|  Produktbeschreibung (21088218): Called ´´striking´´ by The New York Times Book Review, Gold by the Inch is the story of a young New Yorker of Asian descent who has returned to the country of his birth following a disastrous relationship and his father´s death. In a Bangkok drunk on the nation´s financial miracle -- and high on an assortment of other things -- the narrator meets Thong, a young, beautiful male hustler who works at a nightclub. As his romantic obsession with Thong grows, the narrator tries to convince himself that it transcends its commercial nature, but he is quickly forced into a hard look at the connections between desire and exploitation, personal and national identity. Lawrence Chua vividly combines Southeast Asia´s troubled history with evocations of its modern face -- its polyglot culture, its colonial past, the cool futurism of its skyscrapers and its sex industry. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 11.95 bestellen! |

Travels Through North and South Carolina (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | | Produktbeschreibung (22282315): AFTER a gentle descent I entered on an extreme stony narrow vale, through which coasted swiftly a large creek, twelve or fifteen yards wide, roaring over a rocky bed, which I crossed with difficulty and danger; the ford being incommoded by shelving rocks, full of holes and cliffs; after leaving this rocky creek my path led me upon another narrow vale or glade, down which came in great haste another noisy brook, which I repeatedly crossed and recrossed, sometimes riding on narrow level grassy verges close to its banks, still ascending, the vale gradually terminated, being shut up by stupendous rocky hills on each side, leaving a very narrow gap or defile. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 21.95 bestellen! |

| Produktbeschreibung (22360046): In a post-9/11 setting of rampant public and private corruption, a meet suburban schoolteacher one day awakens to realize that, one by one, his family has been devoured by society--and in the process, his own self-respect. Mentally snapping from alcoholic binges and self-pity, he rashly accepts gutter politics and the law of the jungle as proper ways to even the score.
Yet, despite the enormity of this complex character´s descent from middle class respectability to back-alley infamy, it must be weighed against the alternative--victory for a host of malevolent adversaries, eager to complete their unholy work--to teach this rebellious teacher what revenge in their domain is really all about!

Aemilia Lanyer: Gender, Genre, and the Canon (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | | Produktbeschreibung (22075143): Aemilia Lanyer was a middle-class Londoner of Jewish-Italian descent and the mistress of Queen Elizabeth´s Lord Chamberlain. But she is remembered today as the first Englishwoman to publish a substantial volume of original poems (1611). Her output is varied, subtle, provocative, and witty. The essays in this volume establish the intrinsic merit of Lanyer´s poetry and use her work to interrogate that of her male contemporaries, Donne, Jonson, and Shakespeare. As a whole the collection offers a sustained discussion of the processes of canonization and the construction of literary history. For this first booklength study of Lanyer´s work, Marshall Grossman has assembled a stellar group of Renaissance scholars, including Boyd Berry, David Bevington, Leeds Barroll, Achsah Guibbory, Michael Morgan Holmes, Barbara K. Lewalski, Kari Boyd McBride, Naomi I. Miller, Janel Mueller, Karen Nelson, and Susanne Woods. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 32.95 bestellen! |
