Σαν ένας άλλος Ριπ Βαν Ουίνκλ, που επιστρέφοντας στη γενέτειρά του ανακαλύπτει ότι όλα έχουν αλλάξει, ο Νέιθαν Ζούκερμαν ξαναγυρίζει στη Νέα Υόρκη, την πόλη που έχει εγκαταλείψει πριν από έντεκα χρόνια. Μόνος στο σπίτι του στο βουνό, στην ορεινή Νέα Αγγλία, ο Ζούκερμαν δεν είναι παρά συγγραφέας: ούτε γυναίκες, ούτε ειδήσεις, παρά μόνο η ενασχόληση με το έργο του και η προσπάθεια να υπομείνει το άχθος των γηρατειών. Περιπλανώμενος, σαν νεκραναστημένος, στους δρόμους της πόλης, σύντομα θα πραγματοποιήσει τρεις συναντήσεις που θα διαρρήξουν ...

(P/B) THE BREAST
Εκδότης: VINTAGE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0626-0370

Like a latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed. But where Kafka's protagonist turned into a giant beetle, the narrator of Philip Roth's richly conceived fantasy has become a 155-pound female breast. What follows is a deliriously funny yet touching exploration of the full implications of Kepesh's metamorphosis - a daring, heretical book that brings us face to face with the intrinsic strangeness of sex and subjectivity.

Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0626-0036

Portnoy's Complaint n. [after Alexander Portnoy (1933- )] A disorder in which strongly-felt ethical and altruistic impulses are perpetually warring with extreme sexual longings, often of a perverse nature. Spielvogel says: 'Acts of exhibitionism, voyeurism, fetishism, auto-eroticism and oral coitus are plentiful; as a consequence of the patient's "morality," however, neither fantasy nor act issues in genuine sexual gratification, but rather in overriding feelings of shame and the dread of retribution, particularly in the form of castration...

Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0626-1105

Goodbye, Columbus is the story of Neil Klugman and pretty, spirited Brenda Patimkin, he of poor Newark, she of suburban Short Hills, who meet one summer and fall into an affair that is as much about social class and suspicion as it is about love. The novella is accompanied by five short stories - sometimes iconoclastic, sometimes elegiac - that crackle with irreverent originality and display Roth's blazing early talent. Philip Roth's prize-winning first book instantly established its author's reputation as a writer of explosive wit, merci...

Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0626-0374

In this surreal and powerful coda to the Zuckerman trilogy, Nathan Zuckerman is visiting Prague, where intellectuals come searching for Kafta, where half the population is spying on the other half, where misfits who don't submit decently to their misfortunes act out a comedy of manners in stylish decadence. Here Zuckerman meets Olga, and striking a deal with this strangely impressive woman is to bring home lessons for the successful American writer - lessons about oppression and resilience, laughter and Kafta, Jewishness and the unforeseen...
