Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Born in Romania, Anna Untch grew up in a community that gave special privileges to Saxons. She spent her childhood working on the family farm and learned German in school. But after World War II, the reparations Germany owed the Soviets were paid in the form of hard labor. Anna, her sisters, and thousands of Germanic people were rounded up at gunpoint and marched to the nearest train station, where boxcars waited to take them to the Soviet bloc. What followed were years of slave labor, starvation, illness and little hope--until a daring escape changed everything. Sick and emaciated, Anna was sent to East Germany to recuperate. There she found her sister, and together they escaped across the border into the American Zone in West Germany. Barred from returning to their home, they relied on an uncle in the United States to send for them--a bureaucratic process that took two years. But once in America, the young woman from Romania found her footing. All that remained was to tell her story: a story of privilege, slavery and freedom. A story of a woman who achieved the American Dream.…

Paperback. Condition: New. An honest and unaffected collection of human experiences that deftly tackles themes of grief, loss, missed opportunities, and the pain of letting go. The stories in Michael Melgaard's poignant debut collection, Pallbearing, offer candid snapshots of life in a small town, where the struggle to make ends meet forces people into desperate choices. In "Little to Lose," a son confronts his mother over the crushing prison of debt created by her gambling addiction. The aging divorcee in "Coming and Going" spends her days in paranoid pursuit of evidence with which to incriminate her neighbours in the derelict trailer park where she lives. And in "Stewart and Rose," lifelong friends find love after their respective partners die - and then face loss all over again. With deceptively spare prose that carries outsized emotional weight and pathos, Melgaard brings his characters to life in sharp-edged portraits and all-too-human dilemmas, creating engaging stories that resonate with honesty and depth, and linger in the imagination. …

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st. 255 pages, colour illustrations; 28 cm. Published on the occasion of an exhibition held at Munch Museum, Oslo, January 31 to April 12, 2015. Firm binding, clean inside copy. OVERSIZE! Additional shipping charges may be requested for international & priority orders. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "What is the critical relevance of Edvard Munch (1863 1944) to contemporary society? This publication places Munch's oeuvre in dialogue with works by the Norwegian-born, New York based artist Bjarne Melgaard (born 1967), whose art has often provoked controversy-as was the case with Munch, in his lifetime. Their bodies of creative work are related in numerous ways. Both have worked with reference to their own biography; there is also an artistic kinship between the two in terms of their painterly idioms, motifs and themes. Addressing subjects such as sexuality, gender, death, loneliness and alienation, they both address key issues of modern society. The catalogue explores the dystopian critique of civilization that underlies their respective oeuvres. In addition to a wide range of well-known works by both artists, it presents new pieces by Melgaard that explore the themes he considers of particular importance in Munch's oeuvre." - Publisher.
