Peleando a la contra

Autor: Charles Bukowski

Número de Páginas: 447

Durante cinco décadas, los libros de Charles Bukowski fueron mordientes crónicas del lado salvaje de la vida, y le ganaron millones de devotos lectores en todo el mundo. Peleando a la contra reúne por primera vez sus mejores textos autobiográficos –cuentos, novelas y poemas–, y arroja una nueva luz sobre la vida y la obra del «poeta laureado del underground de Los Ángeles» (Los Angeles Times), uno de los más auténticos e insobornables escritores de nuestro tiempo. Trabajos inusuales, mujeres muy poco comunes, inspiradas perversiones, la locura de la vida cotidiana y los triunfos literarios constituyen las hebras de la trama «bukowskiana», entretejidas de manera fascinante. Los textos siguen un orden cronológico, que no es el de las fechas de su publicación, sino el de los acontecimientos y períodos de la vida del autor que los originaron. Peleando a la contra trasciende, pues, el ámbito de las antologías para convertirse en unas auténticas memorias de Bukowski (compiladas por su fiel editor norteamericano John Martin) que arrancan con su primer recuerdo consciente, cuando en 1922 gateaba debajo de una mesa, y culminan en las sabias e irónicas reflexiones de...

Le Retour du vieux dégueulasse

Autor: Charles Bukowski

Número de Páginas: 351

En 1969, Charles Bukowski, ecrivain underground inconnu du grand public, fut projete sur la scene internationale avec la parution du Journal d'un vieux degueulasse. Cette premiere edition n'avait repris qu'une quarantaine des chroniques qu'il avait ecrites durant vingt ans. Le present volume regroupe celles qui seraient injustement tombees dans l'oubli. Transgressant tous les tabous, leur auteur nous livre, non sans humour, ses explorations de toutes les formes de sexualite, de toutes les - perversions -, de toutes les - deviances -."Avalez cul sec ces nouvelles ou la fanfaronnade le dispute au ridicule, les emportements coleriques aux transports erotiques. Oui, il y a du grotesque chez Bukowski. Mais un grotesque assume." Macha Sery, Le Monde."Un souffle decapant. Hubert Prolongeau, Le Magazine litteraire. L ecriture de Bukowski n'a, cinquante apres, rien perdu de sa force revolutionnaire." Didier Jacob, Le Nouvel Observateur."

'Fear makes me a writer, fear and a lack of confidence' Charles Bukowski chronicled the seedy underside of the city in which he spent most of his life, Los Angeles. His heroes were the panhandlers and hustlers, the drunks and the hookers, his beat the racetracks and strip joints and his inspiration a series of dead-end jobs in warehouses, offices and factories. It was in the evenings that he would put on a classical record, open a beer and begin to type... Brought up by a violent father, Bukowski suffered childhood beatings before developing horrific acne and withdrawing into a moody adolescence. Much of his young life epitomised the style of the Beat generation - riding Greyhound buses, bumming around and drinking himself into a stupor. During his lifetime he published more than forty-five books of poetry and prose, including the novels Post Office, Factotum, Women and Pulp. His novels sold millions of copies worldwide in dozens of languages. In this definitive biography Barry Miles, celebrated author of Jack Kerouac: King of the Beats, turns his attention to the exploits of this hard-drinking, belligerent wild man of literature.

Charles Bukowski disliked academics, as this academic and readable book points out from page one onward of its introduction, "Charles Bukowski vs. American Ways." Begun before Bukowski died in 1994, Charles Bukowski: Autobiographer, Gender Critic, Iconoclast was the first doctoral dissertation on his prose and poetry up to that date, and it is offered now for fans and academics alike-no more need for black-market sales. Chapter One, "Placing Bukowski," introduces Bukowski's amazing life and career and relates his work to influential predecessors (primarily Ernest Hemingway and John Fante) and four contemporaries (Raymond Carver, Kurt Vonnegut, Frederick Exley, and Hunter Thompson). Chapter Two, "Bukowski Among the Autobiographers," pursues Bukowski's comprehensive autobiographical project. Harnessing Timothy Dow Adams' concept of "strategic lying," the chapter follows Bukowski's thinly veiled personae through three stages-first through the attention-getting "Dirty Old Man," then responding to the attention and (re)defining himself, finally culminating in "Henry Chinaski," the hero of Bukowski's five autobiographical novels. Chapter Three, "Problems of Masculinity: At 'Home,' at...

Autor: Charles Bukowski

Número de Páginas: 81

Garras del paraíso, de la colección «Poesía portátil», es el reflejo poético de una existencia vivida al límite. Charles Bukowski hunde su lírica en las drogas, el sexo y el realismo sucio de las clases más oprimidas, una desolación que siempre buscó la belleza.

