The riveting story of two families separated in culture and geography but bound together by a Russian-Scottish marriage includes the purchase by the author's great-grandfather of a peasant girl with whom he had fallen in love, the desperate sledge journey in the depths of winter made by her grandmother to intercede with Tsar Aleksandr II for her husband, the extraordinary courtship of her parents, and her Scottish granny being caught up in the abortive revolution of 1905. Brought up in Russia but taken on visits to Scotland, Eugenie Fraser marvelously evokes a child's reactions to two totally different environments, sets of customs, and family backgrounds. With the events of 1914 to 1920--the war with Germany, the Revolution, the murder of the Tsar, and the withdrawal of the Allied Intervention in the north--came the disintegration of Russia and of family life. The stark realities of hunger, deprivation, and fear are sharply contrasted with the adventures of childhood. The reader shares the family's suspense and concern about the fates of its members and relives with Eugenie her final escape to Scotland.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Unbekannte Unterschrift / Widmung; Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Between 1948 and 1961, Earnest Hemingway and A. E. Hotchner traveled together from New York to Paris and Spain, fished off Cuba, hunted in Idaho, and ran with the bulls in Pamplona. And everywhere they talked. For fourteen years, Hotchner and Hemingway shared a conversation. Hemingway recalled his childhood, spoke of the literary scene in Paris in the twenties, remembered his early years as a writer, and recounted the real events behind his fiction. Hotchner documented everything. His notes on the many occasions he spent with his friend Papa--in Venice and Rome, in Key West, on the Riviera, in Ketchum, Idaho, where Hemingway died by his own hand in 1961--form the material for this completely truthful, deeply compassionate memoir of the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner. What emerges is an extraordinary portrait of a great writer who lived and defined his life. …

Gebundene Ausgabe. Zustand: Neu. Neu Neu, Importqualität - From the author of Wartime Lies and About Schmidt , an irresistibly entertaining novel about a man struggling to understand his friends' seemingly charmed marriage, which may have been doomed from the start. In the unforgiving class system of the 1950s, Lucy de Bourgh, daughter of one of Rhode Island's first families and beneficiary of an ample trust fund, was married to Thomas Snow, son of a Newport garage owner and his bookkeeper wife. It hardly mattered that Thomas was a graduate of Harvard Business School, or that he went to work for a great Wall Street firm and succeeded beyond expectations. In Lucy's eyes, he remained irremediably a 'townie.' Decades later, a chance meeting brings Lucy together with Philip, our narrator. They'd known each other earlier, and he remembers her as a ravishing, funny, ready-for-anything hellion with a well-earned reputation for generosity with sexual favors. He also remembers Thomas, killed in a freak accident years after his and Lucy's divorce, and is shocked to hear Lucy refer to Thomas insistently as 'that monster.' How is he to reconcile that unexpected and overflowing reservoir of bitterness and resentments with his own memories Almost against his will, Philip sets out on a quest that soon becomes an obsession to discover who exactly these friends were whom he had understood so incompletely, and what happened in their marriage. Through Philip's patient probing, a brilliant portrait emerges of Begley's heroine: infinitely complex, irresistible as well as insufferable, capable of extremes of arrogance and submission, and driven by sexual appetites she cannot control. Lucy de Bourgh is without doubt one of Begley's strongest and most outrageous creations.…

Tras recitar sus poemas en una velada literaria en Dublín, Frances y Bobbi conocen a Melissa, una escritora que quiere publicar un reportaje sobre ellas. Estas dos universitarias que fueron pareja se verán atraídas hacia ella y hacia su marido, Nick: un matrimonio acomodado que se acerca a la cuarentena y con el que terminarán formando un complejo ménage à quatre. Ambientada en la bohemia artística irlandesa, esta historia de amores libres y relaciones ambiguas ofrece un retrato honesto de una generación que rechaza las etiquetas. Entre presentaciones de libros, estrenos teatrales y vacaciones en la Bretaña francesa, las conversaciones de los personajes convierten este debut en una novela de ideas marcada por unos diálogos ocurrentes y un hábil sentido del humor. La autora indaga en las delicadas crueldades de la interacción humana en una obra inteligente sobre la amistad, el deseo y los celos. Mientras sus personajes descubren el poder que tienen sobre los otros, Rooney articula una adictiva historia sobre la inocencia, la infidelidad y el espejismo del libre albedrío. Una obra aguda y reveladora que es a la vez una novela de iniciación, una comedia sobre el amor y un alegato feminista.…

Softcover. Zustand: Fair. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Einriss über 1 cm. El Interior es la aventura de recorrer y descubrir buena parte de la Argentina. Los espacios más maravillosos, los personajes más diversos, los esfuerzos por hacer un país que se deshace, los rasgos de cada lugar, sus diferencias, sus comidas y bebidas y canciones, sus historias de crímenes y corruptelas, sus santitos y santitas y demonios, el vacío que amenaza en todas partes: un territorio que todavía no termina de construirse y que, tan a menudo, se asoma al precipicio. En sus páginas, poemas y reflexiones, análisis y datos, diálogos y situaciones, paisajes y personajes se combinan para armar el gran rompecabezas. Su forma, donde se encuentran tantos recursos de la más sobresaliente literatura, ha sido retomada por los mejores cronistas de la lengua.…
