    In these short stories, Sindbad, a voyager in the realms of memory and imagination, travels through the centuries in pursuit of an ideal love that is directed as much at the feminine essence as at his individual lovers. This text is an erotic elegy to the dying Habsburg empire.

    Involvement in the Zionist movement takes Hannah from her Jewish village in Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia to a commune in a nearby town, where she falls in love with Ivo Karajich: a Jew, yet not a Jew. The ensuing drama plants into her eyes the hard grain of sorrow that her children will also inherit.

  • af Friedebert Tuglas
    173,95 kr.

    Features nine stories, and an essay, which were written during the World War One, or in the first years of Estonian independence in the early 1920s. They reflect the troubled spirit of the times, but exhibit the influence of a wide selection of writers, ranging from O Wilde and M Gorky, to F Nietzsche and Edgar Allan Poe.

  • af Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz
    173,95 kr.

    Iwaszkiewicz's work is familiar to every Polish reader, yet remains unknown to the outside world. These stories were all written in the 1930s, and provide an extraordinary evocation of Poland's first brief era of independence between the wars. They are also timeless sonatas of love and loss.

  • af Jan Neruda
    169,95 kr.

    This is a collection of Jan Neruda's intimate, wry, bittersweet stories of life among the inhabitants of the Little Quarter of nineteenth-century Prague. These finely tuned and varied vignettes established Neruda as the quintessential Czech nineteenth-century realist, the Charles Dickens of a Prague becoming ever more aware of itself as a Czech rather than an Austrian city. Prague Tales is a classic by a writer whose influence has been acknowledged by generations of Czech writers, including Ivan Klma, who contributes an introduction to this new translation.

  • af Biljana Jovanovic
    169,95 kr.

    In Avala Is Falling, Jovanovic's breakout success in 1978, a young woman challenges the expectations that teachers, parents, bus drivers, and doctors have for her. The "e;Avala"e; of the title refers to a mountain south of Belgrade which is home to some of Serbia's most important nationalist monuments and shrines; it is also the site of the main mental hospital for the region, and its "e;falling"e; is the unexpected fulfillment of a prophecy from a traditional Serbian folk song. Jovanovic's use of stream of consciousness in her characters' thinking and speaking, as well as of intertextuality in description and plot advancement heralded the arrival of an innovative new writer who was determined to break with the of traditional concerns of earlier women writers. This book is now recognized as much more than "e;jeans prose,"e; although the fame the book achieved under that characterization eventually pushed it to cult status. JovanoviA is now considered a major avant-garde writer, whose stylistic innovations were as challenging as her women-centered themes.
