Gutes Exemplar; der farb. illustr. Einband stw. leicht berieben. - Deutsche EA. - Vortitelblatt mit Widmung von Louis Begley (an Reinald Nohal, Paris Bar) und SIGNIERT. - Louis Begley (* 6. Oktober 1933 in Stryj, damals Polen, heute Ukraine, als Ludwik Begleiter) ist ein amerikanischer Schriftsteller polnisch-jüdischer Herkunft. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg emigrierte seine Familie in die Vereinigten Staaten, wo Begley als Rechtsanwalt tätig war. Erst 1991 trat er mit dem autobiografisch geprägten Roman Lügen in Zeiten des Krieges literarisch in Erscheinung. Von seinen seither veröffentlichten Werken wurden insbesondere die Romane um den pensionierten Rechtsanwalt Schmidt populär. ... (wiki) // Ben ist brillant - ein Mann mit Stil, gebildet und attraktiv, im besten Alter, beruflich erfolgreich. Dank seiner gesellschaftlichen und geschäftlichen Triumphe sowie seiner nicht seltenen Liebesabenteuer gelingt es ihm immer wieder, seine Kindheit als polnischer Jude während des Zweiten Weltkriegs zu verdrängen. Ben, perfekter Jongleur im Zentrum internationaler Hochfinanz, leidet unter einer gravierenden Schwäche: "Immer dann, wenn lebenswichtige Entscheidungen auf dem Spiel standen, kam er, der pünktlichste, zuverlässigste Mensch unter der Sonne, zu spät." Selbst eine große Liebe kann den Weg, den das Schicksal für ihn vorgesehen hat, nicht ändern. Der Mann, der zu spät kam ist ein großer Roman - eine ungemein spannende, bewegende Lektüre. Begley schildert "die Erfahrung einer alles verschlingenden Einsamkeit mit jener großen Lakonie und bewegenden Intensität, die schon seinen ersten Roman Lügen in Zeiten des Krieges auszeichnete".
