Brought together one sweltering afternoon to stand guard over an ammunition dump threatened by a forest fire, they discover in each other an unexpected capacity for recklessness and violence.

Oto początek naszej historii. Opowiadania wybrane
ISBN: 9788383960999 / Polski / twarda / 2025 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Te historie dzieją się w Stanach Zjednoczonych, gdzieś między prezydenturą Kennedyego a epoką młodszego Busha. Bohaterami są zwykle mężczyźni, z portfelem raczej pustym niż nabitym, częściej żyjący na prowincji niż w metropolii. Żołnierze i eksżołnierze, nauczyciele, uczniowie, myśliwi, różnej maści rozbitkowie. Ktoś żywi urazę do brata, ktoś ma nadwagę i jest pośmiewiskiem kolegów, komuś zepsuł się samochód. Niepozorne sytuacje, osadzone wśród powszednich gestów i przedmiotów, ukradkiem eskalują, by na chwilę ukazać życie z niecodzienną...

Old School
ISBN: 9780375701498 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The protagonist of Tobias Wolff's shrewdly--and at times devastatingly--observed first novel is a boy at an elite prep school in 1960. He is an outsider who has learned to mimic the negligent manner of his more privileged classmates. Like many of them, he wants more than anything on earth to become a writer. But to do that he must first learn to tell the truth about himself.
The agency of revelation is the school literary contest, whose winner will be awarded an audience with the most legendary writer of his time. As the fever of competition infects the boy and his classmates, fraying...

The Night in Question: Stories
ISBN: 9780679781554 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) One of the sinuous and subtly crafted stories in Tobias Wolff's new collection--his first in eleven years--begins with a man biting a dog. The fact that Wolff is reversing familiar expectations is only half the point. The other half is that Wolff makes the reversal seem inevitable: the dog has attacked his protagonist's young daughter. And everywhere in The Night in Question, we are reminded that truth is deceptive, volatile, and often the last thing we want to know.
A young reporter writes an obituary only to be fired when its subject walks into his office, very much alive. A... One of the sinuous and subtly crafted stories in Tobias Wolff's new collection--his first in eleven years--begins with a man biting a dog. The fact th...
