ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
С определённого момента жизнь Александры разделяется на две реальности. Одна - обычная, где много проблем, сложные отношения, работа. Другая - приходит с темнотой и одиночеством. У неё есть запах, голос, чьё-то присутствие за спиной и внимательный взгляд. И эта пугающая реальность с каждым днём всасывает Сашу всё сильнее, открывая в ней неожиданные для неё самой детали, склонности и пристрастия.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Йорген Хофмейстер делает все, чтобы его считали образцовым соседом, добросовестным сотрудником, интеллигентным человеком, прилежным супругом и заботливым отцом. Однако год за годом его благопристойный мир рушится: несчастливый брак, неудачная карьера, финансовый крах. Йорген стойко переносит удары судьбы, пока не случается катастрофа - его младшая дочь, одержимо любимая Тирза, отправляется со своим молодым человеком в путешествие в Африку и исчезает... Безутешный отец бросает все и летит на поиски.
Арнон Грюнберг затягивает нас в водоворот эмоций, балансируя между нежностью, запретными откровениями и страшными разоблачениями. Он покажет читателю зеркало, заставив нас увидеть то, что мы отказываемся видеть. Ecce homo - это человек.
Книга переведена на 23 языка и признана многими литературными критиками одним из лучших романов века. Экранизация "Тирзы" была номинирована на премию "Оскар".

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Семейство Бриско оказывается в центре внимания жителей небольшого городка Олимп, штат Техас, когда взрослый сын Питера и Юны, Марч, возвращается в родные края. И это спустя два года после того, как он имел наглость закрутить роман с женой своего старшего брата Гепа! Забыть о таком трудно, да и родители не слишком-то рады его внезапному появлению, в особенности Юна, у которой Геп всегда ходил в любимчиках.
Помимо непутевого сына, Юне также порядком надоели многочисленные измены супруга: она долгие годы закрывала на это глаза, но теперь твердо решила, что с нее хватит.
Удивительным образом возвращение Марча становится отправной точкой, после которой в жизни всех членов семьи Бриско наступают перемены. Кто-то умирает, чей-то брак трещит по швам, в одночасье рвутся казавшиеся доселе прочными старые связи. Возможно ли, что родственные узы, долгие годы помогавшие держаться на плаву, вдруг стали тяжкой ношей, которая тянет на дно?
В увлекательной, исполненной тонкого психологиз ...

The Post-Birthday World (The Borough Press)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2160.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
From the Orange Prize winning author of We Need to Talk About Kevin, this is the novel Lionel Shriver wrote directly afterwards. The Post-Birthday World is an unflinching account of the choices that unfold before us and what our decisions really mean.
Irina McGovern's destiny hinges on a single kiss. Whether she gives into its temptation will determine whether she stays with her reliable partner Lawrence, or runs off with Ramsey, a hard-living snooker player.
Employing a parallel universe structure, Shriver spins Irina's competing futures with two drastically different men. An intellectual and fellow American, Lawrence is clever and supportive, but rigid and emotionally withdrawn. A British celebrity, Ramsey is passionate and spontaneous, but jealous, undereducated, and prone to pick arguments. Their contrasting characters will colour her other relationships, her career, and the texture of her daily life.
If love is always about trade-offs-if every romantic prospect is flawed-how can we ever know

Collected Stories (Vintage books)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Comprising stories from her debut collection, Blood, and the critically acclaimed Where You Find It - this collection presents some of the best known and most loved works by one of Scotland's 'most gifted and original writers' (Times Literary Supplement).
Each sharply observed, savagely accurate and brilliantly realised - the stories offer revelatory glimpses into everyday lives - from an unwelcome act of kindness at a bus stop, an evening walk across a London bridge, a welcome but uncomfortable summer break to a brutal lesson in trust.
Here also are unflinching portrayals of relationships: the struggle to love against the odds, the overpowering yearning to communicate, and the extraordinary epiphanies where the world falls away leaving only the lovers.
These are painstakingly crafted stories: engaging, funny and terrifyingly true, from a master of the form.

But through the stories his great-uncle tells him-the same stories he told the commandant of a Nazi concentration camp-Momik, too, becomes "infected with humanity."
See Under: Love is a luminously imaginative and profoundly affecting work.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Two men meet for a pint in a Dublin pub...
In 2012, Roddy Doyle showed us the world anew: through the back-and-forth of two Dublin pub-dwellers. They chewed the fat, set the world to rights, slagged each other unmercifully. And along the way, they chased the ebb and flow and stupidity of the year right to the bottom of their pints.
Today, they're still at it - even over Zoom, if needs be. Collected for the first time, here is almost a decade's worth of elections and referendums, births and deaths, football, financial crashes, pandemics and the philosophical questions of life, as told through the wit and warmth of Roddy Doyle's comic genius.
Includes: Two Pints, Two More Pints, Two for the Road - and, for the first time in print, Two Pints: The Play and The Zoom Pints

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Overstory, an enthralling, wrenching novel about the lives and choices of one family, caught on the cusp of identities.
Jonah, Ruth and Joseph are the children of mixed-race parents determined to raise them beyond time, beyond identity, steeped in song. Yet they cannot be protected from the world forever.
Even as Jonah becomes a successful young tenor, the opera arena remains fixated on his race. Ruth turns her back on classical music and disappears, dedicating herself to activism and a new relationship. As the years pass, Joseph – the middle child, a pianist and our narrator – must battle not just to remain connected to his siblings, but to forge a future of his own.
This is a story of the tragedy of race in America, told through the lives and choices of one family caught on the cusp of identities.

One day, out of the blue, Henry Nagel inherits a sumptuous apartment in St John's Wood. Divine intervention? Or his late father's love nest? Henry doesn't know, but he is glad to escape the North. After nearly sixty years of angry disappointment, Henry's life is about to change.
Not that the ghosts of Henry's past are prepared to disappear without a struggle - his old school-friend and rival Osmond 'Hovis' Belkin, currently enjoying success in Hollywood; his tragic great aunt Marghanita for whom Henry once entertained a dangerous passion; and his father Izzi, upholsterer turned illusionist, fire-eater and origamist, whose shade Henry interrogates relentlessly. But the present clamours as loudly as the past. His dyspeptic neighbour Lachlan wants his sympathy; Lachlan's sloppy red setter, Angus, wants a walk; and Moira, the waitress with the crooked smile and custard hair, seems to want him. Kicking and screaming every inch of the way, Henry realises he might finally be

Blood River. A Journey to Africa's Broken Heart (Vintage books)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2163.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A compulsively readable account of an African country now virtually inaccessible to the outside world and one journalist's daring and adventurous journey.
When war correspondent Tim Butcher was sent to cover Africa in 2000 he quickly became obsessed with the idea of recreating H.M. Stanley's famous nineteenth century trans-Africa expedition - but travelling alone.
Despite warnings that his plan was 'suicidal', Butcher set out for the Congo's eastern border with just a rucksack and a few thousand dollars hidden in his boots. Making his way in an assortment of vessels including a motorbike and a dugout canoe, helped along by a cast of unlikely characters, he followed in the footsteps of the great Victorian adventurers.
Butcher's journey was a remarkable feat, but the story of the Congo, told expertly and vividly in this book, is more remarkable still.
