Fremde und Brüder

Snows Romanwerk, dessen Handlung sich vom Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs bis in die Zeit der Studentenunruhen von 1968 erstreckt, zeichnet - in der Rückschau des pensionierten Hochschullehrers Lewis Eliot und dabei autobiografisch getönt - den Lebensweg eines britischen Akademikers aus der Mittelschicht durch die sogenannten "corridors of power" nach: von Eliots Jugend in eher bescheidenen Verhältnissen in einer englischen Provinzstadt über seine Karriere als Anwalt in London, als Beamter, als Dozent in Cambridge. Dabei bieten die Romane eine tiefgründige Untersuchung der britischen Arbeitswelt des 20. Jahrhunderts und deren Institutionen sowie des komplexen Zusammenspiels zwischen dem Privatleben und dem Streben nach Ansehen in Beruf und Öffentlichkeit - entlang all der vielen Fallstricke moralischer Entscheidungen und vor dem Hintergrund sozialer Spannungsgeflechte und weltpolitischer Veränderungen. Dabei erzählt Snow clever und nicht selten amüsant. Seine liebevoll ausgearbeiteten Charaktere binden die einzelnen Romane, die auch separat gut lesbar sind, in geradezu Proust'scher Manier aneinander.
Im dritten Teil der Romanreihe, der im Original 1958 erschien, gibt der Erzähler Einblicke in die Welt einer großen britischen Bankiersdynastie zwischen 1927 und 1936. Durch seine Freundschaft zu Charles March, dem Sohn und Erben des jüdischen Bankhauses March, mit dessen Familie verbunden, stehen Lewis Eliot die Auswirkungen der sozialen und politischen Veränderungen auf die reiche und traditionsbewusste Familie direkt vor Augen. Vor dem Hintergrund des Aufstiegs von Kommunismus und Faschismus sowie der Vorbereitung Großbritanniens auf einen neuen Krieg stehen allerhand private Krisen: Charles bricht seine vielversprechende juristische Karriere zugunsten der ihm nützlicher erscheinenden Medizin ab, seine Schwester Catherine verliebt sich in einen Nichtjuden, sein Onkel wird in zwielichtige politische Geschäfte verwickelt, und die Familie fällt langsam auseinander ...

Fremde und Brüder / Das Gewissen der Reichen

NATIONAL BESTSELLER A New York Times Book Review MOST ANTICIPATED Book "Between the Taylor Swift effect, BTS fever, and the rise (and rise) of Heated Rivalry, fandoms are having a moment-making it the PERFECT TIME to dig into Zhang's alternately HEARTRENDING AND THRILLING new novel." -Vogue "Equally DARK AND DAZZLING, like a spotlight flickering on a dim stage. This is a book I'll be recommending to all my coolest friends." -LitHub From National Book Foundation 5 UNDER 35 HONOREE Jenny Tinghui Zhang, a novel about a pop idol and his superfan, whose stories shockingly collide Freshman Minnie is adrift at college in Austin, Texas, when she discovers a boy band called HOURglass and the online forums that worship them. She especially loves Halo, whose sharp edges feel somehow familiar. After a brief romance goes painfully awry, Minnie pours everything into her new fandom, clinging to each livestream and bonding with other fans online. But when a scandal threatens to expose Halo to harm, Minnie decides that she is the only one who can save him. Except Halo's secret is darker than anything the tabloids could imagine. Before he was a superstar heartthrob, he was Eason: a high school dropout haunted by a tragic accident. When he is recruited for HOURglass, it feels like a chance to become someone else. And when he is onstage in front of his fans, he can almost forget the horrors of his past--until one of those very fans threatens to destroy everything. Dazzling, entrancing, and deeply heartfelt, Superfan is about fandom in all its magic and its terror, and the extreme lengths to which we go to rid ourselves of loneliness.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER ¿ A July Indie Next Pick ¿ "A strikingly original and deeply moving debut." -People ¿ "Begins with such a gasp-inducing twist that it's almost impossible to describe." -Real Simple ¿ "The literary book of the summer." -Sarah Gelman, CBS Mornings SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FATE. I KNEW IT WASN'T.... Honor seems to have everything: she adores her bright and beautiful daughter, Chloe, and her charming, handsome husband, Tom, even if he works one hundred hours a week. Yet Honor's longing for another baby threatens to eclipse all of it-until a shocking event changes their lives forever. Years later, Tom makes a decision that ripples through their families' lives in ways he could never have foreseen. As the consequences of that fateful choice unfold, two women's paths become irrevocably intertwined. But when old love clashes with new, who will be left standing? And what happens when your secrets come back to haunt you? Blending a page-turning moral dilemma with satisfying emotional poignancy, Finding Grace is a sweeping love story that explores the price of a new beginning, how the ghosts of our past shape our future, and whether redemption can be found in the wreckage of what we've lost.

Finding Grace

The 30th anniversary edition of the virtuosic, wickedly comic modern classic about the pursuit of happiness in America, with a new foreword by Michelle Zauner, author of the New York Times bestselling sensation Crying in H Mart.&nbsp; “To my mind, there have been two great American novels in the past fifty years. Catch-22 is one; this is the other.” —Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly Set in an addicts’ halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, Infinite Jest explores essential questions about what entertainment is and why it has come to so dominate our lives; about how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are. Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human—and one of those rare books that renews the idea of what a novel can do. “Uproarious ... Infinite Jest shows off Wallace as one of the big talents of his generation, a writer … who can seemingly do anything.” ―Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “The next step in fiction ... Edgy, accurate, and darkly witty ... Think Beckett, think Pynchon, think Gaddis. Think.” —Sven Birkerts, The Atlantic One of Time magazine’s “100 Best Novels” (1923—2005)

White Nights and Other Stories

They have nothing but time...to hate each other. In Julian, California, every day is April 23rd—and in a time loop, there are no rules. Eating endless slices of fresh apple pie? Yes. Partner swapping? Why not. Being trapped inside the plot of a sci-fi film would almost be inspiring for LA screenwriter Carly Hart…if she wasn’t waking up at her dad’s funeral every single day. Carly wants out. Funeral director Adam Rhodes is equally frustrated. Every loop, Adam regenerates in the middle of a fight with his ex-wife. Her infidelity wrecked their perfect life together, and now Adam must relive her confession over and over again. There’s only one solution to ending the misery: breaking the time loop. Easier said than done. And there’s another hurdle to overcome: Carly and Adam can’t stand each other. Though strangers at best, Carly and Adam know they must work together to solve this cosmic mystery. But where Carly offers magical theories, Adam relies on facts and figures. When Carly wants to involve the local conspiracy theorist, Adam would rather work alone. The sooner they find a solution, the sooner they’ll never have to see each other again, yet somehow the tension between the two is hotter than a solar flare and as rare as the daily total solar eclipse. Maybe Carly and Adam are destined to be in each other’s orbit after all… FOR FANS OF: <ul> <li>Enemies to lovers</li> <li>A literal roll in the hay</li> <li>A magical&nbsp;time loop</li> <li>Small town vibes</li> <li>Open-door spice</li> <li>Dual POV</li></ul>
