The film tie-in edition to the already highly acclaimed Luca Guadagnino-directed film of one of the great love stories of our time.Call Me By Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blooms between seventeen-year-old Elio and his father's house guest Oliver during a restless summer on the Italian Riviera.Unrelenting currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire threaten to overwhelm the lovers who at first feign indifference to the charge between them. What grows from the depths of their souls is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration, and an experience that marks them for a lifetime.For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing they both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

En Lejos de Egipto, André Aciman rememora su infancia en la espléndida y multicultural Alejandría y las peripecias de su excéntrica familia, judíos sefarditas con raíces turcas e italianas, desde su llegada a la ciudad a principios de siglo hasta su expulsion en la decada de los sesenta, cuando el autor era adolescente. Un clan compuesto por figuras tan carismaticas como inclasificables: el tio Vili, exsoldado fanfarron, fascista italiano y espia britanico; las dos abuelas, la santa y la princesa, capaces de chismorrear en seis idiomas, incluido el ladino; la madre, Gigi, una mujer sorda de armas tomar; o la tia Flora, refugiada alemana que no cesa de recordar que los judios perderan cuanto poseen al menos dos veces en la vida.Comicas y exquisitas, con delicados ecos proustianos, estas hermosas memorias, construidas a la manera de las grandes sagas familiares, consiguen envolver al lector con una historia y unos protagonistas inolvidables. Lejos de Egipto, el libro mas querido de su autor y seguramente el mas emblematico, es una vivida y melancolica evocacion de la infancia como paraiso perdido, y de los perfumes y melodias de un luminoso mundo que el lector tampoco querra abandonar.

La nueva y mejor novela del autor de Llámame por tu nombre. «Aciman escribe con la ferocidad del escritor que finalmente ha dado con su manera de ver y tiene que sacarla a la luz. Ha creado algo magn

Érase una vez un hombre que quería convencer a su hijo de las ventajas de estudiar en la Universidad de Harvard. Y le contó una especie de fábula; la historia de su paso por el campus; en realidad, lo que le sucedio un caluroso verano, alla en los años setenta, mientras se preparaba para los examenes finales del curso de doctorado. Cierto dia se le ocurrio entrar en un cafetin de ambiente afrofrances y alli se topo con un personaje realmente singular, un tunecino extravagante, vestido como el Che Guevara, que estaba esperando que le concedieran el permiso de residencia, trabajaba de taxista, despotricaba contra todo y se acostaba con todas las mujeres que se le ponian a tiro.Harvard Square cuenta la historia de una amistad entrañable, desgarradora, divertida y conmovedora entre dos hombres contrapuestos: un judio y un arabe, un erudito y un picaro, un timido y un tipo mas listo que el hambre, un hombre con porvenir y un hombre sin nada mas que mi taxi, mi nabo y mi dignidad. Los dos tienen el mismo pasado, se identifican y se oponen, y su relacion obliga al protagonista a replantearse continuamente quien es quien y sobre todo quien y que es el. Pero es tambien una historia al modo de Proust sobre el paso implacable del tiempo, sobre la recuperacion de la identidad y sobre la nostalgia de un pasado que nos ha ...

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name and Find Me, a memoir of an extraordinary life. '[A] mesmerizing portrait of a now vanished world. Aciman's story of Alexandria is the story of his own family, a Jewish family with Italian and Turkish roots that tied its future to Egypt and made its home there for three generations, only to find itself peremptorily expelled by the Government in the early 1960's.It is the story of a fractious clan of dreamers and con men and the emotional price they would pay for exile, the story of a young boy's coming of age and his memories of the city he loved in his youth. Writing in lucid, lyrical prose, Mr. Aciman does an exquisite job of conjuring up the daily rhythms and rituals of his family's life: their weekly trips to the movies, their daily jaunts to the beach, their internecine squabbles over everything from religion to money to the pronunciation of words.There are some wonderfully vivid scenes here, as strange and marvelous as something in Garcia Marquez, as comical and surprising as something in Chekhov.' Michiko Kakutani, New York TimesAciman's latest novel, Find Me, is now available for preorder in paperback.

The bestselling author of Find Me and Call Me by Your Name returns to the essay form with this collection of thoughts on time, the creative mind, and great lives and works. The irrealis mood knows no boundaries between what is and what isn''t, between what happened and what won''t. In more ways than one, the essay about the artists, writers, and great minds gathered in this volume have nothing to do with who I am, or who they were, and my reading of them may be entirely erroneous. But I misread them the better to read myself. From meditations on subway poetry and the temporal resonances of an empty Italian street, to considerations of the lives and work of Sigmund Freud, Constantine Cavafy, W. G. Sebald, John Sloan, Eric Rohmer, Marcel Proust, and Fernando Pessoa, and portraits of cities such as Alexandria and St. Petersburg, Homo Irrealis is a deep reflection of the imagination''s power to shape our memories under time''s seemingly intractable hold.

A group of college friends find themselves marooned at a luxurious hotel on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. While their boat is being repaired, they can't help but observe the daily routine of a fellow hotel guest - a mysterious, white-bearded stranger who sits on the veranda each night and smokes one cigarette, sometimes two. When the group decides to invite the elegant traveller to lunch with them, they cannot begin to imagine the miraculous abilities, strange wisdom, and a life-changing story he is about to impart to one of the friends in particular. . .

È l'estate del 1977 e Cambridge è quasi deserta. Gli studenti di Harvard vanno in vacanza o a fare esperienze di lavoro all'estero, e sono pochi quelli che rimangono nella citta oppressa dal gran caldo di luglio. Tra questi c'è un dottorando che si sta preparando per gli esami. È un ebreo di origini egiziane, un outsider nel mondo accademico di una delle universita più antiche e prestigiose degli Stati Uniti. Nella suggestiva Harvard Square, punto di riferimento della vita studentesca, c'è un locale dal sapore mediterraneo, il Café Algiers, completamente estraneo all'ambiente pretenzioso che lo circonda. È qui che lo studente fa l'incontro che potrebbe cambiare il corso di tutta la sua vita. Qui conosce Kalashnikov, un tassista tunisino, così soprannominato per la sua parlantina caustica e chiassosa, che non risparmia nessuno: uomini, donne, bianchi, neri, capitalisti, liberali, conservatori... I due, uniti da una lingua comune, il francese, dal profondo senso di sradicamento e dalla nostalgia per le atmosfere dei loro paesi d'origine, diventano inseparabili. Rinviata ogni decisione sul futuro, riempiono le afose giornate di chiacchiere, cibo, vino, caffé, gite al lago e belle donne. Fino a quando non ricomincia il semestre invernale ed entrambi vengono risucchiati dalle loro "vite di sempre", inconciliabilmente diverse.
