Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN NYRB CLASSICS ORIGINAL Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Young Once is a crucial book in the career of Nobel laureate Patrick Modiano. It was his breakthrough novel, in which he stripped away the difficulties of his earlier work and found a clear, mysteriously moving voice for his haunting stories of love, nostalgia, and grief. It has also been called “the most gripping Modiano book of all” (Der Spiegel). Odile and Louis are leading a happy, bucolic life with their two children in the French countryside near the Swiss mountains. It is Odile’s thirty-fifth birthday, and Louis’s thirty-fifth birthday is a few weeks away. Then the story shifts back to their early years: Louis, just freed from his military service and at loose ends, is taken up by a shady character who brings him to Paris to do some work for a friend who manages a garage; Odile, an aspiring singer, is at the mercy of the kindness and unkindness of strangers. In a Paris that is steeped in crime and full of secrets, they find each other and struggle together to create what, looking back, will have been their youth.

Book excerpt: A brilliant, genre-defying work—both memoir and epic poem—about the struggle for wisdom, grace, and ritual in the face of unspeakable loss “A bruised and brave love letter from a brother right here to a brother now gone . . . a soaring, unblinking gaze into the meaning of life itself.”—Marlon James, author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf my father said david has taken his own life Adam is in the middle of his own busy life, and approaching a career high in the form of a #1 New York Times bestselling book—when these words from his father open a chasm beneath his feet. I Had a Brother Once is the story of everything that comes after. In the shadow of David’s inexplicable death, Adam is forced to re-remember a brother he thought he knew and to reckon with a ghost, confronting his unsettled family history, his distant relationship with tradition and faith, and his desperate need to understand an event that always slides just out of his grasp. This is an expansive and deeply thoughtful poetic meditation on loss and a raw, darkly funny, human story of trying to create a ritual—of remembrance, mourning, forgiveness, and acceptance—where once there was a life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Felix, a Jewish boy in Poland in 1942, is hiding from the Nazis in a Catholic orphanage. The only problem is that he doesn't know anything about the war, and thinks he's only in the orphanage while his parents travel and try to salvage their bookselling business. And when he thinks his parents are in danger, Felix sets off to warn them--straight into the heart of Nazi-occupied Poland. To Felix, everything is a story: Why did he get a whole carrot in his soup? It must be sign that his parents are coming to get him. Why are the Nazis burning books? They must be foreign librarians sent to clean out the orphanage's outdated library. But as Felix's journey gets increasingly dangerous, he begins to see horrors that not even stories can explain. Despite his grim suroundings, Felix never loses hope. Morris Gleitzman takes a painful subject and expertly turns it into a story filled with love, friendship, and even humor.

Download or read book Once written by Griselda Jackson Ohannessian and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Of all my far back memories two remain most vivid, as if they had just happened. The first is of an incident that occurred in a few minutes' time; the second, a matter of months. The first happening surely was the key to my survival of the second...." So begins, veiled in mystery, Gridelda Jackson Ohannessian's beautifully rendered childhood memoir about growing up on a farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, beneath "the friendly blue bowl" of the sky, and the dangerous, preternatural events of the summer of 1939 that changed her life forever. Once: As It Was is narrated through the lens of the author's twelve-year-old self. Her farm-home was a world of little dirt roads, kerosene lamps, and visiting hobos. There is her dear father Bousie ("rhymes with Howsie"), her loving Ma, her two sisters and brother, and the Owls, the Cherokee Indian farmhands who were also part of the family, as well as many other friends and passers-by. Ohannessian's writing-memory meanders intently like a bright creek, through her schoolhouse where Margeret Toomer, the writer Jean Toomer's daughter, was one of two black students, through the living presene of books and pen pals, amany secret places, a brief run-in with Professor Einsten, and even a little "s.e.x." Then the fateful day arrives when a band of writers, led by the poets Laura Riding and Robert Graves, moves onto the farm. Photographs, letters, newspaper clippings, poems, and a few bars of Morse code provide lively counterpoint to Ohannessia's endearing tale of what was -- and is -- Once.
