The Sea is My Brother - Jack Kerouac - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Booktok.dk

The Sea is My Brother - Jack Kerouac - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Booktok.dk

''His first novel is a revelation ... the writing is vivid, serious and extraordinary ... wonderful'' The Times The Sea is My Brother is Jack Kerouac''s very first novel, begun shortly after his tour as a merchant sailor in 1942. Lost during his lifetime, it is an intense portrait of friendship and brotherhood and a meditation on the desire to escape society, following the fortunes of two men as they impulsively decide to work their passage on the S.S. Westminster : drinking, arguing, playing cards, dodging torpedoes and contemplating the vast, terrible beauty of the sea. Published with fragments of early stories and letters, this visceral work gives a unique insight into the young Kerouac and the formation of his genius. ''What''s clear from this newly published first novel is that Kerouac was positively fizzing with talent at an early age'' Sunday Times

Siblings - Brigitte Reimann - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Booktok.dk

Siblings - Brigitte Reimann - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Booktok.dk

''Spare, chilling, with wild flashes of vivid colour and the tempo of a thriller, Siblings jolts us into the beating heart of a family and post-war East Germany, conjuring the political dreams and divisions that make and ultimately break both'' Lisa Appignanesi 1960. The border between East and West Germany has closed.For Elisabeth - a young painter - the GDR is her generation''s chance to build a glorious, egalitarian socialist future. For her brother Uli, it is a place of stricture and oppression. Separating them is the ever-wider chasm of the Party line; over them loom the twin spectres of opportunity and fear, and the shadow of their defector brother Konrad. In prose as bold as a scarlet paint stroke, Brigitte Reimann battles with the clash of idealism and suppression, familial loyalty, and desire. The result is this ground-breaking classic of post-war East German literature. Translated by Lucy Jones

The Master of Ballantrae - Adrian Poole - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Booktok.dk

The Master of Ballantrae - Adrian Poole - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Booktok.dk

Set at the time of the Jacobite uprising, The Master of Ballantrae tells of a family divided. James Durie, Master of Ballantrae, abandons his ancestral home to support the Scottish rebellion - leaving his younger brother Henry, who is faithful to the English crown, to inherit the title of Lord Durrisdeer. But he is to return years later, embittered by battles and a savage life of piracy on the high seas, to demand his inheritance. Turning the people against the Lord, he begins a savage feud with his brother that will lead the pair from the Scottish Highlands to the American Wilderness. Satanic and seductive, the Master was regarded by Stevenson as ''all I know of the devil''; his darkly manipulative schemes dominate this subtle and compelling tragedy.This edition takes as its text the Edinburgh Edition of the novel, the last approved by the author. The introduction considers the novel''s inspiration and its place as one of Stevenson''s greatest studies in cruelty.
