The Development
ISBN: 9780547394503 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) I find myself inclined to set down for whomever, before my memory goes kaput altogether, some account of our little community, in particular of what Margie and I consider to have been its most interesting hour: the summer of the Peeping Tom. Something has disturbed the comfortably retired denizens of a pristine Florida-style gated community in Chesapeake Bay country. In the dawn of the new millennium and the evening of their lives, these empty nesters discover that their tidy enclave can be as colorful, shocking, and surreal as any of John Barth s fictional locales. From the high jinks of a...

Collected Stories: John Barth
ISBN: 9781628970951 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 800 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 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.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This playful and jazzy triad about fateful threesomes provides an engagingly postmodern commentary on the art of storytelling, classic mythology, and literature.

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...

George I. Newett and his wife Amanda Todd lived in the gated community of Heron Bay Estates until its destruction by a fluke tornado. This event, Newett notes, occurred on the 77th anniversary of the 1929 stock market crash, a detail that would appear insignificant if it were not for several subsequent events.

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...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this novelistic romp that is by turns hilarious and brilliant, John Barth spoofs his own place in the pantheon of contemporary fiction and the generation of writers who have followed his literary trailblazing.
