What Are We Doing Here?: INTERNATIONAL EDITION
Autor Marilynne Robinsonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 feb 2018
New essays on theological, political, and contemporary themes, by the Pulitzer Prize winner
Marilynne Robinson has plumbed the human spirit in her renowned novels, including Lila, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, and Gilead, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. In this new essay collection she trains her incisive mind on our modern political climate and the mysteries of faith. Whether she is investigating how the work of great thinkers about America like Emerson and Tocqueville inform our political consciousness or discussing the way that beauty informs and disciplines daily life, Robinson's peerless prose and boundless humanity are on full display. What Are We Doing Here? is a call for Americans to continue the tradition of those great thinkers and to remake American political and cultural life as "deeply impressed by obligation and as] a great theater of heroic generosity, which, despite all, is sometimes palpable still."| Toate formatele și edițiile | Preț | Express |

Recenzii
Robinson urges her audience to stand by what makes us human - "creative, knowing, efficacious, deeply capable of loyalty". The argument is sophisticated and persuasive
A bracing, stringent book that continually challenges the reader
There is much rich matter in these essays. They are simultaneously challenging, disturbing and rewarding
`An intellectual autobiography - a starchy, ardent and, on occasion, surprisingly personal account of what it means to be the custodian of one's conscience in a world saturated with orthodoxies.
In other words, it's a passionate treatment of one of Robinson's longtime preoccupations. A dying reverend instructs his young son in "Gilead," her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel: "The Lord gave you a mind so that you would make honest use of it. I'm saying you must be sure that the doubts and questions are your own not, so to speak, the moustache and walking stick that happen to be the fashion of any particular moment." [Here is] a repudiation... of powerful ideologies of any stripe that simplify the world' New York Times
Whether she is investigating the work of great thinkers or discussing the way that beauty informs and disciplines daily life, in these brilliant essays Marilynne Robinson impels us to action and offers hope.
` Hope is to be distinguished "very sharply" from optimism, which is not in abundant supply in these essays. "Hope is loyalty." Robinson urges her audience to stand by what makes us human - "creative, knowing, efficacious, deeply capable of loyalty". The argument is sophisticated and persuasive' Guardian
