Love Story af Erich Segal, 1971. Hodder Paperbacks. Antal stjerner: 4\/5<\/em><\/p>\n

Findes k\u00e6rlighed ved f\u00f8rste blik egentlig og passer det ligeledes at mods\u00e6tninger tiltr\u00e6kkes, n\u00e5r det g\u00e6lder k\u00e6rlighed?<\/p>\n

Segal tager i denne bog sine l\u00e6sere med til det \u00f8stlige USA, hvor Harvard University og Radcliffe College ligger lige i n\u00e6rheden af hinanden og vi m\u00f8der Oliver Barrett IV, som g\u00e5r p\u00e5 Harvard, da han er ovre p\u00e5 det n\u00e6rliggende Radcliffe Library, hvor Jenny Cavilleri tilf\u00e6ldigvis g\u00e5r. Han er uden tvivl ganske interesseret ved allerf\u00f8rste blik, men det er ikke helt s\u00e5 nemt at finde ud af, om hun har det ligesom han har det. Der er en ganske speciel kemi mellem dem og han inviterer hende til en hockeykamp, hvor han selv er p\u00e5 banen. Hun venter p\u00e5 ham efter kampen og han tager sin chance med et kys:<\/p>\n

\u201cLike instinctively, I kissed her lightly on the forehead.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDid I say you could?\u201d she said.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDid I say you could kiss me?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSorry. I was carried away.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We were pretty much alone out there, and it was dark and cold and late. I kissed her again. But not on the forehead and not lightly. It lasted a long nice time. When we stopped kissing, she was still holding on to my sleeves.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like it,\u201d she said.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that I like it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

De kommer fra vidt forskellige k\u00e5r og dette bliver mere og mere tydeligt efterh\u00e5nden i deres forhold. Olivers familie er en af de familier, hvor der er bygninger opkaldt efter dem p\u00e5 campus og Jenny er datter af en bager p\u00e5 Rhode Island. Hun ynder derfor at kalde ham for \u201dPreppie\u201d (ogs\u00e5 fordi han er en sportsn\u00f8rd), men da de vil gifte sig i en ung alder, er det ikke alle, som er helt enige. Oliver m\u00e5 selv finansiere sin sidste studietid og Jenny m\u00e5 arbejde som l\u00e6rer. Livet som nygifte er h\u00e5rdt, men deres k\u00e6rlighed er st\u00e6rk:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a single word can describe our daily life during those first three years, it is “scrounge.” Every waking moment we were concentrating on how the hell we would be able to scrape up enough money to do whatever it was we had to do. Usually it was just break even. And there’s nothing romantic about it, either. <\/em><\/p>\n

Remember the famous stanza in Omar Khayam? You know, the book of verses underneath the bough, the loaf of bread, the jug of wine and so forth? Substitute Scott on Trusts for that book of verses and see how this poetic vision stacks up against my idyllic existence. Ah, paradise? No, bullshit. All I’d think about is how much that book was (could we get it secondhand?) and where, if anywhere, we might be able to charge that bread and wine. And then how we might ultimately scrounge up the dough to pay off our debts. Life changes. Even the simplest decision must be scrutinized by the ever vigilant budget committee of your mind.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Men hvor st\u00e6rk er k\u00e6rligheden i modgang og n\u00e5r Oliver og Jenny nogensinde at opleve medgang inden det er for sent?<\/p>\n

Sikke en k\u00e6rlighedshistorie! Jeg var vild med Segals karakterer og de er nok de mest flabede mennesker, som jeg l\u00e6nge har l\u00e6st om. Deres kemi er helt fantastisk og selvom man fra starten ved, at de ikke f\u00e5r et langt og lykkeligt liv sammen, s\u00e5 krydser man hele tiden fingre for at de trods alt n\u00e5r at opleve noget medgang. Selvom det er en kort bog p\u00e5 blot 127 sider, s\u00e5 er det s\u00e5 st\u00e6rk en fort\u00e6lling, at man ikke kan lade v\u00e6re med at f\u00e6lde en t\u00e5re eller to, n\u00e5r sidste side i denne bog er vendt. Jeg ved, at der er en forts\u00e6ttelse og en filmatisering af den og hvis de blot er halvt s\u00e5 enest\u00e5ende som denne bog, s\u00e5 er de bestemt v\u00e6rd at ops\u00f8ge.<\/p>\n

Alt i alt en bem\u00e6rkelsesv\u00e6rdig lille bog om k\u00e6rligheden mellem to mennesker, som m\u00f8der hinanden ganske unge og hvis kemi er helt vidunderlig.<\/p>\n

PS. Begyndelsen af denne bog er f\u00f8lgende og den er blandt de mest hjertesk\u00e6rende jeg nogensinde har l\u00e6st: \u201cWhat can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died? \u00a0That she was beautiful. And brilliant. That she loved Mozart and Bach. And the Beatles. And me.\u201d<\/p>\n
