Taschenbuch. Zustand: 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. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A major work by one of the great public intellectuals of the twentieth century, The Question of Palestine was the first book to narrate the modern Palestinian experience in English. Edward Said's project to 'bring Palestine into history' was unquestionably a success - there is no longer a ques…tion of whether Palestine had a history before colonization - and yet Palestinian self-determination is as distant as ever. With the rigorous scholarship he brought to his influential Orientalism and shaped by his own life in exile in New York, Said's account of the traumatic national encounter of the Palestinian people with Zionism is still as pertinent and incisive today as it was on first publication in 1979. 320 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A genre-bending and thought-provoking examination of capitalism and cancer - and recent Brazilian history - based on the author's interviews with his truck driver father.In What Is Mine, sociologist José Henrique Bortoluci uses interviews with his father, Didi, to retrace the recent history o…f Brazil and of his family. From the mid-1960s to the mid-2010s, Didi's work as a truck driver took him away from home for long stretches at a time as he crisscrossed the country and participated in huge infrastructure projects including the Trans-Amazonian Highway, a scheme spearheaded by the military dictatorship of the time, undertaken through brutal deforestation. An observer of history, Didi also recounts the toll his work has taken on his health, from a heart attack in middle age to the cancer that defines his retirement. Bortoluci weaves the history of a nation with that of a man, uncovering parallels between cancer and capitalism - both sustained by expansion, both embodiments of 'the gospel of growth at any cost' - and tracing the distance that class has placed between him and his father. Influenced by authors such as Annie Ernaux and Svetlana Alexievich, is a moving, thought-provoking and brilliantly constructed examination of the scars we carry, as people and as countries.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: 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, sh…e clings to life with fierce, primal desperation. In depicting her mother's refusal to 'go gentle' while her autonomy and dignity are taken from her, Simone de Beauvoir 'shows the power of compassion when it is allied with acute intelligence' (Sunday Telegraph). Powerful, touching and sometimes shocking, this is an end-of-life account that no reader is likely to forget.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In November 2019, Paul B. Preciado was invited to speak in front of 3,500 psychoanalysts at the École de la Cause Freudienne's annual conference in Paris. Standing up in front of the profession for whom he is a 'mentally ill person' suffering from 'gender dysphoria', Preciado draws inspiratio…n in his lecture from Kafka's 'A Report to an Academy', in which a monkey tells an assembly of scientists that human subjectivity is a cage comparable to one made of metal bars. Demonstrating the discipline's complicity with the ideology of sex, gender and sexual difference dating back to the colonial era, Preciado was heckled and booed and unable to finish. The lecture, filmed on smartphones, ended up published online, where fragments were transcribed, translated and published with no regard for exactitude. Eighteen months on, Can the Monster Speak is published in a definitive translation for the first time.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From one of the most lauded artists of his generation comes a purging soliloquy: a profound nowt delivered in some spent afterwards. Scorched by senility and nostalgia, and wracked by all kinds of hunger, Ed Atkins' Old Food lurches from allegory to listicle, from lyric to menu, fetching up a… plummeting, idiomatic and crabbed tableau from the cannibalised remains of each form in turn. Written in conjunction with Atkins' exhibition of the same name, Old Food is a hard Brexit, wadded with historicity, melancholy and a bravura kind of stupidity. Ed Atkins is an artist who makes all kinds of convolutions of self-portraiture. He writes uncomfortably intimate, debunked prophesies; paints travesties; and makes realistic computer generated videos that often feature figures that resemble the artist in the throes of unaccountable psychical crises. Atkins' artificial realism, whether written or animated, pastiches romanticism to get rendered down to a sentimental blubber - all the better to model those bleak feelings often so inexpressible in real life.
