Halvin toimitettuna 16,80 €

Roman thought he'd found the perfect opportunity to rebel. He may have been wrong. He awakens strapped to a set of parallel bars in a richly appointed sitting room, and begins a conversation with a masked man which will change his life.

A stunning novel about the real world, and about the hidden chanels of power behind the scenes, EMPIRE V is a post-modern satirical novel exploring the cults and corruption of politics, banking and power. And not only are these cults difficult to join - it turns out they may be impossible to leave . . .

Halvin toimitettuna 20,20 €

After auditioning for the part as a singing geisha at a dubious bar, Lena and eleven other “lucky” girls are sent to work at a posh underground nightclub reserved exclusively for Russia’s upper-crust elite. They are to be a sideshow attraction to the rest of the club’s entertainment, and are billed as the “famous singing caryatids.” Things only get weirder from there. Secret ointments, praying mantises, sexual escapades, and grotesque murder are quickly ushered into the plot. The Russian literary master Victor Pelevin holds nothing back, and The Hall of the Singing Caryatids, his most recent story to be translated into English, is sure to make you squirm in your seat with utter delight.

A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia

A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia

Victor Pelevin; Andrew (TRN) Bromfield

New Directions Publishing Corporation
2010
pokkari
Victor Pelevin is "the onlyyoung Russian novelist to have made an impression in the West" (Village Voice). A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia, the second of Pelevin's Russian Booker Prize-winning short storycollections, continues his Sputnik-like rise. The writers to whom he isfrequently compared Kafka, Bulgakov, Philip K. Dick, and JosephHeller are all deft fabulists, who find fuel for their fires insociety's deadening protocol. "At the very start of the thirdsemester, in one of the lectures on Marxism-Leninism, Nikita Dozakinmade a remarkable discovery," begins the story "Sleep." Nikita'sdiscovery is that everyone around him, from parents to televisiontalk-show hosts, is actually asleep. In "Vera Pavlova's Ninth Dream,"the attendant in a public toilet finds that her researches intosolipsism have dire and diabolical consequences. In the title story, ayoung Muscovite, Sasha, stumbles upon a group of people in the forestwho can transform themselves into wolves. As Publishers Weeklynoted, "Pelevin's allegories are reminiscent of children's fairy talesin their fantastic depictions of worlds within worlds, solitary soulstossed helplessly among them." Pelevin whom Spin called "a masterabsurdist, a brilliant satirist of things Soviet, but also of thingshuman" carries us in A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia to a land of great sublimity and black comic brilliance.

Buddha's Little Finger

Buddha's Little Finger

Victor Pelevin

PENGUIN BOOKS
2001
nidottu

Halvin toimitettuna 24,90 €

Russian novelist Victor Pelevin is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most brilliant young writers at work today. His comic inventiveness and mind-bending talent prompted Time magazine to proclaim him a "psychedelic Nabokov for the cyber-age." In his third novel, Buddha's Little Finger, Pelevin has created an intellectually dazzling tale about identity and Russian history, as well as a spectacular elaboration of Buddhist philosophy. Moving between events of the Russian Civil War of 1919 and the thoughts of a man incarcerated in a contemporary Moscow psychiatric hospital, Buddha's Little Finger is a work of demonic absurdism by a writer who continues to delight and astonish.

Halvin toimitettuna 18,90 €

The short stories of Victor Pelevin are as individual, reality-warping and endlessly inventive as his novels, moving effortlessly between different genres and moods, bursting with absurd wit and existential satire. In The Blue Lantern he brings together sex-change prostitutes, melancholy animals and a cabinful of young boys obsessed by death. Sidestepping the world we take for granted, these stories show in miniature the fantastical talent for which the Observer acclaimed Pelevin's work as 'the real thing, fiction of world class'.

Halvin toimitettuna 18,90 €

As a poet, Tartarsky is a failure. As a copywriter for one of Moscow's biggest advertising firms he makes $2,000 in ten minutes - and that's before the cocaine kicks in. But as Tartarsky speeds through a surreal world of PR mercenaries, back-door deals and Zen Buddhism, he begins to suspect the disturbing truth behind it all - as suggested to him by the disembodied voice of Che Guevara. Babylon confirms Victor Pelevin's reputation as the funniest and sharpest observer of the chaos and absurdity of post-Soviet Russian life.

The Blue Lantern and Other Stories

The Blue Lantern and Other Stories

Victor Pelevin; Andrew (TRN) Bromfield

New Directions Publishing Corporation
2000
pokkari
In a recent New York Times Magazine feature article, Victor Pelevin was cited as "almost alone among his generation of Russian novelists in speaking with a voice authentically his own, and in trying to write about Russian life in its current idiom." Since the publication of this collection of stories, The Blue Lantern, Pelevin's books have been translated into many languages, and Pelevin himself has been touted as a major world writer. The Blue Lantern, winner of the Russian Little Booker Prize, gathers eight of his very best stories. Various, delightful, and uncategorizable, the stories are highly addictive. Pelevin here, as in The Yellow Arrow (New Directions, 1996), Omon Ra (ND, 1997), and A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia (ND, 1998), pays great attention to the meaning of life, in earnest and as spoof. In the title story, kids in a Pioneer camp tell terrifying bedtime stories; in "Hermit and Six-Toes," two chickens are obsessed with the nature of the universe as viewed from their poultry plant; the Young Communist League activists of "Mid-Game" change their sex to become hard-currency prostitutes; and "The Life and Adventures of Shed #XII" is the story of a storage hut whose dream is to become a bicycle.

The Life of Insects

The Life of Insects

Victor Pelevin

Faber Faber
1999
nidottu

Halvin toimitettuna 19,90 €

Set in a crumbling Soviet Black Sea resort, The Life of Insects with its motley cast of characters who exist simultaneously as human beings (racketeers, mystics, drug addicts and prostitutes) and as insects, extended the surreal comic range for which Pelevin's first novel Omon Ra was acclaimed by critics. With consummate literary skill Pelevin creates a satirical bestiary which is as realistic as it is delirious - a bitter parable of contemporary Russia, full of the probing, disenchanted comedy that makes Pelevin a vital and altogether surprising writer.

The Yellow Arrow

The Yellow Arrow

Victor Pelevin

NEW DIRECTIONS PUBLISHING CORPORATION
1997
nidottu
The main character, Andrei, is a passenger aboard the Yellow Arrow, who begins to despair over the trains ultimate destination and looks for a way out as the chapters count down. Indifferent to their fate, the other passengers carry on as usual -- trading in nickel melted down fro the carriage doors, attending the Upper Bunk avant-garde theatre, and leafing through Pasternak's Early Trains. Pelevin's art lies in the ease with which he shifts from precisely imagined science fiction to lyrical meditations on past and future. And, because he is a natural storyteller with a wonderfully absurd imagination. The Yellow Arrow is full of the ridiculous and the sublime. It is a reflective story, chilling and gripping.
