E D G Y T I T L E S F R O M A L E G E N D A R Y L I S TCalder Publications was known as one of the pre-eminent English-language publish-ers of exciting, avant-garde literature, and was a trailblazing proponent of fiction in translation. Under the stewardship of John Calder, the publishing house brought out novels, plays and poetry by such literary luminaries as Samuel Beckett, Henry Miller, William Burroughs, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Marguerite Duras, Claude Simon and Robert Pinget. These new editions aim to breeze new life into some of Calder’s most iconic titles and making available challenging works of literature from around the world.

THE BLIND OWLSADEQ HEDAYAT

ISBN: 9780714544588

Written in Persian, The Blind Owl is predominantly a love story – an unconventional love story that elicits visions and nightmare reveries from the depths of the reader’s sub-conscious. A young man, an old man and a beautiful young girl perform, as if framed within a Persian miniature, a ritual of destruction as gradually the narrator, and the reader, discover the meaning hidden within the dreams.

JEALOUSYALAIN ROBBE-GRILLETISBN: 9780714544540

In his most famous work, Robbe-Grillet explores the meaning of reality. Jealousy is set on a tropical banana plantation, and the action is seen through the eyes of a narrator who never appears, speaks or acts. His personal-ity is only to be guessed at, watching every movement of the other characters’ actions as they fl ash like moving pic-tures across the distorting screen of a jealous mind.

LOCUS SOLUSRAYMOND ROUSSEL

ISBN: 9780714544564

Cantarel, a scientist, whose enormous wealth imposes no limits upon his prolifi c ingenu-ity, is taking a group of visitors on a tour of “Locus Solus”, his secluded estate near Paris. One by one he introduces, demonstrates and expounds the discoveries and inventions of his fertile, encyclopaedic mind. By each item in Cantarel’s exhibition there hangs a tale, and the reader is swept along in a torrent of wonder and hilarity.

CAIN ’S BOOKALEXANDER TROCCHI

ISBN: 9780714544601

Written in America while Trocchi was working on a scow on the Hudson River, Cain’s Book is an extraordinary autobiographical account about a junky’s life, and an honest, raunchy, eye-open-ing trip through hell. Amongst the most famous novels about the hazards and excitements of an addict’s life, this book – which was prosecuted in Britain for obscenity in 1965 – still shocks in its frankness and is relevant to this day.

CHANGING TRACKMICHEL BUTOR

ISBN: 9780714545707

On a train from Paris to Rome, the businessman Léon Delmont begins to mull over his past and question the decisions he has made about his future. These musings – together with his impressions of the unfolding scenery, conjectures about his fellow passengers and some recurring leitmotifs – provide a psychological case study of an everyman, and subtly illustrate the onset of the protagonist’s doubts and fears.

THE PLAYSANTON CHEKHOV

ISBN: 978184749668326 OCT 17

The most widely staged dra-matist after Shakespeare, Chekhov left a deep mark on the development of Russian literature and world theatre. Collected here are his four most celebrated plays – The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and The Cherry Or-chard – in a brand-new translation by Hugh Aplin. In these stories of unfulfi lled love, failed ambition and existential ennui, the reader can really appreciate Chek-hov’s theatrical genius.

27 JUL 17

When the reporter Edward Malone is sent to interview Professor Challenger about his accounts of prehistoric beasts on a remote plateau in South America, he expects to be given short shrift by the researcher, notorious for manhandling nosy enquirers. But, impressed by the young journalist’s thirst for adventure, he invites Malone along on his next expedition, plunging him into a mysterious world populated by dinosaurs and murderous ape men.

When Mrs Ramsay tells her guests at her summer house on the Isle of Skye that they will be able to visit the nearby lighthouse, little does she know that this trip will only be completed ten years later by her husband, and that a gulf of war, grief and loss will have opened in the meantime. As each character tries to read-just with the shifts of time and reality, this long-delayed ex-cursion will also prove to be a journey of self-discovery and fulfi lment for them.

ISBN: 978184749676823 NOV 17

We takes place in a distant future, where humans are forced to submit their wills to the state, under the rule of the all-powerful Bene-factor, and dreams are re-garded as a sign of mental illness. In a city of straight lines, protected by green walls and a glass dome, a spaceship is being built in order to spearhead the conquest of new planets. Its chief engineer, a man called D-503, keeps a jour-nal of his life.
