the insufferable gaucho roberto bolano

‘If you''re going to say what you want to say, you''re going to hear what you don''t want to hear...’A rat policeman comes to the startling realisation that each rat is out for themselves. An elderly judge gives up his job in the city for an improbable return to the family farm in the Pampas. An elusive film-maker and the little-known Argentinian novelist whose work he''s plagiarized for years, finally fall into confrontation.Unpredictable and daring, highly controlled and yet somehow haywire, the five short stories included in The Insufferable Gaucho are some of Roberto Bolaño''s best. In addition, two essays are included: provocative and often scathing, they too are alive with Bolaño''s trademark humour, violence and utter faith in the power of the written word.TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS‘An exemplary literary rebel’ New York Review of Books‘A master of the short form’ Independent‘Bolaño wrote with the high-voltage first-person braininess of a Saul Bellow and an extreme subversive vision of his own’ New York Times

National BestsellerIn this dazzling novel, the book that established his international reputation, Roberto Bolaño tells the story of two modern-day Quixotes--the last survivors of an underground literary movement, perhaps of literature itself--on a tragicomic quest through a darkening, entropic universe: our own. The Savage Detectives is an exuberant, raunchy, wildly inventive, and ambitious novel from one of the greatest Latin American authors of our age.

When Oscar Amalfitano begins an affair with one of his students, he has no idea where it will lead.More than his turbulent revolutionary past, or the death of his beautiful wife, the scandalous exposure of this relationship will change him for ever. Forced to flee Barcelona with his seventeen-year-old daughter, Amalfitano finds himself in Santa Teresa, a sprawling, mythical town on the Mexico-US border, populated by mysterious characters and haunted by dark tales of murdered women.Returning to the the world and characters of 2666, Bolaño''s masterpiece, Woes of the True Policeman explores the the power of art, memory and desire - and marks a kaleidoscopic, lyrical and darkly humorous last act in one of the great oeuvres of world literature.TRANSLATED BY NATASHA WIMMER‘Hallucinatory, manic, fearful, comic...

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY CHRIS POWER‘A master of the short form’ IndependentWide-ranging, suggestive, and ever-daring, Roberto Bolaño's short stories map out the dark terrain that he would go on to explore in his novellas and epic novels. From melancholic portraits of exile and its folklore to a rogue’s gallery of desperate characters futilely attempting to unearth the animating secrets of the world, each of Bolaño’s short fictions adds yet another door, a window, a secret passage onto the sinister, eerie universe that Bolaño brought to life across his body of work. Bringing together Last Evenings on Earth, The Return and The Insufferable Gaucho, as well as Bolaño’s posthumously published stories, this new book marks the first time these fictions have been collected in one edition, allowing for a major reappraisal of the vital place that the short story commands for Bolaño’s literary legacy. ‘Bolaño was a flat-out genius, one of the greatest writers of our time’ Paul Auster‘Bolaño was a game changer: his field was politics, poetry and melancholia . . . and his writing was always unparalleled’ Mariana Enríquez

Touto knihou, jež vyšla roku 1996, na sebe dnes slavný Roberto Bolaño poprvé upoutal pozornost. Formálně je to slovník spisovatelů, ale žádná slavná jména skutečných latinskoamerických autorů, kteří si tak či onak zadali s fašistickou ideologií, tam nenajdeme. Není to ani sbírka esejů, ale ani román či povídky, nýbrž zvláštní hybridní žánr: soubor typicky bolaňovských, záměrně znejistělých vyprávění, kde banální a všední historky nabývají děsivých a groteskních rozměrů. Bolano tu má blízko k Borgesovi, jenž také věrohodně vyprávěl o ne-existujících spisovatelích, textech a historických osobnostech a s radostí ze hry vymýšlel příručky typu Fantastické zoologie. Bolaño si navíc hraje se jmény, která se někdy dají v textu dešifrovat, sarkasticky se šklebí a popichuje,ale hlavně propadá - a s ním i čtenáři - kouzlu slova a chrlí fascinující litanie a obrazy.

‘This is where the story should end, but life is not as kind as literature...’A journey to Acapulco gradually becomes a descent into the underworld. An elderly South American writer instructs a protégé in the subterfuges of entering work for provincial literary prizes. A litany unfolds, offering sixty-nine reasons why not to dance with Pablo Neruda.‘The melancholy folklore of exile,’ as Roberto Bolaño once put it, pervades the fourteen haunting stories of Last Evenings on Earth. Set in the Chilean exile diaspora of Latin America and Europe, and peopled by Bolano's beloved ‘failed generation,’ this collection was the first to introduce the English-speaking world to Bolaño’s immeasurable gifts as a short-story writer.

