ΚΑΤΙ ΕΧΩ ΝΑ ΣΑΣ ΠΩ
Εκδότης: ΚΑΣΤΑΝΙΩΤΗΣ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2250-4831

Το "Κάτι έχω να σας πω" παρακολουθεί την πορεία ενός επιτυχημένου ψυχαναλυτή που, στις αρχές του βιβλίου, συλλογίζεται τα χρόνια της ενηλικίωσής του στα προάστια του Λονδίνου, τη δεκαετία του 1970, τον πρώτο του έρωτα (σχέση που εξακολουθεί να τον στοιχειώνει) και μία βάναυση πράξη βίας από την οποία δεν μπόρεσε ποτέ να ξεφύγει. Το μυθιστόρημα καταγράφει με εξαιρετικό τρόπο την αίσθηση σεξουαλικής ελευθερίας και την ευφορία της κουλτούρας των ναρκωτικών εκείνης της δεκαετίας -όπως και τη βίαιη αντιπαράθεση ανάμεσα στις δυνάμεις της εργασία...

ΤΟ ΣΩΜΑ ΚΑΙ ΑΛΛΕΣ ΕΠΤΑ ΙΣΤΟΡΙΕΣ
Εκδότης: ΚΑΣΤΑΝΙΩΤΗΣ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2250-3858

Ο ήρωας της πρώτης νουβέλας αυτής της συλλογής βρίσκεται αντιμέτωπος μ’ ένα δελεαστικό δίλημμα. Καθώς η ζωή του πλησιάζει τη δύση της, του δίνεται η ευκαιρία ν’ ανταλλάξει το πλαδαρό του σώμα μ’ ένα πολύ νεότερο και πιο ελκυστικό. Με μια βουτιά στα βαθιά σαλπάρει σ’ ένα ταξίδι στη χώρα της ηδονής, αλλά δεν αργεί να μετανιώσει για όσα άφησε πίσω του, καθώς οι ευθύνες από τις οποίες νόμιζε πως είχε απαλλαγεί αρχίζουν να του χτυπούν πάλι την πόρτα. Δυσοίωνες δυνάμεις τον καταδιώκουν, θέλοντας να καταλάβουν το «κορμί» του, εγκαταλείποντάς τον ...

Εκδότης: FABER & FABER

(P/B) THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA
Εκδότης: FABER & FABER
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4386-0068

The Buddha of Suburbia, Hanif Kureishi's first novel, is a tour de force of comic invention, a bizarre, often hilarious, and totally original picture of the life of a young Pakistani growing up in 1970s Britain. Karim lives with his Mum and Dad in a suburb of south London and dreams of making his escape to the bright lights of the big city. But his father is no ordinary Dad, he is 'the buddha of suburbia', a strange and compelling figure whose powers of meditation hold a circle of would-be mystics spellbound with the fascinations of the E...

Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2250-2743

Η διάλυση των οικογενειών είναι ένα από τα βασικά θέματα της εποχής μας. Όπως είναι και η θέση των παιδιών στη ζωή μας, η εξουσία που τους δίνουμε μέσα απ' αυτά που κάνουμε. Δεν πρόκειται για ένα μυθιστόρημα που λέει απλώς «Ας κάνει ο καθένας ό,τι θέλει». Είναι ένα μυθιστόρημα που μιλά για τη σύγκρουση ανάμεσα στην ανάγκη να είσαι καλός πατέρας και συγχρόνως καλός σύζυγος. Μπορείς να είσαι και τα δύο; (...) Υπάρχουν άνθρωποι που θέλουν να ξεφύγουν, αλλά δεν μπορούν. Ίσως το βιβλίο αυτό τους κάνει ν' αναρωτηθούν πώς θα ήταν η ζωή τους αν τε...

(P/B) VENUS
Εκδότης: FABER & FABER
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4386-0484

With VENUS, Hanif Kureishi turns his piercing gaze onto the pains of old age. Maurice (Peter O'Toole) and Ian (Leslie Phillips) are veteran stage actors whose slow, inevitable decline is disrupted by the arrival in their lives of Ian's niece Jessie (Jodie Whittaker). While Jessie's housekeeping skills make for a bone of contention with Ian, Maurice finds himself attracted to her. Kureishi has crafted a disturbing, wry and profoundly moving swansong for his characters. Also included in this volume is an Introduction by Kureishi in which he ...

(P/B) COLLECTED STORIES
Εκδότης: FABER & FABER
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4386-0610

Over the course of the last 12 years, Hanif Kureishi has written short fiction.

This collection contains his controversial story Weddings and Beheadings , a well as his prophetic My Son the Fanatic, which exposes the religious tensions within the Muslim family unit. As with his novels and screenplays, Kureishi has his finger on the pulse of the political tensions in society and how ...

