On the terrace of an elaborate hilltop apartment overlooking a Central American capital, four people sit making polite conversation.

The girl, his mistress, is very young and very beautiful. Sitting there, watching the sunset, the Slades seem to be enjoying the sort of fortunate chance encounter that travelers cherish.

In many ways the speed with which financial resources traverse the globe, the opportunities which this provides for the efficient allocation of resources, the possibilities which this creates for financial crises and traders who act as agents removed from the concerns of national citizens have come to symbolize the phenomenon, hopes and fears of 'globalization'. However, inextricably linked they may be, but well understood they are not. In the case of national currencies, a wide variety of predictions and analyses...

Paul Bowles on Music
ISBN: 9780520236554 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. "It's an easy enough job if one has something to say," Paul Bowles remarked in a letter to his mother about his first foray into music criticism. And Paul Bowles, indeed, had plenty to say about music. Though known chiefly as a writer of novels and stories, Paul Bowles (1910-99) thought of himself first and foremost as a composer. Drawing together the work he did at the intersection of his two passions and professions, writing and music, this volume collects the music criticism Bowles published between 1935 and 1946 as well as an interview conducted by Irene Herrmann shortly before his death....

Since the collapse of the Soviet bloc the world has become a new stage for capital, and yet despite this dominance capitalism is still not widely understood.

Dust on Her Tongue
ISBN: 9780872862722 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Set in Guatemala, these spare and beautiful tales are linked by themes of magic, violence, and the fragility of existence. Paul Bowle's translation perfectly captures Rey Rosa's stories of the haunted lives of ordinary people in present-day Central America. "A genuinely surprising and original set of stories...a sense of violent unease shading into terror drifts up from every line...his writing has a sharp, almost sadistic edge." --The Times Literary Supplement "Compelling in the extreme...these twelve tales (that) boast of hidden dangers and lurking terrors, are...

The Beggar's Knife
ISBN: 9780872861640 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From one of Guatemala's finest young writers, these twenty-six stories--at once brutal and intensely lyrical--are peopled with sorcerers, ghosts, and assassins. Springing from myth and beliefs indigenous to Central America and North America, where their action occurs, Rey Rosa's tales give the sense of being dreamed. At the same time they can be read as metaphors for the terror and oppression of years of warfare. -The Beggar's Knife was originally subtitled '24 strange tales' in the English translation by Paul Bowles, published by City Lights Books in 1985. This... From one of Guatemala's finest young writers, these twenty-six stories--at once brutal and intensely lyrical--are peopled with sorcerers, ghosts, a... |

M'Hashish
ISBN: 9780872860346 / Angielski / Miękka / 1968 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. -Ah, - said Hassan, -I don't believe in the world. There's another world where life is different.- These are stories of that world. The word m'hashish (equivalent in Moghrebi of -behashished- or -full of hashish-) is used only in a literal sense, but also figuratively, to describe a person whose behavior seems irrational or unexpected. The tales here deal with some of the possible results, desirable and questionable, of being in that state. Mohammed Mrabet was born in Tangier in 1936. Since meeting in the early 1960's, Paul Bowles has taped and translated numerous strange... -Ah, - said Hassan, -I don't believe in the world.

For the past forty years, Paul Bowles has answered questions about the autobiographical references in his novels (The Sheltering Sky, Let It Come Down, The Spider's House, and Up Above the World) and about his work as a composer in New York, all the time insisting, -I don't want anyone to know about me.- In these more than twenty interviews dating from 1952 to the present, Bowles gives a variety of answers that reveal as much as they conceal. Too gracious to refuse interviews, he regards inquiries with the same clear-eyed detachment that marks his prose,...

No Exit
ISBN: 9780573613050 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Fantasy / Characters: 2 male, 2 female
Scenery: Interior No Exit was first presented in New York at the Biltmore Theatre with Claude Dauphin, Annabella, and Ruth Ford. Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in hell. The windows are bricked up; there are no mirrors; the electric lights can never be turned off; and there is no exit. The irony of this hell is that its torture is not of the rack and fire, but of the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned. Here the soul is shorn of secrecy,... Fantasy / Characters: 2 male, 2 female
