Baumgartner's life has been defined by his deep, abiding love for his wife, Anna. But now Anna is gone, and Baumgartner is embarking on his seventies whilst trying to live with her absence. Rich with compassion, wit and Auster's keen eye for beauty in the smallest, most transient episodes of ordinary life, Baumgartner is a tender late masterpiece of the ache of memory. It asks: why do we find such meaning in certain moments, and forget others?

Professor Seymour T. Baumgartner, unter Freunden Sy, ist ein über siebzigjähriger emeritierter Phänomenologe aus Princeton, der sich dem Schreiben philosophischer Bücher und, zunehmend, seinen Jugendreminiszenzen widmet: seiner kleinbürgerlichen Herkunft aus Newark; der schwierigen Ehe der Eltern, dem Collegebesuch und einem Studienaufenthalt in Paris; schließlich der wie ein Blitz einschlagenden Liebe zur Übersetzerin und Dichterin Anna, mit der er die glücklichsten Jahre verbrachte, bevor sie vor zehn Jahren einem Badeunfall zum Opfer fiel.

Listen to the uber-hot, fun-in-the-sun, coming-of-age book that started it all! Ronnie, now a college freshman, has been babysitting for the Baumgartners so long, she's practically a member of the family. When Mrs. Baumgartner - who insists on calling her Veronica - invites Ronnie along on their yearly vacation, the nanny jumps at the chance.

Vivir con miedo a perder es negarse a vivir. El esperado regreso a la novela de Paul Auster. Baumgartner es un eminente escritor y profesor universitario, tan excéntrico como increíblemente tierno, que hace nueve años perdió a su mujer. Su vida estuvo definida por el amor profundo y duradero que sentía hacia Anna y ahora, con 71 años, continúa luchando por vivir en su ausencia. Su historia común arranca en 1968, cuando se conocen como estudiantes sin dinero en Nueva York y a pesar de ser casi opuestos en muchos aspectos, inician una apasionada relación que se prolongará a lo largo de cuarenta años.

It’s Christmas Eve at Scranton’s finest paper company, and Michael Scott is nowhere to be found. As the office dozes off after their raucous holiday party, two mysterious visitors sneak in: a Santa peddling holiday cheer and that’s what she said jokes, and his beet-loving, dutiful, right-hand elf. Armed with absurd gifts for the staff, tacky decorations for the office, and absolutely nothing good for Toby, the two prepare to give Dunder Mifflin a holiday they’ll never forget.

Everyone has an alternate form. Lucky people never shift into it. For everyone else, there’s the Magical Probation Department. MPD Officer Angela Jones has spent her entire career helping shifters get back into their human forms and ensuring they can manage their magical powers. Her methods are a little unconventional, but she’s built a strong community of people who help each other. A far cry from her coworkers who would rather emulate the tough guy hero of “Shift Enforcers,” protecting the world from shifters at any cost and grabbing all the glory along the way.

Professore di filosofia, vedovo da dieci anni, Seymour Baumgartner non si è mai rassegnato alla perdita dell'amata moglie Anna, traduttrice e poetessa, e affronta la vita con un senso di straniamento e una certa goffaggine. Nonostante le malinconie e gli acciacchi dell'età, però, Baumgartner è una persona affabile e generosa. Possiede la saggezza di chi ha vissuto e sa quanto sono importanti i rapporti umani, che vanno coltivati con cure continue e una buona dose di ironia e di umorismo.

Janie has moved to New York to try to make it as a writer, all the while serving as part-time lover in a polyamorous relationship with Veronica and TJ and full-time nanny to their daughter, Beth. Janie's life is already incredibly full when she runs into an agent one morning who sees great potential in her - and not just as an author. As Janie's relationship with Josh blooms and her career takes off, Ronnie's happy surprise turns into a problem that even a vacation in a mountain cabin with the Baumgartners can't fix.

In spite of a brief experimentation early in their relationship, Doc and Carrie Baumgartner have since maintained a monogamous marriage without too much difficulty or even temptation - until now. A move far from home, coupled with new friends and long hours away from each other, have left the young Baumgartner couple on shaky ground. Doc believes bringing in someone "new" like they did early in their relationship might add just the spice their marriage needs, but Carrie isn't so sure about that plan.

Doc and Mrs. B have hired a new au pair, and she's crazy about the Baumgartners. Poor rejected Gretchen, fired from her previous job and still licking her wounds from a recent breakup, is desperately seeking the kind of attention and affection only the Baumgartners can offer. So why do they seem to thwart her advances at every turn? It isn't as if the polyamorous couple has been secretive about their fondness for threesomes.

The broad-minded Baumgartners are ready to open their arms - and their marriage - once again. While Ronnie, their former flirtatious babysitter, is exploring her newfound naughty nature with her lover, Gretchen, Doc and Mrs. B have their sights set on old friends, Daphne and Ari Wilson.

Ronnie (or "Veronica" as Mrs. B always insisted on calling her) is all grown up with a family of her own, and the Christmas she babysat for the Baumgartners is just a pinpoint in her memory. That is, until a persistent suggestion of a threesome by her husband, T.J., brings it all flooding back. When she reveals how the Baumgartners and the nanny, Gretchen, had seduced her during her time in Key West, her husband takes it upon himself to make some phone calls. Opportunity, or perhaps fate, presents itself, and Ronnie and her husband get an invitation to join Gretchen and the Baumgartners on their vacation.

As their son Henry gets married, Doc and Carrie have sent their last little fledgling off to fly and are ready to follow their bliss together as a couple. The whole Baumgartner clan has now welcomed Doc and Carrie's latest romantic interest, Jody, a changeable, charming Southern belle whose colloquialisms keep everyone delightfully amused. While Carrie's love for Jody goes way back, now Doc has fully embraced her, too - in so many ways.

Henry's in trouble. He's gone from being a big fish in a little pond in his home town to being a very small fish in a much bigger pond at college, and he's just not keeping up. Instead of passing him through his classes because of his athletic ability like they did in high school, he discovers his professors actually mean it when they say he needs to do the work or he's going to fail his classes-and be kicked off the all-star hockey team.
