With an Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were. Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses.

Kniha - autor John Bellairs, 256 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná YOUCAT: Kurz víry se do větší hloubky věnuje základním tématům katolické víry a morálního učení. Co všechno víme o Bohu? Proč existuje utrpení? Co mají Boží přikázání společného s láskou? A k čemu potřebujeme církev? Autor se snaží vyložit hlavní témata katolické víry a morálky stejně napínavě jako dobrý film. Navazuje přitom těsně na základní publikaci celé této edice – „žlutý“ YOUCAT. YOUCAT: Kurz víry je určen především mladým lidem, a to z věřícího i nevěřícího prostředí. Potřebný impuls k dospělejší víře v ní najdou i další zájemci: konvertité nebo lidé, kteří se připravují na přijetí svátostí církve nebo se po období deziluzí do církve vracejí. Tento kurz víry může absolvovat jednotlivec sám. Lepší ale bude, když se do něj pustí s přáteli, se známými nebo s lidmi z farnosti. Názor si totiž lépe utvoříme při rozhovoru, třeba v menším společenství nebo ve studijní skupině.

eBook: Název v češtině: Variace na téma venkovské sídlo v britské literatuře od Forstera po Hollinghursta Monografie se věnuje literatuře spojené s anglickým venkovským sídlem, a to zejména dílům autorů 20. a 21. století, jako jsou E. M. Forster, Evelyn Waugh, Iris Murdoch, Alan Hollinghurst a Sarah Waters. Venkovské sídlo je nahlíženo v širším společenském a kulturním kontextu, včetně soudobého vývoje architektury. Šíře a rozmanitost literárních obrazů odráží rozrůznění fyzické podoby venkovského sídla a dovoluje zahrnout jak jeho menší varianty, tak i pozůstatky vznosných paláců na pokraji zničení. Interpretace v rámci soudobé prózy, architektury a poetiky prostoru umožňuje venkovskému sídlu, vzhledem k jeho výjimečným evokačním a soustředivým vlastnostem, akcentovat různé podoby bydlení. Následkem toho mohou být literární ztvárnění současně chápána jako předobrazy i odrazy soudobého žití.
