Giovanni's room / James Baldwin

Public ISBD Titre : Giovanni's room Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : James Baldwin Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 2001 Importance : xi, 158 p. Présentation : ill.,couv.en coul Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-118635-1 Note générale : Originally published: Michael Joseph, 1957. Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:429 Old english ; LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Index. décimale : 813.54 Résumé : David, a young American in 1950s Paris, is waiting for his fiancee to return from vacation in Spain. But when he meets Giovanni, a handsome Italian barman, the two men are drawn into an intense affair. After three months David's fiancee returns, and, denying his true nature, David rejects Giovanni for a 'safe' future as a married man. His decision eventually brings tragedy. Full of passion, regret and longing, this story of a fated love triangle has become a landmark in gay writing, but its appeal is broader. James Baldwin caused outrage as a black author writing about white homosexuals, yet for him the issues of race, sexuality and personal freedom were eternally intertwined.

Going to meet the man / James Baldwin

Public ISBD Titre : Going to meet the man Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : James Baldwin Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 1991 Collection : Penguin twentieth-century classics Importance : 252 p Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 20 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-14-018449-X Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Résumé : "There's no way not to suffer. But you try all kinds of ways to keep from drowning in it." The men and women in these eight short fictions grasp this truth on an elemental level, and their stories, as told by James Baldwin, detail the ingenious and often desperate ways in which they try to keep their head above water. It may be the heroin that a down-and-out jazz pianist uses to face the terror of pouring his life into an inanimate instrument. It may be the brittle piety of a father who can never forgive his son for his illegitimacy. Or it may be the screen of bigotry that a redneck deputy has raised to blunt the awful childhood memory of the day his parents took him to watch a black man being murdered by a gleeful mob.By turns haunting, heartbreaking, and horrifying--and informed throughout by Baldwin's uncanny knowledge of the wounds racism has left in both its victims and its perpetrators--Going to Meet the Man is a major work by one of our most important writers Going to meet the man [texte imprimé] / James Baldwin . - London (England) : Penguin Books, 1991 . - 252 p : couv. ill. en coul. ; 20 cm.. - (Penguin twentieth-century classics) .
