Czas postu czas uczty
ISBN: 9788388938450 / Polski / Miękka / 2004 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Jest to poruszająca, zabawna, zmuszająca do refleksji powieść o stosunkach rodzinnych, panujących współcześnie w dwóch całkiem odmiennych kulturach - indyjskiej i amerykańskiej. Jest to też opowieść o tym, jak zaspakajane są w tych kulturach potrzeby człowieka. Tytuł książki nawiązuje do jedzenia w sensie dosłownym, jak też przenośnym (pożywienie dla ducha). Każda z tych kultur ma obszary „głodu“ i „sytości“, które podświadomie przenosi na poziom kulinarny. W pierwszej części powieści indyjska rodzina karmi swe dzieci do przesytu nadmierną troską i...

Sebald, wherein strange evolutions of solitary lives are the rule, and readers are held by the stately, hypnotic dignity of the voice that tells them. San Francisco Chronicle Set in modern India, these three novellas move beyond the cities to places still haunted by the past, and to characters who are, each in their own way, masters of self-effacement. An unnamed government official is called... Finalist for the Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction
