Patrick Melrose I - Edward St. Aubyn
Vítěz ceny Magnesia Litera 2020 – překlad. Svazek Patrick Melrose I přináší první tři romány z pětidílného, částečně autobiografického cyklu románů o Patricku Melroseovi z let 1992–2011, v němž se vypravěč vyrovnává s tím, že se stal „hračkou v sadomasochistických hrátkách svých rodičů“. Všechny tři knihy – nazvané Na tom nesejde, Špatná zpráva a Trocha naděje – se odehrávají během jednoho dne a autor nám v nich prostřednictvím mistrných črt nabízí pohled nejen do prostředí britské společenské smetánky, ale i do odvykacích center a newyorské drogové scény. Vypravěč je uchvácen svým démonickým otcem – ten na něm v prvním díle ukájí své sadistické choutky, v druhém díle je přítomen již jen jako stín (už dospělý Patrick cestuje do New Yorku vyzvednout jeho ostatky) a v díle třetím vystupuje jako vzpomínka, na niž nejde zapomenout, ale ani se s ní usmířit. „Hamlet na heroinu“, „makabrózní groteska hnaná sebedestruktivní touhou“ – i tak označovala ostrovní kritika St Aubynovo dílo. Jeho románový cyklus ale zdaleka není jen zádumčivý román o traumatu; je to dílo čtivé, neobyčejně vtipné, ve své společenské kritice přesné a sžíravé. Ve své románové pentalogii o Patricku Melroseovi Edward St Aubyn dokazuje, že je skutečným následovníkem Evelyna Waugha a Oscara Wildea. Mravy vyšších středních vrstev a nižší šlechty nikdo neukázal v tak krutém a šokujícím světle. Málokterý spisovatel dokázal zúčtovat se svými odpudivými rodiči ani svým traumatizovaným dětstvím s tak temným humorem. „Důvtip Oscara Wildea, lehkost P. G. Wodehouse a kousavost Evelyna Waugha.“ – Zadie Smithová „Zcela mimořádné… Kyselinový humor ostrý jako jehlové podpatky.“ – Francine Proseová „Přečetla jsem pět románů o Patricku Melroseovi za pět dní. Když jsem dočetla poslední, dala jsem si všech pět ještě jednou.“ – Ann Patchettová, Guardian Spisovatel a žurnalista Edward St Aubyn se narodil roku 1960. Kromě pěti románů o Patricku Melroseovi -- Na tom nesejde, Špatné zprávy, Trocha naděje, Mateřské mléko a Konečně -- napsal ještě další tři prózy, z nichž nakl. ARGO vydalo roku 2015 prózu Marně hledám slov. Spolupracoval též na scénáři k pětidílné televizní minisérii nazvané podle jména hlavního hrdiny. Titulní roli bravurně ztvárnil Benedict Cumberbatch.

Marně hledám slov - Edward St. Aubyn
Marně hledám slov (Lost for Words, 2014) je první St Aubynův román, jenž se nezaměřuje na rodinu Melroseových, nicméně podobně jako u předchozích knih je i zde zjevná autobiografická inspirace. Autor totiž nepochybně využil svých zkušeností s nominací na Bookerovu cenu za román Matčino mléko z roku 2006 a napsal lehkou, vtipnou frašku, v níž si utahuje z celého nakladatelského průmyslu: nakladatelů, kteří hledí jen na zisk, porotců, kteří účastí na ceně sledují vlastní cíle a knihy ani nečtou, ambiciózních autorů, pro něž je získání ceny věcí přežití, slávy či zapomenutí, a v neposlední řadě i médií, které nezajímá nic jiného než humbuk, který kolem ceny pomáhají vytvořit. Edward St Aubyn (*1960) patří k nejpozoruhodnějším a nejobdivovanějším britským prozaikům současnosti. Vtipný a brilantní stylista se proslavil hlavně sérií pěti románů o rodině Melroseových, v níž zpracoval traumatické zážitky ze svého dětství, včetně sexuálního zneužívání násilnickým a despotickým otcem, léta silné drogové závislosti, kdy se několikrát v důsledku předávkování ocitl na prahu smrti, a v neposlední řadě i bouřlivý osobní život. St Aubynovy romány jsou nejenom autobiografi ckou sondou, ale především navazují na dlouhou tradici společenského románu, jehož klasickou představitelkou je Jane Austenová a ve dvacátém století zejména Evelyn Waugh a Anthony Powell.

