    Tieniti stretto il cappello. Potremmo arrivare molto lontano

    Chi non conosce Kurt Vonnegut aprendo questo libro potrà farsi un'idea precisa del ragazzo che era prima della terribile esperienza che ispirò il suo libro più famoso, Mattatoio n. 5, ovvero il bombardamento di Dresda mentre era prigioniero di guerra, e dell'uomo che fu dopo. Chi ha letto le sue opere capirà dalle lettere come diventò il grande scrittore che è, e avrà il privilegio di scoprirne la grande umanità dentro le pieghe più personali della sua esistenza. Qui sono raccolte, pubblicate per la prima volta in Italia, le lettere più significative che Vonnegut scrisse nell'arco di sessant'anni. Oltre che prolifico romanziere fu infatti un divertente oratore e un instancabile utilizzatore della posta. Qui si legge di come fu attratto dalla cospicua cifra corrisposta per il primo racconto da un importante settimanale, e giurò a sé stesso di diventare uno scrittore. Ma la prima vacca grassa fu seguita da un codazzo di vacche magre. Almeno fino ai grandi successi, che lo proiettarono nel firmamento della letteratura come una stella di prima grandezza. Una vita vissuta con passione e coraggio, raccontata senza risparmio come in un'autobiografia.

    Schlachthof 5: oder Der Kinderkreuzzug

    Weltliteratur im Gewand einer Graphic Novel 1969 veröffentlichte Kurt Vonnegut mit SCHLACHTHOF 5 ODER DER KINDERKREUZZUG ein literarisches Monument der Antikriegsromane, in dem er seine eigenen Erlebnisse als amerikanischer Kriegsgefangener schildert. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg überlebte er - gefangen in dem Keller eines Schlachthauses - die schrecklichen Luftangriffe auf Dresden. SCHLACHTHOF 5 ist zugleich ein possenhafter Blick auf Horror und Tragödie des Krieges, in dem Kinder an die Front und in den Tod geschickt werden, sowie eine bewegende Untersuchung dessen, was es bedeutet, ein fehlbarer Mensch zu sein: Billy Pilgrim hat Kilgore Trout gelesen und hat ein erfolgreiches Geschäft rundum die Augenoptik eröffnet. Billy Pilgrim hat eine liebevolle Familie gegründet und die Bombardierung Dresdens miterlebt. Billy Pilgrim ist auf den Planeten Tralfamadore gereist und hat Kurt Vonnegut getroffen. Billy Pilgrim ist von aller Zeit losgelöst. Ausgehend von Kurt Vonneguts bewegender Antikriegsgeschichte SCHLACHTHOF 5 übersetzen der mit dem Eisner Award ausgezeichnete Autor Ryan North (THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL) und der für den Eisner Award nominierte Zeichner Albert Monteys (UNIVERSE!) einen literarischen Klassiker in die Sprache der Comics.

    At Millennium's End

    New Essays on the Work of Kurt Vonnegut

    "Kevin Boon's At Millennium's End is a splendid collection of original essays about one of our most singular and enduring writers. The book includes a variety of new voices in Vonnegut criticism along with the most respected scholars in this area, including Jerry Klinkowitz, Donald Morse, Larry Broer, and Loree Rackstraw. Together they offer a unique perspective that makes this collection one of the best books on Vonnegut to appear in years." — Leonard Mustazza, author of Forever Pursuing Genesis: The Myth of Eden in the Novels of Kurt Vonnegut "This is a very important book in the area of Vonnegut studies. Vonnegut's long career corresponds almost exactly with the last half century, making this an appropriate point for evaluation. Besides consideration of the work of this one writer, the book addresses wider issues such as making fiction into film, narratology, and the nature of postmodernism." — Peter Reed, coeditor of The Vonnegut Chronicles: Interviews and Essays

    Armageddon in Retrospect

    The New York Times bestseller from the author of Slaughterhouse-Five-a "gripping" posthumous collection of Kurt Vonnegut's previously unpublished work on the subject of war and peace. A fitting tribute to a literary legend and a profoundly humane humorist, Armageddon in Retrospect is a collection of twelve previously unpublished writings. Imbued with Vonnegut's trademark rueful humor and outraged moral sense, the pieces range from a letter written by Vonnegut to his family in 1945, informing them that he'd been taken prisoner by the Germans, to his last speech, delivered after his death by his son Mark, who provides a warmly personal introduction to the collection. Taken together, these pieces provide fresh insight into Vonnegut's enduring literary genius and reinforce his ongoing moral relevance in today's world.Includes an Introduction by Mark Vonnegut
