Product Description

Product Description

In his most famous and perhaps most typical work, Robbe-Grillet explores his principle preoccupation, the meaning of reality. The novel is set on a tropical banana plantation and the action is seen through the eyes of a narrator who never appears in person, never speaks and never acts. He is a point of observation, his personality only to be guessed at, watching every movement of the other two characters' actions and events as they flash like moving pictures across the distorting screen of a jealous mind. The result is one of the most important and influential books of our time, a completely integrated masterpiece that has already become a classic.


From the Back Cover

Alain Robbe-Grillet is one of the best-known post-war French novelists, the principal theoretician and spokesman of the 'nouveau roman', the most important school of French contemporary fiction that looks at reality in a new subjective way and has changed our conception of the novel.

In Jealousy, Robbe-Grillet's most famous and perhaps his most typical novel, he explores his principal preoccupation, the meaning of reality. The novel is set on a tropical banana plantation and the action is seen through the eyes of a narrator who never appears in person, never speaks and never acts. He is a point of observation, his personality only to be guessed at, watching every movement of the other two characters' actions and events as they flash like moving pictures across the distorting screen of a jealous mind. The result is one of the most important and influential books of our time, a completely integrated masterpiece that has already become a classic. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Though it's a cliché, this is something everyone should read, 25 Feb 2005
This review is from: Jealousy (Jupiter Books) (Paperback)
This book is quite simply weird, involving and is amazing to read. You are literally placed into the varying thought processes of who is assumed to be a man, the husband of a dark haired woman, both are never actually named in the text. The setting is amazingly well-suited for the overall aesthetic of the novel, to be honest I thought this would be incredibly boring but instead I found myself fascinated. It is best to read with some rapidity and in as few sittings as possible due to the nature of the text.

I am aware that this review is mostly abstract but I believe that attempting to detail the style will reveal too much about the book itself, you honestly need to try it for yourself.
