ISBN: 9780312429461 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD "In the spirit of Julian Barnes's Flaubert's Parrot and Alain de Botton's How Proust Can Change Your Life, Mr. Dyer's Out of Sheer Rage keeps circling its subject in widening loops and then darting at it when you least expect it . . . a wild book."--Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times Geoff Dyer was a talented young writer, full of energy and reverence for the craft, and determined to write a study of D. H. Lawrence. But he was also thinking about a novel, and about leaving Paris, and maybe moving in...

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 (Dostawa przed świętami) 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...

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...

The Colour of Memory
ISBN: 9780857862716 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) '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...

This isn t a self-help book; it s a book about how Geoff Dyer could do with a little help.

But even as he recounts his side-splitting misadventures in...

The Contest of the Century : The New Era of Competition with China
ISBN: 9780718194628 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. By sea and on the airwaves, by dollar and yuan, a contest has begun that will shape the next century. China's rise has now entered a critical new phase, as it seeks to translate its considerable economic heft into a larger role on the world stage, challenging American supremacy. Yet he also shows why China may struggle to unseat the West - its ambitious designs are provoking anxiety, especially in Asia, while America's global alliances have deep roots. If Washington can adjust to a world in which it is not the sole dominant power, it may be able to retain its ability to set the global agenda.
