Never Let Me Go 19-Mar-2009

by Kazuo Ishiguro

( 27,137 )

$12.99 $21.00

From the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and Klara and the Sun, comes “a Gothic tour de force" (The New York Times) with an extraordinary twist—a moving, suspenseful, beautifully atmospheric modern classic.

Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well-tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.

Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.

Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.

The magnificent new novel from Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro--author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize-winning The Remains of the Day.

“The Sun always has ways to reach us.”

From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behaviour of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass in the street outside. She remains hopeful a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change forever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans.

In Klara and the Sun, Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?

$12.99 $21.00

From the universally acclaimed author of The Remains of the Day comes a mesmerizing novel of completely unexpected mood and matter--a seamless, fictional universe, both wholly unrecognizable and familiar.

Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall 29-May-2009

by Kazuo Ishiguro

( 952 )

$12.99 $19.95

In this sublime story cycle, Kazuo Ishiguro explores love, music and the passage of time. This quintet ranges from Italian piazzas to the Malvern Hills, a London flat to the “hush-hush floor” of an exclusive Hollywood hotel. Along the way we meet young dreamers, café musicians and faded stars, all at some moment of reckoning.

Gentle, intimate and witty, Nocturnes is underscored by a haunting theme: the struggle to restoke life’s romance, even as relationships flounder and youthful hopes recede.

WINNER OF THE WHITBREAD (NOW COSTA) BOOK OF THE YEAR
1948: Japan is rebuilding her cities after the calamity of World War II, her people putting defeat behind them and looking to the future. The celebrated painter Masuji Ono fills his days attending to his garden, his two grown daughters and his grandson, and his evenings drinking with old associates in quiet lantern-lit bars. His should be a tranquil retirement. But as his memories continually return to the past - to a life and a career deeply touched by the rise of Japanese militarism - a dark shadow begins to grow over his serenity.

Les vestiges du jour (French Edition) 14-Nov-2017

by Kazuo Ishiguro, Sophie Mayoux

( 338 )

$14.99

"Les grands majordomes sont grands parce qu'ils ont la capacité d'habiter leur rôle professionnel, et de l'habiter autant que faire se peut ; ils ne se laissent pas ébranler par les événements extérieurs, fussent-ils surprenants, alarmants ou offensants. Ils portent leur professionnalisme comme un homme bien élevé porte son costume. C'est, je l'ai dit, une question de dignité."
Stevens a passé sa vie à servir les autres, majordome pendant les années 1930 de l'influent Lord Darlington puis d'un riche Américain. Les temps ont changé et il n'est plus certain de satisfaire son employeur. Jusqu'à ce qu'il parte en voyage vers Miss Kenton, l'ancienne gouvernante qu'il aurait pu aimer, et songe face à la campagne anglaise au sens de sa loyauté et de ses choix passés...

Los restos del dia (Spanish Edition) 6-Feb-2018

by Kazuo Ishiguro

( 492 )

$9.99 $13.44

Inglaterra, julio de 1956. Stevens, el narrador, fue durante treinta años mayordomo de Lord Darlington, quien murió hace tres años, y su propiedad pertenece ahora a un norteamericano. Su nuevo patrón regresará por unas semanas a su país, y le ha ofrecido al mayordomo el auto para que disfrute de unas vacaciones. Y Stevens se embarca en un viaje por el país rumbo a Weymouth, donde vive la señora Benn, antigua ama de llaves de Darlington Hall. Jornada a jornada, Ishiguro desplegará ante el lector una novela perfecta de luces y claroscuros para desvelar una realidad mucho más amarga que los amables paisajes que el mayordomo deja atrás. Porque Stevens averigua que Lord Darlington fue un miembro de la clase dirigente inglesa que se dejó seducir por el fascismo y conspiró activamente para conseguir una alianza entre Inglaterra y Alemania. Y descubre, y también el lector, que hay algo peor incluso que haber servido a un hombre indigno.

"Arrêtez-vous, ne serait-ce qu'une seconde, et laissez parler quelqu'un d'autre, quelqu'un qui vient de l'extérieur, qui n'appartient pas à ce petit monde fermé où vous semblez tous si contents de demeurer !

Mais cette ville est-elle véritablement inconnue de Ryder ?

( 39 )

$14.99 $29.95

Des piazzas italiennes aux collines de Malvern, d’un appartement londonien à l’étage feutré d’un hôtel de Hollywood, voici des musiciens de rue, des stars déchues, tous en quête d’un nouveau mouvement à jouer. Si la musique demande des sacrifices, un saxophoniste doit-il accepter la chirurgie esthétique pour réussir ? Faut-il qu’un crooner change d’existence pour retrouver le succès ?

Kazuo Ishiguro alterne humour et mélancolie pour nous conter le destin de passionnés. Les thèmes évoqués sont éternels : l’amour, la musique, le combat de chacun pour conserver intact le charme de la vie quand les espoirs s’émoussent.

Quando éramos órfãos (Portuguese Edition) 28-Apr-2022

by Kazuo Ishiguro, José Marcos Macedo

( 38 )

$8.79 $10.99

Neste romance sutil e envolvente do Nobel de Literatura de 2017, o detetive Christopher Banks retorna a Xangai, sua terra natal, onde seus pais desapareceram misteriosamente há vinte anos. A cidade agora é palco da guerra entre China e Japão, e a busca de Banks por seus pais passa a confundir-se com a busca pela ordem num mundo órfão, vitimado pela sombra.

Quando éramos órfãos marca a volta de Kazuo Ishiguro à ficção, depois de um silêncio de cinco anos. Com sutileza temperada por um humor fino e certeiro, o autor de Os vestígios do dia escreve sobre o poder do passado de determinar, para o bem ou para o mal, o presente das pessoas.
Christopher Banks, um garoto inglês nascido na Xangai do início do século, fica órfão aos nove anos de idade, quando seus pais desaparecem misteriosamente. De volta à Inglaterra, torna-se um detetive de renome e circula nos meios mais refinados. Vinte anos depois, Banks resolve rever Xangai - agora palco da guerra sangrenta entre China e Japão. A partir desse momento, sua busca pelos pais passa a confundir-se com a busca pela ordem num mundo órfão, vitimado pela sombra.
Envolvente, a narrativa ganha ritmo de trama policial na voz controlada e minuciosa do protagonista. A aparente frieza do relato, entretanto, não esconde o que Christopher Banks não quer ou não pode ver: que sua memória, sua visão de mundo, não estão imunes às tragédias da infância. No vaivém das reminiscências, o lirismo colide dolorosamente com a matéria dura da realidade.