Pain, in love and eager to impress, agrees to help. But on a night that ''smells of something strange'', things soon go awry...A wonderfully oneiric novella that blends the finest of Edgar Allan Poe with Jorge Luis Borges and Bolano''s truly astonishing alchemical gifts, Monsieur Pain is a gripping noir conspiracy as rich as it is strange.TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS‘A surrealist nightmare, with overtones of Edgar Allan Poe and Raymond Chandler’ The TimesThis marvellous little yarn is dark, mysterious and rich in surprises...

Chilan Roberto Bolañ (1953-2003), básník a prozaik, je v současnosti zřejmě nejvýraznější postavou latinskoamerické literatury. V této knize vypráví příběh dvou "divokých detektivů", básníků-desperátů Artura Belana a Odyssea Limy a jejich přátel, umělců a stoupenců "žaludečního realismu neboli žaludného či záludného realismu, někdy též bludrealismu", kteří se vydávají po stopách tajemné básnířky Cesáreji Tinajerové. Hledání - iniciační cesta, bildungsroman, citová výchova - trvá dvacet let, od roku 1976 do roku 1996, a prostřednictvím množství postav se rozvětvuje do změti podivných, někdy neukončených příběhů, tvořících "totální" román, kde se dá najít úplně všechno: lásky, smrti a vraždy, blázince a univerzity, zmizení a objevování, literatura i život. Dějištěm je Mexiko (kde Bolaño vyrůstal), Nikaragua, USA, Francie, Španělsko, Rakousko, Izrael, Afrika.

Mass-murdering authors. Writers at the head of a football-hooligan ring. A pilot who crafts his poetry in the sky.A tour de force of black humour and imaginary erudition, Nazi Literature in the Americas presents itself as a biographical dictionary of pan-American writers who espoused extreme right-wing ideologies in the 20th and 21st centuries.Terrifyingly witty and remarkably inventive, this is the virtuosic, one-of-a-kind masterpiece which brought Bolaño fame throughout the Spanish-speaking world.TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS''The best and weirdest kind of literary game...

Auxilio Lacouture is trapped.For twelve days she hides alone in a lavatory on the fourth floor of her university. Staring at the floor, she begins a heartfelt and feverish tale: she is the Mother of Mexican poetry.A highly charged first-person semi-hallucinatory novella, Amulet is a potent stream of consciousness through which the poets of Mexico rage and swirl. Filled with wild, dark literary prophecies, heroic poets, mad poets, artists ‘choked by the brilliance of youth’, Auxilio’s passionate narration – both heartbreaking and lyrical – is suffused with the essence of Roberto Bolaño’s art.TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS''Encapsulates the violence and tragedy of recent Latin American history'' The Times‘Roberto Bolaño redefined the form of the novel in his masterpiece 2666; with the hallucinatory narrative of Amulet, he reimagines what literature can become’ New Statesman

Román Amulet navazuje na Divoké detektivy, podobně jako Vzdálená hvězda navazovala na Nacistickou literaturu v Americe. Vypravěčkou je Auxilio Lacouture, uruguayská básnířka a "matka všech mexických básníků", která se v září roku 1968 při policejním zásahu na mexické univerzitě schovala na záchodě, kde přečkala několik dnů. Čas strávený na záchodě filozofické fakulty se stane tunelem času, který ji přenáší do minulých let v Mexiku i do těch, která má ještě před sebou. Ve strhujícím toku vyprávění, které sám Bolaño přirovnává k partituře pro jediný nástroj, kdežto Divocí detektivové a 2666 jsou skladba pro orchestr, se objevují slavní skuteční i smyšlení básníci, malíři a další umělci včetně Artura Belana, a vypráví se také o cestování, o severním pólu a zapomenutých vraždách. Amulet je Bolañvým šestým románem, vydaným poprvé roku 1999 v nakladatelství Anagrama.

A sparkling new translation of the classic work on violence and revolution as seen through mythology and artThe Ruin of Kasch takes up two subjects: "the first is Talleyrand, and the second is everything else," wrote Italo Calvino when the book first appeared in 1983. Hailed as one of those rare books that persuade us to see our entire civilization in a new light, its guide is the French statesman Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, who knew the secrets of the ancien régime and all that came after, and was able to adapt the notion of "legitimacy" to the modern age. Roberto Calasso follows him through a vast gallery of scenes set immediately before and after the French Revolution, making occasional forays backward and forward in time, from Vedic India to the porticoes of the Palais-Royal and to the killing fields of Pol Pot, with appearances by Goethe and Marie Antoinette, Napoleon and Marx, Walter Benjamin and Chateaubriand.

From the 1300s to the beginning of the 1600s, scholars started to question what they knew and looked to literature and historical texts to develop new ideas for why things were the way they were. In just a short amount of time, the foundations for European life were uprooted and examined, leading people, including Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, to explore new ways of thinking and being. Readers will learn why the Renaissance was such a pivotal time in European history and how it still influences us.
