En av 1900-talets mest inflytelserika romaner
»En av vår tids få riktiga författare.« Norman Mailer
Den unge amerikanen David friar till sin flickvän Helle, men hon är tveksam och lämnar honom i Paris för att i stället resa till Spanien och fundera över deras förhållande. Ensam, utan jobb och pengar, hamnar David på en bar där han träffar den vackra servitören Giovanni. Kvällen slutar med att David följer med Giovanni hem, och de två männen inleder en passionerad kärleksaffär. Paret tillbringar sina dagar vandrande genom Paris, nätterna i Giovannis nedgångna lägenhet. Det är första gången på länge David känner sig lycklig, men trots det vill han inte erkänna sin egen läggning och de begär han upplever. När Helle återvänder väljer han därför henne framför kärleken till Giovanni. Samtidigt tar Giovannis liv en dramatisk vändning. Giovannis rum [1956], James Baldwins andra roman, är en milstolpe inom queerlitteraturen och finns med på BBC:s lista över 100 romaner som format vår värld. I översättning av Martin Rogberg, med ett nyskrivet förord av Kristofer Folkhammar.
JAMES BALDWIN [1924-1987] var en amerikansk författare och medborgarrättsaktivist. Han skrev romaner, pjäser, essäer och poesi. 1986 tilldelades han franska Hederslegionen.

'A masterwork... an almost unbearable, tumultuous, blood-pounding experience' Washinton PostWhen Another Country appeared in 1962, it caused a literary sensation. James Baldwin's masterly story of desire, hatred and violence opens with the unforgettable character of Rufus Scott, a scavenging Harlem jazz musician adrift in New York. Self-destructive, bad and brilliant, he draws us into a Bohemian underworld pulsing with heat, music and sex, where desperate and dangerous characters betray, love and test each other to the limit.'In Another Country, Baldwin created the essential American drama of the century' Colm Tóibín

Utsedd till en av tidernas 100 bästa böcker av The Guardian
I sin epokgörande essäsamling kartlägger James Baldwin vad det innebär att vara svart i det moderna USA. Baldwin räknas sedan länge till 1900-talets främsta amerikanska författare; tillsammans med Langston Hughes, Richard Wright och Toni Morrison utgör han ryggraden i landets svarta litteratur. När En svart mans anteckningar - utsedd till en av 1900-talets bästa böcker av såväl Modern Library som The Guardian - gavs ut 1955 hade bokens tio essäer tidigare publicerats i tidskrifter som Harper's Magazine, Partisan Review och The New Leader. Titelessän är ett minnesarbete: En paranoid far dör i tuberkulos, samtidigt som författaren för första gången upplever den amerikanska söderns statsrasism. Texterna speglar den klarsyn, vrede, intelligens och mänsklighet som gjort Baldwins böcker till moderna klassiker.
För första gången på 65 år tillgängliggörs nu James Baldwins mästerverk på nytt, här i reviderad översättning, och med ett nyskrivet förord av författaren och journalisten Judith Kiros.
JAMES BALDWIN föddes 1924 och växte upp i Harlem under fattiga omständigheter. Vid 24 års ålder flyttade han till Paris, och levde därefter större delen av sitt liv i Frankrike. Förutom romaner och essäer skrev han dramatik och poesi. Han var aktivist i Medborgarrättsrörelsen och The Gay Liberation Movement.
»James Baldwins brinnande samhällskritik ger ny genklang i ett splittrat USA.« | Washington Post
»James Baldwins mest definierande verk - och hans bästa.« | Time
»Jag önskar att jag kunde sätta denna bok i händerna på varje amerikan - eller rättare sagt varje människa.« | Celeste Ng, The Guardian

James Baldwin's electrifying first novel.'I had to deal with what hurt me most. I had to deal with my father.'Drawing on James Baldwin's own boyhood in a religious community in 1930s Harlem, his first novel tells the story of young Johnny Grimes. Johnny is destined to become a preacher like his father, Gabriel, at the Temple of the Fire Baptized, where the church swells with song and it is as if 'the Holy Ghost were riding on the air'. But he feels only scalding hatred for Gabriel, whose fear and fanaticism lead him to abuse his family. Johnny vows that, for him, things will be different. This blazing tale is full of passion and guilt, of secret sinners and prayers singing on the wind. 'His prose hit me, almost winding me with its intensity. I'd never read a novel that described loneliness and desire with such burning eloquence' Douglas Field, Guardian'A beautiful, enduring, spirtual song of a novel' Andrew O'Hagan

