Peadar Bair\u00e9ad<\/p>

Seo an deichi\u00fa h\u00farsc\u00e9al \u00f3 pheann l\u00edofa an \u00fadair ch\u00e1ili\u00fail Mheirice\u00e1naigh seo de bhunadh Mhanhattan, agus \u00fadar a chaitheann a laethe, ag babhtail idir Londain, P\u00e1ras, Berl\u00edn, agus Maine na St\u00e1t Aontaithe. T\u00e1 c\u00e1il idirn\u00e1isi\u00fanta bainte amach cheana f\u00e9in aige, mar \u00farsc\u00e9ala\u00ed, agus mar \u00fadar leabhair taistil. T\u00e1 a shaothar aistrithe go breis is sc\u00f3r teangacha iasachta, agus \u00e1ir\u00edtear \u201cThe Pursuit of Happiness<\/strong>\u201d, agus \u201cLeaving the World<\/strong>\u201d ar leabhair mh\u00f3r-r\u00e1chairte an lae inniu. <\/p>

Ach i dtaobh an leabhair shuimi\u00fail, inchreidte, corraitheach, seo, is d\u00f3cha go bhf\u00e9adf\u00e1 a r\u00e1, gurb \u00e9 <\/span>Thomas Nesbitt<\/span><\/strong> a phr\u00edomhcharactar, c\u00e9 go bhfuil \u00e1it faoi leith ag <\/span>Petra Dussmann<\/span><\/strong> sa sc\u00e9al freisin. Seo mar a chuireann an t-\u00fadar t\u00fas leis an sc\u00e9al iontach seo :-<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI was served with divorce papers this morning. I\u2019ve had better starts to the day. And though I knew they were coming, the actual moment when they landed in my hand still threw me. Because their arrival announced: This is the beginning of the end.\u201d <\/span><\/p>

D\u2019fh\u00e9adfainn smaoineamh ar th\u00fas n\u00edos measa! B\u2019in deireadh lena ph\u00f3sadh le Jan, ach le f\u00edrinne, n\u00ed raibh a chro\u00ed riamh sa ph\u00f3sadh c\u00e9anna sin, n\u00f3 ina bhean Jan, ach oiread. In\u00edon amh\u00e1in, Candace, a bh\u00ed orthu, agus ba ise gr\u00e1 geal a chro\u00ed. Ansin, tar \u00e9is d\u00f3 seal a chaitheamh ina ch\u00f3na\u00ed leis fh\u00e9in, i Maine sna St\u00e1it Aontaithe, fuair s\u00e9 litir, l\u00e1 amh\u00e1in a chuir cor eile ina chinni\u00faint. \u00d3 chathair Bherl\u00edn a th\u00e1inig an litir sin, agus ba \u00e9 ainm an t\u00e9 a sheol chuige \u00e9 n\u00f3, Dussmann, Petra Dussmann. Ba bheag n\u00e1r bha<\/span>in an litir sin radharc na s\u00fal de, n\u00f3, ba \u00ed an Dussmann ch\u00e9anna a mheall agus a mhill \u00e9, i laethe a \u00f3ige. Mar sin, bhain an litir sin an cl\u00e1r de umar na gcuimhn\u00ed d\u00f3, agus scaoil amach, ar fud na bhfud, chuimhn\u00ed iomad\u00fala faoi laethe a \u00f3ige, cuimhn\u00ed a bh\u00ed curtha faoin bhf\u00f3d aige le fada.<\/span><\/p>

Litir \u00f3 Bherl\u00edn<\/h1>

Th\u00f3g an litir sin, a th\u00e1inig chuige \u00f3 Bherl\u00edn, siar siar thar dhroichead na mblianta \u00e9, siar go dt\u00ed an t-am nuair nach raibh laethe a \u00f3ige caite ar fad aige f\u00f3s, agus \u00e9 tagtha go cathair Bherl\u00edn sa bhliain 1984, le bail eic\u00ednt a chur ar leabhar a bh\u00ed ar na boc\u00e1in aige, leabhar faoi Bherl\u00edn, chathair an Bhalla, cathair a bh\u00ed roinnte ina dh\u00e1 chuid ag Balla an fhuatha, Balla a choinnigh an t-Iarthar agus an t-Oirthear scartha \u00f3na ch\u00e9ile. Bh\u00ed socraithe aige bliain a chaitheamh i mbun an ghn\u00f3 sin, agus d\u00e1r nd\u00f3<\/span>igh bh\u00ed leabhar amh\u00e1in i gcl\u00f3 aige cheana, leabhar faoin \u00c9igipt.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cOver the next half-hour I sketched out how I wanted to spend a year living in the city, and write a book that would be very much a fiction that happened….twelve months in that Westerrn island floating within the Eastern bloc.\u201d <\/p>

B\u2019in an tionscnamh a bh\u00ed leagtha amach aige d\u00f3 fh\u00e9in. Bh\u00ed go maith, ach i rith na bliana sin, chuir a dh\u00e1n a ladar isteach ina sc\u00e9al agus thit s\u00e9 i ngr\u00e1 le Petra Dussmann, bean a ruaigeadh as an nGearm\u00e1in Thoir, sea, agus b\u00ed ag caint ar ghr\u00e1! Bh\u00ed an bheirt acu s\u00e1ite go dt\u00ed na cluasa in abhainn an ghr\u00e1, ach nach annamh a bh\u00edonn an gr\u00e1 c\u00e9anna saor \u00f3 bhuairt, is \u00f3 chr\u00e1 cro\u00ed, agus ba \u00e9 an dal\u00e1 ch\u00e9anna sin ag an bp\u00e9ire seo \u00e9. Nuair a tharla idir dh\u00e1il agus p\u00f3sadh iad, scaoileadh r\u00fan Phetra le Thomas, agus bh\u00ed an r\u00fan c\u00e9anna sin chomh fealltach, do-chreidte, gur chuir Thomas an ruaig ar Phetra, agus b\u2019in deireadh leis an gceangal ceana a bh\u00ed idir an mbeirt seo, a raibh socruithe p\u00f3sta fi\u00fa, d\u00e9anta acu cheana f\u00e9in. <\/p>

D\u2019imigh na blianta, agus anois, tar \u00e9is breis is sc\u00f3r de bhlianta a bheith ca<\/span>ite acu scartha go hioml\u00e1n \u00f3na ch\u00e9ile, agus Thomas ar ais sna St\u00e1it, \u00e9 p\u00f3sta le Jan, agus in\u00edon amh\u00e1in orthu, agus iadsan colscartha \u00f3na ch\u00e9ile freisin, faoi mar a chonaic muid i dtus an ailt seo. tagann an litir seo tr\u00edd an bpost, chuig Thomas, \u00f3 mhac Phetra Dussman, litir ina raibh dialann Phetra, dialann a d\u2019fh\u00e1g s\u00ed mar uacht ag Thomas….C\u00e9ard a bh\u00ed le l\u00e9amh aige sa dialann sin, an ea? Bhuel, caithfidh t\u00fa \u00e9 sin a fh\u00e1il amach dhuit fh\u00e9in tr\u00edd an leabhar iontach l\u00e1n-teannais, seo a l\u00e9amh. <\/span><\/p>

Leabhar neamhgh<\/span>n\u00e1ch, corraitheach, inchreidte. Tiocfaidh s\u00e9 idir th\u00fa fh\u00e9in is codladh na ho\u00edche! <\/span>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/span>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/span>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/span>                                                                                                  <\/span><\/p>
