Expiación es una obra maestra sobre las consecuencias irreparables de la imaginación mal empleada. Ian McEwan explora cómo una mentira infantil puede destruir vidas, y cómo el arte—aunque sublime—no siempre redime. La novela cuestiona si la expiación es posible o solo otra ficción.AVISO LEGAL: Los cuentos, poemas, fragmentos de novelas, ensayos y todo contenido literario que aparece en Crónicas Lunares di Sun podrían estar protegidos por derecho de autor (copyright).

Luis Herrero y Ayanta Barilli hablan sobre el libro de Ian McEwan.

«Water remembers. It is humans who forget.»En vanndråpe finner veien fra oldtidens Mesopotamia til en gategutt i London på 1840-tallet, så videre til en yazidisk familie i dagens Irak. Tre personers liv og skjebner bindes sammen gjennom to elver – Themsen og Tigris – og vannet som renner gjennom dem.I romanen Det er elver på himmelen (til norsk ved Bente Klinge) vever Elif Shafak sammen svunne riker, kolonitidens plyndringer, moderne konflikter og læren om vannets kretsløp, i en handling som strekker seg fra oldtiden og frem til dagens konflikter i Midtøsten. Med spenning, humor og et dyptloddende språk, er Det er elver på himmelen en bok som begeistrer og fascinerer, og har blitt hyllet av forfattere som blant annet Ian McEwan, Arundhati Roy og Mary Beard.Tyrkisk-britiske Elif Shafak er en av verdens fremste forfattere av historiske romaner. Gjennom sine fjorten romaner på tyrkisk og engelsk, har hun utforsket kulturelle spenninger og sosioøkonomiske ulikheter mellom øst og vest. Hun har i tillegg vært en aktiv stemme i kampen for ytringsfrihet og kvinners rettigheter, en samfunnsaktivisme som preger både skjønnlitteraturen og sakprosaen hennes. Hun bor i selvvalgt eksil i London, etter stadige rettslige trusler i Tyrkia mot virket hennes som forfatter.På Litteraturhuset møtte Shafak journalist og forfatter Marte Spurkland til en samtale om tid, aktivisme og vannets hukommelse.Samtalen er på engelsk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

«Water remembers. It is humans who forget.»A droplet of water finds its way from ancient Mesopotamia to a street urchin in 1840's London and on to a Yazidi family in present day Iraq. Three people's lives and destinies are connected by two rivers – the Thames and the Tigris – and the water which flows through them.In the novel There Are Rivers in the Sky, Elif Shafak weaves together lost empires, colonial plunder, modern conflicts, and the study of water in a plot stretching from ancient time to the present. With thrill, humour and evocative language, There Are Rivers in the Sky is both enthralling and fascinating, and has been lauded by authors such as Ian McEwan, Arundhati Roy and Mary Beard.Turkish-British Elif Shafak is one of the world's foremost writers of historical fiction. Through her fourteen novels, she has explored cultural tensions and socioeconomic inequalities between East and West in historical and contemporary settings. She has also been an active champion of the freedom of speech and of human rights, particularly women's rights, an activism evident in both her fiction and non-fiction. She lives in London in self-imposed exile, after past and continuing threats in Turkey against her work as an author.At the House of Literature, Shafak meets author and journalist Marte Spurkland for a conversation on time, cultural conflicts, and the memory of water.

En este episodio, Patricia Villa, Manuel Guzmán y Rafael Estrada analizan The Children Act, obra magistral de Ian McEwan que nos lleva al mundo de Fiona Maye, una jueza londinense especializada en derecho de familia. Desde la perspectiva jurídica y humana, discutimos los dilemas éticos que enfrenta Fiona al decidir casos que involucran la vida y muerte de menores, mientras lidia con su propia crisis matrimonial. ¿Qué sucede cuando los sentimientos personales se cruzan con la objetividad judicial? ¿Cómo se equilibra la sensibilidad humana con la imparcialidad que exige la ley?Acompáñanos en esta discusión que va más allá de la narrativa para reflexionar sobre los retos y límites de la función judicial en contextos de alta sensibilidad social y personal.

