Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Benchmarks is mostly made up of a series of letters written by Adrienne, a Parisian lawyer who is waging a difficult and lonely battle against her attraction to Alex, a visitor from Australia, her partner's ex-lover.The letters, on their own, carry the plot - the tension - but there is also Alex's insight into her own frustrated wait, into her own longing for Adrienne who can bring herself to organize private time with Alex who, by then, is residing in the south of France, nor put an end to their tenuous link through correspondence.The letters span a period of about six months, and tell the essence of an impossible love affair between the two women - impossible in terms of geographical distance and loyalties (Adrienne's loyalty to her long term partner, Sophie, and Alex's loyalty to her long term friend, the same Sophie).Saint-Clair's prose is sensually evocative. The desire that draws Alex and Adrienne to each other is palpable, but, so, too, is the male brutality and raw injustice that is fragmented around the tender portrayal of this women's same-sex love tale.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An Autobiography like Something Out of the Arabian NightsIn this lively and witty autobiography, Essad Bey, a.k.a. Lev Nussimbaum, tells us the story of his childhood in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and of his flight from the Russian Revolution in 1917, which brought him first straight through the Caucasus, then to Istanbul - where this book concludes - and finally to Berlin.When Essad Bey speaks of the people of the Caucasus and their customs so strange to us, a sort of anthropological cabinet of curiosities unfolds before our eyes, and we cannot help but be astonished. All the while, through his affectionate and sometimes openly ironic words, even the excesses of the Revolution sound like children's pranks and his hair-raising escape like an adventure novel. 'Blood and Oil in the Orient' is an informative and entertaining book; in the 1930s, it was a bestseller in the U.S. and Germany.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Essad Bey, the sickly son of an oil millionaire from Baku, Azerbaijan, receives permission from his father to spend the summer with his 'milk brother' (that is, with whom he was nursed by the same Caucasian nanny) Ali Khan, passing the holiday in his home village in the wild Caucasus. So the two set out, under the custody of a wise attendant, into an archaic world in which chivalry counted more than buying power and poets were more highly regarded than princes - into a country in which, as a kind of curiosity shop of world history, all that is outlived and forgotten was loyally preserved.'This is Essad Bey's second book, which was first published in English in 1931. In it the author draws upon his Oriental imaginative powers, conjuring a vast panorama of the Caucasus, its people and customs. The result is a fresh and densely atmospheric work, even if not always laying claim to scientific accuracy. Often adding a touch of imagination, the author succeeds in bringing the heart and soul of this archaic world to life, which he had himself experienced and learned to love as a child.…
