Hardback. Zustand: Good. A brief, evocative memoir from one of India?s greatest writers. ?Like a dazzling feather that has fluttered down from some unknown place. . . . How long will the feather keep its colours, waiting? The ?feather? stands for memories of childhood. Memories don?t wait.?   In Our Sanitikentan, the late Mahasweta Devi, one of India?s most celebrated writers, vividly narrates her days as a schoolgirl in the 1930s. As the aging author struggles to recapture vignettes of her childhood, these reminiscences bring to the written page not only her individual sensibility but an entire ethos.   Santiniketan is home to the school and university founded by the foremost literary and cultural icon of India, Rabindranath Tagore. In these pages, a forgotten Santiniketan, seen through the innocent eyes of a young girl, comes to life?the place, its people, flora and fauna, along with its educational environment, culture of free creative expression, vision of harmonious coexistence between natural and human worlds, and the towering presence of Tagore himself. Alongside, we get a glimpse of the private Mahasweta?her inner life, family and associates, and the early experiences that shaped her personality.   A nostalgic journey to a bygone era, harking back to its simple yet profound values?so distant today and so urgent yet again?Our Santiniketan is an invaluable addition to Devi?s rich oeuvre available in English translation.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Hans Magnus Enzensberger, widely regarded as Germany's greatest living poet, was already well known in the 1960s, the tempestuous decade of which Tumult is an autobiographical record. Derived from old papers, notes, jottings, photos, and letters that the poet stumbled upon years later in his attic, the volume is not so much about the man, but rather the many places he visited and people whom he met on his travels through the Soviet Union and Cuba during the 1960s. The book is made up of four longform pieces written from 1963 to 1970, each episode concluding with a poem and postscript written in 2014. Tumult is based on Enzensberger's personal experience as a left-wing sympathizer during that tumultuous decade and focuses on political events and their participants. Translated by Mike Mitchell, the book is a lively and deftly written travelogue offering a glimpse into the history of leftist thought. Dedicated to "those who disappeared," Tumult is a document of that which remains one of humanity's headiest times. "Enzensberger is the most important postwar writer you have never read."

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. East Germany. The last days of the Wall. A man receives a startling call from his ex-wife, who?s in the hospital, awaiting a cancer diagnosis. His mind races as he suddenly realizes he must find out whether she was contaminated by fallout from the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Quickly returning to the city, he tries to reconstruct the events of a few days so many years ago, and he revisits and questions his own memories of working in the chilling ?cold centre??the air-conditioning plant for the East German Communist Party newspaper. Did she come in contact with a contaminated truck from the Ukraine? Was he a cog at the heart of the system, failing to prevent a tragic accident? Can he find out what happened before it?s too late? He soon begins to lose control over his days in Berlin, beginning a desperate search for orientation over a fracture in his own life?one he has never gotten over.Written in Inka Parei?s characteristically precise prose, The Cold Centre is a timely reminder of how we react to accidents?nuclear and otherwise?and a bleakly realistic description of East Berlin before the Wall fell. Its tight and dizzying structure keeps readers on the edge of their seats as the narrator tries to solve his mystery.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. GETING IT FOR LOVE IN OLD SAN JUAN is a personal journey of a twenty-year-old New York college student in the early '60s who, fearing a straight path through life, postpones his education to join the merchant marine for adventure and to prove himself in the real world. The story is alternately gripping and humorous, introspective and dramatic, as he relives his adventures and misadventures in the worst job in the merchant marine: wiper in the engine room of an old cargo ship converted to container service between New York, Florida and Puerto Rico. Encountering a mostly hostile crew, the young man gradually earns acceptance and respect by surviving the ordeals of the work, by his skill at poker, and through his sometimes comical sometimes dangerous interactions with the unusual and even threatening characters on the ship. He confronts both rational and irrational fears and engages in a star-crossed pursuit of women in his ports of call. In the course of the book, he describes his bizarre dealings with the union and the absurd catch-22 aimed at preventing him from getting a ship, as well as the conflicted state of his life before he gets one, and finally, the unimagined way his journey ends.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The poems of Ulrike Almut Sandig are at once simple and fantastic. This new collection finds her on her way to imaginary territories. Thick of It charts a journey through two hemispheres to "the center of the world" and navigates a "thicket" that is at once the world, the psyche, and language itself. The poems explore an urgently urban reality, but that reality is interwoven with references to nightmares, the Bible, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes--all overlaid with a finely tuned longing for a disappearing world. The old names are forgotten, identities fall away; things disappear from the kitchen; everything is sliding away. Powerful themes emerge, but always mapped onto the local, the fractured individual in "the thick of it" all. This is language at its most crafted and transformative, blisteringly contemporary, but with a kind of austerity, too. By turns comic, ironic, skeptical, nostalgic, these poems are also profoundly musical, exploiting multiple meanings and stretching syntax, so that the audience is constantly kept guessing, surprised by the next turn in the line. …
