ISBN: 9781942658146 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) -A moving attempt to trace the connections between Kosinski's wartime struggles and postwar fictions.- --New Yorker Jerzy Kosinski was a great enigma of post-World War II literature. When he exploded onto the American literary scene in 1965 with his best-selling novel The Painted Bird, he was revered as a Holocaust survivor and refugee from the world hidden behind the Soviet Iron Curtain. He won major literary awards, befriended actor Peter Sellers (who appeared in the screen adaptation of his novel Being There), and was a guest on talk shows and at the Oscars. But...

Joe DiMaggio: The Long Vigil
ISBN: 9780300181470 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) As the New York Yankees' star centerfielder from 1936 to 1951, Joe DiMaggio is enshrined in America's memory as the epitome in sports of grace, dignity, and that ineffable quality called "class." But his career after retirement, starting with his nine-month marriage to Marilyn Monroe, was far less auspicious. Writers like Gay Talese and Richard Ben Cramer have painted the private DiMaggio as cruel or self-centered. Now, Jerome Charyn restores the image of this American icon, looking at DiMaggio's life in a more sympathetic light. DiMaggio was a man of extremes, superbly talented on...
