  • <p>A NEW YORK REVIEW BOOKS ORIGINAL</p> <p>Mavis Gallant is a contemporary legend, a frequent contributor to <em>The New Yorker</em>for close to fifty years who has, in the words of <em>The New York Times</em>, "radically reshaped the short story for decade after decade." Michael Ondaatje's new selection of Gallant's work gathers some of the most memorable of her stories set in Europe and Paris, where Gallant has long lived. Mysterious, funny, insightful, and heartbreaking, these are tales of expatriates and exiles, wise children and straying saints. Together they compose a secret history, at once intimate and panoramic, of modern times.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

  • <p><strong>Los mejores relatos de una de las grandes cuentistas contempor?neas, a la que Alice Munro consider? su maestra.</strong></p> <p>≪Los cuentos no son un cap?tulo de una novela. No tendr?an que ser le?dos de corrido, como si una historia fuera la prolongaci?n de otra. Lean uno, cierren el libro, lean algo distinto y vuelvan luego. Los cuentos pueden esperar...≫</p> <p>Con estas palabras, Mavis Gallant cierra el pr?logo a una colecci?n de cuentos extraordinaria, por primera vez publicada en su conjunto en Espa?a, donde la escritora canadiense ha reunido lo mejor de su producci?n y ha seleccionado personalmente las piezas m?s queridas.</p> <p>Los treinta y cinco relatos aqu? reunidos dan una idea cabal del talento de Gallant, una artista que Alice Munro considera su maestra. Los temas tratados son muchos, y por eso quiz? valga la pena seguir el consejo de la autora: pasamos despacio de las reflexiones de una mujer abandonada por el marido que se empe?a en per...

  • <p><strong>A collection of over thirty short stories by one of the greatest fiction writers in American history, now available in a single volume for the first time ever.</strong></p> <p>The immensity of Gallant's achievement still seems insufficiently recognized. Alice Munro's Nobel notwithstanding, Gallant may in fact have been the best pure story writer since the early-1950s prime of Cheever, Welty, and Flannery O'Connor, and even in such august company, Gallant's stories are sui generis. They do something different than perfecting the tradition or stretching the boundaries of what the form can do. For all their expansiveness, Gallant's stories constitute a striking and almost avant-garde reduction: in reading her, one feels like they discover something about what a short story really <em>is</em> and <em>isn't</em>ーabout what is necessary, and what is sufficient.</p> <p><em>The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant</em> includes over thirty stories never...

  • <p>This generous collection of fifty-two stories, selected from across her prolific career by the author, includes a preface in which she discusses the sources of her art.</p> <p>A widely admired master of the short story, Mavis Gallant was a Canadian-born writer who lived in France and died in 2014 at the age of ninety-one. Her more than one hundred stories, most published in <em>The New Yorker</em> over five decades beginning in 1951, have influenced generations of writers and earned her comparisons to Anton Chekhov, Henry James, and George Eliot. She has been hailed by Michael Ondaatje as “one of the great story writers of our time.”</p> <p>With irony and an unfailing eye for the telling detail, Gallant weaves stories of spare complexity, often pushing the boundaries of the form in boldly unconventional directions. The settings in <em>The</em> <em>Collected Stories</em> range from Paris to Berlin to Switzerland, from the Italian Riviera to the C?te d’Azur, a...

  • <p>Venecia, Cannes y Paris componen el falsamente glamouroso escenario de la vida de Florence McCarthy Harris, una muchacha americana que pasa su juventud viajando por Europa y viviendo de la caridad de los familiares de la mano de su madre, Bonnie, que, a causa de su divorcio, no pod?a soportar ya seguir viviendo en Am?rica. Mientras asistimos al atribulado descenso a la locura de Flor, ser?n cuatro las voces que, a modo de un cuadro cubista, se superpondr?n y revelar?n la realidad fracturada de una joven que es arrastrada por su madre a una vida de movimiento constante en un continente desconocido. Una novela sobre la naturaleza humana que, enmarcada en una enfermiza relaci?n maternofilial, trata con gran delicadeza sobre la necesidad de un hogar y la fragilidad que supone el desarraigo.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

  • <p>Mavis Gallant is the modern master of what Henry James called the international story, the fine-grained evocation of the quandaries of people who must make their way in the world without any place to call their own. The irreducible complexity of the very idea of home is especially at issue in the stories Gallant has written about Montreal, where she was born, although she has lived in Paris for more than half a century.</p> <p><em>Varieties of Exile</em>, Russell Banks's extensive new selection from Gallant's work, demonstrates anew the remarkable reach of this writer's singular art. Among its contents are three previously uncollected stories, as well as the celebrated semi-autobiographical sequence about Linnet Muirーstories that are wise, funny, and full of insight into the perils and promise of growing up and breaking loose.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックし...

