ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONColm T ib n's new novel opens in a provincial German city at the turn of the twentieth century, where the boy, Thomas Mann, grows up with a conservative father, bound by propriety, and a Brazilian mother, alluring and unpredictable. Young Mann hides his artistic aspirations from his father and his homosexual desires from everyone. He is infatuated with one of the richest, most cultured Jewish families in Munich, and marries the daughter Katia. They have six children. On a holiday in Italy, he longs for a boy he sees on a beach and writes the story Death in Venice. He is the most successful novelist of his time, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, a public man whose private life remains secret. He is expected to lead the condemnation of Hitler, whom he underestimates. His oldest daughter and son, leaders of Bohemianism and of the anti-Nazi movement, share lovers. He flees Germany for Switzerland, France and, ultimately, America, living first in Princeton and then in Los Angeles. The Magician is an intimate, astonishingly complex portrait of Mann, his magnificent and complex wife Katia, and the times in which they lived--the first world war, the rise of Hitler, World War II, the Cold War, and exile.

Året är 1895 och Henry James nya pjäs gör dunderfiasko i London samtidigt som Oscar Wildes senaste går för fulla hus på teatern bredvid. James bestämmer sig omedelbart för att fly staden och slicka såren. I sin självvalda exil börjar han att minnas tillbaka på sitt liv: systerns tragiska död som länge plågade honom, hur han höll sig undan det amerikanska inbördeskriget, de hemska minnena av sårade och döda soldater, uppväxten i New England och brodern som i familjen alltid hölls före honom intellektuellt och socialt.Men ett stort glädjeämne för honom var den mycket märkliga och hemliga vänskapen med författaren Constance Fenimore Woolson, hur de brevväxlade, hyrde våningarna intill varandra i Venedig och bokade in sig på samma pensionat i England. Så nås han plötsligt av ett telegram som berättar att Constance helt oväntat har tagit sitt liv genom att slänga sig ut från sitt lägenhetsfönster i Venedig.Henry James kom att under sitt liv kallas för "Mästaren". Skälet var hans skarpa blick för mänskliga relationer, vilket även kännetecknar hans böcker. Colm Tóibín fångar i sin roman - som redan kort efter sin första publicering utropades till klassiker - en man som privat plågades av sin ensamhet samtidigt som han i sin sociala verksamhet kunde njuta av litterära framgångar och gärna frotterade sig med alla dåtidens stora författare.Med ett nyskrivet förord av Klas Östergren."Mästaren är underbart rik, ett verkligt kraftprov i den ofta misslyckade genren ´roman om känd, verklig person´ ... Den ger en enastående ingång till ett av de stora författarskapen i modern tid. Den är i sig själv ett litet mästerverk." SvD

"Den bästa roman jag läst på länge" Norrbottens-Kuriren"Naket och ömsint porträtt" Skånska DagbladetThomas Mann växer upp i en by på den tyska landsbygden. Fadern är konservativ och auktoritär, modern undflyende och oberäknelig. Den lille pojken lär sig tidigt att aldrig låta någon få veta vad han verkligen känner: i hemlighet ägnar han sig åt konst och litteratur, i hemlighet åtrår han pojkar mer än flickor.När han möter Katia förändras allt. Hon har vuxit upp i en rik judisk familj där konsten står i centrum. Thomas och Katia gifter sig, skaffar sex barn, och med tiden blir Thomas Mann en uppburen författare som belönas med Nobelpriset i litteratur. Ändå förblir han alltid en person som alla känner till men som ingen någonsin får lära känna. Så går världen i kras. Hitler griper makten, snart står hela världen i brand och familjen måste lämna allt bakom sig.Colm Tóibín har skrivit en levande roman om en av litteraturvärldens största gåtor. Thomas Mann står bakom flera av förra århundradets mest hyllade romaner samtidigt som hans personliga kamp präglade dagböckerna och hans familjeroll. Varför denna förljugenhet till ett sådant högt pris? Var det skenhelighet eller något som gagnade hans litterära inblick? Eller kanske rädsla? Bakom masken är vi alla till sist bara människor.

