Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A fascinating, one-of-a-kind journey through the obsessive world of collecting (and stamps) by maverick historian and cult writer Robert Irwin. '[A] delightful mishmash of quotations, digressions, obscure facts, arcane anecdotes and playful romps.' -- Literary Review Why do we collect Is it t…o rescue objects from oblivion Is it a kind of desire--or even a kind of madness Robert Irwin--novelist, historian, translator, collector--was a true original; a virtuoso thinker who combined encyclopaedic knowledge with boundless curiosity. In this 'mosaic of fiction, philosophy, sociology, biography and autobiography' he takes us on a wayward journey through the art of collecting, and his own intellectual passions. Drawing on a treasure-trove of literary references from writers including Susan Sontag, Walter Benjamin, Iris Murdoch and Georges Perec, as well as a host of lesser-known geniuses, flaneurs, obsessives and eccentrics, Irwin explores everything from mysticism to nostalgia, psychology to propaganda, classical antiquity to surrealism, dreams to death. We join Thomas De Quincey on a night mail coach, encounter the man who set out to acquire every stamp ever issued, enter the shadowlands of long-vanished kingdoms and the badlands of fakes and forgeries, all in the company of a uniquely brilliant mind. This is a one-of-a-kind book of wonders; of labyrinthine digressions, good humour and a 'delight in small things'. It is a satisfying and unforgettable meditation on the stuff of life.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 3 perfectly balanced stories of love lost and hopes disappointed, from one of Japan's greatest authors. 'A masterly meditation on fate and obscurity. This haunting, elegiac trio makes clear Inoue's position as a Japanese literary master.' --Publishers Weekly, starred review A master forger li…ves in obscurity and disappointment, oppressed by the shadow of the artist whose work he copies. Once Onuki and Hosen were friends - but the gap in talent between them becomes an insurmountable gulf when Hosen cannot resist the temptation to imitate his more successful peer. A young man embarks on an investigation into his family's past, prompted by a newspaper clipping and a vague memory of a beautiful young woman. And another young narrator is consumed with curiosity about his grandfather's mistress - and why she cherishes an old pair of gloves, given to her by a visiting Englishman. Unglamorous, unadorned lives such as this form the focus of Yasushi Inoue's tenderly observed, elegantly distilled short stories - 2 of which are appearing in English for the first time. With a haunting emotional intensity, they offer glimpses of love lost and lives wasted. Asking how we place value, what counts as real, and where the struggle for acceptance will lead us, each story is a perfectly balanced exploration of regret. Inoue's reputation in Japan is the equal of Tanizaki's or Kawabata's, and these 3 luminous, compassionate tales showcase the mastery and exquisite talent that have made him such a beloved writer.

But keeping the Little People alive and well will prove more complicated than she thought, in spite of all her loyal care, when the war causes a rift between her father and brother--not to mention making food scarce. Meanwhile siblings Iris and Robin want to explore the world beyond their tiny house on the bookshelf, but can their parents tolerate the risk It will take great love, bravery, and a rather special pigeon, to bring their unique families back together once more.

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 impossi…ble 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. This vivid new translation by Nicolas Pasternak Slater and Maya Slater illuminates Dostoyevsky's dazzling versatility as a writer. His remarkable short fiction swings from wickedly sharp humour to gripping psychological intensity, from cynical social mockery to moments of unexpected tenderness. A microcosm of Dostoyevsky's themes, these stories offer existential insight, an indictment of social inequality, and extremes of agony and ecstasy. They also showcase his lesser-known comic mode, in flashes of satirical brilliance and antic farce. This collection provides a palette holding each shade of Dostoyevsky's talent - and of human experience.

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. Scathingly funny and irresistibly glamorous, A Time to be Born is a timeless portrait of social climbing, set in a 1940s Manhattan rife with backstabbing charm, brittle friendships and women who always land on their feet - heels first. 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.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A gorgeously illustrated middle grade novel / graphic novel hybrid, set in a deliciously gothic world of monsters 'An intriguing atmosphere, where the strange and familiar mingle. The power of the story and illustrations give wings to the reader's imagination' -- Télérama It all starts when a fascin…ating travelling circus arrives in a small, peaceful village. The townspeople, eager for excitement, are abuzz with curiosity about the mysterious circus that is rumoured to feature a terrifying monster. That evening, Otto, the narrator, takes his place among the eager crowd inside the dimly lit circus tent. The air crackles with anticipation, and as the curtains slowly part, the audience gasps--but not for the reason they expected. The so-called 'monster' on stage is, in fact, a human child. Meanwhile, the onlookers in the crowd are actually monsters--both terrifying and grotesque! Otto, whose face is finally revealed, is also a hairy monster. Little by little, Otto and the human child get to know each other, and change the way they both look at the world. Zouliamis, Nicolas (illustrator).

Filled with fantasy, magic and a deep love of human connection, Tangled Roots is an epic, passionate story of survival. An old soldier retires and is given a plot of land deep in the Finnish forest, as pension for his years of faithful service to the crown. Here, he carves a secluded croft and calls it home, but try as he might to tame the land, its wild magic endures. From this 17th-century beginning comes centuries of his descendants who will continue work the farm, through days of plenty and famine, love and war, their fates entangled with the rhythms of the ancient wilderness, where mysterious shapes flit between the trees and danger lurks in the treacherous fen. Like dragonflies darting over the marsh, their lives glimmer briefly and then are gone: a young girl entranced by the forest folk, a faithless fiancé who meets his match beneath the age-old branches, a farmhand with a strange obsession. What endures is the wild landscape and its secrets. This place holds the certainty that wherever we put down roots, the land will grow roots in us too.

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.

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 impossib…le 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. This vivid new translation by Nicolas Pasternak Slater and Maya Slater illuminates Dostoyevsky's dazzling versatility as a writer. His remarkable short fiction swings from wickedly sharp humour to gripping psychological intensity, from cynical social mockery to moments of unexpected tenderness. A microcosm of Dostoyevsky's themes, these stories offer existential insight, an indictment of social inequality, and extremes of agony and ecstasy. They also showcase his lesser-known comic mode, in flashes of satirical brilliance and antic farce. This collection provides a palette holding each shade of Dostoyevsky's talent - and of human experience. 288 pp. Englisch.
