Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Macy weiß, was sie keinesfalls will: Chaos. Denn Chaos macht ihr Angst, macht sie hilflos. Also trägt sie nach außen eine perfekte Fassade zur Schau und sucht sich einen hyperintelligenten Freund, der auf alles eine Antwort zu haben scheint: Jason. Was er ihr nicht geben kann, ist Wärme. Trotzdem ist Macy, als Jason eine Beziehungspause vorschlägt, am Boden zerstört. Und obwohl sie es so gründlich aus ihrem Leben verbannt hat, scheint jetzt eine gute Portion Chaos ihre einzige Rettung. Die kann sie haben - indem sie einen Job bei Wish Catering annimmt.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -With his trademark dry wit, Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle is an inventive science fiction satire that preys on our deepest fears of witnessing Armageddon - and, worse still, surviving it. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Benjamin Kunkel.Dr Felix Hoenikker, one of the founding 'fathers' of the atomic bomb, has left a deadly legacy to humanity. For he is the inventor of ice-nine, a lethal chemical capable of freezing the entire planet. Writer Jonah's search for his whereabouts leads him to Hoenikker's three eccentric children, to an island republic in the Caribbean where the absurd religion of Bokononism is practised, to love and to insanity. Told with deadpan humour and bitter irony, Kurt Vonnegut's cult tale of global destruction is a frightening and funny satire on the end of the world and the madness of mankind.Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) was born in Indianapolis. During the Second World War he was a prisoner in Germany and present at the bombing of Dresden, an experience he recounted in his famous novel Slaughterhouse Five (1969). His first novel, Player Piano, was published in 1951 and since then he has written many novels, including The Sirens of Titan, Jailbird, Deadeye Dick, Galapagos and Hocus Pocus. If you enjoyed Cat's Cradle, you might like Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'One of the warmest, wisest, funniest voices to be found anywhere in fiction'Sam Leith, Daily Telegraph'A free-wheeling vehicle . An unforgettable ride!'The New York Times'Vonnegut looked the world straight in the eye and never flinched'J.G. Ballard 224 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Paperback edition of Klein's examination of America's 'free market' policies, and how they have come to dominate the world. She shows how deliberate use of the shock doctrine produced world-changing events, from Pinochet's coup in Chile in 1973 to the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989, and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Highly critical of the exploitation of disaster shocked people and countries, this will change the debate, as Klein's previous book 'No Logo', which sold over 2 million copies, did. 'A brilliant, brave and terrifying book. compulsory reading' Arundhati Roy \*Also appeared in April Buyer's Notes\*.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Cheating at Canasta - an outstanding collection of stories by the master storyteller William Trevor'There is no better short story writer in the English-speaking world' Wall Street Journal''No matter what,' Julia had said, aware then of what was coming, 'let's always play cards.' And they did; for even with her memory gone, a little more of it each day - her children taken, her house, her flowerbeds, belongings, clothes - their games in the communal drawing room were a reality her affliction allowed.'A husband sits in Harry's Bar in Venice, thinking of his wife - lost to him now - whose plea has brought him back to one of their favourite haunts. On another table, a young couple quarrel. 'Cheating at Canasta' is the title story of William Trevor's collection, his first since the highly acclaimed A Bit on the Side, and its themes of missed opportunities, the inevitability of change and the powerful but fragmentary quality of our memories are entirely characteristic of his unparalleled oeuvre.
