Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. An international literary event: Ten new stories from a beloved and award-winning author.This stunning collection of new stories demonstrates once again why Alice Munro is celebrated as a pre-eminent master of the short story. While some of the stories are traditional, set in Alice Munro Country in Ontario or in B.C., dealing with ordinary womens lives, others have a new, sharper edge. They involve child murders, strange sex, and a terrifying home invasion. By way of astonishing variety, the title story, set in Victorian Europe, follows the last journey from France to Sweden of a famous Russian mathematician. This daring, superb collection proves that Alice Munro will always surprise you.

Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Condition: Sehr gut. 2. Auflage. 362 (6) Seiten. 19 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Gundula Hißmann und Andreas Heilmann. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. Nobelpreis für Literatur 2013. Munro kann auf wenigen Seiten ganze Schicksale und Welten fühlbar machen. Ihre Beobachtungen sind präzise, direkt und nüchtern, die Sprache glasklar und souverän. -- Judith W. Taschler, Bücher Magazin 2019-07-24. Zu viel oder zu wenig für das Glück gibt es kein Maß, nie trifft man es richtig. Alice Munros Heldinnen und Helden geht es nicht anders, sie haben das Zuviel und Zuwenig erlebt: eine Balance ist nur schwer zu finden. Auf der Suche nach ihr macht Alice Munro ihre Leser zu Komplizen dieser spannenden Mission. »Ich bewundere Alice Munro. Ich bewundere die Direktheit ihres Erzählens, die Nüchternheit und Einfachheit ihrer Sprache. () Was für Geschichten, was für ein Werk!« Bernhard Schlink, Die Welt. - Alice Munro (geborene Alice Ann Laidlaw; * 10. Juli 1931 in Wingham, Ontario) ist eine kanadische Schriftstellerin und Literaturnobelpreisträgerin, deren Werk mehr als 150 Kurzgeschichten umfasst. Alice Munro hat die Struktur von Kurzgeschichten revolutioniert. Die Geschichten, die sich durch sprachlichen Feinschliff auszeichnen, beginnen oft an einer unerwarteten Stelle, anschließend wird die Erzählung chronologisch rückwärts oder vorwärts entwickelt. Mit ihren Erzählungen knüpft Munro an die angelsächsische Tradition der Short Story an und wird oft mit Anton Tschechow, dem russischen Meister dieser Form, verglichen. In Kanada und im englischsprachigen Raum ist Alice Munro eine Bestsellerautorin. Sie wurde mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichnet, unter anderem 2009 mit dem Man Booker International Prize und 2013 mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur. . Werk: Munros Erzählungen sind realitätsnah, abgründig, unsentimental und haben häufig einen offenen Schluss. Marcela Valdes schreibt, dass Munros Charaktere packend sind, weil sie wie echte Menschen voller Ungereimtheiten seien, die Munro mit einer Technik darstelle, die an den Pointillismus erinnert: Eine glänzende Szene an die nächste setzen, ohne auf Chronologie Wert zu legen. Alice Munro ist als Erzählerin das, was man sophisticated' nennt. Mag das Leben auch absurd erscheinen, bei ihr geschieht nichts ohne Hintersinn", schreibt Gabriele Killert zu Beginn ihrer Rezension des jüngsten Bandes in deutscher Sprache, Zu viel Glück.[9] Leah Hager Cohen schreibt, man atme beim Lesen im Rhythmus anderer, man sehe die Blickwinkel anderer, als ob es die eigenen wären. Munros erzähltechnische Fähigkeit, im Leser Empathie zu wecken, sei nahezu unmerklich. Alice Munro beschwöre die Lesekultur, indem diskrete Hinweise in Sachen Leiden und Hoffnung vor allem dann platziert würden, wenn ihre Figuren Bücher zur Hand nehmen, meint Michael Braun. Thomas Steinfeld stellt fest, dass fast alle Protagonisten in Munros Short Stories Frauen sind und auch ansonsten kaum männliche Figuren vorkommen. Viele der Figuren leben in prekären Verhältnissen. In Szenen und Dialogen, die gewöhnlich erscheinen, wird das Umheimliche des alltäglichen Lebens in einer globalisierten Welt sichtbar. Die paradoxe Natur von Erfahrung sei ein vertrautes Motiv bei Munro, was sich nicht selten anhand von uneindeutigen Anfängen und Schlüssen zeige, so Dennis Duffy. Die politische Dimension ist implizit und liegt darin, dass menschliche Beziehungen genau ausgelotet werden, schreibt Christopher Schmidt und zitiert Verleger Jörg Bong vom S. Fischer Verlag dahingehend, dass Munro in ihrem Werk das Paradox verkörpere, auf ganz einfache Weise vom Allerkompliziertesten erzählen zu können. Jörg Bong attestiere dem Werk von Alice Munro Größe, Weisheit, Tiefe und Bescheidenheit von einer einzigartigen Aura. Munros Prosa zeige eine enorme Spannbreite, denn sie sei einerseits den Figuren ganz nah und gleichzeitig ungeheuer weit weg, oben. Elmar Krekeler vermutet in seiner Rezension des vierzehnten und jüngsten Bandes Liebes Leben (2012) für Berliner Morgenpost, dass d.

Hardback. Brilliantly paced, lit with sparks of danger and underlying menace, these are dazzling, provocative stories about Svengali men, and radical women who outmanoeuvre them, about destructive marriages and curdled friendships, about mothers and sons, and about moments which change or haunt a life. Alice Munro takes on complex, even harrowing emotions and events, and renders them into stories that surprise, amaze and shed light on the unpredictable ways we accommodate to what happens in our lives. A wife and mother, whose spirit has been crushed, finds release from her extraordinary pain in the most unlikely place. The young victim of a humiliating seduction (which involves reading Housman in the nude) finds an unusual way to get her own back and move on. An older woman, dying of cancer, weaves a poisonous story to save her life. Other stories uncover the 'deep holes' in marriage and their consequences, the dangerous intimacy of girls and the cruelty of children. The long title story follows Sophia Kovalevsky, a late nineteenth-century Russian emigree and mathematical genius, as she takes a fateful winter journey that begins with a visit to her lover on the Riviera, and ends in Sweden, where she is a professor at the only university willing to hire a woman to teach her subject. Munro's unsettling stories turn lives into art, expand our world and our understanding of the strange workings of the human heart. 2009. Reprint. A fine, unmarked copy in a near fine, unclipped d/w with only light tanning to the rear panel.
