Qui dit quoi ? Où est la vérité ? A ces questions vient s'ajouter une autre énigme : pour quelles raisons Agota Kristof s'est-elle exilée de son oeuvre en l'attribuant à deux personnages, Lucas et Klaus ? On ne quitte jamais, dans la Trilogie, les manuscrits des jumeaux. Du moins en apparence : l'auteur s'applique à "désécrire" le texte et cherche à se le réapproprier. Est-ce vraiment délibéré ?

A very good+ paperback, 1st German edition, with minor defects on cover as in image, pages near fine.Andreas Kordopatis, ein Vorläufer unserer "Gastarbeiter"- Generation, schildert anhand seines persönlichen Schicksals ein Stück Zeitgeschichte. Zu Beginn dieses Jahrhunderts will er nach Amerika emigrieren, um dort zu arbeiten. Unter erheblichen Schwierigkeiten und nach mehrmaligem Anlauf gelangt er endlich in das Land seiner Hoffnung, doch die Einreise wird ihm verweigert. Illegal geht er an Land und schlägt sich - da des Englischen nicht mächtig - von Landsmann zu Landsmann durch, immer auf der Flucht vor der Polizei. "Die Geschichte des Andreas Kordopatis dringt vor allem seiner Sprache wegen so tief ins Herz" (Hans Bender, Süddeutsche Zeitung).

A reissue good+ paperback, crinkle on cov. as in image, text very good.Charming, evocative autobiography by one of the key figures in the mid-20th-century folk revival. The charisma, humor and storytelling chops that made Dave Van Ronk (1936–2002) a Greenwich Village legend are abundantly on display in this memoir, assembled after his death by long-time friend and blues historian Wald. A blue-collar boy from the outer boroughs, Van Ronk dropped out of "Our Lady of Perpetual Bingo" at 15 and headed to the Village to hang out with anarchists and Wobblies. He began his musical life as a jazz fanatic convinced that "folk music was irredeemably square." But Harry Smith's paradigm-altering Anthology of American Folk Music in 1951 introduced Van Ronk and a lot of other "neo-ethnics" to the astonishing diversity of traditional American music. They aimed to play it with "authenticity," scorning the bland sounds of pop-folk acts like the Kingston Trio. Nor did they initially have much interest in writing… Read More

London: Vintage, 2004. Paperback. Fine. Fine paperback. 321pages, 20X13cm.Three times a day in a Parisian square, a curious modern-day crier announces the news items that are left in his box. Over the course of a few days he receives a number of disturbing and portentous messages of malicious intent, all of them referring to the Black Death. Strange marks have also appeared on the doors of several buildings: symbols once used to ward off the plague. Detective Commissaire Adamsberg begins to sense a connection, even a grotesque menace. Then charged and flea-bitten corpses are found. The press seizes on their plague-like symptoms, and the panic sets in.

Berlin: Aufbau Taschenbuch, 2004. Paperback. Fine. Fine paperback. 399pages, 19X11,5cm.Die Pest in Paris! Das Gerücht hält die Stadt in Atem, seit auf immer mehr Wohnungstüren über Nacht eine seitenverkehrte 4 erscheint und morgens ein Toter auf der Straße liegt - schwarz. Kommissar Adamsberg sitzt in einer kleinen Brasserie in Montparnasse. Im Kopf hat er eine rätselhafte lateinische Formel, die auf jenen Türen stand - und vor sich, am Metroausgang, einen bretonischen Seemann, der anonyme Annoncen verliest. Auch lateinische darunter. Aber wo ist der Zusammenhang zwischen den immer zahlreicheren Toten in der Stadt und den sympathischen kleinen Leuten, die dem Bretonen so gebannt zuhören Plötzlich hat Adamsberg, der Mann mit der unkontrollierten Phantasie, eine Vision. Ein meisterhafter Roman voll düsterer Spannung, leiser Poesie und Vargas' unnachahmlich schrägen Dialogen. Ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Krimipreis 2004.

A very good+ paperback, light signs of wear as in image, creased spine. Don Rigoberto - by day a grey insurance executive, by night a pornographer and sexual enthusiast - misses Lucrecia, his estranged second wife. The pair separated following a sexual encounter between Lucrecia and Alfonso, Rigoberto's son. To compensate for her absence, Rigoberto fills his notebooks with memories, fantasies and unsent letters. Meanwhile, Alfonso visits Lucrecia, determined to win her love. In The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto, Mario Vargas Llosa keeps the reader guessing which episodes are real and which issue from Rigoberto's imagination. The novel, a wonderful mix of reality and fantasy, is sexy, funny, disquieting, and unfailingly compelling.
