Traducere și note de Mihaela Dumitrescu O viziune nuanțată și empatică asupra vulnerabilității umane face ca povestea imaginată de Anthony Marra să capete suflul vieții reale, să emoționeze și să capteze atenția cititorului de la prima la ultima pagină. Într-un carusel de emoții, cu imagini fulgurante și puncte de reflecție strecurate cu umor, ironie, sarcasm sau tristețe, redescoperim arta cinematografică în contextul propagandei de război și lupta continuă pentru succesul de pe marile ecrane în vreme ce, în prim-plan, reflectorul se oprește asupra unor protagoniști de neînvins în confruntarea pe care o au de dus cu fantoma vinovăției și propriul trecut. O traumă din copilăria petrecută în Italia lui Mussolini, în atmosfera de teroare instituită de raidurile Cămășilor Negre, dublată de sentimentul de culpabilitate pentru un gest imatur care a condus la condamnarea tatălui disident într-o colonie de confino din Calabria și, în final, la destrămarea familiei, tulbură cursul firesc al vieții Mariei Lagana. Povara trecutului o urmărește și în exilul de peste ocean, la Los Angeles, unde, cu multă tenacitate, reușește să își contruiască o carieră în lumea hollywoodiană a bărbaților și a jocurilor de putere, la studioul cinematografic Mercury Pictures International, punct de convergență și loc de refugiu pentru un grup eterogen de imigranți europeni.

La storia comincia domani
AMBIENTATA TRA L''ITALIA FASCISTA E LA HOLLYWOOD ANNI QUARANTA, UNA STORIA POTENTE DI CORAGGIO, AMORE, SACRIFICIO. «Un libro sublime, che ha una rilevanza particolare per i tempi che stiamo vivendo.» THE NEW YORK TIMES Come molti prima di lei, Maria Lagana è arrivata a Hollywood per sfuggire al suo passato. Nata in Italia, Maria è emigrata con la madre a Los Angeles all''età di dodici anni, quando suo padre è finito al confino in un paese sperduto dell''entroterra calabrese. Noto avvocato romano, Giuseppe Lagana era solito difendere socialisti e altre figure invise al regime fascista, fino al giorno in cui la scoperta di alcuni documenti compromettenti gli è costata l''arresto e l''esilio. Nel 1941, alla vigilia dell''ingresso in guerra degli Stati Uniti, Maria è diventata produttrice associata alla Mercury Pictures, una casa cinematografica sull''orlo della bancarotta, alle prese con le maglie sempre più strette della censura. Maria è abilissima ad aggirarla: per anni lei e il padre hanno intrattenuto una fitta corrispondenza, ricorrendo ad allusioni e doppi sensi per evitare i tagli che i censori fascisti infliggevano alle loro lettere. Tuttavia, dal 1938, Maria non ne ha più ricevuta nessuna. Nell''ultima, una frase importante era scampata alla lama della censura: «Ci vediamo presto». Ma Giuseppe Lagana non è mai arrivato in America. Mentre la notte della Storia scende anche su Los Angeles, il cinema diventa un microcosmo di esuli dall''Europa: poeti modernisti che tentano la fortuna come sceneggiatori di b-movies, architetti famosi che si adattano a fare i miniaturisti, attori ebrei che si ritrovano a vestire i panni dei loro ex aguzzini. Finché tra loro spunta un giovane fotografo italiano nel cui volto Maria scorge un vago ricordo del passato. Porta con sé un nome falso, una scatola piena di ritagli di carta e, forse, la risposta che Maria anela e teme più di ogni altra cosa: la verità sul destino di suo padre. Scritto con la poesia di una storia intima e il vigore di un grande affresco, La storia comincia domani è il romanzo di una famiglia spezzata e l''epopea di un''umanità alla deriva: naufraghi della vita che sognano l''America come unico approdo possibile dopo la fuga dall''orrore nazifascista in Europa. Un romanzo che cattura il cuore e interroga la coscienza, opera di un giovane talento la cui scrittura è stata definita dal Washington Post «un lampo nel cielo che ti fa alzare lo sguardo e credere nei miracoli».

