This volume is the most comprehensive collection of his essays to appear in any language. ‘In art the surest way to destroy is to canonize one given form and one philosophy,’ Zamyatin...

(07/23/2010) Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu

The cover illustration shows a detail from a Chinese silk painting in the British Museum. 014044131x.   FROM THE PUBLISHER –   The LAO TZU, as it is usually called, is the principal classic in the thought of Taoism. Traditionally ascribed to one Lao Tzu, an older contemporary of Confucius, the work is more probably an anthology of wise sayings compiled in about the fourth century BC.

(07/21/2010) Satura: Poems by Eugenio Montale

Jacket design by Rodrigo Corral. 6/1/1998. 0393046478.   FROM THE PUBLISHER –   ‘Satura comprises a series of poignant and disturbing elegies for the self. Perhaps through T. S. Eliot's mediation, Montale in some of these poems seems to become an American modernist poet, and not just in William Arrowsmith's faithful and eloquent versions. One can read Satura as an elegy for Western Literary Modernism itself, for the passing of a great era.’ - Harold Bloom First published in Italy in 1971, Satura is the fourth collection of poems by the Nobel Prize winner Eugenio Montale (1896-1981). In Saruta, the poet experimented with dialogue,...

(07/19/2010) I'm Not Stiller by Max Frisch

 I'm Not Stiller by Max Frisch. New York. 1958. Abelard-Schuman. Translated From The German By Michael Bullock. keywords: Literature Translated Switzerland. 363 pages. Jacket design by Elizabeth Friedlander.   FROM THE PUBLISHER –   ‘Every word is false and true, that is the nature of words’ So how can we ever know for certain the identity of the man in the cell? He claims to be an American citizen named White but the police are unshakeable in their belief that he is Anatol Ludwig Stiller, the Swiss sculptor who vanished nearly a decade before. Despite the insistence of Stiller’s wife, brother and mistress, and in the face of every incentive to admit that he is Stiller, the man perseveres in his denial. Yet he betrays uncanny perceptions of...

(07/18/2010) Upside Down:A Primer For The Looking-Glass World by Eduardo Galeano

October 2000. 0805063757.   FROM THE PUBLISHER –   From the author of the incomparable MEMORY OF FIRE trilogy, winner of the 1989 American Book Award, a bitingly funny, kaleidoscope vision of the First World through the eyes of the Third Recipient of the first Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom, Eduardo Gateano combines a novelist’s intensity, a poet’s lyricism, a journalist’s fearlessness, and the strong judgments of an engaged historian. His classic Memory of Fire trilogy caught as never before the...

(07/17/2010) Electric Light by Seamus Heaney

 Electric Light by Seamus Heaney. New York. 2001. Farrar Straus Giroux. keywords: Poetry Ireland Literature.   FROM THE PUBLISHER –   Seamus Heaney's new collection travels widely in time and space, visiting the sites of the classical world and revisiting the poet's childhood: rural electrification and the light of ancient evenings are reconciled within the orbit of a single lifetime. This is a book about origins (not least, the origins of words) and oracles: the places where things start from, the ground of understanding -- whether in Arcadia or Anahorish, the sanctuary at Epidaurus or the Bann valley in County Derry. Electric Light ranges from short takes to conversation poems. The pre-Socratic wisdom that everything flows is held in tension with the elegizing of friends and fellow poets....

(07/16/2010) The History Of Danish Dreams by Peter Hoeg

 The History Of Danish Dreams by Peter Hoeg. New York. 1995. Farrar Straus Giroux. Translated From The Danish By Barbara Haveland. keywords: Literature Translated Denmark Scandinavia. 356 pages.

(07/15/2010) The Rider On The White Horse & Selected Stories by Theodor Storm

August 1964.   FROM THE PUBLISHER –   This unique collection offers for the first time in English a broad survey of the Novellen of Theodor Storm-a master of that literary genre. ‘The Novelle of today,’ Storm wrote in 1881, ‘like the drama. deals with the profoundest problems of human life.’ Throughout his life, he used this form in several different ways. His youthful Novellen. are suffused with an elegiac resignation on the vanished happiness of childhood. His...

(07/14/2010) The Annals Of Chile:Poems by Paul Muldoon

 The Annals Of Chile:Poems by Paul Muldoon. New York. 1994. Farrar Straus Giroux. keywords: Poetry Ireland. 189 pages. 0374105189.   FROM THE PUBLISHER –   The Annals of Chile, Paul Muldoon’s first book of new poetry since the acclaimed Madoc: A Mystery (1991), confirms the widely held view that he is the most talented poet of his generation. The heart of the book is the long poem ‘Yarrow,’ in which all Muldoon’s powers of insight and wordplay and surprising association are on exuberant display. Evoking the 1960s, the poet conjures up a boundless historical present peopled at once by Davy Crockett and Tristan Tzara and Wild Bill Hickok, by Maud Gonne and Michael Jackson, all brought swiftly and vividly to life by his fantastical imagination. The book...

(07/13/2010) The Gods,The Little Guys And The Police by Humberto Costantini

In this funny yet mordant satire of political terrorism in Argentina in the mid-1970s, a paramilitary death squad places the members of...

(07/12/2010) Red Cavalry by Isaac Babel

 Red Cavalry by Isaac Babel. New York. 1929. Knopf. Translated From The Russian By Nadia Helstein. keywords: Literature Russia Translated Jewish. 213 pages.   FROM THE PUBLISHER –   From the early Soviet period, the impassioned short fiction of the great Russian-Jewish writer. One of the most powerful short-story writers of the twentieth century, Isaac Babel expressed his sense of inner conflict through disturbing tales that explored the contradictions of Russian society. Whether reflecting on anti-Semitism in stories such as 'Story of My Dovecote' and 'First Love,' or depicting Jewish gangsters in his native Odessa, Babel's eye for the comical laid bare the ironies of history. His masterpiece, 'Red Cavalry,' set in the Soviet-Polish war, is one of the classics of modern fiction. By turns flamboyant and restrained,...

 Soccer In Sun & Shadow by Eduardo Galeano. New York. 1998. Verso. Translated From The Spanish by Mark Fried. keywords: Literature Uruguay Latin America Soccer History Translated. 228 pages. Cover graphics by Eduardo Galeano. Cover design by Uncle Bob. 1859848486.   FROM THE PUBLISHER –   In a sequence of elegiac and deliciously droll observations, the distinguished Latin American writer Eduardo Galeano here reflects on mortality and immortality in the world’s greatest game. Tragedy spins a continuous thread through these pages: We learn of Abdon Porte of the Uruguayan club Nacional who, after a disastrous run of bad form, was found dead in the center circle of the club stadium, revolver in hand; of Andres Escobar, the Colombian defender, whose own goal lost his country a game...
