Bøger af Annie Proulx

I Annie Proulx’ mesterlige historier er livet råt og hårdt, landskabet stort og åbent. Som den betagende natur, fortællingerne udspiller sig i, drives bogens personer af en kompromisløs og kraftfuld energi. Her er vanviddet og ensomheden på spil, men også den uforudsigelige og svimlende kærlighed.I denne kritikerroste samling findes fortællingen bag den prisbelønnede storfilm Brokeback Mountain. Som det sker her, oplever vi i flere af historierne humor og skønhed i et møde med smerte og desperation, der vidner om en dyb og elementær menneskelighed."Proulx skriver, så man formeligt mærker vinden, kulden i knoglerne, volden i kroppen, tømmermænd og skægstubbene på hagen – hun kan virkelig skrive sig ind i de her mandekroppe."*****Berlingske Tidende

The inspiration behind 'Life of Pi' director Ang Lee's 'Brokeback Mountain' is one of the short stories to be found in this haunting collection of Wyoming tales.'Brokeback Mountain' is set in the beautiful, wild landscape of Wyoming where cowboys live as they have done for generations. Hard, lonely lives in unforgiving country. Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar are two ranch hands, glad to have found each other's company where none had been expected. But companionship becomes something else on Brokeback Mountain, something not looked for - an intimacy neither can forget.'Brokeback Mountain' was made into an Academy Award-winning film by Ang Lee, and starred Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway.

LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2017 A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR From Annie Proulx, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Shipping News and Brokeback Mountain, comes her masterwork: an epic, dazzling, violent, magnificently dramatic novel about the taking down of the world's forests.

The third novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'The Shipping News', 'Accordion Crimes' spans generations, continents and a century and confirms the hallucinatory power of Proulx's writing.'Accordion Crimes' is a masterpiece of story-telling that spans a century and a continent. It opens in 1890 in Sicily, when an accordion-maker and his son, carrying little more than his finest button accordion, begin their voyage to the teeming, violent port of New Orleans. Within a year, the accordion-maker is murdered by an anti-Italian lynch mob, but his instrument carries the novel into another community of immigrants: German-Americans founding a new town in South Dakota. Moving from South Dakota to Texas, from Montana to Maine, the nine instantly compelling and intricately connected sections of the novel illuminate the lives of the founders of a nation, descendants of Mexicans, Poles, Germans, Irish, Scots and Franco-Canadians. Through the music of the accordion they express their fantasies, sorrows and exuberance.

Annie Proulx, the novelist, first wrote this guide to making cider in 1980. It is a comprehensive, illustrated overview of the process and includes recipes for using the finished product in cooking. Proulx and Lew Nichols also discuss apple presses, glass bottles versus wooden barrels and storage.

From Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner Annie Proulx comes a stellar collection of short stories set in Wyoming.

Two handsomely produced editions of this award-winning story coincide with the release of the major independent film directed by Ang Lee and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger.

E. Annie Proulx's "Accordion Crimes" is a masterpiece of storytelling that spans a century and a continent. Proulx brings the immigrant experience in America to life through the eyes of the descendants of Mexicans, Poles, Africans, Irish-Scots, Franco-Canadians and many others, all linked by their successive ownership of a simple green accordion. The music they make is their last link with the past -- voice for their fantasies, sorrows and exuberance. Proulx's prodigious knowledge, unforgettable characters and radiant language make "Accordion Crimes" a stunning novel, exhilarating in its scope and originality.

Novellene i denne samlingen strekker seg over århundrene og fanger opp historiene til dem som har prøvd å skape et liv i Wyoming, fra de innfødte indianerstammene, til cowboyene og settlerne, fram til dagens rancheiere og småbønder i oljeboomens tidsalder, med et par avstikkere ned i selveste Helvetet. Dette er forfatterens tredje samling av Wyoming-historier.

Novellix – Stor litteratur i et lille formatEn æske fuld af kærlighed; med alle begrebets mange facetter. Set udefra kan den være ubegribelig. Set indefra kan den være sindsforstyrrende. Den kan være socialt uacceptabel, fatal, umulig! Og ikke mindst kan den være en helt udefinerbar størrelse, der gennemsyrer alt i alle relationer. Her får du fire fortællinger af fire vidt forskellige forfattere – storslåede på hver deres måde: novellemesteren Raymond Carver, litteraturfornyeren James Joyce, samtidsgeniet Sara Stridsberg og nyklassiske Annie Proulx’ Brokeback Mountain – forlægget for den Oscar-vindende storfilm fra 2005.Æsken indeholder fire bøger:James Joyce – Et smerteligt tilfældeRaymond Carver – Hvad vi taler om, når vi taler om kærlighedAnnie Proulx – Brokeback MountainSara Stridsberg – American Hotel
