Inhalt
»Gerontius« is the story of a real voyage made by Sir Edward Elgar, the celebrated composer of »Land of Hope and Glory«, the very embodiment of English patriotism. In 1923 he sets off from Liverpool for Brazil, intending to travel up the Amazon to Manaos. His steamer moves up the great river into the primeval landscape. He is on his way to a meeting with a woman from his past. In telling the story of his journey, Hamilton-Paterson evokes the melancholy of a man who has seen the world he knew swept away by the Great War, a war against Germany of his beloved Beethoven and Schumann. This novel explores the waning of creative genius and the effect of changing times on an artist imprisoned in his own immense reputation.
