Nicole Krauss Książki

Seks, władza, przemoc, pasja, samotność, odkrywanie siebie, starzenie się: Nicole Krauss mistrzowsko ukazuje absurd, a czasem głęboką prawdę kryjąca się w codziennych dramatach, które pozwalają nam w pełni doświadczać życia. Opisuje rzeczywistość przepełnioną apatią, nostalgią i zmęczeniem, ujawnia nierozerwalny splot ludzkich sił i słabości. Szuka odpowiedzi na pytania o tożsamość - również tę religijną, o istotę relacji między dziećmi a rodzicami, o paradoks upragnionej, choć często gorzkiej, samotności. Rozpina literacki most między Nowym Jorkiem a Tel Awiwem i bawi się z czytelnikiem - raz leżymy na słonecznej izraelskiej plaży, by za chwilę znaleźć się w dystopijnej Ameryce. Niestworzone historie mieszają się tu z prozą życia, a kolejne opowiadania subtelnie ze sobą rezonują. Z językową elegancją i literackim wyczuciem Krauss wprowadza nas w świat rozwiedzionych kobiet, samotnych mężczyzn, oddanych przyjaciół, wielopokoleniowych rodzin, banitów z wyboru i z przeznaczenia. A nad wszystkimi bohaterami unosi się pełne lęku pytanie: czy przestanę być człowiekiem, którym byłem od zawsze?

Imagine what a dictionary might look like about thirty years hence, when all of the world's problems are solved and our current dictionaries are a distant memory. Dave Eggers, Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss have lined up an incredible array of writers to bring you that futuristic dictionary and a vision of the world as it might be. Think of it as a dictionary of language for describing what the future could look like a dictionary that is both useful and romantic, hopeful and necessary, pragmatic and idealistic, and frequently funny. This is science fiction but with a difference.

This opportunity sparks a journey filled with adventure and self-discovery, exploring themes of loneliness and the essence of human connection, all conveyed with Nicole Krauss's signature poignant humor.

JULES EPSTEIN IS UNDERGOING A TRANSFORMATION It began in the wake of his parents' death, when he divorced his wife of over thirty-five years, retired from his legal firm, and started rapidly shedding the possessions he'd spent a lifetime accumulating. With the last of his wealth and a nebulous plan, he departs New York for the Tel Aviv Hilton. Meanwhile, a novelist leaves her husband and children behind in Brooklyn and checks in to the same hotel, hoping that the view of the pool she used to swim in on childhood holidays will unlock her writer's block. But when a man claiming to be a retired professor of literature recruits her for a project involving Kafka, she is drwan in to a mystery that will change her life in ways she could never have imagined. Bursting with life and humour, this is a novel of metamorphosis and self-realisation - of looking beyond all that is visible towards the infinite.
