George Saunders, proslul\u00fd americk\u00fd autor, se narodil v Amarillu v Texasu. Ne\u017e se vydal na svoji liter\u00e1rn\u00ed pou\u0165, Saunders z\u00edskal titul v oboru geofyziky na Colorado School of Mines. Po absolutoriu pracoval jako geofyzik v Indon\u00e9sii. Po sv\u00e9m n\u00e1vratu do Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1t\u016f se pot\u00fdkal s hled\u00e1n\u00edm zam\u011bstn\u00e1n\u00ed ve sv\u00e9m oboru. Ne\u00fanavn\u011b p\u0159ij\u00edmal r\u016fzn\u00e9 pr\u00e1ce, mimo jin\u00e9 jako vr\u00e1tn\u00fd, pokr\u00fdva\u010d, technick\u00fd spisovatel a pracovn\u00edk v jatk\u00e1ch.<\/p>\n\n
Saundersova v\u00e1\u0161e\u0148 pro psan\u00ed ho p\u0159ivedla k magistersk\u00e9mu studiu na Syracuse University, kde nyn\u00ed vyu\u010duje tv\u016fr\u010d\u00ed psan\u00ed. V roce 1996 vydal svou prvn\u00ed sb\u00edrku pov\u00eddek. Jeho jedine\u010dn\u00fd a \u010dasto humorn\u00fd styl mu vynesl uzn\u00e1n\u00ed kritik\u016f a \u0159adu ocen\u011bn\u00ed, v\u010detn\u011b \u010dty\u0159 cen National Magazine Awards for Fiction a MacArthur Fellowship.<\/p>\n\n
Saunders\u016fv pr\u016flomov\u00fd rom\u00e1n, \u201eLincoln v Bardu\u201c, z\u00edskal presti\u017en\u00ed Man Bookerovu cenu v roce 2017. Experiment\u00e1ln\u00ed p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh o du\u0161\u00edch zkoum\u00e1 z\u00e1rmutek prezidenta Abrahama Lincolna po smrti jeho 11let\u00e9ho syna Willieho. Rom\u00e1n se odehr\u00e1v\u00e1 na h\u0159bitov\u011b Oak Hill a prol\u00edn\u00e1 historick\u00e1 fakta a fikci, \u010d\u00edm\u017e vytv\u00e1\u0159\u00ed stra\u0161ideln\u00e9 a podn\u011btn\u00e9 vypr\u00e1v\u011bn\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
N\u00e1zev Saundersova rom\u00e1nu \u201eLincoln v Bardu\u201c odkazuje na buddhistick\u00fd koncept barda, co\u017e je p\u0159echodn\u00fd stav mezi \u017eivotem a smrt\u00ed. Saunders, praktikuj\u00edc\u00ed tibetsk\u00fd buddhista, \u010derp\u00e1 z tohoto konceptu, aby prozkoumal zku\u0161enosti postav se z\u00e1rmutkem a ztr\u00e1tou.<\/p>\n\n
Man Bookerova cena je jednou z nejpresti\u017en\u011bj\u0161\u00edch liter\u00e1rn\u00edch cen na sv\u011bt\u011b. Po mnoho let byla ud\u011blov\u00e1na v\u00fdhradn\u011b autor\u016fm z Velk\u00e9 Brit\u00e1nie, Irska a Commonwealthu. V roce 2014 v\u0161ak byla pravidla zm\u011bn\u011bna tak, aby mohl b\u00fdt zp\u016fsobil\u00fd jak\u00fdkoli rom\u00e1n napsan\u00fd v angli\u010dtin\u011b a vydan\u00fd ve Velk\u00e9 Brit\u00e1nii. Saunders se stal druh\u00fdm Ameri\u010danem, kter\u00fd tuto cenu z\u00edskal, po Paulu Beatty v roce 2016.<\/p>\n\n
Saundersovo v\u00edt\u011bzstv\u00ed vyvolalo jak chv\u00e1lu, tak kontroverze. N\u011bkter\u00e9 britsk\u00e9 liter\u00e1rn\u00ed osobnosti vyj\u00e1d\u0159ily obavy, \u017ee za\u0159azen\u00ed mezin\u00e1rodn\u00edch autor\u016f sn\u00ed\u017e\u00ed p\u0159\u00edle\u017eitosti pro britsk\u00e9 talenty. S\u00e1m Saunders v\u0161ak vyj\u00e1d\u0159il svou vd\u011b\u010dnost Spojen\u00e9mu kr\u00e1lovstv\u00ed a nazval ho \u201ekr\u00e1snou zem\u00ed\u201c.<\/p>\n\n
Saundersovo psan\u00ed se vyzna\u010duje zkoum\u00e1n\u00edm univerz\u00e1ln\u00edch t\u00e9mat, jako je z\u00e1rmutek, ztr\u00e1ta a lidsk\u00e1 p\u0159irozenost. Jeho postavy jsou \u010dasto nedokonal\u00e9 a srozumiteln\u00e9 a jeho p\u0159\u00edb\u011bhy jsou \u010dasto prostoupen\u00e9 \u010dern\u00fdm humorem, kter\u00fd odhaluje absurditu \u017eivota.<\/p>\n\n
George Saunders je pozoruhodn\u00fd americk\u00fd autor, jeho\u017e d\u00edlo sklidilo uzn\u00e1n\u00ed kritik\u016f a mezin\u00e1rodn\u00ed ohlas. Jeho jedine\u010dn\u00fd hlas a experiment\u00e1ln\u00ed styl zpochybnily liter\u00e1rn\u00ed konvence a inspirovaly novou generaci spisovatel\u016f.