(P/B) LOVE + HATE
STORIES AND ESSAYS
Εκδότης: FABER & FABER
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4386-0753

Hate skews reality even more than love. In the story of a Pakistani woman who has begun a new life in Paris, an essay about the writing of Kureishi's acclaimed film Le Week-End, and an account of Kafka's relationship with his father, readers will find Kureishi also exploring the topics that he continues to make new, and make his own: growing up and growing old; betrayal and loyalty; imagination and repression; marriage and fatherhood. The collection ends with a bravura piece of very personal reportage about the conman who stole Kureishi's ...

(P/B) SOMETHING TO TELL YOU
Εκδότης: FABER & FABER
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4386-0070

Something to Tell You follows the fortunes of a successful psychoanalyst who, as the book opens, is reflecting on his coming-of-age in 1970s suburbia, on his first love (a relationship that continues to haunt him), and on a brutal act of violence from which he can never escape.The book brilliantly captures that decade’s sense of sexual freedom, and the exhilaration of the drug culture - as well as the violent struggle between the forces of labour and capital. The events of those years provide a vivid backdrop to the drama that develops thi...

ΤΟ ΧΑΡΙΣΜΑ ΤΟΥ ΓΚΑΜΠΡΙΕΛ

Η αποπομπή του πατέρα του από το σπίτι αναγκάζει τον δεκαπεντάχρονο Γκάμπριελ να μεγαλώσει απότομα. Προσπαθώντας να φροντίσει τον εαυτό του αλλά και να στηρίξει συναισθηματικά τους ανώριμους και συχνά μπερδεμένους γονείς του, στο δύσβατο μονοπάτι από την εφηβεία στην ωριμότητα έχει συμπαραστάτη του τη σκιά του νεκρού αδερφού του, που σαν δεύτερο «εγώ» τον βοήθα να ξεπερνά κάθε φορά τα εμπόδια.

(P/B) MIDNIGHT ALL DAY
Εκδότης: FABER & FABER
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4386-0073

The stories in Midnight All Day show a contemporary master at the top of his form, acclaimed by one reviewer for his depiction of 'a lost generation of men: those shaped by the sixties, disoriented by the eighties and bereft of a personal and political map in the nineties'. We are unerring in our choice of lovers, particularly when we require the wrong person. There is an instinct, magnet or aerial which seeks the unsuitable. The wrong person is, of course, right for something - to punish, bully, or humiliate us, let us down, leave us for ...

(P/B) MY EAR AT HIS HEART
Εκδότης: FABER & FABER
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4386-0667

Hanif Kureishi offers a remarkable insight into the birth of a writer - himself - through this memoir that conjures up a family story of how he found his own literary calling from the ashes of his father's failed attempts in the past. The wellspring of the memoir is Kureishi's discovery of an abandoned manuscript that recounts his father's childhood in Bombay as the world turns upside down and India splits in two along religious lines: thus a family that had lived in India for generations now had to accept a Pakistani identity. And so begi...

Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4386-0067

The centrepiece of Hanif Kureishi's brilliant new collection of fiction delves into the fascinating concept of personal identity, and the extent to which this is rooted in our physical being. Middle-aged playwright Adam is amazed to be approached by a shadowy organisation and offered the chance to trade in his decrepit body for a much younger model. He takes up the offer for a six-month period, and his consciousness is duly transplanted into the handsome body of his choice. But Adam soon finds that his new flesh brings with it grave and un...

«Είμαστε αλάθητοι στην επιλογή του εραστή μας, ιδιαίτερα όταν αξιώνουμε το λάθος πρόσωπο. Υπάρχει ένα ένστικτο, μαγνήτης ή αερικό, που γυρεύει το αταίριαστο. Βέβαια, το λάθος πρόσωπο είναι σε κάτι σωστό: στο να μας τιμωρεί, να μας φοβερίζει ή να μας ταπεινώνει, να μας απογοητεύει, να μας τσακίζει στην κυριολεξία ή, το χειρότερο απ' όλα, να μας δίνει την εντύπωση ότι όχι μόνο δεν είναι ακατάλληλο, αλλά αντίθετα είναι σχεδόν σωστό, κρατώντας μας έτσι αιχμάλωτους στη φυλακή του έρωτα. Δεν μπορεί ο οποιοσδήποτε να το κάνει αυτό». Οι ήρωες στα...

(P/B) LOVE IN A BLUE TIME
Εκδότης: FABER & FABER
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4386-0072

Love in a Blue Time is a brilliant collection of stories by the bestselling author of The Buddha of Suburbia . This time, Hanif Kureishi's subject is the difficult, serious business of love - and hate. His stories have all the qualities of his novels: they are funny, inventive, bawdy, and aggressively contemporary. The characters that stride out of the pages of Love in a Blue Time , however damaged, deranged or despicable, are united by one thing: they are all creatures of strong desire. (From the publisher)...
