Kde ji najdeš
ISBN: 9788090244344 / Czeski / 1999 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Výbor 23 z knih Krev (Blood) a Kde ji najdeš (Where You Find It). Ve svých povídkách, zasazených do skotského prostředí, autorka zkoumá vztahy mezi mužem a ženou: zoufalou snahu milovat navzdory všemu, touhu po porozumění, okamžiky, kdy pouhé slovo či dotek má moc hojit i zraňovat, kdy se znenadání odhalí emocionální zbabělost i odvaha, vztahy závislosti, mocenské hry, násilí, které páchají muži na ženách, i způsob, jakým si ženy udržují muže v područí. Pro některé její prózy je charakteristické experimentální dělení textu, které umocňuje...

ISBN: 9781564780829 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From the beginning this novel's tension weaves warp and woof between hilarity and hell. Two women friends travel through France, encountering backroad-European misogynist crudities and the awkward experiences of being female, over thirty, with your teeth almost literally at your closest friend's throat, and "fancying men, but not liking them very much." Throughout Rona's random acts of innocent irritation and Cassie's caustic reactions, the funny and fumbled art of their compassion supersedes self-slaughter, stretches itself thin, but refuses to puncture, throughout years of pals together...

Where You Find It: Stories
ISBN: 9781416578420 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "VALENTINE'S DAY MAKES ME EMBARRASSED," writes Janice Galloway in the opening lines of Where You Find It. The collection deals with love in its many guises -- the way relationships suddenly turn; how a look, a gesture, a word can heal or hurt. Love in Galloway's world is more likely to resemble a heart-shaped ham sandwich than the flowers and chocolates that bear the standard in more traditional "love stories." In the manner of Lorrie Moore and Raymond Carver, Galloway's tales explore the psychological aspects of love and the overpowering yearning to communicate. Whether...

This impassioned novel gives voice to Clara Wieck Schumann, one of the most celebrated pianists of the nineteenth century, who today is best remembered not for her music but for her marriage.
