Kde se rozmanitost setkává s hodnotou - Katalo.cz

A collection of brand-new short stories written by prize-winning, bestselling writers and inspired by Kafka - published to commemorate the centenary of his death*Chosen as a 2024 highlight in the Guardian, the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, New Statesman, Esquire and the New European*Franz Kafka is widely regarded as one of the great geniuses of twentieth-century literature. What happens when some of the most original literary minds of today take an idea, a mood or a line from his work and use it to spark something new?From a future society who ask their AI servants to construct a giant tower to reach God; to a flat hunt that descends into a comically absurd bureaucratic nightmare; to a population experiencing a wave of unbearable, contagious panic attacks, these ten specially commissioned stories are by turns mind-bending, funny, unsettling and haunting. Inspired by the visionary imagination of a writer working one hundred years ago, they speak powerfully to the strangeness of being alive today.

Idiot je románem o strastech a slastech dospívání a formování osobnosti ve světě, který je opojný i zneklidňující zároveň, o dobrodružném odhalování záludností, které jsou zakódované v podstatě lásky i jazyka. Tápání člověka na prahu dospělosti v něm Elif Batumanová vykresluje pečlivě cizelovaným stylem, s velkou dávkou citlivosti, ale také ironického humoru. Českému čtenáři pak nabízí i zábavný a trochu nezvyklý pohled na čerstvě posttotalitní střední Evropu: hrdinčina cesta do Maďarska vypovídá jak o představách, které si Západ o našem regionu hýčkal, tak o nás samotných. Román Idiot byl v roce 2018 mezi třemi knihami nominovanými na Pulitzerovu cenu za beletrii.

Děj románu je - jak tomu je u autorčiných próz obvyklé - spletitý, ne-li přímo snový. Když protagonistka knihy Hero Tojosoa zdráhavě přijme pozvání své dávné přítelkyně Sofie a vydá se s ní a dalšími kamarádkami na dámskou jízdu do Prahy, netuší, že se ocitne ve městě, jež si s nic netušícími turisty rádo zahrává, ve městě, které je živoucí bytostí, jež si člověka snadno omotá kolem prstu nebo jej lhostejně odkopne. Kniha, kterou si s sebou Hero přiveze, jako by nějak podivně deformovala její mysl: text knihy se mění v závislosti na tom, kdy ji kdo čte, a odhaluje stále nové, překvapivé příběhy fiktivních Pražanů z minulosti i současnosti, jež se pak zvláštně odrážejí v realitě. Na skupinku kamarádek se navíc nalepí nezvaní společníci; a když se pak nečekaně zjeví žena, na niž by Hero i Sofie nejraději zapomněly, začnou se dít podivuhodné věci. Fantaskní kaleidoskopický román se zamýšlí nad hranicemi mezi iluzí a klamem, skutečností a interpretací, a ukazuje, jak ošidné může být vyprávění o místech, o lidech i o historii. Nakolik je příběh ovlivněn svým čtenářem, a naopak? A je v roztržce mezi přáteli lepší být slunečníkem, nebo sekerou? Vydání knihy podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury České republiky.

My Pen Is the Wing of a Bird is a landmark collection: the first anthology of short fiction by Afghan women. Eighteen writers tell stories that are both unique and universal - stories of family, work, childhood, friendship, war, gender identity and cultural traditions."This book reminds us that everyone has a story. Stories matter; so too the storytellers. Afghan women writers, informed and inspired by their own personal experiences, are best placed to bring us these powerful insights into the lives of Afghans and, most of all, the lives of women. Women's lives, in their own words - they matter." Lyse Doucet in her IntroductionThis collection introduces extraordinary voices from the country's two main linguistic groups (Pashto and Dari) with original, vital and unexpected stories to tell, developed over two years through UNTOLD's Write Afghanistan project. My Pen Is the Wing of a Bird comes at a pivotal moment in Afghanistan's history, when these voices must be heard.With an Introduction by BBC Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet and an Afterword by Lucy HannahABOUT UNTOLD UNTOLD is a writer development programme for marginalised writers in areas of conflict and post-conflict. Afghanistan has millions of Pashto and Dari speakers with little or no local support for creative writing, literary translation, or literary editing. Support for writers has been hampered by cultural norms, free expression issues, chronic instability, and internal displacement. UNTOLD has been working one-to-one with women on their short stories, with English-speaking literary editors and translators working with the writers to realise the potential of their stories for publication both locally and globally in translation.

