Hotel de Dream: A New York Novel
ISBN: 9780060852269 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In a damp, old Sussex castle, American literary phenomenon Stephen Crane lies on his deathbed, wasting away from tuberculosis at the age of twenty-eight. The world-famous author has retreated to England with his wife, Cora, in part to avoid gossip about her ignominious past as the proprietress of an infamous Florida bordello, the Hotel de Dream. In the midst of gathering tragedy, Crane begins dictating what will surely be his final work: a strange and poignant novel of a boy prostitute in 1890s New York and the married man who ruins his own life to win his love.

Forgetting Elena
ISBN: 9780679755739 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Combining glittering wit, an atmosphere dense in social paranoia, and a breathtaking elegance and precision of language, White's first novel suggests a hilarious apotheosis of the comedy of manners. For, on the privileged island community where Forgetting Elena takes place, manners are everything. Or so it seems to White's excruciatingly self-conscious young narrator who desperately wants to be accepted in this world where everything from one's bathroom habits to the composition of "spontaneous" poetry is subject to rigid conventions.
Combining glittering wit, an atmosphere dense in social paranoia, and a breathtaking elegance and precision of language, White's first novel suggests ...

Loss within Loss: Artists in the Age of AIDS
ISBN: 9780299170745 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When an artist dies we face two great losses: the person and the work he did not live to do. This book is a moving collaboration by some of America's most eloquent writers, who supply wry, raging, sorrowful, and buoyant accounts of artist friends and lovers struck down by AIDS. These essayists include Maya Angelou, Alan Gurganus, Brad Gooch, John Berendt, Craig Lucas, Robert Rosenblum, and 18 others. Many of the subjects of the essays were already prominent - James Merrill, Paul Monette, David Wojnarowicz - but many others died young, before they were able to fulfil the promise of their lives...

Austin Smith is pushing fifty, loveless and drifting, until one day he meets Julien, a much younger, married Frenchman. In the beginning, the lovers' only impediments are the comic clashes of culture, age, and temperament. Before long, however, the past begins to catch up with them. In a desperate quest to save health and happiness, they move from Venice to Key West, from Montreal in the snow to Providence in the rain. But it is amid the bleak, baking sands of the...

Proust. Biografia
ISBN: 9788366102965 / Polski / broszurowa / 2022 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Książka w trzech wersjach kolorystycznych - wysyłka losowa. Wszystkie największe umysły każdego kraju ćwiczyły się, prędzej czy później, na Prouście. Irlandzki pisarz Samuel Beckett napisał zwięzłe studium o Prouście. W Niemczech pisał o nim Walter Benjamin. W Hiszpanii Jos Ortega y Gasset w swym eseju Time, Distance and Form in the Art of Proust zapewniał, że Proust wynalazł nową bliskość między nami a rzeczami, więc niemalże cała literacka twórczość przed nim przyjmowała dla literatury perspektywę z lotu ptaka, niedojrzale panoramiczną w porównaniu z tym...

States of Desire Revisited looks back from the twenty-first century at a pivotal moment in the late 1970s: Gay Liberation was a new and flourishing movement of creative culture, political activism, and sexual freedom, just before the 1980s devastation of AIDS. Edmund White traveled America, recording impressions of gay individuals and communities that remain perceptive and captivating today. He noted politicos in D.C. working the system, in-fighting radicals in New York and San Francisco, butch guys in Houston and self-loathing but courteous gentlemen in Memphis, the "Fifties in Deep...

Marcel Proust: A Life
ISBN: 9780143114987 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. If there is anyone worthy of producing an intimate biography of the enigmatic genius behind Remembrance of Things Past, it is Edmund White, himself an award- winning writer for whom Marcel Proust has long been an obsession. White introduces us not only to the recluse endlessly rewriting his one massive work through the night, but also the darling of Parisian salons, the grasper after honors, and the closeted homosexual-a subject this book is the first to explore openly. From the frothiest gossip to the deepest angst, here is a moving portrait to be treasured by anyone looking for an...

The Beautiful Room Is Empty
ISBN: 9780679755401 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When the narrator of White's poised yet scalding autobiographical novel first embarks on his sexual odyssey, it is the 1950s, and America is "a big gray country of families on drowsy holiday." That country has no room for a scholarly teenager with guilty but insatiable stirrings toward other men. Moving from a Midwestern college to the Stonewall Tavern on the night of the first gay uprising--and populated by eloquent queens, butch poseurs, and a fearfully incompetent shrink--The Beautiful Room is Empty conflates the acts of coming out and coming of age. "With intelligence, candor,...

Caracole
ISBN: 9780679764168 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In French caracole means "prancing"; in English, "caper." Both words perfectly describe this high-spirited erotic adventure. In Caracole, White invents an entire world where country gentry languish in decaying mansions and foppish intellectuals exchange lovers and gossip in an occupied city that resembles both Paris under the Nazis and 1980s New York. To that city comes Gabriel, an awkward boy from the provinces whose social naivete and sexual ardor make him endlessly attractive to a variety of patrons and paramours. "A seduction through language, a masque without masks,...

A Boy's Own Story
ISBN: 9780143114840 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1982 as the first of Edmund White's trilogy of autobiographical novels, A Boy's Own Story became an instant classic for its pioneering portrayal of homosexuality. The book's unnamed narrator, growing up during the 1950s, is beset by aloof parents, a cruel sister, and relentless mocking from his peers, compelling him to seek out works of art and literature as solace-and to uncover new relationships in the struggle to embrace his own sexuality. Lyrical and poignant, with powerful evocations of shame and yearning, this is an American literary treasure.
