Περιγραφή για A Plea For Eros Siri Hustvedt Sceptre 0309

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHAT I LOVED AND A WOMAN LOOKING AT MEN LOOKING AT WOMEN\'A luminous collection of mind-expanding pieces on literary and philosophical themes . . . A book to renew one\'s faith in the literary essay\' Robert McCrum, Observer\'Thoughtful, sensuous essays . . . her enthusiasms are oddly infectious\' Daily TelegraphIn this illuminating and absorbing collection of essays, Siri Hustvedt explores many of the themes that preoccupy her novels: identity and memory, sexuality and mortality, psychology, love and the power of imagination. But here she offers her personal experience - as daughter, sister, mother and wife, student, reader and writer - to illustrate fundamental aspects of our lives as individuals and social beings in the modern world. She draws, too, on the work of Henry James, F Scott Fitzgerald and Charles Dickens, probing their insights into human nature.Wise, honest and luminously intelligent, this is a book that invites us to look afresh at ourselves and the universe we inhabit.\'One of the most talented voices in contemporary fiction . . . Hustvedt brings the same visual power, sensuality and intelligence to her collection of essays\' Los Angeles Times Book ReviewPRAISE FOR SIRI HUSTVEDT:\'Hustvedt is that rare artist, a writer of high intelligence, profound sensuality and a less easily definable capacity for which the only word I can find is wisdom\' Salman Rushdie\'It is Hustvedt\'s gift to write with exemplary clarity of what is by necessity unclear\' Hilary Mantel\'Her novels have received a deserved acclaim. But to my mind, she is even more to be admired as an essayist . . . in this regard I feel that she resembles Virginia Woolf \' Observer\'Few contemporary writers are as satisfying and stimulating to read as Siri Hustvedt\' Washington Post Σελίδες: 240, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0309, Διαστάσεις: 16.4x16.4cm
