Aan Java Road

Prometheus. Paperback. Pp: 224. Het apathische leven van de uitgedoofde Britse journalist Adrian Gyle in Hongkong bestaat al ruim twintig jaar uit eenzame avonden gevuld met dumplings en thee in restaurant Fung Shing aan Java Road, de melancholiekste straat van de stad. Gedesillusioneerd ziet Gyle hoe de stad, ooit een paradijs van weelderige diners en sociale clubs, het decor wordt van geweld, nu prodemocratische demonstraties tegen de overdracht aan de Volksrepubliek China steeds heftiger worden.Op het moment dat Gyle eenmaal heeft besloten de stad te verlaten leert hij de nieuwe vriendin van een van zijn oudste vrienden kennen. Het is de intrigerende Rebecca. Door haar raakt hij betrokken bij de protesten. Als Rebecca op een dag ineens van de aardbodem verdwenen lijkt wordt in Gyle voor het eerst in lange tijd weer de journalist wakker.In deze sfeervolle en weemoedige psychologische roman vertelt Lawrence Osborne het verhaal van een zoektocht naar een verdwenen vrouw in een verdwijnende stad, van een man die gevangenzit tussen botsende culturen en van een verloren vriendschap.Over Het glazen koninkrijk: - In de roman Het glazen koninkrijk ontdekte ik onlangs een nieuwe Graham Greene, voor zover je hem al met iemand kunt vergelijken.`Michel Krielaars, NRC - Het is een enorme prestatie om een roman zo schokkend te laten eindigen. De dag na lezing zul je nog steeds met ontzetting aan Sarahs lot denken.`The New York Times Book Review - Bangkok is de eigenlijke hoofdpersoon van deze volmaakte roman. Haar inwoners zijn vervreemd van zichzelf, glanzend aan de horizon van hun eigen levens, zich voortbewegend �"“ rusteloos, ontheemd en bang �"“ door een stadspanorama dat meer verhalen heeft dan zij kennen.`Hilary Mantel.

The Anthropology of Justice

Cambridge University Press, 1989. Paperback. Pp: 101. Law has often been seen as a relatively autonomous domain, one in which a professional elite sharply control the impact of broader social relations and cultural concepts. By contrast this study asserts that the analysis of legal systems, like the analysis of social systems generally, requires an understanding of the concepts and relationships encountered in everyday social life. Using as its substantive base the Islamic law courts of Morocco, the study explores the cultural basis of judicial discretion. From the proposition that in Arabic culture relationships are subject to considerable negotiation the idea is developed that the shaping of facts in a court of law, the use of local experts, and the organization of the judicial structure all contribute to the reliance on local concepts and personnel to inform the range of judicial discretion. By drawing comparisons with the exercise of judicial discretion in America the study demonstrates that cultural concepts deeply inform the evaluation of issues and the shapes of a judge`s decision. 'The Anthropology of Justice' is not only the first full-scale study of the actual operations of the actual operations of a modern Islamic law court anywhere in the Arab world but a demonstration of the theoretical basis on which a cultural analysis of the law may be founded.

Lawrence Maxwell Krauss 216667

Atom

Little Brown, 2001. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 305. Now in paperback: the book in which the author of the national bestseller The Physics of Star Trek traces the history of the cosmos by telling the story of a single oxygen atom-from the beginning of time to the present moment and deep into the future. Writing with grace and wit, Lawrence Krauss explicates cutting-edge science as he takes us on a thrilling, millennia-spanning journey that tells the truth of matter-what it is, where it came from, and where it's going. A book that readers of The Elegant Universe will read with fascination and pleasure. As he did in The Physics of Star Trek, Krauss once again makes reading about physics fun for scientists and nonscientists alike. Krauss has hosted documentaries for The Learning Channel, Paramount, Nova, the BBC, and Discovery, and a multi-part documentary series on ATOM is planned for PBS. Krauss is a contributor to The New York Times, Natural History, and Discover. ISBN: 9780316499460. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Lawrence Durrell 21203

The Avignon Quintet. Monsieur

1992. Pp: 1367. This is the one-volume edition of five novels in a kaleidoscopic sequence first published between 1974 and 1985. The Avignon Quintet is an achievement comparable to Durrell's masterpiece The Alexandria Quartet, with which it has subtle affiliations. Avignon and the ancient kingdom of Provence take the place of Alexandria and the eastern Mediterranean, although significant episodes in the five books are set in the Egyptian desert, Venice, Paris, Vienna and Geneva. In one of the books, Constance, there is a memorable picture of life in southern France under the Nazi occupation. Durrell's prime themes of 'fiction' and 'reality' are shuffled and intercut with those of human identity and sexuality, Freud, the cult of the Gnostics, the heresy of the Templars and their missing treasure, and other bizarre and extraordinary matters - all rendered with great ingenuity and ribald humour by a supreme descriptive writer and novelist.

Lawrence Weschler 45556

Boggs

University of Chicago Press, 1999. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 176. In this highly entertaining book, Lawrence Weschler chronicles the antics of J. S. G. Boggs, an artist whose consuming passion is money, or perhaps more precisely, value. Boggs draws money-paper notes in standard currencies from all over the world-and tries to spend his drawings. It is a practice that regularly lands him in trouble with treasury police around the globe and provokes fundamental questions regarding the value of art and the value of money. "Lawrence Weschler, who evidently admires [Boggs]-something not difficult to do-has written what may be the most extraordinary biography imaginable: "weird," to use a favourite Boggs word. It does something towards changing our entire outlook on money and its uses. And the reader is left with an uneasy feeling that anything in this world can be created by drawing it." "Ruth Rendell, Daily Telegraph "As ideal a subject matter as money is for Boggs' genius, Boggs is as ideal a topic for Weschler's considerable talents. A writer any less lucid than Weschler would smudge the lines, making of Boggs a counterculture caricature or a high-art huckster. And a writer any less confident would knock the balance, making academic mud pies of Boggs' enlightened chaos." "Jonathon Keats, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "[A] witty and engaging chronicle. Weschler's fascinating account of the artist as agent provocateur demonstrates both the significance of Boggs's art and his determination to continue his unusual critique of the idea of money." "Henry Wessells, Washington Post Book World "[A] witty, excellently written account of a bizarre and fascinating snippet of modern life." "Paul Ormerod, Times Higher Education Supplement "The book, like the artist, challenges people to pause and consider the extent to which the economic bedrock of everyday life is in part a confusing welter of artistic abstractions. It's a work that is at once informative, entertaining, and provocative-a reading experience, one might say, of rather good value." "Toby Lester, Atlantic Monthly "[A] fascinating tale, especially in these days of fluctuating currency rates, the euro, and inexplicable Net-stock valuations." "Paul Lukas, Fortune Lawrence Weschler, a recipient of the prestigious Lannan Literary Award for 1998, is the author of numerous books, including Calamities of Exile: Three Nonfiction Novellas, and Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder, which was a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
