pokkari
With an introduction by Roy Foster A classic work of Irish literature, this award-winning novel is an exploration of love, art and identity. This was the night train to Barcelona, some hours before the dawn. This was 1950, late September. I had left my husband. I had left my home. Katherine Proctor has dared to leave her family in Ireland and reach out for a new life. Determined to become an artist, she flees to Spain, where she meets Miguel, a passionate man who has fought for his own freedoms. They retreat to the quiet intensity of the mountains and begin to build a life together. But as Miguel's past catches up with him, Katherine too is forced to re-examine her relationships: with her lover, her painting and the homeland she only thought she knew. . . The South is the book that introduced readers to the astonishing gifts of Colm Tóibín, winning the Irish Times First Fiction Award in 1991. Arrestingly visual and enduringly atmospheric, it is a classic novel of art, sacrifice, and courage.

The Testament of Mary

The Testament of Mary

Colm Toibin

Simon Schuster Audio
2013
cd
2014 Audie Award Finalist for Audiobook of the Year, Literary Fiction, and Solo Narration--Female Shortlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize, Colm T ib n's provocative, haunting, and indelible portrait of Mary presents her as a solitary older woman still seeking to understand the events that become the narrative of the New Testament and the foundation of Christianity. In the ancient town of Ephesus, Mary lives alone, years after her son's crucifixion. She has no interest in collaborating with the authors of the Gospel, who are her keepers. She does not agree that her son is the Son of God; nor that his death was "worth it"; nor that the "group of misfits he gathered around him, men who could not look a woman in the eye," were holy disciples. Mary judges herself ruthlessly (she did not stay at the foot of the cross until her son died--she fled, to save herself), and her judgment of others is equally harsh. This woman whom we know from centuries of paintings and scripture as the docile, loving, silent, long-suffering, obedient, worshipful mother of Christ becomes a tragic heroine with the relentless eloquence of Electra or Medea or Antigone. T ib n's tour de force of imagination and language is a portrait so vivid and convincing that our image of Mary will be forever transformed.

New Ways to Kill Your Mother: Writers and Their Families

New Ways to Kill Your Mother: Writers and Their Families

Colm Toibin

Scribner Book Company
2013
nidottu
Novelist and critic Colm T ib n provides "a fascinating exploration of writers and their families" (Entertainment Weekly) and "an excellent guide through the dark terrain of unconscious desires" (The Evening Standard) in this brilliant collection of essays that explore the relationships of writers to their families and their work. Colm T ib n--celebrated both for his award-winning fiction and his provocative book reviews and essays--traces the intriguing, often twisted family ties of writers in the books they leave behind. Through the relationship between W. B. Yeats and his father, Thomas Mann and his children, Jane Austen and her aunts, and Tennessee Williams and his sister, T ib n examines a world of relations, richly comic or savage in their implications. Acutely perceptive and imbued with rare tenderness and wit, New Ways to Kill Your Mother is a fascinating look at writers' most influential bonds and a secret key to understanding and enjoying their work.

Halvin toimitettuna 21,50 €

A highly acclaimed novel from the author of Brooklyn and an "immensely gifted and accomplished writer" (The Washington Post), about an Irishwoman who creates a new life in post-war Spain. In 1950, Katherine Proctor leaves Ireland for Barcelona, determined to escape her family and become a painter. There she meets Miguel, an anarchist veteran of the Spanish Civil War, and begins to build a life with him. But Katherine cannot escape her past, as Michael Graves, a fellow Irish migr in Spain, forces her to reexamine all her relationships: to her lover, her art, and the homeland she only thought she knew. The South is a novel of classic themes--of art and exile, and of the seemingly irreconcilable yearnings for love and freedom--to which Colm T ib n brings a new, passionate sensitivity.

Halvin toimitettuna 20,50 €

Colm T ib n's "lovely, understated" novel that "proceeds with stately grace" (The Washington Post Book World) about an uncompromising judge whose principles, when brought home to his own family, are tragic. Eamon Redmond is a judge in Ireland's high court, a completely legal creature who is just beginning to discover how painfully unconnected he is from other human beings. With effortless fluency, Colm T ib n reconstructs the history of Eamon's relationships--with his father, his first "girl," his wife, and the children who barely know him--and he writes about Eamon's affection for the Irish coast with such painterly skill that the land itself becomes a character. The result is a novel of stunning power, "seductive and absorbing" (USA Today).

Ink-Stained Hands fulfils a considerable gap in Irish visual arts publications as the first book to present the activities of printmakers in Ireland from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. The central narrative of this profusely illustrated and documented book is the foundation of Graphic Studio Dublin in 1960, an event which revolutionized the graphic arts in Ireland and made the European tradition of printmaking available to Irish artists.

All a Novelist Needs

All a Novelist Needs

Colm Tóibín

Johns Hopkins University Press

sidottu
This book collects, for the first time, Colm Toibin's critical essays on Henry James. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize for his novel about James's life, The Master, Toibin brilliantly analyzes James from a novelist's point of view. Known for his acuity and originality, Toibin is himself a master of fiction and critical works, which makes this collection of his writings on Henry James essential reading for literary critics. But he also writes for general readers. Until now, these writings have been scattered in introductions, essays in the Dublin Times, reviews in the New York Review of Books, and other disparate venues. With humor and verve, Toibin approaches Henry James's life and work in many and various ways. He reveals a novelist haunted by George Eliot and shows how thoroughly James was a New Yorker. He demonstrates how a new edition of Henry James's letters along with a biography of James's sister-in-law alter and enlarge our understanding of the master. His "Afterword" is a fictional meditation on the written and the unwritten. Toibin's remarkable insights provide scholars, students, and general readers a fresh encounter with James's well-known texts.

Fünf Menschen versammeln sich um das Bett eines Sterbenden, und in langen Gesprächen kommen geheimgehaltene Dinge zur Sprache. ? Ein ganz und gar nicht hoffnungsloses Familiendrama.? Rheinischer Merkur Eine junge Frau aus Dublin hat gerade ihren Mann mitsamt den beiden kleinen Söhnen in die Ferien verabschiedet und versucht sich an das Alleinsein zu gewöhnen. Da erfährt sie, daß ihr jüngerer Bruder Declan sehr krank ist und sie sehen möchte. Helen hat nicht gewußt, daß ihr Bruder Aids hat, aber nun, da feststeht, daß er sterben wird, setzt sie alles daran, daß er heimkommt in das Haus der Großmutter hoch über dem Meer. Die alte Frau ist zunächst nicht erfreut, zumal sich auch noch zwei Freunde Declans einquartieren, und Helens Mutter hätte ihren Sohn lieber bei sich. Eine Notgemeinschaft entsteht zwischen diesen Menschen aus drei Generationen. Ob es um unterdrückte Sexualität oder verdrängte Wut geht - das Aussprechen von verborgenen Dingen hat eine heilende Wirkung. Um der Liebe zu einem Menschen willen werden verhärtete Fronten aufgebrochen, behutsame Schritte zu einer Annäherung vollzogen, Familienbande auf einmal neu definiert.

But Argentina is changing, and as his country edges toward peace, Richard tentatively begins a love affair.