Fuensanta Marín, de la librería Diego Marín de Murcia, nos recomienda algunas de sus lecturas favoritas, incluyendo obras como "Canción dulce" y "El diablo está en los detalles; así escribo" de Leïla Slimani. Además, nos sugiere una serie de títulos que abordan temas contemporáneos, como la inteligencia artificial, con "¿Ética o ideología de la inteligencia artificial?" de Adela Cortina, y la novela de ciencia ficción "Máquinas como yo" de Ian McEwan. También incluye lecturas como "Las aventuras de Simbad el marino" de Khawam René R. y la intrigante novela de misterio "La señorita Pym dispone" de Josephine Tey.

When it comes to American politics, it's probably fair to describe the events of the last seven days as ‘historic'. We begin, therefore, by asking the question, “What does the election of President Trump mean for free expression?” – and it turns out that things are perhaps more nuanced than either side would care to admit. While Trump's classically liberal instincts sometimes serve to protect the First Amendment rights of all Americans, too often they are overridden by his determination to fight culture wars or by a fixation with settling personal vendettas. We begin today's episode by discussing these arguments, which Freddie Attenborough has also put together for an excellent article in The Critic. Back home in the UK, The Times reports how several of Britain's most eminent authors have told ministers that literary freedom is being “eroded” by their failure to stand up to cancel culture on university campuses. In their letter, they accuse the government of failing to safeguard “humane and liberal values”. Those signing the letter include the novelists Ian McEwan, Lady Antonia Fraser and Lionel Shriver. They have been joined by the philosopher AC Grayling, the actor and author Stephen Fry and the former poet laureate Sir Andrew Motion. Finally, an article in Spiked caught our attention this week, which pointed out various ways in which Ofcom appears to be applying different standards to GB News than to mainstream media outlets. This is especially worrying at a time when the Online Safety Act has granted Ofcom new authority over not only traditional broadcasting, but also social-media companies and online streaming services. ‘That's Debatable!'  is edited by Jason Clift.

Er ist ein Superstar der Literatur und seine Bücher liefern immer neuen Stoff für Hollywood: Ian McEwan, einer der bekanntesten Schriftsteller dieser Zeit, der die Abgründe menschlichen Lebens und Liebens schonungslos ausleuchtet und ihre ganze Widersprüchlichkeit zeigt. Vielfach verfilmt mit Stars wie Keira Knightley, Anthony Hopkins und Emma Thompson, begeistern McEwans literarische Werke seit Jahrzehnten ihr Publikum. Sie sind von der Ambivalenz der menschlichen Erfahrung geprägt und von den Lehren, die das Leben erteilt. So auch sein 2022 erschienenes und wohl persönlichstes Buch «Lektionen», das die ganze Bandbreite menschlichen Lebens abbildet und eng mit der Biografie des Briten verwoben ist. Am Ende bleibt immer die Frage: Was ist ein gelungenes Leben? Und gibt es das überhaupt? Als Schriftsteller äussert sich Ian McEwan oft politisch, wobei er auch die Sehnsucht kennt, sich angesichts der dramatischen Weltlage «ins Innere des Wals» zurückzuziehen, wie George Orwell schrieb und Ian McEwan es in seinem neuesten Essay diskutiert. Darf man sich der politischen Verantwortung entziehen – und kann man es im digitalen Zeitalter überhaupt noch? Barbara Bleisch spricht mit Ian McEwan über Familiengeheimnisse und menschliche Schuld, über die Lasten und Freuden des Lebens und über sein Dasein als Schriftsteller. Eine Wiederholung der «Sternstunde Philosophie»

The beloved Irish soprano Heather Harper died at the age of 88 on 22 April 2019 in London. In music ranging from the Baroque through the modern eras, she displayed an easy mastery as did very few others, as well as a radiant voice and demeanor that made her a favorite collaborator of some of the greatest conductors and composers of the Twentieth Century. Perhaps no other singer matched her accomplishment within such a wide range of styles. This episode was originally published as an addendum to an episode I published in the second season of Countermelody. It highlights Heather Harper in two Richard Strauss roles, Ariadne and the Kaiserin; and features two works which she created, Elizabeth Maconchy's setting of Cecil Day-Lewis's dramatic monologue Ariadne, premiered in 1971, and Michael Berkeley and Ian McEwan's searing 1983 oratorio Or Shall We Die? Harper is also featured in rare recordings of repertoire ranging from Monteverdi to Busoni; Offenbach to Dallapiccola. A forgotten 1964 recording of Harper's transcendent reading of “Aus Liebe will mein Heiland sterben” from Bach's St. Matthew Passion rounds off the episode. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Con "Nel guscio", pubblicato da Einaudi nel 2017, Ian McEwan ci regala un romanzo sperimentale degno dei suoi esordi e un grande personaggio: un bambino non ancora nato, ma già raffinato pensante e prigioniero del dubbio amletico. Una voce narrante arguta che Susanna Basso ha amato proprio per la sua sfrontatezza irriverente. In questa intervista ci racconta il lungo sodalizio con lo scrittore britannico, e cosa ha significato per lei misurarsi con un “gioco letterario ad altissimo livello”.The Conspiracy © 2024 by Giovanni Cascavilla is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International.

