Babel - Rebecca F. Kuangová
1828. Robin Swift, kantonská sirota, ktorá prišla o rodinu počas cholery, prichádza do Londýna s tajomným profesorom Lovellom. Tam sa roky učí latinčinu, starovekú gréčtinu a čínštinu, aby sa neskôr mohol prihlásiť na prestížny Kráľovský prekladateľský inštitút Oxfordskej univerzity, ktorý je nazývaný tiež Babel. Babel je svetovým centrom prekladu, a čo je ešte dôležitejšie, aj mágie. Striebrotepectvo – umenie, ktoré pomocou začarovaných strieborných paličiek vyjavuje význam stratený v preklade, dáva britskému impériu nevídanú moc a jeho vedomosti mu pomáhajú pri napĺňaní kolonizačných cieľov. Pre Robina je Oxford utópiou zasvätenou honbe za vedomosťami. Tie sa však musia podriaďovať moci a Robin ako Číňan vychovaný v Británii čoskoro zistí, že službou pre Babel zrádza svoje korene. Ako pokračuje v štúdiu, čoraz viac sa zaplieta so záhadným Hermesovým spolkom, s organizáciou, ktorá sa snaží zastaviť imperiálny rozmach. Keď sa Británia vrhne do nespravodlivej vojny s Čínou pre ópium a striebro, Robin sa musí rozhodnúť, na ktorú stranu sa postaví. Dá sa mocná inštitúcia zmeniť zvnútra, alebo revolúcia vždy vyžaduje násilie?

Maková válka - Rebecca F. Kuangová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Všichni ji měli za nicku, ale stala se válečnicí, která rozmlouvá s bohy… Osiřelá dívka vyrůstající v zapadlé provincii nikdy nepoznala lásku ani opravdový domov, a když se dozví, že má být provdána za bohatého starce, upne všechny své naděje i síly k obávané zkoušce kche-tü, v níž mohou obstát pouze nejnadanější žáci z celé říše. K vlastnímu překvapení i nevíře svých hodnotitelů Rin nakonec uspěje a dokonce je přijata na vytoužený Sinegard, nejprestižnější vojenskou akademii v Nikanu. Ačkoliv se nezkušená venkovanka v hlavním městě stane terčem posměchu i šikany, najde si tu časem pár přátel a získá přízeň tajemného mistra mudrosloví, který jí prozradí, že bohové jsou skuteční – a ona sama disponuje mocí je přivolat. Zároveň se jí ovšem dostane důkladného varování, aby svůj dar raději nevyužívala, neboť cena za jeho použití je příliš vysoká. Potom však do Nikanu vtrhne početná a dokonale vycvičená armáda Mukenského svazu, odvěkého nepřítele říše, s nímž v minulosti vedla a jen se štěstím vyhrála tzv. makové války, a Rin brzy pochopí, že bez pomoci bohů – a možná ani s ní – Nikan tentokrát nezvítězí… Zdařilý románový debut se stal prvním dílem fantasy trilogie nominované na ceny Hugo, Nebula i World ...

