But today, we all use translation to cope with the... An NBCC Award and Los Angeles Times Book Award finalist |

Both a political history and a moral critique of the twentieth century, this is a personal and impassioned book from one of Europe's most outstanding intellectuals.

In 1958, Kadare was selected to pursue his writing and literary studies as a graduate student in Moscow at the prestigious Gorky Institute for World Literature.

Portrait of a Man Known as Il Condottiere
ISBN: 9780226380223 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 143 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Puckish and playful, Georges Perec infused avant-garde and experimental fiction with a wit and wonder that belied the serious concerns and concepts that underpinned it. A prominent member of the OuLiPo, and an abiding influence on fiction writers today, Perec used formal constraints to dazzling effect in such works as A Void--a murder mystery that contains nary an "e"--and Life A User's Manual, in which an apartment building, systematically canvassed, unfolds secrets and, ultimately offers a reflection on creation, destruction, and the devotion to art. Before embarking on...
