The Empire of Forgetting
ISBN: 9781787334557 / Angielski / Miękka / 2025 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. 'A master of language' HILARY MANTEL John Burnside’s last collection of new poems gathers around a single theme – mortality – and draws on his faltering health and earlier glances with death, creating a powerfully moving exploration of memory, forgetting and the seven ages. Here, as always, there is a clear-eyed curiosity; a sense of wonder at the beleaguered natural world and its endless mutability – its hidden beauty, often suddenly disclosed – and a deep faith in its old gods. Burnside was always as much a spirit-guide as a poet, and here, in the Empire of Forgetting, we are...

Versuch über das Licht : Gedichte. Zweisprachige Ausgabe
ISBN: 9783446234963 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 2015 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. John Burnside ist nicht nur ein großartiger Romanautor, sondern auch der bedeutendste schottische Dichter der Gegenwart. Burnsides Lyrik handelt von einfachen Ereignissen: eine Hafenszene, eine Zugfahrt, Tiere, die durch das Licht der Scheinwerfer huschen. Seine Betrachtungen der Natur - seien es Wasserlandschaften in Schottland oder der Gesang einer Amsel - sind Fragen nach dem Rätsel des Seins, gestellt in unaufdringlichem Ton. Mit einer luziden, leuchtenden Sprache erkundet Burnside in seinen Gedichten den unsichtbaren Raum zwischen den Dingen an der Schwelle des Unerhörten.

ISBN: 9781908213631 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Although mostly concealed, our bedrock geology profoundly determines what we see around us - not just our landforms, but the built environment too, from Aberdeen, often called the "granite city" to Bath, constructed from honey-coloured limestone- rocks shape the world around us. In Cornerstones, some of Britain's leading landscape and nature writers consider their relationship with the ground beneath their feet. Distinguished by a strong sense of place and close observation, these essays take the reader out into the landscape and convey the tactile heft, grain and rub of the rock, showing how...
