Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Siblings is the story of ten children, nine of whom are brought up by the eldest who, apart from being the narrator, is keen, capable and obedient to his parents. He has been taught to care for the other nine but also to control them. When the parents are dead and he is in charge, they try to resist him but it is not easy, such are the bonds that tie them together. This is set in a time of generational change from a strict and disciplined society, in which the acquisition of skills is crucial, to a society that is more relaxed (at least for those who dont have such an elder brother), deskilled and drawn to consumerism.This novel is not just about the claustrophobic nature of the nuclear family; it is also about the interdependence of the powerful and the powerless, but in the end that bond has to be broken as the reader will discover. In a large family business the elder brother cuts out a dictatorial role for himself, creating a claustrophobic tension that can be resolved by only one thing: death. Skilfully pared down, this novel is evocative of so many incongruities in human relationships. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Long description: This novel is based on the life of Linnaeus, the eighteenth-century, Swedish enlightenment figure famous for his taxonomy or scientific classification still used in biology. It principally concerns the different ways Linnaeus and his gardener interpret the world around them. The gardener perceives plants for what they are in themselves and Linnaeus for what they are in relation to other things. They never understand each other and the dialogues are wonderfully inconclusive.…

It principally concerns the different ways Linnaeus and his gardener interpret the world around them. The gardener perceives plants for what they are in themselves and Linnaeus for what they are in relation to other things. They never understand each other and the dialogues are wonderfully inconclusive. A very brief novelised biography of Linnaeus. It mainly consists of a dialogue between Linnaeus and his gardener - a dialogue of the deaf as they perceive the world very differently, but the reader understands their misunderstanding. A subtle and understated work that has become a classic in Sweden. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The bank. The bank is greyness and the monotony of modern working practices. The bank is modernity and its obsession with moving money around. The bank is perverse and its mechanisms unknown even to those who work there. The bank is a place where an employee can go quietly insane in the bowels of the building. The bank is an inhumane human creation, a monster whose needs do not coincide with those of its customers and employees. The bank is extraordinary, a metaphysical entity that cannot be understood or explained Except perhaps through the equally extraordinary pared-down prose of Magnus Florin, a writer who explains through suggestiveness the inscrutable paradoxes of the way we live now.In spite of their brevity, Florins books are novels and not novellas because, like the Tardis, when you enter them you enter a much wider space than you expected. They suggest a myriad of ideas, and you are left guessing where he is going to take you next. A brilliantly pared-down take on what it means to be employed by a bank, which expresses the alienation and monotony experienced by staff and customers alike, as well as its opaque mechanisms that defy human rationalism. There is both bleakness and wit in this brief but extraordinary novel. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
