Book SynopsisYears and years have passed. Everything that I loved is now dead. Everything that I knew has taken on a new appearance. The church has been rebuilt. It now has an embellished doorway, arched windows, fancy gutter-spouts representing ?aming mouths of demons; its new brick belfry laughs gaily into the blue; in place of the old house there now rises an elaborate Swiss cottage built by the new proprietor who, in the enclosure, has increased the number of coloured glass balls, small cascades and plaster statues of Love, soi-led by rain. But things and people are engraved so profoundly upon my memory that time could not apply a burnisher hard enough to erase them.

Book SynopsisMedhat is an orphaned boy who grows up shuttling between various farming families in the beautiful province of Sharkia, east of the Nile Delta. What was intended to be a brief visit for the five-year-old to Ismailia, a beautiful and cosmopolitan city in the Suez Canal zone, ends up being the beginning of a nomadic life no one could have imagined. Medhats journey takes him across the many landmarks of Egypt and beyond, all the way to Vienna where he discovers that his feelings of displacement still haunt him to the core. In a narrative that interweaves aspects of Egyptian folklore, epic prose, and classical literature, the author skillfully presents the conflict between the man in exile who reflects longingly on his history and origins, and the village boy who belonged nowhere.

Academic Studies Press An Amateur Performance: (Reminiscences of a
Book SynopsisTranslated for the first time in English, Lev Levanda's brilliant coming-of-age story of Russian Jewish students on the cusp of modernity in their struggle against religious chauvinism and an oppressive government.Despite being Russia's best Jewish writer of the nineteenth century, Lev Levanda (1835–1888) is barely known in the English-speaking world, with some of his most famous works, like the 1873 novel Seething Times, having yet to be published in their entirety. Another such work is An Amateur Performance (Reminiscences of a Student in the 1850s), which appears here in English for the first time, translated with elegance by Hugh McLean and edited by Brian Horowitz and Conor Daly. A classic in Russian-Jewish literature from 1882, An Amateur Performance describes the rush by Jews to government schools, secular education, and the lights of enlightenment, while also revealing the struggles of these Jewish students on the cusp of modernity, including keen observations on their lack of preparation, their confusion over the new ideas, and their confrontation with the repressive power of the Russian government. In short, it’s a brilliant sociological study of Russian Jewry in the 1850s as remembered by a writer who fought for progress and Jewish integration.

Academic Studies Press Man and His Surroundings
Book SynopsisMan and His Surroundings irreverently explores Soviet and post-Soviet identity, politics, and history. In what Iskander himself calls the book’s seminal novella, the narrator meets a man who believes himself to be Lenin, thawed out after decades of cryogenic storage. The narrator endures a phantasmagorical account of what “Lenin” thought and did during the October Revolution of 1917 and how another revolution is imminent. In another novella, the narrator tells of a nationally renowned fencer as the fencer sits at a neighboring table, discussing the impossibility of equality on earth, while his son pesters him for ice cream. The novellas enrapture the reader with their humor and impart a better intuitive understanding of the Soviet cultural heritage and mindset.Trade Review“This new translation of Fazil Iskander’s Man and His Surroundings, a collection of nine novellas set in the writer’s native Abkhazia, is a much-needed addition to Iskander’s oeuvre available in English. Iskander’s prose, beloved by generations of readers, offers a humorous and de-centering look at the absurdities of the Soviet reality, seen through the looking glass of life in Mukhus (Sukhumi). Alexander Rojavin's translation skillfully captures Iskander’s lapidary style and austere humor, while his passionate translator’s introduction praises the power of humor in the face of tyranny, past and present. This book will be a welcome addition to anyone teaching Soviet and Post-Soviet epochs in post-colonial perspective, and an enjoyable read for many.”— Maria Khotimsky, Senior Lecturer in Russian, Global Languages, MIT“Fazil Iskander was an obvious candidate for the Nobel Prize. Like two other laureates, William Faulkner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, he broadened literary geography by adding his motherland, Abkhazia, to it. A fearless explorer who revealed this land to so many readers, Iskander made the written world larger. In the confines of the invented village of Chegem, he wove wise, meandering prose in an Eastern manner. His humorous writing opens a new and unique world for American readers, and the portal to it is this excellent translation by Alexander Rojavin. The work is accessible both to readers familiar with Iskander’s magnum opus, Sandro from Chegem, as well as those who are just now about to discover one of the most inventive and exotic authors categorized under Magical Realism.

Blackwater Press The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York
Book SynopsisGustav and Alma Mahler in New York City in 1907: He had been invited to lead the Metropolitan opera; his glamorous wife accompanied him to the New World. Nineteen years his junior, Alma was Gustav's constant companion, occasional soulmate, sometimes his muse, always his caretaker: a woman otherwise restless and unfulfilled. Her husband's life was intensely interior, sporadically alert to others' needs and desires. His energy and idealism were aroused by new surroundings, but fitfully. He remained a chronic outsider, with Alma bearing much of the brunt amid their turbulent New York surroundings. A stunning debut novel from renowned cultural historian Joseph Horowitz.Trade ReviewPraise for The Marriage: "Horowitz is a master of passionate scholarship. His deep historical knowledge blends with his narrative imagination to bring to life the very air his characters breathed." --Antonio Munoz Molina, winner of the Jerusalem Prize; "Joe Horowitz's The Marriage portrays Mahler with more power and poignancy than anyone else ever has." --JoAnn Falletta, music director, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra; "Where biographers and other musicologists have struggled, Joseph Horowitz succeeds brilliantly in revealing the inner Gustav Mahler in this powerful and moving novel." --Richard Aldous, author of Tunes of Glory: The Life of Malcolm Sargent; "If we want to get closer to the "truth" of Mahler and his music, if we hope to improve our understanding of the person and his creations, we need to acknowledge the role our imagination must play in the learning process. In the case of Mahler, the essential facts have long been known. What we need now are fresh attempts to conceive what further truths they might contain. Joseph Horowitz's brilliant novel reveals much to us about who Mahler was, what he accomplished, and how he related to his world. Readers will be as eager to study it as they would any biography, and they can expect to learn as much."-- Charles Yuma's, Professor of Musicology, Penn State University; "Persuasive and fair. It is refreshing to see this chapter of Gustav Mahler's biography from an American perspective, written by someone not automatically biased in favor of Europe." --Karol Berger, author of Beyond Reason: Wagner contra Nietzsche; Osqood Hooker Professor in Fine Arts, Stanford University
