New Releases by Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert regresa con la historia del gran amor de su vida. La autora que inspiró a millones de lectores a vivir con autenticidad (Come, reza, ama) y creatividad (Libera tu magia) nos muestra cómo alcanzar la libertad. En 2000, Elizabeth conoció a Rayya. Se hicieron amigas, luego mejores amigas, luego inseparables. Cuando la tragedia irrumpió en sus vidas, la verdad quedó finalmente al descubierto: estaban enamoradas. También eran un par de adictas, abocadas inevitablemente a la catástrofe. ¿Qué pasaría si tu más hermosa historia de amor se convirtiera en tu peor pesadilla? ¿Y si el más devastador dolor abriera el camino a tu mayor despertar? Hasta la orilla del río es un libro de memorias que llegará al corazón de cualquiera que haya estado alguna vez cautivo del amor -o de cualquier otra pasión, sustancia o deseo- y que anhele, por fin, la libertad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In her first nonfiction book in a decade, the #1 bestselling writer who taught millions of readers to live authentically (Eat Pray Love) and creatively (Big Magic) shows how to break free. In 2000, Elizabeth Gilbert met Rayya. They became friends, then best friends, then inseparable. When tragedy entered their lives, the truth was finally laid bare: The two were in love. They were also a pair of addicts, on a collision course toward catastrophe. What if your most beautiful love story turned into your biggest nightmare? What if the dear friend who taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies became the unstable partner with whom you disastrously reenacted every one of them? And what if your most devastating heartbreak opened a pathway to your greatest awakening? All the Way to the River is a landmark memoir that will resonate with anyone who has ever been captive to love--or to any other passion, substance, or craving - and who yearns, at long last, for liberation.

Em busca de tempo e espaço para descobrir quem era e o que realmente queria, Elizabeth Gilbert demitiu-se do emprego e partiu para uma viagem de um ano pelo mundo — sozinha. Comer, rezar, amar, que já vendeu mais de 12 milhões de exemplares no mundo, é a envolvente crônica desse ano. "E se sua vida pertencesse a você?" Foi essa a pergunta que Elizabeth Gilbert se fez ao virar a própria vida de cabeça para baixo, partindo sozinha em uma viagem de autodescoberta. Seu objetivo era visitar três lugares onde pudesse explorar diferentes aspectos de sua natureza. Em Roma, estudou a arte do prazer, aprendeu italiano e engordou os onze quilos mais felizes de sua vida. Na Índia, se dedicou à arte da devoção e, com a ajuda de uma guru local e de um caubói texano surpreendentemente sábio, embarcou em quatro meses de contínua exploração espiritual. Em Bali, estudou a arte do equilíbrio entre o prazer mundano e a transcendência divina. Tornou-se discípula de um velho xamã, e também se apaixonou — por um brasileiro — da melhor maneira possível: inesperadamente. Ninguém precisa se divorciar ou se mudar para a Índia para transformar a vida — "Não faça o que eu fiz; pergunte-se o que eu me perguntei", recomenda Gilbert. Só assim você poderá encontrar, como ela encontrou, uma real sensação de liberdade e alegria com a própria existência. Comer, rezar, amar é um convite irrecusável a todos que queiram se abrir à inesgotável, e às vezes necessária, vontade de mudar. "Nestas memórias de viagem cativantes e fascinantes, a jornalista Elizabeth Gilbert passeia, durante um ano, pela Itália, Índia e Indonésia. Nossa sorte é que as lições de vida dela são genuinamente universais." — Marie Claire EUA "Gilbert é irreverente, hilária, animada, corajosa, inteligente. Sua odisseia espiritual, sensual e audaciosa traz doses iguais de prazer e iluminação." — Booklist

In "Homer Martin, a Reminiscence," Elizabeth Gilbert Martin offers a profound exploration of the life and legacy of her paternal grandfather, Homer Martin, blending memoir and biography with an intimate narrative style. Martin'Äôs lyrical prose captures the essence of her grandfather's experiences, illustrating not only his personal journey but also the broader historical context that shaped his life. Through vivid anecdotes and meticulously researched details, the author envelops readers in a tapestry of familial bonds, American life in the early 20th century, and the transformative power of memory, compelling them to reflect on their own histories. Elizabeth Gilbert Martin, a talented writer with a diverse literary background, draws from her own rich experiences in creating this homage to her grandfather. Her previous works, steeped in authenticity and emotional depth, are emboldened by a deep reverence for family narratives and personal histories. This multifaceted approach showcases her commitment to bridging generational gaps, emphasizing the wisdom of our ancestors while inviting readers to consider their own familial legacies. "Homer Martin, a Reminiscence" is a beautifully crafted work that resonates on multiple levels, making it essential reading for those interested in memoir, history, and the intricate weave of personal and collective identity.

