Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Bold, beautiful and spiky, Angela Readman's stories are both magical and real. Following her acclaimed debut Don't Try This at Home, in this new collection, she approaches the fairy tale with a scalpel. The Girls are Pretty Crocodiles reads like a love letter to girlhood and a ransom note to all the fairy tales we have been told. In her prize-winning work 'The Story Never Told', an illiterate woman sells fairy tales for a book she knows will never have her name on the cover. In 'What's Inside a Girl', a class takes lessons on dating invisible girls.Dark, funny and surreal, these stories explore, challenge and ultimately transform the traditional fairy tale narrative. Women learn to be origami, climb into swan skins, feed wolves, flip burgers and snog kelpies. In dazzling prose that remains matter-of-fact, these tales take to task the happy endings we have been sold.Otherworldly, yet down to earth, The Girls are Pretty Crocodiles discovers the hidden voice in the stories we know and reveals the magic of working-class lives. These stories have teeth.'Angela Readman's stories have a compelling intimacy and gorgeous imagery, and are often deeply moving - highly recommended reading.' Alison Moore, author of Booker-shortlisted The Lighthouse'Angela Readman's subtly dark stories rip the covers from the everyday. She turns its innocents and introverts inside-out before us, meanwhile exposing secret rituals and Chinese-whispery legends from all our suffocating and self-contained neighbourhoods. Throughout this new collection, the other Angela - Carter - hangs on Readman's shoulder as she creates an eerie new folklore for fraught times. These are the stories we always knew existed but were never brave enough to tell, even to ourselves.' Ashley Stokes, author of Gigantic, Unsung Stories, 2021'A poetic recontextualising of fairy tales and folklore, The Girls Are Pretty Crocodiles manages to be both playful and dangerous, often in the same sentence. Readman deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Kirsty Logan and Marina Warner, as one of the natural successors to Angela Carter.' Dan Coxon, author of Only The Broken Remain and editor of This Dreaming Isle.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Some stories will do anything to get your attention.In this thrilling and unflinching debut collection, an eclectic group of characters struggle with the lure of the limelight.A teenager escapes school gossip to hang out with a dead Tudor queen; a reality show applicant has a bitter axe to grind; a spiralling woman weaponises her cat's internet fame to keep track of her ex; a guest has a mute meltdown while reluctantly attending a silent retreat.Attention Seekers is a tour-de-force of dark humour and social commentary, deconstructing what it means to take up space and be seen - and at what cost.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Re-evaluating the legacy of the youngest Brontë sister, on the 200th anniversary of her birth. Includes an up-to-date biography, contemporary writing about Anne and her family, and a previously-unpublished essay thought to be the last thing she wrote. 2020 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Anne Brontë, the youngest of the famed Brontë sisters. Only now is she gaining recognition as a great writer in her own right, with her novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall deservedly standing alongside those of Charlotte and Emily Brontë. Crave the Rose takes a fresh look at Anne, revealing a woman whose work was more radical than that of her sisters, and which is therefore as relevant today as it has ever been. Alongside a biography of Anne's remarkable, but tragically short, life, this book contains a comprehensive selection of first-person encounters with the Brontës from 19th-century newspapers and archives, giving a fresh insight into the real character of Anne and her family. Also contained exclusively within this landmark book is a newly-discovered essay by Anne Brontë - what may well be the last words that she ever wrote, in print here for the first time.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - One of the great 'undiscovered' post-war British poets, Nigel Gerrans' sixty-year creative journey was marked by personal reflection, piercing observation and eclectic spirituality. This generous selection, made in 2014 by the author's long-time friend and collaborator Felix Hodcroft, offers readers new and old the best possible overview of this remarkable body of work. From the call to action of 'Night Express' to the modern-day tragedy of 'Patient X', from the small triumphs of 'At Her Own Pace' to the biting satire of the previously-unpublished 'Ballad of Ted and Joan', Gerrans meets the world's gaze squarely, never failing to ask the 'necessary question' or skilfully articulate its answer. Finally, and in full, there is 'Song Sequence', a unique blend of passion and philosophy that has been a lifetime in the making; arguably the poet's crowning achievement. It Is I Who Speak is a book filled with energy; a fascinating and vital record of a wonderful writer; a collection of poems that will not fail to move and astonish all those who engage with them. 'Energetic and image-laden . this is a vivid and engaging collection of poems that deserve to live long in the memory.'- Poetry Book Society Bulletin.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Not far away, outside a lighted house.'The final collection in Ralph Dartford's 'Recovery Trilogy' sees the poet meditating on the tragic death of his beloved brother, Joseph, and how he lived in the mythical house of England: a nation of waving flags seen through soft focus sunlight. Here are his people, their misfitting tales that scratch and count the bricks of a private island imprisoned within its own walls, rituals and loneliness.Warm and lyrical, visceral in its fury, but finally resolute in its ceaseless quest for love and tenderness, this concluding collection dances the demand for better days - that we all must have the opportunity to recover and sing together. Whatever the cost to the crumbling mortar of old Albion.…

Condición: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 800 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | A meticulous, loving tribute to the language, structure and themes of the Brontës¿ own works, as de la Motte at times weaves the very words of their correspondence, novels and poems seamlessly into his lively narrative. Oblivion traces Branwell¿s meandering journey across the north of England, from the Fells of the Lake District to the ocean cliffs of Scarborough, from the smoky streets of industrial Halifax to the windswept moors above Haworth, encountering such notables as Hartley Coleridge and Franz Liszt. Through him we meet poets, sculptors, booksellers, prostitutes, publicans, railway workers, farmers, manufacturers and clergymen; through his experiences we contemplate the ineffable but fleeting ecstasy of sex, the existence of God, the effects of drugs and alcohol and the nature of addiction itself, the desire for fame, and the bitter resentment of artists and intellectuals who feel unappreciated by an increasingly materialistic, mechanised society. This sprawling story is a moving, thought-provoking page-turner that seeks not only to understand the roots of Branwell Brontë¿s tragic end but also to unearth the striking similarities of character between him and his now-famous sisters.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - One evening, in December 1931, nine-year-old Eva waits at the window for her father, Arthur, to return from work. Little does she know that this will be the beginning of a decade-long-vigil - or that her mother and sister hold the secret to his absence.Twenty years earlier, a younger Arthur is haunted by his family's emigration to Canada. Seeking a secure future, he marries in haste, only for conscription to tear him away from his new family. Later, after the war, he faces a new battle; against the pressures of work, society and respectability.Finally, in 1941, on the verge of adulthood, Eva must face up to her family's complex legacy and seek the truth behind her father's disappearance. Her coming-of-age quest is set against the backdrop of another war, in a blitz-ravaged London, and the chance for a marriage of her own - or to break the cycle and choose a different path.Based on a true story, The Life We Make is a tale that spans three decades and two generations. Filled with vivid period detail, complex characters and ever-evolving relationships, it is, at heart, a thoughtful examination of the misunderstandings that can drive a family apart - and the love that may, eventually, pull it back together.…
