Lamberto, Lamberto, Lamberto
From Gianni Rodari, the father of modern Italian children’s literature, comes a pithy, humorous tale about life and death, health and wealth . . . and bandits and balloons! A refreshed translation from Batchelder Award–winner Antony Shugaar, illustrated with all-new art from Roman Muradov “Gianni Rodari gave free rein to his imagination, with inspired panache and gleeful lightness. At the same time, he had a precise and meticulous love for detail, for rich and exact language, and so all of his inventions are set in a very concrete world with real form and action.” —Italo Calvino Baron Lamberto is very old, very rich, and very sick. He lives in a villa on a private island in the middle of Lake Orta, tended to by his trusty butler, Anselmo, who keeps track of the baron’s 24 maladies, 24 banks, and endless eccentricities. After a mysterious trip to Egypt, the baron hires six people to take up residence in the attic of his villa. Their only task? To repeat his name, “Lamberto, Lamberto,

Louis Lambert, Ljudbok
Louis Lambert is an 1832 novel by French novelist and playwright Honoré de Balzac, included in the Études philosophiques section of his novel sequence La Comédie humaine.Set mostly in a school at Vendôme, it examines the life and theories of a boy genius fascinated by the Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772).The novel contains a minimal plot, focusing mostly on the metaphysical ideas of its boy-genius protagonist and his only friend (eventually revealed to be Balzac himself). Although it is not a significant example of the realist style for which Balzac became famous, the novel provides insight into the author’s own childhood. Specific details and events from the author’s life – including punishment from teachers and social ostracism – suggest a fictionalized autobiography.While he was a student at Vendôme, Balzac wrote an essay called Traité de la Volonté (”Treatise on the Will”); it is described in the novel as being written by Louis Lambert. The essay discusses the philosophy of Swedenborg and others, although Balzac did not explore many of the metaphysical concepts until much later in his life. Ideas analyzed in the essay and elsewhere in the novel include the split between inward and outward existence; the presence of angels and spiritual enlightenment; and the interplay between genius and madness.Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist and playwright. His magnum opus was a sequence of short stories, La Comédie humaine. Many of Balzac's works have been made into or have inspired films, and they are a continuing source of inspiration for writers, filmmakers and critics.Before and during his career as a writer, he attempted to be a publisher, printer, businessman, critic, and politician; he failed in all of these efforts. La Comédie humaine reflects his real-life difficulties, and includes scenes from his own experience.

Vinnare av Sveriges Radios Romanpris 2016! Mary P. är 23 år och studerar arkitektur i ett land regerat av militären. Hon har en pojkvän som är politiskt aktiv och planerar en revolt. En novembernatt 1973 grips hon för statsfientlig verksamhet. Under tretton dygn hålls hon på säkerhetstjänstens beryktade högkvarter, stället med Himlen och Minus Två. Sedan skickas hon, några andra kvinnor och en pojke till en fängelseö. De skall städa inför ankomsten av nya fångar. Tillvaron är utsatt, samhörigheten det enda de kan lita på. Till slut återstår bara frågan: Vem bestämmer över ett liv? Aris Fioretos nya roman är en passionshistoria om en ung människas frihetslängtan, en berättelse om politiskt våld och kvinnors gemenskap. Men framför allt handlar den om en kropp - dess smärta och åtrå, dess längtan och hemligaste förvandlingar.
