DUMITRASCU, Aurel

DIVINA PARADOXALIA.

Editura: Paralela 45

Anul aparitiei: 2006

Poet deosebit de inzestrat,rapus de o boala nemiloasa la numai 35 de ani,Aurel Dumitrascu (1955-1990)a fost unul dintre reformatorii discursului poetic al anilor’80 din secolul trecut,reusind,in scurta sa activitate creatoare,sa faca viabila o opera de o coerenta exemplara.Promotor al ‘’ostentatiei deconstructive’’ si al ‘’sarjei sarcastice’’,cum il considera criticul Al.Cistelecan,Aurel Dumitrascu este,in nu mai mica masura un poet al realului si al vitalitatii metafizice.In timpul vietii a publicat un singur volum de poezie, toate celelalte aparitii fiind postume.Este prezent in toate antologiile de poezie romaneasca publicate dupa 1990,fiind un nume de referinta al literaturii optzeciste.In antologia de fata sunt prezentate texte din volumele Furtunile memoriei(1984),Biblioteca de Nord(1986),Mesagerul(1992),Tratatul de eretica(1995) si Fiara melancolica(1999).O recuperare necesara a unui poet care,dupa cum scria Gheorghe Grigurcu’’a refacu traiectoria intunecata a creatorilor morti de timpuriu”

CARAMAN, Stefan

PIANO MAN.

Editura: Paralela 45

Anul aparitiei: 2000

Afirmat dupa 1995 ca prozator si dramaturg (prin volumele "Suflet de rocker", 1996; "Zapp?", 1997; "Sambata dupa-amiaza la tara", 1998; "Trei starturi ratate", 1999), Stefan Caraman e un autor prolific care revine cu o noua culegere de proza. Volumul de fata se compune din trei povestiri si un miniroman, din care au fost deja publicate fragmente in revistele Art-Panorama, Tomis si Playboy. Autorul se dovedeste si in aceasta carte acelasi povestitor spontan, orientat spre situatii de viata cotidiana, promovand un limbaj frust, dezinvolt, ce nu evita violenta si vulgaritatea.

AUSTER, Paul

LEVIATAN.

Editura: Paralela 45

Anul aparitiei: 2009

„Acum sase zile, un om a sarit in aer pe marginea unei sosele din nordul Wisconsin-ului.” Asa incepe povestea pe care Peter Aaron o spune despre prietenul sau cel mai bun, Benjamin Sachs. Sachs avea un mariaj pentru care Aaron il invidia si o minte pe care acesta din urma o admira. Si apoi, dintr-odata, dupa o cadere ce i-a fost aproape fatala – care s-ar putea sa fi fost intentionata sau nu –, Sachs dispare. Iar Aaron trebuie sa puna acum cap la cap detaliile vietii lui Sachs care l-au dus la moarte. Singurul sau scop este de a spune adevarul si de a-l pastra, inainte ca investigatorii cazului sa inventeze o varianta a lor. „Stilul elegant in care Auster isi construieste subiectul, jongleria sa cu idei si placerea senzuala cu care scrie te fac sa nu lasi cartea din mana.” Chicago Tribune Paul Auster (n. 1947) este o personalitate a spatiului literar american si francez, scriitor prolific, eseist, romancier, poet si scenarist. Numit „Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres”, Paul Auster imbina armonios artele, fiind autorul scenariilor pentru filmele Lulu on the Bridge si Brooklyn Boogie.

Erich von Daniken

Chariots of the Gods

Editura: Berkley Publishing Group

Anul aparitiei: 1999

THE SEVEN MILLION COPY BESTSELLER The groundbreaking classic that introduced the theory that ancient Earth established contact with aliens. Immediately recognized as a work of monumental importance, Chariots of the Gods endures as proof that Earth has been visited repeatedly by advanced aliens from other worlds. Here, Erich von Daniken examines ancient ruins, lost cities, spaceports, and a myriad of hard scientific facts that point to extraterrestrial intervention in human history. Most incredible of all, however, is von Daniken's theory that we are the descendants of these galactic pioneers--and he reveals the archeological discoveries that prove it... The dramatic discoveries and irrefutable evidence: - An alien astronaut preserved in a pyramid - Thousand-year-old spaceflight navigation charts - Computer astronomy from Incan and Egyptian ruins - A map of the land beneath the ice cap of Antarctica - A giant spaceport discovered in the Andes Includes remarkable photos that document mankind's first contact with aliens at the dawn of civilization.
