Gebundene Ausgabe, [EAN: 9780850314564], Allison & Busby, Allison & Busby, Book, [PU: Allison & Busby], Allison & Busby, (Banished Misfortune marks the literary debut of Dermot Healy, one of the gifted younger generation of Irish writers such as Neil Jordan and Desmond Hogan who have made such an impact on English and Irish readers alike. A lovestruck adolescent waiting hopelessly for the girl who never comes, a drifter on the fringes of down-and-out London, an embittered middle-aged journalist living alone, a young boy persuaded to curse a barmaid for the illusory promise of riding his temptor s race horses, a Northern Ireland family who have put the distance of a Galway holiday between themselves and the Troubles. Dermot Healy s characters are often at odds with life, but he writes about them with a generous irony and a refreshingly unsentimental lyricism. He is a writer of great promise who takes an infectious delight in the physical reality of the world and whether he is writing about the country or the city, a group, a family or an individual, he succeeds in creating that exhilarating, optimistic feeling of seeing the world as it is for the first time), 54071011, Genres, 60447011, Architektur, Technik & Ingenieurswesen, 66034011, Belletristik, 56797011, Biografien & Erinnerungen, 58173011, Business, Karriere & Geld, 65981011, Comics, Mangas & Graphic Novels, 62991011, Computer & Internet, 54072011, Eltern & Familie, 56047011, Fachbücher, 57127011, Fantasy & Science Fiction, 65677011, Freizeit, Haus & Garten, 65140011, Geschichte, 64617011, Gesundheit, Geist & Körper, 59283011, Jugendbücher, 53817011, Kalender, 61180011, Kinderbücher, 64085011, Kochen & Genießen, 68333011, Krimis & Thriller, 59670011, Kunst & Fotografie, 54127011, Lernen & Nachschlagen, 55555011, Liebesromane & -erzählungen, 56535011, Medizin, 53965011, Musiknoten, 65108011, Outdoor, Umwelt & Natur, 63925011, Recht, 58645011, Reise & Abenteuer, 54682011, Religion & Esoterik, 69028011, Sachbücher, 65636011, Schwul & Lesbisch, 58390011, Sport & Fitness, 64226011, Unterhaltung & Kultur, 52044011, Fremdsprachige Bücher<