Den efterlängtade fortsättningen på Brooklyn – Colm Tóibíns stora romansuccé som blev Oscarsbelönad film.Eilis Lacey lämnade som ung Irland för USA. Året är nu 1976 och det har nu gått tjugo år sedan hon gifte sig med rörmokaren Tony Fiorello, vars stora, bullriga och intensiva italiensk-amerikanska familj ständigt finns närvarande i deras liv i Lindenhurst, Long Island. På många sätt lever de ett perfekt liv, präglat av en europeiskt förflutet. Ibland drabbas de av en längtan tillbaka till det gamla landet, men oftast känner de sig som en del av de amerikanska drömmen. Det är i det nya landet de har byggt upp sin familj och sin framtid, deras barn är i tonåren, allt är precis så som det ska vara.Men en dag förändras allt. Eilis sitter hemma och går igenom bokföringen när det knackar på dörren. En man hälsar vänligt och låter sedan meddela att hans fru är gravid med Tonys barn och när barnet föds kommer han omedelbart att lämna det på Eilis tröskel för henne att ta hand om.Long Island är en omvälvande roman om löften, kärlek och ouppfylld längtan, skriven av en av vår tids mest uppburna berättare.”Det är en mästerlig roman full av längtan och samvetskval. Det är en berättelse om hur älskande kan finna vägen tillbaka till sin kärlek, om hur älskande kan tvingas till kompromisser, och om den trygghet som kan infinna sig sent i livet. Romanen är otroligt drabbande och samtidigt återhållsam. Det kändes vemodigt att lägga den ifrån sig.” Douglas Stuart

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.

Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know: The Fathers of Wilde, Yeats and Joyce

Scribner Book Company

From the multiple award-winning author of The Master and Brooklyn, an illuminating look at Irish culture, history, and literature through the lives of the fathers of three of Ireland's greatest writers--Oscar Wilde's father, William Butler Yeats's father, and James Joyce's father--"Thrilling, wise, and resonant, this book aptly unites T ib n's novelistic gifts for psychology and emotional nuance with his talents as a reader and critic, in incomparably elegant prose" (The New York Times Book Review). Colm T ib n begins his incisive, revelatory Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know with a walk through the Dublin streets where he went to university and where three Irish literary giants came of age. Oscar Wilde, writing about his relationship with his father stated: "Whenever there is hatred between two people there is bond or brotherhood of some kind...you loathed each other not because you were so different but because you were so alike." W.B. Yeats wrote of his father, a painter: "It is this infirmity of will which has prevented him from finishing his pictures. The qualities I think necessary to success in art or life seemed to him egotism." James's father was perhaps the most quintessentially Irish, widely loved, garrulous, a singer, and drinker with a volatile temper, who drove his son from Ireland. "An entertaining and revelatory book about the vexed relationships between these three pairs of difficult fathers and their difficult sons" (The Wall Street Journal), Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know illustrates the surprising ways these fathers surface in the work of their sons. "As charming as they are] illuminating, these stories of fathers and sons provide a singular look at an extraordi-nary confluence of genius" (Bookpage). T ib n recounts the resistance to English cultural domination, the birth of modern Irish cultural identity, and the extraordinary contributions of these complex and masterful authors. "This immersive book holds literary scholarship to be a heartfelt, heavenly pursuit" (The Washington Post).

* A Washington Post Notable Fiction Book of the Year * Named a Best Book of 2017 by NPR, The Guardian, The Boston Globe, St. Louis Dispatch From the thrilling imagination of bestselling, award-winning Colm T ib n comes a retelling of the story of Clytemnestra--spectacularly audacious, violent, vengeful, lustful, and instantly compelling--and her children. "I have been acquainted with the smell of death." So begins Clytemnestra's tale of her own life in ancient Mycenae, the legendary Greek city from which her husband King Agamemnon left when he set sail with his army for Troy. Clytemnestra rules Mycenae now, along with her new lover Aegisthus, and together they plot the bloody murder of Agamemnon on the day of his return after nine years at war. Judged, despised, cursed by gods she has long since lost faith in, Clytemnestra reveals the tragic saga that led to these bloody actions: how her husband deceived her eldest daughter Iphigeneia with a promise of marriage to Achilles, only to sacrifice her because that is what he was told would make the winds blow in his favor and take him to Troy; how she seduced and collaborated with the prisoner Aegisthus, who shared her bed in the dark and could kill; how Agamemnon came back with a lover himself; and how Clytemnestra finally achieved her vengeance for his stunning betrayal--his quest for victory, greater than his love for his child. In House of Names, Colm T ib n brings a modern sensibility and language to an ancient classic, and gives this extraordinary character new life, so that we not only believe Clytemnestra's thirst for revenge, but applaud it. He brilliantly inhabits the mind of one of Greek myth's most powerful villains to reveal the love, lust, and pain she feels. Told in fours parts, this is a fiercely dramatic portrait of a murderess, who will herself be murdered by her own son, Orestes. It is Orestes' story, too: his capture by the forces of his mother's lover Aegisthus, his escape and his exile. And it is the story of the vengeful Electra, who watches over her mother and Aegisthus with cold anger and slow calculation, until, on the return of her brother, she has the fates of both of them in her hands.

