New Releases by Elizabeth Gilbert

Edição comemorativa 20 anos 25 Milhões de exemplares vendidos Um romance autobiográfico que aborda o que acontece quando decidimos ser os artífices da nossa felicidade e deixamos de tentar viver de acordo com os modelos que nos são impostos. Pouco depois de fazer trinta anos, Elizabeth Gilbert tinha tudo o que se supõe que uma mulher moderna deseja - um marido, uma casa de sonho, uma carreira de sucesso -, mas, em vez de se sentir feliz e realizada, era consumida pelo pânico e pela confusão, até perceber que estava na altura de seguir a sua própria jornada. Este livro sábio e inspirador é a história de como Elizabeth Gilbert deixou para trás aquilo que a definia como uma mulher de sucesso e decidiu explorar três aspetos diferentes da sua natureza, tendo como pano de fundo três culturas distintas: o prazer em Itália, a devoção na Índia e, na ilha indonésia de Bali, o equilíbrio entre os prazeres mundanos e a transcendência divina. É este o percurso inesquecível que faz deste livro um dos mais marcantes e transformadores das últimas décadas. Os elogios da crítica: «Cativante, inteligente e extremamente divertido.» Time «Um livro que tem sido passado de mulher em mulher como se fosse o segredo da vida.» The Sunday Times «Umas memórias divertidas e de leitura fácil sobre o ano de viagens pelo mundo de uma escritora em busca de prazer e equilíbrio.» The Washington Post «Uma meditação sobre o amor nas suas várias formas - o amor pela comida, pela língua, pela humanidade, por Deus e, o mais significativo para Elizabeth Gilbert, o amor-próprio.» Los Angeles Times «Um livro capaz de mudar vidas.» Daily Express «Uma autora exuberante cujo humor autodepreciativo anina a narrativa.» The New Yorker «Um marco no género das memórias.» Sunday Telegraph «A prosa de Elizabeth Gilbert é alimentada por uma mistura de inteligência, sagacidade e uma exuberância coloquial que é quase irresistível.» The New York Times «Quem o lê este livro ganha uma nova melhor amiga.» The Times «Se ler apenas um livro, que seja este.» The Sun

No fundo, quantas vezes já se quis libertar das convenções, das inseguranças e do medo e seguir o chamamento de algo maior, mas não soube como fazê-lo?

Esta perspetiva única permite-nos alcançar o que mais desejamos e enfrentar o que mais tememos. A mudança faz-se de dentro para fora.

É no equilíbrio entre a espiritualidade e o pragmatismo que Elizabeth Gilbert nos encoraja a descobrir a preciosidade que escondemos dentro de nós e a trazê-la para o nosso dia a dia.

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?

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.

Elizabeth Gilbert, autora superventas de Come, reza, ama, nos trae un relato inspiracional como ruta de acceso a la vida vibrante y plena con la que siempre has soñado. Vence al miedo y descubre el milagro de una vida creativa. La mayoría de los humanos tenemos una faceta creativa en nuestras mentes que casi nunca conseguimos o queremos desarrollar por motivos prácticos o personales. Gilbert defiende la necesidad de explorar la faceta creativa para alcanzar una existencia plena, superando el miedo (a la vergüenza, a hacer el ridículo, a perder el tiempo, a no ser tomado en serio) y abrazando la parte mística e intangible de la inspiración. La autora explica cómo tener una relación positiva con la creatividad propia, cómo ser disciplinado pero no tomárselo demasiado en serio, cómo no albergar grandes expectativas pero no dejarse desanimar y cómo cada pequeño acto cotidiano, sea un dibujo, decorar la casa o hacer patinaje artístico, alimenta esa parte creativa de los humanos y no solo puede, sino que debe formar parte orgánica de nuestras vidas. Al mismo tiempo desmitifica totalmente la figura del artista atormentado, defendiendo una actitud abierta, receptiva y positiva en busca de la inspiración como resultado de una curiosidad sana, una disciplina y una determinación que mantengan el ego a raya y permitan sobrellevar decepciones y fracasos. « La creatividad es sagrada y al mismo tiempo no lo es. Lo que hacemos importa muchísimo y al mismo tiempo no importa nada. Trabajamos en soledad, y nos acompañan espíritus. Estamos aterrorizados y somos valientes. El arte es una tarea abrumadora y un privilegio maravilloso. El trabajo quiere ser hecho, y quiere ser hecho por ti». Elizabeth Gilbert Reseña: «Su avalancha de optimismo, aderezada con la dosis de humor de quien habla por experiencia, servirá de mantra a más de un lector.» El País

