She was internationally renowned for her work, which included novels, short stories, poetry, juvenile fiction, and an autobiography, and received numerous awards including being appointed to the Order of New Zealand, New Zealand's highest civil honour. Frame's celebrity derived from her dramatic personal history as well as her literary career. Following years of psychiatric hospitalisation, Frame was scheduled for a lobotomy that was cancelled when, just days before the procedure, her debut publication of short stories was unexpectedly awarded a national literary prize. Many of her novels and short stories explore her childhood and psychiatric hospitalisation from a fictional perspective, and her award-winning three-volume autobiography was adapted into the film "An Angel at My Table" (1990), directed by Jane Campion.' [Wiki] ***'At the time of the strange happenings in Kowhai Street, Puamahara, people were living their quiet lives, taking pride in the maintenance of "suburban comfortable" homes, little realizing that inexplicable chaos was at hand. ***As the events of Kowhai Street unfold, the Tararua mountains, their foothills and orchards become as near and as far as the distant Carpathians. Janet Frame transports us to the realm of shifting dimensions - where unquestioned beliefs inexorably fall into doubt and ordinary lives come to blossom in the Ancient Springtime.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***First impression of the first UK edition, complete in its original dustwrapper, in beautiful near fine condition. This last published novel by Janet Frame is now quite elusive, especially in such nice condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Codice articolo 4212x

16.5 cm x 24 cm. 196 pages. Dustjacket designed by AB3 Design with an illustration by Dulce Tobin. Original Hardcover with dustjacket. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. The Carpathians is the last novel [published in her lifetime] by New Zealand writer Janet Frame, published in 1988 and awarded that year's Commonwealth Writers' Prize. In The Carpathians we are presented with a topsy-turvy world. The protagonist, Mattina Brecon, is a wealthy New Yorker whose husband, Jake, is a novelist struggling to follow up the success of his smash-hit debut. Mattina, upon hearing the legend of the Memory Flower, decides to fly to New Zealand to visit a rural town, Puamahara, where the magical flower, said to release the memories of the land, linking them with the future, is rumoured to grow. Once there, Mattina rents a house on Kowhai Street, where, posing as a novelist, she sets out to record the lives of her new antipodean neighbours. As she discovers, however, the locals are also 'impostors', brought into existence by the memory of another time and place. Eventually, the town slowly begins to resemble a cemetery, silent and dead still. As Mattina begins to unravel the secrets of Kowhai Street she discovers, in her own bedroom a mysterious presence. The novel is hijacked by one of Mattina's new neighbours who describes herself as an imposter novelist, as the New Yorker gradually loses her grip on time and place. A dense, complex novel, The Carpathians combines elements of Magical Realism, postmodernism and metafiction. Sprache: english. Codice articolo 200010AB