Audiokniha: Ukončila válku a nyní jde po krku své císařovně! A krom toho válčí i sama se sebou… Právě Rininou zásluhou sice říše Nikan neprohrála ani třetí makovou válku, nicméně za vítězství tvrdě zaplatili jak její obyvatelé, tak sama mladá šamanka mučená nočními můrami i neodbytným voláním boha Fénixe po další krvi. Závislost na opiu, s jehož pomocí se snaží zkrotit oheň ve svém nitru, proměnila tuto obávanou bojovnici v trosku. Touha pomstít se nenáviděné císařovně je však silnější. Rin i přeživší členové jednotky cch’-kche, která se stala hrdinčinou novou rodinou, se proto opět chápou zbraní a pod velením vojenského správce Dračí provincie usilují o svržení vládkyně Nikanu a vyhlášení nové republiky. Obávaná Zmije jim ale bude mocnou sokyní a protivníci v sobě dost možná nenajdou potřebnou vůli, aby ji o trůn připravili. A navíc – stojí vůbec poddaní o konec starých pořádků ve jménu pofiderní demokracie? Jisté je tak pouze jedno: neexistuje nic, co by Rin pro svou zemi a pomstu neobětovala… V prostřední části oceňované trilogie Maková válka se autorka inspirovala moderní historií Číny a vehnala své hrdiny do víru revoluce. „Autorka bravurně vykresluje postavu zmítanou protichůdnými emocemi. Zároveň nabízí hlubokou úvahu o strastech války a odhodlání přežít.“ ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Babylon neboli Nutnost násilí - Rebecca F. Kuangová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Básník pobíhá nespoutaně po louce. Překladatel je nucen tančit v okovech – a přece má ohromnou moc. Chlapce z čínského Kantonu potkalo štěstí v neštěstí. O nejbližší příbuzné ho sice připravila cholera, ale před smrtí v bídě ho uchrání britský profesor Lovell. Předloží mu nabídku, o níž se většině sirotků může leda zdát: když se bude hoch vzdělávat v jazycích, pro něž má zvláštní nadání, zařídí mu učený muž život v pohodlí. Hrdina tedy přijme nové anglické jméno Robin i svůj úděl a vydává se do Oxfordu, aby v elitním ústavu Babylon studoval stříbrodělství – magické umění překladatelství. Sejde se tu s podobně talentovanými vrstevníky z dalších zemí. Všem se dostalo blahobytných výsad, avšak za podmínek, kterým tak docela nerozumějí a o něž mohou kdykoli přijít. Zvlášť kdyby se zapletli s nesprávnými osobami. Jenže jak poznat, co je ve skutečnosti správné, když Britové žijí v přepychu díky pokladům z kolonií, zatímco původní spoluobčané mladých překladatelů jsou prachsprostě vykořisťováni? Historická fantasy zpracovává nejen téma národní identity v čase dějinných křivd, ale líčí i roli jazyka při budování pomyslných kulturních mostů. Román získal řadu literárních ocenění, mj. cenu Nebula za nejlepší knihu roku 2022, British Book Award za nejlepší prózu a ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Spalující bůh - Rebecca F. Kuangová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: „Nenávist byla dalším druhem ohně a hřála, když nebylo k dispozici nic jiného.“ Z nevýznamné vesnické siroty v chudé jižní provincii se Rin pozvedla až k nejvyšším příčkám velení armády Nikanu. Přesto je vítězství pro její národ, jemuž obětovala vše, stále v nedohlednu. Ačkoli získala podporu tisíců prostých lidí, řady mocných protivníků se zdají nekonečné. Dračí republika, kolonisti ze Západu i nenáviděný Ne-ča – s těmi všemi se musí vypořádat, zatímco spojenců naopak ubývá. A ti, kdo zůstávají, jsou kluzcí jako hadi. K tomu, aby Rin zvítězila a dosáhla vytoužené svobody, bude muset zkusit dosud nepoznané cesty a hledat přátele na nejméně pravděpodobných místech. Hlas ohnivého boha Fénixe však v její mysli sílí a odolat pokušení spálit svět na popel bude čím dál těžší. Zvlášť když se v ohrožení ocitne to, co je jí nejdražší… Epické finále oceňované trilogie inspirované moderní historií Číny přináší dramatické zvraty i syrový pohled na válku a její důsledky. „Kuangová v závěru své komplexní trilogie Maková válka odhaluje zničující cenu a nesmírné oběti, které tyto střety vyžadují od všech zúčastněných.“ – Booklist „Spalující bůh je vynikající kniha a celá trilogie patří k mistrovským dílům.

Audiokniha: Darovanému koni na zuby nehleď. A kradenému už vůbec ne. Spisovatelce Atheně Liu může každý jen závidět. Hned po studiích na Yaleu vydala u velkého nakladatelství prvotinu, která ji vystřelila do nebeských výšin. Románům o jejích asijských kořenech se dostává uznání u kritiků i čtenářů, ocenění se na ni hrnou ze všech stran, překlady vycházejí po celém světě, peníze se sypou a do toho se ozývá studio s nabídkou odkupu filmových práv. Athena je mladá, krásná a úspěšná. A především mrtvá. June Haywardová byla přímo u toho, když se její spolužačka udusila kusem palačinky. Přestože cítí smutek, cynické já jí našeptává, že teď má konečně šanci prorazit. Doposud se ve spisovatelském světě potácela neviditelnými uličkami a úspěch nedostižné kolegyně nesla nelibě. S rukopisem, který z Athenina bytu oné osudné noci odnesla, by však mohla zazářit. Tak proč to nerisknout a nevydat ho pod svým jménem? Pravé autorce už to přece může být jedno, ne? Nebo vy byste se zachovali jinak, kdybyste měli všechny sny nadosah? Satira oceňované bestselleristky odhaluje cynické zákruty fungování knižního byznysu, v němž nejde ani tak o umění, jako spíš o prestiž a peníze.