“Wordsworth, Whitman, William Carlos Williams, and the Beats in their respective generations moved poetry toward a more natural language. Bukowski moved it a little farther.” –Los Angeles Times Book Review A collection of five of Charles Bukowski’s most popular works, including: Pulp: Opening with Lady Death entering the gumshoe-writer's seedy office in pursuit of a writer named Celine, this novel demonstrates Bukowski's own brand of humor. Barfly: The screenplay of the 1987 movie. Ham on Rye: Charles Bukowski details the long, lonely years of his own hardscrabble youth in the raw voice of alter ego Henry Chinaski. Post Office: "It began as a mistake." By middle age, Henry Chinaski has lost more than twelve years of his life to the U.S. Postal Service. Women: After decades of slacking off at low-paying dead-end jobs, Chinaski sees his poetic star rising at last. Now, at fifty, he is reveling in his sudden rock-star life.

Come On In!

Autor: Charles Bukowski

Número de Páginas: 305

Bukowski's unmistakable charisma - an ex-down-and-outer who wrote of booze and loneliness in maverick, confident free verse - made him one of the world's most popular poets long before he died in 1994. More than a decade later, death has not slowed his production. This collection is selected from an archive of verse that the author left to be published after his death. It includes poems of love and sex, advice to so-called losers (as he once was) to have confidence in themselves (as he did), gambling laments and humbling poems accepting his own imminent ultimate full stop.

Contes de la folie ordinaire

Autor: Charles Bukowski

Número de Páginas: 247

Ce recueil de nouvelles, adapté au cinéma par Marco Ferreri en 1981, relate les années d'errance de Bukowski à travers l'Amérique des marginaux. A la faveur d'anecdotes sulfureuses, de bars louches en chambres d'hôtels minables, il décrit sans concession l'existence d'êtres surnageant dans l'alcool et la pauvreté. L'amour, l'affection et l'amitié se fraient un chemin dans la crudité, sans cérémonie sociale.

Souvenirs d'un pas grand-chose

Autor: Charles Bukowski

Número de Páginas: 374

Dans Souvenirs d'un pas grand-chose, dédié à "tous les pères", Bukowski passe sur le divan : il se raconte, sans délirer, tel qu'il faut, en commençant par le début. Un premier souvenir ? Allemagne, 1922. Et puis c'est l'ardre de Noël, des bougies, des oiseaux, une étoile. L'Amérique ? La Ford T de son père. L'école où il découvre la violence, la cruauté, l'injustice. Trop de saloperies à avaler d'un seul coup.

Factotum

Autor: Charles Bukowski

Número de Páginas: 212

“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author “He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriter One of Charles Bukowski's best, this beer-soaked, deliciously degenerate novel follows the wanderings of aspiring writer Henry Chinaski across World War II-era America. Deferred from military service, Chinaski travels from city to city, moving listlessly from one odd job to another, always needing money but never badly enough to keep a job. His day-to-day existence spirals into an endless litany of pathetic whores, sordid rooms, dreary embraces, and drunken brawls, as he makes his bitter, brilliant way from one drink to the next. Charles Bukowski's posthumous legend continues to grow. Factotum is a masterfully vivid evocation of slow-paced, low-life urbanity and alcoholism, and an excellent introduction to the fictional world of Charles Bukowski.

J'écris sur tout le reste, tout le temps: un chien errant dans la rue, une femme qui assassine son mari, les pensées et les sentiments d'un violeur à l'instant où il mord dans son hamburger; la vie à l'usine, la vie dans les rues et dans les chambres des pauvres, des invalides et des fous, toutes ces conneries, j'écris beaucoup de conneries dans le genre...

Escritos de un viejo indecente

Autor: Charles Bukowski

Número de Páginas: 210

Con sus relatos, reunidos en este volumen, escritos en total libertad para la revista underground Open City, Charles Bukowski se convirtió de inmediato en una celebridad «una leyenda viviente» (New York Review of Books), cuya fama fue aumentando vertiginosamente con la publicación de sus otros libros de relatos y poemas: «el sucesor de Miller y Burroughs», comentó Le Nouvel Observateur. Con su brutalidad, su salvaje y tierno sentido del humor, su tremenda sinceridad, Bukowski —borracho, enloquecido, atrapado en una sociedad cuyos presuntos valores le asquean— consigue, con su estilo descarnado y escueto, conectar inmediatamente con el lector.

Charles Bukowski didn't write about high society or the life most people will never live; he wrote about the ordinary man--the ones you are more likely to see living next to you than glamorized on TV. He wrote what he knew and he wrote it well. Bukowski knew Los Angeles—women—the drudgery of work—and drinking…lots of drinking! This biography takes you inside the life and times of Bukowski, and helps you understand how he composed some of the greatest fiction and poetry of the past 50 years.
