Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Tanja is fourteen, growing up in a family of artists deep in the Swedish forest, hours away from Copenhagen where she was born and feels at home. With her parents preoccupied by her father's painting career and their turbulent marriage, she's left alone with her longings and dreams, restless for an alluring adult world just beyond reach. 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.

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.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Revisit the Salem Witch Trials, the Underground Railroad, and other resistance movements of American history to get a bold new understanding of how resistance shaped our pastand how its principles can change our future.The United States was shaped by resistancebut not in the way we've been taught. The Revolution did not secure liberty; it opened the door to either liberty or oppression, where only white men enjoyed all of the benefits and protections of citizenship.In A Resistance History of the United States, public historian Tad Stoermer shows how from the very beginning, that tensionbetween the ideals of resistance and the realities of powerhas defined America more than the Enlightenment ideals enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.Utililizing powerful storytelling to focus on keyand often lesser-knownmoments in American history, this book reveals the truth of how resistance movements from Colonial times have opposed the powers that be. Stoermer covers an impressive roster of pivotal movements, with each chapter identifying a key resistance movement and principle meant to inspire contemporary readers, including:- Bacon's Rebellion/Metacomet's War (1676)- Salem Witch Trials (1692)- The Black Loyalists (1783)- The Underground Railroad (1850)Through these and many more examples, Stoermer dismantles the mythologies that pass for American historyexposing the curated nostalgia, moral evasions, and institutional silences that have long protected abusive power. What emerges is an essential look at how we can take lessons from the past to understand, and effectively respond to, the injustices we face today.
