Dinos knyga (Dina[1])
Вассму Хербьёрг
Herbjørg Wassmo (g. 1942) yra viena iš skaitomiausių autorių Norvegijoje. 1986 m. rašytoja apdovanota Šiaurės šalių tarybos premija. Jos kūriniai išversti į daugelį kalbų. Garsiausia iš jų - "Dinos knyga" - romanas apie išdavystę ir kaltę, gaivališką ir nepasotinamai juslingą moters prigimtį. Baisus sukrėtimas, patirtas ankstyvojoje vaikystėje, persekioja Diną visą gyvenimą, paveikia jos sąmonę. Rodos, šaltakraujiškai ji žaidžia aplinkinių žmonių gyvenimais. Tuo tarpu pačios likimą valdo griežti ir negailestingi Senojo Testamento dėsniai. H. Wassmo romanas – nepaprasto originalumo ir įtaigumo saga apie demonišką moterį, kurios nežabotos aistros ir noras viską valdyti neša pražūtį visiems ir jai pačiai. Veiksmas vyksta XIX a. Norvegijoje. "Dinos knyga" tęsinys - "Likimo sūnūs" ir "Karnos kraitis", kur pasakojama Dinos sūnaus Benjamino, savo akimis išvydusio baisų motinos kerštą, gyvenimo istorija.

Dvasios kalnas
Синцзянь Гао
Garsus kinų dramaturgas, kritikas, prozininkas ir dailininkas Gao Singdzianis (Gao Xingjian, g.1940) – pirmasis ir kol kas vienintelis kinas gavęs Nobelio premiją už literatūrą (2000). 1983 m. rašytojui buvo diagnozuotas vėlyvos stadijos plaučių vėžys. Tačiau po šešių savaičių atlikus pakartotinus tyrimus ši diagnozė buvo atšaukta. „Mirties nuosprendžio vykdymo“ atidėjimas, represyvi kultūrinė bei politinė aplinka ir nuolat juntama grėsmė atsidurti priverstinio darbo stovykloje paskatino G. Singdzianį pabėgti iš Pekino ir pradėti neįtikėtiną 15 000 kilometrų odisėją per nuošalius kalnus ir senovę menančius Sičuanio miškus pietvakarių Kinijoje. Ši epinė, atradimų kupina kelionė, papasakota talentingo menininko, virto pasaulinę šlovę pelniusiu romanu „Dvasios kalnas“. „Dvasios kalnas“ – drąsus, lyriškas, magiškas ir labai savitas kūrinys. G. Singdzianis su neįprastu atvirumu, šmaikštumu ir susižavėjimu tyrinėja sudėtingus žmonių santykius, mėgina įminti „Aš ir Tu“ „Aš ir Kiti“ ryšių mįslę, duodamas visišką laisvę vaizduotei ir išplėsdamas individualumo suvokimo ribas, kelia klausimą: ar išsaugojęs dvasinę nepriklausomybę, bet netekęs galimybės bendrauti su panašiais į save individas nebus pasmerktas Himalajų Ječio egzistencijai? Švedijos Nobelio premijos komitetas „Dvasios kalną“ pavadino „vienu iš ypatingųjų literatūros kūrinių, kurių nėra su kuo palyginti, nebent su jais pačiais.“ Iš šiuolaikinės kinų kalbos vertė Agnė Biliūnaitė. |
Early Autumn: A Story of a Lady
Бромфилд Луис
Bromfield takes a close look at the Pentlands - a fictional rich family in New England - exposing the hypocrisy and ignorance behind their luxurious facade. Bromfield's eloquence when describing both his characters and their surroundings is breathtaking, and his accuracy in describing the characters' complicated emotions makes it apparent that he knows human nature very well. A fascinating study on the struggle of one woman to escape the stifling influence of her husband and in-laws.

Estación. Ida y vuelta
Chacel Rosa
Estación… muestra ya en todo su esplendor las más brillantes facetas del talento de Rosa Chacel: la capacidad de reflexión -muy orteguiana también- sobre conceptos o actitudes (véase por ejemplo el hermoso párrafo que empieza: `Es cobarde temer las sorpresas`), y la emoción y belleza en las descripciones de objetos y paisajes cotidianos: un patio, el silencio, los abrigos…