Het avontuurlijke leven van een gecompliceerde man Eustace Conway is in de ogen van Elizabeth Gilbert de laatste echte Amerikaanse man. Als zeventienjarige jongen verlaat Conway zijn ouderlijk huis, weg van de continue minachting van zijn vader. Hij verruilt huiselijk comfort voor een tipi in de Appalachen, waar hij zelfvoorzienend probeert te leven. Naarmate hij ouder wordt, jaagt hij grotere dromen na: hij vaart de Mississippi af in een zelfgemaakte kano, loopt de Appalachian Trail, en doorkruist Amerika te paard. Twintig jaar later woont Conway nog steeds in de bergen, waar hij lesgeeft in overlevingstechnieken aan mensen die dichter bij de natuur willen komen. Gaandeweg komt hij erachter dat ook hij zijn dromen zal moeten aanpassen aan de ontnuchterende realiteit van het moderne leven. Gilbert neemt op de haar kenmerkende wijze, vol energie en humor, de lezer mee in het avontuurlijke leven van een hopeloos gecompliceerde man: een visionair, een narcist, een briljante maar ook gemankeerde held van deze tijd.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From the # 1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and The Signature of All Things, a delicious novel of glamour, sex, and adventure, about a young woman discovering that you don't have to be a good girl to be a good person. "A spellbinding novel about love, freedom, and finding your own happiness." - PopSugar "Intimate and richly sensual, razzle-dazzle with a hint of danger." -USA Today "Pairs well with a cocktail...or two." -TheSkimm "Life is both fleeting and dangerous, and there is no point in denying yourself pleasure, or being anything other than what you are." Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance. Her affluent parents send her to Manhattan to live with her Aunt Peg, who owns a flamboyant, crumbling midtown theater called the Lily Playhouse. There Vivian is introduced to an entire cosmos of unconventional and charismatic characters, from the fun-chasing showgirls to a sexy male actor, a grand-dame actress, a lady-killer writer, and no-nonsense stage manager. But when Vivian makes a personal mistake that results in professional scandal, it turns her new world upside down in ways that it will take her years to fully understand. Ultimately, though, it leads her to a new understanding of the kind of life she craves - and the kind of freedom it takes to pursue it. It will also lead to the love of her life, a love that stands out from all the rest. Now eighty-nine years old and telling her story at last, Vivian recalls how the events of those years altered the course of her life - and the gusto and autonomy with which she approached it. "At some point in a woman's life, she just gets tired of being ashamed all the time," she muses. "After that, she is free to become whoever she truly is." Written with a powerful wisdom about human desire and connection, City of Girls is a love story like no other.

The New York Times Book ReviewENGLISH DESCRIPTIONElizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love touched the world and changed countless lives, inspiring and empowering millions of readers to search for their own best selves.In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want--husband, country home, successful career--but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success, and set out to explore three different aspects of her nature, against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence.

L''amore, la stabilità un buon lavoro. A trent''anni Elizabeth Gilbert ha già tutto questo, ma una notte si ritrova a singhiozzare sul pavimento, con una sola certezza: "Non voglio più questa vita perfetta". Un''atroce consapevolezza che trascinerà Liz in uno spericolato viaggio fuori e dentro di sè, prima a Roma, per riscoprire il piacere della tavola e dell''amicizia; poi in India, a immergersi nella preghiera; e infine a Bali, a lasciarsi guidare da nuovi desideri e speranze.

Botanica, explorarea lumii şi dorinţa: acestea sunt temele în jurul cărora şi-a construit Elizabeth Gilbert ultima carte (2013) – un mare roman despre un mare secol, al nouăsprezecelea. Extraordinara sa eroină, Alma Whittaker, născută la Philadelphia la începutul anului 1800, studiază plantele, cu precădere muşchiul, şi ajunge astfel să descifreze, independent de Darwin, misterele evoluţiei în lumea naturală. Dacă Alma e prototipul omului de ştiinţă riguros şi lucid, Ambrose, bărbatul de care se îndrăgosteşte, este artistul utopic care crede, asemenea misticului german din secolul al şaisprezecelea Jakob Bӧhme, că Dumnezeu şi-ar fi lăsat, spre binele oamenilor, semnătura, amprenta, marca, în alcătuirea fiecărei plante de pe pământ, astfel că întreaga lume naturală e un cod divin purtând dovada iubirii Creatorului. Acţiunea romanului, scris într-un ritm alert, pe măsura pasionantelor peripeţii ale trupului şi minţii pe care le înfăţişează, şi populat cu personaje ieşite din comun – aventurieri, misionari, astronomi, căpitani de corabie, genii, nebuni –, se petrece, rând pe rând, la Londra, în Peru, la Philadelphia, în Tahiti şi la Amsterdam. „Cred că suntem cu toţii trecători... Cred că suntem pe jumătate orbi şi plini de greşeli. Cred că înţelegem foarte puţin, iar din ce înţelegem mare parte e greşit. Cred că nu putem supravieţui vieţii – asta, cel puţin, e evident! –, dar, dacă avem noroc, îi putem rezista foarte mult timp. ...Niciodată n-am simţit nevoia să inventez o lume dincolo de aceasta, fiindcă lumea aceasta mi s-a părut dintotdeauna îndeajuns de mare şi de frumoasă pentru mine... Eu n-am vrut altceva decât să cunosc lumea aceasta. Acum, când mă apropii de sfârşit, pot spune că o cunosc mult mai bine decât atunci când am sosit în ea. Mai mult, fărâma mea de cunoaştere s-a adăugat restului de cunoaştere acumulată de-a lungul istoriei – s-a adăugat, cum s-ar zice, marii biblioteci. Nu e puţin lucru... Oricine poate spune asta a trăit o viaţă norocoasă.“ (Alma Whittaker, eroina lui Elizabeth Gilbert)

