Ogni cosa è illuminata

release date: Dec 30, 2010
Ogni cosa è illuminata
«Qualche volta, basta un solo libro per cancellare i nostri dubbi sulla letteratura di oggi.» la Repubblica - Pietro Citati «Il libro straordinario di uno scrittore straordinario.» Corriere della Sera - Fernanda Pivano «Ogni cosa è illuminata è un libro definitivo.» ttl - La Stampa - Elena Loewenthal Versione aggiornata e corretta nel luglio 2013 «Qualche volta, basta un solo libro per cancellare i nostri dubbi sulla letteratura di oggi.» Pietro Citati, la Repubblica «Il libro straordinario di uno scrittore straordinario.» Fernanda Pivano, Corriere della Sera Con una vecchia fotografia in mano, un giovane studente ebreo americano intraprende un viaggio in Ucraina alla ricerca della donna che (forse) ha salvato suo nonno dai nazisti. Ad accompagnarlo sono il coetaneo Alex, della locale agenzia «Viaggi Tradizione», suo nonno – affetto da una cecità psicosomatica ma sempre al volante della loro auto – e un cane puzzolente. Il racconto esilarante, ma a tratti anche straziato, del loro itinerario si alterna a una vera e propria saga ebraica, che ripercorre la storia favolosa di un villaggio ucraino del Settecento fino alla distruzione avvenuta a opera dei nazisti. Un viaggio immaginoso aggrappato ai fili della memoria, fili impregnati di vita vera, storie d''amore, vicende tragiche e farsesche. Un modo tutto nuovo di rileggere il passato per illuminare il nostro presente.

Tree of Codes

release date: Jan 01, 2010
Tree of Codes
A masterful work of storytelling, a unique sculptural object created through a collaborative process between Visual Editions and author. A curiosity with the die-cut technique was combined with the pages'' physical relationship to one another and how this could somehow be developed to work with a meaningful narrative. This led to Jonathan deciding to use an existing piece of text and cut a new story out of it - his favourite book, The Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz. Writing, cutting and proto-typing has created a new story cut from the words of an old favourite.

Å spise dyr

release date: Jan 01, 2010
Å spise dyr
Jonathan Safran Foer ble verdenskjent med suksessromanen " Alt blir klart og betydelig". Han hadde som tenåring lekt med tanken om å bli vegetarianer men det var først når han fikk barn at han for alvor stilte seg spørsmålet: Hva betyr det at vi spiser dyr? Er det etisk riktig? Hva er konsekvensene av den vestlige verdens enorme kjøttforbruk? Safran Foer går moderne industrigårdsbruk etter i sømmene og avslører sjokkerende forhold ved svineoppdrett, fiskeoppdrett, slakting av storfe og oppavling av kalkuner for å nevne noe.

Eating Animals

release date: Oct 14, 2009
Eating Animals
Part memoir and part investigative report, Eating Animals is the groundbreaking moral examination of vegetarianism, farming, and the food we eat every day that inspired the documentary of the same name. Bestselling author Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his life oscillating between enthusiastic carnivore and occasional vegetarian. For years he was content to live with uncertainty about his own dietary choices but once he started a family, the moral dimensions of food became increasingly important. Faced with the prospect of being unable to explain why we eat some animals and not others, Foer set out to explore the origins of many eating traditions and the fictions involved with creating them. Traveling to the darkest corners of our dining habits, Foer raises the unspoken question behind every fish we eat, every chicken we fry, and every burger we grill. Part memoir and part investigative report, Eating Animals is a book that, in the words of the Los Angeles Times, places Jonathan Safran Foer "at the table with our greatest philosophers" -and a must-read for anyone who cares about building a more humane and healthy world.

Tout est illuminé
Situé de nos jours, en Ukraine, ce livre raconte les aventures d''un jeune écrivain juif américain - " Jonathan Safran Foer " - en quête de ses origines, et qui sillonne la région à la recherche des vestiges d''un mystérieux village détruit par les Nazis. Mais soudain le récit bascule, et nous voici projetés dans un autre monde : du 18 mars 1791 au 18 mars 1942, c''est la chronique terrible et fabuleuse d''un shtetl appelé Trachimbrod qui se déroule sous nos yeux - un shtetl qui n''est peut-être que la version légendaire du mystérieux village... Peuplé d''enfants trouvés, de rabbins kabbalistes, d''amoureux en proie à la fureur érotique, cet admirable roman s''inscrit dans une tradition où la bouffonnerie est souvent l''ultime expression du sacré. Mais c''est aussi un tour de force littéraire d''une stupéfiante modernité.

Todo está iluminado
Todo está iluminado, su primera obra de ficción, es una novela muy divertida, con una intriga que corta la respiración, honda, trágica, conmovedora. La historia cuenta el viaje de Jonathan Safran Foer, un joven judío de Nueva York, a Ucrania, a donde se dirige para tratar de encontrar los orígenes de su familia y el misterio que envuelve a la figura de su abuelo, que logró escapar milagrosamente de los nazis. Jonathan lleva consigo una fotografía en la que aparece su abuelo junto a una mujer, Augustine, que, al parecer, fue quien salvó a su abuelo de los alemanes. En Ucrania le guiará un joven de su misma edad, Àlex, quien, en compañía de su malhumorado abuelo y de un perro llamado Sammy Davis junior junior, le servirá de dudoso traductor en su particular viaje al fondo de la memoria, el punto de partida de una hermosa y controvertida amistad en la que los dos jóvenes irán desvelando los secretos de sus vidas.
