Age of Iron
Il prezzo originale era: €13,50.€8,10Il prezzo attuale è: €8,10.by J.M. Coetzee
Nobel Laureate and two-time Booker prize-winning author of Disgrace and The Life and Times of Michael K, J. M. Coetzee tells the remarkable story of a nation gripped in brutal apartheid in his Sunday Express Book of the Year award-winner Age of Iron.
In Cape Town, South Africa, an elderly classics professor writes a letter to her distant daughter, recounting the strange and disturbing events of her dying days. She has been opposed to the lies and the brutality of apartheid all her life, but now she finds herself coming face to face with its true horrors: the hounding by the police of her servant’s son, the burning of a nearby black township, the murder by security forces of a teenage activist who seeks refuge in her house. Through it all, her only companion, the only person to whom she can confess her mounting anger and despair, is a homeless man who one day appears on her doorstep.
In Age of Iron, J. M. Coetzee brings his searing insight and masterful control of language to bear on one of the darkest episodes of our times.
‘Quite simply a magnificent and unforgettable work’ Daily Telegraph

Altazor – Temblor de cielo
Il prezzo originale era: €8,90.€5,30Il prezzo attuale è: €5,30.di Vicente Huidobro
“Altazor” y “Temblor de cielo” (1931), poemas en verso y en prosa respectivamente, son las obras clave del poeta chileno Vicente Huidobro, uno de los importadores de las vanguardias artísticas a España. Con el paso del tiempo se ha ido agrandando el eco de la calidad de su obra. En concreto “Altazor” es hoy para muchos una intensa obra metafísica además de un ingenioso juego de palabras. Para otros es la culminación del creacionismo, movimiento cuya paternidad se atribuye en general a Huidobro. Para todos es un texto tan admirable como desconcertante.
