Scott Spencer

    1. september 1945

    Scott Spencer sa vo svojom diele ponára do zložitosti ľudských vzťahov a vášní, ktoré ich poháňajú. Jeho próza je známa intenzívnou psychologickou hĺbkou a poetickým jazykom, ktorým vykresľuje postavy na pokraji emocionálneho zmätku. Spencer majstrovsky skúma témy lásky, posadnutosti a hľadania identity v modernom svete. Jeho romány ponúkajú prenikavý pohľad na temnejšie stránky ľudskej duše a na krehkosť ľudských spojení.

      Mladučká Jade, dievča z vyššej spoločnosti, sa bezhlavo zamiluje do charizmatického Davida. Mladík s poškvrnenou minulosťou sa stáva tŕňom v oku Jadinho otca. Vonkoncom sa mu nepáči, s kým sa jeho dcéra zahadzuje. Keď otec zistí, že ich vzťah pokročil oveľa ďalej ako len k nevinným bozkom,zakáže Davidovi sa k ich domu čo i len priblížiť. Vášnivú lásku dvoch zaľúbencov zachvátených sexuálnou túžbou však nič nezastaví. Ich city sú nekontrolovateľné, hrozí, že ich celkom prevalcujú. Keby sa Davidovi podarilo docieliť, aby ho Jadin otec vnímal ako hrdinu a záchrancu, určite by zmenil názor. A tak nešťastne zaľúbený chlapec založí v honosnom rodinnom sídle „bezpečný“ požiar...

      A wildly entertaining and occasionally heartbreaking story of frustrated longing, and the lengths we will go for those we love--even if they don't love us in return An Ocean Without a Shore, from the bestselling, critically acclaimed author of Endless Love and Man in the Woods, is a beautifully rendered exploration of that most timeless of human dilemmas: the one in which your love is left unreturned. Since their college days, Kip Woods has been infatuated with Thaddeus Kaufman, who, years later, is a married father of two children and desperately trying to revive a failing career. Kip's devotion to Thaddeus has been life-defining and destiny-altering, but it has been one that Thaddeus has either failed to notice or refused to acknowledge. But over the course of this heated and mesmerizing novel, set against a background of privilege and affluence in Manhattan and the Hudson Valley, Kip will be forced to reckon with the prison of his own making and decide how much he is willing to sacrifice for a love that may never be shared. Picking up where his most recent novel, River Under the Road, left off, but writing squarely in the vein of Endless Love, his classic novel of passion and obsession, Scott Spencer gives us an intimate, immersive, and unsettling portrait of the devastation we will wreak in the name of love, and the bitterness of a friendship ravaged by fathomless yearning.

    • Was die Liebe in uns auslöst - und was sie in uns zerstört Manchmal ist die Liebe stärker als eine Naturgewalt. Manchmal verschlingt sie alles um sich herum. Manchmal setzt das blinde Verlangen jede Ordnung außer Kraft. Daniel Emersons Leben mit seiner Freundin und deren Tochter verläuft in geregelten Bahnen. Bis ein heftiger Schneesturm über die kleine Stadt am Hudson River hinwegfegt. Und während die schneeüberladenen Bäume unter ihrem eigenen Gewicht zusammenbrechen und die Stadt im Chaos versinkt, verbringt Daniel eine leidenschaftliche Nacht mit der schwarzen Studentin Iris. Eine Nacht, die alles verändert. Auf einmal sind alle Grundlagen seines Lebens in Gefahr: Seine Beziehung, seine Arbeit, sein eigener moralischer Anspruch. Aber endlich ist Liebe das, was sie sein sollte: Die Bereitschaft, notfalls dafür zu sterben. Doch was darf Leidenschaft? Und was wiegt schwerer: Die Ordnung der Dinge oder die Liebe, die diese Ordnung außer Kraft setzt?