It is 1974 on the island of Cyprus. Two teenagers, from opposite sides of a divided land, meet at a tavern in the city they both call home. The tavern is the only place that Kostas, who is Greek and Christian, and Defne, who is Turkish and Muslim, can meet, in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic, chilli peppers and wild herbs. This is where one can find the best food in town, the best music, the best wine. But there is something else to the place: it makes one forget, even if for just a few hours, the world outside and its immoderate sorrows. In the centre of the tavern, growing through a cavity in the roof, is a fig tree. This tree will witness their hushed, happy meetings, their silent, surreptitious departures; and the tree will be there when the war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to rubble, when the teenagers vanish and break apart. Decades later in north London, sixteen-year-old Ada Kazantzakis has never visited the island where her parents were born. Desperate for answers, she seeks to untangle years of secrets, separation and silence. The only connection she has to the land of her ancestors is a Ficus Carica growing in the back garden of their home. In The Island of Missing Trees, prizewinning author Elif Shafak brings us a rich, magical tale of belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature, and, finally, renewal.

Pátý román Helen Oyeyemi je dosavadním vrcholem autorčiny tvorby. Obsahuje vše, co se stalo pro autorku charakteristické a co jí vyneslo zařazení na prestižní seznam nejlepších mladých prozaiků, který zveřejňuje vlivný britský časopis Granta. Práce s pohádkami, mýty, kulturními aluzemi, neustálé prostupování skutečnosti a fikce i náhlé zvraty, to vše najdeme v příběhu dívky jménem Boy. Ta vyrůstá bez matky v rodině krysaře, který na rozdíl od mytického krysaře z německé legendy lidi nepřitahuje, ale odpuzuje. I Boy od něj prchá a protlouká se Amerikou padesátých let, až nakonec skončí v náručí vdovce, jenž je otcem dívky jménem Snow. Oyeyemi na tomto trojúhelníkovém půdorysu rozehrává pro ni typickou hru, kdy nic není tím, čím se zdá být a kdy čtenáře čeká na každém rohu překvapení. Dívka jménem Boy je kniha čtivá, vtipná a bohatá nejen na četné aluze. Helen Oyeyemi Helen Oyeyemi patří navzdory svému mládí mezi nejuznávanější současné britské prozaičky. Je autorkou pěti románů, z nichž první napsala ještě na střední škole a během studií politologie v Cambridge slavila úspěch se dvěma hrami, které posléze vyšly knižně. Již od prvního románu The Icarus Girl její tvorbu charakterizuje zájem o legendy, mýty a fantastickou imaginaci. Druhý román The Opposite House (Protější dům, 2007) je silně inspirován kubánskou mytologií, následující dílo White is for Witching (Bílá je barva čarodějnic, 2009) skládá hold Edgaru Allanu Poeovi (za tento román získala autorka Cenu Somerseta Maughama). V roce 2011 vydala román Mr Fox (Pan Fox) a o tři roky později svou kriticky patrně nejúspěšnější knihu Dívka jménem Boy. Helen Oyeyemi žije v Praze.

Karel Čapek (1890-1938) wrote at the time when the travel writing genre gained some of its most prominent artistic and narrative features, and the theme of travel permeated both literature and visual art. He contributed to its unique legacy founded on modernist, cross-generic and cross-artistic experiments not only in his travel writing opus, but also by incorporating the notion of travel into his other literary pursuits - from his translation of Apollinaire's "Zone" (1919) to rendition of newts in his internationally renowned novel War With the Newts (1936). Čapek experimented with aesthetic features of the genre and the theme of travel, and, in lieu with cosmopolitan tendencies of the period, sought to overcome the opposition between home and abroad by suggesting an imaginative geography of Europe based on aesthetic rather than political identity. As he demonstrates, "becoming European through being Czech" is to be achieved through the awareness of a shared artistic tradition and exploration of the limits of literary expression, its ability to convey new times and new realities. In the aftermath of the Great War, and during the time when his country was looking for a chance to promote its identity, the travel writing genre, as well as the articulation of this theme across literature and arts, offered a platform for exploration and experimentation with these ideas.

This feast of an anthology celebrates its most famous practitioners, as well as newly translated writers ready for rediscovery. Here are decadent tales, 'bloody tales', fairy tales, detective stories and war stories.They are stories about the self and the other, husbands, wives and lovers, country and city, rich and poor. The first volume spans four hundred years, taking the reader from the sixteenth century to the 'golden age' of the fin de siecle. Its pages are populated by lovers, phantoms, cardinals, labourers, enchanted statues, gentleman burglars, retired bureaucrats, panthers and parrots, in a cacophony of styles and voices.From the affairs of Madame de Lafayette to the polemic realism of Victor Hugo, the supernatural mystery of Guy De Maupassant to the dark sensuality of Rachilde, this is the place to start for lovers of French literature, new and old. Edited and with an introduction by Patrick McGuinness, academic, writer and translator.
