A quietly influential force in African American literature and art, Clarence Major makes his Penguin Classics debut with the twenty-fifth-anniversary…
edition of Dirty Bird BluesSet in post-World War II Chicago and Omaha, the novel features Manfred Banks, a young, harmonica-blowing blues singer who is always writing music in his head. Torn between his friendships with fellow musicians and nightclub life and his responsibilities to his wife and child, along with the pressures of dealing with a racist America that assaults him at every turn, Manfred seeks easy answers in "Dirty Bird" (Old Crow whiskey) and in moving on. He moves to Omaha with hopes of better opportunities as a blue-collar worker, but the blues in his soul and the dreams in his mind keep bringing him back to face himself. After a nightmarish descent into his own depths, Manfred emerges with fresh awareness and possibility. Through Manfred, we witness and experience the process by which modern American English has been vitalized and strengthened by the poetry and the poignancy of the African-American experience. As Manfred struggles with the oppressive constraints of society and his private turmoil, his rich inner voice resonates with the blues.

CENTENARIO DE MARCEL PROUST ENTRA EN EL CORAZÓN DE PROUSTUN FABULOSO ACONTECIMIENTO EDITORIAL: EL MANUSCRITO AUTOBIOGRÁFICO, INÉDITO Y LEGENDARIO QUE…
DIO ORIGEN A EN BUSCA DEL TIEMPO PERDIDO «Un documento tierno y excepcional. [...] La magia de Proust ha vuelto».Les Inrockuptibles UNO DE LOS DIEZ LIBROS MÁS ESPERADOS DE 2022 SEGÚN EL MUNDO Y ESQUIRE «Por fin: aquí están los prolegómenos de la gran obra, la aurora boreal del ciclo, el lienzo secreto del fresco, el solar en el que se construyó la catedral de siete pilares, el prefacio del propio Marcel, la búsqueda de En busca del tiempo perdido. [...] Proust ha vuelto, único y visionario como siempre» ( J. Garon, L’Obs). Así han saludado unánimemente los expertos y la crítica el hallazgo de este tesoro literario: un manuscrito mítico que ve la luz tras el fallecimiento de su propietario, Bernard de Fallois. Escritos entre 1907 y 1908, con estos episodios emblemáticos y fundacionales de su obra maestra se penetra por arte de magia en la memoria proustiana como si se tratara de una primigenia autobiografía en la que los personajes y los lugares surgen en toda su desnudez y conservando sus nombres auténticos —la abuela Adèle, la madre Jeanne y un joven Marcel estremecedoramente «humano, amoroso, atento con su familia, fiel y generoso» (A. Compagnon, Le Figaro Littéraire). La crítica ha dicho:«Proust es una de las cumbres de la novela, [su] talento es para caer postrado.»Javier Marías, El Cultural «La historia de los manuscritos de Proust es casi tan apasionante como la novela misma en la que desembocaron.»Antonio Muñoz Molina, Babelia «Un tesoro.»EFE «Uno de esos escritores que no hace falta haber leído para conocerlos, o para creer que se conocen. [...] La famosa magdalena ya despierta un mundo de recuerdos y es hoy un lugar común, casi como los adjetivos dantesco o kafkiano».Marc Bassets, El País «Todo un acontecimiento editorial que sacará a la luz los materiales inéditos que acabaron alumbrado En busca del tiempo perdido. Escritos entre 1907 y 1908 estos episodios son el material primigenio de uno de los mejores libros de la historia, el origen de los personajes (aquí con su nombre auténtico), los lugares y los motivos recurrentes de En busca del tiempo perdido».Alberto Hernando, Esquire «Encontrarse ante la materia prima de En busca del tiempo perdido produce la sensación de que algo misterioso está ocurriendo. [...] El placer de la lectura de estos setenta y cinco folios nace de la contemplación de la verdad que precede a la obra maestra.»Lourdes Ventura, El Cultural «El grial absoluto, la estrella inaccesible para cualquier buscador del tiempo perdido. [...] Esta nueva obra hará las delicias de los aficionados al proustismo y los fascinados por el marcelismo, ambos religiosos del mismo culto».Pierre Assouline, L'Express «Un álbum familiar mucho menos intimidatorio que su más famosa y monumental novela en el que desearán sumergirse de inmediato».Yves Jaeglé, Le Parisien «Estas páginas pueden leerse con el fervor ingenuo de quien descubre una obra desconocida. Este Proust inaugural ya posee el encanto, la sensualidad e incluso la musicalidad del famoso escritor en el que se convertiría».Serge Sanchez, Lire «Proust vuelve a agitar su varita mágica [...] y estamos con él, a su lado, y eso no tiene precio».La République des Livres