Winner of the Reddit Fantasy Award for Best Debut 2018 ‘The best fantasy debut of 2018’ – WIRED From the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface comes an all-new, fully illustrated, collector’s edition of R. F. Kuang’s debut novel, The Poppy War.Considered one of Time Magazine’s 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time, the story of orphaned Rin’s rise to power gets a fresh look with black-and-white interior art by JungShan Chang throughout. A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic. When Rin aced the Keju – the test to find the most talented students in the Empire – it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude.That she got into Sinegard – the most elite military school in Nikan – was even more surprising.

Babel - Gaston Dorren
If you were to master the twenty languages discussed in Babel, you could talk with three quarters of the world's population. But what makes these languages stand out amid the world's estimated 6,500 tongues?Gaston Dorren delves deep into the linguistic oddities and extraordinary stories of these diverse lingua francas, tracing their origins and their sometimes bloody rise to greatness. He deciphers their bewildering array of scripts, presents the gems and gaps in their vocabularies and charts their coinages and loans.He even explains how their grammars order their speakers' worldview. Combining linguistics and cultural history, Babel takes us on an intriguing tour of the world, addressing such questions as how tiny Portugal spawned a major world language and Holland didn't, why Japanese women talk differently from men, what it means for Russian to be 'related' to English, and how non-alphabetic scripts, such as those of India and China, do the same job as our 26 letters. Not to mention the conundrums of why Vietnamese has four forms for 'I', or how Tamil pronouns keep humans and deities apart.Babel will change the way you look at the world and how we all speak.

Before and after Babel - Marc Van De Mieroop
“The Lord confused the language of all the earth,†so the Tower of Babel story in the Hebrew Bible''s book of Genesis tells us to explain why the world''s people communicate in countless languages while previously they all spoke only one. This book argues that the biblical confusion really happened in the ancient Near East, not in speech, however, but in writing. It examines the millennia-long history of writing in the region and shows a radical change from the third and second millennia to the first millennium BC. Before “Babel†any intellectual who wrote did so as a participant in a cosmopolitan tradition with its roots in Babylonia, its language, and its cuneiform script. After “Babel†scribes from all over the eastern Mediterranean, including Greece, used a profusion of vernacular languages and scripts to express themselves. Yet they did so in dialogue with the Babylonian cuneiform tradition still maintained by the successive Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian empires that controlled their world, oftentimes as acts of resistance, aware of cosmopolitan ideas and motifs but subverting them. In order to frame the rich intellectual history of this region in the ancient past Before and after Babel describes and analyzes the Babylonian cosmopolitan ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Red Cavalry and Other Stories - Isaac Babel
Throughout his life Isaac Babel was torn by opposing forces, by the desire both to remain faithful to his Jewish roots and yet to be free of them. This duality of vision infuses his work with a powerful energy from the earliest tales including ''Old Shloyme'' and ''Childhood'', which affirm his Russian-Jewish childhood, to the relatively non-Jewish world of his collection of stories entitled ''Red Cavalry''. Babel''s masterpiece, ''Red Cavalry'' is the most dramatic expression of his dualism and in his simultaneous acceptance and rejection of his heritage heralds the great American-Jewish writers from Henry Roth to Saul Bellow and Philip Roth.

Small parts might be swallowed or inhaled. On a tiny sheet of paper, this message is translated into dozens of languages - the world boiled down to a multilingual essence.

A právě král zlodějů a hrdlořez Beňa Kryk se stal ústředním hrdinou našeho příběhu.Překlad: Jan Zábrana, režie: Jiří Horčička

Oděské povídky. Historie mého holubníku - Isaak Babel
V Oděských povídkách Babel líčí život židovského "drobného lidu" na počátku 20. století, především zlodějů, lupičů, ale také řemeslníků a drobných obchodníků. Víc než kde jinde vystupuje v těchto povídkách do popředí Babelův smysl pro černý humor. Texty souboru Historie mého holubníku patří mezi nejkrásnější povídky o dětství v celé světové literatuře, i když na rozdíl od tradičního pojetí tohoto období jako ztraceného ráje v nich nalézáme překvapující trpkost a trýznivé rozpomínání na mladá léta, sešněrovaná přísnou tradiční výchovou v excentrické rodině, která si neumí poradit sama se sebou; drtivý je však i okolní svět stále hrozící násilím - "svět, v němž se nenaplňuje, ale rozplývá svět dítěte, které šlo pro holuby a prošlo pogromem".

