Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Offended Sensibilities chronicles a series of sudden deaths that occur among officials of a provincial Russian town. The events in the plot relate to the notorious recent law banning forms of expression that 'offend the sensibilities' of religious believers. With this novel, Ganieva moves beyond the setting and themes of her previous writing to address contemporary themes such as nationalism, Orthodox religiosity, sexuality, and political corruption. She handles these weighty issues with a light touch and at times rollicking sense of humor that will keep readers turning the pages. This timely, entertaining, and thought-provoking novel can be read as an allegory for Russia's current political, social, religious, and cultural climate'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'In this bilingual collection of linked poems, Kefala creates a tapestry of motifs that transcend time and identity across early twentieth-century Cyprus, sixteenth-century Scotland, and more. As the threads of each poem draw together, it is as if the protagonist, in his travels through the twentieth century, encounters the likes of Odysseus, Cervantes, Columbus, and Rembrandt, all moving in multidimensional synchronicity. By gathering these threads, readers participate in the production of meaning, stitching together their own reading of the story. The collection's fluid treatment of time makes a masterful declaration about the function of poetry: perhaps history is nothing more than the presence of innumerable human voices, some more and some less powerful, coexisting in an eternal present'.

As she traveled, Jane was pushed to reckon with her dual role as responsible daughter and teen in the late 60s, the culture of Bobby Fischer, The Beatles, and Hair! Because the World is Round explores what it means to be an individual, a caretaker, and a traveler in a vast and changing world'.
