a christmas memory truman capote

Tender and bittersweet, these stories by Truman Capote, the author of Breakfast at Tiffany s,are a captivating tribute to the Christmas season We set about choosing a tree. It should be, muses my friend, twice as tall as a boy. So a boy can t steal the star. Selected from across Truman Capote s writing life, these Christmas stories range from nostalgic, semi-autobiographical portraits of childhood to more unsettling tales of darkness beneath the festive glitter. In the Deep South of Capote s youth, a young boy, Buddy, and his beloved maiden aunt Sook forage for pecans and whiskey to bake into fruitcakes, make kites - too broke to buy gifts - and rise before dawn to prepare feasts for a ragged assembly of guests; while in other stories, a lonely woman has a troubling encounter in wintry New York and an unlikely festive miracle, of sorts, occurs at a local drugstore.Brimming with feeling, these sparkling tales convey both the wonder and the chill of Christmas time.

As a literary subject, Christmas has inspired everything from intimate domestic dramas, to fanciful flights of the imagination, and the full range of its expression is represented in this wonderfully engaging collection. Goblins frolic in the graveyard of an early Dickens tale; a love-struck ghost disrupts a country estate in Elizabeth Bowen s Green Holly ; devils, witches, Cossacks and peasants cavort in Gogol s The Night Before Christmas . The plight of the less fortunate haunts Chekhov s Vanka and Willa Cather s The Burglar s Christmas , but takes a boisterously comic turn in Damon Runyon s Dancing Dan s Christmas and John Cheever s Christmas is a Sad Season for the Poor . From Nabokov s intensely moving story of a father s grief in Christmas to Truman Capote s hilarious yet heartbreaking A Christmas Memory , from Grace Paley s Jewish girl in the Christmas pageant in The Loudest Voice to the dysfunctional family ski holiday in Richard Ford s Creche - each of the stories is imbued with Christmas spirit of one kind or another, and all are richly and indelibly entertaining.

Conan si díky svým odvážným kouskům vysloužil jméno ve všech hospodách a temných uličkách Města zlodějů. Avšak i sláva má svou cenu: Conan je přistižen při laškování se ženou smírčího soudce a stává se uprchlíkem, jemuž jsou náhle v patách jak lidští, tak i nadpřirození pronásledovatelé. Conanova dobrodružství ve Městě zlodějů pokračují a vyprávění se ujímají tři z těch nejlepších komiksových scenáristů společně s výtvarníky Carym Nordem a Davem Stewartem. Vysílají neohroženého Cimeřana přímo do náruče Gundeřanových lučištníků i nebezpečných svůdkyň, stejně jako do nitra hrůzných rozvalin plných živoucích mrtvol a protivníků daleko příšernějších, než jaké kdy poznal. Kniha obsahuje poslední příběh Kurta Busieka a dále adaptaci jedné z legendárních Howardových „ztracených“ povídek „Síně mrtvých“, ve které Mike Mignola, tvůrce Hellboye, staví Conana proti bizarním netvorům v rozvalinách jednoho polozapomenutého města. A do třetice, opěvovaný kreslíř a legenda nezávislého komiksu Timothy Truman uvádí svou první conanovskou povídku o záludných mniších, šílených psech a pololidských přízracích z kopců, v níž bude rozdrcena nejedna lebka.

Jedna z nejznámějších Howardových povídek o Cimeřanu Conanovi s názvem „Darebáci v domě“ vyšla poprvé v časopise Weird Tales v lednu roku 1934. Scenárista Timothy Truman a výtvarníci Cary Nord a Tomás Giorello nyní spojili své síly, aby vám převyprávěli příběh o setkání neohroženého barbara a Rudého kněze tak, jak jste ho ještě nikdy nečetli. Conan se ocitá zcela bez prostředků v městské věznici, kde čeká na šibenici. Mladý šlechtic Murilo mu ale nabídne obchod – život výměnou za zabití jeho záludného politického protivníka, Rudého kněze Nabonida. Avšak celý plán se vzápětí zvrtne, když se Conan s Murilem ocitnou polapeni v podzemím labyrintu knězova domu, kde musejí společně překonat nejednu smrtící past, zatímco je jim v patách záhadný krvelačný netvor. Hned v první povídce „Krysí doupě“ se setkáme s dalším z Howardových hrdinů – námořníkem Stevem Costiganem a jeho věrným psem. Povídky o něm, stejně jako další Howardovy příběhy ze sportovního prostředí, v češtině bohužel nikdy nevyšly.

Avšak síla mnohem větší než Štěstěna ho žene do střetu s tou nejmocnější a nejpodivnější armádou, jakou kdy viděl! Princezna Jasmela, prozatímní vládkyně města Choradži, vídá ve svých snech strašlivého čaroděje Natoka, jenž hrozí, že na Choradžu zaútočí hordy jeho démonů. Jasmela se proto obrací k bohu Mitrovi, jenž jí poradí, aby svěřila osud celé své říše do rukou prvního muže, na nějž narazí v ulicích svého města – a tímto mužem není nikdo jiný než opilý a neotesaný barbar! A i kdyby snad byl Conan skutečně jedinou šancí na záchranu, jakkoliv nepravděpodobnou a riskantní, v důsledku jeho nedůvěry ke zpohodlnělým aristokratům, a naopak jejich opovržení vůči jeho nízkému společenskému postavení je šance, že by Conan se šlechtici dokázal spolupracovat a zastavit tak Natoka v jeho snaze podmanit si svět, takřka mizivá. Tento svazek obsahuje adaptaci působivé povídky „Černý kolos“ Roberta E. Howarda vytvořenou scenáristou Timothym Trumanem, kreslířem Tomásem Giorellem a koloristou Josém Villarrubiou, a navíc přináší také doslov Howardova životopisce Marka Finna.
