Paperback. Etat : Very Good. A panoramic vision of America at the beginning of the 21st century, seen through the turbulent lives of the Lambert family. At once a moving family drama and a dissection of American society in an age of greed and globalism, The Corrections emerges as a truly great American novel. The Lamberts Enid and Alfred and their three grown-up children are a troubled family living in a troubled age. Alfred is ill and as his condition worsens the whole family must face the failures, secrets and long-buried hurts that haunt them if they are to make the corrections that each desperately needs. Stretching from the Midwest in the mid-century to Wall Street and Eastern Europe in the age of globalised greed, The Corrections brings an old-time America of freight trains and civic duty into wild collision with the era of home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental healthcare, and New Economy millionaires.

After almost fifty years as a wife and mother, Enid Lambert is ready to have some fun. Unfortunately, her husband, Alfred, is losing his sanity to Parkinson's disease, and their children have long since flown the family nest to the catastrophes of their own lives. The eldest, Gary, a once-stable portfolio manager and family man, is trying to convince his wife and himself, despite clear signs to the contrary, that he is not clinically depressed. The middle child, Chip, has lost his seemingly secure academic job and is failing spectacularly at his new line of work. And Denise, the youngest, has escaped a disastrous marriage only to pour her youth and beauty down the drain of an affair with a married man or so her mother fears. Desperate for some pleasure to look forward to, Enid has set her heart on an elusive goal: bringing her family together for one last Christmas at home. Stretching from the Midwest at midcentury to the Wall Street and Eastern Europe of today, The Corrections brings an old-fashioned world of civic virtue and sexual inhibitions into violent collision with the era of home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental healthcare, and globalised greed. Richly realistic, darkly hilarious, deeply humane, it announces Jonathan Franzen as one of the most brilliant interpreters of American society and the American soul.

Etat : Gut. 567 Seiten, Guter Zustand - leichte Gebrauchsspuren am Schutzumschlag. Englische Originalausgabe. "Nach fast fünfzig Jahren als Ehefrau und Mutter ist Enid Lambert entschlossen, ihr Leben ein wenig zu genießen. Alles könnte so angenehm sein, gemütlich, harmonisch - einfach schön. Doch die Parkinsonsche Krankheit hat ihren Mann Alfred immer fester im Griff, und die drei Kinder haben das traute Familienheim längst verlassen - um ihre eigenen tragikomischen Malaisen zu durchleben. Der älteste, Gary, stellvertretender Direktor einer Bank und Familienvater, steckt in einer Ehekrise und versucht mit aller Macht, seine Depressionen kleinzureden. Der mittlere, Chip, steht am Anfang einer vielversprechenden Karriere als Literaturprofessor, aber Liebestollheit wirft ihn aus der Bahn, und er findet sich in Litauen wieder als verlängerter Arm eines Internet-Betrügers. Und das jüngste der Lambert-Kinder, die erfolgreiche Meisterköchin Denise, sinkt ins Bett eines verheirateten Mannes und setzt so, in den Augen der Mutter zumindest, Jugend und Zukunft aufs Spiel. In dem Wunsch, es sich endlich einmal so richtig gutgehen zu lassen - und Alfred aus seinem blauen Sessel zu locken, in dem er immer schläft -, verfolgt Enid nun ein hochgestecktes Ziel: Bald nach der Luxus-Kreuzfahrt, zu der sie voller Vorfreude mit Alfred aufbricht, möchte sie die ganze Familie zu einem letzten Weihnachtsfest zu Hause um sich scharen." (Verlagstext zur deutschen Ausgabe - Die Korrekturen - bei Rowohlt). Autorenporträt : Jonathan E. Franzen (geboren am 17. August 1959 in Western Springs bei Chicago) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Einem breiten Publikum bekannt wurde er mit seinem 2001 erschienenen dritten Roman Die Korrekturen, der den National Book Award gewann, Finalist für den Pulitzer-Preis war und sich weltweit 2,85 Millionen Mal verkaufte. 