National Book Award, Fiction, 2000The Volcano Lover, Susan Sontag's best-selling 1992 novel, retold the love account of Emma Female Hamilton and Lord Nelson with consummate power. Within this enthralling audiobook - once again based on a genuine account - Sontag shows us our very own country on the cusp of modernity. In 1876 several Poles led by Maryna Zalewska, Poland's ideal actress, happen to be California to found a "utopian" commune. Maryna, that has renounced her career, is associated with her small boy and husband; in her entourage is a increasing young writer who is deeply in love with her. The novel portrays a Western world that is still largely clear, where white settlers confront local Californians and Asian coolies. The image of America, and of California - as dream, as get away from, as radical simplification - constantly fits a more sophisticated truth. The commune fails and the majority of the émigrés go back home, but Maryna keeps and triumphs on the American stage. In America is a major, juicy, astonishing audiobook - in regards to a woman's search for self-transformation, about the destiny of idealism, about the world of the theatre - that will captivate listeners from the first chapter. It is Sontag's most scrumptious, most brilliant accomplishment.
