1. Doris Lessing - Das Fünfte Kind / The Fifth Child - LESELUST-Rezension
Rezension von Daniela Ecker.
http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/lessing_doris_kind.htm
Doris Lessing - Das fünfte Kind
Originaltitel: The Fifth Child
Roman. btb (Bertelsmann Taschenbuch) 1988
220 Seiten, ISBN: 3442720753
Harriet und David lernen sich auf einer Betriebsweihnachtsfeier kennen. Beide passen nicht so recht in ihre Zeit, in die wilden 60er - die propagierte freie Liebe entspricht nicht ihren Grundsätzen.
Sie wünschen sich etwas ganz anderes - eine große Familie, ein weitläufiges, lebendiges Haus, gefüllt mit vielen Kindern.
Gegen die Unkenrufe aus dem Familien- und Freundeskreis heiraten sie sehr rasch, kaufen ein herrliches altes Haus außerhalb Londons, das sie sich eigentlich gar nicht leisten können - zumal Harriet sofort schwanger wird.
Doch es scheint zu klappen - zum ersten Weihnachtsfest erscheint die ganze Familie, Freunde, alle finden sie Platz, genießen es, sich zwanglos um den einladend großen Tisch zu versammeln. Ein voller Erfolg - und dazu kommt noch etwas finanzielle Unterstützung. Harriets Mutter hilft ihr zu Hause, denn, etwas zu schnell, ist schon das zweite Kind unterwegs.
In rascher Folge erhöht sich die Kinderzahl auf Vier - genug für den Moment, wie sie beide finden. Harriet ist erschöpft von den ständigen Schwangerschaften. Als sie dann merkt, dass sich schon wieder etwas eingenistet hat, ist ihre Reaktion zum ersten Mal nicht so freudig wie bisher.

2. Doris Lessing - Ben In Der Welt / Ben, In The World - LESELUST-Rezension
Die Fortsetzung zu Das f nfte Kind . Rezension von Daniela Ecker.
http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/lessing_doris_ben.htm
Doris Lessing - Ben in der Welt
Originaltitel: Ben, In the World
251 Seiten, ISBN: 3442727413
Ben, das "fünfte Kind" der Lovatts, ist mittlerweile achtzehn geworden. Sein Elternhaus hatte er schon relativ früh verlassen, um mit einer Bande von Jugendlichen herumzuziehen. Nun war er in London gelandet. Sein Erscheinungsbild hatte mit seinem Alter wenig gemein; man hätte ihn eher für einen Mittdreißiger gehalten, mit seiner gedrungenen Statur, dem kurzen Hals und der eigenartigen Kopf- und Bartbehaarung.
In London trifft er auf eine alte Frau, die versucht, ihm weiterzuhelfen. Als sie erkrankt, fühlt er sich das erste Mal in seinem Leben nützlich, weil er ein wenig für sie sorgen kann - doch dann muss sie ins Krankenhaus, und Ben steht wieder auf der Straße.
Rita, eine Prostituierte, die sich den sentimentalen Luxus leistete, Ben gern zu haben, war seine zweite Anlaufstelle; und deren Zuhälter hatte die grandiose Idee: Bens Aussehen, seine Naivität müsste doch auszunutzen sein. So schickt er ihn mit einem Koffer voller Drogen nach Frankreich...
Ben ist nun also erwachsen geworden - und zahm. Während er im "Fünften Kind" ständig eine latente Bösartigkeit ausstrahlt, verkörpert er hier ein Opfer; ein Mensch, der mit dem Stand der Technik nicht zurande kommt, der wirkt als wäre er ein genetischer Rückfall in die Zeit der Neandertaler.

    9. Life Is Stronger Than Fiction -- At 76, Doris Lessing Wants To Be Alone
    Interview by Helena de Bertodano of The Daily Telegraph.
    http://mural.uv.es/vemivein/0411two.htm
    April 11, 1996
    Life is stronger than fiction at 76, Doris Lessing wants to be alone
    HELENA de BERTODANO, The Daily Telegraph LONDON - It is unnerving to read Doris Lessing's opinion of interviews just before meeting her. "How many have I sat through, uninterested in the questions I am asked, which I have probably answered dozens of times before. I do this, I hope, amiably . . ." I ask her about this and she smiles, indeed amiably: "I probably exaggerate. But I do not understand the fascination with the private lives of well-known people. They are actually rather similar to the lives of anyone else." She describes the frustration she felt during a 14-week worldwide tour to promote her autobiography. "I told my publishers it would be far more useful for everyone if I stayed at home, writing another book. But they wouldn't listen. This time round I stamped my little foot and said I would not move from my house and would do only one interview." The reason for a recurrence of the ordeal is the completion of her latest novel - her first in eight years. Entitled Love, Again, it is an exploration of the nature of grief, characterised by a man who has fallen in love with a woman he has never met. Nor will he ever meet her as she died before he was born. The idea came from a friend of hers, a man who fell in love with his great-aunt after seeing her portrait. "When someone tells you something like that, of course you smile. But it was no laughing matter. I tried to make practical remarks to him, but he wasn't going to have it. In fact committed suicide."

    Frances Lennox ladles out dinner every night to the motley, exuberant, youthful crew assembled around her hospitable ableher two sons and their friends, girlfriends, ex-friends, and ftesh-off-the-street friends. It's the early 1960s and certainly "everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds." Except financial circumstances demand that Frances and her sons Eve with her proper ex-mother-in-law. And her ex-husband, Comrade Johnny, has just dumped his second wife's problem child at Frances's feet. And the world's political landscape has suddenly become surreal beyond imagination.... Set against the backdrop of the decade that changed the world forever, The Sweetest Dream is a riveting look at a group of people who dared to dream-and faced the inevitable cleanup afterward from one of the greatest writers of our time.

    Talking about playing the classics, including Hamlet JUDI DENCH Actor Reflects on childhood and deciding to be an actress Classic Audio Interviews Doris Lessing b1919 Born in Iran and brought up in Zimbabwe (then the British colony of Southern Rhodesia), Doris Lessing spent her childhood on a remote farm in the African bush. Essentially self-educated, she dropped out of school at 13, and married 6 years later. A supporter of Communism, she left her husband and young family for Gottfried Lessing, the local Communist leader, whom she married in the 1940s. Unpopular in the colony not only for her Communist views but also for her deep commitment to African rights, Lessing's first novel, The Grass is Singing, was a critique of racial politics in Rhodesia. In 1949 she left the country with her young son and came to England about the time her novel was published. This was followed the next year by African Stories, a collection of short stories. In London she wrote a series of autobiographical novels from 1952-69, the Children of Violence series, which explored the developing consciousness of her heroine, Martha Quest. In her life as in her work, Lessing now revealed an increasing disillusion with Communism, parting from it altogether in 1954.
