Gasteropod (15 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A gasteropod is a mollusc or snail, like the specimens whose shimmering shells the narrator of this unusual novel keeps carefully organized in a special room in his gloomy mansion. He also collects photographs, thousands of them carefully preserved in albums in chronological order, recording with a perverse obsession each ephemeral moment of his wife's existence, every embrace with her lover, every wrinkle and mark of decay as she enters middle age.The novel takes place over the course of a single afternoon, as the narrator gazes on the pictures in a portrait gallery while he waits for the arrival of a woman with whom he has made a mysterious assignation. Through a series of flashbacks, his strange story gradually unfolds, like the convolutions of a seashell, leading to the final revelation of his macabre plan to make her the prize specimen of his collection .Maggie Ross's first novel, The Gasteropod (1968), was critically acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for the best British novel of the year. This "chilling, delicate novel" (Pittsburgh Press) that "cannot fail to terrify its readers" (The Austin American) is a mesmerizing reading experience that will linger in readers' minds long after they have finished the book.'The novel cannot fail to terrify its readers.' - The Austin American'A literary marvel . . . a sharp, clever and devastating novel.' - El Paso Times'A chilling, delicate novel . . . a fascinating experience in psychology.' - Pittsburgh Press'A first novel of many shades and subtleties.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Studies on the Effect of Parasitsm Upon the Tissues With Special Reference to Certain Gasteropod Mollusks' is a rigorous scientific investigation into the biological and pathological consequences of parasitic infection within invertebrate hosts. Authored by Helmer Pareli von Wold Kjerschow Agerborg, this work delves into the intricate relationship between parasites and the cellular structures of gastropods, providing detailed observations on how these organisms adapt to and are altered by internal biological stressors.The study focuses on the morphological and physiological changes occurring at the tissue level, offering valuable insights for the fields of malacology, parasitology, and comparative pathology. By examining specific gasteropod species, the research highlights the broader ecological and biological implications of host-parasite dynamics as understood in the early 20th century. This work remains a significant text for researchers interested in the evolutionary history of marine biology and the historical development of microscopic anatomical studies. Its technical approach to documenting tissue degradation and host response makes it a specialized resource for scholars of invertebrate zoology and the history of biological science.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
