Новинки Эммануэля Каррера

Роман-биография Эдуарда Лимонова (1943–2020), написанный французским писателем Эммануэлем Каррером, снискал большой европейский успех и в 2013 году, при жизни его героя, был переведен на русский язык, заслужив — по крайней мере как литературный факт — благосклонную оценку с его стороны. Новое издание выходит в год восьмидесятилетия Лимонова, на фоне предсказанной им войны и подтверждает как актуальность фигуры писателя, пропустившего через себя острейшие внутренние конфликты своей страны, так и прозорливость его биографа, сумевшего зафиксировать дух сразу нескольких культурных миров, через которые Лимонов прошел в своем развитии, в том числе смутную атмосферу России 1990–2000-х, где он пережил вторую молодость, полную надежд и разочарований.

"Sans me vanter, je suis exceptionnellement doué pour faire d'une vie qui aurait tout pour être heureuse un véritable enfer."Janvier 2015, Emmanuel Carrère rejoint un stage intensif de méditation. Son but : écrire un petit livre souriant et subtil sur le yoga. Mais son projet est bouleversé lorsqu'il est diagnostiqué bipolaire de type II. S'ensuivent une lourde dépression, une aventure passionnelle, un séjour en hôpital psychiatrique, des attentats, des deuils et un atelier d'écriture sur une île grecque. Par une écriture sublimée, Emmanuel Carrère nous transporte dans son intimité la plus profonde et sa quête d'unité perdue.

V13 : c'est le nom de code du procès des attentats terroristes qui, le vendredi 13 novembre 2015, ont causé 130 morts au Stade de France, sur des terrasses de l'est parisien, dans la salle de concert du Bataclan.14 accusés, 1800 parties civiles, 350 avocats, un dossier haut de 53 mètres : ce procès hors norme a duré neuf mois, de septembre 2021 à juin 2022. Je l'ai suivi, du premier au dernier jour, pour l'hebdomadaire L'Obs.Expérience éprouvante, souvent bouleversante, fascinante même quand elle était ennuyeuse.Une traversée.

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE ADVERSARY
One morning, a man shaves off his long-worn moustache, hoping to amuse his wife and friends. But when nobody notices, or pretends not to have noticed, what started out as a simple trick turns to terror. As doubt and denial bristle, and every aspect of his life threatens to topple into madness – a disturbing solution comes into view, taking us on a dramatic flight across the world.

The most exciting living writer' Karl Ove Knausgaard Over the course of his career, Emmanuel Carrere has reinvented non-fiction writing. In a search for truth in all its guises, he dispenses with the rules of genre.

Featuring more than thirty extraordinary texts written over an illustrious twenty-five-year period of Carrere's creative life, the book shows a remarkable mind at work. Spanning continents, histories, and personal relationships, 97,196 Words considers the divides between truth, reality and our shared humanity, exploring remarkable events and eccentric lives, including Carrere's own.

The sensational international bestseller from one of France's most fêted writers - an epic novel telling the story of Christianity as it has never been told before, and one man's crisis of faith.

Corinth, ancient Greece, two thousand years ago. An itinerant preacher, poor, wracked by illness, tells the story of a prophet who was crucified in Judea, who came back from the dead, and whose return is a sign of something enormous. Like a contagion, the story will spread over the city, the country and, eventually, the world. Emmanuel Carrère's astonishing historical epic tells the story of the mysterious beginnings of Christianity, bringing to life a distant, primeval past of strange sects, apocalyptic beliefs and political turmoil. In doing so Carrère, once himself a fervent believer, questions his own faith, asks why we believe in resurrection, and what it means. The Kingdom is his masterpiece.

‘As a writer, Carrère is straight berserk’ Junot Díaz
In this non-fiction novel – road trip, confession, and erotic tour de force – Emmanuel Carrère pursues two consuming obsessions: the disappearance of his grandfather amid suspicions that he was a Nazi collaborator in the Second World War; and a violently passionate affair with a woman that he loves but which ends in destruction. Moving between Paris and Kotelnich, a grisly post-Soviet town, Carrère weaves his story into a trav

Limonov is not a fictional character, but he could have been. He's lived a hundred lives. He was a hoodlum in Ukraine, an idol of the Soviet underground, punk-poet and valet to a billionaire in Manhattan, fashion writer in Paris, lost soldier in the Balkans, and now, in the chaos after the fall of communism a charismatic party leader of a gang of political desperados. Limonov sees himself as a hero, but he is also a bastard. Carrere suspends judgment. Carrère decided to write about Limonov because he thought "that his life, romantic and reckless, tells us something, not just about Limonov or Russia, but the story of all of us after the end of World War II."
