Jeanette Winterson Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

The genre-bending and masterful new collection of ghost stories from Jeanette Winterson A ghost has no substance, but it has power - and presence - and it can appear in alternative forms. In the metaverse, we are all alternative forms. The Dead will join us. 'Always passionate and provocative' NEW STATESMAN 'The best living writer in this language' EVENING STANDARD Our lives are digital, exposed and always-on. We track our friends and family wherever they go. We have millennia of knowledge at our fingertips. We know everything about our world. But we know nothing about theirs. We have changed, but our ghosts have not. They've simply adapted and innovated, found new channels to reach us. They inhabit our apps and wander the metaverse just as they haunt our homes and our memories, always seeking new ways to connect. To live amongst us. To remind us. To tempt us. To take their revenge. These stories are not ours to tell. They are the stories of the dead - of those we've lost, loved, forgotten... and feared. Some are fiction. But some may not be.

Un mercoledì di metà giugno del 1923 Clarissa Dalloway, moglie di un deputato conservatore alla Camera dei Lords, esce per comprare dei fiori per la festa che la sera riunirà nella sua casa una variopinta galleria di personaggi. Tra gli altri: Peter Walsh, l'amante respinto, appena tornato dall'India, e l'amica tanto amata, più di ogni uomo, Sally Seton. Per le strade di Londra passeggia anche Septimus Warren Smith, il deuteragonista del romanzo. Nulla sembra legare i due, se non la città di Londra. Clarissa ha cinquant'anni, è ricca. Septimus ne ha appena trenta, è povero e traumatizzato dall'esperienza feroce e violenta della guerra, in cui ha perduto non solo l'amico Evans, ma ogni pace. Eppure i due, senza mai incontrarsi, semplicemente sfiorando gli stessi luoghi, comunicano. Con sapienza straordinaria Virginia Woolf, giunta con questo al suo quarto romanzo, tesse il filo sottile di corrispondenze, echi, emozioni che creano un'opera di grande intensità. Dove un uomo e una donna sconosciuti l'uno all'altra sono accomunati dallo stesso amore e terrore della vita, che li porterà, nell'accettazione (femminile) o nel rifiuto (maschile), ad affermarne comunque l'inestimabile valore.

From 'one of the most gifted writers working today' (New York Times) comes an audacious new novel about the bodies we live in and the bodies we desire In Brexit Britain, a young transgender doctor called Ry is falling in love – against their better judgement – with Victor Stein, a celebrated professor leading the public debate around AI.Meanwhile, Ron Lord, just divorced and living with Mum again, is set to make his fortune launching a new generation of sex dolls for lonely men everywhere.Across the Atlantic, in Phoenix, Arizona, a cryonics facility houses dozens of bodies of men and women who are medically and legally dead… but waiting to return to life.But the scene is set in 1816, when nineteen-year-old Mary Shelley writes a story about creating a non-biological life-form. ‘Beware, for I am fearless and therefore powerful.'What will happen when homo sapiens is no longer the smartest being on the planet?

Nell'autunno del 1975, la sedicenne Jeanette Winterson deve scegliere tra restare con i genitori adottivi al 200 di Water Street o vivere in una Mini con la ragazza di cui è innamorata. Opta per la seconda opzione, desiderando la felicità. Quando cerca di spiegare la sua scelta alla madre, questa le chiede: "Perché essere felice quando puoi essere normale?". Così inizia il racconto di un'infanzia segnata da un padre indifferente e da una madre che trascorre le notti ad ascoltare il Vangelo alla radio, mentre prepara torte e lavora a maglia. La sua storia è una lotta per sopravvivere alle angherie materne, che la tengono fuori di casa tutta la notte e la sottopongono a esorcismi. È una battaglia per affermare se stessa, la propria omosessualità e l'amore per i libri. Questo amore per la letteratura nasce come rifugio, in cerca di quell'affetto che in famiglia manca. Anche quando la madre scopre i libri nascosti e li brucia, l'amore per la lettura resiste. Con generosità e onestà, Jeanette esplora i suoi pensieri e sentimenti di bambina, adolescente e donna, ripercorrendo la dolorosa ricerca della sua famiglia naturale. Ne scaturisce un racconto intenso, tragico ma anche allegro, come la sua scrittura.

