Si me necesitas, llámame

release date: Jul 26, 2023
Si me necesitas, llámame
Con sus relatos construidos palabra a palabra, intensos como un poema, Raymond Carver, fallecido en 1988, había ya ingresado en ese parnaso donde la obra de un escritor está completa, y no tendrá otra modificación que las introducidas por las diferentes lecturas que de ella se hagan en el curso del tiempo. Al parecer, todo lo que importaba había sido ya publicado. Pero ahora, años después de su muerte, Tess Gallagher, la viuda de Carver, escritora y poeta, ha encontrado y editado cinco relatos que, como afirma Publishers Weekly, serán para la legión de admiradores del escritor «como un alijo de diamantes descubiertos en una mina abandonada». Relatos espléndidos, precisos, estremecedores, que transcurren en el carveriano territorio del noroeste americano, con hombres que han dejado de beber y están en la línea divisoria entre dos vidas, con parejas que ya no se aman y empiezan a mirarse como extraños, con un escritor que ha abandonado a su mujer, ha alquilado una habitación y está intentando empezar a escribir otra vez, a partir de «ese vacío que es el comienzo de todas las cosas».

Tutte le poesie

Tutte le poesie
In un unico, prestigioso cofanetto, una raccolta che include tutte le poesie di Raymond Carver con testo originale a fronte. Un''occasione per celebrare un grande scrittore che, in prosa e in versi, ha saputo raccontare con verità, economia di stile e profondità di sguardo il mondo degli ultimi, dei reietti, dei senza riscatto. «E hai ottenuto quello che / volevi da questa vita, nonostante tutto? / Sì. / E cos''è che volevi? / Potermi dire amato, sentirmi / amato sulla terra». Con questo frammento poetico, nel 1988, Raymond Carver prendeva congedo dal mondo. E i versi, insieme alla prosa cristallina dei suoi racconti, ai saggi, ai ricordi personali, hanno costituito fin dagli esordi la sua cifra, scandendo una ricerca letteraria che nella brevità, nella sintesi, nella sottrazione, nelle minute epifanie del quotidiano ha trovato la sua chiave. Nei due volumi di questo cofanetto è presente la sua intera opera poetica. Un''occasione unica per imparare a conoscere, anche al di là delle tre raccolte che lo hanno reso celebre, le tante forme diverse che Carver ha utilizzato per raccontare se stesso, il suo mondo, i personaggi stralunati e sconfitti che lo popolano. Con un''introduzione di Tess Gallagher e un''intervista inedita.

de Que Hablamos Cuando Hablamos de Amor

de Que Hablamos Cuando Hablamos de Amor
"Los deslumbrados lectores de "Catedral", primer libro publicado en Espaäna de Carver, reencontrarâan en "De quâe hablamos cuando hablamos de amor" la atmâosfera y los personajes de un autor que dominâo indiscutiblemente el panorama literario norteamericano de los aänos 80. Parejas que se despedazan, compaäneros que parten desesperadamente a la aventura, hijos que intentan comunicarse con sus padres, un universo injusto, violento, tenso, a veces irrisorio... En palabras de Roberto Fernâandez Sastre, Carver (S0 (Bno designa lo intolerable, sino que lo nombra. Sin concesiones hacia nada ni hacia nadie, rescata lo real en su esencialidad amorfa y brutal (S1 (B." --

Todos nosotros

Todos nosotros
La obra poética de Raymond Carver reunida en un volumen. El complemento imprescindible a sus cuentos. En poco más de diez años de intenso trabajo literario, los que van desde que dejó atrás el alcoholismo hasta su temprana muerte, Raymond Carver forjó una obra de primerísima magnitud. Sus cuentos fueron celebrados internacionalmente y le valieron el calificativo de «Chéjov americano», pero, en paralelo a esa carrera como narrador, a lo largo de los años ochenta del pasado siglo también fue escribiendo varios poemarios. De hecho, él mismo dijo: «Empecé como poeta. Lo primero que publiqué fue un poema. De modo que supongo que me gustaría que en mi lápida pusiese “Poeta, cuentista y ocasional ensayista”, en ese orden.» Y es que los poemarios de Carver aquí reunidos –cinco libros, tres publicados en vida, uno póstumo y un quinto que reunía sus inéditos– permiten constatar que su poesía no fue ni mucho menos un ejercicio menor, un capricho, una producción subsidiaria o marginal. Sus versos forman parte sustancial de su corpus literario, y no solo ayudan a construir un retrato completo de quien los escribió, sino que son un complemento imprescindible para cualquier lector de sus cuentos. Los más de trescientos poemas de este volumen –que incorpora un emotivo prólogo de su viuda, la escritora Tess Gallagher– están arraigados a la vida, a lo cotidiano, y demuestran que Carver no fue solo un narrador superdotado, sino también un poeta profundo y emocionante, que sabía explorar los instantes de felicidad o desolación, las flaquezas y la dignidad de los seres humanos, las escurridizas epifanías que asoman en las vidas más anodinas. Sus versos atrapan la intimidad sin pompa ni excesos retóricos, y muestran una empática capacidad de comprensión hacia sus semejantes que lo conecta con su amado Chéjov.

