El cambio climático es un problema real y podemos hacer algo para solucionarlo: cambiar lo que comemos a diario. La mayoría de los libros que abordan la crisis del medioambiente son densos, académicos y están repletos de estadísticas impersonales. Este no es uno más. Este audiolibro es accesible, inmediato y ofrece una solución clara que se puede poner en practica inmediatamente.

How do we fulfill our conflicting duties as father, husband, and son; wife and mother; child and adult? Jew and American? How can we claim our own identities when our lives are linked so closely to others’? These are the questions at the heart of Jonathan Safran Foer’s first novel in eleven years—a work of extraordinary scope and heartbreaking intimacy. Unfolding over four tumultuous weeks in present-day Washington, D.C., Here I Am is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis.

Jonathan Safran Foer, da piccolo, trascorreva il sabato e la domenica con sua nonna. Quando arrivava, lei lo sollevava per aria stringendolo in un forte abbraccio, e lo stesso faceva quando andava via. Ma non era solo affetto, il suo: dietro c'era la preoccupazione costante di sapere che il nipote avesse mangiato a sufficienza. La preoccupazione di chi è quasi morto di fame durante la guerra, ma che è stato capace di rifiutare della carne di maiale che l'avrebbe tenuto in vita perché non era cibo kosher, perché "se niente importa, non c'è niente da salvare".

A young man arrives in the Ukraine, clutching in his hand a tattered photograph. He is searching for the woman who fifty years ago saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Unfortunately he is aided in his quest by Alex, a translator with an uncanny ability to mangle English into bizarre new forms; a 'blind' old man haunted by memories of the war; and an undersexed guide dog named Sammy Davis Jr., Jr. What they are looking for seems elusive - a truth hidden behind veils of time, language and the horrors of war.

Oskar ist neun, er ist Erfinder, Pazifist, Schmuckdesigner und Tamburinspieler - und er hat eine Menge Fragen, auf die er dringend eine Antwort braucht. Wieso gab es den Anschlag vom 11. September? Warum musste sein Vater eines der Opfer sein? Oskar läuft durch New York, immer auf der Suche nach Antworten und nach etwas, dass ihn von den vielen Gedanken in seinem Kopf ablenkt.

Safran Foer raubt mit seinem Tempo, seiner Sprachgewalt und seinem halsbrecherischen Witz dem Hörer den Atem. Und er lässt einen verstehen, dass manchmal nur Phantasie hilft, den Irrsinn der Welt zu ertragen.

Ein junger Amerikaner kommt in die Ukraine. Er heißt zufällig Jonathan Safran Foer. Im Gepäck hat er das vergilbte Foto einer Frau namens Augustine. Sie soll gegen Ende des 2. Weltkrieges seinen Großvater vor den Nazis gerettet haben. Jonathan will Augustine finden und Trachimbrod, den Ort, aus dem seine Familie stammt. Sein Reiseführer ist ein alter Ukrainer mit einem noch älteren klapprigen Auto, sein Dolmetscher dessen Enkel Alex, ein unglaubliches Großmaul und ein Genie im Verballhornen von Sprache.

Wie viele junge Menschen schwankte Bestsellerautor Jonathan Safran Foer lange zwischen Fleischgenuss und Vegetarismus hin und her...

This is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis. Over the course of three weeks in present-day Washington, DC, three sons watch their parents' marriage falter and their family home fall apart. Meanwhile, a larger catastrophe is engulfing another part of the world: a massive earthquake devastates the Middle East, sparking a pan-Arab invasion of Israel. With global upheaval in the background and domestic collapse in the foreground, Jonathan Safran Foer asks us: what is the true meaning of home?

Oskar, un newyorkese di nove anni a suo modo geniale, ama inventare singolari dispositivi. Inventa camicie di becchime per farsi trasportare in volo dagli uccelli in caso di emergenza, inventa un sistema di tubi collegato ai cuscini di tutti i letti di New York per raccogliere le lacrime di chi piange prima di dormire, riversarle nel laghetto del Central Park e mostrare ogni giorno il livello di sofferenza della sua città. A Oskar capita di piangere sul cuscino, da quando suo padre è morto nell'attacco alle Torri Gemelle.

Qualcuno si ostina a liquidare i cambiamenti climatici come fake news, ma la gran parte di noi è ben consapevole che se non modifichiamo radicalmente le nostre abitudini l'umanità andrà incontro al rischio dell'estinzione di massa. Lo sappiamo, eppure non riusciamo a crederci. E di conseguenza non riusciamo ad agire. Il problema è che l'emergenza ambientale non è una storia facile da raccontare e, soprattutto, non è una buona storia: non spaventa, non affascina, non coinvolge abbastanza da indurci a cambiare la nostra vita.

Con una vecchia fotografia in mano, un giovane studente ebreo americano intraprende un viaggio in Ucraina alla ricerca della donna che (forse) ha salvato suo nonno dai nazisti. Ad accompagnarlo sono il coetaneo Alex, della locale agenzia "Viaggi Tradizione", suo nonno - affetto da una cecità psicosomatica ma sempre al volante della loro auto - e un cane puzzolente.
