Paperback. The legendary Queen Scheherazade told her seductive tales for a thousand and one nights. The characters in Arnold Zable's haunting book emerged from the chaos of World War II to tell their own stories of profound love and loss. When Martin Davis, a journalist, sets out to discover those narratives he has no idea of the remarkable people he will meet: Avram and Masha, the proprietors of Cafe Scheherazade; Yossel stalking the streets of Warsaw and Shanghai; Laizer exiled to vast Siberian forests; and gentle Zalman, searching for the moment when all journeys end. All cast their spell in the cafe by the sea. A cafe whose name will itself reveal the moving story of how Avram and Masha met and fell in love. At once fable and history, Cafe Scheherazade takes the reader on a journey which ranges from Kobe to Paris, from Vilna to Melbourne. It remains faithful to the experiences of Jewish survivors, whose lives reflect the courage of refugees everywhere, and confirms Arnold Zable's status as a master storyteller. These are USED books.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'An old cliche¿ talks about how a reader does not need to leave her/his chair to travel the world. In his collection of poetry Scheherazade Plays the Chestnut Tree Cafe, Boyd Bauman's poems convert the chair into a TARDIS to whisk us away into his examinations of world travels. Alongside these, Bauman shows us his rural Kansas upbringing, too, and the times of unknowing in the midst of organized religion and ranch-talk. He lends a lens to the racism of that childhood world: though we didn't have a clue / who a queer was / and what would a black man / want with a town like ours. rough these complications examined in this work, we get to see the worlds we know, the worlds that need revealed, and the worlds we haven't visited but understand what we do is to survive, just as Bauman shares with us through looking at Iceland's poet Egil: Poets are forged / simply by bearing witness / to the nature of this land, / this land of temper / and skäld (other poets).'-Dennis Etzel, Jr., author of is Removed Utopia.…
