At 77, the Booker Prize-winning British novelist Ian McEwan shows no signs of slowing down. His new novel, What We Can Know, is set in Great Britain in the 22nd century – a country now partly underwater as a result of global warming. In today's episode, McEwan speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about the book's plot – it tells of a search for a lost poem that was written in our own times – and notes that he is less interested in the future of science than that of the humanities, love and daily life.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

England im Jahr 2119. Literaturwissenschaftler Tom forscht zur Literatur der Jahre 1990-2030. In Ian McEwans neuem Roman „Was wir wissen können“ nimmt die Zukunft uns in den Blick. Rezension von Bettina Baltschev 24. September 2025

International bestselling author, Ian McEwan, joins Simon and Matt for a chat about his new novel 'What We Can Know'. Optimistic manifesto? Or a cautious tale? In the first half of the book, we learn about a lost poem - which is at the heart of the novel - as this is ultimately a book about a quest. As well as poetry, they talk about renewable energies being on the rise and the positive conversations around climate change. 'you only have to stop doing bad things to nature, for it to push back quickly' Here's more on the book: 2014: A great poem is read aloud and never heard again. For generations, people speculate about its message, but no copy has yet been found.2119: The lowlands of the UK have been submerged by rising seas. Those who survive are haunted by the richness of the world that has been lost.Tom Metcalfe, a scholar at the University of the South Downs, part of Britain's remaining archipelagos, pores over the archives of the early twenty-first century, captivated by the freedoms and possibilities of human life at its zenith.When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the great lost poem, revelations of entangled love and a brutal crime emerge, destroying his assumptions about a story he thought he knew intimately.

Ed Davey closed the Lib Dem conference with a warning not to let Trump's America become Farage's Britain. What might have sounded hyperbolic 24 hours ago sounded prescient by 8 am this morning - after Farage went on LBC and refused to distance himself from Trump's Tylenol conspiracy and then segued neatly into a discussion about immigrants eating swans (the Royal Park's police deny all knowledge of this). Opinion polls suggest the Brits are not big fans of Trump. Has Ed Davey spotted political opportunity in exploiting this fully? And is Farage going off the boil? Later, we sit down with novelist Ian McEwan to discuss memory, metaphysical gloom and modern Britain - which he gets to grips with in his new book 'What We Can Know'.Visit our new website for more analysis and interviews from the team: https://www.thenewsagents.co.uk/ The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Wir schreiben das Jahr 2119: große Teile der westlichen Welt sind nach einem katastrophalen Atomunfall vom steigenden Meeresspiegel überflutet worden. Im wassergesättigten Süden des ehemaligen Englands erinnert sich ein Überlebender an die verlorene Welt. Der einsame Gelehrte und Forscher Thomas Metcalfe jagt dem Geist eines Gedichts nach, das der bekannte Dichter Francis Blundy vor über einhundert Jahren geschrieben hat. In "Was wir wissen können" zeigt Ian McEwan die Faszination künftiger Generationen an unserem heutigen Leben. Das Buch ist gerade im Diogenes Verlag erschienen und wird am 5. Oktober von dem renommierten britischen Schriftseller vorgestellt: bei der "Schönen Lesung" von radio3 und radioeins, im Großen Sendesaal des rbb. Eine Buchkritik von Frank Dietschreit.

In our weekly review show, Kirsty Wark is joined by writer and critic Hannah McGill and writer and journalist Alan Taylor to discuss What Can We Know, the latest novel from Booker Prize winning writer Ian McEwan, an epic story set in a largely underwater Britain a hundred years in the future which touches on themes including climate change and great poetry. They also give their verdicts on Frances Poet's Small Acts of Love, a musical theatre production inspired by relationships formed across the Atlantic between victims of the Lockerbie disaster in December 1988. The production - a collaboration between the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow and the National Theatre of Scotland, and with songs by Deacon Blue's Ricky Ross, is the opening production in the newly refurbished 'Citz', a theatre which has played an important role in the city and also in the careers of the likes of Rupert Everett, Glenda Jackson and Miriam Margolyes, and which has just reopened after a major revamp. They also review The Girlfriend, a new psychological thriller from Amazon Prime, which stars Robin Wright as a possessive mother whose life begins to unravel when her son brings home a new partner she suspects is not all she seems. We also bring you the latest in our series of interviews with authors shortlisted for this year's BBC National Short Story Award, Colwill Brown. Presenter: Kirsty Wark Producer: Mark Crossan

Ian McEwan's masterful new novel is a piece of speculative fiction that shows a radically altered UK on the other side of climate catastrophe and global warfare. But it centres on two academics reaching back into the past to uncover the secrets behind a poem performed only once and lost to history. We spoke with him about the novel's big themes, its human focus and how to bring past and future together in the present moment.

