Something Like Happy
ISBN: 9780099575597 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In these remarkable stories, John Burnside takes us into the lives of men and women trapped in marriage, ensnared by drink, diminished by disappointment; all kinds of women, all kinds of men - lonely, unfaithful, dying - driving empty roads at night. These are people for whom the idea of 'home' has become increasingly intangible, hard to believe - and happiness, or grace, or freedom, all now seem to belong in some kind of dream, or a fable they might have read in a children's picture book. As he says in one story, 'All a man has is his work and his sense of himself, all the secret life he...

In his first novel, John Burnside explores the possibilites inherent in a modern-day repetition of Akbars investigations. Following the...

Selected Poems
ISBN: 9780224078030 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. 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...

Nach Jahren des Vorsatzes, niemals so zu werden wie sein Vater, muss sich John Burnside eingestehen, dass er den gleichen Weg eingeschlagen hat wie der Mann, den er zutiefst verachtet: Drogen, Alkohol und die Weigerung, Verantwortung zu übernehmen, haben ihn an den Rand des Wahnsinns gebracht. Ganz unten angekommen, beschließt er, wieder für ein Leben zu kämpfen, das diesen Namen wirklich verdient. Er möchte werden wie alle anderen. John Burnside...
