New Releases by Audrey Niffenegger

Clare kaj Henry renkontas sin la unuan fojon kiam ŝi aĝas ses kaj li - tridek ses. Ĉe la geedziĝo, ŝi tamen estas dudek du jarojn aĝa, dum li - tridek. Tio eblas nur ĉar Henry moviĝas en la tempo malsame ol ni ĉiuj.

Henry DeTamble lider af en sjælden genetisk sygdom, der gør, at han rejser frem og tilbage i tiden uden selv at have kontrol over det. I løbet af sine tidsrejser møder han pigen Clare, hvis liv han igen og igen glider ind og ud af. Clare følger med tiden ligesom alle andre, mens Henrys kaotiske tilstand gør, at han aldrig ved, om den Clare, han støder på, overhovedet har mødt ham endnu. "Den tidsrejsende kvinde" blander på uforlignelig vis den psykologiske roman med science fiction og krydrer det hele med en god portion romantik. Bogen blev en bestseller i Audrey Niffeneggers hjemland, USA, og er sidenhen blevet oversat til en lang række fremmedsprog. Bogen er tidligere filmatiseret og er blevet lavet til serie i 2022. Aubrey Niffenegger (f. 1963) er en amerikansk forfatter, kunstner og akademiker. Hun debuterede som forfatter i 2003 med romanen "Den tidsrejsendes kvinde", som opnåede enorm succes i store dele af verden. Ved siden af arbejdet som forfatter har Audrey Niffenegger en blomstrende akademisk karriere blandt andet som professor på Columbia College i Chicago.

Per quale ragione «L’ho sposato, lettore mio» è una delle frasi più celebri e citate della letteratura inglese? La risposta, tutt’altro che ovvia, risiede nel capolavoro da cui è tratta: Jane Eyre (1847), la storia di un’orfana che, grazie alla sola intelligenza e caparbietà, riesce a convolare a nozze con il nobile signor Rochester. Per affermare il suo successo, e il cambiamento della propria condizione sociale, invece di dichiarare «mi ha sposata, lettore mio» – com’era da aspettarsi nella maschilista società vittoriana – Jane dice: «l’ho sposato, lettore mio». Una sfumatura nella forma verbale che ha lo scopo di rimarcare la coscienza femminile della protagonista, e quella dell’autrice Charlotte Brontë, e che si ergerà a manifesto, ispirazione e stimolo per tutte le scrittrici a venire. Quando Tracy Chevalier ha chiesto alle migliori autrici in lingua inglese di raccontare una storia ispirata a quella celebre battuta, non l’ha fatto solo per festeggiare i duecento anni della nascita di Charlotte Brontë, ma anche per ridare significato a quelle parole, per renderle di nuovo vive e attuali nella società odierna. «In alcuni racconti sono le nozze stesse a essere drammatiche, a causa di una dolorosa scheggia di vetro in Coppia mista di Linda Grant, o di un mutamento improvviso in Il matrimonio di mia madre di Tessa Hadley, o di un rapporto clandestino durante una cerimonia in Zambia, in Uomini doppi di Namwali Serpell, o di un incontro gotico nel fango della brughiera in Tenersi per mano di Joanna Briscoe», dice Chevalier. In altri, come La prima volta che vidi il tuo viso di Emma Donoghue, la frase di Jane Eyre diventa il trampolino di lancio per viaggiare indietro nel tempo, fino alla Germania di fine Ottocento, dove Miss Hall e Mary Benson, la moglie dell’arcivescovo di Canterbury, si macchiano del peccato di un amore saffico. Se in Lo scambio Audrey Niffenegger colloca Jane nel mondo contemporaneo, in un paese dilaniato dalla guerra, la penna originale ed eccentrica di Helen Dunmore si diverte a raccontare Jane Eyre dal punto di vista della governante ingelosita, mentre Tracy Chevalier – con la maestria che l’ha resa una delle scrittrici più lette e amate d’Italia, «in grado di donare il soffio della vita al romanzo storico» (Independent) – dipinge la relazione sentimentale di una coppia male assortita, «come margherite e gladioli, come pizzo e cuoio». Il risultato è una collezione di ventuno storie d’amore, diversissime per sensibilità, scrittura e intenzioni, che ruotano attorno a una medesima eroina dai mille volti: una donna determinata e coraggiosa, che combatte per vincere i pregiudizi e gli ostacoli della società. E che non ha paura di affermare la propria identità dicendo, a testa alta, con un sorriso affaticato ma fiero: io «l’ho sposato, lettore mio». Ventuno storie per celebrare Charlotte Brontë e Jane Eyre Racconti di: Tracy Chevalier, Tessa Hadley, Sarah Hall, Helen Dunmore, Kirsty Gunn, Joanna Briscoe, Jane Gardam, Emma Donoghue, Susan Hill, Francine Prose, Elif Shafak, Evie Wyld, Patricia Park, Salley Vickers, Nadifa Mohamed, Esther Freud, Linda Grant, Lionel Shriver, Audrey Niffenegger, Namwali Serpell, Elizabeth McCracken

