An education in a portmanteau: George Steiner at The New Yorker collects his best work from his more than 150 pieces for the magazine. Between 1967 and 1997, George Steiner wrote more than 130 pieces on a great range of topics for The New Yorker, making new books, difficult ideas, and unfamiliar subjects seem compelling not only to intellectuals but to “the common reader.” He possesses a famously dazzling mind: paganism, the Dutch Renaissance, children’s games, war-time Britain, Hitler’s bunker, and chivalry attract his interest as much as Levi-Strauss, Cellini, Bernhard, Chardin, Mandelstam, Kafka, Cardinal Newman, Verdi, Gogol, Borges, Brecht, Wittgenstein, Chomsky, and art historian/spy Anthony Blunt. Steiner makes an ideal guide from the Risorgimento in Italy to the literature of the Gulag, from the history of chess to the enduring importance of George Orwell. Again and again everything Steiner looks at in his New Yorker essays is made to bristle with some genuine prospect of turning out to be freshly thrilling or surprising.

«George Steiner no sólo ha sido uno de los críticos más eruditos y reflexivos que jamás hayan publicado en The New Yorker; ha sido, dentro del ámbito de sus intereses, uno de los más generosos.»John Updike Entre 1967 y 1997, George Steiner escribió para The New Yorker más de 150 artículos y reseñas sobre gran variedad de asuntos, haciendo que ideas difíciles y temas poco familiares resultaran atrayentes no sólo para los intelectuales, sino también para el «gran público». A Steiner le interesan tanto la Inglaterra de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el búnker de Hitler y el mundo caballeresco como Céline, Bernhard, Cioran, Beckett, Borges, Chomsky, Brecht o el historiador-espía Anthony Blunt. En estos artículos sorprendentes por su vívida sencillez, así como profundamente instructivos por su dominio de campos muy diferentes, Steiner nos ofrece una guía ideal que abarca desde la literatura del Gulag o la enorme importancia de George Orwell hasta la historia del ajedrez.

Nell’arco di trent’anni, dal 1967 al 1997, George Steiner è stato tra i collaboratori più assidui del «New Yorker», una delle riviste più autorevoli e prestigiose, ineguagliabile per la cura e il livello dei suoi contributi. A un contesto di eccellenza, Steiner ha dato un’impronta inconfondibile, con una serie di saggi esemplari per profondità e lucidità, per la capacità di affrontare tematiche complesse con chiarezza, e spesso con grande forza di provocazione. I testi raccolti in Letture. George Steiner sul «New Yorker» offrono una lezione straordinaria. Attraverso l’esempio, e dunque nella maniera migliore, Steiner insegna come si legge un libro, come si affronta un autore, come si approfondisce un tema (o un enigma culturale), come si crea una connessione inedita che illumina il nostro sguardo sul mondo, come si va dritto al cuore di un problema. Le sue intuizioni sono sempre innescate da un’accurata lettura dei testi, dalla capacità di concentrarsi – al di là e contro ogni faciloneria postmoderna – sul senso di una frase, sul significato delle parole. I giudizi sono sorretti da una profonda cultura e dall’ampiezza degli orizzonti, oltre che da lucidità e autonomia intellettuale. Ad animarlo, come ha riconosciuto Susan Sontag, è il suo impegno a favore della «serietà»: un impegno ravvivato dalla generosità del maestro e dal gusto della provocazione. Un ulteriore motivo di interesse è costituito dai saggi dedicati al nostro paese. Da un lato emergono la conoscenza e l’amore per Dante, Michelangelo o Verdi (ma anche per Salvatore Satta), dall’altro l’attenzione per la nostra storia, dall’unità d’Italia al caso Moro.

George Steiner, the eminent professor of English at Cambridge and Geneva universities, has outlined seven books he has never written, but has always wanted to write, in seven sections. In this fiercely original and audacious work, George Steiner tells of seven books which he did not write. Because intimacies and indiscretions were too threatening. Because the topic brought too much pain. Because its emotional or intellectual challenge proved beyond his capacities. The actual themes range widely and defy conventional taboos: the torment of the gifted when they live among, when they confront, the very great; the experience of sex in different languages; a love for animals greater than for human beings; the costly privilege of exile; a theology of emptiness. Yet a unifying perception underlies this diversity. The best we have or can produce is only the tip of the iceberg. Behind every good book, as in a lit shadow, lies the book which remained unwritten, the one that would have failed better.

A Pulitzer Prize Winner and landmark book from one of the truly original scholars of our time: a magnificent revelation of turn-of-the-century Vienna where out of a crisis of political and social disintegration so much of modern art and thought was born. "Not only is it a splendid exploration of several aspects of early modernism in their political context; it is an indicator of how the discipline of intellectual history is currently practiced by its most able and ambitious craftsmen. It is also a moving vindication of historical study itself, in the face of modernism's defiant suggestion that history is obsolete." -- David A. Hollinger, History Book Club Review "Each of [the seven separate studies] can be read separately....Yet they are so artfully designed and integrated that one who reads them in order is impressed by the book's wholeness and the momentum of its argument." -- Gordon A. Craig, The New Republic "A profound work...on one of the most important chapters of modern intellectual history" -- H.R. Trevor-Roper, front page, The New York Times Book Review "Invaluable to the social and political historian...as well as to those more concerned with the arts" -- John Willett, The New York Review of Books "A work of original synthesis and scholarship. Engrossing." -- Newsweek

When it first appeared in 1975, After Babel created a sensation, quickly establishing itself as both a controversial and seminal study of literary theory. In the original edition, Steiner provided readers with the first systematic investigation since the eighteenth century of the phenomenology and processes of translation both inside and between languages. Taking issue with the principal emphasis of modern linguistics, he finds the root of the "Babel problem" in our deep instinct for privacy and territory, noting that every people has in its language a unique body of shared secrecy. With this provocative thesis he analyzes every aspect of translation from fundamental conditions of interpretation to the most intricate of linguistic constructions.For the long-awaited second edition, Steiner entirely revised the text, added new and expanded notes, and wrote a new preface setting the work in the present context of hermeneutics, poetics, and translation studies. This new edition brings the bibliography up to the present with substantially updated references, including much Russian and Eastern European material. Like the towering figures of Derrida, Lacan, and Foucault, Steiner's work is central to current literary thought. After Babel, Third Edition is essential reading for anyone hoping to understand the debates raging in the academy today.

George Steiner has enjoyed international acclaim as a distinguished cultural critic for many years. The son of central European Jews, he was born in France, fled from the Nazis to New York in 1940, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1944. Through his many books, voluminous literary criticism, and book review articles published in the New Yorker, the Times Literary Supplement, and the Guardian, Steiner has played a major role in introducing the works of prominent continental writers and thinkers to readers in North America and Great Britain. Having escaped the Nazis as a child, Steiner vowed that his work as an intellectual would attempt to understand the tragedy of the Shoah. In Disenchantment, Chatterley focuses on Steiner’s neglected writings on the Holocaust and antisemitism, and places this work at the center of her analysis of his criticism. She clearly demonstrates how Steiner’s family history and education, as well as the historical and cultural developments that surrounded him, are central to the evolution of his dominant intellectual concerns. It is during the 1950s and 1960s, in relation to unfolding discoveries about the Nazi murder of European Jewry, that Steiner begins to study the effects of the Holocaust on language and culture, and then questions the very purpose and meaning of the humanities. The first intellectual biography of George Steiner, Disenchantment provides an invaluable contribution to literary and cultural studies.
