Описание: Delivered in Stockholm on 7 December 2017, My Twentieth Century Evening and Other Small Breakthroughs is the lecture of the Nobel Laureate in Literature, Kazuo Ishiguro.
In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Roger Martin du Gard was one of the most famous writers in the Western world. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1937, and his works, especially Les Thibault, a multivolume novel, were translated into English and read widely. Today, this close friend of Andr? Gide, Albert Camus, and Andr? Malraux is almost unknown, largely because he left unfinished the long project he began in the 1940s, Lieutenant Colonel de Maumort. Initially, the novel is an account of the French experience during World War II and the German occupation as seen through the eyes of a retired army officer. Yet, through Maumort's series of recollections, it becomes a morality tale that questions the values of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century European civilization. A fragmentary version of the novel was published in 1983, twenty-five years after its author's death, and an English translation appeared in 1999. Even incomplete, it is a work of haunting brilliance. In this groundbreaking study, Benjamin Franklin Martin recovers the life and times of Roger Martin du Gard and those closest to him. He describes the genius of Martin du Gard's literature and the causes of his decline by analyzing thousands of pages from journals and correspondence. To the outside world, the writer and his family were staid representatives of the French bourgeoisie. Behind this veil of secrecy, however, they were passionate and combative, tearing each other apart through words and deeds in clashes over life, love, and faith. Martin interweaves their accounts with the expert narration that distinguishes all of his books, creating a blend of intellectual history, family drama, and biography that will appeal to scholars, students, and general readers alike.

Описание: Ever spend 14 hours straight on the New York City subway? Justin Nobel has a simple philosophy: the best way to know a city is to stand in one spot and observe it, for a VERY long time. In "Standing Still in a Concrete Jungle", Justin "stands" in some of New York's most famous spots-Central Park, the subway, a Park Slope coffee shop-but also grittier places no tourist would ever go-a street corner in a rough part of the Bronx, a forgotten cemetery, an ER waiting room. Justin peels away the surface of the city to find a chattering nether-metropolis, where nothing is normal. He meets deranged mailman, his child doppelganger, a rare insect vendor and under a full moon on a beach in Brooklyn has a shamanistic experience with an evil genie. If you've ever been fascinated by the public spaces where so much of our daily nothing, that might actually mean everything, goes on this book will surely make you howl. And who knows, perhaps you're in it.
