Pormenores da obraThe Patience Stone por Atiq Rahimi (2008)
![]() Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. This is a quick, emotionally powerful read. The novel takes place entirely in one room where the main character is caring for her injured and comatose husband, which gives it the feel of a play. It's a little simplistic, and I'm not sure how to parse the ending, but overall an interesting look at relationships, power, and autonomy. ( ![]() > SYNGUÉ SABOUR.

Quatrième ouvrage du poète afghan Atiq Rahimi, “Syngué sabour, Pierre de patience” conte l'histoire d'une Afghane qui vient de perdre son mari, soldat d'Allah. A travers des mots brûlants de rage et de désir, c'est avant tout le récit d'une libération. 'you are alive for my sake, for the sake of my secrets', 4 Aug. 2014 By sally tarbox This review is from: The Patience Stone (Kindle Edition) Short (136 p) novel, set in a small, stifling room 'somewhere in Afghanistan or elsewhere'. As the sounds of battle go on outside, and her two small children cry, a nameless woman sits beside the bed of her comatose husband, telling her prayer beads, and adjusting his drip. Becoming increasingly outspoken as the novel progresses, and as her husband lies there, oblivious, the woman recalls childhood misdemeanours; their own unhappy marriage - finding that she can openly talk to him for the first time in their ten years together..... I have to say I didn't really get into this one. A quick and somewhat forgettable read; I wasn't convinced that an Afghan wife kept (largely) away from the world would become so outspoken on sex once the chance arose. I found her less believable because of that. Brutal Disappointing read. I expected so much out of this book, with such a plot, but it is entirely wasted. It was over before I could connect with the woman. It failed to make any impact on me. Reading this felt utterly pointless.
Although Rahimi creates a specific person, he never attempts to create much empathy. The woman pays a terrible price for self-revelation and the reader gains no more insight than might be gleaned from a garbled nightmare inspired by a late night-news item about the atrocities in Afghanistan. It explores fundamental questions: love, sex, marriage, war and the repression entailed by a demanding religion. Rahimi gives his heroine a voice to speak the woes and indignities suffered by tens of thousands of women in the Muslim world, who have been marginalised, maltreated, and condemned to silence and endurance.

In Persian folklore, Syngue Sabour is the name of a magical black stone, a patience stone, which absorbs the plight of those who confide in it. It is believed that the day it explodes, after having received too much hardship and pain, will be the day of the Apocalypse. But here, the Syngue Sabour is not a stone but rather a man lying brain-dead with a bullet lodged in his neck. His wife is with him, sitting by his side. But she resents him for having sacrificed her to the war, for never being able to resist the call to arms, for wanting to be a hero, and in the end, after all was said and done, for being incapacitated in a small skirmish.