Τέλη της δεκαετίας του ''20, η Μαρία Λαγκάνα και η μητέρα της καταφθάνουν στις ΗΠΑ, πρόσφυγες από τη φασιστική Ιταλία του Μουσολίνι. Χρόνια αργότερα, ενώ η αμερικανική κοινωνία διχάζεται για το αν πρέπει ή όχι οι ΗΠΑ να εμπλακούν στον ευρωπαϊκό πόλεμο, βρίσκουμε τη Μαρία επικεφαλής παραγωγό σ’ ένα «μεσαίο» στούντιο του Χόλιγουντ που, προ του κινδύνου να χρεοκοπήσει, αναγκάζεται να συνεργαστεί με την κυβέρνηση στην παραγωγή ταινιών πολεμικής προπαγάνδας. Κι ενώ η Μαρία προσπαθεί να στερεώσει το παρόν της και να θεμελιώσει το μέλλον της ανάμεσα σε δεκάδες άλλους ευρωπαίους καλλιτέχνες που κι αυτοί αναζήτησαν καλύτερη τύχη στη Γη των (ψευδαισθητικών) Επαγγελιών, το Χόλιγουντ, μια αναπάντεχη άφιξη από την πατρίδα της την αναγκάζει να εξυγιάνει το παρελθόν της, επανεξετάζοντας τη σχέση της με τους γονείς της, τη ζωή και τον κόσμο. Μια διαχρονική ιστορία αγάπης, ψευδαισθήσεων, ενοχών και θυσίας, τοποθετημένη στη «χρυσή» μεταπολεμική εποχή της μεγαλύτερης κινηματογραφικής βιομηχανίας του πλανήτη.

Mercury Pictures Presents

Mercury Pictures Presents
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Winner of the David J. Langum, Sr. Prize in American Historical Fiction • The epic tale of a brilliant woman who must reinvent herself to survive, moving from Mussolini’s Italy to 1940s Los Angeles—a timeless story of love, deceit, and sacrifice from the award-winning author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena “A genuinely moving and life-affirming novel that’s a true joy to read.”—Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere “A gorgeous book . . . sublime.”—The New York Times (Editors’ Choice) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Guardian, Booklist Like many before her, Maria Lagana has come to Hollywood to outrun her past. Born in Rome, where every Sunday her father took her to the cinema instead of church, Maria immigrates with her mother to Los Angeles after a childhood transgression leads to her father’s arrest. Fifteen years later, on the eve of America’s entry into World War II, Maria is an associate producer at Mercury Pictures, trying to keep her personal and professional lives from falling apart. Her mother won’t speak to her. Her boss, a man of many toupees, has been summoned to Washington by congressional investigators. Her boyfriend, a virtuoso Chinese American actor, can’t escape the studio’s narrow typecasting. And the studio itself, Maria’s only home in exile, teeters on the verge of bankruptcy. Over the coming months, as the bright lights go dark across Los Angeles, Mercury Pictures becomes a nexus of European émigrés: modernist poets trying their luck as B-movie screenwriters, once-celebrated architects becoming scale-model miniaturists, and refugee actors finding work playing the very villains they fled. While the world descends into war, Maria rises through a maze of conflicting politics, divided loyalties, and jockeying ambitions. But when the arrival of a stranger from her father’s past threatens Maria’s carefully constructed facade, she must finally confront her father’s fate—and her own. Written with intelligence, wit, and an exhilarating sense of possibility, Mercury Pictures Presents spans many moods and tones, from the heartbreaking to the ecstatic. It is a love letter to life’s bit players, a panorama of an era that casts a long shadow over our own, and a tour de force by a novelist whose work The Washington Post calls “a flash in the heavens that makes you look up and believe in miracles.”

