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.Sprache: EnglischAnzahl der Seiten: 188Herstellungsland und -region: USHöhe: 193mmLänge: 127mmBreite: 13mmGewicht: 211gInformation fehlt?Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn Details fehlen und wir werden diese solange möglich zu unserer Beschreibung hinzufügen., Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Artikelzustand: Neu, Buchtitel: The Blue Lantern, Subtitle: Stories, Translator: Andrew Bromfield, Contributor: Andrew Bromfield (Translated by), Produktart: Taschenbuch, ISBN-10: 0811214346, EAN: 9780811214346, Genre: Fiction, Release date: 08/08/2003, Sprache: Englisch, Anzahl der Seiten: 188, Herstellungsland und -region: US, Höhe: 193mm, Länge: 127mm, Breite: 13mm, Gewicht: 211g, New Directions Publishing Corporation<
