The Deep Zoo
ISBN: 9781566893763 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 165 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Included in Library Journal's -25 Key Indie Fiction Titles, Fall 2014-Winter 2015-
Within the writer's life, words and things acquire power. For Borges it is the tiger and the color red, for Cortazar a pair of amorous lions, and for an early Egyptian scribe the monarch butterfly that metamorphosed into the Key of Life. Ducornet names these powers The Deep Zoo. Her essays take us from the glorious bestiary of Aloys Zotl to Abu Ghraib, from the tree of life to Sade's Silling Castle, from The Epic of Gilgamesh to virtual reality. Says Ducornet, -To write with the... Included in Library Journal's -25 Key Indie Fiction Titles, Fall 2014-Winter 2015-

Vějíře markýze de Sade
ISBN: 9788087705933 / Czeski / Miękka / 2022 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Novela Vějíře markýze de Sade začíná jako protokol z procesu s fochérkou Gabrielle, výrobkyní okázalých a obscénních vějířů pro svého přítele, autora skandálních sexuálních vizí a vězně revolučního režimu. Od této základní zápletky se v koláži záznamů, dopisů a fantastických vizí rozvíjí dramatizovaná úvaha na téma fantazie a skutečnosti, násilí a slasti, odvahy a krutosti, v níž vedle obávaného markýze vystupuje též autorka Deklarace práv ženy a občanky, revolučním tribunálem popravená Olympe de Gouges (1748-1793) nebo biskup...

The Monstrous and the Marvelous
ISBN: 9780872863545 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. With the great Renaissance voyages to the New World came the popularity of Wunderkammern, or cabinets of wonders, in which newly discovered monsters and marvels could be displayed. Like such a cabinet, this collection of essays surveys the monstrous and the marvelous - as transmuted in the alembic of Rikki Ducornet's open-hearted vision - in literature, art, and film. For her, excess anomaly, and heterodoxy entice the imagining mind to embrace -otherness, - enlarge the world, and regenerate Eden. -We need writers to look at difficult issues in a sophisticated manner. Ducornet has... With the great Renaissance voyages to the New World came the popularity of Wunderkammern, or cabinets of wonders, in which newly discovered monster... |

One Marvelous Thing
ISBN: 9781564785190 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 161 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Winner of a 2007 American Academy of Arts and Letters, Rikki Ducornet is beloved as a novelist and essayist, but is known perhaps most of all for her work as a writer of short stories. In the tradition of Italo Calvino, Donald Barthelme, and Angela Carter, Ducornet creates modern-day fables filled with characters as complex and surprising as any in American short fiction. This landmark collection of new stories is generously illustrated by T. Motley, whose gritty, fantastical cartooning explores the same post-magical realism that has been the subject of Ducornet s distinguished career."

Rikki Ducornet is a magical surrealist, postmodern fabulist, multi-talented artist and poet, and author of several novels ripe with epicurean vocabulary, vivid and outrageous imagery, fantastically arcane trivia and erudition, and Rabelaisian re-imaginings of history, among them the Carteresque hellfire of The Stain, the Lewis Carroll homage and wonder-of-wonders The Jade Cabinet, and the beautiful, slowly unfurling heart-attack, Netsuke.
