The Periodic Table - Primo Levi - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Periodic Table - Primo Levi - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Primo Levi''s The Periodic Table is a collection of short stories that elegantly interlace the author''s experiences in Fascist Italy, and later in Auschwitz, with his passion for scientific knowledge and discovery. This Penguin Modern Classics edition of is translated by Raymond Rosenthal with an essay on Primo Levi by Philip Roth.A chemist by training, Primo Levi became one of the supreme witnesses to twentieth-century atrocity. In these haunting reflections inspired by the elements of the periodic table, he ranges from young love to political savagery; from the inert gas argon - and ''inert'' relatives like the uncle who stayed in bed for twenty-two years - to life-giving carbon. ''Iron'' honours the mountain-climbing resistance hero who put iron in Levi''s student soul, ''Cerium'' recalls the improvised cigarette lighters which saved his life in Auschwitz, while ''Vanadium'' describes an eerie post-war correspondence with the man who had been his ''boss'' there. In his essay, Philip Roth reproduces a conversation with Primo Levi, delving into the process of Levi''s authorial technique, his sense of identity and distinctiveness and the relationship between science, writing and survival.Primo Levi (1919-87), an Italian Jew, did not come to the wide attention of the English-reading audience until the last years of his life. A survivor of the Holocaust and imprisonment in Auschwitz, Levi is considered to be one of the century''s most compelling voices, and The Periodic Table is his most famous book. Levi is the author of Moments of Reprieve and If Not Now, When? , also available in Penguin Modern Classics.Philip Roth is the author of Nemesis and The Plot Against America , and winner of the both the Pulitzer prize, and the Man Booker International prize. If you enjoyed The Periodic Table , you might like Levi''s If Not Now, When? , also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''A book it is necessary to read''Saul Bellow, author of Herzog ''One of the finest writers in post-war Italy'' The Times

Gutshot Straight - Lou Berney - Bog - HarperCollins Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

“Lou Berney’s novel is so energetic, so droll, and so wheezingly funny that it accomplished what no book ever has before: it made me forget to eat lunch.”—Stephen Harrigan, New York Times bestselling author of Challenger Park A fast and funny caper in the tradition of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and the Coen Brothers, Gutshot Straight brings a fresh new talent into the crime fiction fold: Louis Berney. He’s already won raves for his short fiction collection The Road to Bobby Joe and Other Stories (“Rivals the work of contemporary hotshots T.C. Boyle and Ralph Lombreglia” — Chicago Tribune ). With Gutshot Straight, Berney is “all in”—sure to win a fervent following with the story of “Shake” Bouchon, fresh out of prison and on the straight and narrow path…after maybe just one last job.

In this interview, Levi talks about the origins of her artistic intention, the place she has conquered in the art world, and her visual language that gradually evolves like a quest for freedom. On Words is a collection of interviews with contemporary women artists. In conversation with Julie Enckell Julliard, Federica Martini, and Sarah Burkhalter, they speak about the sources from which they draw inspiration, themes in their work, and their view of the world.

Kentucky Straight - Offutt - Bog - Random House USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

Kentucky Straight - Offutt - Bog - Random House USA Inc - Plusbog.dk

Kentucky straight is bourbon with no mixer. Kentucky Straight is Kentucky seen without nostalgic gloss. These riveting, often heartbreaking stories, take us through country that is unmapped. They are set in a nameless Appalachian community too small to be called a town, a place where wanting an education is a mark of ungodly arrogance and dowsing for water a legitimate occupation; where hunting is not a sport but a means of survival. These are stories of coal miners and backwoods medicine men, of gamblers and marijuana farmers, tales of real tragedy and unutterable strangeness that convey their sense of place so vividly that we feel its ground rise beneath our feet. Offutt has received a James Michener Grant and a Kentucky Arts Council Award.
