Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Monsieur Goriot is one of a disparate group of lodgers at Mademe Vauquer's dingy Parisian boarding house. At first his wealth inspires respect, but as his circumstances are mysteriously reduced he becomes shunned by those around him, and soon his only remaining visitors are his two beautifully dressed daughters. Goriot's fate is intertwined with two other fellow boarders: the young social climber Eugene Rastignac, who sees a way to gain the acceptance and wealth he craves, and the enigmatic figure of Vautrin, who is hiding darker secrets than anyone. Weaving a compelling and panoramic story of love, money, self-sacrifice, corruption, greed and ambition, Old Man Goriot is Balzac's acknowledged masterpiece. A key novel in his Comedie Humaine series, it is a vividly realized portrait of bourgeois Parisian society in the years following the French Revolution. Monsieur Goriot is one of a disparate group of lodgers at Mademe Vauquer's dingy Parisian boarding house. At first his wealth inspires respect, but as his circumstances are mysteriously reduced he becomes shunned by those around him, and soon his only remaining visitors are his two beautifully dressed daughters.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Featuring the poem 'Autoemotive Funerals I-IV' (The Forward Book of Poetry 2026)Olivia McCannons latest collection is shot through with questions. How ecological is English? How do you read an unreadable world, or a transforming planet?The Lives of Z is an inventory of poem-artefacts gleaned from the spoilheaps of a speculative future.

Except that here, life is growing out of the data.In this space of provocation and encounter, the reader is invited to play Zs game and crash-test different ways of being in language. What will I have been? Who or what owns the collective possessive? How many life forms can inhabit the same pronoun?Z, the creative principle of life multitudinous, networked and irreverent is running the experiment, in an unrepentantly bad science mode.Salvaged from what cant be thrown away, these poems meet uncertainty with creativity, searching for the freedom and the words to reclaim human and earthly connections.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Olivia McCannon's first collection explores life on the edge of possibility: in one moment the familiar is blown open, we plunge into the unknown. A chance meeting seals a lifetime; a girl leaps from a window, away from safety - 'she wanted to see what can happen'. From families improvising a living space in Cairo's City of the Dead, to a veteran of the Normandy landings coming home to the peaceful reparation of 'glueing, welding, soldering', life is luminous, and resolutely seized. The closing sequence follows the last months of the poet's mother's life. A journey into grief and loss, it pays tribute to the courage of refusing false comfort, the strength that in the end enables us to live 'between the lines / of tombs'.…
