Ein klarer Tag
Eine einsame Shetlandinsel. Zwei Männer aus unterschiedlichen Welten. Eine zerbrechliche Freundschaft. Dies ist eines der Bücher, die man unmöglich vergisst.Es ist ein kalter Sommertag 1843, als John Ferguson nach einer stürmischen Überfahrt die kleine, karge Insel im Nordmeer erreicht. Für einen Monat ist der verarmte Pfarrer von der schottischen Freikirche hierhergeschickt worden, um Ivar, den letzten verbliebenen Bewohner, von der Insel wegzuschaffen. Im Auftrag des Gutsbesitzers soll er den großen, stillen Mann samt seinen wenigen Habseligkeiten mit dem nächsten Schiff nach Aberdeen bringen, von seinem Zuhause verjagen. So wie all die Schafbauern in den Highlands, die im Zuge der 'Clearances' bereits alles verloren haben. Trotz moralischer Bedenken hat der idealistische Ferguson diesen Auftrag angenommen. Seine Frau Mary indes befürchtet, dass ihr Mann nicht von dieser Reise zurückkehren könnte. Zu naiv, zu weltfremd, zu gutgläubig ist er. Und tatsächlich stürzt Ferguson schon kurz nach seiner Ankunft von einer Klippe und verletzt sich schwer. Er ist dem Mann ausgeliefert, den er von dem Eiland vertreiben soll. Und dessen Güte Fergusons Gewissen vor eine schwierige Entscheidung stellt.

Trust
Dopo l'uscita di un romanzo mendace e offensivo sulla sua vita, Andrew Bevel, diventato milionario speculando sul crollo del '29, assume la giovane figlia di un anarchico italiano, Ida Partenza, perché lo aiuti a scrivere un'autobiografia che racconti la verità sui suoi successi e sulla sua defunta moglie, Mildred. Ma nella figura della donna c'è qualcosa che Ida non riesce a inquadrare e, quando Bevel muore improvvisamente, è costretta a lasciare il lavoro incompiuto. Solo trent'anni dopo, grazie agli archivi della Fondazione Bevel, troverà il diario di Mildred, prezioso tassello mancante dell'enigma. Quattro testi, quattro generi letterari, quattro voci, quattro punti di vista: un raffinato gioco di specchi per ricostruire le scelte di un leggendario uomo d'affari e la figura polimorfa della donna che è stata l'artefice misconosciuta della sua fortuna.

New York, anni cinquanta. Dopo la pubblicazione di un romanzo mendace e offensivo sulla sua vita, il ricchissimo finanziere Andrew Bevel, diventato milionario dopo alcune speculazioni seguite al crollo in Borsa del ¿29, assume la giovane Ida Partenza, figlia di un anarchico italiano, perché lo aiuti a scrivere un¿autobiografia in grado di raccontare finalmente la verità sui suoi successi e sulla sua defunta moglie, Mildred. Ida intuisce presto che nemmeno dalla sua penna, strettamente controllata dal committente, uscirà il ritratto fedele di una donna complessa la cui reale personalità continua a sfuggirle, e la morte improvvisa di Bevel la costringe infine a lasciare incompleto il lavoro. Soltanto trent¿anni dopo ha la possibilità di accedere agli archivi della Fondazione Bevel, dove trova finalmente il diario di Mildred, prezioso tassello mancante all¿enigma che ha lasciato nella sua vita un¿impronta indelebile. Quattro testi, quattro generi letterari, quattro voci, quattro punti di vista compongono un raffinato gioco di specchi in cui dietro le scelte di un leggendario uomo d¿affari americano si intravede la figura polimorfa e affascinante di una moglie, artefice misconosciuta della sua fortuna.

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTIONONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES’S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2022LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 BOOKER PRIZE“Buzzy and enthralling . . . A glorious novel about empires and erasures, husbands and wives, staggering fortunes and unspeakable misery . . . Fun as hell to read.” —Oprah Daily"A genre-bending, time-skipping story about New York City’s elite in the roaring ’20s and Great Depression." —Vanity Fair“A riveting story of class, capitalism, and greed.” —Esquire"Exhilarating.” —New York TimesEven through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.Hernan Diaz’s TRUST elegantly puts these competing narratives into conversation with one another—and in tension with the perspective of one woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that spans over a century and becomes more exhilarating with each new revelation.At once an immersive story and a brilliant literary puzzle, TRUST engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the deceptions that often live at the heart of personal relationships, the reality-warping force of capital, and the ease with which power can manipulate facts.

Treue
Hernan Diaz' vielschichtiger Roman dekonstruiert den amerikanischen Mythos von Männern, Macht und Reichtum und gipfelt in einer provokanten Geschichte der Emanzipation. Ausgezeichnet mit dem Pulitzer-Preis 2023Am Anfang steht das Geld. Und ein Mann, der es zu vermehren versteht wie kein Zweiter. In der schillernden New Yorker Finanzwelt der 20er-Jahre wächst Benjamin Rasks Vermögen ins Unermessliche. Aber erst seine Ehe mit der geheimnisvollen Helen gibt seinem Leben Sinn. Bald vibriert die ganze Stadt vor Gerüchten um das enigmatische Paar, und mit der Zeit beginnen die vielen Erzählungen die Wahrheit über die Eheleute zu verschleiern. Bis sich eine unerwartete Stimme in dem Gewirr Gehör verschafft."Treue" ist ein fulminantes Spiel mit dem Leser, eine vierteilige Matroschka, deren Kern den großen amerikanischen Mythos des Kapitals für immer verändert. Was als klassischer Roman über Macht und Männer beginnt, gipfelt in einer provokanten und hochmodernen Geschichte der Emanzipation.
