An utterly charming book of dazzling illustrations and intriguing tales about the often eccentric mindset of inveterate art collectors.Beloved Parisian artist Pierre Le-Tan, known for designing New Yorker magazine covers and collaborations with fashion houses, summons up memories of inveterate art collectors in this utterly charming illustrated volume. He evokes fascinating, sometimes troubled figures through an array of intriguing and curious tales. With seventy of his distinctive pen and ink drawings—in vibrant color with meticulous cross-hatching—A Few Collectors opens a window onto the vast or minuscule world created by collectors out of a mix of extravagance and obstinacy. It recounts encounters in Paris, the Côte d’Azur, North Africa, London and New York, where Le-Tan’s subjects have amassed a range of treasures. Some involve famed figures like former Louvre Museum director Pierre Rosenberg. Others are insolvent aristocrats, princes of film and fashion, expatriate dandies, and flat-out obsessive eccentrics. Le-Tan devotes perhaps his finest chapter to himself. Autorid: Pierre Le-Tan

Building upon her celebrated autobiography Distant Fathers, Italian author Marina Jarre returns to her native Latvia for the first time since she left as a ten-year-old girl in 1935. In Return to Latvia—a masterful collage-like work that is part travelogue, part memoir, part ruminative essay—she looks for traces of her murdered father whom she never bid farewell. Jarre visits the former Jewish ghetto of Riga and its southern forest, where tens of thousands were slaughtered in a 1941 mass execution by Nazi death squads with active participation by Latvian collaborators. Here she attempts to reconcile herself with her past, or at least to heal the wounds of a truncated childhood. Piecing together documents and memories, Return to Latvia explores immense guilt, repression and the complicity of Latvians in the massacres of their Jewish neighbors, highlighting vast Holocaust atrocities that occurred outside the confines of death camps and in plain view.

"Enthralling ... A great read."—Philippe de Montebello, former director, Metropolitan Museum of ArtOctober 16, 1943, inside the Vatican as darkness descends upon Rome. Having been alerted to the Nazi plan to round up the city’s Jewish population the next day, Monsignor F. dispatches an envoy to a nearby palazzo to bring Ludwig Pollak and his family to safety within the papal premises. But Pollak shows himself in no hurry to leave his home and accept the eleventh-hour offer of refuge. Pollak’s visitor is obliged to take a seat and listen as he recounts his life story: how he studied archaeology in Prague, his passion for Italy and Goethe, how he became a renowned antiquities dealer and advisor to great collectors like J. P. Morgan and the Austro-Hungarian emperor after his own Jewishness barred him from an academic career, and finally his spectacular discovery of the missing arm from the majestic ancient sculpture of Laocoön and his sons. Torn between hearing Pollak’s spellbinding tale and the urgent mission to save the archaeologist from certain annihilation, the Vatican’s anxious messenger presses him to make haste and depart. This stunning novel illuminates the chasm between civilization and barbarism by spotlighting a little-known figure devoted to knowledge and the power of artistic creation.

"One of those rare biographical novels that bring a whole world to life in a way that lingers in memory."—Jay Parini, author of Borges and MeThis absorbing, sensitive novel portrays a famed author in a moment of crisis: an aging Hugo von Hofmannsthal returns to a summer resort outside of Salzburg that he visited as a child. But in the spa town where he once thrilled to the joys of youth, he now feels unproductive and uninspired, adrift in the modern world born after World War One. Over ten days in 1924 in a ramshackle inn that has been renamed the Grand Hotel, Hofmannsthal fruitlessly attempts to complete a play he’s long been wrestling with. The writer is plagued by feelings of loneliness and failure that echo in a buzz of inner monologues, imaginary conversations and nostalgic memories of relationships with glittering cultural figures. Palace of Flies conjures up an individual state of distress and disruption at a time of fundamental societal transformation that speaks eloquently to our own age. Autorid: Walter Kappacher

"An Israeli professor travels to a fictitious West African nation to trace a slave-trading ancestor, only to be imprisoned under a new law barring successive generations from profiting off the proceeds of slavery. But before departing from Tel Aviv, the protagonist falls in love with Lucile, a mysterious African migrant worker who cleans his house. Entertaining and thought-provoking, this satire of contemporary attitudes toward racism and the legacy of colonialism examines economic inequality and the global refugee crisis, as well as the memory of transatlantic chattel slavery and the Holocaust. Is the professor's passion for Africa merely a fashionable pose and the book he's secretly writing about his experience there nothing but a modern version of theslave trade?"-- The protagonist of this satirical novel travels to Africa on a journey that ends up as an exploration of self-righteous racism and the collective responsibility to address it.

Los autores denuncian, desde diferentes perspectivas, cómo Israeldesarrolla una estrategia perfectamente planificada de ocupación ydesalojo de Palestina, y cómo la llamada comunidad internacionalemite, como mucho, algunas quejas retóricas en las que sitúa alagresor y al agredido en el mismo plano. Eso cuando no se refiere entérminos más duros y conminativos a la resistencia palestina(calificada de «terrorista», sin matiz de ningún tipo) que a la acción criminal del Estado sionista, de la que sólo deplora sus «excesos»,como si toda su política genocida no fuera en sí misma un intolerabley aberrante exceso. Con el apoyo material de los Estados Unidos deAmérica, que le proporcionan cuantas armas, dinero y coberturaestratégica necesita, Israel se permite desdeñar la legislacióninternacional -la Convención de Ginebra, muy destacadamente- y pasarpor alto todas las resoluciones de las Naciones Unidas sobre elconflicto.Análisis de los últimos pasos y de la más reciente estrategia deIsrael para la neutralización del pueblo de Palestina y la conquistade su territorio. Va acompañado de una breve Historia y una cronología del conflicto en su conjunto.

"Three Israeli women adjust to life in the United States. In the title story of Arad's latest book, an older Israeli woman reflects on nearly half a century spent in the American Midwest, where she teaches Hebrew at the local (unnamed) university. It's been a quiet life spent scrupulously building up an academic program in Hebrew and Jewish studies. Lately, however, enrollment in Ilana's classes has fallen: "What will happen," she wonders, "if Hebrew ends up like Hindi or Polish, with just a beginners' class offered every two or three years?" Just then, a flashy young professor--also Israeli--is hired, and Ilana is caught off guard: Yoad, with his complicated critiques of Israeli politics, seems intent on undermining not just Ilana's work, but also the comfortable assumptions on which she's based her life. It's a quiet, novella-length story, meticulously observed, with remarkable shades of subtlety and nuance. What could have easily become a political screed is, instead, a gentle inquiry into aging, what it means to be relevant, academic ambition, and, most particularly, the morality of Zionist politics. The other two novellas that make up this volume are just as intricately realized. In A Visit (Scenes), Miriam visits her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson in Silicon Valley, where she quickly discovers fault lines in her son's apparently stable family. Make New Friends tackles the insipid--and occasionally insidious--world of social media when Efrat tries to help her daughter adjust to middle school life. Each story is marked by the meticulousness of Arad's observations and the depth of her insights. While her stories follow traditional forms, unmuddied by narrative experimentation, the wisdom she culls from them is tremendous. The quiet subtlety of Arad's prose only pulls the strength of her insights into higher relief."--Provided by publisher.
