Nyrb Classics 10th Anniversary Complete Collection
Nyrb Classics 10th Anniversary Complete Collection | Various, RANDOM HOUSE INC, New York Review Book
23 posts | 1 to read
The NYRB Classics series is designedly and determinedly exploratory and eclectic, a mix of fiction and non-fiction from different eras and times and of various sorts. The series includes nineteenth century novels and experimental novels, reportage and belles lettres, tell-all memoirs and learned studies, established classics and cult favorites, literature high, low, unsuspected, and unheard of. NYRB Classics are, to a large degree, discoveries, the kind of books that people typically run into outside of the classroom and then remember for life. Inevitably literature in translation constitutes a major part of the NYRB Classics series, simply because so much great literature has been left untranslated into English, or translated poorly, or deserves to be translated again, much as any outstanding book asks to be read again. The series started in 1999 with the publication of Richard Hughes's A High Wind in Jamaica. NYRB Classics includes new translations of canonical figures such as Euripides, Dante, Balzac, and Chekhov; fiction by modern and contemporary masters such as Vasily Grossman, Mavis Gallant, Daphne du Maurier, Stefan Zweig, and Upamanyu Chatterjee; tales of crime and punishment by George Simenon and Kenneth Fearing; masterpieces of narrative history and literary criticism, poetry, travel writing, biography, cookbooks, and memoirs from such writers as Norman Mailer, Lionel Trilling, and Patrick Leigh Fermor; and unclassifiable classics on the order of J. R. Ackerley's My Dog Tulip and Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy. Fall 2009 sees the publication of the series' first graphic novel, Poem Strip by Dino Buzzati, translated into English for the first time. Published in handsome uniform trade paperback editions, almost all the 250 NYRB Classics included in this collection feature an introduction by an outstanding writer, scholar, or critic of our day. Taken as a whole, NYRB Classics may be considered a series of books of unrivaled variety and quality for discerning and adventurous readers. This collection includes one each of the following titles: A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes Jakob von Gunten by Robert Walser The Living Thoughts of Kierkegaard by Soren Kierkegaard Lolly Willowes by Sylvia Townsend Warner My Dog Tulip by J.R. Ackerley My Father and Myself by J.R. Ackerley The Other House by Henry James Peasants and Other Stories by Anton Chekhov Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist by Alexander Berkman A Handbook on Hanging by Charles Duff Hindoo Holiday by J.R.

dabbe Hello there, Precious Pickles! 🖤🐾🖤 4mo
jlhammar I was very tempted! I haven‘t read many of the books I got during last year‘s sale so thought I‘d better not. I have The Door and Loved and Missed waiting on my shelves. I‘d love to get to both in 2024. 4mo
squirrelbrain Pickles says ‘I don‘t think you needed any new books, Momma!‘ 4mo
MicheleinPhilly @squirrelbrain Like any of us do??? 4mo
squirrelbrain Henry said the exact same thing to me earlier, when I had 4 books delivered! 🤣 4mo
BarbaraBB So jealous! The sale doesn‘t work for me with all these shipping costs. I loved The Door and In a Lonely Place 4mo
MicheleinPhilly @BarbaraBB Sigh…Remember when Book Depository made all of our dreams come true?? 😩 4mo
Graywacke Those books look so good together. Great picture. 4mo

This may seem like a small thing to some, but I was so excited to see that New York Review Books had a fulfillment center in Vermont send my book to me. Does that mean there a lot of NYRB readers in my area?

