Manhattan Transfer
ISBN: 9780141184487 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Using experimental montage techniques borrowed from the cinema, descriptions and bursts of overheard conversation, and jumbled case histories of a picaresque cast of characters from dockside crapshooters to high-society flappers, the author constructs a portrait of New York City as a futuristic machine filled with motion, drama and human tragedy.

Rosinante to the Road Again
ISBN: 9781517298456 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Telemachus had wandered so far in search of his father he had quite forgotten what he was looking for. He sat on a yellow plush bench in the cafe El Oro del Rhin, Plaza Santa Ana, Madrid, swabbing up with a bit of bread the last smudges of brown sauce off a plate of which the edges were piled with the dismembered skeleton of a pigeon. Opposite his plate was a similar plate his companion had already polished. Telemachus put the last piece of bread into his mouth, drank down a glass of beer at one spasmodic gulp, sighed, leaned across the table and said: "

Manhattan Transfer
ISBN: 9780618381869 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Considered by many to be John Dos Passos's greatest work, Manhattan Transfer is an expressionistic picture of New York (New York Times) in the 1920s that reveals the lives of wealthy power brokers and struggling immigrants alike.

It is a...

Three Soldiers
ISBN: 9781517298319 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The company stood at attention, each man looking straight before him at the empty parade ground, where the cinder piles showed purple with evening. On the wind that smelt of barracks and disinfectant there was a faint greasiness of food cooking. At the other side of the wide field long lines of men shuffled slowly into the narrow wooden shanty that was the mess hall. Chins down, chests out, legs twitching and tired from the afternoon's drilling, the company stood at attention. Each man stared straight in front of him, some vacantly with resignation, some trying to amuse themselves by noting...

Manhattan Transfer
ISBN: 9783754105771 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Manhattan Transfer, considered to be one of Dos Passos' most important works, describes the development of urban life in New York City from the Gilded Age to the Jazz Age as told through a series of overlapping individual stories, primarily, of four people living in Manhattan from the 1890s to the late 1920s. The book attacks the consumerism and social indifference of contemporary urban life, portraying a Manhattan that is merciless yet teeming with energy and restlessness. The book shows some of Dos Passos' experimental writing techniques and narrative collages.

One Man's Initiation-1917 "the greatest writer of our time" Jean-Paul Sartre John Dos Passos' first novel, a barely disguised autobiography of his withering experiences in France in 1917, was written from diaries he kept when a volunteer in the Norton-Harjes Ambulance Corps, the Red Cross and finally the American Army. A series of sharp, vivid, disconnected impressions written with beautiful, powerful simplicity, conveying the urgency and immediacy of a flowing stream of events. Powerful descriptions of suffering, broken bodies squalor and disintegration are juxtaposed with extraordinarily...

Three Soldiers by John Dos Passos, Fiction, Classics, Literary, War & Military
ISBN: 9781598187144 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. H.L. Mencken, then practising primarily as an American literary critic, praised the book in the pages of The Smart Set. "Until Three Soldiers is forgotten and fancy achieves its inevitable victory over fact, no war story can be written in the United States without challenging comparison with it--and no story that is less meticulously true will stand up to it. At one blast it disposed of oceans of romance and blather. It changed the whole tone of American opinion about the war; it even changed the recollections of actual veterans of the war. They saw, no doubt, substantially what Dos Passos... H.L. Mencken, then practising primarily as an American literary critic, praised the book in the pages of The Smart Set.

John Dos Passos: U.S.A. (LOA #85): The 42nd Parallel / 1919 / The Big Money
ISBN: 9781883011147 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 1312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Unique among American novels for its epic scope and panoramic and social sweep, John Dos Passos' U.S.A. has long been acknowledged as a monument of modern fiction. In the novels that make up the trilogy - The 42nd Parallel (1930), 1919 (1932), and The Big Money (1936) - Dos Passos creates an unforgettable collective portrait of America, shot through with sardonic comedy and brilliant social observation. He interweaves the careers of his characters and the events of their time with a narrative verve and breathtaking technical skill that make U.S.A. among the most compulsively readable of...

The promiscuous wind wafts idly from the quays A smell of ships and curious woods and casks And a sweetness from the gorse on the flowerstand And brushes with his cool careless cheek the cheeks Of those on the street; mine, an old gnarled man's, The powdered cheeks of the girl who with faded eyes Stands in the shadow; a sailor's scarred brown cheeks, And a little child's, who walks along whispering

One Man's Initiation: 1917
ISBN: 9780819153609 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Based on the author's first-hand experience as an ambulance driver during World War I, this first novel is noteworthy for its vivid and colorful portrait of France at that time and for its passionate indictment of war. The author's disillusionment with war, for a time, turned him toward socialism and against capitalism. Finally, after being labeled pro-German and pacifist, Dos Passos concluded that the quasi-religion of Marxism was far more brutal than poor old Capitalism ever dreamed of. Reprinted from the unexpurgated original edition published by Cornell University Press in 1969.
