ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
In Killing Monica Bushnell spoofs and skewers her way through pop culture, celebrity worship, fame and even the meaning of life itself, when a famous writer must resort to faking her own death in order to get her life back from her most infamous creation - Monica. With her trademark humour and style, Killing Monica is Bushnell's sharpest, funniest book to date. This is Bushnell at her best - full of mordant wit, casual sex and highly conspicuous consumption.

Storyland. A New Mythology of Britain (Riverrun)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2564.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Soaked in mist and old magic, Storyland is a new illustrated mythology of Britain, set in its wildest landscapes.
It begins between the Creation and Noah's Flood, follows the footsteps of the earliest generation of giants from an age when the children of Cain and the progeny of fallen angels walked the earth, to the founding of Britain, England, Wales and Scotland, the birth of Christ, the wars between Britons, Saxons and Vikings, and closes with the arrival of the Normans.
These are retellings of medieval tales of legend, landscape and the yearning to belong, inhabited with characters now half-remembered: Brutus, Albina, Scota, Arthur and Bladud among them. Told with narrative flair, embellished in stunning artworks and glossed with a rich and erudite commentary. We visit beautiful, sacred places that include prehistoric monuments like Stonehenge and Wayland's Smithy, spanning the length of Britain from the archipelago of Orkney to as far south as Cornwall; mountains and l ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The Mafia and the Ten Commandments meet in these interlinked short stories about the undebelly of Naples. Ten uncovers the raw heart of a city, telling the stories of ordinary people forced to make extraordinary compromises in a place permeated by crime.
We encounter a son who finds that he is capable of a terrible act when faced with his mother’s suffering 'because someone had to do it'; a girl whose only outlet for the horrors of an adult’s abuse is to confide in a stuffed toy; an ancient nightclub singer whose ambition has led him to become a drug tester for a Mafia boss; and Ray-Ban who, during a night of mayhem with his friends, manages to steal the wrong car and pays dearly for it.
Each comes to life with painful precision in the hands of Andrej Longo – their fears, regrets, energy and grace. In direct and sometimes brutally raw prose, he conjures a searing new vision of Naples. With the lightest of brush strokes, Longo builds a vivid portrait of a city, its people, a ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A student moves to the city to research Gothic nudes, renting an apartment from a painter, Agnes, who lives in another town with her husband. One day, Agnes arrives in the city and settles into the upstairs studio.
In their meetings on the stairs, in the studio, at the corner cafe, the kitchen at dawn, Agnes tells stories of her youth, her family, her marriage, and ideas for her art - which is always just about to be created. As the months pass, it becomes clear that Agnes might not have a place to return to. The student is increasingly aware of Agnes's disintegration. Her stories are frenetic; her art scattered and unfinished, white paint on a white canvas.
What emerges is the menacing sense that every life is always at the edge of disaster, no matter its seeming stability.
White on White is a sharp exploration of empathy and cruelty, and the stunning discovery of what it means to be truly vulnerable, and laid bare.

A provocatively entertaining, savagely funny satire on Donald Trump by Britain’s greatest comic novelist.
Pussy is the story of Prince Fracassus, heir presumptive to the Duchy of Origen, famed for its golden-gated skyscrapers and casinos, who passes his boyhood watching reality shows on TV, imagining himself to be the Roman Emperor Nero, and fantasizing about hookers. He is idle, boastful, thin-skinned and egotistic; has no manners, no curiosity, no knowledge, no idea and no words in which to express them. Could he, in that case, be the very leader to make the country great again?

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Amis’s powers of comic invention are formidable in this dark tale of disaster, sex, love, murder - and darts.
Set in a pre-millennial, pre-apocalyptic London, the novel follows femme fatale Nicola Six who has a premonition that she will be murdered on her thirty-fifth birthday. A willing victim, or ‘murderee’, Nicola sets out to arrange her own death by manipulating and fomenting a cast of unloveable yet compelling characters including Keith Talent, a yobbish low-life criminal and porn addict, Guy Clinch, handsome, wealthy and totally hapless, and the novel’s narrator Samson Young, an American Jew with a terminal illness and a serious case of writer’s block.
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, London Fields reveals Amis at his most daring, revelling in post-modern gamesmanship and savage wit to serve up an incisive portrait of a world stumbling noisily towards the abyss.
