The rhythms of this novel are the rhythms of the land. A Place on Earth resonates with variations played on themes of change; looping transitions from war into peace, winter into spring, browning flood destruction into greening fields, absence into presence, lost into found.

The book opens with a middle-aged man in a drunken fit of melancholy after hearing about the death of an old friend. At the subsequent funeral, he convinces his old Mod gang to relive the riotous days of the early ‘80s, in a scooter powered adventure to Brighton. All four escape to the south coast but for very different reasons. If there ever was a Quadrophenia II, then this is it.

Story1
Ce périple, les trois jeunes gens l'ont entrepris au mépris du danger, au péril de leur vie, et malgré les supplications de leurs fiancées respectives. Ils l'ont fait pour le rayonnement de la France, le progrès de la science et aussi un peu pour passer le temps. Il en résulte un roman d'aventure avec de l'action à l'intérieur et aussi des temps calmes et du passé simple. Ceci est une expérience de lecture immersive. Hormis deux ou trois passages inquiétants, le suspense y est supportable et l'oeuvre reste accessible au public poitrinaire.

La protagonista de Boulder és una dona atreta per la solitud com per un imant. Es guanya la vida fent de cuinera en un buc - la situació perfecta: una cabina, l'oceà, moltes hores per encarar el buit i algun port on conèixer dones. Fins que una la reté, se l'emporta entre les quatre parets d'una casa i l'embarca en la gestació assistida d'una criatura. ¿Què en farà, la maternitat, de l'amant coneguda en un bar? ¿I què farà ella a la gàbia? Dos anys després de Permagel i d'un viatge a través de mitja dotzena de llengües, l'obra de Baltasar torna a atracar entre nosaltres amb una heroïna com només sap crear-les ella.

A stunning portrait of love, hope and survival on an isolated island off Western Australia. In Judy Nunn's latest compelling novel, compassion meets bigotry, hatred meets love, and ultimately despair meets hope on the windswept shores of Australia. On a barren island off the coast of Western Australia, a rickety wooden dinghy runs aground. Aboard are nine people who have no idea where they are. Strangers before the violent storm that tore their vessel apart, the instinct to survive has seen them bond.

With just his father and then the love of a new mother to guide him, he does his best to navigate the twin countries of humor and tragedy that he must travel through.

Повесть, в которой тема взросления будто переворачивается с ног на голову и обретает черты сюрреалистического юмора! Книга, в которой гомерически смешно и изощренно зло пародируется сама идея счастливого детства. Чуткий и умный Санаев все правильно понял. Оттого ценность его повести возрастает, и ей гарантировано место в истории русской литературы.

Questo romanzo è la storia dell’amore, lancinante e assoluto, di una figlia, Marie, nata da uno stupro, per la madre, Eugénie detta Génie, che, ripudiata dalla famiglia e respinta dalla comunità dopo che ha generato una bastarda, si è murata nel silenzio e nella lontananza. Una madre che sa dirle soltanto: «Non starmi sempre tra i piedi», che raramente la abbraccia; una che tutti, in paese, bollano come matta e sfruttano facendola lavorare nei campi e nelle fattorie in cambio di un po’ di frutta, di un pezzo di carne.
