Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression with full number line. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£14.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks unread. 234pp. If… the dead could speak, what would they say to the living? From their graves in the field, the oldest part of Paulstadt's cemetery, the town's late inhabitants tell stories from their lives. Some recall just a moment, perhaps the one in which they left this world, perhaps the one that they now realize shaped their life forever. Some remember all the people they've been with, or the only person they ever loved. These voices together, young, old, rich poor, build a picture of a community, as viewed from below ground instead of from above. The streets of the small, sleepy provincial town of Paulstadt are given shape and meaning by those who lived, loved, worked, mourned and died there. Robert Seethaler's 'The Field' is about what happens at the end. It is a book of human lives, each one different, yet connected to countless others, that ultimately shows how life, for all its fleetingness, still has meaning. Quite a scarce book.

Jonathan Fabrizius, a journalist living in West Germany, is asked to travel to the contested lands of former East Prussia - where the Nazi legacy lives on in buildings and fortifications - to write about the route for a car rally. It's a plum job, but his interest is piqued by a personal connection. He was born here, among the refugees fleeing the advancing Russians in 1945. ***"Homeland" is a nuanced work from one of the great modern European storytellers, in which an everyday German comes face to face with his painful family history, and devastating questions about ordinary Germans' complicity in the war.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Walter Kempowski (29 April 1929 - 5 October 2007) was a German writer. Kempowski was known for his series of novels called German Chronicle ("Deutsche Chronik") and the monumental Echolot ("Sonar"), a collage of autobiographical reports, letters and other documents by contemporary witnesses of the Second World War. In the immediate postwar period, Kempowski worked for the U.S. Army in Wiesbaden, in the American zone of Allied-occupied Germany. In March 1948, during a visit to his home city of Rostock, in the Soviet zone, in what would later become communist East Germany, he was arrested by Soviet authorities and accused of spying for the U.S. Convicted by a Soviet military tribunal and sentenced to 25 years, he served eight years in a prison in Bautzen, and was released in 1956.'

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. First Edition, 2nd Printing. EX-LIB. UNCIRCULATED Copy. Text/BRAND NEW. Linen boards/Good; strong w/marked discoloration (original blue cloth faded to grey). DJ/None. Loan pocket removal scar to back cover verso. Departing from traditional, chronologically linear study of architectural expr…essions, this volume is a distinct tribute to individual manifestations of creative utopian fabrications as it explores fanciful ideas, past and present, of architectectual shapes with attention to "the expression of whimsy" in the use of structure and materials, as well as in personal or public credo." The essays are: 1, The Found Object, 2, Toward an Extreme Tangibility; 3, Fantastic Frameworks; 4, Fascination with the Transparent; 5, The Sheltering Cave; 6, Labyrinth & Spiral; 7, Formally Restricted Improvisation; 8, A Pre-Figured Architect; 9, Hovering Architecture; 10, The Architectural Utopia; 11, The Futurist City; 12, An Obesession with Height; 13, Uptopian Cliques; 14, The "Utopian Letters"; and, 15, Utopia Today. To this Englis edition, "certain materials, textual and photographic" have been added to forward the author's message.
