The Line - Keri Smith - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Line - Keri Smith - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A deceptively simple adventure into the unknown using only paper, a pencil and a single line Wreck This Journal had a simple premise: destroy the book in all the ways you can imagine. The Line is even simpler: find pencil, start a line.As you move through the pages of Keri Smith''s newest book, you''ll be asked to let your line meander, explore the book''s gutter, and jump around the edges of the pages. You''ll hide your line, cut your line and even let someone else take over your line for a bit. The farther you get into the book, however, the more you''ll discover that maybe things aren''t as simple as they first seemed. The line has a mind of its own, and it''s up to you to discover what''s at the end of the line (hint: it''s just the beginning).

Picket Line and Other Stories - Elmore Leonard - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Picket Line and Other Stories - Elmore Leonard - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

These three stories--''Picket Line'', ''Chick Killer'' and ''Ice Man''--show Elmore Leonard at his most terse and harsh, able to conjure up a sense of profound unease and injustice in just a few words.The main story ''Picket Line'' describes a tense stand-off between migrant workers in Texas, police and labour organisers in a brilliantly orchestrated series of arguments and negotiations, with the potential for terrible violence lurking in every exchange. ''Chick Killer'' and ''Ice Man'', set in Florida and California are two riffs on the thing that made Leonard great: his extraordinary ear for creating dialogues of negotiation, where the stakes could not be higher for the loser.

The Shadow-Line - Joseph Conrad - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Odyssey - Homer - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Odyssey - Homer - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

'This may be the best translation of The Odyssey yet. Daniel Mendelsohn’s rendering of Homer’s text is both highly readable and faithful to the original metre. It’s impressive, thrilling stuff... a sonorous new translation' - Edith Hall, The TelegraphWith his Odyssey, bestselling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has created a momentous new work, hailed by classicists and poets alike—a translation to stand with those of E. V. Rieu and Robert Fagles. Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic’s formal qualities – meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance – and in so doing restores to Homer’s masterwork its archaic grandeur. His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer’s verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original. The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer’s work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn’s Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.
