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 expulsion en la decada de los sesenta, cuando el autor era adolescente. Un clan compuesto por figuras tan carismaticas como inclasificables: el tio Vili, exsoldado fanfarron, fascista italiano y espia britanico; 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 tia Flora, refugiada alemana que no cesa de recordar que los judios perderan cuanto poseen al menos dos veces en la vida.Comicas 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 mas querido de su autor y seguramente el mas emblematico, es una vivida y melancolica evocacion de la infancia como paraiso perdido, y de los perfumes y melodias de un luminoso mundo que el lector tampoco querra abandonar.

Érase una vez un hombre que quería convencer a su hijo de las ventajas de estudiar en la Universidad de Harvard. Y le contó una especie de fábula; la historia de su paso por el campus; en realidad, lo que le sucedio un caluroso verano, alla en los años setenta, mientras se preparaba para los examenes finales del curso de doctorado. Cierto dia se le ocurrio entrar en un cafetin de ambiente afrofrances y alli se topo con un personaje realmente singular, un tunecino extravagante, vestido como el Che Guevara, que estaba esperando que le concedieran el permiso de residencia, trabajaba de taxista, despotricaba contra todo y se acostaba con todas las mujeres que se le ponian a tiro.Harvard Square cuenta la historia de una amistad entrañable, desgarradora, divertida y conmovedora entre dos hombres contrapuestos: un judio y un arabe, un erudito y un picaro, un timido y un tipo mas listo que el hambre, un hombre con porvenir y un hombre sin nada mas que mi taxi, mi nabo y mi dignidad. Los dos tienen el mismo pasado, se identifican y se oponen, y su relacion obliga al protagonista a replantearse continuamente quien es quien y sobre todo quien y que es el. Pero es tambien una historia al modo de Proust sobre el paso implacable del tiempo, sobre la recuperacion de la identidad y sobre la nostalgia de un pasado que nos ha ...

Magnificent.New York TimesUnforgettable.Times Literary SupplementExquisite.New YorkerFrom the Sunday Times bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name and Find Me, now available to preorder in paperback.From a youthful infatuation with a cabinet maker in a small Italian fishing village, to a passionate yet sporadic affair with a woman in New York, to an obsession with a man he meets at a tennis court, Enigma Variations charts one mans path through the great loves of his life. Pauls intense desires, losses and longings draw him closer, not to a defined orientation, but to an understanding that heartache, like love, like low-grade fevers, like the longing to reach out and touch a hand across the table, is easy enough to live down.Andre Aciman casts a shimmering light over each facet of desire, to probe how we ache, want and waver, and ultimately how we sometimes falter and let go of the very ones we want the most. We may not know what we want. We may remain enigmas to ourselves and to others. But sooner or later we discover who weve always known we were.

Das Buch zum OSCAR-pramierten FilmVollig uberraschend trifft Elio seine erste groe Liebe: Der Harvard-Absolvent Oliver ist fur sechs Wochen bei Elios Familie an der italienischen Riviera zu Gast. Oliver ist weltgewandt, intelligent und schon. Er ist alles, was Elio will, vom ersten Moment an. Die Zuneigung ist gegenseitig, doch Schuchternheit und Unsicherheit veranlassen beide zur Zuruckhaltung. Ein fast unertragliches Spiel von Verfuhrung und Zuruckweisung beginnt."Ein wunderschones und kluges Buch ein Wunder." Colm Toibin

A powerfully original novel of modern love by the author of Call Me By Your Name.An unforgettable journey through the experience of time and desire, 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 in the snowy city. Overwhelmed yet cautious, he treads softly and wont hazard a move. The tension between them builds, marked by ambivalence, hope, and distrust. Moving both closer together, then further apart, this amorous dance builds towards a New Years Eve charged with magic, the promise of renewal and love.

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 isnt, between what happened and what wont. In more ways than one, the essay about the artists, writers, and great minds gathered in this volume have nothing to do with who I am, or who they were, and my reading of them may be entirely erroneous. But I misread them the better to read myself. From meditations on subway poetry and the temporal resonances of an empty Italian street, to considerations of the lives and work of Sigmund Freud, Constantine Cavafy, W. G. Sebald, John Sloan, Eric Rohmer, Marcel Proust, and Fernando Pessoa, and portraits of cities such as Alexandria and St. Petersburg, Homo Irrealis is a deep reflection of the imaginations power to shape our memories under times seemingly intractable hold.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name and Find Me, a memoir of an extraordinary life.[A] mesmerizing portrait of a now vanished world. Acimans 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 1960s. 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 boys 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 familys 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 TimesAcimans latest novel, Find Me, is now available for preorder in paperback.

Rediscover one of the twentieth centurys greatest romances: this seductive tale of four tangled lovers in wartime Egypt, introduced by André Aciman (Call Me By Your Name and Find Me), is wonderful (Elif Shafak) I remembered Justine saying harshly as she lay in bed: We use each other like axes to cut down the ones we really love.Alexandria: the great winepress of love. Trams, palm trees, and watermelon stalls lie honey-bathed in sunlight; in darkened bedrooms, sweaty lovers unfurl. But in a world trembling on the brink of war, passion and death are inextricable. When a penniless schoolteacher begins an affair with Justine - a married Egyptian lady of unparalleled glamour - their partners are sucked into a whirlpool of jealousy and violence. One of the worlds greatest romances, rich in political and sexual intrigue, Lawrence Durrells scandalous investigation of modern love set the world alight in 1957 and - as Andre Aciman reveals - it burns just as brightly today.What Readers Are Saying:Sometimes you discover a new author and know youre going to be friends for life ...

The backdrop of 1930s Egypts literary circles and bohemian relationships is mesmerising ... Breathtaking.Shimmering and dreamlike ... One of the most beautifully written books Ive read ...

Durrell captured a place and time that will never exist again.What makes this novel truly spectacular is the language, the episodic jumps in time, the lush lyricism, and how Durrell so deftly manages to tie this all into both the city of Alexandria and the themes of passion, love, and jealousy.

Elio Perlman se souvient de l’été de ses 17 ans, à la fin des années quatre-vingt. Comme tous les ans, ses parents accueillent dans leur maison sur la côte italienne un jeune universitaire censé assi

È l'estate del 1977 e Cambridge è quasi deserta. Gli studenti di Harvard vanno in vacanza o a fare esperienze di lavoro all'estero, e sono pochi quelli che rimangono nella citta oppressa dal gran caldo di luglio. Tra questi c'è un dottorando che si sta preparando per gli esami. È un ebreo di origini egiziane, un outsider nel mondo accademico di una delle universita più antiche e prestigiose degli Stati Uniti. Nella suggestiva Harvard Square, punto di riferimento della vita studentesca, c'è un locale dal sapore mediterraneo, il Café Algiers, completamente estraneo all'ambiente pretenzioso che lo circonda. È qui che lo studente fa l'incontro che potrebbe cambiare il corso di tutta la sua vita. Qui conosce Kalashnikov, un tassista tunisino, così soprannominato per la sua parlantina caustica e chiassosa, che non risparmia nessuno: uomini, donne, bianchi, neri, capitalisti, liberali, conservatori... I due, uniti da una lingua comune, il francese, dal profondo senso di sradicamento e dalla nostalgia per le atmosfere dei loro paesi d'origine, diventano inseparabili. Rinviata ogni decisione sul futuro, riempiono le afose giornate di chiacchiere, cibo, vino, caffé, gite al lago e belle donne. Fino a quando non ricomincia il semestre invernale ed entrambi vengono risucchiati dalle loro "vite di sempre", inconciliabilmente diverse.
