Livres de André Aciman
Quinze ans plus tard, Elio rend visite à Oliver en Nouvelle-Angleterre. Il est nerveux à l’idée de rencontrer la femme et les enfants de ce dernier, mais les deux hommes comprennent finalement que la mémoire transforme tout, même l’histoire d’un premier grand amour. Quelques années plus tard, ils se rendent ensemble à la maison en Italie où ils se sont aimés et évoquent la mémoire du père d’Elio, décédé depuis.
Appelle-moi par ton nom est un roman d’amour singulier tout autant qu’une réflexion sur la mémoire et l’oubli. La langue à la fois précise et sensuelle d’André Aciman parvient à évoquer la tyrannie des corps – mais aussi la part de brutalité qui se niche dans tout éveil au sentiment amoureux – avec une élégance rare.
Ce roman, devenu culte dans le monde anglo-saxon à l’instar de Brokeback Mountain, est adapté au cinéma par Luca Guadagnino (sortie française le 28 février 2018). Call me by your name est donné comme l'un des favoris pour les oscars.
In this spellbinding new exploration of the varieties of love, the author of Call Me by Your Name lets us back into his characters' lives years after their first meeting
In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio's father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, now a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train upends Sami's visit and changes his life forever.
Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic.
Aciman is a master of sensibility, of the intimate details and the nuances of emotion that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the world of one of our greatest contemporary romances to show us that in fact true love never dies.

An Instant Classic and One of the Great Love Stories of Our Time
Andre Aciman's Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents’ cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. Each is unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, when, during the restless summer weeks, unrelenting currents of obsession, fascination, and desire intensify their passion and test the charged ground between them. Recklessly, the two verge toward the one thing both fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. It is an instant classic and one of the great love stories of our time.
Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Ficition

