Zawiera: The End ; The Expelled ; The Calmative ; First Love.
This new collection brings together First Love, The Calamative, The End and The Expelled; these four novellas are among the first major works of Beckett's decision to use French as his language of literary composition. Rich in verbal and situational humour, they offer a fascinating insight into many of the issues which preoccupied Beckett all his working life. As the first novella reveals, nobody writes with quite such cruel and unnervingly clever wit as Beckett...

In this extraordinary collection of 100 manifestos from the last 100 years, Alex Danchev presents a cacophony of voices of such diverse movements as futurism, dadaism, surrealism, feminism, communism, destructivism, vortalism, stridentism, cannibalism and Stuccoism. film, architecture, fashion and cooking. The artists' manifestos are nothing if not revolutionary. They are bizarre, outrageous and often offensive. They combine wit, wisdom and world-shaking requirements. This collection gathers an international group of artists from every strip, including Kandinsky, Majakowski, Rodczenko, Le Corbusier, Picabia, Dali, Oldenburg, Wertow, Basel, Kitaj, Muraki, Gilbert and George, along with their allies and associates - such characters as Marinetti, Apollinaire, Breton, Trotsky, Guy Debord and Rem Koolhaas.

It's no secret that Harriet the Spy is a timeless classic that kids will love! Every day can be an adventure if you just look carefully enough!"What the novel showed me as a child is that words have the power to hurt, but they can also heal, and that it’s much better in the long run to use this power for good than for evil."—New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot.
Harriet M. Welsch is a spy. In her notebook, she writes down everything she knows about everyone, even her classmates and her best friends. Then Harriet loses track of her notebook, and it ends up in the wrong hands. Before she can stop them, her friends have read the always truthful, sometimes awful things she’s written about each of them. Will Harriet find a way to put her life and her friendships back together.

"'A savagely short novel of immeasurable ambition and violent beauty. This is the language of genius.' Juan Pablos Villalobos 'Yes, bastard, you're the one I love' A pair of lovers - a young female journalist and an older man who owns an isolated farm in the Brazilian outback - spend the night together. The next day they proceed to destroy each other. Amid vitriolic insults, cruelty and warring egos, their sexual adventure turns into a savage power game.

Na stronie tytułowej cytat: "The trivial round, the common task" (John Keble 1792-1866).
Intimidated by her father, the rector of Knype Hill, Dorothy performs her submissive roles of dutiful daughter and bullied housekeeper.
Her thoughts are taken up with the costumes she is making for the church school play, by the hopelessness of preaching to the poor and by debts she cannot pay in 1930s Depression England.
Suddenly her routine shatters and Dorothy finds herself down and out in London.
She is wearing silk stockings, has money in her pocket and cannot remember her name...
Orwell leads us through a landscape of unemployment, poverty and hunger, where Dorothy's faith is challenged by a social reality that changes her life.

In these three tales of a fragile recovery, a cut-glass bowl and a life lost, Fitzgerald portrays, in exquisite prose and with deep human sympathy, the idealism of youth and the ravages of success".
