Aaron Umber fällt es schwer, Nähe zuzulassen. Ein traumatisches Erlebnis in seiner Kindheit steht noch immer zwischen ihm und den Dingen, die er sich am sehnlichsten wünscht: Vertrauen, Liebe, Zärtlichkeit. Auf einer gemeinsamen Flugreise, zehntausend Meter über der Erde, erkennt er, dass sein Hang zur Einsamkeit auf seinen Sohn Emmett abzufärben droht. Schließlich fasst er sich ein Herz und spricht über das, was ihm widerfahren ist. Denn in der Enge des Flugzeugs gibt es kein Entkommen vor den Geistern seiner Vergangenheit. Mit viel Gefühl nähert sich John Boyne in »Luft« der Beziehung zwischen einem Vater und seinem Sohn, und erzählt eine berührende Geschichte vom Nachhall einer schmerzhaften Erfahrung, die sich über Generationen weiterträgt. Und von der Hoffnung auf Heilung. »Einer der besten seiner Generation« Observer »Luft« ist Teil 4 von John Boynes großem Erzählprojekt »Die Elemente«.

From internationally bestselling author John Boyne, a contemplative story about one man trying to move forward from the trauma of his youth to become a better father to his son. Being in limbo, 30,000 feet in the air, offers time to reflect and take stock. For Aaron Umber, it's an opportunity to connect with his 14-year-old son as they travel halfway across the world to meet a woman who isn't expecting them. Unsettled by his past, and anxious for his future, Aaron is at a crossroads in life. The damage inflicted upon him during his youth has made him the man he is, but now threatens to widen the growing fissures between him and his only child. This trip could bind them closer together, or tear them further apart. In this penetrating examination of action and consequence, fault and attribution, acceptance and resolution, John Boyne gives us a redemptive story of a father and a son on a moving journey to mend their troubled lives.

Freya appears to lead a luxurious life as a successful surgeon, enjoying wealth and privilege. However, her seemingly perfect existence is rooted in a troubled past filled with darkness. The contrast between her current status and her previous struggles hints at deeper themes of resilience and the complexities of identity, suggesting that her journey is shaped by both triumphs and hidden challenges.

From million-copy-bestselling author John Boyne, an inescapably gritty story about one young man whose direction in life takes a vastly different turn than what he expected. It's the tabloid sensation of the year: two well-known footballers standing in the dock, charged with sexual assault, a series of vile text messages pointing towards their guilt. As the trial unfolds, Evan Keogh reflects on the events that have led him to this moment. Since leaving his island home, his life has been a lie on many levels. He's a talented footballer who wanted to be an artist. A gay man in a sport that rejects diversity. A defendant whose knowledge of what took place on that fateful night threatens more than just his freedom or career. The jury will deliver a verdict but, before they do, Evan must judge for himself whether the man he has become is the man he wanted to be. ___________ Praise for John Boyne 'A master storyteller' Daily Express 'One of the best novelists of Ireland' Sunday Express 'Boyne offers writing of insight and beauty' Observer 'One of the greatest craftsmen in contemporary literature' Colum McCann

The first thing Vanessa Carvin does when she arrives on the island is change her name. To the locals, she is Willow Hale, a solitary outsider escaping Dublin to live a hermetic existence in a small cottage, not a notorious woman on the run from her past. But scandals follow like hunting dogs. And she has some questions of her own to answer. If her ex-husband is really the monster everyone says he is, then how complicit was she in his crimes? Escaping her old life might seem like a good idea but the choices she has made throughout her marriage have consequences. Here, on the island, Vanessa must reflect on what she did - and did not do. Only then can she discover whether she is worthy of finding peace at all.

