The Dance And The Dancer
Vilken enastående vacker bok och vilken fantastisk text. ALDRIG har någon förklarat dansen som fysisk realitet på det sätt som du gör. Bilderna är också magiska, suggestivt meningsfulla. Jag tycker att boken är en sensation. Horace Engdahl Boken The Dance and the Dancer är både en poetisk och instrumentell skildring av dans, där tankar om dans guidar dansaren genom den moderna dansens uttryck och rörelser i praktiken. Texterna är skrivna av koreografen Eva Lundqvist utifrån hennes livslånga erfarenhet av modern dans. De suggestiva bilderna är tagna av fotografen Lesley Leslie-Spinks. Engelsk text. Boken är formgiven av Patric Leo.

In this propulsive novel by the author of Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World and The Elephant Vanishes, one of the most idiosyncratically brilliant writers at work in any language fuses science fiction, the hard-boiled thriller, and white-hot satire into a new element of the literary periodic table.As he searches for a mysteriously vanished girlfriend, Haruki Murakami's protagonist plunges into a wind tunnel of sexual violence and metaphysical dread in which he collides with call girls; plays chaperone to a lovely teenaged psychic; and receives cryptic instructions from a shabby but oracular Sheep Man. Dance Dance Dance is a tense, poignant, and often hilarious ride through the cultural Cuisinart that is contemporary Japan, a place where everything that is not up for sale is up for grabs. 'A Japanese Philip K. Dick with a sense of humor....[Murakami belongs] in the topmost rank of writers of international stature.' -- Newsday 'Loaded with...mystery, mysticism, sex and

I Rode with Robespierre and Danced with Danton
What precipitated the overthrow of the Bourbon dynasty and what propelled Robespierre and Danton to power and dethroned them just as quickly? France in the late 18th century: a time of great enlightenment and great darkness; a time of death and discovery, of stretched loyalties and new commitments. Caught in a maelstrom of bloodshed and betrayal, torn by loyalty to the past and the promise of a new tomorrow, Philippe Mouniere, Marquis de Tournay, falls victim to a beautiful, young opera diva tied to a mysterious movement by a deadly secret that threatens to destroy all he values, condemning them both to a cruel destiny. Anchored in real events and using the tones and timbre of the period, the narrative hurls the reader along an historical rollercoaster through the splendour and treachery of Versailles, the coquetry of the Parisian clubs and the enthusiasm of the debating chamber – heady with the stink of tragedy and the bloody carnage that was Revolutionary Paris.

A ballerina at the height of her powers becomes consumed with finding her missing brother in this 'striking debut' (Oprah Daily). 'A compelling novel about the spiritual and bodily costs of the dogged pursuit of art.'--Raven Leilani, author of Luster At twenty-two years old, Cece Cordell reaches the pinnacle of her career as a ballet dancer when she's promoted to principal at the New York City Ballet. She's instantly catapulted into celebrity, heralded for her 'inspirational' role as the first Black ballerina in the famed company's history. Even as she celebrates the achievement of a lifelong dream, Cece remains haunted by the feeling that she doesn't belong. As she waits for some feeling of rightness that doesn't arrive, she begins to unravel the loose threads of her past--an absent father, a pragmatic mother who dismisses Cece's ambitions, and a missing older brother who stoked her childhood love of ballet but disappeared to deal with his own demons. Soon after her promotion, Cece
