Britannicus, Phaedra, Athaliah


Jean Racine (1639-99) remains to this day the greatest of French poetic dramatists. Britannicus (1669), the first play in this volume, takes its themes from Roman history: the setting is bloody and treacherous court of the Emperor Nero. Phaedra (1677) dramatizes the Greek myth of Phaedra''s doomed love for her stepson Hippolytus. Athaliah (1691), Racine''s last and perhaps finest play, draws on the Old Testament story of Athaliah, Queen of Judah and worshipper of Baal, who is threatened and finally forced to concede victory to Joash, a son of the house of David and survivor of Athaliah''s massacres.Racine''s tragedies portray characters wrestling with ambition, treachery, religion, and love. In this translation, specially commissioned for The World''s Classics series, C.H. Sisson has captured admirably the lucidity of Racine''s language, both analytic and passionate, and the rhythm of his four-part Alexandrine, a combination that previous translators have consistently failed to achieve. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Invisible Years


“It’s impossible to get a single answer from the past. It’s not a key to anything. It’s just a place we go to trick ourselves.”Andrea and Julián haven’t seen one another in twenty-one years—not since the tragic, fateful night their senior year of high school that marked their group of friends forever. A startling phone call brings the two together again in Houston, where they begin to unravel the truth of that year, picking open long scabbed-over wounds from their upper-class adolescence in 1990s Bolivia and the scandal that ripped them apart. A writer unhappy in his career and his marriage, Julián has been novelizing the past for his next book, trying to make meaning out of the events that changed the course of their lives forever. “I’d thought that writing about that time would free me, relieve the burden of the invisible years,” he writes, “but often it seems that it’s done the reverse.” Juxtaposing the naive invincibility of adolescence with the grasping uncertainties of adulthood, The Invisible Years deftly weaves a coming-of-age tale that leaves the reader hanging on every word, even as they know how the cards fall in the end.

Windlake


„Egy tóparti falu a háború után. Egy fiú, aki nem talál szavakat az érzéseire. És egy apa, akinek a csendje nehezebb a haragnál. A tizennyolc éves Sebastian Vesper a felnőtté válás küszöbén keresi a helyét az apja szigora és a barátjához, Noelhez fűződő, megnevezhetetlen érzések miatti bűntudat között. Miközben a hallgatásból lassan szavak lesznek, a tó mindent visszatükröz: vágyat, félelmet és azt a kérdést, hogy hogyan találunk vissza önmagunkhoz ott, ahol nem szokás kimondani az igazságot. A Windlake egy lírai és fájdalmasan őszinte történet a kimondatlan érzésekről, a család fontosságáról, az első szerelemről, és arról, hogy néha az a legnehezebb út, ami visszavezet minket önmagunkhoz.” #szerelem, #vágy, #kimondatlan szavak, #barátság, #család
