Gut
Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Reviews
Praise for Mouthful of Birds "Surreal, disturbing, and decidedly original." -- Library Journal, starred review "Schweblin once again deploys a heavy dose of nightmare fuel in this frightening, addictive collection...canny, provocative, and profoundly unsettling." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Schweblin builds dense and uncanny worlds, probing the psychology of human relationships and the ways we perceive existence and interpret culture, with dark humor and sharp teeth. An assemblage of both gauzy and substantial stories from an unquestionably imaginative author." -- Kirkus R eview "Intense... [has] a visceral effect as Schweblin navigates the extremes of her characters' actions and thoughts, both healing and destructive." -- Booklist "The Grimm brothers and Franz Kafka pay a visit to Argentina in Samanta Schweblin's darkly humorous tales of people who have slipped through cracks or fallen down holes into alternate realities." --JM Coetzee Praise for Fever Dream 2017 International Man Booker Prize finalist "To call Schweblin's novella eerie and hallucinatory is only to gesture at its compact power; the fantastical here simply dilates a reality we begin to accept as terrifying and true.... Schweblin's book is suffused with haunting images and big questions." -- New York Times Book Review "Samanta Schweblin's electric story reads like a Fever Dream ." -- Vanity Fair "I picked up Fever Dream in the wee hours, and a low, sick thrill took hold of me as I read it. I was checking the locks in my apartment by page thirty. By the time I finished the book, I couldn't bring myself to look out the windows.... [T]he genius of Fever Dream is less in what it says than in how Schweblin says it, with a design at once so enigmatic and so disciplined that the book feels as if it belongs to a new literary genre altogether." --Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker "A nauseous, eerie read, sickeningly good." --Emma Cline, The Girls "Subtle, dreamy and indelibly creepy." -- The Economist (Best Books of 2017) "Never have I ever been so afraid to read a book right before bed." -- Marie Claire "A spare, hypnotic literary page-turner." -- O , The Oprah Magazine "Mesmerizing... Schweblin, though, is an artist of remarkable restraint... Schweblin renders psychological trauma with such alacrity that the conceit of a poisoned environment feels almost beside the point." --The Washington Post "This small debut novel packs a mighty, and lingering, punch.... [A] compact, but explosive, package. Schweblin delivers a skin-prickling masterclass in dread and suspense.... With virtuoso skill, well served in Megan McDowell's finely textured translation, Schweblin fuses a study in maternal anxiety with an ecological horror story. She refracts both strands through the eerie prism of her narrative, almost as if Henry James had scripted a disaster movie about toxic agribusiness." --The Economist "Elusiveness takes a terrifyingly creepy form in this dazzling short novel." --NPR "Unsettling... [T]he novel represents a perfect marriage of form and subject, in which its narrative instability -- which is so of the literary moment -- viscerally recreates the insecurities of life in the Argentine countryside today.... [Schweblin] has found ways to electrify and destabilize the physical world... [ Fever Dream is] the scariest of all things: a ghost story that is, in essence, true." --Los Angeles Times, Praise for Fever Dream 2017 International Man Booker Prize finalist "To call Schweblin's novella eerie and hallucinatory is only to gesture at its compact power; the fantastical here simply dilates a reality we begin to accept as terrifying and true....

Synopsis
"Superb" -- Vogue "What makes Schweblin so startling as a writer, however, what makes her rare and important, is that she is impelled not by mere talent or ambition but by vision." -- New York Times A powerful, eerily unsettling story collection from a major international literary star. The brilliant stories in Mouthful of Birds burrow their way into your psyche and don't let go. Samanta Schweblin haunts and mesmerizes in this extraordinary collection featuring women on the edge, men turned upside down, the natural world at odds with reality. We think life is one way, but often, it's not -- our expectations for how people act, love, fear can all be upended. Each character in Mouthful of Birds must contend with the unexpected, whether a family coming apart at the seams or a child transforming or a ghostly hellscape or a murder. Schweblin's stories have the feel of a sleepless night, where every shadow and bump in the dark take on huge implications, leaving your pulse racing, and the line between the real and the strange blurs., "Superb" -- Vogue "What makes Schweblin so startling as a writer, however, what makes her rare and important , is that she is impelled not by mere talent or ambition but by vision." -- New York Times A powerful, eerily unsettling story collection from a major international literary star.
