El esperado regreso a la novela de Paul Auster, que acompaña al inolvidable profesor Baumgartner en el viaje por los recuerdos de toda una vida.


Baumgartner es un eminente escritor y profesor universitario, tan excéntrico como increíblemente tierno, que hace nueve años perdió a su mujer. Su vida estuvo definida por el amor profundo y duradero que sentía hacia Anna y ahora, con 71 años, continúa luchando por vivir en su ausencia.

Su historia común arranca en 1968, cuando se conocen como estudiantes sin dinero en Nueva York y a pesar de ser casi opuestos en muchos aspectos, inician una apasionada relación que se prolongará a lo largo de cuarenta años. La superación del duelo por la pérdida de Anna se intercala con historias maravillosas -desde su juventud en Newark hasta la vida de revolucionario fracasado de su padre en Europa del Este- y con una poderosa reflexión acerca del modo en que amamos en distintas etapas de la vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A taut yet expansive novel of love, memory, and grief from Paul Auster, best-selling, award-winning author and "one of the great American prose stylists of our time" - New York Times

Paul Auster's brilliant eighteenth novel opens with a scorched pot of water, which Sy Baumgartner -- phenomenologist, noted author, and soon-to-be retired philosophy professor - has just forgotten on the stove.

Baumgartner's life had been defined by his deep, abiding love for his wife, Anna, who was killed in a swimming accident nine years earlier. Now 71, Baumgartner continues to struggle to live in her absence as the novel sinuously unfolds into spirals of memory and reminiscence, delineated in episodes spanning from 1968, when Sy and Anna meet as broke students working and writing in New York, through their passionate relationship over the next forty years, and back to Baumgartner's youth in Newark and his Polish-born father's life as a dress-shop owner and failed revolutionary.

Rich with compassion, wit, and Auster's keen eye for beauty in the smallest, most transient moments of ordinary life, Baumgartner asks: Why do we remember certain moments, and forget others? In one of his most luminous works and his first novel since the Booker-shortlisted tour-de-force 4 3 2 1, Paul Auster captures several lifetimes.

My picky husband approves of it.
Color: Two Tone - Cobalt Blue
Nice quality. Fits the right amount of slots for cards. Not too big or bulky. The wallet is very nice with the built in anti theft to protect your personal information. The clip on the side makes it perfect for cash only transactions. It is a nice front pocket wallet. Came in a nice tin can as well. The blue on blue that I got is my favorite one. My picky Husband approves as he loves front pocket wallets.

Close, but no cigar
Color: Pop Color - Navy/Red
Most of the features I wanted. Not quite as slim as I though and the mag money clip does hold enough bills, at least for me. I will use it for a while.
