Secondhand, Hardback. , . NB: This is a secondhand book in very good condition. See our FAQs for more information. Please note that the jacket image is indicative only.Author: Bernhard SchlinkFormat: HardbackNumber of Pages: 288Flights of Love consists of seven stories, all of them weaving around the idea of love - why people are drawn into it and why some run away. Schlink in turns shows us love as desire, love as confusion, love as a quick affair, love as a drastic life-changing rebellion, love as a force of habit, love as self-betrayal. The cumulative effect is a book which uses effortlessly beguiling language to examine the universal human desire to find a lasting loving relationship, however thwarted that desire ultimately is.

Knopf-Borzoi Books edition of the translation by John E. Woods (Orig. 1995), acclaimed for his 1993 rendering of "Buddenbrooks". Generally regarded as Mann's magnum opus, "The Magic Mountain" enthralls by its portrayal of men & women in crisis, confronting illness & death, striving to find a sense of self & purpose--and by its brilliance as a metaphor for the 20th century's wider struggle w/ the burden of freedom, the ennui of civilization, & the seduction of totalitarianism. And in Woods' invigoratingly fresh translation we also see something less apparent to a previous generation of readers: how deeply Eros--obsessive desire, forbidden love--courses through every vein of Mann's story. Flooded w/ feelings, w/ powerful evocations of disease, w/ the glories of the natural world & inklings of the supernatural, "The Magic Mountain" is equally remarkable for Mann's treatment of time--the "flatland" time of healthy, active people & the "inelastic present" of the "people up here", for whom illness is a lifelong career. Mann is a master at drawing dazzling characters w/ the finest irony: Settembrini, the impassioned Italian liberal, & Naphta, the caustic Jewish Jesuit, whose opposing world views trap them in a grotesque duel; Mynheer Peeperkorn, the enormously wealthy Dutch planter whose garrulous "personality" all but overwhelms his fellow patients; the blustery Director Behrens & subtle Dr. Krokowski, whose combined energies rule the day & the night pf the Berghof; Claudia Chauchat, the elusive Russian beauty whose slinking charms can awakn forgotten love; and, of course, Hans Castorp himself--the ordinary made extraordinary--whose interior journey leads him out into a blinding snowstorm & a stunning, fleeting moment of revelation; Hans, who is last seen on a battlefield of the Great War--the very conflict toward which every word of the novel has been magnetized. In Woods' translation, this protean work--a vast, intricate tapestry of dramatic, emotional , & intellectual forces--reemerged, nearly 70 years after its original publication in English, as one of the 20th century's greatest masterpieces. * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: JOHN E. WOODS is the distinguished translator of many books--notably Arno Schmidt's "Evening Edged in Gold", for which he won both the American Book Award for translation & the PEN Translation Prize in 1981; Patrick Suskind's "Perfume", for which he again won the PEN Translation Prize in 1987; and many other works, including masterpieces by Thomas Mann: "Buddenbroooks" (1993) & "The Magic Mountain" (1995). * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & to international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL at our quoted below cost rates.
