This book provides a comprehensive account and critical analysis of the literary career of Pat Barker. It offers readings of Barker's innovations in narrative form, her revisionist perspectives on history, class and gender, and her preoccupation with themes of trauma, haunting and terror. It also analyses the reasons for her success and significance as a novelist. The chapters draw on contemporary theories of critical realism, gender and social identities, memory and narrative, in order to outline the debates with which Barker's work has consistently engaged. Brannigan argues that Barker is one of the most important writers in modern English literary history. She is principally renowned and widely acclaimed for her 'Regeneration' trilogy, the last volume of which, 'The Ghost Road', won the Booker Prize in 1995. In recent novels, Barker has continued to deal with controversial and shocking themes, including child murderers and the meanings of 'terror' in the contemporary world. ;

Essen macht satt, Essen macht Spaß – und es ist sinnlich. Wie wunderbar es sich anfühlt, wenn man in einen Pfirsich beißt. Wenn die Vollkorncräcker so richtig laut zwischen den Zähnen krachen. Wie wunderbar frisch gebackenes Brot riecht. Wie seidig sich eine Miso-Suppe im Mund anfühlt, wie anders Odon-Nudeln mit Biss. Oder ein scharfes Linsen-Dhal. Odon-Nudeln? Miso-Suppe? Linsen-Dhal? Was ist das? Schmeckt das? Können wir unser Brot tatsächlich selber backen? Wo kommt der Pfirsich im Winter her? Wozu brauchen wir Kohlenhydrate, oder Fett? Wie wird aus Korn Mehl? Und aus einer Kakaobohne Schokolade? Warum essen manche Menschen kein Schweinefleisch? Und warum ist es besser, nach Lebensmitteln zu greifen, die in unserer Nähe wachsen? All dies und noch viel mehr erfahren wir in diesem Atlas für die ganze Familie, den Zoe Barker ganz wunderbar illustriert hat. Seine 1.144 Bilder und Texte laden uns zu einer kulinarischen Reise um die ganze Welt ein, bei der wir andere Kulturen und Traditionen kennenlernen. Empfohlen ab 5 Jahren