Cinq ans ont passé depuis la fin de l’histoire d’amour entre Oliver et Elio quand nous croisons Samuel, le père de ce dernier. A bord du train pour Rome, où il veut rendre visite à son fils, Samuel engage la conversation avec une jeune femme, nommée Miranda. A l’arrivée dans la capitale italienne, il n’oublie pas tout à fait Elio, mais il veut surtout passer du temps avec celle qu’il vient de rencontrer. Tous les deux possèdent de bonnes raisons de ne pas vouloir s’engager, et pourtant...
Cinq ans plus tard, nous retrouvons Elio installé à Paris. Sa carrière de pianiste l’occupe à plein temps. Lorsqu’un homme plus âgé l’aborde à la fin d’un concert, il est attiré et accepte de le revoir ; mais quelque chose le retient. Car le souvenir d’Oliver - qu’il croyait avoir oublié - lui revient avec force.
Ce dernier, encore quelques années après, vit entouré de sa famille et de ses collègues professeurs. Mais un soir de fête à New York, lui aussi ressent le besoin de renouer avec Elio, de l’entendre, et peut-être, de traverser l’Atlantique pour le revoir.
André Aciman excelle dans la peinture nuancée de nos sentiments et de nos contradictions. Comment définir la quintessence de la passion, comment faire face à ses variations ? Trouve-moi pose la question du grand amour et de la pérennité des sentiments alors même que la vie nous pousse dans d’autres directions.
Traduit de l'anglais (États-Unis) par Anne Damour
À travers le récit d’une vie où les êtres aimés se suivent, se rencontrent ou s’entrechoquent parfois – comme autant de variations sur un thème – André Aciman nous interroge sur l'énigme de nos désirs, de nos amours, de nos vies. Son écriture est sensuelle, mais aussi porteuse d’une mélancolie profonde. Car si son narrateur, Paul, observe et évoque les corps avec minutie, il se fait aussi le chroniqueur du temps qui passe, et du désir qui naît, s’étiole puis s’éteint. Lorsqu'il réfléchit aux rêves avortés de nos existences, difficile ne pas céder à l'émotion. Les variations sentimentales est un livre exceptionnel, bouleversant.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name and Find Me, a memoir of an extraordinary life.
'[A] mesmerizing portrait of a now vanished world. Aciman's story of Alexandria is the story of his own family, a Jewish family with Italian and Turkish roots that tied its future to Egypt and made its home there for three generations, only to find itself peremptorily expelled by the Government in the early 1960's. It is the story of a fractious clan of dreamers and con men and the emotional price they would pay for exile, the story of a young boy's coming of age and his memories of the city he loved in his youth.
Writing in lucid, lyrical prose, Mr. Aciman does an exquisite job of conjuring up the daily rhythms and rituals of his family's life: their weekly trips to the movies, their daily jaunts to the beach, their internecine squabbles over everything from religion to money to the pronunciation of words. There are some wonderfully vivid scenes here, as strange and marvelous as something in Garcia Marquez, as comical and surprising as something in Chekhov.' Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
Aciman's latest novel, Find Me, is now available for preorder in paperback.
A Boston Globe Best Nonfiction Book of 2011
Celebrated as one of the most poignant stylists of his generation, André Aciman has written a luminous series of linked essays about time, place, identity, and art that show him at his very finest. From beautiful and moving pieces about the memory evoked by the scent of lavender; to meditations on cities like Barcelona, Rome, Paris, and New York; to his sheer ability to unearth life secrets from an ordinary street corner, Alibis reminds the reader that Aciman is a master of the personal essay.
A LUSHLY ROMANTIC NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF CALL ME BY YOUR NAME
Eight White Nights is an unforgettable journey through that enchanted terrain where passion and fear and the sheer craving to ask for love and to show love can forever alter who we are. A man in his late twenties goes to a large Christmas party in Manhattan where a woman introduces herself with three words: "I am Clara."
Over the following seven days, they meet every evening at the same cinema. Overwhelmed yet cautious, he treads softly and won't hazard a move. The tension between them builds gradually, marked by ambivalence, hope, and distrust. As André Aciman explores their emotions with uncompromising accuracy and sensuous prose, they move both closer together and farther apart, culminating on New Year's Eve in a final scene charged with magic and the promise of renewal.
Call Me by Your Name, Aciman's debut novel, established him as one of the finest writers of our time, an expert at the most sultry depictions of longing and desire. As The Washington Post Book World wrote, "The beauty of Aciman's writing and the purity of his passions should place this extraordinary first novel within the canon of great romantic love stories for everyone."
Aciman's piercing and romantic new novel is a brilliant performance from a master prose stylist.
Bassani's six classic books, collected for the first time in English as the epic masterwork they were intended to be.
Set in the northern Italian town of Ferrara before, during, and after the Second World War, The Novel of Ferrara brings together Bassani's six classic books, fully revised as a single volume by the author at the end of his life: Within the Walls, The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles, The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, Behind the Door, The Heron and The Smell of Hay. These interlocking stories present a fully rounded world of unforgettable characters, memorializing not only the Ferrarese people, but the city itself, which assumes a character and a voice deeply inflected by the Jewish community to which the narrator belongs.
'Exquisite . . . from his boyhood Ferrara and the families he knew, Bassani has carved out a corner of Italy that rises above regionalism with fiction that can stand alongside the most lingering written in Europe to day' The New York Times
Un viaje por los rincones más profundos de los sentimientos y del erotismo.
Llámame por tu nombre ha sido galardonada con el Lambda Literary Award, mejor Libro del Año según The Washington Post y Publishers Weekly y es la novela en la que se basa la película Call me by your name.
En una localidad de la costa de Italia, durante la década de los ochenta, la familia de Elio instauró la tradición de recibir en el verano a estudiantes o creadores jóvenes que, a cambio de alojamiento, ayudaran al cabeza de familia, catedrático, en sus compromisos culturales.
Oliver es el elegido este verano, un joven escritor norteamericano que pronto excita la imaginación de Elio. Durante las siguientes semanas, los impulsos ocultos de obsesión y miedo, fascinación y deseo intensificarán su pasión.
Reseñas:
«No hay chispa como la del amor que empieza. Y se enciende enseguida, entre libros y árboles; Llámame por tu nombre es frutal, sensual y luminosa como un verano en Lombardía.»
Ana Abelenda, La Voz de Asturias
«Leer a André Aciman es como enamorarse.»
Xavi Ayén, La Vanguardia
«La belleza de la prosa de Aciman y la pureza de sus pasiones hallan su lugar en esta extraordinaria primera novela inscrita dentro de los cánones de las grandes historias de amor para todos los públicos.»
The Washington Post
«La primera novela de Aciman nos lo muestra como un perspicaz gramático del deseo.»
The New York Times
«Una gran historia de amor... Cada frase, cada dolor, cada vertiginosa ráfaga de emoción en esta maravillosa novela es convincente.»
The Seattle Times
«Llámame por tu nombre no es una historia de amor. Es quizás la historia de amor más bonita, tierna, sensual y pura que se haya escrito.»

En los blogs...
«Sensible, compleja y dura, así es Llámame por tu nombre. Una montaña rusa de emociones que nos transporta al primer amor, a las tardes de verano, al fantasma de lo que anhelamos y nunca llegamos a tener, o tuvimos pero ahora parece efímero. Desde la primera hasta la última página, la novela nos transporta a un escenario del que el lector solo puede salir anímicamente destrozado. Una pequeña joya.»

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name and Find Me, now available to preorder in paperback.
From a youthful infatuation with a cabinet maker in a small Italian fishing village, to a passionate yet sporadic affair with a woman in New York, to an obsession with a man he meets at a tennis court, Enigma Variations charts one man's path through the great loves of his life. Paul's intense desires, losses and longings draw him closer, not to a defined orientation, but to an understanding that 'heartache, like love, like low-grade fevers, like the longing to reach out and touch a hand across the table, is easy enough to live down'.
André Aciman casts a shimmering light over each facet of desire, to probe how we ache, want and waver, and ultimately how we sometimes falter and let go of the very ones we want the most. We may not know what we want. We may remain enigmas to ourselves and to others. But sooner or later we discover who we've always known we were.