In 1985 Jeanette Winterson's first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, was published. It was Jeanette's version of the story of a terraced house in Accrington, an adopted child, and the thwarted giantess Mrs Winterson. It was a cover story, a painful past written over and repainted. It was a story of survival. This book is that story's the silent twin. It is full of hurt and humour and a fierce love of life. It is about the pursuit of happiness, about lessons in love, the search for a mother and a journey into madness and out again. It is generous, honest and true.

The incredible variety of Acker's body of work has been distilled into a single volume that reads like a communique from the front lines of late-20th century America.

You can be the hero of your own life. You can have freedom just for one night. But there is a price. Ali discovers that she too will have to pay it. Death can take the body but not the heart. Set in London, Paris, Capri and Cyberspace, this is a book that reinvents itself as it travels.

Een vrouw en jongen in het 17e-eeuwse Engeland blijken zich in bizarre 20e-eeuwse fantasieën te bevinden.

Una provocatoria esplorazione nei domini dell'arte, del linguaggio, del tempo e dell'identità. Su un treno che sfreccia nel presente, o nel prossimo futuro, si trovano tre personaggi apparentemente diversi: Handel, un ex sacerdote divenuto chirurgo, un uomo che ha sacrificato tutto all'intelletto; Picasso, una giovane donna scacciata dalla famiglia che ha trovato conforto nella pittura; Saffo, la poetessa dell'antichità, viva come lo sono ancora i suoi versi. Tre personaggi simbolici ma dolorosamente reali, resi alieni da un mondo tecnologico e riuniti da Jeannette Winterson in un libro che parla di desiderio, amore, perdita, un libro che celebra la bellezza senza tempo dell'arte.

Alla base di Scritto sul corpo c'è una specie di gioco che Jeanette Winterson propone ai lettori, tanto più sorprendente e coinvolgente in quanto applicato a un romanzo d'amore che possiede il ritmo febbrile e coinvolgente di ogni vera passione: mentre di tutti gli altri personaggi sappiamo se si tratta di un uomo o di una donna, l'autrice non ci lascia mai capire a quale sesso appartenga l'io narrante, la voce e il punto di vista attraverso i quali vengono filtrate tutte le vicende e tutte le figure della storia. Di questa passione d'amore bruciante, poetica, profondamente incisa nei sensi e nella mente conosciamo l'oggetto - Louise, una bellissima donna sposata dai capelli color rosso Tiziano - ma non il soggetto, se non tramite rari indizi sparsi qua e là, troppo incerti per ricavarne una conferma definitiva. Attraverso una scrittura appassionata, ironica, scandita con ritmi inusuali, il lettore si troverà così a esplorare emozioni e sentimenti con un'ottica e con una partecipazione diverse, in un lungo e lento viaggio nelle profondità e negli enigmi dell'erotismo e del desiderio.

Scoprirà presto che l'unico limite all'avventura umana risiede nella forza dell'immaginazione. Un libro affascinante che mescola il gusto orientale per la fiaba e la tradizione filosofica occidentale. Un romanzo che conferma la Winterson come autrice di libri di culto.

The Passion is a modern classic that confirms Jeanette Winterson's special claim on the novel. Set during the tumultuous years of the Napoleonic Wars, The Passion intertwines the destinies of two remarkable people: Henri, a simple French soldier, who follows Napoleon from glory to Russian ruin; and Villanelle, the red-haired, web-footed daughter of a Venetian boatman, whose husband has gambled away her heart. In Venice's compound of carnival, chance, and darkness, the pair meet their singular destiny. In her unique and mesmerizing voice, Winterson blends reality with fantasy, dream, and imagination to weave a hypnotic tale with stunning effects.

Il romanzo è il racconto in prima persona di Henri, cuoco nell'esercito di Napoleone, e della sua passione non corrisposta per la figlia lesbica di un gondoliere veneziano. Il resoconto di un innamorato che scava dentro se stesso per scoprire finalmente il confine segreto fra l'amore e l'ossessione, tra la favola e il sentimento autentico. Sullo sfondo dell'ascesa e del declino di Napoleone, si intreccia un'opera che fonde temi scabrosi e fantasia, esplorando i sottili meccanismi psicologici che innescano la smodata adorazione per un leader e per una donna.
