two when borders were in continual flux and territorial conquest and possession were the name of the game. The narrative, like the abandoned villa in which the

I wrote a rather lengthily review of this novel for my blog (about 3 400 words), so I'll try to tone it down a bit for goodreads, limiting myself to explaining the plot and the framed narrative, and then move toward the conclusion. THE INTRODUCTION The English Patient (the novel) opens up with two characters, set in a specific time and place. A Canadian nurse nurses a patient that is presumably English (but nothing is certain) in an abandoned Italian villa as the Second World War is coming to

Absolutely stunning. The English Patient follows four characters and their brief but powerful months spent together in an abandoned Italian villa after World War II. The prose is lyrical. Ondaatje moves lithely through the inner voices of each character: Hana, the young Canadian nurse; Caravaggio, the thief; Kip, the sapper; and the mysterious eponymous English patient.What I loved most about this book was seeing, especially near the end, how each character, though stranger to one another, had

O, is for Ondaatje 2 StarsIm going to venture out of my normal review style here, and instead do a Q & A with Hana (the, erm... MC, maybe?!)Me: Hey Hana, whats up with you not leaving the Italian Villa despite the fact that there are corpses and mines littered everywhere and the war has ended already?Hana: I just dont think "The English Patient" would survive the transfer and I love my independence here. I mean where else can I give an immobile man sponge baths, inject him with morphine AND