Voi non sapete che cos'è l'amore

release date: Jan 23, 2017
Voi non sapete che cos'è l'amore
Nel 1984, all''indomani del successo di Cattedrale, Raymond Carver volle riunire in questa raccolta saggi, poesie e racconti perlopiù inediti. Proprio la sua varietà fa di questo libro (che prende il nome da una lunga poesia dedicata a Charles Bukowski) un grandangolo sull''intera produzione carveriana, attraversata da fittissime corrispondenze e da un''esemplare coerenza di toni, idee, intenti. «Carver è lo scrittore che più di ogni altro ha influenzato la letteratura di lingua inglese degli ultimi vent''anni. Le sue cadenze si ritrovano ovunque, e così le sue ambientazioni, i suoi personaggi», scrive Rick Moody. «Ma l''aspetto più sorprendente e rivoluzionario di questo libro è sicuramente l''eredità che ci lascia in termini di compassione: dopo aver letto Carver diventa pressoché impossibile, per uno scrittore, sottrarsi alla responsabilità della compassione nei confronti dei propri personaggi. È una rivoluzione per la quale dovremmo tutti essergli grati. Così come gli siamo grati per il puro piacere che ci viene dalla lettura di queste pagine».

Call If You Need Me

release date: May 25, 2015
Call If You Need Me
The complete uncollected fiction and nonfiction, including the five posthumously discovered “last” stories, published here in book form for the first time—from “one of the great short story writers of our time—of any time” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Call If You Need Me includes all of the prose previously collected in No Heroics, Please, four essays from Fires, and those five marvelous stories that range over the period of Carver’s mature writing and give his devoted readers a final glimpse of the great writer at work.

All of Us

release date: May 25, 2015
All of Us
A rich collection of poems from not only “one of the great short story writers of our time” (The Philadelphia Inquirer), but one of America’s most large-hearted and affecting poets. Like Raymond Carver’s stories, the more than 300 poems in All of Us are marked by a keen attention to the physical world; an uncanny ability to compress vast feeling into discreet moments; a voice of conversational intimacy, and an unstinting sympathy. This complete edition brings together all the poems of Carver’s five previous books, from Fires to the posthumously published No Heroics, Please. It also contains bibliographical and textual notes on individual poems; a chronology of Carver’s life and work; and a moving introduction by Carver’s widow, the poet Tess Gallagher.

Where Water Comes Together with Other Water

release date: May 25, 2015
Where Water Comes Together with Other Water
Winner of Poetry Magazine’s Levinson Prize • An illuminating collection of poems from the middle of Carver''s career that “function as distilled, heightened versions of his stories, offering us fugitive glimpses of ordinary lives on the edge” (The New York Times). "The stories poems tell are so wonderfully self-contained, so self-evident, so gracefully metaphorical." —The Village Voice "There is a severity of language, an understatement of emotion, that endows the poems of his first major collection with the feel of extraordinary experience. To read them is to have the sense this man has lived more than most of us. We trust him because of the plainly conversational diction and the lapel-grabbing rhythms.... They are very moving, very memorable." —Poetry

Fires

release date: May 25, 2015
Fires
From “one of the great short story writers of our time—of any time” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)—comes more than sixty stories, poems, and essays, including two early versions from the seminal collection, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.

Where I'm Calling From
The final story collection from “one of the great short story writers of our time” (The Philadelphia Inquirer) features classic stories from Cathedral, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, and earlier volumes. • “Among the masterpieces of American fiction." —The New York Times Book Review By the time of his early death in 1988, Raymond Carver had established himself as one of the great practitioners of the American short story, a writer who had not only found his own voice but imprinted it in the imaginations of thousands of readers. Where I’m Calling From, his last collection, includes seven new works previously unpublished in book form. Together, these 37 stories give us a superb overview of Carver’s life work and show us why he was so widely imitated but never equaled.

Short Cuts

release date: May 25, 2015
Short Cuts
From “one of the great short story writers of our time” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)—nine stories and a poem that offer a searing portrait of American innocence and loss—and formed the basis for the film “Short Cuts” directed by Robert Altman.

Features stories from the collections Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?, Where I’m Calling From, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, and A New Path to the Waterfall; including an introduction by Robert Altman.

In this eShort, readers can compare both versions of this iconic work of fiction, gaining insight into Carver’s aesthetic and the foundations of the contemporary American short story.

