Kobiety to jedna z najpopularniejszych ksiazek Charlesa Bukowskiego. Henry Chinaski opowiada w niej historie swoich licznych, czesto burzliwych zwiazków z kobietami; w wiekszosci sa to przelotne przygody, w których trudno doszukac sie jakiejkolwiek romantycznosci. Jego jezyk jest niewybredny, czasem rynsztokowy. Wierzymy jednak Chinaskiemu, bo w jego opowiesci jest i wrazliwosc, i uczucie.Warta uwagi jest interpretacja Andrzeja Blumenfelda, który niezwykle trafnie oddaje ducha tej prozy.

Few writers have so brilliantly and poignantly conjured the desperation and absurdity of ordinary life as Charles Bukowski. Resonant with his powerful, perceptive voice, his visceral, hilarious, and transcendent poetry speaks to us as forcefully today as when it was written. Encompassing a wide range of subjects—from love to death and sex to writing—Bukowski’s unvarnished and self-deprecating verse illuminates the deepest and most enduring concerns of the human condition while remaining sharply aware of the day to day.

Charles Bukowski examines cats and his childhood in You Get So Alone at Times, a book of poetry that reveals his tender side. The iconic tortured artist/everyman delves into his youth to analyze its repercussions.

A book that captures the Dirty Old Man of American letters at his fiercest and most vulnerable, on a subject that hits home with all of us. Charles Bukowski was a man of intense emotions, someone an editor once called a “passionate madman.” Alternating between tough and gentle, sensitive and gritty, Bukowski lays bare the myriad facets of love—its selfishness and its narcissism, its randomness, its mystery and its misery, and, ultimately, its true joyfulness, endurance, and redemptive power.

På den amerikanske vestkyst i Los Angeles arbejder Henry Chinaski for postvæsnet. Vi følger ham i en hverdag præget af faste rutiner, hvor dagen begynder tidligt med at dele breve ud, mens fritiden fordrives med hestevæddeløb, druk til langt ud på natten og talrige og sporadiske romancer med mange forskellige kvinder, før det igen bliver morgen, og hele rumlen starter forfra.

I cavalli, la boxe, le donne, le sbornie colossali e le interminabili giornate al bar sullo sfondo di un’America povera ed emarginata. Nel suo libro più celebre, Charles Bukowski rappresenta con forza e crudezza tutto il suo universo narrativo, senza mai perdere la capacità di sorridere davanti alla desolazione della vita.
