Summary
When both his wives die in childbirth, Stefan Blau travels from America to his native village in Germany, marries again, and returns to the states, where he has built a huge apartment house that threatens to take over his life. The complicated relationships among Stefan's three children form the nucleus of this century-long family saga that spans both world wars.

Media Reviews
"Hegi is an old-fashioned storyteller, and her characters are deeply engaging. She keeps a dozen distinct plot lines going at once and manages to give them each equal weight, so the reader never scans ahead through one to find out what will happen in the next....But despite its substantial length, THE VISION OF EMMA BLAU feels like a small novel in many ways....Every member of the Blau family seems to live in his or her own individual pod, close to the ones that they love without ever really touching....Unfortunately, it's hard to make a book about isolation feel compelling." -- Ann Patchett
-- Chicago Tribune Books
"Ms. Hegi has a canny eye for the lingering effects of a German background on manners, furniture, and food, and also for the subtle resentments created by the family's cross-cultural heritage. This is a novel of wide range, richly interesting in both character and episode." -- Phoebe-Lou Adams
-- Atlantic Monthly
"THE VISION OF EMMA BLAU is densely populated, and Ms. Hegi has mixed success in making the reader care for her characters....There's also some clunky writing." -- Gabriella Sterne
-- Wall Street Journal
"This is a capacious and at times exhausting novel. There are many characters to keep track of...[and] some potentially fascinating characters are summarily sketched....Eventually, though, I came to realize that individual characters are secondary to THE VISION OF EMMA BLAU....The constellation that is the family is the true subject of this novel." -- Diana Postlethwaite
-- New York Times Book Review
"This is a great saga-wurst of a novel, a generational smorgasbord, a Virginia Reel of a novel, with its complex family at the core....But in the end, there are too many balls in the air; they don't spin quickly enough to abandon their individual orbits and blend into one continuous loop, as they must to hold the book together." -- Susan Salter Reynolds
-- Los Angeles Times Book Review

Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Price inside dustcover: $25.00 - Tight spine - Bright pages - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - 432 pages - FROM THE PUBLISHER The Vision of Emma Blau is the luminous epic of a bicultural family filled with passion and aspirations, tragedy and redemption. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Stefan Blau, whom readers will remember from Stones from the River, flees Burgdorf, a small town in Germany, and comes to America in search of the vision he has dreamed of every night. The novel closes nearly a century later with Stefan's granddaughter, Emma, and the legacy of his dream: the Wasserburg, a once-grand apartment house filled with the hidden truths of its inhabitants both past and present. Ursula Hegi creates a fascinating picture of immigrants in America: their dreams and disappointments, the challenges of assimilation, the frailty of language and its transcendence, the love that bonds generations and the cultural wedges that drive them apart. SYNOPSIS If you knew that you could experience a significant love once in your life, would you want these years at the beginning or at the end? The Vision of Emma Blau is the luminous epic of a bicultural family filled with passion and aspirations, tragedy and redemption. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Stefan Blau flees Burgdorf, a small town in Germany, and comes to America in search of the vision that has grafted itself to his mind so tenaciously that he's dreamed of it every night. The novel closes nearly a century later with Stefan's granddaughter, Emma, and the legacy of his dream, a once- grand apartment house filled with the hidden truths of its inhabitants both past and present. Ursula Hegi creates a fascinating picture of immigrants in America: their dreams and disappointments, the challenges of assimilation, the frailty of language and its transcendence, that love that bonds generations and the cultural wedges that drive them irrevocably apart. Told with her celebrated prose and clear-eyed characterization, The Vision of Emma Blau is Ursula Hegi's most powerful and absorbing work. . Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hegi, Ursula
New York: Simon & Schuster, 2000 432 pp.; 25 cm. Gently read, clean copy. Fine DJ. "From one of our most distinctive literary voices -- the eagerly anticipated companion novel to the phenomenal New York Times bestseller, Stones from the River. At the heart of this multigenerational novel by critically acclaimed author Ursula Hegi is an intriguing question: If you knew that you could experience a significant love once in your life, would you want these years at the beginning or at the end? The Vision of Emma Blau is the luminous epic of a bicultural family filled with passion and aspirations, tragedy and redemption. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Stefan Blau flees Burgdorf, a small town in Germany, and comes to America in search of the vision that has grafted itself to his mind so tenaciously that he's dreamed of it every single night. The novel closes nearly a century later with Stefan's grand-daughter, Emma, and the legacy of his dream, a once-grand apartment house filled with the hidden truths of its inhabitants both past and present. Ursula Hegi creates a fascinating picture of immigrants in America: their dreams and disappointments, the challenges of assimilation, the frailty of language and its transcendence, the love that bonds generations and the cultural wedges that drive them irrevocably apart. With her celebrated prose and clear-eyed characterization, Hegi revisits the realm that earned her such wide readership and critical acclaim with Stones from the River. The Los Angeles Times perfectly captured its rare qualities: 'What a novel is supposed to be: epic, daring, magnificent, the product of a defining and mesmerizing vision.' Now, with The Vision of Emma Blau, Hegi has written her most powerful and absorbing book. / Ursula Hegi is the author of Intrusions, Unearned Pleasures and Other Stories, Floating in My Mother's Palm, Stones from the River, Salt Dancers, and Tearing the Silence." - Publisher.. First Edition, First Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Collectible. ( more information) Offered by Left Coast Books (United States)
