The Means of Escape
ISBN: 9780618154500 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In her final book--published posthumously--Fitzgerald presents several very strange pasts, her narratives ranging from the 17th century to the late 20th century. The title tale, set in New Zealand in 1852, resembles a cautionary fable about a spinster and an escaped con. But in Fitzgerald's hands, it is infinitely more.

On Histories And Stories
ISBN: 9780099283836 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

In her opening essays - Fathers, Forefathers and Ancestors - the author considers the renaissance of the historical novel. She discusses in particular the novel of wartime experience; the surprising variety of distant pasts that British writers have invented; and the new Darwinian novel, stimulated in part by the discovery of DNA. These afford new readings of writers from Elizabeth Bowen and Henry Green to Anthony Burgess,...
