Devoid of inspiration, he stops writing. An awkward colonial, a constitutional outsider, he begins a dark pilgrimage in which he is continually tested and continually found wanting.

Am I its conscious author, or should I think of myself as simply a voice uttering with as little interference as possible a stream of words welling up from my interior? Arabella Kurtz: One way of thinking about psychoanalysis is to say that it is aimed at setting free the narrative or autobiographical imagination. The Good Story is a fascinating dialogue about psychotherapy and the art of storytelling between a writer with a long-standing interest in moral psychology and a psychotherapist with training in literary studies. Coetzee and Kurtz consider psychotherapy and its wider social context from different perspectives, but at the heart of both of their approaches is a concern with narrative. Working alone, the writer is in control of the story he or she tells. The therapist, on the other hand, collaborates with the patient in developing an account of the patient's life and identity that is both meaningful and true. In a meeting of minds that is illuminating and thought-provoking, the authors discuss both individual psychology and the psychology of the group: the school classroom, gangs and the settler nation, in which the brutal deeds of ancestors are accommodated into a national story. Drawing on great writers like Cervantes and Dostoevsky and psychoanalysts like Freud and Melanie Klein, Coetzee and Kurtz explore the human capacity for self-examination, our wish to tell our own life stories and the resistances we encounter along the way.

Coetzee returns with a haunting and surprising novel about childhood and destiny that is sure to rank with his classic novels. Separated from his mother as a passenger on a boat bound for a new land, David is a boy who is quite literally adrift. The piece of paper explaining his situation is lost, but a fellow passenger, Simon, vows to look after the boy. When the boat docks, David and Simon are issued new names, new birthdays, and virtually a whole new life. Strangers in a strange land, knowing nothing of their surroundings, nor the language or customs, they are determined to find David's mother. Though the boy has no memory of her, Simon is certain he will recognize her at first sight. "But after we find her," David asks, "what are we here for?" An eerie allegorical tale told largely through dialogue, The Childhood of Jesus is a literary feat--a novel of ideas that is also a tender, compelling narrative. Coetzee's many fans will celebrate his return while new readers will find The Childhood of Jesus an intriguing introduction to the work of a true master.

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Esperando a los bárbaros es una novela de clara intención moral: una parábola de una Sudáfrica desquiciada por el racismo, una denuncia de la brutalidad y de la arrogante ignorancia del poder. Por el Premio Nobel de Literatura J. M. Coetzee. Un día el Imperio decidió que los bárbaros eran una amenaza para su integridad. Primero llegaron al pueblo fronterizo policías, que detuvieron sobre todo a quienes no eran bárbaros pero sí diferentes. Torturaron y asesinaron. Después llegaron los militares. Muchos. Preparados para realizar heroicas campañas militares. El viejo magistrado del lugar trató de hacerles ver con sensatez que los bárbaros habían estado desde siempre allí y nunca habían sido un peligro, que eran nómadas y no se les podía vencer en batallas campales, que las opiniones que tenían sobre ellos eran absurdas. . . Vano intento. El magistrado solo logró la prisión y el pueblo, que había aclamado a los militares cuando llegaron, su ruina. Reseñas: «Uno de los mejores y más perdurables premios Nobel de Literatura que se han concedido en las últimas décadas. » Mercedes Monmany, ABC «. . . para Coetzee, en la Sudáfrica del apartheid decir la verdad era imposible, y narrar ficciones rozaba la frivolidad. . . » Juan Villoro *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Risse. J.M. Coetzee presents a coherent, unorthodox analysis of censorship from the perspective of one who has lived and worked under its shadow. The essays collected here attempt to understand the passion that plays itself out in acts of silencing and censoring. He argues that a destructive dynamic of belligerence and escalation tends to overtake the rivals in any field ruled by censorship. From Osip Mandelstam commanded to compose an ode in praise of Stalin, to Breyten Breytenbach writing poems under and for the eyes of his prison guards, to Aleksander Solzhenitsyn engaging in a trial of wits with the organs of the Soviet state, Giving Offense focuses on the ways authors have historically responded to censorship. It also analyzes the arguments of Catharine MacKinnon for the suppression of pornography and traces the operations of the old South African censorship system.
