Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A collection of 6 thrilling short stories by the classic Russian author of Crime and Punishment, full of existential angst and wicked humor. 'A sprightly new translation. [that] reminds us how extremely funny [Dostoevsky] could be.' -Times Literary Supplement With stories ranging from impossible fantasy to scorching satire, this wonderful collection from the renowned author of Crime and Punishment is the perfect introduction to one of the greatest of all fiction writers. A civil servant finds a new passion for his work - and a taste for fame - when he's swallowed alive by a crocodile. A struggling writer stumbles on a cemetery where the dead still talk to each other. An arrogant but well-intentioned gentleman provokes an uproar at a subordinate's wedding, and in the marital bed. A widowed pawnbroker remembers the events leading to his marriage, in an attempt to understand his wife's death. And a young boy finds unexpected salvation on a cold and desolate Christmas Eve.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A gorgeous new paperback of Dawn Powell's razor-sharp comedy of manners, following a glittering tale of ambition and betrayal in prewar New York City. 'Few books have so bitingly and energetically captured the hunger for status and success that animate the city and enrage so many.' -- The New York Times Deemed 'wittier than Dorothy Parker, [and able to] dissect the rich better than F. Scott Fitzgerald' (The New York Times Book Review), Dawn Powell earns her place as one of America's great novelists with this biting satire of a wealthy, self-involved publisher and his scheming novelist wife. Amanda Keeler has clawed her way out of the backwaters of Ohio and into the affections of Julien Evans, New York's most powerful newspaper tycoon. With his ex-wife vanquished, Amanda reigns over their Fifth Avenue mansion, publishing wildly successful (ghostwritten) novels, charming guests at martini-soaked parties and furiously fending off Julien's pesky advances. That's until the past comes knocking in the form of Vicky Haven, a timid school friend desperate for reinvention. Ever the strategist, Amanda lands Vicky a job in listings and a studio apartment--perfect for Amanda's daytime trysts with old flame, Ken Saunders. But matters of the heart rarely follow orders. When Vicky begins to wise up to her scheme, and sets her own sights on Ken, she ignites a love triangle that threatens to topple Amanda's carefully constructed empire.

Reissued in a stunning new package, it is the perfect introduction to Dawn Powell's wicked wit and unsparing eye, guaranteed to delight both established fans and new readers alike.

Then at a gallery opening, Tanja meets the celebrated writer Eg, a charismatic family friend in his mid-forties. He snaps a photo of Tanja with her own camera and makes her swear she'll post him the print. Soon, Eg begins writing long, lyrical letters, enchanting her with fairytales and telling her that their first meeting was destined, that their love defies bourgeois norms. But this encounter with sexuality becomes a bewildering, painful awakening: a seduction that will mark Tanja and force her to confront the art world that quietly enabled her abuse. Written with courage and precision, this is a daring novel about a young girl's loss of innocence and the betrayal of those who surround her.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -'Insightful and bracing: a personal and political journey through the seasons' Melissa Harrison, author of All Among the Barley'A wonderfully unmooring passage through a year that connects to life that is deeper, looser, and more true than the tightly wound, unnatural calendars so many of us keep' Amina Cain, author of Indelicacy'This book is a precious and life-affirming gift to our hearts and intellects' Rebecca May Johnson, author of Small FiresAt festive gatherings celebrating summer's peak, in reflective moments as winter gave way, Rebecca Tamás began to hear another rhythm. A faint hint that, underneath the rush of clocks and calendars, another, richer kind of time might exist.As she suffered from grief and burnout, Tamás sought a deeper connection to the movement of the seasons through an immersion in old folkways. She set out on a journey across the UK guided by the Pagan wheel of the year, marking each solstice, equinox and the midpoints between them with a ritual drawn from ancient traditions. From a confrontation with the sharp pains of winter at Samhain in Edinburgh to a giddy experience of collective joy at Padstow's May Day, she found in these traditional practices electric potential for transforming our relationship to the natural world.Intellectually penetrating and richly lyrical, The Book of Mysteries follows the drumbeat of seasonal ritual towards an immersion in the wild time of the earth. Ecstatic, radical and irreverent, this book is a rallying cry to wrest time away from the structures of work and capital, so as to encounter the life-giving mystery of the natural world.Petersen Buchimport GmbH, Weidestraße 122 a, 22083 Hamburg 240 pp. Englisch.
