Zundel'S Exit

de Markus Werner

17,89€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div>Scrounged from his notebooks and hearsay, this is the story of a schoolteacher named Konrad Zündel: a philosopher, a wanna-be writer; scattered, self-conscious, glum, anxious, unlucky, discontent . . . At the end of his rope, he decides to flee his workaday life at all costs, only to find escape always a little beyond his reach. First his tooth falls out in the sight of other travelers, then he finds a severed finger in a restroom on a train. In fact, Zündel seems on the verge of falling to bits, as do his words, thoughts, wife, and world—will there be anything left, and anyone to hold the pieces? <I>Zündel''s Exit</I> is a Chaplinesque comedy of disintegration, never knowing if it''s coming or going.</div>

Whole Of Life

de Jarg Laederach

19,88€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div><p><I>"I can assure you that no movie will ever achieve the speed of prose. Human beings just haven''t realized that yet."</I> —Jürg Laederach. With tongue resolutely in cheek, saxophonist, critic, poet, and one-time enfant terrible of Swiss literature Jürg Laederach here pursues the ambition of forcing all of human existence into a single novel. <I>The Whole of Life</I> tells the story of a man, Robert "Bob" Hecht, in three sections: "Job" about work and looking for work; "Wife" about sex during a bout of impotence; and "Totems and Taboos," in which Bob himself ruminates on the limitlessness of human limitation. In <I>Life</I>, space is compressed to the suffocating dimensions of a single mind, while single moments are expanded cubistically into entire landscapes. Bodies are vivisected and reassembled, and language is invaded, exploded, and reassembled. <I>The Whole of Life</I> sees Laederach composing a novel by taking it apart as he goes.</p></div>

Shadow Of Memory

de Bernard Comment

18,55€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div>In this eerie, compelling, and playful novel, a young man tormented by his feeble memory meets an elderly man, Robert, endowed with the recall of an elephant. Soon, in exchange for becoming his live-in servant, Robert agrees to allow his young protégé to inherit his prodigious memory upon his death. While this might seem a fair if absurd exchange, Robert''s demands become progressively more macabre, until the narrator is forced to decide what he is truly willing to sacrifice for the ability to remember. The debut novel of Bernard Comment, acclaimed author and editor, now available in English for the first time, <I>The Shadow of Memory</I> brings a fairy-tale premise into the modern world, where information—and its loss—can be a matter of life and death.</div>
