Nevermore
ISBN: 9780803289598 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 125 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When Deputy Willy Bost arrives in the mysterious border town of San Rosa, he does not know why he has been sent there or what he will find. What he encounters, gradually, is an obscure network of private and public relations tarnished by corruption, ambition, manipulation, and deceit. Nothing is clear in the workings of this sinister city; and no one, including Willy Bost, is altogether innocent. Murder, bombings, deceptions, seductions-all come to the fore in this spellbinding portrait of a society that seems both absurd and real. Nevermore is Marie Redonnet's fifth novel. Her earlier novels...

Naming & Unnaming: On Raymond Queneau
ISBN: 9780803242685 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Naming and Unnaming is a dazzling study that centers on the work of Raymond Queneau, one of the most influential French novelists of the twentieth century. Jordan Stump takes as his subject the many implications epistemological, political, literary, sometimes even physical of naming in Queneau s remarkable novels.
From the idea that the names of characters offer a more immediate and perhaps even a more intimate understanding of their souls than we might glean from their words and deeds has grown the broad field of inquiry known as literary onomastics. Stump argues that there is... Naming and Unnaming is a dazzling study that centers on the work of Raymond Queneau, one of the most influential French novelists of the twenti...

My Big Apartment
ISBN: 9780803286122 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 157 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Winner of the prestigious Prix Medicis and a bestseller in France, My Big Apartment is a humorous and ironic look at the serious subject of growing up. Always accessible but never facile, Christian Oster's books tell of the endless human quest for love and equilibrium in the world. Oster's gift is to make this timeless theme new through deadpan humor, a slyly cerebral style, and a deeply ingrained sense of melancholy. Gavarine, the gentle but immature protagonist of My Big Apartment, is ambitious only in the search for love. When he loses the keys to his apartment, he loses much more than...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Imagine being born into a world where everything about you--the shape of your nose, the look of your hair, the place of your birth--designates you as an undesirable, an inferior, a menace, no better than a cockroach, something to be driven away and ultimately exterminated. Imagine being thousands of miles away while your family and friends are brutally and methodically slaughtered. Imagine being entrusted by your parents with the mission of leaving everything you know and finding some way to survive, in the name of your family and your people. Scholastique Mukasonga's Cockroaches...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Marie NDiaye has long been celebrated for her unrivaled ability to make us see just how little we understand about ourselves.

One day a savage wound appears in Ange's stomach, and as Nadia fights to save her husband's life their hideous neighbor Noget--a man everyone insists is a famous...

ISBN: 9780812966428 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 672 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, who survived alone for almost five years on an uninhabited island off the coast of Chile, The Mysterious Island is considered by many to be Jules Verne's masterpiece.

The Crab Nebula
ISBN: 9780803263703 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Crab Nebula (La Nebuleuse du crabe) is comprised of fifty-two vivid chapters that provide startling insights into the existence of this nebulous man named Crab: his nightmarish-and none too solid-physique, his mysterious absence from the pages of history, his birth in prison, his never having been born at all. In his portrait of Crab, Eric Chevillard gives us a character who is genuinely strange and curiously like ourselves. A postmodernist novel par excellence, The Crab Nebula parodies literary conventions, deconstructs narrative and meaning, and brilliantly combines absurdity and...
