Cosmo, Cosmolino
ISBN: 9781399606882 / Angielski / Miękka / 2024 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. He straightened his spine, raised his head, and extended his gun arm towards me in a slow, vertical arc. I saw then what he was, and stood still in front of him, for he was here on business. He was a small, serious, stone-eyed angel of mercy. Janet is a skeptic, a journalist; Maxine revels in New Age fantasies; and Ray, a drifter, is a born-again Christian. The common ground is the house they share. But their fragile domestic balance is about to explode amid the smashing of ukeleles, the unexpected ascension of an angel, and a sudden shower of jonquils.

Małe preludia
ISBN: 9788367121354 / Polski / broszurowa / 2023 / 151 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Kiedy mówię, że Małe preludia Helen Garner - po raz pierwszy opublikowane w Australii w 1984 roku i ponownie wydane teraz przez wydawnictwo Text - to prawdziwy klejnot, nie mam na myśli tylko banalnych pochwał, choć to książka piękna, lapidarna i rzadka; chodzi mi również o to, że Garner uchwyciła naprzemienną przejrzystość i nieprzejrzystość innych. Oto fabuła: kochający się małżonkowie, Athena i Dexter, których łączy nie tyle jakaś szczególna namiętność, co opieka nad dziećmi (w tym Billym, chłopcem z głęboką niepełnosprawnością), przeżywają kryzys,...

Cornerstones: Subterranean writings; from Dartmoor to the Arctic Circle

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Although mostly concealed, our bedrock geology profoundly determines what we see around us - not just our landforms, but the built environment too, from Aberdeen, often called the "granite city" to Bath, constructed from honey-coloured limestone- rocks shape the world around us. In Cornerstones, some of Britain's leading landscape and nature writers consider their relationship with the ground beneath their feet. Distinguished by a strong sense of place and close observation, these essays take the reader out into the landscape and convey the tactile heft, grain and rub of the rock, showing how...
