Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -An irresistibly witty satire about a dinner party where the foodie guests have a grand amount of taste but no social clue at all. 'Clever, amusing and delightfully compact. To be consumed in one sitting, it pairs wonderfully with a glass or four of fizz.' -- Daily Mail For the hostess, food has always been about growing up. From the pancakes your grandmother made, dolloped with jam, to the salty glug of your very first oyster. Now, poised at the brink of midlife, the hostess prepares for a dinner party in her new apartment, desperate for the envy of her cultured friends. With a hunger for the finer things in life, she folds linen napkins into neat triangles, arranges wildflowers for the table and puts on a playlist that projects effortless cool. But her composure begins to falter when her guests arrive drunk and late, downing bottles of her perfectly cooled wine and trailing water over the floor. Here comes the chain-smoking professor who never says the right thing, the husband glued to his smartphone, the wife who makes a secret pass at your boyfriend. As small talk and social preening give way to sexual tension and lost inhibitions, the hostess struggles to maintain control over an evening far beyond her wildest imaginings. Outrageously funny and keenly observed, this is the 1st novel by Austrian powerhouse Teresa Präauer to be translated into English, and a delectable feast of social satire for readers of Perfection and The Anthropologists. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A new translation of 5 remarkable stories from Japan's first professional woman writer, chronicling the lives of the turn-of-the-century working class This collection of short stories, several never before translated, brings the work of Ichiyo Higuchi to an English readership for the first time. In her brief life, cut short by tuberculosis at the age of 24, she became the first woman in Japan to make a living as a writer. A major figure of turn-of-the-century Meiji-era literature, she left behind her a collection of short stories, poems and diaries that turned creative attention to the lives of Tokyo's poor and broke a path for women and realist fiction writers alike. In the title story, 'Troubled Waters', courtesan Oriki dismisses a lover who can no longer afford to pay for her favors - but when his obsession continues the consequences for both, and for his wife and child, will turn tragic. 'Growing Pains', one of the single most famous short stories in Japanese literature, depicts the coming of age of a group of children in Tokyo's red-light district. Lively Midori, serious Nobu and hardworking Shota find childhood and its freedoms coming to a close over the course of a season, bookended by summer and winter festivals whose events prove decisive for each of their lives. These and 3 other stories are rendered in a fresh translation by Bryan Karetnyk, giving English readers access to Higuchi's sensitive moral awareness, earthy street humor, and elegiac rendering of life's inevitable compromises.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Inspiration and practical ideas for preserving democracy, countering political violence, and restoring institutional legitimacy, from the lead investigator into Charlottesville and January 6.In this essential guidebook, lead investigator into the racist riot in Charlottesville in 2017 and the January 6 insurrection Tim Heaphy outlines the constructive action we all can take to combat this frightening period of heightened tensions, accusations, and political violence in America.It was clear to Heaphy long before President Trump's election to a second term that the American political system was broken, and the government's inability to be responsive to the majority of voters on a range of issues would only get worse. Sharing sobering stories of the lawlessness and dysfunction he witnessed in his investigations into Charlottesville and January 6, Heaphy identifies structural barriers that stack the odds against our being able to return compromise and civility to American politics. And yet, the irony of this division is that it is inconsistent with the fact that Americans share so many fundamental priorities.Heaphy argues we can't rely on elected officials, individual heroes, the court system, or any other outside source to mend what's broken in America. There is no cavalry coming; we are the cavalry, and we must find ways to promote community over division with fellow citizens who do not necessarily share our politics.Balancing practical considerations with defiant hopefulness, Heaphy provides readers with a treatise for how we can empower ourselves and others to heal our communities.…