Going All the Way: A Novel
Wakefield Dan
Two friends return home from the Korean War to find their world—and themselves—irrevocably altered in this novel hailed by Kurt Vonnegut as “gruesomely accurate and enchanting” and “wildly sexy”. Willard “Sonny” Burns and Tom “Gunner” Casselman, Korean War vets and former classmates, reunite on the train ride home to Indianapolis. Despite their shared history, the two young men could not be more different: Sonny had been an introverted, bookish student, whereas Gunner had been the consummate Casanova and athlete—and a popular source of macho pride throughout the high school. Reunited by the pains of war, they go in search of finding love, rebuilding their lives, and shedding the repressive expectations of their families. As Sonny and Gunner seek their true passions, the stage is set for a wounded, gripping account of disillusionment and self-discovery as seen through the lens of the conservative Midwest in the summer of 1954. Rendered in honest prose, national bestseller Going All the Way expertly and astutely captures the joys and struggles of working-class Middle America, and the risks of challenging the status quo. Author Dan Wakefield crafts this enduring coming-of-age tale with fluidity, grace, and deep humanity. |
Goldstream: правдивый роман о мире очень больших денег
Вестенра Евгения
Клая, главная героиня книги, — девушка образованная, эрудированная, с отличным чувством стиля и с большим чувством юмора. Знает толк в интересных людях, больших деньгах, хороших вещах, культовых местах и событиях. С ней вы проникнете в тайный мир русских «дорогих» клиентов. Клая одинаково легко и непринужденно рассказывает, как проходят самые громкие тусовки на Куршевеле и в Монте-Карло, как протекают «тяжелые» будни олигархов и о том, почему меняется курс доллара, не забывает о любви и простых человеческих радостях. Легкая ирония, с которой Клая повествует о перипетиях своих подруг, только оттеняет реальный юмор жизненных ситуаций. |
Good-bye, Mr Chips
Хилтон Джеймс
Mr. Hilton's classic story of an English schoolmaster. Mr. Chipping, the classics master at Brookfield School since 1870, takes readers on a beguiling journey through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sometimes Chips, as he is affectionately known, is an old man who dreams by the fire; then he's a difficult young taskmaster schooling his students, or a middle-aged man encountering the lovely Katherine, whose "new woman" opinions work far-reaching changes in him. As succeeding generations of boys march onward through Chips' mind, Hilton's narrative remains masterful. He seamlessly interweaves a poignant love story with the jokes and eccentricities of English public school life, while also chronicling a new, uncertain world full of conflict and upheaval that extends far beyond the turrets of Brookfield. |
Gulliver’s Travels
Свифт Джонатан
“I felt something alive moving on my left leg … when bending my Eyes downwards as much as I could. I perceived it to be a human Creature not six inches high.” Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters—with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and the brutish Yahoos—give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift’s savage satire view mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves. This text, based on the first edition of 1726, reproduces all its original illustrations and includes an introduction by Robert Demaria, Jr, which discusses the ways Gulliver’s Travels has been interpreted since its first publication. |

Home Free
Wakefield Dan
When his foxy professor/girlfriend kicks him out of her apartment, perennial college student Gene Barrett sets off on a road trip in search of a place he can call home. He ventures from Boston to Maine to Iowa City, ultimately making his way to the “last resort” of California’s Venice Beach. Experimenting with LSD, hash, and heroin, and encountering rock stars, draft dodgers, and natural food store proprietors living off the land, Gene zigzags through a cross-section of 1960s American counterculture. More than a freewheeling jaunt through the sixties, though,Home Freesheds light on the universal desire for love and belonging. Amidst the haze of drugs and free-loving hippies, Gene is forced to look inward and face his deeply human flaws—because eventually, his life will depend on it. With national bestselling author Dan Wakefield’s trademark fusion of gritty, journalistic prose and richly evocative language, Gene’s story is an engaging, somber meditation on self-awareness, responsibility, and growing up. |

I biscotti di Baudelaire
Токлас Алиса Бабетт
Con il loro salotto artistico e letterario - che negli anni tra le due guerre era frequentato, tra gli altri, da Picasso, Picabia, Matisse, Braque, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Sherwood Anderson - Alice B. Toklas e Gertrude Stein hanno fatto un pezzo di storia. Ma quando, dopo la morte di Gertrude, un editore chiese ad Alice di scrivere le sue memorie, lei si schermì dicendo che al massimo sarebbe stata in grado di scrivere un libro di cucina. Lui promise di accontentarsi, ma lei fece molto di più. Uscito nel 1954 in America con il titolo "The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook", "I biscotti di Baudelaire" è una ricchissima raccolta di ricette e di ricordi non solo culinari, di aneddoti divertenti, di convinte opinioni su questioni gastronomiche ma anche artistiche, di viaggi tra Francia e America, di pranzi e cene a casa di artisti bohémien ma anche di ricchi e famosi. Un libro che si legge non solo per consultare le ricette e catturare i sapori amati da artisti e scrittori, ma soprattutto per rivivere l'atmosfera di un tempo e di un ambiente davvero speciali. E così ecco i piatti, le idee, gli spunti di ricette che Alice condivideva con gli amici: il branzino di Picasso, per esempio, decorato con uova sode, tartufi ed erbe tritate, le uova alla Francis Picabia, le mele glassate di Cecil Beaton, la crema di Josephine Baker, la minestra di alloro di Dora Maar, il caffé di James Joyce e quegli incredibili biscotti di Baudelaire... |
I Hotel
Yamashita Karen Tei
Dazzling and ambitious, this hip, multi-voiced fusion of prose, playwriting, graphic art, and philosophy spins an epic tale of America’s struggle for civil rights as it played out in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Divided into ten novellas, one for each year, I Hotel begins in 1968, when Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated, students took to the streets, the Vietnam War raged, and cities burned.As Karen Yamashita’s motley cast of students, laborers, artists, revolutionaries, and provocateurs make their way through the history of the day, they become caught in a riptide of politics and passion, clashing ideologies and personal turmoil. And by the time the survivors unite to save the International Hotel—epicenter of the Yellow Power Movement—their stories have come to define the very heart of the American experience.
