Brilliant brothers Langley and Homer Collyer are born into bourgeois New York comfort in settled times, their home a fin-de-siècle mansion on upper Fifth Avenue, their future rosy. But before he is out of his teens Homer begins to lose his sight, Langley returns from the War in Europe with his lungs seared by gas, and when the death of their parents in the influenza epidemic of 1918 leaves the brothers orphaned, they seem perilously ill-equipped to deal with the new era. Around Central Park carriages give way to motor cars, Prohibition to free love, but Homer and Langley adapt: their townhouse fills and empties and fills again, with servants, lodgers, tea-dancers and gangsters. They are mocked and spied on, embraced by hippies and besieged by bailiffs, but as the world turns ever more incomprehensible Homer and Langley hold fast to their principles of self-reliance, courage, kindness and love, and they endure.

“Beautiful and haunting . . . one of literature’s most unlikely picaresques, a road novel in which the rogue heroes can’t seem to leave home.”—The Boston Globe SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY San Francisco Chronicle • Chicago Tribune • St. Louis Post-Dispatch • The Kansas City Star • Booklist Homer and Langley Collyer are brothers—the one blind and deeply intuitive, the other damaged into madness, or perhaps greatness, by mustard gas in the Great War. They live as recluses in their once grand Fifth Avenue mansion, scavenging the city streets for things they think they can use, hoarding the daily newspapers as research for Langley’s proposed dateless newspaper whose reportage will be as prophecy. Yet the epic events of the century play out in the lives of the two brothers—wars, political movements, technological advances—and even though they want nothing more than to shut out the world, history seems to pass through their cluttered house in the persons of immigrants, prostitutes, society women, government agents, gangsters, jazz musicians . . . and their housebound lives are fraught with odyssean peril as they struggle to survive and create meaning for themselves. Praise for Homer & Langley “Masterly.”—The New York Times Book Review “Doctorow paints on a sweeping historical canvas, imagining the Collyer brothers as witness to the aspirations and transgressions of 20th century America; yet this book’s most powerfully moving moments are the quiet ones, when the brothers relish a breath of cool morning air, and each other’s tragically exclusive company.”— O: The Oprah Magazine “A stately, beautiful performance with great resonance . . . What makes this novel so striking is that it joins both blindness and insight, the sensual world and the world of the mind, to tell a story about the unfolding of modern American life that we have never heard in exactly this (austere and lovely) way before.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Wondrous . . . inspired . . . darkly visionary and surprisingly funny.” —The New York Review of Books “Cunningly panoramic . . . Doctorow has packed this tale with episodes of existential wonder that cpature the brothers in all their fascinating wackiness.”—Elle

Reclus dans leur maison de la Cinquième Avenue depuis la disparition de leurs parents en 1918, deux frères aussi cultivés qu'excentriques traversent le siècle en assumant une ardente vocation d'ermites, que viennent, à leur grand dam, mettre à mal deux guerres mondiales et de perturbantes irruptions, dans leur solitude, des multiples acteurs de la comédie humaine dont New York est le théâtre - avec ses immigrants, ses prostituées. ses gangsters et autres musiciens de jazz. Pianiste aveugle passionné de musique classique. grand amateur de femmes, Homer est à peine plus raisonnable que son frère, Langley, esprit rebelle et farfelu, friand d'objets en tout genre - pianos, grille-pain, phonographes, machines à écrire, masques à gaz - qu'il amasse par dizaines au gré de ses lubies, allant même un jour jusqu'à assembler une Ford T dans leur salle à manger. Soucieux de découvrir, en toute chose, son expression ultime, Langley, par ailleurs, classe et archive méthodiquement la presse quotidienne dans l'obsessionnel dessein de créer un journal au numéro unique, éternellement d'actualité, où se trouverait compilée la quintessence même de la vie. Inspiré d'une histoire vraie - celle des frères Collyer, collectionneurs compulsifs retrouvés morts en 1947, ensevelis sous des piles de journaux et de livres -. ce roman drolatique, pétri d'humanité et porté par deux personnages dont la loufoquerie le dispute à l'humour, narre, à sa façon jubilatoire, l'épopée du matérialisme et de la solitude made in USA.

Quase hipnótica em sua intensidade narrativaOs irmãos Homer e Langley, excêntricos personagens dos Estados Unidos do século XX, tornaram-se uma espécie de lenda tragicômica de Nova York. Doctorow toma as liberdades da ficção para recontar sua história sob o ponto de vista de Homer, o irmão cego, numa recomposição intimsta que nos leva a conhecer os interiores da casa e das mentes de duas vidas famosas por sua estranheza.Tendo perdido os pais ainda jovens, os irmãos Collyer passaram décadas abrigados na mansão da família, localizada na nobre Quinta Avenida de Nova York, e ao longo de décadas isolaram-se cada vez mais do mundo externo. Sozinhos em sua fortaleza, lutavam sua solitária cruzada contra o mundo, cercados pelas toneladas de jornais e objetos velhos que guardavam na residência ― incluindo um automóvel, instalado na sala de jantar.A narrativa começa bela e leve, com um Homer adaptando-se à falta de visão e um Langley retornando da guerra. Aos poucos, porém, a insanidade se infiltra nas vidas dos irmãos, até o ponto em que a circulação na casa torna-se difícil e em que, devendo milhares de dólares em hipoteca e contas de luz e outros serviços públicos, tornam-se famosos na Nova York na época.Doctorow se reserva o direito que só a literatura permite de penetrar na misteriosa residência dos Collyer para, além de imaginar o passar dos anos de duas vidas abandonadas, reviver uma triste mas rica história de excentricidade e solidão.
