The career of the English novelist Penelope Fitzgerald offers the best argument I know for a publishing debut made late in life . . . An uncommonly perceptive writer, acute though not sour about human nature, and the master of a spare, subtle style., "Penelope Fitzgerald is the finest British writer alive." The Los Angeles Times "Warm and wry, her writing is as economical as it is perfect. It's always a pleasure to see a new book under her name." The Washington Post "She is, isn't she, the best." -- A.S. Byatt "Reading [Fitzgerald's Tction] is like having someone play Mozart two rooms away: light, sweet -- jolly, even -- and utterly piercing, like a needle though the heart." The New Yorker "Fitzgerald is the funniest writer in English now alive." New Republic, Reading [Fitzgerald's Þction] is like having someone play Mozart two rooms away: light, sweet - jolly, even - and utterly piercing, like a needle though the heart., "Warm and wry, her writing is as economical as it is perfect.

Synopsis
With the death of Penelope Fitzgerald in 2000, the literary world lost one of its finest, most original, and most beloved authors. Completed just before her death, THE MEANS OF ESCAPE was Fitzgerald's first new book since the best-selling THE BLUE FLOWER. Never before have her short stories been collected in book form, and none of them has ever appeared in the United States. THE MEANS OF ESCAPE showcases this incomparable author at her most intelligent, her funniest, her best. Like her novels, these brilliant stories are miniature studies of the endless absurdity of human behavior. Roaming the globe and the ages, the stories travel from England to France to New Zealand and from today to the seventeenth century. Uniting them is a universal theme: the shifting balance between those who are in positions of power -- by wealth, status, or class -- and those who are not. THE MEANS OF ESCAPE memorializes a life and a writer guided by a generous but unwavering moral gaze., With the death of Penelope Fitzgerald this year, the literary world lost one of its finest, most original, and most beloved authors. Fitzgerald began her writing career at age sixty and wrote eight remarkable novels in rapid succession over the next twenty years. Completed just before her death, THE MEANS OF ESCAPE is Fitzgerald's first new book since the best-selling THE BLUE FLOWER. Never before have her short stories been collected in book form, and none of them has ever appeared in theUnited States. THE MEANS OF ESCAPE showcases this incomparable author at her most intelligent, her funniest, her best. Like her novels, these brilliant stories are miniature studies of the endless absurdity of human behavior. Concise, comic, biting, and mischievous, they are vintage Fitzgerald. Roaming the globe and the ages, the stories travel from England to France to New Zealand and from today to the seventeenth century. Uniting them is a universal theme: the shifting balance between those who arein positions of power--by wealth, status, or class--and those who, deceptively, are not. THE MEANS OF ESCAPE memorializes a life and a writer guided by a generous but unwavering moral gaze.

- r***c (1658)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufUnfortunately for both of us the item was lost in transit. But seller provided excellent service and was very responsive. Issued a full refund right away when I brought the issue to his attention. The USPS is at fault here as they failed to track the item once in their possession. NOT THE SELLER'S FAULT. Seller was A+ throughout the transaction and had great prices. I highly recommend.The Dahlgren Affair: Terror and Conspiracy in the Civil War (Nr. 326483517868)
- a***1 (914)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufFast shipping, item as described, however the packaging was not suitable for mailing a CD. It was luck that the CD was not damaged in transit. There was nothing to protect the CD from being crushed or bent in the mail, all it had was a thin plastic bag. I was considering giving the seller a neutral rating for the way he packed the item, but decided not to, because I didn't wanted to lower the seller's rating , and other than the packaging I have no other complaints with this order.Maria Tanase Greatest Hits (Nr. 326483481439)
