Kurt Vonnegut "A Man Without a Country" is Kurt Vonnegut's hilarious and razor-sharp look at life ("If I die - God forbid - I would like to go to heaven to ask somebody in charge up there: "Hey, what was the good news and what was the bad news?"), art ("To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."), politics ("I asked former Yankees pitcher Jim Bouton what he thought of our great victory over Iraq and he said: "Mohammed Ali versus Mr. Rogers."), and the condition of the soul of America today ("What has happened to us?"). Gleaned from short essays and speeches composed over the last five years and plentifully illustrated with artwork by the author throughout, "A Man Without a Country" gives us Vonnegut both speaking out with indignation and writing tenderly to his fellow Americans, sometimes joking, at other times hopeless, always searching. Kurt Vonnegut is among the very few grandmasters of contemporary American letters, without whom the very term...

Kurt Vonnegut "This may be as close as Vonnegut ever comes to a memoir." Los Angeles Times "Like [that of] his literary ancestor Mark Twain, [Kurt Vonnegut's] crankiness is good-humored and sharp-witted... [Reading A Man Without a Country is] like sitting down on the couch for a long chat with an old friend." The New York Times Book Review

Kurt Vonnegut First published on the anniversary of Kurt Vonnegu''s death, "Armageddon in Retrospect" is a collection of twelve new writings - a fitting tribute to the author, and an essential contribution to the discussion of war, peace and humanity's tendency toward violence. Imbued with the author's trademark rueful humour, the pieces range from a visceral non-fiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden - to a painfully funny short story about three soldiers and their fantasies of the perfect meal.

Kurt Vonnegut Long, long ago, as he researched into the origin of species, Charles Darwin had been inspired by the creatures of the Galapagos. Now, a million years on, the new inhabitants of the islands - the human survivors of the "Nature Cruise of the Century" - have quietly evolved into sleek, furry creatures with flippers, and small brains. All other forms of humankind have ceased to exist, finally made redundant by their own inventions. All that survives of their Big-Brain Culture is contained in Mandarax, a tiny electronic marvel which can recall any one of twenty thousand popular quotations from world literature, as well as translate among a thousand languages. Unfortunately, Mandarax doesn't understand Kanka-Bono, the language of the cannibals who have arrived to "look after" the new humanity... Формат: 12,5 см x 19,5 см.