A glorious, sweeping novel of desire, ambition, and the thirst for knowledge, from the # 1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat Pray Love, Big Magic, and City of Girls In The Signature of All Things, Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction, inserting her inimitable voice into an enthralling story of love, adventure and discovery. Spanning much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the novel follows the fortunes of the extraordinary Whittaker family as led by the enterprising Henry Whittaker—a poor-born Englishman who makes a great fortune in the South American quinine trade, eventually becoming the richest man in Philadelphia. Born in 1800, Henry’s brilliant daughter, Alma (who inherits both her father’s money and his mind), ultimately becomes a botanist of considerable gifts herself. As Alma’s research takes her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, she falls in love with a man named Ambrose Pike who makes incomparable paintings of orchids and who draws her in the exact opposite direction—into the realm of the spiritual, the divine, and the magical. Alma is a clear-minded scientist; Ambrose a utopian artist—but what unites this unlikely couple is a desperate need to understand the workings of this world and the mechanisms behind all life. Exquisitely researched and told at a galloping pace, The Signature of All Things soars across the globe—from London to Peru to Philadelphia to Tahiti to Amsterdam, and beyond. Along the way, the story is peopled with unforgettable characters: missionaries, abolitionists, adventurers, astronomers, sea captains, geniuses, and the quite mad. But most memorable of all, it is the story of Alma Whittaker, who—born in the Age of Enlightenment, but living well into the Industrial Revolution—bears witness to that extraordinary moment in human history when all the old assumptions about science, religion, commerce, and class were exploding into dangerous new ideas. Written in the bold, questing spirit of that singular time, Gilbert’s wise, deep, and spellbinding tale is certain to capture the hearts and minds of readers.

A los treinta y un años y con una vida aparentemente perfecta, Elizabeth Gilbert se traslada con su marido a las afueras de Nueva York y decide intentar tener un hijo, sólo para darse cuenta de que no quería ni un hijo ni un marido. En plena crisis emocional y espiritual decide empezar de nuevo y emprender un largo viaje. Este libro es la bitácora de esa travesía, en la que la autora descubrirá el placer sensual de la buena mesa y la buena conversación (la dolce vita romana), la paz interior alcanzada mediante la meditación en Bombay y, por fin, el deseado equilibrio entre cuerpo y espíritu en Bali. «En Come, reza, ama Elizabeth Gilbert nos regala un diario de descubrimiento y viaje interior estructurado como una novela romántica que atrapa al lector desde la primera página. El tono de complicidad, el estilo informal y por momentos muy divertido convierten su lectura en una experiencia inolvidable.» Publishers Weekly

De Amerikaanse schrijfster gebruikt de tijd die ze nodig heeft voor het legaliseren van haar relatie met een knappe Braziliaan om meer inzicht te krijgen in het instituut huwelijk.

Alma Whittaker naît avec le XIXe siècle, à Philadelphie, d’un père anglais dont le talent de botaniste et la roublardise lui ont permis de faire fortune dans le commerce du quinquina et d’une mère qui tient de sa famille de l’Hortus Botanicus d’Amsterdam une formidable érudition ainsi qu’une rigueur toute hollandaise. À leurs côtés et au contact des éminents chercheurs qui gravitent autour d’eux, Alma acquiert une intelligence éclectique et la passion de la botanique. En grandissant, elle se passionne pour les mousses puis pour Ambrose Pike, illustrateur de génie. Comme elle, il cherche à percer les secrets de l’univers mais, à la logique scientifique d’Alma, il préfère une pensée ésotérique ; un fossé qui les éloignera inexorablement et poussera enfin Alma à partir à la découverte du vaste monde. Alors que les terra incognita s’amenuisent de jour en jour, Alma explore les continents, la nature, la société dans laquelle elle vit et son propre corps – de l’infiniment grand à l’infiniment petit. Des bas-fonds de Londres en passant par Philadelphie, Tahiti ou les cimes des Andes, Elizabeth Gilbert nous raconte le siècle kaléidoscopique qui voit jaillir l’esprit des Lumières. Sa plume est vive, insolente, savante et non dénuée de romantisme : à l’image de son héroïne.

