Reading Genesis
A brilliant and dramatic close reading of the first book of the Bible focussing on the complex relationship with humankind'A work of exceptional wisdom and imagination' DR ROWAN WILLIAMS, DAILY TELEGRAPH'Rich and provoking... Robinson has masterfully traced a sense of wonder back to its ancient, remarkable source' JULIAN COMAN, OBSERVER'Reading Genesis is alive with questions of kindness, community and how to express what we so often struggle to put into words' NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINEFor generations, the Book of Genesis, included in its entirety here, has been treated by scholars as a collection of documents by various hands, expressing different factional interests, with borrowings from other ancient literatures that mark the text as derivative. In other words, academic interpretation of Genesis has centered on the question of its basic coherence, just as fundamentalist interpretation has centered on the question of the appropriateness of reading it as literally true.Marilynne Robinson's approach is different. Hers is one of an appreciation of Genesis for its greatness as literature, for its rich articulation and exploration of themes that resonate through the whole of Scripture. She illuminates the importance of the stories of, among others, Adam and Eve; Noah and his ark; the rivalry of Cain and Abel; and the father and son drama of Abraham and Isaac, to consider the profound meanings and promise of God's enduring covenant with humankind. Her magisterial book radiates gratitude for the constancy and benevolence of God's abiding faith in Creation.

Evlerden Uzak
PENHEMINGWAY ÖDÜLÜCünkü insan yalnizligi bir kere tatti mi, baska türlü de var olmus olabilecegine inanmasi artik imkansizdir. Yalnizlik mutlak bir kesiftir. Insan aydinlik bir pencereye iceriden baktiginda isiklari yanan bir odada kendi imgesini görür; göle yukaridan baktiginda da agaclar ve gökyüzüyle sarmalanmis kendi imgesini görür. Aldatmaca bariz, bariz oldugu kadar da pohpohlayicidir. Insan karanliktan aydinliga baktiginda ise, burasi ile orasi, bu ile su arasindaki bütün farki görür. Belki siginacak yeri olmayan tüm insanlar icten ice öfkelidir; catiyi, omurgayi, kaburgayi kirmak, pencereleri paramparca etmek, zemini sular seller altinda birakmak, perdeleri delik desik etmek, kanepeyi suya batirmak isterler.Annelerinin ölümünün ardindan önce anneanneleriyle, sonra büyük halalariyla, en sonunda da teyzeleriyle birlikte göl kiyisindaki kücük bir kasabada yasayan iki kiz kardesin hikayesini anlatiyor Evlerden Uzak. Bir yandan büyümenin kendine özgü sikintilariyla bogusan Ruth ve Lucille, diger yandan da teyzeleri Sylvienin alisilmadik karakteri ve hayat tarzi karsisinda bocalayarak kendi yollarini cizmeye calisiyorlar.Amerikali yazar Marilynne Robinson, aile, kayip, hafiza, fanilik, aidiyet ve yabancilik gibi konulara kafa yorarken, derinlikli gözlemleri ve siirsel betimlemeleriyle siradan seylerin büyüsünü aciga cikariyor.

She becomes the wife of a minister, John Ames, and begins a new existence while trying to make sense of the life that preceded her newfound security.Neglected as a toddler, Lila was rescued by Doll, a canny young drifter, and brought up by her in a hardscrabble childhood. Together they crafted a life on the run, living hand to mouth with nothing but their sisterly bond and a ragged blade to protect them. Despite bouts of petty violence and moments of desperation, their shared life was laced with moments of joy and love. When Lila arrives in Gilead, she struggles to reconcile the life of her makeshift family and their days of hardship with the gentle Christian worldview of her husband which paradoxically judges those she loves.Revisiting the beloved characters and setting of Robinson's Pulitzer Prize-winning Gilead and Home, a National Book Award finalist, Lila is a moving expression of the mysteries of existence that is destined to become an American classic.

Housekeeping (Fortieth Anniversary Edition)
Winner of the Pen/Hemingway AwardA modern classic, Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping is the story of Ruth and her younger sister, Lucille, who grow up haphazardly, first under the care of their competent grandmother, then of two comically bumbling great-aunts, and finally of Sylvie, the eccentric and remote sister of their dead mother. The family house is in the small town of Fingerbone on a glacial lake in the Far West, the same lake where their grandfather died in a spectacular train wreck and their mother drove off a cliff to her death. It is a town "chastened by an outsized landscape and extravagant weather, and chastened again by an awareness that the whole of human history had occurred elsewhere." Ruth and Lucille's struggle toward adulthood beautifully illuminates the price of loss and survival, and the dangerous and deep undertow of transcience.
