The Colour of Memory
ISBN: 9780857862716 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. 'In the race to be first in describing the lost generation of the 1980s, Geoff Dyer in The Colour of Memory leads past the winning post. 'We're not lost, ' one of his hero's friend's says, 'we're virtually extinct'. It is a small world in Brixton that Dyer commemorates, of council flat and instant wasteland, of living on the dole and the scrounge, of mugging, which is merely begging by force, and of listening to Callas and Coltrane. It is the nostalgia of the DHSS Bohemians, the children of unsocial security, in an urban landscape of debris and wreckage. Not since Colin MacInnes's...

See/Saw: Looking at Photographs
ISBN: 9781838852092 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. See/Saw is an illuminating history of how photographs frame and change our perspectives. Starting from single images by the world's most important photographers - from Eugene Atget to Alex Webb - Geoff Dyer shows us how to read a photograph, as he takes us through a series of close readings that are by turns moving, funny, prescient and surprising. Following Dyer's previous books on photography, The Ongoing Moment and The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand, See/Saw brilliantly combines visual scrutiny and stylistic flair. It shows us how a photograph can simultaneously record and invent...

Out of Sheer Rage: In the Shadow of D. H. Lawrence
ISBN: 9781782115137 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Sitting down to write a book about his hero D. H. Lawrence, Geoff Dyer finds himself compelled to write about anything else. He is in fact compelled to do more or less anything else instead of write. In Sicily he is too preoccupied by his hatred of seafood to follow the great writer's footsteps; in Mexico he cannot get beyond a drug-induced erotic fantasy on a nudist beach . . . And yet, incredibly, this attempt to write a 'sober academic study' reveals the hold Lawrence and his work still exert on us today. Out of Sheer Rage is a complete one-off, a richly comic study of the...

Zóna
ISBN: 9788074325885 / Czeski / 2015 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Film Andreje Tarkovského Stalker se britskému prozaikovi a esejistovi Geoffu Dyerovi nesmazatelně zapsal do paměti již před třemi desítkami let, kdy jej viděl poprvé. V nové knize nabízí Dyer, autor známý svými žánrově obtížně zařaditelnými texty, svéráznou reflexi tohoto vrcholného díla světové kinematografie, která postupně přerůstá v originální zamyšlení nad obecnějšími otázkami vztahu života a umění. Zóna je výstižnou ukázkou Dyerovy schopnosti objevného pohledu, přesného pozorování a nezaměnitelného autorského hlasu, libujícího...

Another Great Day at Sea: Life Aboard the USS George H. W. Bush
ISBN: 9781782113362 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. In November 2011, Geoff Dyer fulfilled a childhood dream of spending time on an aircraft carrier. Dyer's stay on the USS George Bush, on active service in the Arabian Gulf, proved even more intense, memorable, and frequently hilarious, than he could ever have hoped. In Dyer's hands, the warship becomes a microcosm for a stocktaking of modern Western life: religion, drugs, chauvinism, farting, gyms, steaks, prayer, parental death, relationships and how to have a beach party with 5000 people on a giant floating hunk of steel. Piercingly perceptive and gloriously funny, this is a... In November 2011, Geoff Dyer fulfilled a childhood dream of spending time on an aircraft carrier.
