{"product_id":"levy-deborah-august-blue","title":"August Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eA SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER \n\n BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 ACCORDING TO FINANCIAL TIMES, GUARDIAN, INDEPENDENT, TIME MAGAZINE \n\n 'Levy's lyrical, pitch-perfect prose is an exploration of our reasons for living, the forces that drive us and the inner music that controls the rhythms of our dance through life and love' Independent \n\n The mesmerising new novel from the twice Booker-shortlisted author of Hot Milk and Swimming Home \n\nAt the height of her career, concert pianist Elsa M. Anderson - former child prodigy, now in her thirties - walks off the stage in Vienna, mid-performance.\n\nNow she is in Athens, watching as another young woman, a stranger but uncannily familiar - almost her double - purchases a pair of mechanical dancing horses at a flea market. Elsa wants the horses too, but there are no more for sale. She drifts to the ferry port, on the run from her talent and her history.\n\nSo begins a journey across Europe, shadowed by the elusive woman who bought the dancing horses.\n\nA dazzling portrait of melancholy and metamorphosis, August Blue uncovers the ways in which we seek to lose an old story, find ourselves in others and create ourselves anew.\n\n 'Deborah Levy writes like a dream and I mean that quite literally' Stuart Kelly, The Scotsman \n\n'A virtuosic novel of identity and breakdown . . . [it] flickers constantly between comedy and darkness. You know you'll read August Blue again' M John Harrison, Guardian \n Sunday Times bestseller, May 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eEAN:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e9780241987889\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFarbverschnitt:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eGenerell werden die Bücher ohne Farbverschnitt geliefert, auch wenn die Abbildungen einen Farbverschnitt zeigen.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eErscheinungsjahr:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e16.05.2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eAutoren:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eLevy, Deborah\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eSeitenzahl\/Blattzahl:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e245\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eThemenüberschrift:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eFICTION \/ Literary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eKeyword:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003egrief; contemporary fiction; literary fiction; elena ferrante; zadie smith; ali smith; joan didion; my year of rest and relaxation; nora ephron; rachel cusk; nigella lawson; identity; double; twin; rebecca solnit; i love dick; ophelia; black vodka; susan sontag; alice munro; ottessa moshfegh; max porter; gloria steinem; hot milk; diana athill; patricia lockwood; notes to self; maggie nelson; amy liptrot; real estate; naomi wolf; helen macdonald; men explain things to me; priestdaddy; the cost of living; kate muir; seasonal quartet; sophie mackintosh; companion piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachschema:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eEnglische Belletristik \/ Roman, Erzählung~Englische Bücher \/ Belletristik \/ Roman, Erzählung\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachkategorie:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eBelletristik: Themen, Stoffe, Motive: Psychologisches Innenleben~Erzählerisches Thema: Identität \/ Zugehörigkeit~Belletristik: Themen, Stoffe, Motive: Raumwahrnehmung~Belletristik: Themen, Stoffe, Motive: Reisen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eImprint-Titels:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003ePenguin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eLänge:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e195 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eBreite:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e128 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eHöhe:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e18 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eGewicht:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e184 gr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eProduktform:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eKartoniert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eImporte\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Levy, Deborah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54865904468294,"sku":"6938261","price":12.73,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/B00000001498518.jpg?v=1754511439","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/products\/levy-deborah-august-blue","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