What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (Mandarin Edition)

What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (Mandarin Edition)
《当我们谈论爱情时我们在谈论什么》 In his second collection of stories, as in his first, Carver''s characters are peripheral people--people without education, insight or prospects, people too unimaginative to even give up. Carver celebrates these men and women. 《当我们谈论爱情时我们在谈论什么》是雷蒙德·卡佛优秀的短篇小说集,由17篇短篇小说组成。讲述了如餐馆女招待、锯木厂工人、修车工、推销员和汽车旅馆管理员等社会底层的体力劳动者的生活。这些普通人有着普通人的愿望,做着再普通不过的事情,但他们发现自己在为生存而挣扎,无法达到在常人看来并不远大的人生目标。他们的生活中充满了窘困和不如意,婚姻破裂,失业,酗酒,破产。卡佛用“极简”的遣词、冷静疏离的叙事,表现了现代社会中人的边缘性以及现代人脆弱的自我意识。本书的出版,为美国短篇小说写作注入了新的生命,并为卡佛赢得了“美国的契诃夫”的称号,使他成为美国继海明威之后受到模仿最多的作家。

All Of Us (Mandarin Edition)

release date: Feb 25, 2014
All Of Us (Mandarin Edition)
《我们所有人:雷蒙德·卡佛诗全集》 This complete edition brings together all the poems of Carver''s five previous books, from Fires to the posthumously published No Heroics, Please. It also contains bibliographical and textual notes on individual poems; a chronology of Carver''s life and work; and a moving introduction by Carver''s widow, the poet Tess Gallagher. 本书涵盖了雷蒙德·卡佛一生创作的所有诗歌作品,文学价值尤为珍贵。卡佛诗歌具有其小说所有的美德:对于物质世界的深切关注,将广阔情感压缩在朴素瞬间的非凡能力,以及谈话式的亲切的诗歌声音。同时,他亦创造了一种奇妙的卡佛式的诗歌语调:柔软而克制,朴素而深邃,微妙地掌握着语言的尺度与抒情的适度。这种迷人的气息,像一层薄雾,淡淡地笼罩在卡佛的每一行文字中。卡佛的爱和感伤都隐藏在这种柔软的冷叙述里。

Tais-toi, je t'en prie
Ici comme ailleurs, des silhouettes usées s''échouent dans des dîners et parlent du temps qui passe, de la vie comme elle va, toujours un peu bancale et de guingois. Ici comme ailleurs, les changements sont remis à demain, on se contente de petits mieux faute d''aller bien. Ici comme ailleurs, les rêves se dissolvent et les espoirs disparaissent dans les volutes d''une énième cigarette.

Principiants

release date: May 01, 2010
Principiants
Principiants és la versió original del recull de relats més famós que va escriure Raymond Carver -De què parlem quan parlem de l''amor- abans que Gordon Lish, el seu editor i mentor, la modifiqués de manera substancial per publicar-lo el 1981. Amb el temps, el text que va veure la llum esdevindria una de les obres que més han influenciat en la literatura moderna.Carver es preocupa per reflectir l''essència de les coses. Una joveneta balla amb el nòvio al jardí d''una casa, entre les despulles materials de la vida del propietari; un home de mitjana edat percep els primers indicis dels perills de la vida adulta, i sent com l''envaeix una "felicitat insuportable"; una parella que viu i treballa en un motel s''adona, amb gran dolor, que la seva relació s''ha esgotat. A mesura que ens movem a través de les petites i múltiples tragèdies inscrites en el cor d''allò més normal i corrent, prenem consciència de nous significats i matisos. Principiants és una profunda i fascinant incursió dins de l''estètica d''un dels autors contemporanis més influents del segle XX.«L''autèntic Carver que veiem ara és molt més tendre, menys cru que el Carver de Lish. L''autèntic Carver dóna peu a digressions i històries secundàries. L''autèntic Carver no és carverià». Blake Morrison

release date: Jul 01, 1997
¿Quieres hacer el favor de callarte, por favor?
Los dramas aparentemente más triviales, las catástrofes silenciosas de la gente común. En ¿Quieres hacer el favor de callarte, por favor?, su primer libro de relatos, que escribió y reescribió a lo largo de quince años y que le supuso la consagración inmediata, Raymond Carver renovó la forma del relato breve hasta darle proporciones de haiku y sin que este uso radical de la elipsis le haga perder ninguna fuerza. Todo lo contrario, los relatos de Carver poseen, quizá precisamente por su mismo carácter fragmentario, una inesperada capacidad de provocar una impresión fortísima, una indeleble conmoción. Los dramas aparentemente más triviales, las catástrofes silenciosas de la gente más común: tal es el territorio en el que se mueven siempre los inquietantes relatos de Carver.
