Spider is gaunt, threadbare, unnerved by everything from his landlady to the smell of gas. He tells us his story in a storm of beautiful language that slowly reveals itself as a fiendishly layered construction of truth and illusion. With echoes of Beckett, Poe, and Paul Bowles, Spider is a tale of horror and madness, storytelling and skepticism, a novel whose dizzying style lays bare the deepest layers of subconscious terror.

John Garfield: The Illustrated Career in Films and on Stage
ISBN: 9780786428489 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. One of the most gifted actors of the 1930s and 1940s, John Garfield is too little remembered today. His gritty, true-to-life performances in 35 films, including Body and Soul, which was one of the first movies to raise the ugly specter of race relations in the United States, and in 16 Broadway productions were all highly acclaimed. Garfield is best recalled, by some, for having been targeted by the House Un-American Activities Committee for his liberal political beliefs. Garfield was one of many Hollywood stars blacklisted by Senator Joseph McCarthy and his cronies. "Acting is my...

Don't Look Now: Selected Stories of Daphne Du Maurier
ISBN: 9781590172889 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. An NYRB Original
Daphne du Maurier wrote some of the most compelling and creepy novels of the twentieth century. In books like Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel, and Jamaica Inn she transformed the small dramas of everyday life--love, grief, jealousy--into the stuff of nightmares. Less known, though no less powerful, are her short stories, in which she gave free rein to her imagination in narratives of unflagging suspense. Patrick McGrath's revelatory new selection of du Maurier's stories shows her at her most chilling and most psychologically astute: a dead child... An NYRB Original

Scientists, Business, and the State, 1890-1960
ISBN: 9780807874417 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the late nineteenth century, scientists began allying themselves with America's corporate, political, and military elites. They did so not just to improve their professional standing and win more money for research, says Patrick McGrath, but for political reasons as well. They wanted to use their new institutional connections to effect a transformation of American political culture. They succeeded, but not in ways that all scientists envisioned or agreed upon.
McGrath describes how, between 1890 and 1960, scientific, business, and political leaders together forged a new... In the late nineteenth century, scientists began allying themselves with America's corporate, political, and military elites. They did so not just to ...
