Vanished Act: The Life and Art of Weldon Kees
ISBN: 9780803259775 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Critic, novelist, filmmaker, jazz musician, painter, and, above all, poet, Weldon Kees performed, practiced, and published with the best of his generation of artists--the so-called middle generation, which included Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, and John Berryman. His dramatic disappearance (a probable suicide) at the age of forty-one, his movie-star good looks, his role in various movements of the day, and his shifting relationships with key figures in the arts have made him one of the more intriguing--and elusive--artists of the time. In this long-awaited biography, James Reidel presents...

Tales of Mr. Keuner
ISBN: 9780857424716 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. From the 1920s through the 1950s, Bertolt Brecht wrote a number of short, fictionalized comments on contemporary life, politics, and thought. Through the dramatic events of the first half of the twentieth century, Brecht's Mr. Keuner offered up aphorisms, stray thoughts, and fragments of anecdote that punctured contemporary self-regard about religion, politics, business, and more. Deceptively light in tone, and bite-size in presentation, Mr. Keuner's comments bring Brecht's lacerating wit to bear on a wide range of the half-truths and public lies of his era. This graphic novel adaptation...

Goethe Dies
ISBN: 9780857423276 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This collection of four stories by the writer George Steiner called "one of the masters of European fiction" is, as longtime fans of Thomas Bernhard would expect, bleakly comic and inspiringly rancorous. The subject of his stories vary: in one, Goethe summons Wittgenstein to discuss the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus; "Montaigne: A Story (in 22 Installments)" tells of a young man sealing himself in a tower to read; "Reunion," meanwhile, satirizes that very impulse to escape; and the final story rounds out the collection by making Bernhard himself a victim, persecuted by his greatest...

Poems: Book One of Our Trakl
ISBN: 9780857422460 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The work of poet Georg Trakl, a leading Austrian-German expressionist, has been praised by many, including his contemporaries Rainer Maria Rilke and Else Lasker-Schuler, as well as his patron Ludwig Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein famously wrote that while he did not truly "understand" Trakl s poems, they had the tone of a truly ingenious person, which pleased him. This difficulty in understanding Trakl s poems is not unique. Since the first publication of his work in 1913, there has been endless discussion about how the verses should be understood, leading to controversies over the most accurate...

Comedies
ISBN: 9780857424693 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Few writers have ever experienced such a steady rise in their reputation and public profile as Swiss writer Robert Walser (1878-1956) has seen in recent years. As more of his previously little known work has been translated into English, readers have discovered a unique writer whose off-kilter sensibility and innovations in form are perfectly suited to our fragmented, distracted, bewildered era. This book brings English-language readers work by Walser in yet another form: dramolette. The short plays presented here, inspired by the German theater Walser enjoyed in his youth, while never...

Old Masters: A Comedy
ISBN: 9780857424709 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Thomas Bernhard's Old Masters has been called his "most enjoyable novel" by the New York Review of Books. It's a wild satire that takes place almost entirely in front of Tintoretto's White-Bearded Man, on display in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, as two typically Viennese pedants (serving as alter egos for Bernhard himself) irreverently, even contemptuously take down high culture, society, state-supported artists, Heidegger, and much more. It's a book built on thought and conversation rather than action or visuals. Yet somehow celebrated Austrian cartoonist Nicholas...
