A Time To Be Born
ISBN: 9781883642419 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Set against an atmospheric backdrop of New York City in the months just before America's entry into World War II, A Time To Be Born is a scathing and hilarious study of cynical New Yorkers stalking each other for various selfish ends. At the center of the story are a wealthy, self-involved newspaper publisher and his scheming, novelist wife, Amanda Keeler. Powell always denied that Amanda Keeler was based upon the real-life Clare Boothe Luce, until years later when she discovered a memo she'd written to herself in 1939 that said, "Why not do a novel on Clare Luce?" Which prompted...

The Diaries of Dawn Powell: 1931-1965
ISBN: 9781883642259 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Dawn Powell had a brilliant mind and a keen wit and her humor was never at a finer pitch than in her diaries. And yet her story is a poignant one - a son emotionally and mentally impaired, a household of too much alcohol and never enough money, and an artistic career that, if not a failure, fell far short of the success she craved. All is recorded here - along with working sketches for her novels, and often revealing portraits of her many friends (a literary who's who of her period) - in her always unique style and without self-delusion. Powell's remarkable Diaries will stand as...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) For decades after her death, Dawn Powell's work was out of print, cherished by a small band of admirers. Only recently has there been renewed awareness of the novelist who was such a vital presence in literary Greenwich Village from the 1920s to the 1960s. With these two volumes, The Library of America presents the best of Powell's quirky, often hilarious, sometimes deeply moving fiction.
Dawn Powell was the tirelessly observant chronicler of two very different worlds: the small-town Ohio of her childhood and the sophisticated Manhattan to which she gravitated. If her Ohio novels are more... For decades after her death, Dawn Powell's work was out of print, cherished by a small band of admirers. Only recently has there been renewed awarenes...
