Orbit
ISBN: 9781844012077 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Simon is an archetypal product of our secular and acquisitive times, striving for wealth and success in a bid to procure self-knowledge and forge the kind of selfless connection he seems incapable of sustaining. In this highly reflective and ponderous tale, we chart Simon's solitary orbit through a labyrinthine web of associations as he attempts to override his dubious genetic inheritance, define his filial obligations and rationalise his complicated and jealous love for his sister, the artistic and avant-garde Rose. Through his faltering and confused characters, Kattan explores the age-old...

Tide Ebb, Ebb Tide
ISBN: 9781844016723 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. We all strive for personal happiness in our lives, but the problem is that each of us has our own idea about where it lies. Some people think they may find it in love or friendship; many concentrate on wealth and material things. Through the story of a family and their friends and partners, this thought-provoking work concentrates on the conflict that results from this search. We are introduced to each character through their inner world, their own desires. Take Arnold, a young man, brought up by his mother to be a 'devotee' of money. Will he find fulfilment in life or will he become isolated...

Spectres
ISBN: 9781844010578 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the web of relationships discussed in Jacques Kattan's text, the point of one's life and one's connections with other people surfaces regularly: etre pour soi, ou etre pour autres? Can we live for ourselves alone? Gloria and Isabel abandon their cluttered lives - and children - for an independent life in a small village. Edward, a romantic, finds a more satisfactory rapport with a young jazz trombonist, Maurice, than his wife. But is our natural reserve, our nostalgia for the spectres of the past and our reflectiveness a valid defence to a lively, material world? The case for Jeanette, who...

Mary, the philanthropist, spends so much time trying to help others that she fails to give love to the one closest to her. The wealthy couple, Rose and Ramon, are unable to reconcile their differences and lose the one thing that money cannot buy.

The pursuit of wealth and status, the inability to see beyond the surface, the...
