It s 1955 and fourteen-year-old Emily Winter s promising start at Bromley, a posh, academically-challenging Manhattan girls school, threatens to turn sour when her new friend Phoebe Barrett joins an anti-Semitic club founded by the popular and snobby Cressida Whitcroft.

Chasing Moonbeams: A Book of Poetry
ISBN: 9781434376237 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. These poems are about the little things in life, the snippets that make up millions of moments in time. From eating ice cream cones and reading under the covers in summer camp to dealing with life's clutter. But they are also about the "big" issues of life- aging, separation, devasting illness and death. However, even with these inelegant moments, there is often humor, because we do not control many events that cross our paths in the course of a life. If we can laugh along the way, maybe we can ease the pain.

Burning Down the House
ISBN: 9781101911198 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. It begins with two girls: Neva, from the Caucasus, sold into the sex trade; and Poppy, the adopted daughter of a wealthy New York real estate family, the Zanes. As their paths cross and their fates intertwine in an exquisite high drama that blurs the lines between realism and myth, we travel with them from lavish weddings to the transglobal underworld; from London and New York to Laos and Istanbul; and we watch as the mighty Zane dynasty slips from greatness. Mendelsohn captures the emotional worlds of these characters with visceral immediacy, and transforms their private narratives...

I Was Amelia Earhart
ISBN: 9780679776369 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this brilliantly imagined novel, Amelia Earhart tells us what happened after she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared off the coast of New Guinea one glorious, windy day in 1937. And she tells us about herself.
There is her love affair with flying ("The sky is flesh") . . . . There are her memories of the past: her childhood desire to become a heroine ("Heroines did what they wanted") . . . her marriage to G.P. Putnam, who promoted her to fame, but was willing to gamble her life so that the book she was writing about her round-the-world flight would sell out before...

The Elusive Embrace: Desire and the Riddle of Identity
ISBN: 9780375706974 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hailed for its searing emotional insights, and for the astonishing originality with which it weaves together personal history, cultural essay, and readings of classical texts by Sophocles, Ovid, Euripides, and Sappho, The Elusive Embrace is a profound exploration of the mysteries of identity. It is also a meditation in which the author uses his own divided life to investigate the "rich conflictedness of things," the double lives all of us lead. Daniel Mendelsohn recalls the deceptively quiet suburb where he grew up, torn between his mathematician father's pursuit of scientific...

Trzy pierścienie
ISBN: 9788397092464 / Polski / twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. „Trzy pierścienie” to łączący różne gatunki osobisty esej o wygnaniu, opowieści i losie. Daniel Mendelsohn, amerykański pisarz i filolog klasyczny, splata rozważania o „Odysei” z dziejami trzech autorów-wygnańców (F. Fénelon, E. Auerbach, W. G. Sebald) i własną historią rodzinną. Tytułowe trzy pierścienie okażą się nie tylko przedmiotem, ale i klamrą tej niezwykłej książki. Warto się o tym przekonać, idąc za Mendelsohnem szlakiem wszystkich jego Odyseuszów.
„Na pytanie, o czym traktują «Trzy pierścienie», można by dać odpowiedź ogólną i... „Trzy pierścienie” to łączący różne gatunki osobisty esej o wygnaniu, opowieści i losie. Daniel Mendelsohn, amerykański pisarz i filolog k...
