Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -With Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, Man Booker International Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk returns with a subversive, entertaining noir novel. In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. She is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people; she's unconventional, believing in the stars; and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken. When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation. By no means a conventional crime story, this existential thriller by 'one of Europe's major humanist writers' (Guardian) offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion, belief in predestination - and caused a genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk's native Poland.; Ein Dorf an der polnisch-tschechischen Grenze. Im Sommer tummeln sich hier wohlhabende Warschauer. In den Wintermonaten fliehen die meisten Einwohner das windumtoste Hochplateau im Glatzer Kessel. Die alleinstehende Englischlehrerin Janina Deszeijko widmet sich in den langen dunklen Tagen ihren astrologischen Studien und der Übersetzung von Gedichten des verehrten Willam Blake. Man hält die alte Dame für verschroben, wenn nicht gar für verrückt, auch weil sie die Gesellschaft von Tieren der von Menschen vorzieht. Dann gibt es einen Toten. Janinas ungeliebter Nachbar Big Foot ist grausam erstickt, in seiner Kehle steckt der Knochen eines Tiers. Und es bleibt nicht bei dieser einen Leiche. Janina hat einen starken Verdacht und ermittelt auf eigene Faust. Aber ist sie wirklich auf der richtigen Spur Komödie, Fabel, Thriller, politischer Essay, literarisches Spiel - dieser Roman passt in keine Schublade. Auf ebenso komische, wie erschütternde Weise zeigt Tokarczuk gemeinsam mit ihrer hinreißend-schrulligen Heldin, wie sehr es unserer Gesellschaft an Empathie und Respekt mangelt, ob unsere Mitmenschen oder der Natur gegenüber, und erzählt zugleich eine rasante Kriminalgeschichte reich an skurrilem Witz. 274 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -On 7 April 1986, Annie Ernaux's mother, after years of suffering from Alzheimer's disease, died in a retirement home in the suburbs of Paris. Shocked by this loss which, despite her mother's condition, she had refused to fathom, Ernaux embarks on a daunting journey back through time in an effort to recover the different facets of a woman whose openness to the world and appetite for reading created the conditions for the author's own social ascent. Mirroring A Man's Place, in which she narrates her father's slow rise to material comfort, A Woman's Story explores the ambiguous and unshakeable bond between mother and daughter, its fluctuation over the course of their lives, the alienating worlds that separate them and the inescapable truth that we must lose the ones we love. In this quietly powerful tribute to the last thread connecting her to the world out of which she was born, Ernaux attempts to do her mother the greatest justice she can: to portray her as the individual she was. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Long considered one of Simone de Beauvoir's masterpieces, A Very Easy Death is a profoundly affecting, day-by-day recounting of her mother's final days after she is hospitalized following a fall. Though a devout Catholic, her faith is subsumed by her terror of death, and as her body fails, she clings to life with fierce, primal desperation.

Powerful, touching and sometimes shocking, this is an end-of-life account that no reader is likely to forget.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Are we ever truly lost in the internet age The Observable Universe is a moving, genre-defying memoir of a woman reckoning with the loss of her parents, the virus that took them, and what it means to search for meaning in a hyperconnected world. When she was a child, Heather McCalden lost her parents to AIDS. She was seven when her father died and ten when she lost her mother. Growing up in Los Angeles in the 1990s, her personal devastation was mirrored by a city that was ground zero for the virus and its destruction. Years later, after becoming a writer and an artist, she begins to research the mysterious parallels between the histories of AIDS and the internet. She questions what it means to 'go viral' in an era of explosive biological and virtual contagion and simultaneously finds her own past seeping into her investigation. While connecting her disparate strands of research - images, fragments of scientific thought, musings on Raymond Chandler and late-night Netflix binges - she makes an unexpected discovery about what happened to her family and who her parents might have been. Entwining an intensely personal search with a history of viral culture and an ode to Los Angeles, The Observable Universe is a prismatic account of loss calibrated precisely to our existence in a post-pandemic, post-internet life.…

In an environment dominated by the omnipresence of animals, five generations endure the cataclysm of war, economic disasters, and the emergence of a brutal industrialism reflecting an ancestral tendency to violence. Only the enchanted realm of childhood-that of Eleonore, the matriarch, and that of Jerome, the last in the lineage-and the innate freedom of the animals offer any respite from the visible barbarity of humanity. Written in shifting prose that reflects the passage of time, with shades of Laszlo Krasznahorkai and Cormac McCarthy, Animalia is a powerful novel about man's desire to conquer nature and the transmission of violence from one generation to the next. …
