Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "It is this perfectly wrought prose and the freshness of Plath's voice in The Bell Jar that make this book enduring in its appeal."USA Today"As clear and readable as it is witty and disturbing."New York TimesSylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, a poignant exploration of a young woman's struggle to na…vigate modern life and womanhood in mid-century America, is her seminal work and an enduring classic that has proven to be just as relevant today as it was when originally published in 1963.Esther Greenwoodbrilliant, beautiful, and enormously talentedis about to embark on what should be the most exciting season of her life: a summer spent in New York City, interning for a magazine.But even though the life that is unfurling before her is everything she wants, she feels apart from it, unable to live in her life the way the other girls staying at the women's hotel seem able to do.And the further apart she feels from the noise and color of life around her, especially after she returns home to Massachusetts, the more she begins to collapse in on herself, slowly slipping farther and farther beneath the waves of her despair as treatment after treatment proves ineffectual. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's mind with such intensity that her breakdown feels visceral and real, one that makes the early days of her recovery feel even more fragile. Plath's exploration into the darkest and most harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The annotated, authorized edition of one of the great literary masterpieces of the twentieth century with commentary by leading Virginia Woolf scholar Mark Hussey.From the seemingly trivial postponement of a visit to a nearby lighthouse, Woolf constructs a remarkable, moving examination of th…e complex tensions and allegiances of family life and conflict between men and women.To the Lighthouse is made up of three powerfully charged visions into the life of the Ramsay family living in a summer house off the rocky coast of Scotland. Told through Woolf's pioneering stream of consciousness technique, there's the serene and maternal Mrs. Ramsay, the tragic yet absurd Mr. Ramsay, their eight children, and assorted holiday guests. With the lighthouse excursion postponed, Woolf shows the small joys and quiet tragedies of everyday life that seemingly could go on forever.But as time winds its way through their lives, the Ramsays face, alone and together, the greatest of human challenges and its greatest triumph-the human capacity for change.A moving portrait in miniature of family life, this work of philosophical fiction also has profoundly universal implications, giving language to the silent space that separates people and the space that they transgress to reach each other.This authorized edition from the Virginia Woolf library features:- Biographical Preface- Chronology- Introduction to the text- Extensive notes- Suggestions for further readingThis annotated edition is the perfect companion to more fully understand To the Lighthouse, its importance in twentieth century literature, and the world of Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A hilarious and original debut novel that skewers our craze for celebrity.Liza Normal, like a million teenagers before her, wants desperately to be famous. If she can't be famous, she'll settle for infamy. But no Pop Idol contest on earth will ever crown someone like Liza, with her spookily v…ulgar 'vocal stylings' and her stripper's wardrobe. Her wits addled by celebrity culture, the ashes of failed stardom in her mouth, she decides to turn her back on her tinsel dreams and embrace her outsider status with a ferocious purity.Colors Insulting to Nature is a brazenly hilarious odyssey through teen humiliation: the crushes who spurn her, the revenges gone wrong, and the dawning realization that life doesn't come with a soundtrack that tells you when to laugh and cry or an audience to applaud at the end. Cintra Wilson is a pyrotechnic wit - the natural heir to Douglas Coupland and the challenger to Dave Eggers. This novel will have readers howling with laughter and writhing with retrospective embarrassment. She is a staggering talent.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The compelling biography of the beautiful, talented Garman sisters and the glittering, romantic era in which they lived. Each of the seven Garman sisters were strikingly beautiful, artistic and wild. Born around the turn of the nineteenth century, most of the siblings were to become involved…in the radical literary and political circles of British life between the First and Second World Wars. Their morals were unconventional: bisexuality, unfaithfulness and illegitimate children were a matter of course. Nevertheless they were high-minded and intensely loyal. They were the last muses: women who were prepared to sideline their own talent, friendships, material comforts - even their own children - in order to beguile and inspire the men they loved. Cressida Connolly's family biography delves into the lives of three of the sisters in intense and revealing detail. Kathleen Garman, the father's favourite, ran away to London to study music. She was spotted by the American sculptor Jacob Epstein, who promptly fell in love with her, and remained his muse until his death. They had three children, she was shot in the shoulder by his first wife and she finally became Lady Epstein in 1955. Mary Garman came to London with Kathleen and studied art at the Slade. She married poet Roy Campbell, who was to become the scourge of the literary establishment by espousing General Franco's side during the Spanish Civil War. Finally there was Lorna Garman, the youngest and most beautiful of all the family. At sixteen she married the wealthy Ernest Wishart, a landowner, communist and founder of the socialist publishing house Laurence & Wishart, who spent most of his life turning a blind eye to his wife's infidelities. Lorna was the love of Laurie Lee's life and they had a daughter. Lucian Freud painted several pictures for her. Through Cressida Connolly's skilfull retelling of these remarkable lives, we get an intimate portrait of a golden age of romance, passion and art that is an original, beguiling read.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu.

This imaginary woman never writes a word and dies by her own hand, her genius unexpressed. But if only she had found the means to create, urges Woolf, she would have reached the same heights as her immortal sibling. In this foundational work of literary criticism, Virginia Woolf takes on the establishment, using her gift for language to dissect the structures of patriarchy and give a voice to those who have none.

Neuware - The annotated, authorized edition of Virginia Woolf's celebrated Mrs. Dalloway, named one of Time's 100 Best Novels, features commentary by Women's Studies professor Bonnie Kime Scott.In this pioneering stream of consciousness novel, a vivid portrait of a single day in a woman's life, Mrs. Cl…arissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of preparation for a party while in her mind she is something much more than a perfect society hostess. As she readies her house for friends and neighbors, she is flooded with remembrances of the past-the passionate loves of her carefree youth, her practical choice of husband, and the approach and retreat of war. And, met with the realities of the present, Clarissa reexamines the choices that brought her there, hesitantly looking ahead to the unfamiliar work of growing old.From the introspective Clarissa, to the lover who never fully recovered from her rejection, to a war-ravaged stranger in the park battling shell shock, the characters and scope of Mrs. Dalloway reshape our sense of ordinary life making it one of the most 'moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century' (Michael Cunningham).This authorized edition from the Virginia Woolf library features:- Biographical Preface- Chronology- Introduction to the text- Extensive notes- Suggestions for further readingThis annotated edition is the perfect companion to more fully understand Mrs. Dalloway, its importance in twentieth century literature, and the world of Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group.
