A Sand Book - Ariana Reines - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A Sand Book - Ariana Reines - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Deadpan, epic, and searingly charismatic, A Sand Book is at once relatable and out-of-this-world. In poems tracking climate change, bystanderism, state murder, sexual trauma, shopping, ghosting, love, and the transcendent shock of prophecy, A Sand Book chronicles new dimensions of consciousness for our strange and desperate times.What does the destruction of our soil have to do with the weather in the human soul? From sand in the gizzards of birds to the iridescence on the surface of spilt oil, from sand storms on Mars to our internet-addicted present, from the desertifying mountains of Haiti to natural disasters and state violence, A Sand Book is both a travelogue and a book of mourning.

Sand - Einat Yakir - Bog - Restless Books - Plusbog.dk

Sand - Einat Yakir - Bog - Restless Books - Plusbog.dk

The riveting English-language debut from celebrated Israeli author Einat Yakir, Sand tells the story of a family fleeing from a comfortless past into a promising present, but failing to strike roots in a ground that’s mostly made of sand. In clear and uncompromising prose, Sand dives in and out of the alternating viewpoints of a family who just arrived in Tel Aviv: a mother who rebuilds a business of coffee ground fortune telling, a son who backslides into petty crime, a daughter who pivots between the carelessness of childhood and the allures of being seen as a woman, and a man who takes on the role of a father for strangers in the street but never for his own children. Sharing only the space of that new, sand-dusted apartment on a bustling street, the family members lead lives that, while parallel, never fully intersect. Their communication is one of closed doors, of hung-up phone calls, and of a mother’s crumbling hope to escape the undercurrent of violence that made life in Ashdod impossible. Brusque and honest, Sand eddies around the greatest mystery of human interaction: the unknowability of another person’s mind. Its narration hovers on the edge of action, stares at the sleight of hand while the magic happens somewhere else. Pulling the reader into a maelstrom of a family’s inexplicable bad luck, it reflects life more honestly than most books: not knowing the reason for other people’s actions, they often seem cruel.

The Sand House - Peter Tuffrey - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Sand House - Peter Tuffrey - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The majority of South Yorkshire''s twenty-first century residents are oblivious to the unique and fascinating Sand House that graced Doncaster from the mid-1850s until the Second World War. It was created by excavating the ground from around a massive block of sandstone and then hollowing out rooms within, in order to create a 40-metre-long, 12-metre-wide residence equipped with all the mod cons that a wealthy Victorian businessman would want. And yet there is nothing to be seen now of this incredible Sand House. The two authors show how the idea for the Sand House arose from its creators'' combined business interests of property development and sand extraction. From its modest beginnings as a two-up-two-down dwelling, it grew to become a ten-roomed mansion, complete with stable and ballroom. Not only dances but other major social events took place in the house and its ''sunken garden''; guests were allowed to explore the property''s extensive tunnels and admire the abundance of carvings hewn from the sandstone within. The Sand House''s sad demise in the mid-twentieth century means that this marvellous creation is no longer available for visitors to admire, but its story lives on through the pages of this book.

The Last Love of George Sand - Evelyne Bloch Dano - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Last Love of George Sand - Evelyne Bloch Dano - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

George Sand is one the most celebrated writers and controversial personalities of nineteenth-century France; she is as famous for her bohemian lifestyle as for her written work. The Last Love of George Sand portrays the writer, political activist, and cultural figure as she starts a new chapter in her ever-surprising life: the mature years with her last lover, the young and talented engraver Alexandre Manceau. A turning point came for George Sand in 1849. After her political involvement in the revolution of 1848, Sand retreated to her country property, Nohant, with her son Maurice and started writing new plays. One day, Maurice introduced her to Alexandre Manceau, a young and shy artist thirteen years her junior. At forty-five, she was at the pinnacle of her career. She had a long history of tumultuous love affairs with famous artists such as Musset, Chopin, and Mérimée, but she had never experienced a peaceful and balanced relationship. With Manceau, Sand discovered that she could be loved, and fall in love herself, without drama. Their relationship would last fifteen years, and prove to be the most prolific period of Sand''s life, with fifty books published including the novels Elle et lui , inspired by her relationship with Musset, and Le dernier amour , written just ten days after Manceau died of tuberculosis. Although much has been written about George Sand, most of the previous biographies are focused on her more turbulent times. In The Last Love of George Sand , Evelyne Bloch-Dano looks back on Sand''s life from the vantage point of her years with Manceau.

