Moon and fires, Italy, 1974, M., “Progress”, hard fabric cover, pp.: 485, with b/w frontispieces, format: 149 x 205 mm, weight: 1,032 g, edition: not specified.

Cesare Pavese is one of the greatest Italian writers of the 20th century, a master of lyrical, emotional prose. The main motives of the writer’s work are showing the contrast between the village and the city, contrasting the purity of human feelings with the soullessness and cruelty of the bourgeois world. Picturesque pictures of rural nature and the city landscape echo the experiences of the characters trying to find their way in harsh reality.
5. Heinesen William – The Black Cauldron. Lost musicians. Denmark, 1974, M., “Progress”, hard fabric cover, pp.: 527, with b/w frontispieces and drawings, format: 147 x 206 mm, weight: 545 g, circulation: not specified. Condition: near perfect (the spine of the book is slightly faded).
William Heinesen is one of the most famous writers of the Faroe Islands. He wrote mainly in Danish. Also known as a composer and artist. Some of his works have been translated into Russian: the novels “The Black Cauldron”, “The Lost Musicians” and “The Tower at the End of the World”. In 1965, Heinesen was awarded the Nordic Council Literary Prize. Heinesen was always interested in the unknown and unknown, but called himself a religious person in the broadest sense of the word. His life can be characterized as a struggle against defeatism. The action of the novel “The Black Cauldron” takes place during the Second World War and depicts the fundamental changes caused in the life of the Faroe Islands, where British troops land and commercial contacts with England gradually develop. The original occupation of the islands' sailors - fishing - is becoming extremely dangerous and at the same time very profitable business. The novel is intended to expose the deception and restore the true picture of wartime events. The novel “The Lost Musicians” is a unique response to historical events. Increased international tension and the threat of a new world catastrophe plunges many writers into a pessimistic mood. Despite the tragedy of the story, the novel is not devoid of faith in man and is addressed to the younger generation.