2015 wurde dieser Roman von der BBC-Auswahl der besten 20 Romane von 2000 bis 2014 zu einem der bislang bedeutendsten Werke dieses Jahrhunderts gewählt. Dem folgenden Roman Freiheit schenkten die amerikanischen Medien bei seinem Erscheinen 2010 außergewöhnliche Aufmerksamkeit. Kritiker zählten das Buch zu den besten des Jahres. Thematisch steht in Franzens Romanen das Auseinanderfallen dysfunktionaler Familien im Mittelpunkt. Die Familienmitglieder werden dabei sowohl als Einzelpersonen als auch in ihrem Verhältnis zueinander beleuchtet. Zugleich weisen seine breit angelegten Werke Die Korrekturen wie auch Freiheit umfassen jeweils über 700 Seiten auf Zusammenhänge und Ähnlichkeiten zwischen dem Einzelschicksal ihrer Charaktere sowie gesellschaftlichen und politischen Entwicklungen hin. Unter anderem beschäftigen sie sich mit modernen Problematiken wie Globalisierung, Umweltverschmutzung und dem Krieg gegen den Terror", aber auch mit dem Kapitalismus im Allgemeinen und der Kommunikation in Sozialen Netzwerken. Jonathan Franzen wurde in Western Springs (Illinois) als jüngster von drei Brüdern geboren. Sein Vater Earl war Bauingenieur, seine Mutter Irene Hausfrau. 1965 zog die Familie nach Webster Groves (Missouri), einem Vorort von St. Louis. Jonathan Franzen studierte seit 1977 am Swarthmore College und erwarb 1981 mit Auszeichnung einen Bachelor of Arts in Germanistik. 2005 verlieh ihm das College die Ehrendoktorwürde. Nach seinem Abschluss studierte er an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, dann im Rahmen des Fulbright-Programms an der Freien Universität Berlin, daher spricht er sehr gut Deutsch. 1982 ging er in die USA zurück, heiratete die Schriftstellerin Valerie Cornell, mit der er bei Cambridge (Massachusetts) in einer winzigen Wohnung lebte, und nahm einen Wochenendjob am seismologischen Labor des Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences der Harvard University an, um den gemeinsamen Lebensunterhalt zu bestreiten. Die beiden trennten sich 1994 und sind inzwischen geschieden. 1988 erschien Franzens erster Roman The Twenty-Seventh City (deutsch: Die 27ste Stadt), der sich noch am Vorbild Thomas Pynchons orientiert. Er erhielt zwar einige wohlwollende Kritiken, fand jedoch keine breite Leserschaft. Sein zweiter Roman Strong Motion (deutsch: Schweres Beben) wurde 1992 weder von der Kritik noch vom Publikum begeistert aufgenommen. Dennoch gelang es Franzen aufgrund eines 200-seitigen Entwurfs, die Rechte an seinem neuen Roman The Corrections (deutsch: Die Korrekturen) 1996 an den Verlag Farrar, Straus and Giroux zu verkaufen. Als 2001 das Werk, an dem er sieben Jahre lang schrieb und das von einem konservativen Erzählstil geprägt ist, unmittelbar vor den Anschlägen am 11. September schließlich erschien, brachte es bei Publikum und Kritik gleichermaßen seinen Durchbruch. Unter anderem wählte Oprah Winfrey den Roman für Oprah's Book Club aus, was in der Regel einen starken Anstieg der Verkaufszahlen nach sich zieht. Nachdem Franzen sich in einem Interview zu dieser Nominierung zwiespältig geäußert hatte, da viele Bücher des Buchclubs schmaltzy und one-dimensional seien, zog Winfrey die Einladung in ihre Fernsehshow wieder zurück und besprach stattdessen ein anderes Buch. Die Kontroverse zog ein breites Medienecho nach sich, in dessen Rahmen Franzen teils heftig für seine arrogante" Kommentierung kritisiert wurde. Erst 2010 trat er in der Show auf. Unmittelbar nach Erscheinen von Die Korrekturen nahm Franzen die Arbeit an einem neuen Roman auf, verwarf jedoch zunächst alles, was er schrieb. Stattdessen veröffentlichte er 2002 eine Sammlung von Essays, How to Be Alone (deutsch: Anleitung zum Alleinsein), und 2006 eine Sammlung autobiografischer Erzählungen, The Discomfort Zone (deutsch: Die Unruhezone: Eine Geschichte von mir), die sich von der Zeit seiner Kindheit und Jugend über das Zusammenleben mit und der Trennung von seiner Frau bis zum Tod seiner Eltern und der Zeit nach dem Erfolg von Die Korrekturen erstrecken. Im August 2010 erschien nach neunjähriger Arbeit und begleitet von größter Aufmerksamkeit der amerikanischen Medien Franzens vierter Roman Freedom (d.