Una constelación de fenómenos vitales
En un pequeño pueblo de Chechenia, Havaa, de ocho años, observa desde el bosque cómo los soldados rusos secuestran a su padre en mitad de la noche y después prenden fuego a su casa. Cuando Akhmed, su vecino de toda la vida, encuentra a Havaa escondida entre los árboles con una extraña maleta azul, toma una decisión que cambiará sus vidas para siempre. Buscará refugio en el hospital semiabandonado de la ciudad vecina, donde la única doctora que queda, Sonja Rabina, trata a los heridos. Para Sonja, la llegada de Akhmed y Havaa es una desagradable sorpresa. Agotada y sobrecargada, no tiene ningún interés en asumir nuevos riesgos ni responsabilidades. Pero en el transcurso de cinco días extraordinarios, el mundo de Sonja se desplazará de su eje y revelará la intrincada red de conexiones que entrelaza los pasados de estos tres dispares compañeros y, de manera inesperada, decide su destino. Una historia profunda y reveladora sobre el poder trascendente del amor en tiempos de guerra.

El zar del amor y el tecno
Este impactante y exquisito tour de force, a medio camino entre novela coral y colección de relatos, se extiende a través de un siglo, un continente y un reparto de personajes extraordinarios cuyas vidas se entrecruzan de manera en ocasiones cómica y desgarradora. Un censor soviético de los años treinta corrige meticulosamente fotografías oficiales en los búnkeres de Leningrado, perseguido por la imagen de una prima ballerina caída en desgracia. Un coro de mujeres cuenta sus historias y las de sus abuelas, antiguas prisioneras de un gulag, que fundaron su propio pueblo en Siberia. Dos hermanos comparten un amor feroz y protector en pleno derrumbamiento de la URSS; y un mercenario es hecho prisionero en un pozo de Chechenia junto con una casete de mezclas que podría contener el último mensaje de su familia. Con una prosa deslumbrante, un finísimo sentido del humor, ricos retratos de personajes y un sentido de la Historia que encuentra ecos en el presente, El zar del amor y el tecno es una obra cautivadora de uno de los mejores nuevos talentos americanos.

Trilha sonora para o fim dos tempos
Livro de contos revela talento de Anthony Marra, eleito pela revista Granta um dos mais promissores autores norte-americanos da década. Nesta coletânea, Marra apresenta uma série de personagens inesquecíveis, cujas vidas se entrelaçam de maneira comovente, imprevisível e incontornável. Nos anos 1930, um artista de Leningrado trabalha para o governo de Stálin como censor, apagando em pinturas e fotografias os traidores do regime soviético. Entre os rostos que ele elimina, está o do próprio irmão, condenado à morte. Nos dias de hoje, uma historiadora de arte dedica-se a estudar o mistério que se esconde na obra desse censor rebelde, cujos segredos atravessam décadas e fronteiras e confundem-se com a história da Rússia. Essas e outras trajetórias — como as de uma bailarina e seus descendentes, espiões poloneses, mendigos, uma beldade siberiana e até de um lobo — são unidas por sentimentos de nostalgia, injustiça e desolação retratados com vitalidade em Trilha sonora para o fim dos tempos, a coletânea de contos que consolida Anthony Marra como um dos autores americanos mais promissores do momento.

