Invitation to a Beheading
ISBN: 9780679725312 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Like Kafka's The Castle, Invitation to a Beheading embodies a vision of a bizarre and irrational world. In an unnamed dream country, the young man Cincinnatus C. is condemned to death by beheading for "gnostical turpitude," an imaginary crime that defies definition. Cincinnatus spends his last days in an absurd jail, where he is visited by chimerical jailers, an executioner who masquerades as a fellow prisoner, and by his in-laws, who lug their furniture with them into his cell. When Cincinnatus is led out to be executed, he simply wills his executioners out of existence: they...

Pnin, 1 Audio-CD, 1 MP3
ISBN: 9783742421470 / Niemiecki / CD-Audio / 2021 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Der zerstreute Professor Pnin unterrichtet an einem Provinz-College russische Literatur - nicht der beliebteste Kurs in den USA der 50er-Jahre. Überängstlich und zwanghaft versucht sich der Immigrant in der neuen Heimat zurechtzufinden. Doch versteht er weder die Feinheiten der englischen Sprache noch die amerikanischen gesellschaftlichen Codes und taumelt daher von einem Missgeschick zum nächsten. Mit Witz und Charme gelingt es ihm jedoch stets, seine Würde zu bewahren. Einfühlsam verleiht der Schauspieler Ulrich Matthes dem Erzähler seine Stimme.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. „Fikcja stwarza mi tak rzadko okazję do dzielenia się własnym zdaniem, że cieszą mnie te nagłe nawałnice pytań”, wyznaje Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977), rosyjsko-amerykański klasyk literatury XX wieku, i przedstawia nam, co „własnym zdaniem”, a nie zdaniem bohaterów jego powieści, ma do powiedzenia o świecie, a przede wszystkim o sobie. Wypowiada się w zebranych tu wywiadach, listach i artykułach rzucających sporo światła na niezwykłą osobowość tego pisarza. Rosyjski arystokrata pozbawiony przez rewolucję bolszewicką majątku i środków do życia, emigrant,...
