Mistrzowie. Spotkania z twórcami
ISBN: 9788378664000 / Polski / broszurowa / 2021 / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Bardzo jestem do tej książki przywiązany, często do niej wracam. Philip Roth, klasyk amerykańskiej literatury, w dialogu z pisarzami i malarzem, których dzieło i postawa były dla niego inspiracją. Ten wielki powieściopisarz potrafił zaangażować się na rzecz innych twórców, pokazać ich magię, geniusz ich dzieła. Imponuje mi postawa Rotha, altruizm i szacunek artysty, wręcz podziw, dla innych artystów. Jakie to dziś wyjątkowe w narcystycznym świecie sztuki, jak piękne! Książka Rotha to opowieść o pokrewieństwie dusz, wdzięczności i poczuciu wspólnej misji. Jej...

It is 1998, the year in which America is whipped into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of a president, and in a small New England town, an aging classics professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues decree that he is a racist.

Philip Roth: Novels 1993-1995 (LOA #205): Operation Shylock / Sabbath's Theater
ISBN: 9781598530780 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 842 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. The Library of America's definitive edition of Philip Roth's collected works continues with two novels that heralded the beginning of a more than decade-long creative explosion-one remarkable in an older writer and hailed by critics as unparalleled in American literary history. In the diabolically imaginative Operation Shylock (1993), a character named Philip Roth encounters a look-alike who claims Roth's identity and who tours Israel promoting a bizarre reverse exodus of the Jews-proselytizing the "real" Roth is intent on stopping, even if it means impersonating his impersonator.