“An astounding achievement.” —Megha Majumdar * “Her best book yet.” —Paul Yoon Set in midcentury America, At Last explores a rich family saga centered on two fierce and competitive matriarchs whose intertwined lives reflect the complexities of family, tradition, and personal ambition. “Whole lives course down the decades, and every minute is conveyed with Silver’s signature combination of toughness and grace,” (Laird Hunt).Helene Simonauer and Evelyn Turner are two formidable women whose paths cross when their children marry. Both women are sharp, cunning, and unwavering in their conflicting beliefs about marriage, responsibility, and family and, most pressingly, their efforts to vie for the love of their shared granddaughter. At Last paints a vivid portrait of the American Midwest, capturing the essence of a time and place where societal norms and personal aspirations often clashed. Marisa Silver’s narrative weaves together the lives of Helene and Evelyn, from their vastly different childhoods through the pivotal events that define them. Both intimate and expansive, and capturing the complexities of ambition and love with humor and insight, At Last is a testament to what happens when an unintended, even unwanted relationship turns out to be a central one that defines a life.

The Last Adieu - Ryan Cole
“Memories of the Revolution have come back to life…”In the summer of 1824, the aging Marquis de Lafayette, defeated politically and distraught over the fate of liberty in Europe, set sail one last time from France for America after an absence of forty years.Across the sea waited a nation transformed: Thirteen colonies were now twenty-four states, stretching from the Atlantic Coast to the Mississippi River. The number of Americans had more than tripled; their industry and creativity had ushered in a new era of individual prosperity and civic improvements. But progress brought worries. Shocks—an economic collapse, a crisis over the westward creep of slavery—foreshadowed a new political age, increasingly democratic and impassioned. The presidential election of 1824 was a precursor to this era. It was fought among four men, and was so bitter and divisive some observers wondered if it heralded the end of the Union. All while the Declaration of Independence neared its fiftieth anniversary and the first generation of Americans passed on, leaving a second to lead their great experiment in liberty into the uncertain future and stirring tender nostalgia for the Revolution and its quickly vanishing stars. Chief among them was Lafayette, the last living major general of the Continental Army.When he arrived at last in August 1824, the old hero met once more with the young republic. One of the greatest celebrations in American history followed. Citizens put aside their differences and rallied together around the spirit of their Revolution, rejoicing over the return of the “Nation’s Guest,” as Lafayette was called. For thirteen months, Lafayette traveled thousands of miles, reaching every state in the Union and met with parades and delirious crowds. The nation was spellbound by their benefactor. And Lafayette was overjoyed and stunned by the nation’s growth and advances, all made possible by the freedom he had fought for long ago. The Last Adieu narrates Lafayette’s farewell tour, capturing both its spectacular pageantry and emotional impact—not only from Lafayette’s perspective, but through eyewitness accounts and recollections of the everyday Americans who participated in the great celebration. Co-starring the swarm of fascinating characters Lafayette encountered across the American landscape—elderly founding fathers, populist politicians, idealistic reformers—this is not simply the record of an incredible journey, but a panorama of a rising America and a chronicle of a time when, as Lafayette wrote, memories of its Revolution came back to life, and its citizens were united in gratitude to the men who had won it.