Otherworldly, provocative, and strange, Audrey Niffenegger''s art is a vital a part of her vision as her bestselling novels The Time Traveler''s Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry. Awake in the Dream World is a mid-career retrospective of Nifffenegger''s work, reflecting her talent for cultivating a captivating narrative exclusively through pictures and her own confrontations with life, mortality, and magic. Niffenegger''s fantastical body of work is reminiscent of renowned pen and ink predecessors such as Edward Gorey, Aubrey Beardsley, Egon Schiele, Edward Dulac, and Horst Janssen, but with a brutally honest and unapologetically strange female perspective that touches upon the universal trials of life - death and decay, love, jealousy, redemption, and the inevitability of change. Her works on paper, lithographs, and aquatints reflect the often surreal narratives of her artist''s books. Through self-portraiture, Niffenegger reveals her own self-assurance and whimsy alongside anxiety and loneliness, probing darker corners of the human heart and mind, often exploring the hopeless struggle with what Shakespeare called ''this bloody tyrant, Time''. Essays by Audrey Niffenegger, National Museum of Women in the Arts Curator of Book Arts Krystyna Wasserman, and Art Institute of Chicago Curator and School of the Art Institute Professor Mark Pascale explore the artist''s influences and work. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts

De tweelingzusjes Julia en Valentina hebben een abnormaal sterke onderlinge band. Op een dag krijgen ze een brief van een Engelse advocaat. Hun tante Elspeth Noblin, die ze nooit ontmoet hebben, is overleden en laat haar Londense appartement na aan haar nichtjes. Nadat ze van hun verbazing bekomen zijn, besluiten de meisjes deze kans op avontuur te grijpen en te verhuizen naar Elspeths prachtige flat, die uitkijkt op de Highgate begraafplaats in Londen. Ze leren de andere bewoners van het gebouw kennen, onder wie Robert, de minnaar van hun overleden tante Elspeth, die alles over de begraafplaats lijkt te weten. Gaandeweg ontdekken de meisjes dat er nog veel leven is op Highgate. Vooral hun tante lijkt haar aardse leven niet goed achter zich te kunnen laten... Een meeslepende roman over liefde en de kracht van het leven - zelfs na de dood.

La Valentina i la Julia, dues germanes bessones adolescents i inseparables que viuen amb els seus pares als Estats Units, reben una estranya herència d''una tia de la qual només han sentit a parlar però que mai no han arribat a conèixer. Es tracta de l''enigmàtica germana bessona de la seva mare, amb qui fa més de vint anys que no tenen cap mena de contacte.El testament és clar i taxatiu: la Valentina i la Julia heretaran el pis de la tia, situat en un edifici victorià a la vora d''un dels cementiris més antics de Londres, però només si hi van a viure durant un any sencer... i amb una altra condició: que la seva mare no hi fiqui mai els peus.Mortes de curiositat, les dues noies marxen a Londres i s''introdueixen en un univers desconegut on el fantasma de la seva tia sembla que habiti cada racó de la casa, on es diria que les parets amaguen secrets insondables, i els estrafolaris veïns, foscos misteris.Soles, la Valentina i la Julia es deixaran seduir per aquest ambient perillosament romàntic i correran el risc de submergir-se en un món d''on resulta molt difícil tornar a sortir.