Rise Sister Rise - Rebecca Campbell
Rise Sister Rise is a call to arms for our sacred feminine to rise up, tell the truth, and lead. From Rebecca Campbell, a writer, mystic, devotional creative, and visionary who supports hundreds of thousands of people to connect with their soul and weave the sacred back into their everyday life.It is for those who agreed at soul level to be here at this stage in history to lead this global shift that the mystics of the ages have predicted: the return of the mother and the rise of the feminine. Rebecca says: Rise for you, rise for me, when you rise first you rise for She. Many of us have spent much of our working lives "making it" in a man’s world, leaning on patriarchal methods of survival in order to succeed, dulling down our intuition, and ignoring the fierce power of the feminine. We have ignored the cycles of the feminine in order to survive in a patriarchal linear system – but now the world has changed.Here Are Some of the Chapters in Rise, Sister Rise:Part I - Rebecca''s Story · The Unbinding· The Wise Women· Work Baby· Shakti Rising· Returning to Avalon· Tools for Your Rising Part ...

Becky Lynch: The Man - Rebecca Quin
Bestseller in the UK, Sunday Times, April 2024By age seven, Rebecca Quin, now known in the ring as Becky Lynch, was already defying what the world expected of her.Raised in Dublin, Ireland in a devoutly Catholic family, Rebecca constantly invented new ways to make her mother worry - roughhousing with the neighbourhood kids, getting older and hosting secret parties while her parents were away, enrolling in a warehouse wrestling school, nearly breaking her neck and almost kneecapping a WWE star before her own wrestling career even began - and she was always in search of a thrilling escape from the ordinary.Rebecca''s deep love of wrestling as a child set her on an unlikely path. With few female athletes to look to for guidance, Rebecca pursued a wrestling career hoping to change the culture and move away from the antiquated disrespect so often shown directed at the elite female athletes that grace the ring. Even as a teenager, she knew that she would stop at nothing to earn a space among the greatest wrestlers of our time, and to pave a new path for female fighters.Culled from decades of journal entries, Rebecca''s memoir offers a raw, personal, and honest depiction of ...

Rebecca's Tale - Beauman Sally
On the twentieth anniversary of the death of Rebecca, the hauntingly beautiful first wife of Maxim de Winter, family friend Colonel Julyan receives an anonymous parcel. It contains a black notebook with two handwritten words on the title page -- Rebecca''s Tale -- and two pictures: a photograph of Rebecca as a young child and a postcard of Manderley. Rebecca once asked Julyan to ensure she was buried in the churchyard facing the sea: if she ended up in the de Winter crypt, she warned, she''d come back to haunt him. Now, it seems, she has finally kept her promise.Julyan''s conscience has never been clear over the official version of Rebecca''s death. Was Rebecca the manipulative, promiscuous femme fatale her husband claimed. Or the gothic heroine of tragic proportions that others had suggested.

A maternity leave murder mystery, complete with postpartum physiotherapy and suspicious grocery store footageRebecca’s got an eight-month-old baby and a mystery to investigate! Late one summer night as she’s breastfeeding Lucie, she spots two men carrying something heavy into a white minivan. It’s probably nothing serious, but when Rebecca hears that a home health care provider named Eduardo Morales disappeared from the neighbourhood that very night, she puts her detective hat on and gets to work.Over the course of the subsequent weeks, Rebecca juggles motherhood and detective work—alternating between unproductive visits with the Simard family, for whom the missing Eduardo worked, and tearful visits to potential daycares for Lucie. She faces down inconclusive interviews with evasive subjects and inconveniently timed diaper changes. Pascal Girard’s observational humor and perfect timing shine through each page, highlighting how Rebecca’s (over)confident, brash approach gets results, not just with the troublesome Simards but with everyone in her life.Rebecca and Lucie in the Case of the Missing Neighbor is a lighthearted maternity leave mystery that centers a new mother in all her postpartum glory.
