In 1919 Emily Ehrlich watches as two young airmen, Alcock and Brown, emerge from the carnage of World War One to pilot the very first non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to the west of Ireland. In 1845 Frederick Douglass, a black American slave, lands in Ireland to champion ideas of democracy and freedom, only to find a famine unfurling at his feet. And in 1998 Senator George Mitchell criss-crosses the ocean in search of an elusive Irish peace. Stitching these stories intricately together, Colum McCann sets out to explore the fine line between what is real and what is imagined, and the tangled skein of connections that make up our lives.

Excerpt from Trans-Atlantic Passenger Ships: Past and Present The writer of this book of reference makes no claim to sending it forth as a complete and exhaustive treatment of the subject. The task of listing and describing every steamer, freight or passenger, which has engaged in the North Atlantic trade since 1840 would have necessitated a volume many times larger than is the present one. However, the writer has endeavored to include in the list every important passenger ship which has been employed in this service since its inception, together with a large percentage of the lesser known steamships. Should any errors or noteworthy omissions be discovered in the text the writer would much appreciate having his attention drawn to the matter, in order that the necessary corrections may be made in subsequent editions. He acknowledges with gratitude the assistance rendered by Mr. Stephen Gmelin and Mr. Grant S. Taylor in the matter of supplying some of the exact dates upon which certain vessels were scrapped. This phase of the compilation required much laborious research. In fact, it has convinced me that it is almost impossible to obtain in full the necessary data regarding the final disposition of every transatlantic ship. Included in these expressions of appreciation must be also those addressed to Mr. Fred C. Poyser of the Nautical Photo Agency in England for the generous permission given for the use of reproductions of ship photographs. It was early in 1930 that I first contacted Mr. Poyser via transatlantic correspondence. Since that time I have been indebted to him for many admirable pictures, and the correspondence we carried on through the years has been instrumental in keeping alive my keen interest in ships and shipping.

Mytomspunnen satirisk roman »Alla Stora ord börjar skramla tomt i denna spexiga slapstick mellan Fadern och Sonen. Trans-Atlantic är en konstens pamflett mot ideologierna.« | Mikael van Reis, GP »Det är en litteratur i världsklass.« | Anna Hallberg, DN När Polen invaderas och andra världskriget bryter ut befinner sig den polske författaren Witold Gombrowicz i Argentina, helt avskuren från hemlandet. Utan pengar i främmande land och omgiven av landsmän vars stela patriotism han inte kan dela tvingas han möta den nya tidens våld. Ungefär här upphör likheten mellan verklighetens och diktens Gombrowicz. Trans-Atlantic är en satir, en språkfest, en skröna, ett fantasifoster, ett piratskepp som vill spränga nationalismen i luften. Som så ofta när Gombrowicz är inblandad vidtar en smått osannolik händelseutveckling. En fest på den polska beskickningen spårar ut i en duell där den unge författaren blir indragen som sekundant. En duell som kommer att handla om så mycket mer: fader mot son, dåtid mot nutid - kanske kan den till slut också peka ut en ny riktning? Den mytomspunna exilromanen Trans-Atlantic, publicerad första gången i sin helhet i Paris 1953, är en uppgörelse med nationalidentiteten som förvandlar själva modersmålet till ett främmande landskap. Gombrowicz skriver en rasande pastisch på en gammal polsk genre, en sorts barockskröna nedtecknad av adelsmän på 1600-talet - hans språk är dansande, grammatiken som förryckt. Att översätta romanen är en fullfjädrad utmaning, som Anders Bodegård bemöter med en suveränt elastisk svenska. För förordet står Jan Stolpe. WITOLD GOMBROWICZ [1904-1969] föddes i Polen men tillbringade en stor del av sitt liv i exil. I hemlandet var han svartlistad under en större del av efterkrigstiden. På sextiotalet kom hans stora internationella genombrott som romanförfattare, novellist. »Varken svårt eller begripligt, men frustande lustigt. Under allt en vilja till uppbrott, förnyelse, en vilt fäktande kamp med språket, formen och existensen, vår korta stund på jorden.« | Fabian Kastner, SvD »Gombrowicz är en av de mest djupsinniga sena modernisterna, med ett av de fjäderlättaste anslagen.« | John Updike

Americans and Europeans are divided by more than an ocean when it comes to designing and carrying out policies toward countries that repress human rights, develop weapons of mass destruction, and/or support terrorism and subversion. Accounting for this divide are distinct interests, domestic politics, and above all profound disagreements between Americans and their counterparts in European capitals and Brussels over what tools of foreign policy--sanctions, engagement, military force--to empty to change the behavior of problem countries. The result is that Americans and Europeans often work at cross purposes--and that disagreements over policy toward problem countries threaten both to undermine efforts that promote desired change and transatlantic cooperation in other areas, be it within Europe or in building an open world trading system. This book examines the "problem" countries of Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, and Nigeria. The authors explain sources of American and European differences, consequences for policies designed to influence problem states, and prospects for bridging transatlantic policy rifts. A conclusion by Richard N. Haass places these differences in perspective and suggests what Europe and the United States need to do to ameliorate this tension--and what could transpire if they do not.

Winston Churchill famously described the political alliance between the US and UK as a 'special relationship', but throughout the cultural history of these two countries there have existed transatlantic 'special relationships' of another kind - affairs between British and American citizens who have fallen in love, with one another but often too with the idea(l) of that other place across the ocean. From romantic novelist Elinor Glyn in the 1920s to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle today, this collection examines some of the history, contemporary manifestations and enduring appeal of US-UK romance across popular culture. Looking at both historical and contemporary case-studies, drawn from across film, television, music, literature, news and politics, this is a timely intervention into the popular romantic discourse of US-UK relations, at a critical and transitional moment in the ongoing viability of the special relationship.

While there are still occasional uses of it today, the term "Central Europe" carries little of the charge that it did in the 1980s and early 1990s, and as a political and intellectual project it has receded from the horizon. Proponents of a distinct cultural profile of these countries—all involved now in the process of Transatlantic integration—used "Central European", as a contestation with the geo-political label of Eastern Europe. This book discusses the transnational set of practices connecting journals with other media in the mid-1980s, disseminating the idea of Central Europe simultaneously in East and West. A range of new methodologies, including GIS-mapping visualization, is used, repositing the political-cultural journal as one central node of a much larger cultural system. What has happened to the liberal humanist philosophy that "Central Europe" once evoked? In the early years of the transition era, the liberal humanist perspective shared by Havel, Konrád, Kundera, and Michnik was quickly replaced by an economic liberalism that evolved into neoliberal policies and practices. The author follows the trajectories of the concept into the present day, reading its material and intellectual traces in the postcommunist landscape. She explores how the current use of transnational, web-based media follows the logic and practice of an earlier, 'dissident' generation of writers.

Dangerous Pilgrimages is a dazzling analysis of the thriving traffic in fiction between the Old World and the New. Since before Plato, the Old World has been inventing and refining its images of the New. And, since explorers called it into being, the New World has been looking back to the Old, borrowing its traditions to write the new rules and distil the truths that came to be self-evident. Reports travelled fast, but icons travelled better. And if there has always been a gap between image and reality, it has opened out into rare entertainment - above all in the novel, a form that flourished as a result of the great transatlantic encounter.
