Da manden kommer i fængsel for bedrageri, flytter Nell med datteren til London, og her skaber hun sin egen tilværelse indenfor Teater-, litteratur- og TV-verdenen

Alex Mendez, bored with the business empire he's created in London, leaves his wife Lalka behind and retreats to an isolated chateau in Provence. Both Polish Jews - and now with time on their hands, as they seemingly have little left to share - they seek their own personal revelations. Whilst Alex broods in Provence, gradually becoming aware of the chateau's ambiguous history during the Second World War, Lalka sets out for Poland with journalist friend Katie. But what was planned as a holiday and an assertion of independence comes to have other significance. A powerful exploration of the current and past lives of a group of people scarred by the result of war, Children of the Rose is a strong, emotional novel - written with Feinstein's characteristically delicate, brilliant prose - about the way in which memories can destroy lives and also, ultimately, provide redemption.

Evokes old loves, intense friendships, literary ghosts, and a lifetime in the landscape of the 20th century. The poems in this collection try to draw a coherent shape out of inner uncertainties. Carcarnet also publish Elaine Feinstein's "Selected Poems".

This is the work of an important poet. Widely recognised for her insightful, even incendiary, prose theory and compelling fiction, Elana Dykewomon's brilliantly crafted, elegant poetry is showcased here. Nothing Will Be As Sweet As The Taste collects new and earlier verse. Steeped in the intense energy of lesbian activism, these poems contextualise a vital period in 20th century history. Intimate, ironic or explicitly sexual, this is riveting poetry. Elana's is truly an original voice, balancing vision with hilarity, intellect with warmth.

"The Book Against Death is the work of a lifetime: a collection of Elias Canetti's powerful, disarming, and often bleakly comic observations, diatribes, and musings on and against death. Evoking despair, melancholy, and fury, Canetti examines the inevitable demise of all beings-from the ant, the fish, and the worm to an executioner, a court painter, and a Greek god-while fiercely protesting the mass deaths incurred during war and the willingness of despots to wield death as power. Interspersed with material from philosophers and writers such as Goethe, Walter Benjamin, and Robert Walser, The Book Against Death is ultimately a moving affirmation of the value of life itself"--

The second volume in the Nobel Prize winning author Elias Canetti's trilogy of memoirs, The Torch in My Ear This book presents an account of Canetti's young manhood, of his arrival in Vienna in the early 1920s, of his schooling, and of the beginning of his life as a writer.

"Rabbi Eliezer of Beaugency represents the pinnacle of twelfth-century rabbinic exegesis of the Bible. A proponent of the literal school, Eliezer completely abandoned traditional rabbinic Midrash in his explication of biblical texts and innovated a literary approach that anticipated the fruits of modern scholarship in virtually every paragraph. This volume presents, for the first time in English translation, an extended window into the oeuvre of this master interpreter"--
