Bøger af JOHN WILLIAMS

Fra glemt mesterværk til international bestseller! Stoner er et fascinerende, velskrevet og rørende portræt af en helt almindelig mand, hvis liv man ikke kan undgå at blive berørt af. Det er en roman om identitet, om livet, om de valg, vi træffer.William Stoner bliver i slutningen af det nittende århundrede født ind i en fattig bondefamilie i Missouri, USA. Som ung går han på landbrugsskole, men drages af litteraturens verden. Han vender aldrig hjem til forældrenes gård og vælger i stedet det akademiske liv, hvor bøgerne og litteraturen forbliver hans faste holdepunkt – også når konflikter og skuffelser truer med at ødelægge hans tilværelse. Bogen blev første gang udgivet i 1965, siden genudgivet i 2006 i USA, hvorefter mange forlag verden over fik øjnene op for romanen. Den er nu en international bestseller. "En gang imellem støder man på en bog, der mere end så mange andre bekræfter, hvorfor man beskæftiger sig med litteratur." - Jens Christian Grøndahl"Den bedste bog, du aldrig har læst." - Carsten Andersen, Politiken"Uha, hvor er den stærk og velskrevet." Per Krogh Hansen, fem stjerner i Berlingske."Det er helt enkelt en roman om en mand, der går på college og bliver lærer. Men det er noget af det mest fascinerende, jeg nogensinde har læst." - Tom Hanks"John Williams’ Stoner er mere sjælden end en god bog - det er en perfekt bog. Så velskrevet og smuk, så dybt rørende." - The New York Times Book Review"Et mesterligt portræt af en virkelig dedikeret mand." - The New Yorker

En stor historisk roman om, hvordan en alt for ung dreng blev kastet hovedkulds ud i et næsten umenneskeligt magtspil, og på trods af alle odds endte med at blive den nådesløse hersker over det romerske imperium. I romanen AUGUSTUS genskaber John Williams det romerske imperium fra Julius Cæsars død frem til Augustus’ sidste dage og fortæller historien om, hvordan Augustus blev magtens centrum, da han først havde modstået hoffets og Senatets rænkespil og folkets modstand. En betagende fortælling af forfatteren til STONER og BUTCHER’S CROSSING.

Året er 1873, og Will Andrews opgiver sine universitetsstudier ved Harvard og drager vestpå. Han ender i Butcher's Crossing, en lille, gudsforladt flække i Kansas. Butcher's Crossing er fuld af rastløse mænd, der kun tænker på at tjene hurtige penge og bruge dem lige så hurtigt, blandt dem Miller. Han og Andrews bliver venner, og Andrews fascineres af Millers historie om en enorm bisonflok, der kun venter på at blive nedslagtet, godt gemt af vejen i en smuk dal i Rocky Mountains i Colorado. Andrews lader sig overtale til at deltage i - og financiere - en ekspedition, der bringer ham og Miller og to andre mænd langt ind i bjergene, hvor de skal slagte bisonerne, flå dem og bringe skindet tilbage. Rejsen er anstrengende og ekstremt krævende for de fire mænd og deres heste, men da de endelig når frem, er det et sted af paradisisk skønhed og rigdom, der møder dem. De kaster sig ud i en orgastisk nedslagtning af de tusindvis af bisoner, og bliver så opslugt af mødet med dyrene, at de mister al fornemmelse af tid. Netop som de er klar til at rejse tilbage til Butcher’s Crossing med store mængder bisonskind, stopper naturen dem. Vinteren har sneget sig ind på dem, og de sner inde i bjergene, i månedsvis.Foråret kommer, og de genoptager hjemrejsen, nedbrudte af kulde og sult. I Butcher’s Crossing finder de en verden, der er dramatisk forandret, fuldstændig lige som dem selv.

Will makes up his mind to be one of those men, but the journey, the killing, harsh conditions and sheer hard luck will test his mind and body to their limits.
