Ice
There is nothing else like it ... This ice is not psychological ice or metaphysical ice; here the loneliness of childhood has been magicked into a physical reality as hallucinatory as the Ancient Mariner's.

Sleep Has His House
'Her writing is magnificent' Telegraph 'A testament of remarkable, if feverish beauty' Guardian In an unhappy suburban household, a young girl begins to retreat into a nighttime world of her own imagining. As her daytime life deteriorates, she decides to take up permanent residence in the house of sleep, where rooms change position and dream-tigers prowl. But there are institutions determined to control her. Will they stop her coming home to the dark forever? A kaleidoscopic autobiographical narrative, written in the language of childhood dreams once known to us all, this is a work of devastating loneliness and stunning imaginative freedom. Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe. Anna Kavan (1901-1968) was born Helen Woods, the only child of wealthy British expatriates, and grew up travelling through Europe and America. She began publishing under her married name, Helen Ferguson, having left her husband in Burma and returned with her son to live in England. After a mental breakdown in the 1930s she began writing under a new name, taken from one of her characters, and with a new style. She continued writing for another three decades, while frequently using heroin and undergoing several rounds of psychiatric hospitalisation. She died shortly after the publication of Ice, her most celebrated work, also published by Pushkin Press.

Julia ve Bazuka
Gülüyor. Julia her zaman tehlikeye güler. Siringasi varken hicbir sey onu korkutamaz. Korktugu zamanlari neredeyse unuttu. Anna Kavan, Julia ve Bazukada yer alan, ilk bakista birbirinden bagimsiz görünen ama görünmez ilmiklerle -belki de yazarinin deyimiyle kozmik isinlarla- birbirine dokunmus bu kisa öykülerde kimi zaman otoportresini, kimi zaman gercekle hayalin ic ice gectigi esriklik anlarini ortaya koyuyor. Virginia Ironsidein öykülere isik tutan önsözünde belirttigi gibi Kavan, gerceklik ile cehennem arasindaki bu garip arabölgenin gercek bir vatandasi olarak yaziyor. Franz Kafkayla edebi akrabaligi bircok defa vurgulanmis, daha önce Buz, Kartal Yuvasi ve Uyku Tanrisinin Evi romanlarini yayimladigimiz Kavanin öyküleri, okuru bir kez daha karanlik bir dünyaya sürüklüyor. Modern yazarlarin en gizemlilerinden biri olan Anna Kavan, essiz büyüleyicilikte bir kurmaca dünya yaratti. Onun görüs gücünün yogunluguyla cok az cagdas romanci boy ölcüsebilir. J. G. BALLARD

Kartal Yuvasi
Kavan, bizlere kadin sanatci evreninin siirsel anlatimini vermeyi amac edinen o büyük öznel-kadinsi gelenege Woolf, Barnes, Nin aittir.LAWRENCE DURRELL Düs ile gercegin, geceyle gündüzün ic ice gectigi bu roman, yasadigi dünyanin kati kurallari arasinda sikisip varligini sürdüremeyen bireyi anlatiyor. Karsisina cikan bir is ilaninda kurtulus arayan baskarakter, gecmisi geride birakip gizemli isverenin mekanina, Kartal Yuvasina dogru yola koyulur. Gelgelelim tropikal bitki örtüsünden, selalelerden olusan bu tuhaf diyar, beklentilerini karsilamaktan cok uzaktir.Günümüzde degeri daha da cok anlasilarak bir kült figür haline gelen Anna Kavan, yavan gercekler ile rüya alemi arasinda gidip gelen bu carpici fantezide modern toplumun sahteligine, acimasiz kurallarina, anlamsiz kurumlarina ayak uyduramayan bireyi anlatiyor. Kartal Yuvasi, Kavanin rüyalar, fanteziler, hayalgücü ve akildisinin geceye ait dünyalarini kesfetme becerisinin kusursuz bir yansimasi.ANAS NIN

Eis
»In meinem eigenen Land konnte mir nichts zustoßen, und dennoch wuchs meine Unruhe, je weiter ich fuhr. Die Wirklichkeit war für mich immer eine unbekannte Größe gewesen«, konstatiert der männliche Erzähler in Anna Kavans Eis zu Beginn seines taumelnden Berichts, während er einer ihm gläsern erscheinenden Frau hinterherjagt und sie in die unendliche Wüste einer postapokalyptischen Eislandschaft treibt. Während die zeitlose Handlung zwischen extrem lebensfeindlicher Realität, fieberhafter Halluzination und brutalen Traumgebilden im gleißenden Licht verschwimmt, schiebt sich der Text wie übereinanderknirschende Eisschollen immer tiefer in das Leserhirn. Ob endzeitliche Science-Fiction-Story, Allegorie einer lebenslangen Heroinsucht, ob Verarbeitung persönlicher Traumata oder Zeugnis zutiefst entfremdeten Weltbezugs - wie auch immer die Kritik das Buch zu fassen versuchte: Kavans kristalline Prosa zeugt von der zugleich unendlich leeren wie überkomplexen Wirklichkeit eines inneren Kontinents weiblicher Empfindungen von seltener Dimension. Mit dem 1967 kurz vor ihrem Tod publizierten Eis liegt nun erstmals das bekannteste und erfolgreichste Buch dieser Ausnahmeautorin auf Deutsch vor.

Ice
Anna Kavan was born in 1901, the only child of a wealthy British family. She began publishing under her married name, Helen Ferguson. During this time, she was introduced to heroin by her tennis coach in order to improve her game. She suffered a breakdown after the end of her second marriage, and was committed to an institution to treat both her depression and her addiction. She published her two best-known novels after this experience, Asylum Piece and Ice, under 'Anna Kavan', the name of a character in an earlier novel. She died of heart failure at her home in London in 1968.

Het IJs
Het ijs werd in 1967 uitgeroepen tot de beste sciencefictionroman van het jaar en betekende de doorbraak van Anna Kavan, die een jaar later overleed. In een bevroren, post-nucleair landschap begint een anonieme verteller een hallucinerende zoektocht naar een vreemd en ongrijpbaar ‘ijsmeisje’, zo broos als glas, met lang wit haar. Hij steekt bevroren zeeën en vorstige vlaktes over en baant zijn weg door verwoeste steden, alles om haar te bevrijden uit de greep van een tiran genaamd ‘de wachter’ voordat het ijs om hen heen dichtslibt.
