Where Three Roads Meet
ISBN: 9780618773428 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This playful and jazzy triad about fateful threesomes provides an engagingly postmodern commentary on the art of storytelling, classic mythology, and literature. The first novella explores a callow undergraduate's initiation into the mysteries of sex, death, and the Heroic Cycle. The wandering hero of the next tale finds an all-too-familiar road made new by some provocative traveling companions. And the three sisters of the third piece recall their youthful days of muselike services to (and scandalous servicing of) a mysteriously vanished famous novelist. These three sexy novellas prove once...

Kniha Na konci cesty (1958) bývá v díle amerického spisovatele Johna Bartha zařazována do „existencialistické fáze“, jež předcházela autorovu radikálnímu přestupu k vyhroceným postmoderním postupům. Hlavní hrdina novely Jacob Horner na radu doktora uniká před svou nerozhodností a nihilismem tak, že si v určitých životních momentech nasazuje masky: Před školním výborem se chová jako idealistický a práci oddaný učitel, jindy hraje nezodpovědného mladého muže či nevědomky napodobuje svého racionálního kolegu Joea Morgana. Hraní rolí ovšem není...

Collected Stories: John Barth
ISBN: 9781628970951 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 800 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When John Barth's Lost in the Funhouse appeared in 1968, American fiction was turned on its head. Barth's writing was not a response to the realistic fiction that characterized American literature at the time; it beckoned back to the founders of the novel: Cervantes, Rabelais, and Sterne, echoing their playfulness and reflecting the freedom inherent in the writing of fiction. This collection of Barth's short fiction is a landmark event, bringing all of his previous collections together in one volume for the first time. Its occasion helps readers assess a remarkable lifetime's... When John Barth's Lost in the Funhouse appeared in 1968, American fiction was turned on its head.

The Floating Opera and The End Of The Road are John Barth's first two novels.Their relationship to each other is evident not only in their ribald subject matter but in the eccentric characters and bitterly humorous tone of the narratives. Both concern strange, consuming love triangles and the destructive effect of an overactive intellect on the emotions. Separately they give two very different views of a universal human drama. Together they illustrate the beginnings of an illustrious career."
