A brave, original allegory of our modern world. 'It looks impossible to get out,' he says, 'But we'll get out'. Two brothers, Big and Small, are trapped at the bottom of a well. They have no food and little chance of rescue. Only the tempting spectre of insanity offers a way out. As Small's wits fail, Big formulates a desperate plan. With the authority of the darkest fables, and the horrifying inevitability of all-too-real life, Repila's unique allegory explores the depths of human desperation and, ultimately, our almost unending capacity for hope. Repila (b. Bilbao, 1978) is a Spanish writer celebrated for the originality and depth of his prose. He worked in cultural management and as an editor, before turning to writing with his highly acclaimed debut novel, Despicable Comedy. The Boy Who Stole Attila's Horse is his second novel and is his first book to appear in English.

The award-winning and haunting novel from Rodrigo Hasbún, the literary star Jonathan Safran Foer calls, “a great writer,” about an unusual family’s breakdown—set in South America during the time of Che Guevara and inspired by the life of Third Reich cinematographer Hans Ertl. Inspired by real events, Affections is the story of the eccentric, fascinating Ertl clan, headed by the egocentric and extraordinary Hans, once the cameraman for the Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl. Shortly after the end of World War II, Hans and his family flee to Bolivia to start over. There, the ever-restless Hans decides to embark on an expedition in search of the fabled lost Inca city of Paitití, enlisting two of his daughters to join him on his outlandish quest into the depths of the Amazon, with disastrous consequences. “A one-sitting tale of fragmented relationships with a broad scope, delivered with grace and power” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), Affections traces the Ertls’s slow and inevitable breakdown through the various erratic trajectories of each family member: Hans’s undertakings of colossal, foolhardy projects and his subsequent spectacular failures; his daughter Monika, heir to his adventurous spirit, who joins the Bolivian Marxist guerrillas and becomes known as “Che Guevara’s avenger”; and his wife and two younger sisters left to pick up the pieces in their wake. “Hasbún writes with patience and precision, revealing the family’s most intimate thoughts and interactions: first smokes, blind love, and familial devotion. This is a novel to savor for its richness and grace and its historical and political scope” (Booklist, starred review)—a masterfully layered tale of how a family’s voyage of discovery ends up eroding the affections that once held it together.

Locus Solus written by Selen Ansen and has been published by Arter Publications this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-06-01 with Art categories.

Arter initiated a new publication series, ARTER BACKGROUND, in 2019 to accompany exhibitions drawn from its collection, which holds more than 1.400 works of art. The fourth book of the series accompanies Locus Solus, which brings together selected works from the Arter Collection with several large-scale installations, including site-specific new productions, with an aim to explore the idea of “nature” through the lens of facts, fictions and emotions. In the book, excerpts of textual and visual contents selected around the ideas active in the curatorial process of the exhibition are complemented by new works produced specifically for this context. While the exhibition curated by Selen Ansen deals with the ways in which nature and culture permeate and affect each other, the accompanying publication, through its distinctive editorial structure, features texts pointing towards extinct territories, subconscious landscapes, foreign lands, fictive rooms, heres, elsewheres and nowheres, wonderlands, heavenly, earthly and subterranean realms, alongside commissioned essays by Sena Başöz, Pascal Janovjak and Su Pola. This book reflects the exhibition which it accompanies, and whose spaces and reflections on the idea of nature it extends. It amounts to a territory the contours of which are fluid, semi-autonomous, inhabited by a variety of spaces and times. One may peruse it while sitting, standing or lying down, in broad daylight or when the night has fallen, in clear or foul weather, in or outdoors – just as one would with any other book that fell into one’s hands. One will probably make one’s way into it unaccompanied, since it is customary to read alone and in silence. Once inside, it will be preferable to keep one’s eyes open in order to understand where one sets foot, yet not to neglect to close them so as to be able to wander off beyond its borders. This neither-too-long, neither-too-short book is also a body: a hybrid body composed of heterogeneous worlds and points of view, assembled according to the “good neighbour” principle, so cherished by Aby Warburg. It compiles fragments of texts uprooted from their original context, some of which are published as a whole, others devised within the framework of the exhibition. It also contains images, some speechless, others quite talkative, which, again, have been deterritorialised – moved out of their original context – in order to become reterritorialised in new surroundings. One will find less theory here than fiction, fewer essays than narrations, versified poetry and free prose, a manifesto, dictionary and encyclopaedia pages, more solitude than crowds, more vegetation than concrete, at least as many unspoken as vocalised thoughts. — Selen Ansen with contributions by Sena Başöz • John Berger • Jen Bervin • Karl Blossfeldt • Richard Brautigan • Charles Burns • Joseph Conrad • Julio Cortázar • Karel Čapek • Evliyâ Çelebi • Ferit Edgü • Helmut Eisendle • Gianni Guadalupi • Marlen Haushofer • Robert Hooke • Pascal Janovjak • Kamo no Chōmei • Gizem Karakaş • Tetsumi Kudo • D.H.

To celebrate the Year of Mexico in the UK and the Year of the UK in Mexico in 2015, Hay Festival, the British Council and Conaculta have joined forces to bring twenty young Mexican writers under the age of forty, paired with twenty British translators, to an international readership. Broken families, a man in a birdcage, a lone swimmer these stories betray a quest for the self when the feeling of loss pervades. Pushkin Press is proud to present these vibrant and moving narratives from modern Mexico. Adding to the already vast literary tradition of their country with brave new styles, the writers capture an era of shifting boundaries and growing violence, where Mexico s rapid modernization is often felt to be at the cost of its artistic heritage.

"A harrowing, humane, and very beautiful book.” —Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to You A searing dystopian vision of a young boy's flight through an unnamed, savaged country, searching for sanctuary and redemption—a debut novel from one of Europe's bestselling literary stars. A young boy has fled his home. He’s pursued by dangerous forces. What lies before him is an infinite, arid plain, one he must cross in order to escape those from whom he’s fleeing. One night on the road, he meets an old goatherd, a man who lives simply but righteously, and from that moment on, their paths intertwine. Out in the Open tells the story of this journey through a drought-stricken country ruled by violence. A world where names and dates don’t matter, where morals have drained away with the water. In this landscape the boy—not yet a lost cause—has the chance to choose hope and bravery, or to live forever mired in the cycle of violence in which he was raised. Carrasco has masterfully created a high stakes world, a dystopian tale of life and death, right and wrong, terror and salvation.
