Der Zauberer
Feinfühlig, vorurteilslos, unterhaltsam - Colm Tóibíns neuer großer Roman über Thomas MannEin literarisches Ereignis. Colm Tóibín erzählt mit einmaliger Empathie das Leben von Thomas Mann als Roman. Von der Kindheit in Lübeck bis zur Heirat in München, von der Gegnerschaft gegen die Nazis bis zum amerikanischen Exil. Wie viele Gesichter hatte der weltberühmte Autor und Familienvater, der sein Gefühlsleben verborgen hielt, zerrissen zwischen homosexuellem Begehren und familiärem Pflichtgefühl, zwischen der Wonne der Bürgerlichkeit und der künstlerischen Askese? Selten wurde so feinfühlig, vorurteilslos und mit frappierender Leichtigkeit über den legendären Schriftsteller und seine schillernde Familie geschrieben. Ein Künstlerroman, wie man ihn in Deutschland noch nie gelesen hat.

The result is a string of masterpieces, but they are produced at a high personal cost.<BR><BR>In The Master Colm Tóibín, author of Brooklyn and Long Island, 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.

Nora Webster
* * * Shortlisted for the 2014 Costa Novel Awards and the 2015 Folio Prize * * * <BR><BR>Nora Webster is the heartbreaking new novel from one of the greatest novelists writing today.<BR><BR>It is the late 1960s in Ireland. Nora Webster is living in a small town, looking after her four children, trying to rebuild her life after the death of her husband. She is fiercely intelligent, at times difficult and impatient, at times kind, but she is trapped by her circumstances, and waiting for any chance which will lift her beyond them. <BR><BR>Slowly, through the gift of music and the power of friendship, she finds a glimmer of hope and a way of starting again. As the dynamic of the family changes, she seems both fiercely self-possessed but also a figure of great moral ambiguity, making her one of the most memorable heroines in contemporary fiction. <BR><BR>The portrait that is painted in the years that follow is harrowing, piercingly insightful, always tender and deeply true. Colm Tóibín's Nora is a character as resonant as Anna Karenina or Madame Bovary and Nora Webster is a novel that illuminates our own lives in a way that is rare in literature. Its humanity and compassion forge an unforgettable reading experience. <BR><BR>'A profoundly gifted world writer' Sebastian Barry
