Zustand: Sehr gut. Erste Auflage dieser Ausgabe. 217 (1) Seiten. Sehr guter Zustand.Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. "Compulsively readable yet wonderfully complex and unsettling. The book is both a babushka doll of stories within stories and a literary Rubik's Cube, the solution of which, if there is one, is the very nature of reality."--"The Boston Globe". "Auster shines as a fabulist and tale-teller, putting a high-modernist gloss on noir."--"The New Yorker". "A joy to read."--"The Economist". "It's urban mysticism, a poetry of the hidden and the almost forgotten, with the supernatural power deriving equally from the city and the novelist's imagination. . . . A snow globe of a novel."--"New York" magazine. "Oracle Night" is a triumph for novelist Auster. It cements his growing reputation as one of America's most inventive and original writers."--"The Seattle Times". - Paul Benjamin Auster [p??l 'b?nd??m?n '??st?] (* 3. Februar 1947 in Newark, New Jersey) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Zudem arbeitet er als Regisseur, Kritiker, Übersetzer und Herausgeber. Er ist verheiratet mit der Schriftstellerin Siri Hustvedt. . In Paul Austers Werk gibt es starke Bezüge zu den amerikanischen Transzendentalisten des 19. Jahrhunderts, namentlich zu Nathaniel Hawthorne und Henry David Thoreau. Es finden sich Einflüsse des Poststrukturalismus im Sinne von Jacques Derrida und der Psychoanalyse von Jacques Lacan. Auster variiert in seinen Büchern die Frage des Verhältnisses von natürlicher Ordnung zur symbolischen Ordnung der Dinge. Die Transzendentalisten glauben an eine Trennung der Gegensätze, zugleich aber auch an die Möglichkeit der Rückführung zueinander. Lacans Theorie besagt, dass wir die Welt durch Sprache wahrnehmen und strukturieren. Auch unser Unbewusstes konstituiert sich durch Sprache, so dass ein fundamentaler Mangel in der Wahrnehmung der Welt entsteht. Bereiche, die nur gespürt werden können, entziehen sich der sprachlichen Festlegung. Austers Protagonisten sind oft Schriftsteller und Suchende, die sich der scheinbaren Unordnung der Welt und dem Chaos der Ereignisse ausgeliefert fühlen. Die Figuren und mit ihnen ihr Schöpfer er-schreiben sich ihre Rückkehr in geordnete Verhältnisse. Das Finden und Erfinden von Strukturen, sei es im Schreiben imaginärer Bücher und Biografien, sei es im Konstruieren und Auflösen von komplexen Handlungsplots, trotzt dem Zufall als schicksalshaftem Element. Der Autor findet buchstäblich sein Heil in der Sprache. . Aus: wikipedia-Paul_Auster Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 130 17,1 cm. Taschenbuch. Kartoniert.

PAPERBACK, used copy with crease mark on spine and skewed from reading, still good clean copy for reading. WONDRATSCHEK, WOLF. Self-portrait with Russian piano. Translated from the German by Marshall Yarbrough. New York: Picador/Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2021, First Picador paperback edition, 208pp., . "Vienna is an uncanny, magical, and sometimes brutally alienating city. The past lives on in the cafes where lost souls come to kill time and hash over the bygone glories of the twentieth century--or maybe just a recent love affair. Here, in one of these cafes, an anonymous narrator meets a strange character, like someone out of a novel: a decrepit old Russian named Suvorin. A Soviet pianist of international renown, Suvorin committed career suicide when he developed a violent distaste for the sound of applause. This eccentric gentleman--sometimes charming, sometimes sulky, sometimes disconcertingly frank--knows the end of his life is approaching, and allows himself to be convinced to tell his life story. Over a series of coffee dates, punctuated by confessions, anecdotes, and rages--and by the narrator's schemes to keep his quarry talking--a strained friendship develops between the two men, and it soon becomes difficult to tell who is more dependent on whom.".

PAPERBACK, attractive copy with only the slightest crease starting on spine, probably from flipping through it in the store, book really looks unused apart from that. GREEN, DOMINIC. The religious revolution: the birth of modern spirituality, 1848-1898. New York: Picador, 2023, First paperback editon, x, 452pp., . "The late nineteenth century was an age of grand ideas and great expectations fueled by rapid scientific and technological innovation. In Europe, the ancient authority of church and crown was overthrown for the volatile gambles of democracy and the capitalist market. If it was an age that claimed to liberate women, slaves, and serfs, it also harnessed children to its factories and subjected entire peoples to its empires. Amid this tumult, another sea change was underway: the religious revolution. In The Religious Revolution, Dominic Green charts this shift, taking us on a whirlwind journey through the lives and ideas of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman; of Éliphas Levi and Helena Blavatsky; of Wagner and Nietzsche; of Marx, Darwin, and Gandhi. Challenged by the industrialization, globalization, and political unrest of their times, these figures found themselves connecting with the religious impulse in surprising new ways, inspiring others to move away from the strictures of religion and toward the thrill and intimacy of spirituality. We often link the modern era with a rise in secularism, but in this trenchant new work, Green demonstrates how the foundations of our society were laid as much by spirituality as by science or reason. The Religious Revolution is a narrative tour de force that sweeps across several continents and five of the most turbulent and formative decades in history. Threading together seemingly disparate intellectual trajectories, Green illuminates how philosophers, grifters, artists, scientists, and yogis shared in a global cultural moment, borrowing one another's beliefs and making the world we know today."

Schilthuizen, Menno. Darwin comes to town: how the urban jungle drives evolution. New York, N.Y.: Picador, 2018, stated First U.S. edition, with 1st printing number line, viii, 293pp., good dust-jacket with light wear around edges, cover price $27.00, very good green hardcover. "Menno Schilthuizen is one of a growing number of "urban ecologists" studying how our manmade environments are accelerating and changing the evolution of the animals and plants around us. In Darwin Comes to Town, he takes us around the world for an up-close look at just how stunningly flexible and swift-moving natural selection can be. With human populations growing, we're having an increasing impact on global ecosystems, and nowhere do these impacts overlap as much as they do in cities. The urban environment is about as extreme as it gets, and the wild animals and plants that live side-by-side with us need to adapt to a whole suite of challenging conditions: they must manage in the city's hotter climate (the "urban heat island"); they need to be able to live either in the semidesert of the tall, rocky, and cavernous structures we call buildings or in the pocket-like oases of city parks (which pose their own dangers, including smog and free-ranging dogs and cats); traffic causes continuous noise, a mist of fine dust particles, and barriers to movement for any animal that cannot fly or burrow; food sources are mainly human-derived. And yet, as Schilthuizen shows, the wildlife sharing these spaces with us is not just surviving, but evolving ways of thriving. Darwin Comes to Town draws on eye-popping examples of adaptation to share a stunning vision of urban evolution in which humans and wildlife co-exist in a unique harmony. It reveals that evolution can happen far more rapidly than Darwin dreamed, while providing a glimmer of hope that our race toward over population might not take the rest of nature down with us."-- With human populations growing, we're having an increasing impact on global ecosystems, and nowhere do these impacts overlap as much as they do in cities. "Urban ecologists" study how our manmade environments are changing the evolution of the animals and plants around us. Schilthuizen takes us around the world for an up-close look at just how stunningly flexible and swift-moving natural selection can be. He shows how the wildlife sharing these spaces with us is not just surviving, but evolving ways of thriving. ISBN 9781250127822.
