Our Lady of the Flowers
ISBN: 9780802130136 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Jean Genet's first, and arguably greatest, novel was written while he was in prison. As Sartre recounts in his introduction, Genet penned this work on the brown paper which inmates were supposed to use to fold bags as a form of occupational therapy. The masterpiece he managed to produce under those difficult conditions is a lyrical portrait of the criminal underground of Paris and the thieves, murderers and pimps who occupied it. Genet approached this world through his protagonist, Divine, a male transvestite prostitute. In the world of Our Lady of the Flowers, moral conventions are turned on...

Jean Genet was one of the world s greatest contemporary dramatists, and his last play, The Screens, is his crowning achievement.

The Balcony
ISBN: 9780802150349 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Book jacket/back: The setting of Jean Genet's celebrated play is a brothel that caters to refined sensibilities and peculiar tastes. Here men from all walks of life don the garb of their fantasies and act them out: a man from the gas company wears the robe and mitre of a bishop; another customer becomes a flagellant judge, and still another a victorious general, while a bank clerk defiles the Virgin mary. These costumed diversions take place while outside a revolution rages which has isolated the brothel from the rest of the rebel-controlled city. In a stunning series of macabre, climactic...
