Описание: It’s December 23, 1971, and heavy weather is forecast for Chicago. Russ Hildebrandt, the associate pastor of a liberal suburban church, is on the brink of breaking free of a marriage he finds joyless – unless his wife, Marion, who has her own secret life, beats him to it. Their eldest child, Clem, is coming home from college on fire with moral absolutism, having taken an action that will shatter his father. Clem’s sister, Becky, long the social queen of her high-school class, has sharply veered into the counterculture, while their brilliant younger brother Perry, who’s been selling drugs to seventh-graders, has resolved to be a better person. Each of the Hildebrandts seeks a freedom that each of the others threatens to complicate. Jonathan Franzen’s novels are celebrated for their unforgettably vivid characters and their keen-eyed take on the complexities of contemporary America. Now, for the first time, in Crossroads, Franzen explores the history of a generation. With characteristic humour and complexity, and with even greater warmth, he conjures a world that feels no less immediate. A tour de force of interwoven perspectives and sustained suspense, Crossroads is the story of a Midwestern family at a historical moment of moral crisis. Jonathan Franzen’s gift for melding the small picture and the big picture has never been more dazzlingly evident.

Описание:

Jonathan Franzen's gift for wedding depth and vividness of character with breadth of social vision has never been more dazzlingly evident than in Crossroads.

It's December 23, 1971, and heavy weather is forecast for Chicago. Russ Hildebrandt, the associate pastor of a liberal suburban church, is on the brink of breaking free of a marriage he finds joyless--unless his wife, Marion, who has her own secret life, beats him to it. Their eldest child, Clem, is coming home from college on fire with moral absolutism, having taken an action that will shatter his father. Clem's sister, Becky, long the social queen of her high-school class, has sharply veered into the counterculture, while their brilliant younger brother Perry, who's been selling drugs to seventh graders, has resolved to be a better person. Each of the Hildebrandts seeks a freedom that each of the others threatens to complicate.

Jonathan Franzen's novels are celebrated for their unforgettably vivid characters and for their keen-eyed take on contemporary America. Now, in Crossroads, Franzen ventures back into the past and explores the history of two generations. With characteristic humor and complexity, and with even greater warmth, he conjures a world that resonates powerfully with our own.

A tour de force of interwoven perspectives and sustained suspense, its action largely unfolding on a single winter day, Crossroads is the story of a Midwestern family at a pivotal moment of moral crisis. Jonathan Franzen's gift for melding the small picture and the big picture has never been more dazzlingly evident.

From THE NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of The Corrections and Freedom

New York Times Bestselling Author
National Book Award Winner

"Jonathan Franzen, an abundantly gifted writer, has even more nerve than talent" (The New York Times), and he refuses to play it safe in this bold, layered ecological thriller.

Louis Holland arrives in Boston in a spring of strange happenings--earthquakes strike the city, and the first one kills his grandmother. During a bitter feud over the inheritance, Louis falls in love with a young seismologist, Ren e Seitchek, whose theory about the origin of the earthquakes turns his world upside down.

"No doubt about it: Jonathan Franzen . . . is one of the most extraordinary writers around." --Newsweek

"Strong Motion seems for a while like a brilliant chaos. Bit by bit, the chaos settles . . . the brilliant things remain, and the connections among them begin to appear." --Los Angeles Times

Описание:

Howard begins his journey upon the event of him being chosen last for his neighborhood soccer team. He longs to develop his sporty potential and strongly desires for his other talents to be respected and honored. His coach encourages him by offering a new way of thinking about developing his potential. As Howard ponders this on his way home, he encounters a mysterious withered garden that seems to be lifeless. Even though the garden appears to be frozen, Howard experiences an eerie feeling that life is still present. He senses the garden's potential.

Inspired by Howard's innate sensing and validation of the garden's potential, Fairy Gardner appears so that she might share the story of the history of this great garden with someone who is hopeful, open, and sensitive enough to believe in potential. Together Howard and Fairy Gardner go on a quest to discover the garden's characters and their unique learning talents. He also learns of the bullying-type character Prunehilda the Paralyzer and the paralyzing words and actions that she demonstrated to freeze and paralyze the talents that shut the garden down in the first place. Fairy Gardner shares the kind words and actions that spark new life within the garden, and Howard pledges to help nurture its growth as well as use his new understandings to nurture his own potential development.

This children's story uniquely parallels the main character's quest for understanding his own learning potential to a garden with personified characters representing learning qualities, types, and talents. Howard journeys through the secret garden's story of what makes it wither, dry, and freeze as well as the positive words, actions, and mind-sets that made it thrive and nurture its growth. Designed to help learners discover their own learning strength and preferences, this story also assists in suggesting the catalysts that spark and nurture growth in learning as well as negative strategies that tend to hinder the growth of learning potential. A mind map of this story is included to assist parents, educators, and leaders in their own quest to help learners become aware of metacognitive strategies and facilitating discussions about learning qualities and domains. This story is designed to entertain children's curiosity about their own learning as educational stakeholders continue to reimagine and weave the new learning threads of the future into the tapestry of making education meaningful in the future.

Описание:

Stretching from the Midwest at midcentury to the Wall Street and Eastern Europe of today, The Corrections brings an old-fashioned world of civic virtue and sexual inhibitions into violent collision with the era of home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental health care, and globalized greed. Richly realistic, darkly hilarious, deeply humane, it confirms Jonathan Franzen as one of our most brilliant interpreters of American society and the American soul.
