The Hoop
ISBN: 9780856357428 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In 'The Hoop', his first book of poems, John Burnside takes his bearings from Celtic mythology and from landscape, especially that of Gloucestershire. 'The things that contribute to how I work are botanical texts and drawings, fairy stories, Celtic and Romance literature.' The originality of his work lies in its themes - stewardship of the land, a sense that landscape by being described is valued and preserved - and in his disciplined eye and ear.

In Persian myth, it is said that Akbar the Great once built a palace which he filled with newborn children, attended only by mutes, in order to learn whether language is innate or aquired. As the year passed and the children grew into their silent and difficult world, this palace became known as the Gang Mahal, or Dumb House. In his first novel, John Burnside explores the possibilites inherent in a modern-day repetition of Akbars investigations. Following the...

Was macht eine gute Beziehung aus? Was ist Liebe - und was nicht? John Burnsides Geschichten tauchen in das Leben von Männern und Frauen ein, die - in einer Ehe gefangen, gebeutelt von falschen Erwartungen, dem Alkohol verfallen - alles andere als ideale Paare verkörpern. Untreu, einsam, krank, begegnet man seinen Heldinnen und Helden bevorzugt nachts auf leeren Straßen. Von so etwas wie Glück können sie nur träumen, ihre Gefühle bleiben meist sprachlos. Und doch könnten sie unsere Nachbarn sein.Burnside... Die ganze Verletzlichkeit des Lebens in nur einem Moment_

I Put a Spell on You
ISBN: 9780099554943 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In this exquisite, haunting book, John Burnside describes his coming of age from the industrial misery of Cowdenbeath and Corby to the new world of Cambridge. This is a memoir of romance - of lost love and the love of being lost - darkened by threat, illuminated by glamour. The old Scots word 'glamour' means magical charm, and the first time he was played I Put a Spell on You, John Burnside thought he had never heard a more beautiful song - it was an enchantment, a fascination that would turn to obsession. Implicit in the song were all the ambiguities that intrigued him - love, possession and...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) "A master of beautiful language." --Hilary Mantel, author, Wolf Hall Corby, the industrial new town built around a vast steel works, draws many to the fires of its furnaces--in the hope of steady work, a better house, a fresh start. Among them are Francis Cameron, from Scotland, and his friend Jan Ruckert, the son of Latvian refugees. Alienated, intelligent, and curious, they form a strong and lasting bond: two teenage boys finding their feet in a foreign place. But violence hangs in the Corby air like the ash and the stench from the steel works, and when it comes down it is sudden...

Gift Songs
ISBN: 9780224079976 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) To the Shakers, a good song was a gift; indeed the test of a song s goodness was how much of a gift it was. In their call to "labour to make the way of God your own," Shaker artists expressed an aesthetic that had much in common with the old Japanese notion, attributed to Hokusai, that to paint bamboo, one had first to "become" bamboo. In his 10th collection, John Burnside begins with an interrogation of the gift song, treating matters of faith and connection, the community of living creatures and the idea of a free churchwhere faith is placed, not in dogma or a possible credo, but in the...

Mysterious illnesses affect the inhabitants of the post-industrial village of Innertown, and a pervasive sense of malaise hangs everywhere. So when teenage boys disappear into the poisoned woods surrounding the village s abandoned chemical plant, no one notices, or if they do, they don t say a thing. Not even the town s only cop, whose leads have long since died. To one boy, however, the chemical plant is beautiful, and it is there he will enact...

Selected Poems
ISBN: 9780224078030 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Over 17 years and nine collections, John Burnside has built--in the words of Bernard O'Donoghue--"a poetic corpus of the first significance," a poetry of luminous, limpid grace. His territory is the no-man's-land of threshold and margin, the charmed half-light of the liminal, a domestic world threaded through with mystery, myth, and longing. In this volume these themes emerge and develop within the growing confidence of Burnside's sinuous lyric poise: the place of the individual in the world, the idea of dwelling and home, and the lure of absence and escape are set against the possibilities...