Ο τσάρος της αγάπης και της τέκνο

Ο τσάρος της αγάπης και της τέκνο
Η εξαιρετικά καλογραμμένη συλλογή διηγημάτων του Anthony Marra, σκιαγραφεί μια πλειάδα αξέχαστων χαρακτήρων των οποίων οι ζωές διασταυρώνονται μεταξύ τους με τρόπο σπαραχτικό. Την δεκαετία του 1930 στο Λένινγκραντ, ένας ζωγράφος-διορθωτής επεξεργάζεται επίμαχες φωτογραφίες για λογαριασμό του Κόμματος του Στάλιν, σβήνοντας και αλλοιώνοντας πρόσωπα με τον αερογράφο του. Μαγεμένος από την εικόνα μιας μπαλαρίνας, βρίσκεται κατηγορούμενος για σχέση με την πολωνική κατασκοπεία. Μια ομάδα γυναικών αφηγείται τις ιστορίες της αλλά και αυτές των γιαγιάδων τους, πρώην κρατουμένων της Γκουλάγκ, που εγκαταστάθηκαν σε πόλη ορυχείων της Σιβηρίας. Δύο ζεύγη αδερφών μοιράζονται μια άγρια, προστατευτική αγάπη. Νεαροί άνδρες σε ολόκληρη τη πρώην Σοβιετική Ένωση αντιμετωπίζουν τη βία στο σπίτι και στο στρατόπεδο. Μεγάλες θυσίες γίνονται και στο όνομα ενός πετρελαιοειδούς τοπίου, το οποίο είναι συνηθισμένο εκτός από το σχεδόν ακατανόητο ειρηνικό παρελθόν που απεικονίζει. Ο Τσάρος της αγάπης και της τέκνο, με εκπληκτική πρόζα μιλά για τη ματαιότητα της προσπάθειας να εξαλειφθούν άνθρωποι και γεγονότα, για την ανθρώπινη προσαρμοστικότητα, το παράλογο της ζωής και του πολέμου, αλλά και το πόσο μικρή είναι η ζωή μας σε σχέση με το μέγεθος του σύμπαντος.

De tsaar van liefde en techno
In de jaren dertig krijgt een mislukte kunstenaar in de Sovjet- Unie het bevel om politieke dissidenten te verwijderen uit officiële foto''s en kunstwerken, te beginnen met zijn eigen, in ongenade gevallen broer. Wanneer er een betoverende afbeelding van een datsja op zijn bureau belandt, begint de kunstenaar portretten van zijn broer toe te voegen aan de illustraties die hij hoort te censureren. Dit subversieve besluit echoot door in de daaropvolgende decennia en brengt de verhalen samen van een legendarische ballerina en haar kleindochter, een blinde kunstrestaurator, een gepensioneerde gangster, een weduwnaar die zijn vrouw voor het laatst zag in die datsja en een soldaat die gevangenzit in een put, met als enige bezit een cassettebandje dat een laatste boodschap van zijn familie bevat.

Letztes Lied einer vergangenen Welt

Letztes Lied einer vergangenen Welt
Keiner versteht es so wie Roman Markin, Menschen einfach verschwinden zu lassen. Wer im Leningrad der 1930er-Jahre staatlich liquidiert wird, dessen Foto landet auf dem Tisch des Retuscheurs. Nicht ein einziges Bild soll bezeugen, dass diese Person je existiert hat. Doch eines Tages will Roman nicht dem Vergessen dienen, sondern sich erinnern: an seinen Bruder – und bringt sich damit in große Gefahr ... Anthony Marra erzählt von Menschen zu ganz unterschiedlichen Zeiten: von der Primaballerina, die im Gulag Schwanensee tanzen muss; von ihrer Enkelin Galina, die sich an das Einzige klammert, was ihr von ihrer Jugendliebe bleibt: ein Gemälde des idyllischen Ortes, an dem er starb; von Kolya und seinem Bruder, die sich in der Trostlosigkeit einer sibirischen Bergbaustadt an den einzigen Traum klammern, der ihnen bleibt: die Weite des Weltalls, im Ohr die Nussknacker-Suite. Wie kann man Menschen erinnern? Und woran sich halten, wenn alles verloren ist? Anthony Marra schreibt von dort, wo nichts geblieben ist außer Ruinen und Erinnerungen. Von dem, was uns auseinanderreißt, und dem Kitt, der uns alle zusammenhält – der Hoffnung auf Erlösung. Geschichten von berückender Schönheit, die zusammen so episch und ergreifend sind wie ein Roman.

