Komend seizoen zal Ian McEwan volop in de schijnwerpers staan, niet vanwege het verschijnen van een nieuwe roman, maar vanwege de verfilming van maar liefst drie (3!) van zijn meesterwerken. Aan Chesil Beach met Saoirse Ronan, De kinderwet met Emma Thompson en Het kind in de tijd met Benedict Cumberbatch. Iedereen herinnert zich natuurlijk de meeslepende verfilming van Boetekleed met Keira Knightley in de hoofdrol. Nu in handzame nieuwe uitgav...

It is July 1962. Edward and Florence, young innocents married that morning, arrive at a hotel on the Dorset coast. At dinner in their rooms they struggle to suppress their private fears of the wedding night to come and, unbeknownst to them both, the events of the evening will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

Eine klassische Konstellation: der Vater, die Mutter und der Liebhaber. Und das Kind, vor dessen Augen sich das Drama entfaltet. Aber so, wie Ian McEwan sie erzählt, hat man diese elementare Geschichte noch nie gehört. Verblüffend, verstörend, fesselnd, philosophisch - eine literarische Tour de Force von einem der größten Erzähler englischer Sprache.

Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She's with his brother, the profoundly banal Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the nine-month-old resident of Trudy's womb. Nutshell is a classic tale of murder and deceit from one of the worlds master storytellers.

È lecito distruggere un uomo politico, sia pure spregevole e privo di scrupoli, attaccandolo sui segreti più intimi della vita privata? E un grande artista, per difendere la propria ispirazione, è autorizzato a ignorare una persona che sta rischiando la vita? Amsterdam è il palcoscenico ideale di una buffa e terribile resa dei conti, "una tragicommedia in cui nessun personaggio è amabile" che, con piacevol...

Traducere din limba engleza, note si postfata de Virgil Stanciu In 1998, romanul Amsterdam a fost incununat cu Booker Prize, cel mai important premiu literar britanic. Amsterdam poate fi citit ca o parabola despre zadarni­cia eforturilor omenesti, despre prietenie, justitie morala, creativitate, despre moarte. Structura narativa prea simetrica este estompata de ironia subtextuala si de stilul cind acid, cind elegiac al relatarii. „Ian ...

Traducere din limba engleza si note de Dana Craciun In sapte povesti legate intre ele, Peter Fortune isi aminteste diferite intimplari din timpul copilariei sale ciudate. Traind la granita dintre vis si realitate, el trece prin aventuri fantastice, traieste in trupul batrinei sale pisici si al unui copil rautacios, se lupta cu o papusa rea care s-a trezit la viata si cauta razbunare, gaseste intr-un sertar plin cu fleacuri o crema care face ...

Gradina de ciment (1978), romanul de debut al lui Ian McEwan, a stirnit la aparitie un imens scandal, uimind totodata prin stapinirea desavirsita a mijloacelor epice. Cartea este povestea – tragica si fascinanta – a lui Jack, baiatul aflat la virsta ingrata a pubertatii. La inceput, el pare un puber obisnuit: este obsedat de sora sa mai mare, frumoasa Julie, isi infrunta tacit tatal si – cum altfel ? – se masturbeaza. Calmul nu dureaza ...

Peter è un bambino fantasioso, distratto e sognatore, che per sfuggire alla noia di una famiglia affettuosa e un po' soffocante immagina avvenimenti straordinari, storie magiche e paradossali: dà vita alle bambole della sorella, cambia la propria pelle con quella del gatto-di casa in modo da assumerne per qualche tempo l'identità, si sostituisce al cugino piccolo e torna alla prima infanzia... Cosa succederà? La risposta è ancora una volta di ...