Een jonge vrouw trouwt met een man die in perioden van stress naar andere tijden wordt verplaatst.

Elspeth ist zwar tot, der Leichnam liegt auf dem Londoner Highgate-Friedhof, doch ihr Geist bleibt zu Hause. Nach und nach kann sie sich ihrem geliebten Robert und den Zwillingstöchtern ihrer Zwillingsschwester, denen Elspeth ihre Wohnung vererbt hat, mitteilen und deren Leben beeinflussen.

Traditional Chinese edition of Her Fearful Symmetry, a story about the enigma of being twins by Audrey Niffenegger, the author of Time Traveler''s Wife. In Chinese. Distributed by Tsai Fong Books, Inc.

When Elspeth Noblin dies of cancer, she leaves her London apartment to her twin nieces, Julia and Valentina. These two American girls never met their English aunt, only knew that their mother, too, was a twin, and Elspeth her sister. Julia and Valentina are semi-normal American teenagers--with seemingly little interest in college, finding jobs, or anything outside their cozy home in the suburbs of Chicago, and with an abnormally intense attachment to one another. They are twenty. . The girls move to Elspeth''s flat, which borders Highgate Cemetery in London. They come to know the building''s other residents. There is Martin, a brilliant and charming crossword puzzle setter suffering from crippling Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; Marjike, Martin''s devoted but trapped wife; and Robert, Elspeth''s elusive lover, a scholar of the cemetery. As the girls become embroiled in the fraying lives of their aunt''s neighbors, they also discover that much is still alive in Highgate, including--perhaps--their aunt, who can''t seem to leave her old apartment and life behind.. Niffenegger weaves a captivating story in Her Fearful Symmetry about love and identity, about secrets and sisterhood, and about the tenacity of life--even after death..

Four thousand copies of this signed limited Collector''s Edition with a cover painting by the author and special design elements were printed in September 2009. Audrey Niffenegger''s spectacularly compelling second novel opens with a letter that alters the fate of every character. Julia and Valentina Poole are semi-normal American twenty-year-olds with seemingly little interest in college or finding jobs. Their attachment to one another is intense. One morning the mailman delivers a thick envelope to their house in the suburbs of Chicago. From a London solicitor, the enclosed letter informs Valentina and Julia that their English aunt Elspeth Noblin, whom they never knew, has died of cancer and left them her London apartment. There are two conditions to this inher- itance: that they live in it for a year before they sell it and that their parents not enter it. Julia and Valentina are twins. So were the estranged Elspeth and Edie, their mother. The girls move to Elspeth''s flat, which borders the vast and ornate Highgate Cemetery, where Christina Rossetti, George Eliot, Radclyffe Hall, Stella Gibbons and Karl Marx are buried. Julia and Valentina come to know the living residents of their building. There is Martin, a brilliant and charming crossword-puzzle setter suffering from crippling obsessive compulsive disorder; Marijke, Martin''s devoted but trapped wife; and Robert, Elspeth''s elusive lover, a scholar of the cemetery. As the girls become embroiled in the fraying lives of their aunt''s neighbors, they also discover that much is still alive in Highgate, including -- perhaps -- their aunt. Author of one of the most beloved first novels in recent years, Niffenegger returns with an unnerving, unforgettable and enchanting ghost story, a novel about love and identity, secrets and sisterhood and the tenacity of life -- even after death.

Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. His disappearances are spontaneous and his experiences are alternately harrowing and amusing.