The New York Times bestseller based on the Oscar nominated documentary filmIn June 1979, the writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin embarked on a project to tell the story of America through the lives of three of his murdered friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. He died before it could be completed. In his documentary film, I Am Not Your Negro, Raoul Peck imagines the book Baldwin never wrote, using his original words to create a radical, powerful and poetic work on race in the United States - then, and today. 'Thrilling . . . A portrait of one man's confrontation with a country that, murder by murder, as he once put it, "devastated my universe"' The New York Times'Baldwin's voice speaks even more powerfully today . . . the prose-poet of our injustice and inhumanity . . .

'This is the work of a born storyteller at the height of his powers' Edmund White, Washington PostWhen Arthur Montana, world-renowned 'Emperor of Soul', is found dead in a London pub, his grief-stricken brother looks back over thirty years in the lives of their group of friends: from their childhood spent preaching and singing in Harlem churches, to their struggles with war and poverty, and their encounters with wealth, love and fame.Set against a vividly drawn background of the civil rights movement of the sixties, Baldwin's last novel is a monumental saga that ranges from New York to Paris, Korea to Africa to portray how profoundly racial politics can shape life, especially in the private business of love.'Warm, melancholy . . . Hall Montana's voice is the conduit for Baldwin's most distinctive quality as a writer, his abundant tenderness' The New York Times

“It comes as a great shock to discover that the country which is your birthplace and to which you owe your life and your identity, has not, in its whole system of reality, evolved any place for you”.James Baldwin was one of America’s most powerful analysts of the psychology of white supremacy. In this speech, delivered in 1965 at the Cambridge Union Society, he offers a devastating, but also strikingly empathetic, account of the role played by racism in American society.Eris Gems make available in the form of beautifully produced saddle-stitched booklets a series of outstanding short works of fiction and non-fiction.

'Until I die there will be those moments, moments seeming to rise up out of the ground like Macbeth’s witches, when his face will come before me, that face in all its changes, when the exact timbre of his voice and tricks of his speech will nearly burst my ears, when his smell will overpower my nostrils...'Giovanni's Room is set in the Paris of the 1950s, where a young American expatriate finds himself caught between his repressed desires and conventional morality. David has just proposed marriage to his American girlfriend, but while she is away on a trip he becomes involved in a doomed affair with a bartender named Giovanni. With sharp, probing insight, James Baldwin's classic narrative delves into the mystery of love and tells an impassioned, deeply moving story that reveals the unspoken complexities of the human heart.

Novelist, essayist, and public intellectual - James Baldwin is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. This Everyman's Library collection includes his bestselling, galvanizing essay The Fire Next Time—which gave voice to the emerging civil rights movement of the 1960s and still lights the way to understanding race in America today—along with three additional brilliant works of nonfiction by this seminal chronicler and analyst of culture. From No Name In the Street's extraordinary history of the turbulent sixties and early seventies to the "passionate, probing, controversial" (The Atlantic) Nobody Knows My Name and the incisive criticism of American movies in The Devil Finds Work, Baldwin's stunning prose over and over proves relevant to our contemporary struggle for equality, justice, and social change.

In this tender, impassioned fourth novel, James Baldwin created one of his most striking characters: a man struggling to become himself.'Everyone wishes to be loved, but in the event, nearly no one can bear it'At the height of his theatrical career, the actor Leo Proudhammer is nearly felled by a heart attack. As he hovers between life and death, we see the choices that have made him enviably famous and terrifyingly vulnerable. For between Leo's childhood on the streets of Harlem and his arrival into the world of the theatre lies a wilderness of desire and loss, shame and rage. And everywhere there is the anguish of being black in a society that seems poised on the brink of racial war. In this tender, angry 1968 novel, James Baldwin created one of his most striking characters: a man struggling to become himself.'The emotion surrounding family attachment... is deeply felt and is one reasons he continues to be read with such intensity' Colm Tóibín