vivastory Although these all sound interesting, I'm going to agree with Bert. Ten Thousand Things. (edited) 2y
Leftcoastzen What a glamorous book model!😻 2y
sisilia I vote for Ten Thousand Things 2y
vivastory @GatheringBooks the Dec nominations are posted 2y
BarbaraBB I‘d love to read all three of them but especially The Ten Thousand Things since I read about it in Wild and had never heard of it before (while being Dutch 🤦🏻‍♀️)! 2y
LeahBergen Bert has somehow uncannily picked the only one I own, so I‘ll vote for 2y
sarahbarnes My vote is for The Juniper Tree! And Bert is so handsome! 😍😍 2y
GatheringBooks Ooh! Thanks for having this early! I vote for 2y
quietjenn Bert *may* be in to something, but I'm voting for The Juniper Tree. 2y
batsy All the choices are super interesting but my vote is for Ten Thousand Things since I already have it :) 2y
youneverarrived I‘ve been wanting to read The Juniper Tree so I‘ll go with that 2y
Billypar What's good enough for Bert is good enough for me! 2y
merelybookish I saw this and then forgot to vote. 🤦 2y
mklong Same as @merelybookish 🤦🏻‍♀️ I vote for 2y
arubabookwoman I vote for #TheTenThousandThings. I love Barbara Comyns, but I've read The Juniper Tree (2x!). 2y
Liz_M @vivastory @LeahBergen @Billypar LOL, I suspected Bert would influence the vote, but couldn't get him in a book-neutral pose! 2y
Liz_M I wanted The Juniper Tree to win, because I accidentally bought two copies a while back. 🤦🏻‍♀️ If anyone (@vivastory @Reviewsbylola, @sarahbarnes, @GatheringBooks, @quietjenn, @youneverarrived, @mklong) would like my extra copy let me know! 2y
vivastory I would love a copy of Juniper Tree. That's very generous of you! 2y
quietjenn What a nice offer! One of the reasons The Juniper Tree guy my vote is because I own it 😉, so glad @vivastory could take you up on it. 2y

Is any of my #NYRBbookclub friends or anyone else interested in one of these books? I have a NYRB Classics subscription for a year but soms of the books I received don‘t appeal to me. They are unread and I‘d happily send them along internationally. Please let me know which one you are interested in!

Vansa I've been looking for The Stone Face and the book by Teffi everywhere! How much do you think it would cost to ship to India, and how do I reimburse you for that?! 3y
merelybookish Wow, thanks Barbara! I would take the Walser if no one else is interested. ❤️ 3y
Vansa 😱😱😱that's super nice of you!!!😍😍😍😍😍sending it right away!From vansadee@gmail.com. 3y

sisilia Whoaaaa, so generous of you, Barbara. I‘d love to have Storm 😘 I think it‘s a weird book 3y
BarbaraBB @merelybookish @sisilia I am happy you want them! Please drop me an email where to send them! My email address is ⬆️ 3y
vivastory This is very generous of you! Do you regret signing up for the membership? 3y
Vansa Should have got the mail by now, sorry, was stuck in my outbox! 3y
arubabookwoman Thanks for the offer Barbara. I have the same subscription, so I already have yhose books. Unlike you I am pretty much interested in reading them, except maybe the Teffi. When I'll actually get to them is another story though. 3y
LeahBergen How generous of you, Barbara! ❤️ 3y
BarbaraBB @vivastory To be honest I am a bit. I love so many NYRB titles but the most of the ones in the membership somehow are a bit disappointing though for me. What do you think? I hope that you, like @arubabookwoman, do like them - and read them 😉 (edited) 3y
quietjenn What a lovely offer! I signed up for a subscription this year, so these are all ones I have as well. Am glad that others are taking you up on them! 3y
BarbaraBB @quietjenn Thanks! Are you happy with the choices? I prefer our bookclub‘s 😉 3y
vivastory @BarbaraBB Although I haven't read any of the titles I've received, I'm pretty pleased with it. There are a couple in particular that I was unaware of & am really looking forward to (Good Behavior, Storm, The Stone Face). I do wish that there was an option to choose the monthly selection. (edited) 3y
quietjenn @BarbaraBB with a few exceptions, they've been titles I probably wouldn't have chosen on my own, and #nyrbbookclub had taught me that sometimes I might end up liking and appreciating those (if/when I ever get to them). But, my significant other often has different literary taste than myself, and some of the ones I've been ambivalent about, he's been quite excited for, which works out nicely. And I just love getting it in the mail each month 💌 3y
BarbaraBB @vivastory I loved Good Behavior and I am looking forward to 3y
BarbaraBB @quietjenn I love getting them in the mail too and I have enjoyed some of them. I might have liked these ones too but I don‘t think I‘ll pick them up any time soon 🤷🏻‍♀️😘 3y
BarbaraBB @Vansa @merelybookish @sisilia Books are on their way 😘 3y
Vansa Thank you so much!! Can't wait! Have a great weekend!!😍😍😍 3y
sisilia @BarbaraBB Thank youuuuu😘 3y
Tanisha_A Wow! So lovely of you! ❤️ And, a good collection too. Have they been taken? 3y
BarbaraBB I‘ve got this one left if you are interested @Tanisha_A ? 3y
Tanisha_A @BarbaraBB I just looked it up, and it sounds a good read. Thanks, Barb! I have your email address, will send you my latest address. 🎈 3y
BarbaraBB @Tanisha_A Perfect! I‘ll send it to you! 3y

