ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Главный герой романа Вадима Чекунова "Шанхай" живет в Поднебесной. В российском прошлом остались: теракт на Каширке, после которого герой принял окончательное решение уехать из России, любимо-постылая бывшая жена и вся русская культура в целом, обращениями к которой наполнен роман.
И вдруг, нечаянным даром небес, в его жизнь приходит любовь к юной китайской девушке, в платье из красных шелков, где золотом вышиты осы, цветы и драконы. Любовь, которая прекрасна, как жизнь, и неотвратима, как смерть...
Тема смерти - будущей, неизбежной - постоянно присутствует в тексте, начиная от взрыва на Каширском шоссе и заканчивая страшным землетрясением в Сычуани. Из этнографических заметок автор создал исповедальный роман о жизни и любви русского человека за границей.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
First in a two volume collection of short stories by the acclaimed author of ‘Empire of the Sun’, ‘Crash’ and ‘Super-Cannes’. The new edition is introduced by Adam Thirwell.
‘A one-man genre. He was impregnably sui generis. No one is or was remotely like him’ Martin Amis
For over four decades, J. G. Ballard was one of Britain’s most celebrated and original novelists. However, during his long career he was also a prolific writer of short stories, a form in which many argue he laid his firmest claim to greatness.
This, the first book in a two-volume collection, offers an unparalleled introduction to a master storyteller. Set out in the original order of publication, its stories – many of them embryos for later novels – present the full imaginative range of one of Britain’s greatest writers.
This edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballard’s works, featuring introductions from a number of his admirers (including Ali Smith, Iain Sinclair, Martin Amis and N ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Grief is like an inside joke: you have to have been there to really get it.
The only things Cassandra knows about her family are the stories she's heard in snatches over the years: about the aunt and cousin she never got to meet, about the man from the folded-up photograph in one of her aunt's drawers, and of course about her cousin Chevy, and why he never speaks - but no one utters a word about them any more.
When a call from one of her sisters brings Cassandra news of Chevy's death, she has to return home for the funeral. To Toronto and the big house on Florence Street, where her sisters are hiding more than themselves in their rooms, where the tension brewing between her mother and aunts has been decades in the making, and where sooner or later every secret, unspoken word and painful memory will find its way out into the open.
Moving between Toronto and Trinidad, Wild Fires is a vivid and compelling story exploring the ways we mourn and why we avoid the very things that can save us.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Emily should be happy. She has a nice husband (even if they rarely speak to each other, let alone sleep in the same bed), two little boys she loves (even if a full night’s sleep is a distant memory) – and now, a brand-new house in which they can live out all of the bourgeois fantasies she knows she should be ashamed of. But still she aches for something more.
Enter Alathea and Elliott, their new neighbours, and also parents of two young boys. Alathea is intimidatingly confident and beautiful, but also disarmingly open and friendly. And Elliott … Elliott is intriguing. Dishevelled, talented, charming and a little lost, he seems as fascinated by Emily as she is by him, and soon their friendship has reached an intensity neither of them seem able to control.
As riotously funny as it is painfully moving, this is a novel about disappointment and yearning; about parenting and growing up; and the search for love, meaning and connection.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The new novel about the transformative power of art, the weight of history and the strange connection we make with one another from the author of The Speckled People.
Narrated in the voice of Joseph Roth's masterpiece Rebellion, Hugo Hamilton's stunning, formally inventive new novel tells the life story of that book, initially rescued from the Nazi book-burning in Berlin in May 1933. It recounts the life of its Austrian-Jewish author, a writer on the run, and his intriguing wife Friederike who fell victim to mental illness.
And it tells a multitude of other stories: of Andreas Pum, a barrel-organ player down on his luck; of a young German American woman who finds a small map drawn by hand on its own blank page in the back, a thrilling mystery which will lead her to Berlin, the book's birthplace.
The Pages carries profound echoes from the past into the present day and is an inspiring story of the survival of literature over a hundred years.
