Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ein Buch, das die Welt veränderteJohn Grimes ist ein schwarzer, empfindsamer Junge aus Harlem, sexuell unschlüssig, seine einzige Waffe zur Selbstverteidigung ist sein Verstand. Aber was nützt es, von den weißen Lehrern gefördert zu werden, wenn der eigene Vater einem tagtäglich predigt, man sei hässlich und wertlos, solange man sich nicht von der Kirche retten lässt. John sehnt sich danach, selbst über sein Schicksal zu entscheiden, nicht sein Vater, den er trotz allem liebt, nicht ein Gott, den er trotz allem sucht. Als am Tag von Johns vierzehntem Geburtstag sein Bruder Roy von Messerstichen schwer verletzt nach Hause kommt, wagt John einen mutigen Schritt, der nicht nur sein eigenes Leben verändern wird. 255 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Truman Capote was born in New Orleans in 1925 and was raised in various parts of the south, his family spending winters in New Orleans and summers in Alabama and New Georgia. By the age of fourteen he had already started writing short stories, some of which were published. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for the New Yorker which provided his first - and last - regular job. Following his spell with the New Yorker, Capote spent two years on a Louisiana farm where he wrote Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948). He lived, at one time or another, in Greece, Italy, Africa and the West Indies, and travelled in Russia and the Orient. He is the author of many highly praised books, including A Tree of Night and Other Stories (1949), The Grass Harp (1951), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958), In Cold Blood (1965), which immediately became the centre of a storm of controversy on its publication, Music for Chameleons (1980) and Answered Prayers (1986), all of which are published by Penguin. Truman Capote died in August 1984. 192 pp. Deutsch.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Through charm, drive, and diligent effort Octave Mouret has become the director of one of the finest new department stores in Paris, Au Bonheur des Dames. Supremely aware of the power of his position, Mouret seeks to exploit the desire that his luxuriantly displayed merchandise arouses in the ladies who shop, and the aspirations of the young female assistants he employs. Charting the beginnings of the capitalist economy and bourgeois society, Zola captures in lavish detail the greedy customers and gossiping staff, and the obsession with image, fashion, and gratification that was a phenomenon of nineteenth-century French consumer society. Of all Zola's novels, this may be the one with the most relevance for our own time. 464 pp. Englisch.
