In 1964, an Indian man leaves his native country to sail to London. He studies at the London School of Economics, sharing an apartment with a group of other expatriate Bengalis. Five years later, at age 36, the man gets a job offer from a library at MIT. Around the same time, his marriage was arranged so he flies first to his wedding in Calcutta and then onwards to Boston.

Senelė, sužinojusi, kad Ašima laukiasi, suvirpėjo iš džiaugsmo, jog galės pavadinti pirmąjį šeimos sahibą. Tad Ašima su Ašoku nu- sprendė duoti vaikui vardą vėliau, kai gaus jos laišką…
Tačiau laikas bėgo, o laiško iš Indijos nebuvo. Amerikos biurokratai pareikalavo nedelsiant pavadinti berniuką. Apimtas panikos, tėvas nusprendė duoti jam savo mėgstamo rašytojo – Gogolio vardą. Užaugintas Amerikos priemiestyje, bet auklėtas pagal indų tradicijas, Gogolis panoro atsikratyti nepatogaus vardo ir pasipriešinti savo tėvų puoselėjamoms vertybėms.
Elegantiškas, subtilus ir jaudinantis bengalų kilmės rašytojos Jhumpos Lahiri romanas Bendravardis plėtoja autorei itin svarbias imigrantų patirčių, kultūrų sankirtų, ryšio tarp skirtingų kartų temas. Su stebėtinu įžvalgumu ji pasakoja ne tik apie vaikui parenkamo vardo svarbą ir tėvų puoselėjamas viltis, bet ir apie tai, kaip lėtai ir kartais skausmingai atrandame patys save.

The short story is one of the most varied and exciting genres in American literature. This collection brings together many of its finest examples from the early nineteenth century to the present. It contains a richly diverse cast of characters, including convicts, artists, farm labourers, slaves, soldiers and salesmen, witches and ghosts, families and lovers. Their stories are told by some of America's most celebrated writers (Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edith Wharton, Raymond Carver) and a few, like Fanny Fern or Charles W. Chestnutt, who may be less familiar. The collection offers a stimulating combination of acknowledged classics, including Mark Twain's hilarious 'Jim Smiley's Jumping Frog' and Edgar Allan Poe's chilling 'The Tell-Tale Heart', and some remarkable pieces that deserve a wider audience, such as Ernest Hemingway's story of miscommunication, 'Out of Season', or Lorrie Moore's tale of modern love and wit, 'Starving Again'.
Kasia Boddy's introduction traces the history of the American short story and explores the changes and continuities in its forms and preoccupations. This edition also contains a chronology, explanatory and biographical notes and suggestions for further reading.

Эти девять историй волнуют душу не страшными семейными трагедиями, а щемящей сердце драмой повседневности: исчерпавшая себя любовь, неприкаянность человека, оторванного от родного дома, несбывшиеся надежды и томительное ожидание перемен, неожиданные повороты судьбы, которые могут обернуться как бедой, так и счастьем...

Лаконичный стиль и глубокий психологизм Джумпы Лахири рисуют внутренний мир героев с такой проникновенностью, сочувствием и тончайшим юмором, что незначительные, на первый взгляд, события из жизни вполне заурядных людей обретают высокий смысл и наполняют трепетным сопереживанием.

Ашок Гангули выжил в железнодорожной катастрофе, потому что в момент крушения не спал, а читал любимую книгу томик Гоголя. Спустя годы, эмигрировав с женой в США, он назвал сына Гоголем, скрыв от мальчика истинную причину своего странного выбора.

Роман лауреата Пулитцеровской премии Джумпы Лахири трогательная семейная драма, которая поднимает близкие автору темы: столкновение разных культур, конфликт поколений, взаимоотношения молодых людей,…

On a post-college visit to Florence, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri fell in love with the Italian language. Twenty years later, seeking total immersion, she and her family relocated to Rome, where she began to read and write solely in her adopted tongue. A startling act of self-reflection, In Other Words is Lahiri’s meditation on the process of learning to express herself in another language—and the stunning journey of a writer seeking a new voice.

Translating Myself and Others is a collection of candid and disarmingly personal essays by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Jhumpa Lahiri, who reflects on her emerging identity as a translator as well as a writer in two languages.

With subtlety and emotional immediacy, Lahiri draws on Ovid’s myth of Echo and Narcissus to explore the distinction between writing and translating, and provides a close reading of passages from Aristotle’s Poetics to talk more broadly about writing, desire, and freedom. She traces the theme of translation in Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks and takes up the question of Italo Calvino’s popularity as a translated author. Lahiri considers the unique challenge of translating her own work from Italian to English, the question “Why Italian?,” and the singular pleasures of translating contemporary and ancient writers.

Featuring essays originally written in Italian and published in English for the first time, as well as essays written in English, Translating Myself and Others brings together Lahiri’s most lyrical and eloquently observed meditations on the translator’s art as a sublime act of both linguistic and personal metamorphosis.

Rome—metropolis and monument, suspended between past and future, multi-faceted and metaphysical—is the protagonist, not the setting, of these nine the first short story collection by the Pulitzer Prize–winning master of the form since her number one New York Times best seller Unaccustomed Earth, and a major literary event.

In “The Boundary,” one family vacations in the Roman countryside, though we see their lives through the eyes of the caretaker’s daughter, who nurses a wound from her family’s immigrant past. In “P’s Parties,” a Roman couple, now empty nesters, finds comfort and community with foreigners at their friend’s yearly birthday gathering—until the husband crosses a line. And in “The Steps,” on a public staircase that connects two neighborhoods and the residents who climb up and down it, we see Italy’s capital in all of its social and cultural variegations, filled with the tensions of a changing visibility and invisibility, random acts of aggression, the challenge of straddling worlds and cultures, and the meaning of home.

These are splendid, searching stories, written in Jhumpa Lahiri’s adopted language of Italian and seamlessly translated by the author and by Knopf editor Todd Portnowitz. Stories steeped in the moods of Italian master Alberto Moravia and guided, in the concluding tale, by the ineluctable ghost of Dante Alighieri, whose words lead the protagonist toward a new way of life.

В рассказе автор поднимает вопрос, который хоть раз, да приходил к каждому из нас. А не бросить ли всё, скрыться туда, где тебя не будут знать, начать жизнь с чистого листа и делать то, что тебе хочется, а не то, что надо!

Роман Джумпы Лахири — лауреата Пулитцеровской премии — классическая семейная сага, в центре которой два брата. Мальчишки счастливы в родительском доме на краю низины, где растут водяные гиацинты и где им знаком каждый уголок. Они не представляют жизни друг без друга. Но когда они вырастут, им предстоят разные пути-дороги и любовь к одной и той же женщине. Для младшего эта любовь станет счастьем, а для старшего — драмой на всю жизнь…

When Jhumpa Lahiri decided to read exclusively in Italian, a language she had studied for many years, her life as a reader--and writer--took a surprising turn. Complete immersion in this rich literary heritage brought fresh insight and
unexpected freedom.

This collection brings together forty writers who have shaped her love of the Italian language and profound appreciation for its literature. More than half of the stories featured in this volume have been translated into English for the first time, and the wide-ranging selection includes well-known authors such as Italo Calvino, Elsa Morante, and Luigi Pirandello alongside many captivating rediscoveries.

Poets, journalists, visual artists, musicians, editors, critics, teachers, scientists, politicians, translators: the writers that inhabit these pages represent a dynamic cross-section of Italian society. Together they reflect more than a hundred years of Italy's vibrant and diverse short-story tradition, their powerful voices resonating through regional landscapes, private passions, and the dramatic political events of the twentieth century.
