Nulla, solo la notte
Arthur Maxley è un giovane uomo emotivamente devastato. Dopo aver abbandonato il college, vive rintanato in un albergo di San Francisco, mantenuto dalla famiglia. Le sue giornate passano uguali una all'altra, vuote, inutili, tra alcol e solitudine. Come è giunto a questo punto? C'è qualcosa che lo tormenta, qualcosa che non riesce ad affrontare né a lasciarsi alle spalle. E ora suo padre è arrivato in città. È un uomo d'affari brillante, sempre in giro per il mondo. Non si frequentano da anni, è praticamente un estraneo, ma Arthur accetta di vederlo. Da quell'incontro uscirà ancora più disperato, per tuffarsi in una folle notte di bevute con una donna bellissima e sconosciuta. Una resa dei conti finale con i traumi del passato che i lettori non dimenticheranno presto. "Nulla, solo la notte" è il romanzo d'esordio di Williams, scritto dal giovane romanziere a poco più di vent'anni, mentre era soldato in Oriente durante la Seconda guerra mondiale. Un noir psicologico dalle tinte cupe dotato della potenza di una tragedia greca.

Stoner
Discover an American masterpiece. This unassuming story about the life of a quiet English professor has earned the admiration of readers all over the globe. William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude. John Williams’s luminous and deeply moving novel is a work of quiet perfection. William Stoner emerges from it not only as an archetypal American, but as an unlikely existential hero, standing, like a figure in a painting by Edward Hopper, in stark relief against an unforgiving world.

Butcher's Crossing
Ein überwältigender Roman über die Zerbrechlichkeit von Menschlichkeit und Würde.Es ist um 1870, als Will Andrews der Aussicht auf eine glänzende Karriere und Harvard den Rücken kehrt. Beflügelt von der Naturauffassung Ralph W. Emersons, sucht er im Westen nach einer 'ursprünglichen Beziehung zur Natur'.In Butcher's Crossing, einem kleinen entlegenen Städtchen in Kansas, wimmelt es von rastlosen Männern, die das Abenteuer suchen und schnell verdientes Geld ebenso schnell wieder vergeuden. Einer von ihnen lockt Andrews mit Geschichten von riesigen Büffelherden, die, versteckt in einem entlegenen Tal tief in den Colorado Rockies, nur eingefangen werden müssten: Andrews schließt sich einer Expedition an, mit dem Ziel, die Tiere aufzuspüren. Die Reise ist aufreibend und strapaziös, aber am Ende erreichen die Männer einen Ort von paradiesischer Schönheit. Doch statt von Ehrfurcht werden sie von Gier ergriffen - und entfesseln eine Tragödie.Ein Roman darüber, wie man im Leben verliert und was man dadurch gewinnen kann.

Butcher's Crossing
Now a major motion picture starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Gabe Polsky.<BR><BR>In his National Book Award–winning novel Augustus, John Williams uncovered the secrets of ancient Rome. With Butcher’s Crossing, his fiercely intelligent, beautifully written western, Williams dismantles the myths of modern America.<BR><BR> It is the 1870s, and Will Andrews, fired up by Emerson to seek “an original relation to nature,” drops out of Harvard and heads west. He washes up in Butcher’s Crossing, a small Kansas town on the outskirts of nowhere. Butcher’s Crossing is full of restless men looking for ways to make money and ways to waste it. Before long Andrews strikes up a friendship with one of them, a man who regales Andrews with tales of immense herds of buffalo, ready for the taking, hidden away in a beautiful valley deep in the Colorado Rockies. He convinces Andrews to join in an expedition to track the animals down. The journey out is grueling, but at the end is a place of paradisal richness. Once there, however, the three men abandon themselves to an orgy of slaughter, so caught up in killing buffalo that they lose all sense of time. Winter soon overtakes them: they are snowed in. Next spring, half-insane with cabin fever, cold, and hunger, they stagger back to Butcher’s Crossing to find a world as irremediably changed as they have been.

Stoner
'Ich habe mich in ihn verliebt.' Anna Gavalda ¿Stoner¿ ist einer der großen vergessenen Romane der amerikanischen Literatur. John Williams erzählt das Leben eines Mannes, der, als Sohn armer Farmer geboren, schließlich seine Leidenschaft für Literatur entdeckt und Professor wird - es ist die Geschichte eines genügsamen Lebens, das wenig Spuren hinterließ.Ein Roman über die Freundschaft, die Ehe, ein Campus-Roman, ein Gesellschaftsroman, schließlich ein Roman über die Arbeit. Über die harte, erbarmungslose Arbeit auf den Farmen; über die Arbeit, die einem eine zerstörerische Ehe aufbürdet, über die Mühe, in einem vergifteten Haushalt mit geduldiger Einfühlung eine Tochter großzuziehen und an der Universität oft teilnahmslosen Studenten die Literatur nahebringen zu wollen.¿Stoner¿ ist kein Liebesroman, aber doch und vor allem ein Roman über die Liebe: über die Liebe zur Poesie, zur Literatur, und auch über die romantische Liebe. Es ist ein Roman darüber, was es heißt, ein Mensch zu sein.

My Son's Not Rainman
This isn't a story about autism. It's a story about a young boy who happens to have autism, and there is a difference.<BR><BR>John Williams is a stand-up comedian. He is also a single father and full-time carer for his son, who has autism and cerebral palsy. This is their incredible story.<BR><BR>In 2012, John started a blog called My Son's Not Rainman, a heartfelt and uplifting account of everyday life for him and 'The Boy'. Following on from the blog's amazing success, John felt there was still much more of their life, past and present, that he wanted to share. And not only of the challenges of bringing up a child who for too long was just dismissed as 'difficult', but also of the joy of living with someone who looks at the world in a unique way.<BR><BR>My Son's Not Rainman radiates warmth, care and passion, not to mention laugh-out-loud humour, on every page. It is a brilliantly different story about a brilliantly different boy.
