With incisive analysis, he elucidates the nature of intellectual craftsmanship, defends art's undeniable moral component, and, faced with an academic world shattered by theory, laments how extra-literary politics have grown increasingly dominant, now attempting to eliminate the very category of literature. Whether commenting on Foucault, Pulp Fiction, Georgia O'Keeffe, V.S. Naipaul, or the survival of a core tradition in the humanities, Shattuck presents a stirring synthesis of the principles and values by which we can live together as a nation finally at peace with its diversity. A Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year and a TLS Notable Book of 1999. - Häftad, Engelska, 2001

For any reader who has been humbled by the language, the density, or the sheer weight of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, Roger Shattuck is a godsend. Winner of the National Book Award for Marcel Proust, a sweeping examination of Proust's life and works, Shattuck now offers a useful and eminently readable guidebook to Proust's epic masterpiece, and a contemplation of memory and consciousness throughout great literature. Here, Shattuck laments Proust's defenselessness against zealous editors, praises some translations, and presents Proust as a novelist whose philosophical gifts were matched only by his irrepressible comic sense. Proust's Way, the culmination of a lifetime of scholarship, will serve as the next generation's guide to one of the world's finest writers of fiction. - Häftad, Engelska, 2004

The true story of the nineteenth century’s so-called “Wild Boy of Aveyron”—an abandoned French child who lived for years alone in the wilderness before being brought under the care of an innovative young physician.“Before dawn on January 9, 1800, a remarkable creature came out of the woods near the village of Saint-Sernin in southern France.” So begins Roger Shattuck’s book about the so-called Wild Boy of Aveyron—a child abandoned by his caretakers and captured, years later, while scavenging food from a garden. Unable to speak, he was sent to the National Institute for the Deaf in Paris, declared a hopeless case, and left to languish.One day, however, Jean Itard, a young medical student from the provinces, took notice of the boy. Itard began to spend time with him, and soon the two found ways to interact. With games and toys Itard engaged the boy's senses and imagination, developing methods of education (some of which went on to form a basis for special education and the Montessori method) that brought him out further. For a while Victor—as Itard named him—made progress, but soon it stalled. Isolated behind institutional walls, the boy lived out the rest of his life a stone's throw from the Luxembourg Gardens.The Forbidden Experiment tells the story of a tragic young man and the extraordinary doctor who tried, however imperfectly, to help him. It is a story of compassion, like the case studies of Oliver Sacks—a figure whom Itard foreshadows. It is also a story that leads Shattuck to ask deep questions about the human animal: What is language, how do we acquire it, and what do we become if we are deprived of it? - Häftad, Franska, 2018

Durante la llamada Belle Époque, París se convirtió en el centro cultural del mundo. Un período en el que la relativa paz, los avances científicos, tecnológicos y las nuevas obras de ingeniería invadían un mundo en el que la ociosa burguesía buscaba salir de su hastío con la celebración de grandes banquetes, fiestas donde corría el champán, y las mujeres y hombres abrazaban el adulterio sin sonrojo y los grandes acontecimientos mundiales celebraban cada nuevo invento como una carrera hacia un futuro sin límites a la imaginación.París era una ciudad bulliciosa en la que los artistas estaban agitando las reglas establecidas, era el período de la Bohemia, de los espectáculos de cabarets, de los grandes viajes a tierras ignotas en búsqueda de nuevos paraísos. Un cóctel ideal para crear nuevas formas artísticas que mostraran una visión del mundo nueva y vanguardista. Los llamados artistas bohemios, desde los pintores callejeros, músicos de taberna o escritores experimentales, buscaban contentar a los espectadores ávidos de un nuevo discurso. Así nacen las vanguardias artísticas que cambiarían nuestra concepción del mundo del arte para siempre. Shattuck escoge en este libro a cuatro representantes como ejemplo del período, un poeta, Apollinaire; un pintor, Henry Rosseau; un músico, Erik Satie, y un escritor, Alfred Jarry, cuyas vidas y su búsqueda de nuevos registros son representantes perfectos de esta época y nos sumerge en este París loco, divertido y creativo, pero también despiadado y exagerado.La época de los banquetes desde su publicación ha sido considerada como una de las mayores aportaciones a la comprensión de un período crucial en las artes del siglo xx; el período en el que las vanguardias artísticas nacen de la necesidad de explicar un mundo nuevo y se abren camino para cambiar la percepción hasta entonces establecida.