DŁUGO WYCZEKIWANA KONTYNUACJA CHŁOPCA W PASIASTEJ PIŻAMIE! Kiedy dziecko potwora jest winne zbrodni ojca? Wina i współudział mają niejedno oblicze. John Boyne jest mistrzem powieści historycznej. To wspaniała książka, na której emocjonalny wpływ z pewnością nie jesteś przygotowany. John Irving Gretel Fernsby od wielu dekad mieszka w okazałym apartamencie w reprezentacyjnej dzielnicy Londynu. Pomimo przerażającej przeszłości wiedzie spokojne i wygodne życie. Nie opowiada o ucieczce z nazistowskich Niemiec. Nie opowiada o ponurych latach spędzonych z matką w powojennej Francji. Nie opowiada też o ojcu, komendancie jednego z najbardziej znanych niemieckich obozów zagłady. A przede wszystkim nie wypowiada imienia swojego brata. Pewnego dnia do mieszkania na parterze wprowadza się młode małżeństwo z dzieckiem. Pomimo wspomnień, które przywołuje kilkuletni Henry, pomiędzy nim a Gretel nawiązuje się nić przyjaźni. Wkrótce potem dochodzi do awantury pomiędzy piękną matką Henry'ego a jego despotycznym ojcem. Gretel staje na podobnym rozdrożu, na jakim znalazła się dawno temu. Wtedy nie zrobiła nic, teraz, decydując się na uratowanie małego chłopca, ma szansę zmierzyć się z poczuciem winy, żalu i z wyrzutami sumienia. By to zrobić, konieczne może okazać się ujawnienie tajemnic, które skrywała przez całe życie

What a thing of wonder a mobile phone is. Six ounces of metal, glass and plastic, fashioned into a sleek, shiny, precious object. At once, a gateway to other worlds - and a treacherous weapon in the hands of the unwary, the unwitting, the inept. The Cleverley family live a gilded life, little realising how precarious their privilege is, just one tweet away from disaster. George, the patriarch, is a stalwart of television interviewing, a 'national treasure' (his words), his wife Beverley, a celebrated novelist (although not as celebrated as she would like), and their children, Nelson, Elizabeth, Achilles, various degrees of catastrophe waiting to happen. Together they will go on a journey of discovery through the Hogarthian jungle of the modern living where past presumptions count for nothing and carefully curated reputations can be destroyed in an instant. Along the way they will learn how volatile, how outraged, how unforgiving the world can be when you step from the proscribed path. Powered by John Boyne's characteristic humour and razor-sharp observation, The Echo Chamber is a satiric helter skelter, a dizzying downward spiral of action and consequence, poised somewhere between farce, absurdity and oblivion. To err is maybe to be human but to really foul things up you only need a phone.

Bored and lonely after his family moves from Berlin to a place called Out-With in 1942, Bruno, the son of a Nazi officer, befriends a boy in striped pajamas who lives behind a wire fence.

Ambitious, far- reaching and mythic, it introduces a group of characters whose lives we will come to know and will follow through time and space until they reach their natural conclusion.

They may even mak him do worse.

And he never will be. But if he isn't a real Avery, then who is he? Born out of wedlock to a teenage girl cast out from her rural Irish community and adopted by a well-to-do if eccentric Dublin couple via the intervention of a hunchbacked Redemptorist nun, Cyril is adrift in the world, anchored only tenuously by his heartfelt friendship with the infinitely more glamourous and dangerous Julian Woodbead. At the mercy of fortune and coincidence, he will spend a lifetime coming to know himself and where he came from - and over his many years, will struggle to discover an identity, a home, a country, and much more.

Odran Yates enters Clonliffe Seminary in 1972 after his mother informs him that he has a vocation to the priesthood. He goes in full of ambition and hope, dedicated to his studies and keen to make friends. Forty years later, Odran's devotion has been challenged by the revelations that have shattered the Irish people's faith in the church. He has seen friends stand trial, colleagues jailed, the lives of young parishioners destroyed and has become nervous of venturing out in public for fear of disapproving stares and insulting remarks. But when a family tragedy opens wounds from his past, he is forced to confront the demons that have raged within a once respected institution and recognise his own complicity in their propagation. It has taken John Boyne fifteen years and twelve novels to write about his home country of Ireland but he has done so now in his most powerful novel to date, a novel about blind dogma and moral courage, and about the dark places where the two can meet. At once courageous and intensely personal, A History of Loneliness confirms Boyne as one of the most searching chroniclers of his generation.
