Everything is Illuminated
A young man arrives in the Ukraine, clutching in his hand a tattered photograph. He is searching for the woman who fifty years ago saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Unfortunately, he is aided in his quest by Alex, a translator with an uncanny ability to mangle English into bizarre new forms; a "blind" old man; and an undersexed guide dog.

Ogni cosa è illuminata
Un viaggio immaginoso aggrappato ai fili della memoria, fili impregnati di vita vera. Un modo tutto nuovo di rileggere il passato per illuminare il nostro presente. Con una vecchia fotografia in mano, un giovane studente ebreo americano di nome Jonathan Safran Foer (ebbene sì, proprio come l'autore) decide di fare un viaggio in Ucraina alla ricerca di Augustine, la donna che (forse) ha salvato suo nonno dai nazisti. Ad accompagnarlo è un coetaneo del posto, Alexander Perchov, detto Alex, che così si presenta nel suo personalissimo linguaggio: 'Il mio nome per la legge è Alexander Perchov. Ma tutti i miei amici mi chiamano Alex, perché è una versione del nome più flaccida da pronunciare. Mia madre mi chiama Alexi-basta-di-ammorbarmi perché sempre la ammorbo'. Insieme ad Alex, che lavora per i 'Viaggi Tradizione', ci sono anche suo nonno, che a dispetto di una cecità psicosomatica fa l'autista, e una cagnetta puzzolente chiamata Sammy Davis Jr Jr in onore del cantante preferito del capofamiglia. Il racconto del loro viaggio, di una comicità irresistibile, ma a tratti anche straziante, si alterna a capitoli di una vera e propria saga ebraica, attraverso la quale Jonathan ricostruisce, sul filo della memoria famigliare, le vicende di un villaggio dal Settecento fino alla sua quasi totale 'cancellazione' a opera dei nazisti. Un percorso impregnato di vita vera, storie d'amore, vicende tragiche e farsesche. Un romanzo che parla di persone e luoghi che non esistono più, delle verità dolorose che si celano dietro ogni famiglia, della necessità di ritrovare e reinventare di continuo il passato per illuminare il presente e dare un senso al vivere.

We Are the Weather
In We Are the Weather, Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent new way. Some people reject the fact, overwhelmingly supported by scientists, that our planet is warming because of human activity. But do those of us who accept the reality of human-caused climate change truly believe it? If we did, surely we would be roused to act on what we know. Will future generations distinguish between those who didn't believe in the science of global warming and those who said they accepted the science but failed to change their lives in response?The task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with ourselves-with our all-too-human reluctance to sacrifice immediate comfort for the sake of the future. We have, he reveals, turned our planet into a farm for growing animal products, and the consequences are catastrophic. Only collective action will save our home and way of life. And it all starts with what we eat-and don't eat-for breakfast.
