Maurice: A Novel

Lie with Me

Philippe Besson • 2019

The award-winning, bestselling French novel by Philippe Besson--"the French Brokeback Mountain" (Elle)--about an affair between two teenage boys in 1984 France, translated with subtle beauty and haunting lyricism by the iconic and internationally acclaimed actress/writer Molly Ringwald. We drive at high speed along back roads, through woods, vineyards, and oat fields. The bike smells like gasoline and makes a lot of noise, and sometimes I'm frightened when the wheels slip on the gravel on the dirt road, but the only thing that matters is that I'm holding on to him, that I'm holding on to him outside. Just outside a hotel in Bordeaux, Philippe chances upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back at the relationship he's never forgotten, a hidden affair with a gorgeous boy named Thomas during their last year of high school. Without ever acknowledging they know each other in the halls, they steal time to meet in secret, carrying on a passionate, world-altering affair. Dazzlingly rendered in English by Ringwald in her first-ever translation, Besson's powerfully moving coming-of-age story captures the eroticism and tenderness of first love--and the heartbreaking passage of time.

Norwegian Wood. Tokyo Blues

Murakami Haruki • 2012

<p>Murakami Haruki in uniform edition Super ET, con le copertine di Noma Bar. *** Uno dei piú clamorosi successi letterari giapponesi di tutti i tempi è anche il libro piú intimo, introspettivo di Murakami, che qui si stacca dalle atmosfere oniriche e surreali che lo hanno reso famoso, per esplorare il mondo in ombra dei sentimenti e della solitudine. Norwegian Wood è anche un grande romanzo sull'adolescenza, sul conflitto tra il desiderio di essere integrati nel mondo degli «altri» per entrare vittoriosi nella vita adulta e il bisogno irrinunciabile di essere se stessi, costi quel costi. Come il giovane Holden, Toru è continuamente assalito dal dubbio di aver sbagliato o poter sbagliare nelle sue scelte di vita e di amore, ma è anche guidato da un ostinato e personale senso della morale e da un'istintiva avversione per tutto ciò che sa di finto e costruito. Diviso tra due ragazze, Naoko e Midori, che lo attirano entrambe con forza irresistibile, Toru non può fare altro che decidere. O aspettare che la vita (e la morte) decidano per lui.<br></p>
