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 magical realist tale inspired by The Tempest.

'[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].

André Aciman's third novel, set in 1977, tells the story of a young Jewish Harvard graduate student yearning for assimilation into American culture.

A Boston Globe Best Nonfiction Book of 2011 Celebrated as one of the most poignant stylists of his generation, André Aciman has written a luminous series of linked essays about time, place, identity, and art that show him at his very finest. From beautiful and moving pieces about the memory evoked by the scent of lavender; to meditations on cities like Barcelona, Rome, Paris, and New York; to his sheer ability to unearth life secrets from an ordinary street corner, Alibis reminds the reader that Aciman is a master of the personal essay.

**AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW** From the multi-million copy bestselling author of Call Me By Your Name 'Aciman writes with an aching sensitivity.' JOHN BOYNE 'You don't so much read André Aciman's novels as tumble breathlessly into them.' THE TIMES Have you ever had the sense that maybe all lives are nothing more than the chronicle of countless stinging might-have-beens that continue to haunt us? In the scorching New York heat, a hundred people wait to be selected as jurors. Paul is reading a newspaper. Catherine is reading a novel. So begins a whirlwind flirtation: over cappuccinos in Manhattan and gallery trips to Chelsea, Paul and Catherine escape into the illusion of an Italian getaway. Their feelings quickly evolve into something deeper, something - as mature adults with lives of their own - Paul and Catherine must carry on in secret, with the understanding that anything more than a casual crush is out of the question. But as the sultry summer week draws to a close, the end of their rendezvous comes into focus, and Paul and Catherine are forced to decide whether to act on their feelings or leave the fantasy of what could have been to the annals of the past.

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.

Aciman erzählt in sechs Kapiteln die Geschichte einer jüdischen Familie, die Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts von Konstantinopel nach Alexandria zieht und dort sechs Jahrzehnte lebt. Nach der Machtübernahme der Nationalisten zerstreut sich die Familie, während Aciman uns durch das kulturell vielfältige Alexandria führt.

En Lejos de Egipto, André Aciman rememora su infancia en la espléndida y multicultural Alejandría y las peripecias de su excéntrica familia, judíos sefarditas con raíces turcas e italianas, desde su llegada a la ciudad a principios de siglo hasta su expulsión en la década de los sesenta, cuando el autor era adolescente. Un clan compuesto por figuras tan carismáticas como inclasificables: el tío Vili, exsoldado fanfarrón, fascista italiano y espía británico; las dos abuelas, «la santa» y «la princesa», capaces de chismorrear en seis idiomas, incluido el ladino; la madre, Gigi, una mujer sorda de armas tomar; o la tía Flora, refugiada alemana que no cesa de recordar que los judíos perderán cuanto poseen «al menos dos veces en la vida». Cómicas y exquisitas, con delicados ecos proustianos, estas hermosas memorias, construidas a la manera de las grandes sagas familiares, consiguen envolver al lector con una historia y unos protagonistas inolvidables. Lejos de Egipto, el libro más querido de su autor y seguramente el más emblemático, es una vívida y melancólica evocación de la infancia como paraíso perdido, y de los perfumes y melodías de un luminoso mundo que el lector tampoco querrá abandonar.

Leo Gazzarra sa túla uličkami Ríma ako vystrihnutými z Felliniho. Nádejný mladík, takmer vždy bez práce a ambícii, sa v alkoholovom opare necháva unášať večným mestom, medzi barmi a príbytkami bohatších priateľov, bez ktorých by asi umrel od hladu. Keď v deň svojich tridsiatych narodenín stretne zvodnú Ariannu, svet sa mu obráti hore nohami. Celú noc jazdia ospalým Rímom, popíjajú, raňajkujú a zase popíjajú. Netrvá to však dlho a osudová kráska sa mu začne pred očami strácať v záhyboch milovaného mesta, ktoré s každým ránom páli spomienky na včerajší večer. Posledné leto v meste medzi prvými objavila talianska spisovateľka Natalia Ginzburg. Román spisovateľa a scenáristu Gianfranca Calligaricha prvýkrát vyšiel už v roku 1973, ale až po takmer päťdesiatich rokoch sa z neho stala literárna senzácia, ktorú čitatelia a čitateľky na celom svete zaraďujú medzi klasiky ako Veľký Gatsby alebo Kto chytá v žite. Doslov k aktuálnemu vydaniu knihy napísal André Aciman

"У цьому чарівному дослідженні різновидів любові, автор всесвітнього бестселера продовжує переповідати життєві історії складних та привабливих персонажів "Називай мене своїм ім'ям", що сталися через десятки років після їхньої першої зустрічі. Історія у "Знайди мене" оповідується від імені батька Еліо, Семюеля, який подорожує з Флоренції до Риму, щоб навідати сина, обдарованого класичного піаніста. Випадкова зустріч у поїзді з красивою молодою жінкою рушить всі плани Семюеля і назавжди змінює його життя. Незабаром Еліо переїжджає до Парижа, де також заводить романтичні стосунки, тоді як Олівер, нині вже сімейний професор коледжу в Новій Англії, раптом замислюється про подорож назад через Атлантику. "Знайди мене" повертає нас до чарівного світу одного з найвизначніших романів сучасності, щоб ще раз поставити запитання, чи помирає насправді справжнє кохання." --
