Description
In Michael Ondaatje’s novel, the intertwining of four lives—warped by fate—is rendered with subtlety and poetry on a deserted Italian villa at the end of World War II. And at the center of this intersection is the “English patient,” the “nameless” man, burned beyond recognition—an enigma and a challenge to those who pass near him.
The book provides the literary foundation for the film of the same name, which in 1997 received nine Oscars, but, as often happens, it is far broader and more fascinating than the movie (for example, the fates of the main characters here are traced up to 1958, unlike the screen version, which ends in 1945). According to reviews by overseas literary critics, it is a “novel of adventure, detective work, romance, and philosophy all at once.”
