Andorra: A Novel

For mysterious reasons, a man forsakes his American life and arrives in a strange country called Andorra. He settles into the grand--and only--hotel in its seaside capital, and gradually makes the aquaintance of this tiny city's most prominent residents: the ancient Mrs. Reinhardt, who has a lifetime lease on the penthouse in the hotel; Sophonsobia Quay, the kayaking matriarch of an Andorran dynasty; and the Ricky Dents, an Australian couple who share a first name, a gigantic dog, and a volatile secret. As the stranger reveals himself to his new friends, and becomes entangled in their lives, the mystery of his own origin deepens. What is he hiding, and why? And when a mutilated dead body appears in the harbor, everyone is a suspect, including our narrator. Part thriller, part comedy of manners, part surrealistic dream, Andorra is "a work of remarkable and sustained invention and imagination . . . a nearly perfect book" (Robert Drake, The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Andraizea

Haizea nora, burua hara. Haizeak nondik jotzen duen, hara joaten zaigu sarri burua. Nora doanik gabe gehienetan, mahai gainean oharrik utzi gabe. Izan daiteke lepo gainean egoteaz aspertu delako; izan daiteke lepoaz haragoko lurretan zer dagoen jakiteko irrikagatik. Gozoa da buruari joaten uztea, burua joan zaigula besteei sinetsaraztea, geure erokeria propioaren protagonista komiko bihurtzea. Dramari adarra jotzea. Eta barre egitea; joandako buruaz, eta lepo gainean irudimenak hutsuneari emandako zaplaztekoez. Gozoa da ni ez naizen hori izatera jolastea, nireak ez diren galtzetan ipurdia sartzea, uste dudanaren, dakidanaren eta jakin nahi ez dudanaren artean oreka galtzea. Gozoa da aspertu nahi izatea, parekoa begiz jatea, izara-arteko pixoihalak mamu bihurtzea. Gozoa da sinesten ez duzun hura sinetsaraztea. Eta gozoa da kontatzea, barka zenbatzea; bizitza kontatu bai, baina, bizitza ere zenbatu daitekeela ziurtatzea, bihotz erdika bihotz erdika. Dena ziurtatzea, ezer sinetsi ez arren.

Andre Bazin on Adaptation: Cinema's Literary Imagination

Adaptation was central to André Bazin’s lifelong query: What is cinema? Placing films alongside literature allowed him to identify the aesthetic and sociological distinctiveness of each medium. More importantly, it helped him wage his campaign for a modern conception of cinema, one that owed a great deal to developments in the novel. The critical genius of one of the greatest film and cultural critics of the twentieth century is on full display in this collection, in which readers are introduced to Bazin's foundational concepts of the relationship between film and literary adaptation. Expertly curated and with an introduction by celebrated film scholar Dudley Andrew, the book begins with a selection of essays that show Bazin’s film theory in action, followed by reviews of films adapted from renowned novels of the day (Conrad, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Colette, Sagan, Duras, and others) as well as classic novels of the nineteenth century (Bronte, Melville, Tolstoy, Balzac, Hugo, Zola, Stendhal, and more). As a bonus, two hundred and fifty years of French fiction are put into play as Bazin assesses adaptation after adaptation to determine what is at stake for culture, for literature, and especially for cinema. This volume will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in literary adaptation, authorship, classical film theory, French film history, and André Bazin’s criticism.

The story begins in the 2030s. The Great Purge, a plague infinitely worse than Covid, wipes out a large part of the world’s population. After his long convalescence, Andre, a wealthy writer, is now a paraplegic as well as blind. He engages Jared, a solicitous personal care attendant, and manages to remain more or less independent in his boyhood home on the East Coast. <P><P> Andre also invests in android development. After all, androids are very much needed to fill many jobs after the deaths of so many humans. But neither Andre’s motives nor those of a great many others are entirely altruistic. <P><P> The story moves quickly into the worlds of mob bosses, drug deals, prostitution, and even art forgery, but also into the emotional realm of growing attachment between Andre and Jared. <P><P> What people thought were their servants soon get more ambitious ideas, and they move into the world of politics. They twist religious texts into cloaks of respectability and justification for their actions. The results of their power grab, of course, are disastrous for humankind. Only the epilogue offers a hint of rebellion and a ray of hope. <P><P> Succinct, often moving, and chillingly plausible, this is a tale of near–future possibilities that we can only hope are not just over the horizon here in 2023.

He had plenty of money, good looks and was in excellent physical condition. He had loving parents and a brother who was his best friend. The only thing he didn't have was a love of his own.

Was he destined to live along, married to his career; or would he find that one woman to love, who had evaded him for so many years?

Andreas

Andreas is an unfinished and posthumously-published novel of violence and naivety, pathos and melancholy. Set in the eighteenth century, it tells the story of a young Viennese aristocrat who intends to travel alone to Venice as the first stage of his 'Grand Tour';. On his journey, he acquires an unsavoury servant who unleashes a trail of destruction and violence, which taints and corrupts Andreas' first experience of love. Andreas' loss of innocence takes place in the misty alleyways and gloomy palaces of La Serenissima, whose masked inhabitants confuse and entice him, the women either madonnas or whores indistinguishable behind their masks.

Andreas Vesalius and his Fabrica, 1537-1564: Changing the World of Anatomy (Palgrave Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Medicine)

This monograph presents a study of the most significant book in the history of anatomy, Fleming Andreas Vesalius’ (1514-1564) De humani corporis fabrica. Vesalius’ Fabrica was immediately recognised as changing the view of the human body when it was published in 1543, and it remains iconic today. Despite this, little has been written about Vesalius’ later revisions and corrections to the work, as well as his annotations leading up to the book. The author addresses this lacuna by examining the Fabrica from its inception in Paris in the 1530s, through its publication in 1543, to subsequent revisions and its present status as an expensive treasure. The book also contains new discoveries about the period of Vesalius’ earliest publications from 1537-8, the printing and production of the 1543 Fabrica, and the extensive remaking of the 1555 edition. Chapters also explore Vesalius’ background in new humanist medicine and anatomical teaching in Paris and Italy, the verbal message that the Fabrica was intended to convey, and the immediate responses to the book.
