A casa onde Elio passa os verões é um verdadeiro paraíso na costa italiana, parada certa de amigos, vizinhos, artistas e intelectuais de todos os lugares. Filho de um importante professor universitário, o jovem está bastante acostumado à rotina de, a cada verão, hospedar por seis semanas na villa da família um novo escritor que, em troca da boa acolhida, ajuda seu pai com correspondências e papeladas. Uma cobiçada residência literária que já atraiu muitos nomes, mas nenhum deles como Oliver.

Samuel está a caminho de Roma para encontrar seu filho, Elio, agora um pianista renomado. O acaso, no entanto, se encarrega de adiar a reunião familiar e faz com que Samuel desembarque na cidade eterna acompanhado de um novo amor e cheio de planos para novas temporadas em sua casa de veraneio.

A summer's evening in Manhattan. Nothing - not cold drinks, not showers not a stroll through the chilly aisles of an all-night drugstore - can undo the heat's hold on the city. Julian is half watching the evening news, his husband filling the dishwasher. That's when it arrives. An email with the subject line: 'From Paul Axel'. An email about a dead man from Carol - a woman Julian has never met. Paul has left a message he'd like her to relay.

Como un mismo tema musical (el del erotismo, los recuerdos y el cuerpo) tocado en sus diversas variaciones, así son los vínculos de Paul con las diferentes personas que han ido dando forma a lo que él entiende por amor. Hombres y mujeres con los que se ha encontrado desde su adolescencia en Italia hasta su madurez en Estados Unidos.

Aciman's story of Alexandria is the story of his own family, a Jewish family with Italian and Turkish roots that tied its future to Egypt and made its home there for three generations, only to find itself peremptorily expelled by the government in the early 1960s. It is the story of a fractious clan of dreamers and con men and the emotional price they would pay for exile, the story of a young boy's coming of age and his memories of the city he loved in his youth.

From a youthful infatuation with a cabinet maker in a small Italian fishing village, to a passionate yet sporadic affair with a woman in New York, to an obsession with a man he meets at a tennis court, Enigma Variations charts one man's path through the great loves of his life. André Aciman casts a shimmering light over each facet of desire, to probe how we ache, want, and waver, and ultimately how we sometimes falter and let go of the very ones we want the most.

“A story of love and youth and pain that will have you clutching at your heart. I want everyone to read it; I want to press it into people’s hands. Surely one of the best novels I’ve ever read.” —Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less and Less Is Lost Soon to be a...

Leo y Thomas se conocen por azar en una multitudinaria fiesta parisina y, pese a su diferencia de edad y origen —Leo es un escritor italiano establecido, y Thomas un joven alemán aspirante a pianista considerablemente más joven—, se embarcan en una intensa relación. Pero la pasión toma tantas formas como amantes que la experimentan, y durante los años siguientes los dos hombres bailan una cuidadosa coreografía hecha de espacios y de distancias.

Thomas, a young German musician, is dying. Leo, a renowned Italian writer and Thomas's boyfriend, finds it impossible to mourn his loss and condemns himself to wandering the Earth, in the hope of finding the dividing line between the living and the dead. He travels through a Europe where past and present overlap, roads intersect, years merge and faces emerge - and tries in vain to bring into focus the blurred lines of their relationship.

As 13 year old André stands at the foot of the gangway to the ship, his mother fusses over their luggage - 32 suitcases, trunks and tea chests that contain their world. The ship will refuel and return to Alexandria, the home where they have left their father, as the Aciman family begin a new adventure.

The controversial father of psychiatry and psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud charted the human unconscious, brought us the talking cure, and wrote books that now rank among the classics of world literature. In On the Couch, the great analyst is analyzed by some of today's great writers and thinkers, who help us understand the man who has helped us understand ourselves as much, if not more, than anyone else, ever. The result is a fresh, multifaceted reassessment of Freud's continuing relevance and influence on ideas, literature, culture, science, and more.
