Perihal e-buku ini
Acclaimed novelist Siri Hustvedt's dazzling first collection of essays on art, literature, and the intricacies of the human experience.
In her brilliant and daring novels The Blindfold and The Enchantment of Lily Dahl, Siri Hustvedt has won critical acclaim and a rapidly expanding international audience. In Yonder, her first book of essays, Hustvedt explores the complex relationship between art and the world through six thought-provoking pieces.
From a personal meditation on memory and place to an original interpretation of Vermeer's painting "Woman with a Pearl Necklace," Hustvedt's essays are insightful and wide-ranging. She examines the essence of still life as a genre, offers a profound piece on Charles Dickens, reassesses The Great Gatsby, and delivers a witty and provocative assault on contemporary pieties in "A Plea for Eros."
With her keen eye for detail and her unique perspective, Hustvedt invites readers on an illuminating journey through literature, art history, and the complexities of the human experience. Yonder is a sparkling collection from one of America's most acclaimed writers.
