ISBN: 9780156011471 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) After spending sixteen years in prison for a crime of the heart, Shiro Kikutani is released into a world he no longer recognizes.

In a spare yet powerful style, Akira Yoshimura paints the psychology of a quiet man navigating his way through the unsuspected traumas of freedom-finding a job, finding a home, even something as simple as buying an alarm clock.

Shipwrecks
ISBN: 9780156008358 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Isaku is a nine-year-old boy living in a remote, desperately poor fishing village on the coast of Japan. His people catch barely enough fish to live on, and so must distill salt to sell to neighboring villages. But this industry serves another, more sinister purpose: the fires of the salt cauldrons lure passing ships toward the shore and onto rocky shoals. When a ship runs aground, the villagers slaughter the crew and loot the cargo for rice, wine, and rich delicacies. One day a ship founders on the rocks. But Isaku learns that its cargo is far deadlier than could ever be imagined....

Zero Fighter
ISBN: 9780275953553 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This technohistory, a genre invented by the author, is the history of the production and use of the famous Zero fighter aircraft, the finest dogfighter in the air for most of World War II. Superbly written with an eye to detail and to the poignant and resonant moment, this poetic, highly charged narrative presents World War II from the Japanese point of view. Ultimately more than the history of an airplane--though the Zero is presented with the grandeur due it--this book is an extremely astute presentation of the Japanese character and world view. From a North American... This technohistory, a genre invented by the author, is the history of the production and use of the famous Zero fighter aircraft, the finest dogfig... |