Last Stop on the Murder Express - C J Farrington
Quirky and colourful Times Crime Club The village life, the (mostly awful) food, the appalling hooch and, above all, the loveable eccentricity of Olga, make this a novel to treasure A. N. Wilson This intriguing but charming murder mystery is packed with psychological depth and wonderfully-drawn characters Eleanor RayLiterary fame beckons for Olga Pushkin, Railway Engineer (Second Class), when her self-help manual for hard-working women is published at last. In the meantime, however, Olga still has a household to support, a hedgehog to feed, and railway tracks to maintain from her tiny Siberian village of Roslazny, which has just become the target for Russian Railways budget cuts. Worse still, her beloved sergeant of police, Vassily Marushkin, has reunited with his long-lost wife Rozalina. And soon Rozalina is forcing Vassily to consider moving away...Matters aren t helped when Olga s scheming superior, Boris Andreyev, forces her to babysit a special Romanov-themed murder mystery steam train doing the rounds of the local towns. Parked in a siding near Roslazny, the players deliver the first of several intended performances - only for a staged murder to become very real. Vassily starts a homicide investigation in conjunction with his boss, the mercurial Captain Zemsky, but both are baffled when another murder follows on the heels of the first. Old-school Zemsky bans Olga from joining the investigation - but she soon makes vital discoveries that point towards something deeper and more worrying than the murders alone. Further afield, a rival author emerges to steal Olga s crown, while back in Roslazny Olga begins to suspect that Vassily s wife Rozalina might be hiding secrets of her own. With chaos striking Roslazny, can Olga solve the murders, save her literary career, and settle Rozalina s identity before she loses Vassily forever?Praise for C J Farrington The book is an absolute delight, evocative equally of the frozen steppes, bad vodka and worse sausage, and full of larger than life characters. Olga Pushkin is an endearing protagonist, who is hopefully set for a series as long as the Trans Siberian Railway. L C Tyler Written with a warmth that would thaw Siberia, this intriguing but charming murder mystery is packed with psychological depth and wonderfully-drawn characters. It also features the best hedgehog I ve met in a novel. Eleanor Ray

Soviet Tanks at Kursk 1943 - William E. Hiestand
Illustrated throughout, this book explains the composition and qualities of the Soviet tank force that fought Germanyâ ™s mighty Panzers at the biggest tank battle in history. In the summer of 1943, Hitlerâ ™s army had rebuilt its Panzer forces after defeat at Stalingrad and retreat from the Caucasus. New types, including the Panther, Tiger, and Elefant, at last added technical superiority to the traditional tactical edge enjoyed by the Panzer divisions. The plan was to begin offensive operations by striking from the north and south to cut off Soviet forces in the Kursk salient. In this book, Soviet military specialist William E. Hiestand explores the armor that met this Panzer force, in the biggest tank battle of World War II. The Soviets had benefited from their prodigious production capabilities but the tanks at Kursk varied widely. Still short of tanks, the Soviets also still operated weak T-60 and T-70 light tanks, along with the increasingly obsolete KV-1 heavy tank. Significant numbers of Lend-Lease tanks also fought, including M3 Lees, Valentines, Stuarts, Churchills, and the first Shermans to join the Red Army. The Soviets also benefited from the firepower of the first generation of Soviet self-propelled guns â “ the SU-76, SU-122, and SU-152. With meticulously researched tank illustrations and rare archive photos, this is an expert account of the Soviet tank forces in the climactic clash on the Eastern Front.

Edward III - William Shakespeare, Octavio Solis
Edward III comes to life in a new version by playwright Octavio Solis. Written after Englandâ ™s victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588, Edward III follows the exploits of King Edward III and his son Edward, the Black Prince of Wales. England dominates on the battlefield as the play explores questions of kinghood and chivalry through the actions of King Edward and his son. Octavio Solisâ ™s translation of the play provides all of the complexity and richness of the original while renewing the allusions and metaphors lost through time. This translation of Edward III was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festivalâ ™s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present work from â œThe Bardâ in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeareâ ™s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in printâ ”a new First Folio for a new era.

Edward the Confessor - Peter Rex
Edward the Confessor was the son of King Aethelred the Unready of the House of Wessex. The family was exiled to Normandy when the Danish invaded England in 1013 but, with the nation in crisis on the death of King Harthacnut twenty-nine years later, Edward was named King of England, restoring the throne to English rule. Often portrayed as a holy simpleton, Edward was in fact a wily and devious king. For most kings a childless marriage would have been an Achilles heel, but Edward turned it to his advantage. He cunningly played off his potential rivals and successors, using the prize of the throne as leverage. Though his reign was peaceful, his death would wreak havoc. Bloody wars were waged, two claimants were cut down and William the Conqueror earned his name. Edward s posthumous reputation grew as stories were spread by the monks of his magnificent foundation, Westminster Abbey. The childless king was transformed into a chaste, pious and holy man. Miracles were attributed to him and he was credited with the King s Touch - the ability to cure illnesses by touch alone. In 1161 he was canonised as Saint Edward the Confessor and to this day he remains the patron saint of the royal family.
