Julien Green Libri

Julian Green was the first American to be elected to the Academie Francaise. This third volume of his memoirs encompasses his 20th year, when he traveled to the U.S. for the first time and fell passionately in love with a young man. Green, born in Paris to American parents, was sent by his father to complete his education at the University of Virginia, where he experienced feelings of intense isolation because he was a Roman Catholic in the Protestant South and alone (so he believed) in his sexual feelings for other male students. Torn between desire and the dictates of his religion, Green tormented himself with guilt and vowed to become a priest.

Seine innere Zerrissenheit steigert sich noch, als er sich in Phoebe, die schöne Frau seines Verwandten, verliebt. Den unzweideutigen Brief, den er ihr schreibt, fängt der Ehemann ab und tut, als ob nichts sei. Unvergleichlich und mit höchster Spannung beschreibt Julien Green das Drama zwischen unstillbarer Leidenschaft und Moral.