A new one has been forged atop the shifting dunes, a land of howling wind and infernal sand. In this barren home, siblings Conner, Rob, Palmer and Violet daily carve out a future. They live in the shadow of their father and oldest sister, Vic, two of the greatest sand divers ever to comb the desert’s depths. But these branches of their family tree are long gone, disappeared into the wastes beyond, leaving the younger siblings scratching in the dust, hopeful for a better life. On the other side of No Man’s Land, Anya was born beside the abundant mines knowing her prospects would be to marry, have a family, and work in ore, in service to the Empire of the East. But when an atomic bomb delivered by a stranger destroys most of her town—murdering all her friends and community—she follows her father to a strange land of dunes to bring vengeance to their enemies. Two families collide across the sand, and nothing for a thousand dunes will ever be the same.

George Sand and Autobiography - J.a. Hiddleston - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

George Sand and Autobiography - J.a. Hiddleston - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book discusses George Sand''s autobiography "Histoire de ma Vie" from a variety of perspectives - thematic, structural and stylistic - and examines the often contradictory images of the author/narrator that emerge, in particular, from Sand''s confused and ambivalent attitude to her gender. At each point, Sand''s intriguing work is placed in the context of modern autobiographical and feminist theory, and measured against the conventions of traditional male autobiography. What emerges is a hybrid, androgynous text that combines different modes and voices, giving a unique access to the person of the author herself, both as she wished to appear and as she appears in spite of herself.

Skyggebiblioteket - Karsten Sand Iversen - Bog - Batzer & Co - Plusbog.dk

Skyggebiblioteket - Karsten Sand Iversen - Bog - Batzer & Co - Plusbog.dk

Karsten Sand Iversen er først og fremmest kendt som oversætter af bl.a. Elias Canetti, Robert Musil, William Faulkner, Olof Lagercrantz og Sara Lidman, men også hans klumme Skyggebiblioteket i Litteraturmagasinet Standart har mange taknemmelige læsere. Ligesom arkæologerne finder skatte på marken der hvor de store maskiner har høstet, har Karsten Sand Iversen gennem Skyggebiblioteket gået på opdagelse i verdenslitteraturen og kastet lys over forfattere og værker som de færreste har hørt om, end sige læst. Forfatterskaber som af sproglige eller politiske grunde, men sjældent af æstetiske, ikke har funder vejen til Danmark. Siden 1995 er det således lykkedes Karsten Sand Iversen at gøre opmærksom på en række ukendte forfatterskaber af høj kvalitet, bl.a. den franske romanforfatter Emmanuel Bove, som siden hen også danske læsere har fået glæde af. I den foreliggende samling litteraturhistorier er det imidlertid Europas mørke hjerter der opsøges: øst- og centraleuropæiske forfattere og som alle berørtes af det 20. århundredes store katastrofer. Flertallet af de behandlede forfattere, hvoraf mange naturlig nok er jøder, er hverken oversat til dansk eller kendt af andre end en inderkreds af specialister. De to store undtagelser er polakken Bruno Schulz, hvis fortællinger Kanelbutikkerne findes på dansk, og sloveneren Ivan Cankar som kendes fra romanen En mand og hans ret. Med Skyggebiblioteket rokker Karsten Sand Iversen ved den etablerede litteraturhistories verdensbillede, ligesom han nærer et forfængeligt håb om at pirke til vaner eller fordomme hos såvel forlæggere som læsere ved at vise at verden er stor og mangfoldig, at vi kunne berige vores litteratur og vores liv hvis vi forsøgsvis vendte blikket i nye retninger. Inspireret af Italo Calvinos ord har Sand Iversen så at sige samlet et spændende, forunderligt og læseværdigt bibliotek af de 'apokryfe', de 'skjulte' bøger.Man kan læse Skyggebiblioteket som det første bind i en alternativ litteraturhistorie. Når Sand Iversen har valgt genrebetegnelsen Litteraturhistorier skyldes det at artiklerne nok delvis er litteraturhistoriske, men tillige former sig som fortællinger fra litteraturen og historien. Alle historier i bogen er omarbejdede, udvidede og nyskrevne med henblik på bogudgivelse.