With an introduction by award-winning novelist Tessa Hadley In January 1895 Henry James anticipates the opening of his first play, Guy Domville, in London. The production fails, and he returns, chastened and humiliated, to his writing desk. The result is a string of masterpieces, but they are produced at a high personal cost. In The Master Colm Tóibín captures the exquisite anguish of a man who circulated in the grand parlours and palazzos of Europe, who was astonishingly vibrant and alive in his art, and yet whose attempts at intimacy inevitably failed him and those he tried to love. It is a powerful account of the hazards of putting the life of the mind before affairs of the heart.

Eilis Lacey is Irish, married to Tony Fiorello, a plumber and one of four Italian American brothers, all of whom live in neighboring houses on a cul-de-sac in Lindenhurst, Long Island, with their wives and children and Tony's parents, a huge extended family that lives and works, eats and plays together. It is the spring of 1976 and Eilis, now in her forties with two teenage children, has no one to rely on in this still-new country. Though her ties to Ireland remain stronger than those that hold her to her new land and home, she has not returned in decades. One day, when Tony is at his job and Eilis is in her home office doing her accounting, an Irishman comes to the door asking for her by name. He tells her that his wife is pregnant with Tony's child and that when the baby is born, he will not raise it but instead deposit it on Eilis's doorstep. It is what Eilis does--and what she refuses to do--in response to this stunning news that makes T ib n's novel so riveting. Long Island is about longings unfulfilled, even unrecognized. The silences in Eilis's life are thunderous and dangerous, and there's no one more deft than T ib n at giving them language. This is a gorgeous story of a woman alone in a marriage and the deepest bonds she rekindles on her return to the place and people she left behind, to ways of living and loving she thought she'd lost.

An unforgettable story about loss and new love from the bestselling author of Brooklyn and Long Island. ‘The most striking example of Tóibín’s emotional control . . . [An] eloquent expression of the bond between a mother and a son’ – The Guardian One snowy morning, after arguing with her husband, Miquel’s mother walks out from their home high up in the Pyrenees and does not return. With his younger brother stationed far away on military service and his father cast out by the people of the town, Miquel and his father are left to fend for themselves. Together they will be forced to battle the elements, and their resentment of each other, through the long winter. Miquel’s desperate searching for his mother is only interrupted when Manolo, an orphaned servant boy from the next village, arrives to help out in the house. As Miquel is forced to confront the reality of his mother’s absence, Manolo, with his silences and longing gaze, offers the promise of new love, and another kind of life. ‘A Long Winter evokes loss, loneliness, guilt and survival in a few masterly strokes’ – Independent

Depicting characters like the eponymous young sculptor in Roderick Hudson and spaces like the crowded galleries in The Wings of the Dove, Henry James’s iconic novels reflect the significance of the visual culture of his society. In this book, novelist and critic Colm Tóibín joins art historian Marc Simpson and Declan Kiely of The Morgan Library & Museum to reveal how essential the language and imagery of the arts—and friendships with artists—were to James’s writing.The authors consider the paintings, photographs, drawings, and sculpture produced by artists in James’s circle, assess how his pictorial aesthetic developed, and discuss why he destroyed so many personal documents and what became of those that survived. In examining works by figures such as John La Farge, Hendrik Andersen, and John Singer Sargent alongside selections from James’s novels, personal letters, and travel writings, Tóibín, Simpson, and Kiely explore the novelist’s artistic and social milieu. They show him to be a writer with a painterly eye for colors and textures, shapes and tastes, and for the blending of physical and psychological impressions. In many cases, the characters populating James’s fiction are ciphers for his artist friends, whose demeanors and experiences inspired James to immortalize them on the page. He also wrote critically about art, most notably about the work of his friend Sargent.A refreshing new perspective on a master novelist who was greatly nourished by his friendships with artists, Henry James and American Painting reveals a James whose literary imagination, in Tóibín’s words, “seemed most at ease with the image” and the work of creating fully realized portraits of his characters.

"One of our most beloved contemporary poets", is how former Ireland Professor of Poetry Paula Meehan describes Philip Casey (1950-2018). Cherished by many for his tenderness, fortitude, hope and tenacity, Philip was an award-winning novelist, admired poet and vital presence on the Irish literary scene for four decades. Philip battled repeated health challenges, stood up for causes he believed in, and relished making mischief. He was, in the words of the poet Theo Dorgan, "some man for one man". Philip believed in the idea of a community of writers, and his open-mindedness drew others towards him - whether to his Dublin home, or to his grassroots support base in his earlier home of Hollyfort, Co Wexford. His booming laugh and powerful handshake were legendary.
