Beschreibung

Winner of the Portico Prize 
Winner of the Edge Hill University Short Story Prize 
Short-listed for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award 
“Every one of the seven tales here delights and disturbs in equal measure. The Beautiful Indifference illustrates that short fiction is indeed a finely wrought art form, and Hall is an artist of considerable and concise skill. Each story is a gem, but together they from a collection of astonishingly sensuous power.”  — Sunday Times (London) 
Sarah Hall has been hailed as "one of the most significant and exciting of Britain's young novelists" (The Guardian). Now, in this remarkable collection of short fiction, she has created a work at once provocative and mesmerizing.

    In this debut collection of richly evocative short stories, writer Linda Feyder portrays a diverse group of protagonists seeking fulfillment and connection in sunny California. She sketches her characters – of different ages, genders, and classes – with pitch-perfect honesty as they reassess their identities or confront the exact moment they face the fragility of life or themselves. A teenage girl travels to California from New York for an uneasy visit with the father she hasn't seen for years. A young man is disqualified from the Naval Aeronautical program and returns to his sister's home, where he struggles with his identity. A couple moves to the California desert for the warm climate a doctor prescribes and makes an unlikely friendship with a bullied albino boy. Girlfriends working together at a horse stable realize the nature of their friendship is changing when one of them decides to pursue her first sexual experience. Kirkus Review writes: “A beautifully rendered collection from a writer to watch.”

    For the first time the story was published in 1883. In the center of the story - 13-year-old student Vanya Ottepelov. Worrying before the exam in Greek, he did, as he thought, his best not to get the two grade. But nothing has helped him - he failed the exam. For Vanya this was not the only exam he failed. He really does not fit in that school. But his mother chose that school because it represents the ideals and the future she expects to attain one day. Vanya’s aunt criticized her and believed that the main blame lies with her sister, not with her nephew. The belief that all education will help to make way in the world, in fact, has often led to the fact that children were forced to mindlessly learning Latin and Greek, regardless of their abilities and inclinations. A spanking was considered to be the universal training help...A SmartTouch Media production.