Vielfach verfilmt mit Stars wie Keira Knightley, Anthony Hopkins und Emma Thompson, begeistern McEwans literarische Werke seit Jahrzehnten ihr Publikum. Sie sind von der Ambivalenz der menschlichen Erfahrung geprägt und von den Lehren, die das Leben erteilt. So auch sein 2022 erschienenes und wohl persönlichstes Buch «Lektionen», das die ganze Bandbreite menschlichen Lebens abbildet und eng mit der Biografie des Briten verwoben ist. Am Ende bleibt immer die Frage: Was ist ein gelungenes Leben? Und gibt es das überhaupt? Als Schriftsteller äussert sich Ian McEwan oft politisch, wobei er auch die Sehnsucht kennt, sich angesichts der dramatischen Weltlage «ins Innere des Wals» zurückzuziehen, wie George Orwell schrieb und Ian McEwan es in seinem neusten Essay diskutiert. Darf man sich der politischen Verantwortung entziehen – und kann man es im digitalen Zeitalter überhaupt noch? Barbara Bleisch spricht mit Ian McEwan über Familiengeheimnisse und menschliche Schuld, über die Lasten und Freuden des Lebens und über sein Dasein als Schriftsteller.

The British evacuation from the beaches of the small French port town of Dunkirk is one of the iconic moments of military history. The battle has captured the popular imagination through LIFE magazine photo spreads, the fiction of Ian McEwan and, of course, Christopher Nolan's hugely successful Hollywood blockbuster. But what is the German view of this stunning Allied escape? We are exploring that with today's guest, Robert Kershaw, author of Dünkirchen 1940: The German View of Dunkirk. We look at what went wrong for the Germans at Dunkirk.As supreme military commander, Hitler had seemingly achieved a miracle after the swift capitulation of Holland and Belgium, but with just seven kilometers before the panzers captured Dunkirk – the only port through which the trapped British Expeditionary force might escape – they came to a shuddering stop. Only a detailed interpretation of the German perspective – historically lacking to date – can provide answers as to why.SponsorsGet Exclusive NordVPN deal here → https://nordvpn.com/historyunplugged It's risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee!"

Lisa Gornick has been hailed by NPR as “one of the most perceptive, compassionate writers of fiction in America…immensely talented and brave.” She is the author of four previous novels—most recently The Peacock Feast and Louisa Meets Bear. In this episode, Lisa chats with Marrie Stone about her latest novel, Ana Turns. Ana is turning 60, which is cause for reflection on her sexless marriage, her 7-year affair, her worries about her only child who's doing some reflecting of their own, her arguably cruel and emotionally unavailable mother, and much more. In addition to unpacking how Lisa rendered these characters and their chorus of voices, they chat about how to manage time and backstory in a novel, dealing with contemporary issues in sensitive ways, thoughts on sensitivity readers (with a brief reference to Ian McEwan's thoughts on the same), and weaving in subplots, among other topics. Lisa also shares some psychotherapeutic wisdom from her days as a practicing therapist including unpacking writers' fears about telling their own stories authentically because of who it might hurt, the right to tell ones' stories, and how to protect others along the way. She also shares some additional insights about how her work in psychotherapy impacts her writing process on Patreon.

Lessons is the beautifully written 2022 novel by Ian McEwan. The novel follows Roland Baines through a life touched by the historic events that happen around him. A novel that examines many different aspects of the human condition.

