Описание: After forty years, John Irving returns to the world of his bestselling classic novel and Academy Awardwinning film, The Cider House Rules, revisiting the orphanage in St. Cloud's, Maine, where Dr. Wilbur Larch takes in Esthera Viennese-born Jew whose life is shaped by anti-Semitism. Esther Nacht is born in Vienna in 1905. Her father dies on board the ship to Portland, Maine; her mother is murdered by anti-Semites in Portland. Dr. Larch knows it won't be easy to find a Jewish family to adopt Esther; in fact, he won't find any family who'll adopt her. When Esther is fourteen, soon to be a ward of the state, Dr. Larch meets the Winslows, a philanthropic New England family with a history of providing foster care for unadopted orphans. The Winslows aren't Jewish, but they despise anti-Semitism. Esther's gratitude for the Winslows is unending; even as she retraces her roots back to Vienna, she never stops loving and protecting the Winslows. In the final chapter, set in Jerusalem in 1981, Esther Nacht is seventy-six. John Irving's sixteenth novel is a testament to his enduring ability to weave complex characters and intricate narratives that challenge and captivate. Queen Esther is not just a story of survival but a profound exploration of identity, belonging, and the enduring impact of history on our personal lives showcasing why Irving remains one of the world's most beloved, provocative, and entertaining authorsa storyteller of our time and for all time.

In Aspen, Colorado, in 1941, Rachel Brewster is a slalom skier at the National Downhill and Slalom Championships. Little Ray, as she is called, finishes nowhere near the podium, but she manages to get pregnant. Back home, in New England, Little Ray becomes a ski instructor.

Her son, Adam, grows up in a family that defies conventions and evades questions concerning the eventful past.

Years later, looking for answers, Adam will go to Aspen. In the Hotel Jerome, where he was conceived, Adam will meet some ghosts; in The Last Chairlift, they aren't the first or the last ghosts he sees.

John Irving has written some of the most acclaimed books of our timeamong them, The World According to Garp and The Cider House Rules. A visionary voice on the subject of sexual tolerance, Irving is a bard of alternative families.

In The Last Chairlift, readers will once more be in his thrall.

Описание: Now available again, A rich, wonderful, and diverse look at the creative mind of one of Americas most imaginative and passionate novelists (Denver Post).

Here is a treat for John Irving fans and new readers alike. Trying to Save Piggy Sneed contains a dozen short works by the author, beginning with three memoirs. The longest of the memoirs is The Imaginary Girlfriend, his candid account of his twin careers in writing and wrestling, which, as the Denver Post observed, is filled with anecdotes that are every bit as hilarious as the antics in his novels .

. . [and] combines the lessons of both obsessions.

The middle portion of the book is fiction.

Over a career that spans fourteen novels, these are the six stories that Mr. Irving considers finished. Among them is Interior Space, for which he won the O.

Henry Award. In the third and final section are three homages: one to Gunter Grass and two to Charles Dickens. To each of the twelve pieces, he has contributed authors notes, which provide some perspective on the circumstances surrounding the writing of each piece.

For readers who prefer a hardcover, this commemorative edition is a book to treasure. For readers newto the author of works as moving and mischievous as The World According to Garp,A Prayer for Owen Meany, and In One Person, Trying to Save Piggy Sneed is the perfect introduction.

The edition has a foreword by Susan Cheever that was first published in the twentieth anniversary edition of the hardcover.