Comme par magie est là pour nous aider à démasquer nos dons. Gilbert nous encourage donc à aller à la recherche de notre créativité et à laisser de côté nos souffrances superflues. Elle nous montre comme capturer ce que nous aimons le plus et comment tenir tête à ce qui nous fait le plus peur. Elle évoque les attitudes, les approches et les habitudes dont nous avons besoin pour vivre notre vie de la façon la plus créative qui soit. Entre spiritualité et pragmatisme, elle nous pousse à dévoiler les « pépites » qui se cachent en nous. Que nous souhaitions écrire un livre, peindre une toile, relever de nouveaux défis professionnels, poursuivre un rêve trop longtemps mis de côté ou simplement insuffler un peu plus de passion dans notre quotidien, Comme par magie nous ouvre les portes d’un monde de merveille et de joie.

Elizabeth Gilbert "offers potent insights into the mysterious nature of inspiration. She asks us to embrace our curiosity and let go of needless suffering. She shows us how to tackle what we most love, and how to face down what we most fear. She discusses the attitudes, approaches, and habits we need in order to live our most creative lives.

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

La începutul lui 2010 a apărut în SUA, într-un prim tiraj de un milion de exemplare, Committed, mult așteptata continuare a cărții care a făcut-o celebră pe Elizabeth Gilbert, Mănâncă, roagă-te, iubește. A devenit imediat Numărul 1 pe lista de bestselleruri nonfiction a publicației New York Times. În februarie 2011 a apărut în ediție broșată. Între timp, Committed a fost tradusă, sub diverse titluri, în numeroase limbi și figurează pe listele de bestselleruri din multe țări. Mănâncă, roagă-te, iubește... și mai departe? Elizabeth Gilbert s-a căsătorit cu iubitul ei brazilian, întâlnit în Bali. De fapt, Liz și Felipe, traumatizați amândoi de divorțurile prin care trecuseră, își juraseră să nu se căsătorească niciodată. Au fost obligați s-o facă - au fost aproape condamnați la căsnicie de autoritățile americane de frontieră - doar pentru a putea rămâne împreună pe teritoriul Statelor Unite. La ceremonia de nuntă în cerc restrâns care s-a petrecut într-un orășel liniștit din New Jersey, Liz a spus da. A spus-o din toată inima. Dar pentru asta a trebuit să-și învingă, încetul cu încetul, enorma reticență față de căsătorie. Și a făcut-o în stilul ei: timp de aproape un an, călătorind cu Felipe prin Asia de sud-est, s-a documentat asupra căsătoriei. A încercat prin orice mijloace - lecturi, discuţii cu tot felul de oameni, apel la experiența familiei proprii - să se împace cu bătrâna instituție înainte de a-i trece încă o dată pragul. Iar pe drum a descoperit o seamă de fapte interesante despre căsnicie, pe care le împărtăşeşte cititorilor cu hazul, inteligenţa şi compasiunea ei caracteristice. Dincolo de aceste „inserţii socio-istorice", cum le numeşte autoarea, noul memoir al lui Elizabeth Gilbert este o celebrare a iubirii, cu toate consecinţele şi complexitatea pe care dragostea adevărată, în lumea adevărată, le atrage după sine întotdeauna. Autoarea a formulat cu simplitate, într-un interviu, concluzia noului ei volum: „Căsătoria e o stranie combinație de vis și realitate, iar noi, cuplurile, ne petrecem viața încercând să negociem granița dintre cele două. Am să spun asta, pentru ca este, cred, cea mai importantă informație din toată cartea: căsătoria nu e un joc pentru oameni tineri.“

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.

With an introduction from Elizabeth Gilbert, Margaret''s great-granddaughter, this unearthed treasure is both a beautifully-written, useful cookbook and an insight into a lifestyle previously forgotten

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.
