Modern fictionClass number: 853.914 Abstract: Ngjarjet e këtij romani zhvillohen në vitet 60' deri më 1984, nga mjediset e një shtëpie botuese milaneze deri tek ato të një muzeu parisian, ku është ekspozuar Lavjerrësi i Fukoit. Po ngjarjet ndodhin edhe në vitet 1943 deri më 1945, në një fshat midis Langeve dhe Monferratos. Po ashtu nga viti 1344 deri më 2000, përgjatë rrugëtimit të tempullarëve e kalorësve të Trëndafil – Kryqit për pushtimin e botës. Zhvillohen edhe natën e 23 qershorit 1984, së pari në vendrojën e periskopit, pastaj në vendrojën e Statujës së Lirisë, në Konservatorin e Arteve dhe Zejeve në Paris. Zënë fill natën mes 26 dhe 27 qershorit të të njëjtit vit, në të njëjtën shtëpi fshati që Jakopo Belboja, protagonisti, ka trashëguar nga xhaxhai i tij Karloja. Me pak fjalë: tre redaktorë botues, në Milano, pasi janë shoqëruar si tepër me shkrimtarë që botojnë "nga xhepi i tyre", që u përkushtohen shkencave okulte, shoqërive të fshehta dhe komploteve kozmike, vendosin të bëjnë, pa e vrarë mendjen shumë, një Plan. Por, dikush i merr seriozisht. Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=18054 Copies

Title : Revenge of the lawn : stories : 1962-1970 Material Type: printed text Authors: Richard Brautigan, Author Publisher: Edinburgh : Canongate Publication Date: 1997 Pagination: xiv, 146 p. Size: 21 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-1-84195-866-8 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Modern fiction
Short storiesClass number: 813.54 Abstract: "Revenge of the Lawn" is Richard Brautigan in miniature and contains no fewer than 62 ultra-short stories set mainly in Tacoma, Washington (where the author grew up) and in the flower-powered San Francisco of the late fifties and early sixties. In their compacted form, which ranges from the murderously short "The Scarlatti Tilt" to one-page wonders like the sexually poignant poetry of "An Unlimited Supply of 35 Millimetre Film", Brautigan's stories take us into a world where his fleeting glimpses of everyday strangeness leave stories and characters resonating in our heads long after they're gone. "Revenge of the Lawn" is Brautigan's only collection of short fiction and is generally regarded as the most autobiographical of his published work.

Title : Slaughterhouse-five, or, The children's crusade : a duty-dance with death Material Type: printed text Authors: Kurt Vonnegut, Author Publisher: London : Vintage Books Publication Date: 2005 Pagination: 177 p. Size: 21 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-09-980020-0 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: English literature
Modern fictionClass number: 813.54 Abstract: In this classic novel that still resonates today, Vonnegut introduces us to the hapless Billy Pilgrim, stuck in the misery of the Second World War, a tragi-comic hero belittled and abused by his soldier colleagues as they retreat behind enemy lines. Unarmed, in a daze of misery, hunger and exhaustion, Billy stumbles alongside the obnoxious Roland Weary as he relates his knowledge of torture methods. Just as it seems that Billy's ordeal can get no worse, he is captured by the Germans and force-marched to a prison camp. It is at this point that his brain decides to take a holiday and he becomes Billy Pilgrim, time traveller. As the theatre of war enacts its ghastly tableaux against a backdrop of brutality and death, Billy tumbles in and out of his life, as it was, as it is, as it will be. Billy sees himself as a child, a newly wed on honeymoon, the only survivor of a plane crash, and a zoological specimen on the planet Tralfamadore. War-time Billy is taken to Dresden, there to work as a POW, sleeping in 'Slaughterhouse 5' in a city unaware of its soon-to-be-notorious fate. Already unhinged by the diabolical acts of cruelty that mankind seems capable of inflicting on itself, he is witness to the destruction of Dresden before being sent home to resume life as normal. Billy continues to stumble through an existence he doesn't seem to want or enjoy, until the moment comes when he tell the world that death is merely another dimension - the aliens who kidnapped him have told him so. Vonnegut's deadly humour and caustic observations on a war he himself participated in reveal its lunacy, as humans become units of cruelty, driven only by the will to survive. Billy Pilgrim, helpless in a world he does not understand, is a powerful protagonist in this masterpiece of American writing.
