Vom Autor des Bestsellers »Alles Licht, das wir nicht sehen«. Die sechs Stories dieses Bandes, angesiedelt auf drei verschiedenen Kontinenten, handeln von Erinnerung und Liebe. In jedem Augenblick, sagt Anthony Doerr, verschwinden überall auf der Welt unzählige Erinnerungen, dabei sind sie es, die unserem Leben Sinn und Zusammenhang verleihen. Gleichzeitig erforschen Kinder neues, unbekanntes Terrain, formen frische Erinnerungen, erfinden die Welt neu. Doerr erzählt von fast mystischen Momenten, in denen die Zeit aufgehoben scheint und die Toten anwesend sind. Die Welt wird transparent, wenn dieser große und preisgekrönte Erzähler sie und ihre Bewohner beschreibt.

"Весь невидимый нам свет" — последний роман от лауреата многих престижных литературных премий Энтони Дорра. Эта книга, вынашивавшаяся более десяти лет, немедленно попала в списки бестселлеров — и вот уже который месяц их не покидает. "Весь невидимый нам свет" рассказывает о двигающихся, сами того не ведая, навстречу друг другу слепой французской девочке и робком немецком мальчике, которые пытаются, каждый на свой манер, выжить, пока кругом бушует война, не потерять человеческий облик и сохранить своих близких. Это книга о любви и смерти, о том, что с нами делает война, о том, что невидимый свет победит даже самую безнадежную тьму.

The Writer's Notebook II continues the tradition of its predecessor, featuring essays from craft seminars at the Tin House Summer Writer's Workshop and contributions from Tin House magazine and Tin House Books authors. This collection delves into essential craft elements like humor, suspense, and research while also addressing the creation of fractured and nonrealist narratives and the significance of dreams in fiction. It serves as both a toolkit and a source of inspiration for writers. Aspiring authors will find sixteen insightful essays on the craft of writing by notable Tin House authors and workshop faculty, including Aimee Bender, Steve Almond, and Maggie Nelson. The essays cover a range of topics: from beginnings and the importance of humor to the role of work in prose and poetry. Other essays discuss nonlinear narratives, the process of revision, and the interplay between story and dream. Each piece offers a unique perspective, encouraging writers to explore their craft more deeply and creatively. With contributions from a diverse array of voices, this collection is an engaging and enlightening read for anyone interested in the art of writing.

Set on four continents, stories about memory.

The author describes the year he spent in Rome after winning the Rome Prize, including his adventures around the city, life in a foreign but welcoming country, and parenthood as it applies to his newborn twins

David Winkler begins life in Anchorage, Alaska, a quiet boy drawn to the volatility of weather and obsessed with snow. Sometimes he sees things before they happen—a man carrying a hatbox will be hit by a bus; Winkler will fall in love with a woman in a supermarket. When David dreams that his infant daughter will drown in a flood as he tries to save her, he comes undone. He travels thousands of miles, fleeing family, home, and the future itself, to deny the dream. On a Caribbean island, destitute, alone, and unsure if his child has survived or his wife can forgive him, David is sheltered by a couple with a daughter of their own. Ultimately it is she who will pull him back into the world, to search for the people he left behind.

In this astonishingly assured, exquisitely crafted debut collection, Anthony Doerr takes readers from the African coast to the suburbs of Ohio, from sideshow pageantry to harsh wilderness survival, charting a vast and varied emotional landscape. Like the best storytellers, Doerr explores the human condition in all its manifestations: metamorphosis, grief, fractured relationships, and slowly mending hearts. Most dazzling is Doerr's gift for conjuring nature in both its beautiful abundance and crushing power. Some of his characters contend with tremendous hardship; some discover unique gifts; all are united by their ultimate deference to the mysteries of their respective landscapes.
