La historia de un atentado antifascista en la Roma de Mussolini reúne en la ciudad a una serie de personajes trágicamente singularizados, a veces fútiles, a veces grices, vacuamente triunfantes, doloridos o simplemente cansados. Una moneda de diez liras pasa de mano en mano creando un vínculo alegórico-alegoría que el espíritu de la Ciudad Inmortal empuja hacia el mito- entre personajes y temas, que se entrecruzan en estas páginas como transeúntes en las calles. > Puget Robert. Denier du rêve par Marguerite YOURCENAR (Plon).

This book consists of a series of vignettes of people living in Rome in 1933, during Mussolini's dictatorship. At first, there is no evident linkage beside the 10 lira piece than each character passes to another. As the novel progresses, however, real connections emerge between characters, creating a web that centers on a group of political dissidents. The story is interesting, if at times rather hard to follow -- memory becomes confused with reality, art with facts. The style is poetic, with some (perhaps a few too many) striking phrases. An interesting read, but a bit of a disappointment if compared with "Hadrian's Memoirs". Una delle opere giovanili della Yourcenar, scritto fra il 1933 e il 1936 che prende le mosse da un viaggio in Svizzera, Londra e Italia. Proprio in Italia, la scrittrice visitò Villa Adriana a Tivoli, rimanendone profondamente colpita. Ambientato nella Roma fascista, "Moneta del sogno" è stato definito giustamente un libro coraggioso, perché manifesta nettamente la posizione intellettuale e politica della scrittrice contraria alla dittatura e al fascismo. I nove episodi, senza titoli, sono legati alla vicenda di un attentato fallito contro Mussolini. Il filo che li unisce è la "moneta" che passa di mano in mano e che da il titolo al volume, una moneta comune denominatore di una condizione umana sofferta, Een minder geslaagde Yourcenar, deze keer. Het aaneenschakelen van personages en verhaalitems via een stuk van 10 lire dat van hand tot hand gaat, is een mooie vondst, maar de meerwaarde ervan voor het verhaal blijft onduidelijk. De thematiek: hoe gaan verschillende mensen om met het leven onder een dictator? (in dit geval Mussolini, in het Italiê van de jaren 30), wordt nogal saai uitgewerkt. En dan begin Yourcenar's handelsmerk, het debiteren van levenswijsheden, echt wel op de zenuwen te werken. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

During the space of a day in Rome in 1933, a ten-lira coin passes through the hands of nine people--including an aging artist, a prostitute, and a would-be assassin of Mussolini. The coin becomes the symbol of contact between human beings, each lost in private passions and nearly impenetrable solitude. ""A Coin in Nine Hands" has . . . passages that move close to poetry and a story that belongs in both literature and history."--Doris Grumbach, "Los Angeles Times Book Review" "What lingers at the end of "A Coin in Nine Hands" is the shadowiness and puppetlike vagueness of the Dictator, and the compelling specificity of the so-called 'common people' revolving all around him."--Anne Tyler, "The New Republic" "Within a few pages we have met half the major characters in this haunting, brilliantly constructed novel. . . . The studied perfection, the structural intricacy and brevity remind one of Camus. Yet by comparison, Yourcenar's prose is lavish, emotional and imagistic."--Cynthia King, "Houston Post" "Transcends its specific time and place to become a portrait of vividly delineated characters caught in the vise of a tragically familiar political situation."--"Publisher's Weekly" Best known as the author of "Memoirs of Hadrian" and "The Abyss, " Marguerite Yourcenar (1903-87) achieved countless literary honors and was the first woman ever elected to the Academie Francaise.