#nyrbbookclub There is a flash sale on all titles through Monday! Shipping is NOT free, so this may only be a good deal for US residents.

Suet624 For some reason I decided to sign up for another year of NYRB monthly books. I swore I wasn‘t going to but it was such a great deal! 3y
vivastory I thank you. My bank account would like to speak with you 😂 3y
Liz_M @vivastory I may have bought 5 books or so and this is after buying a half dozen at another bookstore sale last week. At this point, I may have spent my book budget through July 2021🤦🤷 (edited) 3y

802Librarian @Suet624 No because I already have it 😁. I did get the others you‘ve been reviewing as part of the book club here though: Cassandra and After Claude. 5y

We are fast approaching the middle of the month, which means nominations for July's selection. I'm looking forward to your choices @sprainedbrain Starting in July the following month's selection needs to be posted ideally by the 1st of the month & no later than by the 7th. This will allow orders from book depository & the library to be fulfilled. So, @mklong you will be posting the August nomination at the beginning, not the middle, of July.

vivastory @emilyhaldi I need to contact you regarding the discussion for After Claude. You can either message me on Goodreads or email me 5y

Liz_M @hilded Moving isn't easy, so there were some difficulties. But the actual day of the move was perfectly smooth. 😀 5y
hilded @Liz_M No, I know - it‘s pretty life consuming, especially when selling the old place. But glad the moving day itself went well 😊 5y
Graywacke Love this bookshelf. Hope you‘re settling in. 5y
AshleyHoss820 SO pretty!! 😍📚 5y
AceOnRoam I feel like you just settled after your last move. Gorgeous books 😍 5y
Liz_M @AceOnRoam Yeah, it's been a quite a year. 🙄 Looking forward to winning the lottery so I can follow in your footsteps (or whatever the appropriate sailing expression should be). 😁 5y
AceOnRoam @Liz_M if I had waited for the lottery, I would still be working! I ended up moving to work in a country with a low tax rate which helped save lots of money to buy a ⛵ 5y

MaGoose Wow! 6y
LauraJ @AlaMich There was a 50% off sale and I‘ve been so good about tackling mount TBR and not buying that I just ran out of willpower. Science has proven that we only have a finite amount of willpower! But yes, I will enjoy! Thanks @bookishmarginalia. 6y
LauraJ @MaGoose Bah! It was more packing than books, but it‘s the perfect size for my cat. Bonus! 6y

My family knows me so well! I just got notice of some early Christmas gifts! I received my first copy of The New York Review of Books and a notice of a subscription to @Tin_House magazine from my parents. Then my wife told me I will also be receive The New York Review of Books book club along with The Paris Review, but not until January. I just became slightly snootier.

Suet624 Congrats!! You'll be fully immersed. 7y

JessieReadsInBK I've never heard of Mercer Street books -- gotta check that out. Thanks! 8y
brendanmleonard @JessieReadsInBK it's a used place, not really organized, and the clerks are kinda grumpy but you can find some great deals. I was in there last week and was drooling over their half price new release hardcovers. 8y
JessieReadsInBK @brendanmleonard thanks for the heads up! 8y
