The World to Come: Stories
ISBN: 9780525432319 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Without a doubt the most ambitious story writer in America," according to The Daily Beast, Jim Shepard now delivers a new collection that spans borders and centuries with unrivaled mastery. These ten stories ring with voices belonging to--among others--English Arctic explorers in one of history's most nightmarish expeditions, a young contemporary American negotiating the shockingly underreported hazards of our crude-oil trains, eighteenth-century French balloonists inventing manned flight, and two mid-nineteenth-century housewives trying to forge a connection despite their...

You Think That's Bad
ISBN: 9780307742148 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Following Like You'd Understand, Anyway--awarded the Story Prize and a finalist for the National Book Award--Jim Shepard returns with an even more wildly diverse collection of astonishingly observant stories. Like an expert curator, he populates the vastness of human experience--from its bizarre fringes and lonely, breathtaking pinnacles to the hopelessly mediocre and desperately below average--with brilliant scientists, reluctant soldiers, workaholic artists, female explorers, depraved murderers, and deluded losers, all wholly convincing and utterly fascinating.

One Inside
ISBN: 9781101974384 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The first work of long fiction from the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright--a tour de force of memory, mystery, death, and life.
This searing, extraordinarily evocative narrative opens with a man in his house at dawn, surrounded by aspens, coyotes cackling in the distance as he quietly navigates the distance between present and past. More and more, memory is overtaking him: in his mind he sees himself in a movie-set trailer, his young face staring back at him in a mirror surrounded by light bulbs. In his dreams and in visions he sees his late father--sometimes in miniature,...

Nosferatu
ISBN: 9780803293465 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From this prodigiously talented writer comes a stunningly original fictional life of the German director F. W. Murnau (1888 1931). Murnau ranks as a founding father of the cinema, not least for his legendary horror film, Nosferatu. Here he is revealed as a hermetic genius who turns against himself, becoming in a sense his own vampire. What shadows Jim Shepard s Murnau through the airfields of the Great War to Berlin in the twenties and to the virtual invention of filmmaking is the conflict between his impossibly high ideals and his heartbreaking memories of love betrayed and love lost....

Following his widely acclaimed Project X and Love and Hydrogen--"Here is the effect of these two books," wrote the Chicago Tribune: "A reader finishes them buzzing with awe"--Jim Shepard now gives us his first entirely new collection in more than a decade.
Like You'd Understand, Anyway reaches from Chernobyl to Bridgeport, with a host of narrators only Shepard could bring to pitch-perfect life. Among them: a middle-aged Aeschylus taking his place at Marathon, still vying for parental approval. A maddeningly indefatigable Victorian explorer hauling his...

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, actor, ex-cowboy, and musician Sam Shepard now stands revealed as a storyteller of dazzling artistry.

Great Dream of Heaven
ISBN: 9780375704529 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In eighteen stories unlike any in our contemporary literature, Sam Shepard explores the vast and rugged American West with the same parched intensity that has made him "the great playwright of his generation" (The New York Times). A boy watches a "remedy man" tame a wild stallion, a contest that mirrors his own struggle with his father. A woman driving her mother's ashes across the country has a strangely transcendent run-in with an injured hawk. Two aging widowers, in Stetsons and bolo ties, together make a daily pilgrimage to the local Denny's, only to be divided by the...
