ISBN: 9780814254165 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

The Lost Suitcase: Reflections on the Literary Life
ISBN: 9780231115438 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. We work, each one of us, in the deep dark with no notion of what lasts. With this phrase Nicholas Delbanco reveals one of his urgent concerns: Why does a writer write? How much of his work will seem meaningful to others? In The Lost Suitcase Delbanco ruminates on the life of the writer and the significance of language as art. The title novella, a stunningly crafted story that is the book's centerpiece, takes as its central conceit a famous anecdote about Ernest Hemingway's early work: Hemingway's first wife, Hadley, going by train from their apartment in Paris to visit him in...

Now finally collected into a single volume, the "Sherbrookes" trilogy-"Possession," "Sherbrookes," and "Stillness"-is Nicholas Delbanco's most celebrated achievement. Centering upon one New England clan and their estate in southwestern Vermont-a full thousand acres, including the bleak and chilly Big House, from which the volatile Sherbrookes have such trouble escaping-these books form a virtuoso portrait of the love, pride, resentment, and even madness we inherit from our families. Written in his characteristically opulent, bravura prose, Delbanco is here revealed as a Henry James for our...

Lastingness: The Art of Old Age
ISBN: 9780446199650 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. America grows older yet stays focused on its young. Whatever hill we try to climb, we're "over" it by fifty and should that hill involve entertainment or athletics we're finished long before. But if younger is better, it doesn't appear that youngest is best: we want our teachers, doctors, generals, and presidents to have reached a certain age. In context after context and contest after contest, we're more than a little conflicted about elders of the tribe; when is it right to honor them, and when to say "step aside"?
In LASTINGNESS, Nicholas Delbanco, one of America's most celebrated men... America grows older yet stays focused on its young. Whatever hill we try to climb, we're "over" it by fifty and should that hill involve entertainment...