Los cuentos de Eloy Tizón encierran la vida, la atesoran, nos trasladan a un escenario en el que somos espectadores y protagonistas. Hoy hablamos con él sobre quién, como Cortázar, nos curará del fuego, a través de su nuevo libro, 'Plegaria para pirómanos', que publica Páginas de espuma. Además, charlamos con Fernando Castro Flórez sobre la exposición dedicada al gran Antonio Saura que ha comisariado y que se puede ver en la Fundación Bancaja de València.

In this episode of 92NY Talks, English writer Ian McEwan, winner of the Booker Prize for Amsterdam, reads from and discusses his most recent novel, Lessons, a powerful meditation on history and humanity told through the prism of one man's lifetime. He is introduced and interviewed by author Claire Messud. The conversation was recorded on September 19, 2022 in front of a live audience at The 92nd Street Y, New York.

The Darwinian Revolution--the change in thinking sparked by Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, which argued that all organisms including humans are the end product of a long, slow, natural process of evolution rather than the miraculous creation of an all-powerful God--is one of the truly momentous cultural events in Western Civilization. Darwinism as Religion: What Literature Tells Us about Evolution (Oxford UP, 2017) is an innovative and exciting approach to this revolution through creative writing, showing how the theory of evolution as expressed by Darwin has, from the first, functioned as a secular religion.  Drawing on a deep understanding of both the science and the history, Michael Ruse surveys the naturalistic thinking about the origins of organisms, including the origins of humankind, as portrayed in novels and in poetry, taking the story from its beginnings in the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century right up to the present. He shows that, contrary to the opinion of many historians of the era, there was indeed a revolution in thought and that the English naturalist Charles Darwin was at the heart of it. However, contrary also to what many think, this revolution was not primarily scientific as such, but more religious or metaphysical, as people were taken from the secure world of the Christian faith into a darker, more hostile world of evolutionism. In a fashion unusual for the history of ideas, Ruse turns to the novelists and poets of the period for inspiration and information. His book covers a wide range of creative writers - from novelists like Voltaire and poets like Erasmus Darwin in the eighteenth century, through the nineteenth century with novelists including Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, Henry James and H. G. Wells and poets including Robert Browning, Alfred Tennyson, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Gerard Manley Hopkins, and on to the twentieth century with novelists including Edith Wharton, D. H. Lawrence, John Steinbeck, William Golding, Graham Greene, Ian McEwan and Marilynne Robinson, and poets including Robert Frost, Edna St Vincent Millay and Philip Appleman. Covering such topics as God, origins, humans, race and class, morality, sexuality, and sin and redemption, and written in an engaging manner and spiced with wry humor, Darwinism as Religion gives us an entirely fresh, engaging and provocative view of one of the cultural highpoints of Western thought. Michael Ruse was born in England in 1940. In 1962 he moved to Canada and taught philosophy for thirty-five years at the University of Guelph in Ontario, before taking his present position at Florida State University in 2000. He is a philosopher and historian of science, with a particular interest in Darwin and evolutionary biology. The author or editor of over fifty books and the founding editor of the journal Biology and Philosophy, he is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, a former Guggenheim Fellow and Gifford Lecturer, and the recipient of four honorary degrees. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel.