inventive collection, a stellar cast of writers uses classic adventure tales as a launch pad for an eclectic mix of prequels, alternate universes, spin-offs, and total reboots. Imagine Ahab is shipwrecked on an island of cannibals, or Mr. Hyde tells his side of the story, or the scarecrow from Oz struggles with the mystery of his existence. By turns wry and haunting, My Name Was Never Frankenstein upends old territory and classic characters to reclaim them for a new generation.“Editor Bryan Furuness explains that while this playful collection of 14 short stories by 14 different writers all have similar jumping off points, ‘they jump in different directions.’ The result is, as Furuness says, ‘wild and grand and strange.’” —Bloom Magazine

A bold new translation that preserves the swiftness, austerity, and clarity of the original."Tell us, Goddess, daughter of Zeus, start…
in your own place:when all the rest at Troy had fled from that steep doomand gone back home, away from war and the salt sea,only this man longed for his wife and a way home."Homer's Odyssey, at once an exciting epic of strife and subterfuge and a deeply felt tale of love and devotion, stands at the very beginning of the Western literary tradition. From ancient Greece to the present day its influence on later literature has been unsurpassed, and for centuries translators have approached the meter, tone, and pace of Homer's poetry with a variety of strategies. Chapman and Pope paid keen attention to color, drama, and vivacity of style, rendering the Greek verse loosely and inventively. In the twentieth century, translators such as Lattimore kept rigorously close to the sense of each word in the original; others, including Fitzgerald and Fagles, have departed further from the language of the original, employing their own inventive modern style.Poet and translator Edward McCrorie now opens new territory in this striking rendition, which captures the spare, powerful tone of Homer's epic while engaging contemporary readers with its brisk pace, idiomatic language, and lively characterization. McCrorie closely reproduces the Greek metrical patterns and employs a diction and syntax that reflects the plain, at times stark, quality of Homer's lines, rather than later English poetic styles. Avoiding both the stiffness of word-for-word literalism and the exaggeration and distortion of free adaptation, this translation dramatically evokes the ancient sound and sense of the poem. McCrorie's is truly an Odyssey for the twenty-first century.To accompany this innovative translation, noted classical scholar Richard Martin has written an accessible and wide-ranging introduction explaining the historical and literary context of the Odyssey, its theological and cultural underpinnings, Homer's poetic strategies and narrative techniques, and his cast of characters. In addition, Martin provides detailed notes—far more extensive than those in other editions—addressing key themes and concepts; the histories of persons, gods, events, and myths; literary motifs and devices; and plot development. Also included is a pronunciation glossary and character index.

and truthful in the twenty-first'An existential, political, literary thriller first published in 1944, Transit explores the plight of the refugee with extraordinary compassion and insight. Having escaped from a Nazi concentration camp in Germany and a work camp in Rouen, the nameless narrator finds himself in the dusty seaport of Marseille. Along the way he was asked to deliver a letter to Weidel, a writer in Paris whom he discovered had killed himself as the Nazis entered the city. Now he is in search of the dead man's wife. He carries Weidel's suitcase, which contains an unfinished novel - and a letter securing Weidel a visa to escape France.Assuming the name Seidler - though the authorities think he is in fact Weidel - he goes from cafe to cafe looking for Marie, who is in turn anxiously searching for her husband. As Seidler converses with refugees over pizza and wine, their stories gradually break down his ennui, bringing him a deeper awareness of the transitory world they inhabit as they wait and wait for that most precious of possessions: transit papers.'This novel, completed in 1942, is in my opinion the most beautiful Seghers has written . . . almost flawless' - Heinrich Boll