The Tsar of Love and Techno

The Tsar of Love and Techno
From the New York Times bestselling author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena—dazzling, poignant, and lyrical interwoven stories about family, sacrifice, the legacy of war, and the redemptive power of art. This stunning, exquisitely written collection introduces a cast of remarkable characters whose lives intersect in ways both life-affirming and heartbreaking. A 1930s Soviet censor painstakingly corrects offending photographs, deep underneath Leningrad, bewitched by the image of a disgraced prima ballerina. A chorus of women recount their stories and those of their grandmothers, former gulag prisoners who settled their Siberian mining town. Two pairs of brothers share a fierce, protective love. Young men across the former USSR face violence at home and in the military. And great sacrifices are made in the name of an oil landscape unremarkable except for the almost incomprehensibly peaceful past it depicts. In stunning prose, with rich character portraits and a sense of history reverberating into the present, The Tsar of Love and Techno is a captivating work from one of our greatest new talents.

Une constellation de phénomènes vitaux
Dans un village enneigé de Tchétchénie, Havaa, une fillette de huit ans, regarde, cachée dans les bois, les soldats russes emmener en pleine nuit son père, accusé d’aider les rebelles. De l’autre côte de la rue, Akhmed, son voisin et ami de sa famille, observe lui aussi la scène, craignant le pire pour l’enfant quand les soldats mettent le feu à la maison. Mais quand il trouve Havaa tapie dans la forêt avec une étrange valise bleue, il prend une décision qui va bouleverser leur vie. Il va chercher refuge dans un hôpital abandonné où il ne reste qu’une femme pour soigner les blessés, Sonja Rabina. Pour Sonja, chirurgienne russe talentueuse et implacable, l’arrivée d’Akhmed et de Havaa est une mauvaise surprise. Exténuée, débordée de travail, elle n’a aucune envie de s’ajouter ce risque et cette charge. Car elle a une bonne raison de se montrer prudente : accueillir ces réfugiés pourrait compromettre le retour de sa sœur disparue. Pourtant, au cours de cinq jours extraordinaires, le monde de Sonja va basculer et révéler l’entrelacs de connexions qui lie le passé de ces trois compagnons improbables et décidera de leur destin.À la fois récit d’un sacrifice et exploration du pouvoir de l’amour en temps de guerre, Une constellation de phénomènes vitaux est surtout une œuvre portée par le souffle profond de la compassion, vers ce qui doit être et ce qui demeure. Traduit de l’anglais par Dominique Defert

Uma constelação de fenômenos vitais
Em uma vila na Chechênia, Havaa, de 8 anos, observa seu pai ser levado no meio da noite por soldados russos que o acusam de colaborar com rebeldes chechenos. Do outro lado da rua, Akhmed, um amigo da família, vê a cena e teme pelo pior quando os soldados ateiam fogo à casa da menina. Ao encontrar Havaa escondida na floresta, Akhmed decide buscar refúgio num hospital abandonado onde a única médica remanescente, Sonja, trata os feridos — uma decisão que irá mudar a vida dos três para sempre. Para a talentosa e determinada Sonja, a chegada de Akhmed e Havaa não passa de uma surpresa inoportuna. Exausta e sobrecarregada, ela não deseja assumir ainda mais responsabilidades nem correr mais riscos. E há uma razão para sua cautela: abrigar aqueles refugiados pode ameaçar a busca por sua irmã desaparecida. Em cinco dias, porém, o mundo de Sonja será virado de cabeça para baixo e as complexas conexões entre esses companheiros improváveis serão reveladas. Ao retratar o poder transcendente do amor em meio à guerra, Anthony Marra construiu um romance comovente sobre amizade, perda e os laços inesperados que as pessoas são capazes de construir. Uma constelação de fenômenos vitais foi best-seller do The New York Times e do The Washington Post. “Uma história profunda, que ousa ser tão delicada quanto assustadora. Leitura obrigatória.” The Washington Post “Uma reflexão sobre o passado recente e uma investigação sobre até que ponto lembrar é sobreviver.” The New York Times “Anthony Marra escolheu um dos momentos mais terríveis da história recente e o transformou em uma obra poderosa.” The Boston Globe