Sir Ian McEwan is one of Britain's most acclaimed novelists, a Booker prize winner with a career spanning five decades with work that often explores morality, memory, and the intersections of private lives with public events. Sir Ian has long been associated with contemporaries like Martin Amis, Julian Barnes, and Salman Rushdie, who together reshaped the British novel from the 1980s onward. In this episode of Ways to Change the World, he spoke to Krishnan Guru-Murthy about the great issues facing the world from artificial intelligence to the rise of authoritarianism - as well as his latest novel What We Can Know.

In this lecture Miles Leeson, Director of the Iris Murdoch Research Centre at the University of Chichester, discusses Murdoch's reception by her contemporaries and look at the lighter side of how she was lampooned, both directly and indirectly, in the work of H.E. Bates, Malcolm Bradbury, Brigid Brophy, Barbara Pym and Ian McEwan, as well as the reception of her work by Philip Larkin and Monica Jones. Whilst a good deal of this was affectionate, and some even complementary, there was also a streak of jealousy and cruelty present. As Murdoch grew in popularity, and as a public intellectual figure, this became commonplace and is part of the mythic figure of ‘Iris' that was played out in the 2001 film, but has now has begun to fade from the public imagination. Miles's lecture asks what it might mean for us to admire her work today in the light of these texts.

In dieser Episode befasse ich mich mit dem Buch "Maschinen wie ich" von Ian McEwan, einem Roman, der tiefgreifende Fragen zur menschlichen Existenz aufwirft. Die Geschichte folgt Charlie, einem charmanten Lebenskünstler Anfang 30, und Miranda, einer intelligenten Studentin mit einem düsteren Geheimnis. Ihre Beziehung wird durch die Einführung von Adam, einem lebensechten Androiden, auf eine spannende Probe gestellt. Ich erkunde die grundlegenden Fragen des Romans: Können Maschinen denken, fühlen und lieben? Adams komplexe Emotionen und moralischen Prinzipien führen Charlie und Miranda in unerwartete und teils verhängnisvolle Situationen. In meiner persönlichen Rezension teile ich, wie ich zu diesem Buch gekommen bin. Als ich am Samstag über den Markt schlenderte und in der Büchergilde Gutenberg stöberte, fiel mir das Buch in die Hände. "Maschinen wie ich" spielt in einer alternativen Vergangenheit, im Jahr 1982, wo technologische Entwicklungen weit fortgeschrittener sind als in der Realität. Der Roman thematisiert, was wäre, wenn wir bereits im Jahr 1982 über selbstdenkende Maschinen und Konzepte wie ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen diskutiert hätten. Diese alternativen Aspekte der Handlung verleihen der Geschichte ihren einzigartigen Charme und machen sie zu einem fesselnden Leseerlebnis. Die Beziehung zwischen Charlie und Miranda steht im Mittelpunkt der Erzählung. Miranda trägt schwer an ihrer Vergangenheit, geprägt von einem traumatischen Erlebnis. Gleichzeitig wird der brillante Alan Turing eingeführt, dessen historische Figur mit der Entwicklung der Computertechnologie verbunden ist. Im Roman lebt Turing weiter und hat entscheidenden Einfluss auf die wissenschaftlichen Fortschritte. Einzigartig ist auch Adams Charakter, der nicht nur ein Roboter, sondern auch ein tiefgründiger Protagonist ist, der für Miranda empfindet und Gedichte verfasst. Trotz der Vielzahl an Themen bleibt der Roman fokussiert und unterhaltsam. McEwan skizziert eindringliche Personen und Situationen, die den Leser zum Nachdenken anregen. Ich reflektiere darüber, wohin uns die Entwicklung von Robotern führen könnte, insbesondere wenn sie uns zu ähnlich werden. "Maschinen wie ich" ist weit mehr als nur ein Science-Fiction-Roman; es ist eine Einladung zur Auseinandersetzung mit entscheidenden Fragen über unsere Menschlichkeit und Technologie. Ich empfehle jedem, die Gelegenheit zu nutzen, dieses Buch zu lesen, es hat das Potenzial, den Leser nachhaltig zu berühren und zum Nachdenken zu bringen. Der Roman ist zugänglich und doch komplex, ideal für jene, die sich auf tiefere Gedanken einlassen möchten.

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.

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.

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!"
