Living Nowhere
ISBN: 9780099448556 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "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...

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.

I Put a Spell on You
ISBN: 9780099554943 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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...

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...

In this absorbing, brilliant new collection -- his first since "Black Cat Bone" -- John Burnside examines our shared experience of this mortal world: how we are 'all one breath' and --- with that breath -- -how we must strive towards the harmony of choir. Recognising that our attitudes to other creatures -- human and non-human -- cause too much damage and hurt, that 'we''ve been going at this for years: a steady delete of anything that tells us what we are', these poems celebrate the...

Gift Songs
ISBN: 9780224079976 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa 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...

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...
