André Aciman Knihy

Môže vás niekoľkotýždňový vzťah poznačiť na celý život? Čo ak v sedemnástich rokoch prežijete tú najintenzívnejšiu skúsenosť, ktorá sa už nikdy nezopakuje? Daj mi tvoje meno je strhujúcim príbehom lásky, ktorá vzplanie medzi 17-ročným Eliom a 24-ročným Oliverom, hosťom Elieho rodičov, počas jedného leta na slnečnej talianskej riviére. Obaja najskôr predstierajú ľahostajnosť, ale postupne ich čoraz viac pohlcuje vzájomná príťažlivosť – prerastajúca do posadnutosti aj strachu, fascinácie i túžby. Úprimná, nesentimentálna pocta ľudskej vášni od oceňovaného autora Andrého Acimana sa stala predlohou pre rovnomennú filmovú adaptáciu nominovanú na Zlatý Glóbus a Oscara vo viacerých kategóriách vrátane ocenenia za najlepší film roku 2017.

Je možné, že nevieme, čo chceme. Možno navždy zostaneme záhadou pre seba a pre iných. Skôr či neskôr však zistíme, kým sme celý čas skutočne boli. Variácie záhad sú súpisom veľkých lások jedného muža od mladíckeho vzplanutia k mladíkovi v talianskom rybárskom mestečku cez posadnutosť mužom, ktorého stretne na tenisovom kurte, až po nenaplnenú vášeň k jednej Newyorčanke. A hoci ho intenzívne túžby, straty a sklamania k ničomu jednoznačnému neprivedú, pochopí, že zlomené srdce je niečo, čo sa dá prežiť, tak ako láska či zvýšená teplota alebo túžba načiahnuť sa ponad stôl a chytiť niekoho za ruku. André Aciman je autorom bestsellera New York Times Daj mi tvoje meno, podľa ktorého nakrútili aj úspešný film, ako aj jeho pokračovania Nájdi si ma.

André Anciman je majstrom jemnocitu, intímnych detailov a citových nuáns, čo sú podstatou vášne. Autor svetoznámeho bestsellera Daj mi tvoje meno sa v tejto knihe k svojim zložitým a podmanivým postavám vracia niekoľko desaťročí po tom, čo sa zoznámili. V románe Nájdi si ma Aciman predstavuje Eliovho otca Samuela, ktorý cestuje z Florencie do Ríma, aby navštívil syna, nadaného klaviristu. Náhodné stretnutie s krásnou mladou ženou vo vlaku mu však navždy zmení život. Elio sa onedlho presťahuje do Paríža, prežije tam ľúbostný vzťah, a Oliver, teraz vysokoškolský profesor, ktorý žije s rodinou v Novom Anglicku, zrazu uvažuje o ceste späť za Atlantik.

A dazzling, sunbaked Italian summer story from the global bestselling author of Call Me By Your Name.

'[A] mesmerizing portrait of a now vanished world. Aciman's story of Alexandria is the story of his own family, a Jewish family with Italian and Turkish roots that tied its future to Egypt and made its home there for three generations, only to find itself peremptorily expelled by the Government in the early 1960's. It is the story of a fractious clan of dreamers and con men and the emotional price they would pay for exile, the story of a young boy's coming of age and his memories of the city he loved in his youth. Writing in lucid, lyrical prose, Mr. Aciman does an exquisite job of conjuring up the daily rhythms and rituals of his family's life: their weekly trips to the movies, their daily jaunts to the beach, their internecine squabbles over everything from religion to money to the pronunciation of words. There are some wonderfully vivid scenes here, as strange and marvelous as something in Garcia Marquez, as comical and surprising as something in Chekhov.' Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

From the highly acclaimed author of Out of Egypt and Call Me by Your Name , a series of linked essays on memory by "the poet of disappointed love--and of the city" ( New York Times Book Review ).In these fourteen essays Andre Aciman, one of the most poignant stylists of his generation, dissects the experience of loss, moving from his forced departure from Alexandria as a teenager, though his brief stay in Europe and finally to the home he's made (and half invented) on Manhattan's Upper West Side.From False Papers : We remember not because we have something we wish to go back to, nor because memories are all we have. We remember because memory is our most intimate, most familiar gesture. Most people are convinced I love Alexandria. In truth, I love remembering Alexandria. For it is not Alexandria that is beautiful. Remembering is beautiful.

The bestselling author of Find Me and Call Me by Your Name returns to the essay form with this collection of thoughts on time, the creative mind, and great lives and works. The irrealis mood knows no boundaries between what is and what isn't, between what happened and what won't.

Rome, 1964. As 13 year old André stands at the foot of the gangway to the ship, his mother fusses over their luggage - 32 suitcases, trunks and tea chests that contain their world. The ship will refuel and return to Alexandria, the home where they have left their father, as the Aciman family begin a new adventure. André is now head of the family, with a little brother to keep in line and a mother to translate for - for although she's mute, she is nothing if not communicative. Equal parts transporting and beautiful, this coming of age memoir shares the luminous, fragile truth of life for a family forever in exile, living in Rome, but still yet to find a home.[Bokinfo].

A LUSHLY ROMANTIC NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF CALL ME BY YOUR NAMEEight White Nights is an unforgettable journey through that enchanted terrain where passion and fear and the sheer craving to ask for love and to show love can forever alter who we are. A man in his late twenties goes to a large Christmas party in Manhattan where a woman introduces herself with three words: "I am Clara." Over the following seven days, they meet every evening at the same cinema. Overwhelmed yet cautious, he treads softly and won’t hazard a move. The tension between them builds gradually, marked by ambivalence, hope, and distrust. As André Aciman explores their emotions with uncompromising accuracy and sensuous prose, they move both closer together and farther apart, culminating on New Year's Eve in a final scene charged with magic and the promise of renewal. Call Me by Your Name, Aciman's debut novel, established him as one of the finest writers of our time, an expert at the most sultry depictions of longing and desire. As The Washington Post Book World wrote, "The beauty of Aciman’s writing and the purity of his passions should place this extraordinary first novel within the canon of great romantic love stories for everyone." Aciman’s piercing and romantic new novel is a brilliant performance from a master prose stylist.
