Using both text and 44 striking black-and-white images, the narrative recounts Breton’s brief love affair with an enigmatic young woman, the titular Nadja, and their mutual exploration of the surrealism of everyday life. Translating the novel into English for the first time in nearly sixty years, Mark Polizzotti also contributes an illuminating introduction about the fate of the real Nadja, whose identity remained jealously guarded until the twenty-first century.About NYRB Classics “Once you have discovered the series it’s as if you’ve just gained an incredibly well-read friend who consistently lends you obscure yet highly enjoyable books.” —Vogue “One of the very few happy innovations in contemporary publishing.” —The Atlantic “Possibly the richest source in the entire world of great books you never heard of.” You are receiving this message because you signed up for newsletters from The New York Review or New York Review Books.

A sale for Tove Jansson’s 111th birthday
  Tomorrow, August 9, will mark the 111th birthday of the late Tove Jansson (1914–2001), the famed Finnish creator of the Moomins and the author of a number of books for children and adults, several of which are published in English by NYRB. Though Jansson died in 2001, her reputation has only grown in the time since. A biographical film about her life, Tove, was released in 2020, and a new film adaptation of her beloved novel The Summer Book starring Glenn Close is set to arrive in US theaters this September. As Ursula K. Le Guin wrote of Jansson’s work, “It is prose of the very highest order; it is pure prose. Through its quiet clarity we see unreachable depths, threatening darkness, promised treasures.”For this weekend only, we’re offering a 25% discount on all NYRB Classics by Tove Jansson—The Summer Book (in two editions), Fair Play, The True Deceiver, Sun City, and The Woman Who Borrowed Memories—along with the NYRB Kids reprint of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which includes illustrations by Jansson. The sale ends this Sunday, August 10, at midnight ET. Tove Jansson and the Moomins: The Door Is Always Open  The first-ever U.S. exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Tove Jansson is currently on view at the Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch (10 Grand Army Plaza) as part of a global celebration of the Moomins’ 80th anniversary. The free exhibition traces Jansson’s career from her early work in political satire to her first Moomin stories to her later novels for adults.To complement the exhibition, the BPL will host a number of public programs, workshops, guided tours, panel discussions, and family events throughout the summer.
