Bøger af André Aciman

Now a major motion picture! During a restless summer on the Italian Riviera, a powerful romance blooms between seventeen-year-old Elio and his father's house guest, Oliver. Unrelenting currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire threaten to overwhelm the lovers who at first feign indifference to the charge between them. What grows from the depths of their souls is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration, and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing they both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

I opfølgeren til Call Me by Your Name møder vi atter nogle af de personer, vi kender så godt, nu 25 år senere. Elios far, Samuel, er fraskilt og på vej til Rom for at besøge Elio, der nu er en anerkendt klassisk pianist. I toget falder han i snak med den unge Miranda, et tilfældigt møde der bliver fuldkommen livsomvæltende. Elio flytter til Paris, hvor han indleder en intens affære, der ligeledes får afgørende konsekvenser, mens Oliver, der nu underviser på et universitet i New England og har sønner, der snart er voksne, fanger sig selv i at overveje et besøg i Europa. Find mig er en bevægende udforskning af kærligheden i alle dens omskiftelige former og udtryk, der på smukkeste vis minder os om at ægte kærlighed aldrig dør ud.

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 man's path through the great loves of his life. Paul's 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 we've always known we were.

"ÅCuâanto de nosotros se borra con el paso del tiempo? ÅCuâanto se queda en los lugares amados? ÅPuede uno regresar a un sitio que nunca existiâo mâas allâa de su mente? En Homo irrealis, Andrâe Aciman nos invita a acompaänarlo al territorio de sus recuerdos en un viaje por lugares queridos como Alejandrâia, Roma, Parâis, San Petersburgo o Nueva York, habitados por las presencias fantasmales de artistas y escritores admirados. De la mano de Proust, Freud, Cavafis, Pessoa, Rohmer, Sebald y muchos mâas, el autor explora el tiempo irrealis: el del hombre que podrâia haber sido y no fue, todo lo que podrâia haber pasado y no pasâo, pero que aâun podrâia pasar y estâa en un limbo entre la fantasâia y la realidad. Unas memorias en forma de ensayos en las que el autor de Lejos de Egipto y de Llâamame por tu nombre se enfrenta al pasado y al presente, al anhelo y al deseo, en un intento de comprender la veta nostâalgica que se cierne sobre su persona y sobre casi toda su obra."--Amazon.com.

The New York Times-bestselling author of Find Me and Call Me by Your Name returns to the essay form with his collection of thoughts on time, the creative mind, and great lives and works.Irrealis moods are a category of verbal moods that indicate that certain events have not happened, may never happen, or should or must or are indeed desired to happen, but for which there is no indication that they will ever happen. Irrealis moods are also known as counterfactual moods and include the conditional, the subjunctive, the optative, and the imperative-all best expressed in this book as the might-be and the might-have-been. One of the great prose stylists of his generation, André Aciman returns to the essay form in Homo Irrealis to explore what time means to artists who cannot grasp life in the present. Irrealis moods are not about the present or the past or the future; they are about what might have been but never was but could in theory still happen. From meditations on subway poetry and the temporal resonances of an empty Italian street to considerations of the lives and work of Sigmund Freud, C. P. Cavafy, W. G. Sebald, John Sloan, Éric Rohmer, Marcel Proust, and Fernando Pessoa and portraits of cities such as Alexandria and St. Petersburg, Homo Irrealis is a deep reflection on the imagination's power to forge a zone outside of time's intractable hold.

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.

A memoir that chronicles the exploits of a flamboyant Jewish family, from its bold arrival in cosmopolitan Alexandria to its defeated exodus three generations later.