  • <p>Shirley Perrigny tiene veintisiete a?os, es canadiense y vive como expatriada en Par?s. Ha perdido un marido, pero pronto se ha procurado otro, Philippe, un periodista franc?s de lo m?s adecuado y exitoso. Despreciada por los parisinos y sermoneada por sus compatriotas canadienses, no puede evitar citar a Jane Austen y Kingsley Amis ante cualquier situaci?n que se le presente. Adem?s, es una experta en utilizar su miop?a como arma de defensa contra las agotadoras agresiones sociales que parece no dejar de sufrir. Felizmente, a medida que las ataduras que cre?a inalterables comienzan a desaparecer, su aut?ntica personalidad sale a luz, y quien antes era v?ctima ahora abandona su desgracia y de ella brota una radiante mujer llena de cualidades.

  • <p><strong>AN NYRB CLASSICS ORIGINAL</strong></p> <p>Mavis Gallant’s novels are as memorable as her renowned short stories. Full of wit and psychological poignancy, <em>A Fairly Good Time</em>, here with <em>Green Water,</em> <em>Green Sky</em>, encapsulates Gallant’s unparalleled skill as a storyteller.</p> <p>Shirley Perrigny (n?e Norrington, then briefly Higgins), the heroine of <em>A Fairly Good Time</em>, is an original. Derided by the Parisians she lives among and chided by her fellow Canadians, this young widowーrecently remarried to a French journalist named Philippeーis fond of quoting Jane Austen and Kingsley Amis and of using her myopia as a defense against social aggression. As the fixed points in Shirley’s life begin to recedeーPhilippe having apparently though not definitively leftーher freewheeling, makeshift, and self-abnegating ways come to seem an aspect of devotion to her fellow man. Could this unreliable protagonist be the unwitting ...

  • <p>With a confidante’s insights, Marta Dvo??k sets up an innovative connection between Mavis Gallant’s dazzling writing and the whole spectrum of the arts. She simultaneously engages with the feats of art making and the adventures of reading, looking, and listening.</p> <p>Drawing on private correspondence and conversations with the Gallant she repositionsas a late modernist, Dvo??kinvestigates the relationships between the Paris-based master of the short story and visual and sound culture. Through the filter of philosophical aesthetics, she identifies thepainterly, cinematic, and musical dynamics which light up Gallant’s craft. At the same time, she opens a dialogue between Gallant and other international modernists and with those they were reading, watching, and listening to, from the moving pictures which shaped Gallant’s generation to the rhythm and dissonance of, say, Stravinsky and jazz, which ー like the Cubist rupture with spatial perspective ー spearheaded modernity’s...

  • <p>A New York Review Books Original</p> <p>Mavis Gallant is renowned as one of the great short-story writers of our day. This new gathering of long-unavailable or previously uncollected work presents stories from 1951 to 1971 and shows Gallant's progression from precocious virtuosity, to accomplished artistry, to the expansive innovatory spirit that marks her finest work.</p> <p>"Madeleine's Birthday," the first of Gallant's many stories to be published in The New Yorker, pairs off a disaffected teenager, abandoned by her social-climbing mother, with a complacent middle-aged suburban housewife, in a subtly poignant comedy of miscommunication that reveals both characters to be equally adrift. "The Cost of Living," the extraordinary title story, is about a company of strangers, shipwrecked over a chilly winter in a Parisian hotel and bound to one another by animosity as much as by unexpected love.</p> <p>Set in Paris, New York, the Riviera, and Montreal and full of scrup...

  • <p>Mavis Gallant’s only play, which premiered at Toronto’s Tarragon Theatre on November 11, 1982, is a comedy that opens in 1942, in the heat of the battle against Fascism, when it was possible for Canadians to cheer for both Stalin and the Royal Family. At home in Montreal, Jenny (18) is impressed by her friend Molly’s copy of a political pamphlet written by V. I. Lenin entitled What Is To Be Done? The two young women are fascinated by the refugees who are flooding into the city from Europe, and they spend their spare time on left-wing political activity in support of the Soviet Union, dreaming of the new world they’re certain will arise out of the ashes of the war. Drawing on Mavis Gallant’s unpublished journals, the introduction by Linda Leith situates the play in the context of the author’s life and work. “Before she left for Europe in 1950, Gallant destroyed all the poems and stories she had been writing, along with all the diaries she had kept. In the Linnet Muir of the Mont...
