Ungelesen. »Ein wunderschöner Roman voller Liebe, Kummer, Rache, Verlangen und rauschhafter Sprache, dass es Shakespeare ein reines Vergnügen gewesen wäre.« , John Irving. James Salter ist einer der großen amerikanischen Erzähler unserer Zeit, ein moderner Klassiker, und »Alles, was ist« ist eine Huldigung an das New York der fünfziger und sechziger Jahre, an ein freies, ungezügeltes Leben und die einst so glamouröse Welt der Bücher und der Literatur. Als Lieutenant Philip Bowman aus dem Pazifischen Krieg zurückkehrt, der Schlacht von Okinawa knapp entronnen, liegt das Leben endlich vor ihm. Er studiert, heuert bei einer Theaterzeitschrift an, beginnt für einen Verlag Manuskripte zu lesen. Alles scheint möglich in dem noch ungebändigten New York. Er wird Lektor in einem angesehenen Verlag, diniert mit Schriftstellern, und er lernt Vivian kennen, Vivian Amussen, das schöne unnahbare Mädchen aus dem Süden. Bowman heiratet und wird geschieden, er betrügt und wird betrogen. Seine Arbeit, seine Liebschaften, seine Träume, wie alles ihn berührt und über ihn hinweggeht. Nur ein kurzes Flackern zwischen Erinnerung und Vergessen und doch: alles, was ist. - James Salter (eigentlich James Horowitz; * 10. Juni 1925 in New York City und dort aufgewachsen) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Er studierte an der Militärakademie in West Point und trat 1945 in die Air Force ein, in der er zwölf Jahre im Pazifik, in den USA, in Europa und Korea diente. 1957 nahm er seinen Abschied, nachdem 1956 sein erster Roman (The Hunters", basierend auf seinen mehr als 100 Einsätzen im Korea-Krieg) erschienen war. Das Buch wurde 1958 von Dick Powell unter dem Titel Kampfflieger mit Robert Mitchum und Robert Wagner verfilmt. Im deutschen Fernsehen lief der Film unter dem Titel Kampfgeschwader Kobra. Er ist mit der Dramatikerin Kay Eldredge verheiratet und lebt als freier Schriftsteller in Bridgehampton, New York und Aspen, Colorado. 1998 erhielt Salter den PEN/Faulkner-Award. Die Washington Post setzte seine Werke auf eine Stufe mit Flannery O'Connor, Paul Bowles und Tennessee Williams. Er arbeitete auch als Drehbuch-Autor: 1969 Downhill Racer mit Robert Redford. Die Filmfestspiele von Venedig ehrten ihn 1962 für seinen dokumentarischen Kurzfilm Team, Team, Team" mit dem ersten Preis. . . . Aus: wikipedia-James_Salter. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 360.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 290 pages. Published in 2013. The author's sixth and final novel. One of James Salter's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents James Salter's "All That Is". His first novel in 35 years, and his last. Published at the age of 87, Salter's novel is about writing itself. He is speaking for himself (and other writers) when his protagonist, Philip Bowman, who closely resembles him, particularly his youthful military and subsequent literary selves, muses: "The power of the novel in the nation's culture had weakened. It happened gradually. It was something everyone recognized and ignored. All went on exactly as before, that was the beauty of it. The glory had faded, but fresh faces kept appearing, wanting to be part of it, to be in publishing, which had retained a suggestion of elegance like a pair of beautiful, bone-shined shoes owned by a bankrupt man" (James Salter). "Here, as always, this writer so at war with the obvious uncovers radiance even in the most melancholy circumstance, applying to it the same rigor he uses to scrutinize and dismiss any easy, conventional notions about heroism or the honorable life" (The New York Times). Even in contemporary culture, writing = telling stories. Storytelling is something a writer does best, and genius-writers do it better than anyone else. But entertainers and other artists are storytellers too, and are often very good at it. As a storyteller, the writer is diminished in our celebrity culture to the point of insignificance. But what the writer will always represent at any moment of any national culture, a heroic, transcendent solitude, is irreplaceable. The fashionable celebrities of our time - the Hollywood star, the Silicon Valley "genius", and their ilk - cannot even begin to approach the summit that the writer reaches simply by putting pen to paper, a privilege and an honor that James Salter reminds us of in his valedictory novel. That's all that matters in the end, all that is. James Salter died on June 19, 2015. An absolute "must-have" title for James Salter collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by James Salter. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of very few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (British) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available have serious flaws, are in multiple subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine collectible copy. ISBN 1447238249. Signed by Author.