María Sonia Cristoff nació en Trelew, en 1965. Graduada en Letras en la Universidad de Buenos Aires, es autora de las novelas Mal de época, Inclúyanme afuera, Bajo influencia, Desubicados y Derroche. Compiló los volúmenes Acento extranjero, Patagonia, Idea crónica y Pasaje a Oriente. Dicta clases en la Maestría de Escritura Creativa de la UNTREF. Random House acaba de reeditar Falsa calma, que en principio podríamos llamar libro de crónicas pero que es mucho más que eso. Originalmente publicado en 2005, el libro está dividido en diez capítulos o diez historias que surgen a partir de un regreso: el regreso de la narradora a su territorio original después de veinte años de haberlo dejado para viajar a la capital. Larguísimas caminatas por la Patagonia y las calles polvorientas de pueblos fantasmas o agonizantes; tardes de lectura o de intento de lectura en bares solitarios, historias de vida y de poblaciones que son mayormente historias de fracasos y frustraciones pero también de resistencia. No son crónicas periodísticas sino literarias, textos híbridos que trabajan voces reales o hechos reales con los recursos y las estrategias de la literatura. En una entrevista en Página 12, Silvina Friera definió esas operaciones como “una suerte de dialéctica de la apropiación y la expropiación de voces y géneros”. En la sección En voz alta, el actor Horacio Roca leyó “Los fuegos de otoño”, de Irene Nemirovsky. Horacio Roca es Actor de vastísima trayectoria, que ha formado parte de elencos de teatros oficiales o independientes visitando gran parte de la dramaturgia argentina actual pero también clásicos de todas las épocas. Egresado de la Escuela Nacional de Arte Dramático. Además estudió con Roberto Durán, Ana Itelman, Augusto Fernández, Dominique De Fazzio y Juan Carlos Gené. También realizó cursos de dirección con Juan Carlos Gené y Rubén Szuchmacher. En teatro, ha trabajado, entre otras obras en “Tibio”, “Edipo Rey”, “Madrijo” y “Sacco y Vanzetti” y actualmente se lo puede ver en “La vis cómica” la obra que dirige Mauricio Kartun , todos los martes a las 20hs en la Sala Solidaridad del Centro Cultural de la Cooperación, en Av. Corrientes 1543. En Mesita de luz, Soledad Quereilhac contó que está leyendo “La cucaracha” de Ian McEwan,  “Lo que aprendí de las bestias” de Albertina Carri e “Historia de la lectura en el mundo occidental” de Guglielmo Cavallo, Roger Chartier . Soledad Quereilhac es doctora en Letras e Investigadora del Conicet. Es docente de Problemas de Literatura Argentina en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires y miembro del Instituto de Historia Argentina y Americana “Dr. Emilio Ravignani”. Es miembro del comité editor de la revista cultural Las Ranas y dirige un proyecto de jóvenes investigadores sobre literatura y prensa en la Argentina. Soledad será una de las invitadas a la nueva edición de la Feria de Editores que se realizará del jueves 3 al domingo 6 de agosto en el “C Complejo Art Media” de 14 a 22 hs con entrada libre y gratuita. En Bienvenidos, Hinde habló de “Cómo hacen los pobres para sobrevivir”, de Javier Auyero y Sovía Servián (Siglo XXI), “Querido diario”, de Marcos López (Caballo negro editora) y  “Los gritos del agua”, de Roberto Guareschi (Ediciones del Dock) y en Libros que sí recomendó “Ya te llegará. Correspondencia 1984-1997”, de Margo Glantz y Tamara Kamenzsain (Eterna Cadencia), “Los años Aira”, de Alberto Giordano (Neutrinos) y “Unos ojos recién inaugurados”, de Martín Felipe Castagnet (Vinilo)  

Martin Amis, one of the most celebrated British authors of his generation, has died aged 73. He died of oesophageal cancer at his Florida home, the New York Times said, quoting his wife, the writer Isabel Fonseca. Amis is best known for his 1984 novel Money, the 1989 work London Fields and 1995's The Information, and authored 14 novels, several non-fiction books and a memoir in a career spanning 50 years. Speaking to Today's Justin Webb, author Ian McEwan and longtime friend of Mr Amis reflects on the life and legacy of the celebrated novelist.

David talks to Ian McEwan about Italo Calvino's The Watcher (1963), one of the greatest of all works of political fiction. Challenging, disturbing, redemptive: this is a book about who gets to count and who doesn't, and what identity politics really means. David and Ian also discuss how political fiction works - and why the climate change novel is so hard to write. Plus they argue about whether children should be allowed to vote. Next week: Helen Thompson on Dallas and the end of oil.Ian McEwan's latest novel is Lessons, available now.To read more about Calvino, here is a recent appreciation of his later writings in the New Yorker.On the children's focus groups, here is the report.

If you've claimed welfare benefits in Europe lately, there's a decent chance that authorities have used an algorithm to assess whether you might be trying to scam the system. The problem? All kinds of discrimination are baked into these calculations. This week we speak to Gabriel Geiger, one of the journalists behind an international investigation into these ‘suspicion machines'. We're also looking back at a week of highs and lows for Europe's climate policy, and celebrating Pompeii's fluffy new recruits.  You can find the various pieces published as part of Lighthouse Reports' ‘suspicion machines' investigation here and follow Gabriel on Twitter here. The Guardian graphic that Dominic mentioned, explaining why it's so hard to power ships with electricity, can be found here. This week's Isolation Inspiration: 'Lessons' by Ian McEwan, Traute Lafrenz's obituary, and 'A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived' by Adam Rutherford. Thanks for listening!
