Audiobooks by Erica Jong

"Con más de veintisiete millones de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo desde su primera publicación en 1973, Miedo a volar es una novela revolucionaria considerada ya como un clásico de culto. Antes de Anastasia de Cincuenta sombras de Grey, Hannah de Girls y Carrie de Sexo en Nueva York, estaba Isadora Wing. Henry Miller dijo... «Este libro hará la historia de la literatura. Gracias a él las mujeres van a encontrar su propia voz y a darnos grandes sagas sobre el sexo, la vida, la alegría, y la aventura.» Soñadora compulsiva, acosadora de psiquiatras y autora de poemas eróticos, Isadora Wing tiene fobia a volar, pero no va a permitir que el miedo le impida subirse a un avión. Durante un viaje a Viena para asistir a un congreso sobre psicoanálisis junto a su marido psiquiatra, conoce a un desinhibido analista que parece la encarnación de su ideal erótico. Ese encuentro le permitirá alejarse de su marido para emprender una búsqueda de su propia forma de liberación. En los efervescentes años setenta, Miedo a volar alimentó las fantasías y encendió los debates sobre las mujeres y el sexo en medio mundo. Hoy las aventuras y desventuras eróticas de la protagonista, narradas con un ingenio, exuberancia y sinceridad que durante siglos solo se les permitió a los hombres, se han convertido en el icono literario de la liberación de la mujer. Críticas: «Miedo a volar tiene clase y descaro, brillo y sarcasmo. Además de erigirse como un florecimiento de lo más brillante y exuberante en el sediento jardín del 'despertar' de la conciencia femenina, pertenece y prolonga de manera hilarante la tradición de El guardián entre el centeno y El lamento de Potnoy.» John Updike, The New Yorker «Trasciende el hecho de ser un libro de una mujer y se convierte en un contemporáneo Ulises, con un Harold Bloom mujer que tropieza y anda a tientas, pero que sobrevive.» The Wall Street Journal «Extraordinaria. Tremendamente divertida y muy sabia a la vez.» Los Angeles Times «Una aventura picaresca, divertida y conmovedora la de Isadora Wing, que huye de su marido psicoanalista y se lanza en busca de la alegría y de su yo verdadero.» New York Review of Books «Este libro hará la historia de la literatura. Gracias a él las mujeres van a encontrar su propia voz y a darnos grandes sagas sobre el sexo, la vida, la alegría, y la aventura.» Henry Miller"

[German] - Angst vorm Fliegen (ungekürzt): Roman

"»Bigamie heißt, dass man einen Mann zu viel hat. Monogamie heißt dasselbe.« Anonym (eine Frau) Mit einem kritischen Nachwort zur Neuübersetzung von Lilian Peter Isadora Wing, jüdische Lyrikerin und Journalistin aus der Upper West Side von New York City, ist an einem Scheideweg angelangt. Nach fünf Jahren Ehe reizen sie viele Dinge: Männer reizen sie, Einsamkeit reizt sie und Sex reizt sie. Als sie trotz ihrer Flugangst mit ihrem Mann zu einer Psychoanalytiker-Konferenz nach Wien reist, stürzt sie sich dort kurzerhand in eine Affäre mit seinem Kollegen Adrian. Es beginnt eine Reise, die sie im Zickzackkurs durch Europa, zu sexuellen Abenteuern und letztlich zu sich selbst führt. Furchtlos, erfrischend und mit unwiderstehlichem Witz erzählt Erica Jong in ihrem feministischen Klassiker von Autonomie, weiblicher Lust und den ganz großen Fragen im Leben. Angst vorm Fliegen ist auch 50 Jahre nach Erstveröffentlichung ein literarisches Ereignis und hat nichts an Durchschlagskraft verloren. »Klug, kühn, mutig und am wichtigsten, sehr lustig.« Meg Wolitzer »Unerschrocken und erfrischend.« John Updike, The New Yorker »Dieses Buch wird Literaturgeschichte schreiben.« Henry Miller"

[Italian] - Senza cerniera - La mia vita

"L'infanzia in una famiglia colta e stravagante, fra libri, arte e case di bambole, con madre e padre innamorati per tutta la vita; i tre anni in Germania al seguito del primo marito, medico in servizio in una base americana; taccuini fitti di poesie e pensieri sull'essere donna, e in sottofondo i Beatles; l'istinto materno e l'amore per i cani; le altre passioni e gli altri matrimoni (sono quattro in tutto); la società americana, com'è cambiata e dove sta andando; e naturalmente la scrittura, fonte di indipendenza e successo, e le letture importanti, gli incontri indimenticabili, il valore dello storytelling. Un libro onesto e avvincente come chi l'ha scritto, un bel posto dove incontrare di nuovo una delle personalità più interessanti del nostro tempo. © 2021 by Erica Mann Jong - @ 2021 Giunti Editore S.p.A./Bompiani"

[Italian] - Paura di volare

"Prima di Carrie Bradshaw in ''Sex and the City'' e di Anastasia Steele in ''Cinquanta sfumature di grigio'', c'era Isadora Wing, la protagonista disinibita ed esplicita del romanzo rivoluzionario di Erica Jong. Pubblicato per la prima volta negli Stati Uniti nel 1973, ''Paura di volare'' ha destato da subito scalpore, alimentando le fantasie dei lettori e infiammando il dibattito sul sesso e le donne. John Updike ha scritto che Isadora Wing ''riserva al corpo maschile più parole gentili di ogni altro autore dai tempi di 'Fanny Hill'''. Il racconto esuberante e sincero delle avventure - e disavventure - sessuali di Isadora, con le sue osservazioni penetranti su matrimonio, maternità e ambizione, continua oggi a provocare e ispirare, restando un'icona della scoperta di sé e dell'emancipazione femminile. © 1973 by Erica Mann Jong - © 2018 Giunti Editore S.p.A."

Fear of Flying

"Originally published in 1973, the groundbreaking, uninhibited story of Isadora Wing and her desire to fly free caused a national sensation. In The New York Times, Henry Miller compared it to his own classic, Tropic of Cancer and predicted that ''this book will make literary history...'' It has sold more than twelve million copies. Now, after thirty years, the revolutionary novel known as Fear of Flying still stands as a timeless tale of self-discovery, liberation, and womanhood."

Sappho's Leap

"Life has always been a banquet for Sappho, one to be savored to the fullest. Following a magnificent destiny, her strange and sensual odyssey has carried her to the far corners of the ancient world, from Delphi to Egypt, to the Land of the Amazons, and the realm of Hades. For Sappho, it was always about love—love that seduced her into a plot to depose a dictator, and love that made her trade an unwanted marriage bed of a despised and drunken husband for a seemingly endless series of lovers, both male and female. Sappho's Leap is a journey back 2,600 years into the heart and mind of the greatest romantic poet the world has ever known. Through every grand affair and every wild adventure, she has remained forever true—to her heart, to her passion, and to and herself. Fearless and unrestrained, Sappho is a most unforgettable heroine."