"... e vissero felici, divorziati e contenti." Doveva finire così la favola di Elizabeth Gilbert e del suo Felipe. Li avevamo lasciati a Bali, innamorati e decisi a non sposarsi mai più. Un primo matrimonio rovinosamente fallito per entrambi poteva bastare: d''ora in avanti avrebbero celebrato l''amore in modo diverso, senza vincoli e riti ufficiali, viaggiando e lavorando come prima, con Philadelphia come base e il passaporto sempre in tasca. Ma il Dipartimento americano per l''immigrazione aveva in mente un finale diverso. Elizabeth Gilbert riprende il racconto da dove l''aveva interrotto alla fine di Mangia prega ama, ed esplora il tema controverso e affascinante del grande "sì", in un libro pieno di incontri, storie e piccole formidabili rivelazioni.

«Elizabeth Gilbert ha publicado, finalmente, la continuación de Come, reza, ama, el libro en el que relata su viaje por Italia, India e Indonesia en busca de la alegría, el amor y el sentido de la vida. Traducido a 30 idiomas, ha estado 151 semanas en la lista de best sellers de los Estados Unidos y ha hecho felices a millones de mujeres que buscan lo mismo en todo el mundo. Con el lanzamiento de su nuevo libro, Comprometida, la autora les cuenta a los lectores todos los detalles de lo que pasó después con la historia de Liz y el brasileño». The Washington Post

The best-selling author of Eat, Pray, Love republishes the newly discovered cookbook and travelogue written by her great-grandmother.

Em Sobre homens e lagostas, romance de estreia de Elizabeth Gilbert, a autora do best-seller Comer, Rezar, Amar explora o universo das comunidades que se beneficiam da pesca lagosteira no litoral do Maine, nos Estados Unidos. Os habitantes das ilhas de Fort Niles e Courne Haven são inimigos há décadas, e os lagosteiros locais sempre estiveram em pé de guerra. É nesse mundo que habita Ruth Thomas, a jovem heroína deste livro, que poderia ter escolhido uma vida de luxo e privilégios por ser herdeira da rica família da mãe. Mas é o mundo bruto do pai e dos pescadores onde ela cresceu e escolheu viver. Principalmente depois de conhecer Owney Wishnell, jovem aspirante a pescador, de personalidade reservada e porte atlético, e um dos maiores inimigos de seu pai.

Elizabeth Gilbert presenta, en aquesta novel·la autobiogràfica, una reflexió sobre l'amor, l'esperança i la il·lusió de començar de nou. Amb el to íntim i cordial que la caracteritza, l'autora ofereix tota mena de consells pràctics, escenes memorables i anècdotes històriques sobre el matrimoni i la vida en parella. El lector és testimoni de la història d'amor de la mateixa Elizabeth, que després d'un divorci traumàtic descobreix de nou l'amor en Felipe, un brasiler de nacionalitat australiana. Elizabeth i Felipe es prometen fidelitat, però també juren que no es casaran mai. Quan a la frontera dels EUA impedeixen el pas a Felipe, Elizabeth es planteja els pros i els contres del matrimoni i del compromís sentimental, des de les avinences i desavinences quotidianes fins a les tradicions familiars, passant per tot un rosari de mites, expectatives socials i temors de tota mena. El resultat és un llibre tendre i irònic, en què una escèptica fa les paus amb el matrimoni i reivindica les virtuts del compromís i el dret de tornar a començar."Si avui dia es publica una literatura més atractiva que la d'Elizabeth Gilbert, nosaltres no l'hem sabuda trobar. La seva prosa és una barreja irresistible d'intel·ligència, enginy i amenitat col·loquial". The New York Times Book Review.

The #1 New York Times bestselling follow-up to Eat, Pray, Love--an intimate and erudite celebration of love—from the author of Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear. At the end of her memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian living in Indonesia. The couple swore eternal love, but also swore (as skittish divorce survivors) never to marry. However, providence intervened in the form of a U.S. government ultimatum: get married, or Felipe could never enter America again. Told with Gilbert's trademark humor and intelligence, this fascinating meditation on compatibility and fidelity chronicles Gilbert's complex and sometimes frightening journey into second marriage, and will enthrall the millions of readers who made Eat, Pray, Love a number one bestseller.
