Julie Orringer Książki

Wyczekiwana powieść bestsellerowej autorki! Julie Orringer zabiera nas do okupowanej Europy w porywającej opowieści opartej na prawdziwej historii. W roku 1940 amerykański dziennikarz Varian Fry udał się do Marsylii, przewożąc ze sobą trzy tysiące dolarów i listę narażonych na niebezpieczeństwo artystów, których miał nadzieję ocalić w ciągu kilku tygodni. Zamiast tego został we Francji przez trzynaście miesięcy, pracując pod przykrywką organizacji humanitarnej, aby zdobywać fałszywe dokumenty, gromadzić fundusze ratunkowe i założyć podziemną linię kolejową, transportującą uchodźców. Wśród jego licznych klientów byli: Hannah Arendt, Franz Werfel, André Breton, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp i Marc Chagall. Znakomicie napisana powieść, od której nie można się oderwać. To pierwszorzędna historyczna fikcja i kolejne potwierdzenie pisarskiego talentu Orringer.

Paris, 1937. Andras Levi, an architecture student, has arrived from Budapest with a scholarship, a single suitcase, and a mysterious letter he has promised to deliver to Clara Morgenstern, a young widow living in the city. When Andras meets Clara he is drawn deeply into her extraordinary and secret life, just as Europe’s unfolding tragedy sends them both into a state of terrifying uncertainty.From a remote Hungarian village to the grand opera houses of Budapest and Paris, from the despair of a Carpathian winter to an unimaginable life in forced labor camps and beyond, The Invisible Bridge tells the story of a marriage tested by disaster and of a family threatened with annihilation, bound by love and history.

Dives into the private world of childhood and immerses us in its fears and longings. The joyous friendships and the bitter sibling battles, the parents that row and the boys that won't dance with you.

He smuggles them over the Pyrenees mountains and across the sea hidden in boats, but every day hundreds of ordinary Jewish refugees beg him for help. Does Varian have the right to choose who to save?At home in New York, making a list seemed hard, but in the middle of humanity's darkest hour, Varian must do all he can to help. And as the Nazis begin to get word of Varian's secret operation, he must dig deep and find the courage to rescue as many innocents as he can.Even though his own life may be in terrible danger.An incredibly compelling and heart-wrenching historical novel, inspired by a powerful true story, about the extraordinary courage and friendships forged during humanity's darkest hour. If you loved Schindler's List, All the Light We Cannot See or The Tattooist of Auschwitz, you'll adore Transatlantic, previously published as The Flight Portfolio.

With the help of guest editor Adam Thirlwell (author of Kapow!, Visual Editions), Issue 42 is a monumental experiment in translated literature—twelve stories taken through six translators apiece, weaving into English and then back out again, gaining new twists and textures each time, just as you'd expect a Kierkegaard story brought into English by Clancy Martin and then sent into Dutch by Cees Nooteboom before being made into English again by J. M. Coetzee to do. With original texts by Kafka and Kharms and Kenji Miyazawa, and translations by Lydia Davis and David Mitchell and Zadie Smith (along with others by John Banville and Tom McCarthy and Javier Marías, and even more by Shteyngart and Eugenides and A. S. Byatt), this will be an issue unlike anything you've seen before—altered, echoing narratives in the hands of the finest writers of our time, brought to you in a book that looks like nothing else we’ve ever done.
