Obcy przyniósł Albertowi Camusowi popularność. Stał się bestselerem, czego Camus chyba nie do końca rozumiał, nie chciał być autorem wyłącznie Obcego. Chciał nie chciał, w roku 1940 dał światu zwierciadło, w którym może przejrzeć się człowiek. To jedna z książek (nie tylko francuskich czy dwudziestowiecznych, ale książek w ogóle), które są w ciągłym obiegu czytelniczym, to znaczy są nieustannie czytane, przemyśliwane, interpretowane. Wciąż aktualne, niepokojące. Domagające się kolejnych edycji, kolejnych przekładów. Bohater zagadka, Meursault, który imię zawdzięcza czy to znanemu burgundowi, czy skażonemu burgundzkim u mariażowi słońca i morza, z których się zrodził, z którymi się stapia, które przynoszą mu szczęście i zadają cierpienie. I powieść o byciu obcym, o człowieku uciskanym przez społeczeństwo, rzecz o miłości, o zgubnym wpływie słońca. I wielu innych sprawach. Najwyższy czas na książkową premierę nowego polskiego przekładu, po raz pierwszy prezentowanego na łamach Literatury na Świecie, który wyszedł spod pióra Marka Bieńczyka.
In 1941, Irène Némirovsky began writing a book to capture the profound impact of her experiences during a tumultuous time, focusing on the domestic lives and personal struggles of ordinary French citizens rather than battles or politics. She did not live to see her vision realized, nor the eventual publication of her work sixty-five years later, which was celebrated as a masterpiece. Set from June 1940, when France fell to the Nazis, to the moment Germany turned its attention to Russia, the narrative unfolds in two parts. The first vividly portrays Parisians fleeing the Nazi invasion amidst chaos, while the second explores the lives of a small rural community under occupation, revealing unexpected connections among its inhabitants. Némirovsky's talent shines through her rich characterizations, featuring a diverse cast from haughty aristocrats and bourgeois bankers to uncouth workers and defiant farmers. Women navigate their relationships with German soldiers, showcasing resilience and vulnerability. Amidst defeat, hypocrisy, and compromise, glimmers of hope, nobility, and love emerge in surprising places. Though only two sections were completed before her tragic death, they create a beautifully cohesive work that profoundly understands humanity.
When the novel opens, he is at work in his magnificent Parisian apartment while his wife and beloved daughter, Joyce`, spend his money at their villa in Biarritz.
This first volume of collected teachings features insights from Lama Yeshe during the 1970s and 1980s, when he and Lama Zopa Rinpoche traveled globally to share their wisdom. Lama Yeshe emphasized the importance of recognizing and developing our limitless potential, making his teachings as relevant today as they were then. Part 1 focuses on transforming our lives through warm-heartedness and “knowledge-wisdom,” while encouraging a relaxed approach to practice. Edited by Nicholas Ribush, this section includes previously unpublished material. Part 2, edited by Uldis Balodis, presents three discourses from Lama Yeshe at the 1983 Kopan meditation course in Nepal, where he provided essential guidance on practicing Dharma in the West. Excerpts from these teachings have appeared in the ebook series, The Enlightened Experience: Volumes 1–3, as well as in the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive and Mandala magazine. We express gratitude to Ven. Tenzin Drachom and the students who supported the production of this book.
