Wolfgang Koeppen is the most important German novelist of the past seventy years: a radical, not to say terrifying, stylist; a caustic, jet-black comedian; a bitter prophet. His late, autobiographical work--the short, intense autofiction, Youth, translated here for the first time--is a portrait of the little north German town of Greifswald before World War I, and is a miracle of compression: this is not historical fiction, but a kind of personal apocalypse. Also included here, in Michael Hofmann's brilliant translation, is one of Koeppen's very last works: a short, fragmentary text spoken over a 1990 German television program depicting his return visit to the town of his schooldays.

Автор: Jacoby Sarah Название: Love and Liberation: Autobiographical Writings of the Tibetan Buddhist Visionary Sera Khandro ISBN: 0231147686 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780231147682 Издательство: Wiley Рейтинг: Цена: 84480.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Love and Liberation reads the autobiographical and biographical writings of one of the few Tibetan Buddhist women to record the story of her life. Sera Khandro Kunzang Dekyong Chonyi Wangmo (also called Dewe Dorje, 1892-1940) was extraordinary not only for achieving religious mastery as a Tibetan Buddhist visionary and guru to many lamas, monastics, and laity in the Golok region of eastern Tibet, but also for her candor. This book records Sera Khandro`s conversations with land deities, dakinis, bodhisattvas, lamas, and fellow religious community members whose voices interweave with her own to narrate what is both a story of love between Sera Khandro and her guru, Drime Ozer, and of spiritual liberation.

Автор: Machen Arthur Название: Autobiographical Writings ISBN: 1614983100 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781614983101 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 36790.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
Anglo-Welsh writer Arthur Machen (1863-1947) has gained deserved celebrity for his tales of horror ("The Great God Pan," "The White People"), his moving novel of artistic expression, The Hill of Dreams, and a plethora of other works. Some of his most distinctive writings are his autobiographical volumes, Far Off Things (1922), Things Near and Far (1923), and The London Adventure (1924), written when Machen was being hailed as an elder statesman of late Victorian literature.
In these autobiographies, Machen carefully fashions an image of himself as the struggling artist dwelling in a London garret, surviving on tea and tobacco. His horror tales of the 1890s were condemned as the ravings of a diseased mind-but that only enhanced their popularity. But Machen continued to struggle financially, and in 1910 he began working as a reporter for the London Evening News. Soon after the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, he wrote "The Bowmen," which catapulted him into notoriety, as the story was taken as a true account of angels coming to the rescue of beleaguered British soldiers.
This volume also includes a group of separately published essays that augment our understanding of Machen's life and mind. In addition, the rare and piquant volume Precious Balms (1924)-a reprinting of the hostile reviews Machen received over a lifetime-is included.
The volume is edited by S. T. Joshi, a leading authority on Machen and weird fiction.
Автор: Patricia Smart Название: Writing Herself into Being: Quebec Women`s Autobiographical Writings from Marie de l`Incarnation to Nelly Arcan ISBN: 0773551190 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780773551190 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 33400.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: WINNER - Prix du livre d`Ottawa 2016 WINNER - Prix Jean-Ethier-Blais 2015 WINNER - Prix Gabrielle-Roy 2014 FINALIST - Prix litteraire Trillium 2015 From the founding of New France to the present day, Quebec women have had to negotiate societal expectations placed on their gender. Tracing the evolution of life writing by Quebec women, Patricia Smart presents a feminist analysis of women`s struggles for autonomy and agency in a society that has continually emphasized the traditional roles of wife and mother. Writing Herself into Being examines published autobiographies and autobiographical fiction, as well as the annals of religious communities, letters, and a number of published and unpublished diaries by girls and women, to reveal a greater range of women`s experiences than proscribed, generalized roles. Through close readings of these texts Smart uncovers the authors` perspectives on events such as the 1837 Rebellion, the Montreal cholera epidemic of 1848, convent school education, the struggle for women`s rights in the early twentieth century, and the Quiet Revolution. Drawing attention to the individuality of each writer while situating her within the social and ideological context of her era, this book further explores the ways women and girls reacted to, and often rebelled against, the constraints imposed on them by both Church and state. Written in a clear and compelling narrative style that brings women`s voices to life, Writing Herself into Being - the author`s own translation of her award-winning French-language book De Marie de l`Incarnation a Nelly Arcan: Se dire, se faire par l`ecriture intime (Boreal, 2014) - offers a new and gendered view of various periods in Quebec history.
