«Si Proust no hubiera existido, Aciman lo habr a inventado. Richard Bernstein, The New York Times Cu nto de nosotros se borra con el paso del tiempo? Cu nto se queda en los lugares amados? Puede uno regresar a un sitio que nunca existi m s all de su mente? En Homo irrealis, Andr Aciman nos invita a acompa arlo al territorio de sus recuerdos en un viaje por lugares queridos como Alejandr a, Roma, Par s, 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 m s, el autor explora el tiempo irrealis: el del hombre que podr a haber sido y no fue, todo lo que podr a haber pasado y no pas , pero que a n podr a pasar y est en un limbo entre la fantas a y la realidad. Unas memorias en forma de ensayos en las que el autor de Lejos de Egipto y de Ll mame por tu nombre se enfrenta al pasado y al presente, al anhelo y al deseo, en un intento de comprender la veta nost lgica que se cierne sobre su persona y sobre casi toda su obra. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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, Andr 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, ric 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.

Never before available in hardback, this is a lavish edition of one of the greatest love stories of our time. The perfect gift for anyone captivated by Elio and Oliver.A sudden and powerful romance blossoms between Elio, an adolescent boy, and Oliver, his parents' guest, over the course of one summer. Each is unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, when, during the hot restless weeks, unrelenting currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion and test the charged ground between them. Recklessly, the two verge toward the one thing both fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

**MY ROMAN YEAR - THE NEW MEMOIR FROM THE ANDRE ACIMAN - AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW**A collection of thoughts on time, the creative mind, and great lives and works.'One feels that if Proust had not existed, Mr. Aciman would have invented him.' NEW YORK TIMES'André Aciman is, quite simply, one of the finest essayists of the last hundred years.' LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS The irrealis mood knows no boundaries between what is and what isn't, between what happened and what won't. 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, Éric Rohmer, Marcel Proust, and Fernando Pessoa, and portraits of cities such as Alexandria and St. Petersburg, Homo Irrealis is a deep reflection of the imagination's power to shape our memories under time's seemingly intractable hold.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A New York Times Bestseller In this spellbinding exploration of the varieties of love, the author of the worldwide bestseller Call Me by Your Name revisits its complex and beguiling characters decades after their first meeting.No novel in recent memory has spoken more movingly to contemporary readers about the nature of love than Andr Aciman's haunting Call Me by Your Name. First published in 2007, it was hailed as "a love letter, an invocation . . . an exceptionally beautiful book" (Stacey D'Erasmo, The New York Times Book Review). Nearly three quarters of a million copies have been sold, and the book became a much-loved, Academy Award-winning film starring Timoth e Chalamet as the young Elio and Armie Hammer as Oliver, the graduate student with whom he falls in love.In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio's father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train with a beautiful young woman upends Sami's plans and changes his life forever. Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic. Aciman is a master of sensibility, of the intimate details and the emotional nuances that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the magic circle of one of our greatest contemporary romances to ask if, in fact, true love ever dies.

Da Samuel tar toget fra Firenze til Roma for å besøke sønnen Elio, kommer han i prat med en ung, distré kvinne. Møtet skal forandre livet hans for alltid.I Roma treffer Elio en eldre mann på en klassisk konsert. Han blir dypt betatt, kanskje fordi mannen vekker minner om en tidligere kjærlighet.Oliver er godt etablert i USA, med forskerstilling og en god familie. Likevel lengter han innerst inne etter en flamme fra fortiden.I denne romanen utforsker Andre Aciman kjærlighet, begjær og den dype kontakten som kan finnes mellom mennesker, ved første møte eller etter et langt liv. På mesterlig vis skildrer han hvordan lidenskapen – til musikken, litteraturen og livet selv – styrer oss når vi lar den slippe til. Og under det hele ligger spørsmålet om ekte kjærlighet noensinne dør.Finn meg er den frittstående oppfølgeren til Og ditt navn er mitt (Call me by your name), boken som fikk umiddelbar kultstatus da den ble filmatisert i 2017. «En sanselig fryd …» Observer“En skamløst romantisk og filosofisk roman. Finn meg er dypest sett en studie av kjærlighet: ikke bare den kjærligheten vi våger å gå inn i, men den kjærligheten som finnes i de parallelle livene vi mangler mot til å utforske.» The Guardian “Du trenger ikke ha lest Og ditt navn er mitt (Call me by your name), Acimans roman fra 2007 som ble Oscar-nominert film, for å bli forelsket i denne sexy, melankolske oppfølgeren … en vakker ode til tidens gang, ekte kjærlighet og ensomhetens verking.» Buzzfeed“Elegant … Aciman evner å blande det sanselige og det intellektuelle i historier som berører hjertet.» Publishers Weekly«Rørende uten å bli sentimental … en elegant, minneverdig fortelling om varig kjærlighet på tvers av generasjonene.» Kirkus Reviews
