Una serie unica nel suo genere, Seasonal Quartet di Ali Smith è un tour de force su amore, tempo, arte, politica e su come viviamo oggi. L'inverno? Tetro. Vento gelido, terra come ferro, acqua come pietra, così dice la vecchia canzone. I giorni più corti, le notti più lunghe. Gli alberi sono spogli e tremanti. Le foglie dell'estate? Rifiuti morti. Il mondo si restringe; la linfa affonda. Ma l'inverno rende le cose visibili. E se c'è ghiaccio, ci sarà fuoco. In Winter di Ali Smith, la forza vitale è all'altezza della più dura delle stagioni. In questo secondo romanzo del suo acclamato ciclo Seasonal, il seguito del suo sensazionale Autumn, Smith getta uno sguardo allegro su un'era post-verità tetra con una storia radicata nella storia, nella memoria e nel calore, la cui radice è profonda nei sempreverdi: arte, amore, risate. È la stagione che ci insegna a sopravvivere. Ecco che arriva Winter. Scopri tutte e quattro le puntate: Autunno, Inverno, Primavera ed Estate. Il nuovo romanzo di Ali Smith, Companion piece, è disponibile per il pre-ordine ora. *****'Abbastanza abbagliante. Anche nel cupo inverno, Smith è sempreverde' Daily Telegraph 'Grazioso, malizioso, gioioso. Infuso di un po' di umorismo, felicità e speranza tanto necessari' Independent 'Un romanzo di grande ferocia, tenerezza e generosità di spirito. Luminosamente bello' Observer.

Ali Smith was born in Inverness in 1962. She is the author of several novels and short story collections including, The Accidental, Hotel World, How to Be Both and the Seasonal Quartet.

Winter? Bleak. Frosty wind, earth as iron, water as stone, so the old song goes. The shortest days, the longest nights. The trees are bare and shivering. The summer's leaves? Dead litter.
The world shrinks; the sap sinks.
But winter makes things visible. And if there's ice, there'll be fire.
In Ali Smith's Winter, lifeforce matches up to the toughest of the seasons. In this second novel in her acclaimed Seasonal cycle, the follow-up to her sensational Autumn, Smith's shape-shifting quartet of novels casts a merry eye over a bleak post-truth era with a story rooted in history, memory and warmth, its taproot deep in the evergreens: art, love, laughter.
It's the season that teaches us survival.
Here comes Winter.
