Between Two Worlds - Arthur Machen
Selected and introduced by Stephen Carver Of living creators of cosmic fear raised to its most artistic pitch, few if any can hope to equal the versatile Arthur Machen.⠙ ⠓ H.P. Lovecraft.There upon the floor was a dark and putrid mass, seething with corruption and hideous rottenness, neither liquid nor solid, but melting and changing before our eyes, and bubbling with unctuous oily bubbles like boiling pitch. And out of the midst of it shone two burning points like eyes⠦A mysterious beauty leaves a trail of suicides in her wake; an innocent child is indoctrinated into witchcraft and depravity; the bowmen of Agincourt come to the aid of the British Expeditionary Force; animals inexplicably start killing people; and a fragment of Paradise randomly manifests in a London suburb⠦ Welcome to the weird world of Arthur Machen, a writer that H.P. Lovecraft hailed as a ⠘Master of Horror.⠙ Machen fervently believed in a mystical and eternal reality hidden beyond the veil of ordinary existence, that could be glimpsed by those who knew how to look. Sometimes the revelation would be beautiful, sometimes terrible. Using the mediums of horror and weird fantasy, Machen set out to unlock these visions of ⠘Sorcery and sanctity.⠙This collection comprises the majority of Machen⠙s short horror fiction, including his Decadent masterpiece The Great God Pan, his tales of the malevolent ⠘Little People⠙ still living beneath the mountains and valleys of his native Wales, and the chilling novella The Terror.Full contents:Strange Story of a Red Jar The AutophoneA Double ReturnThe Lost ClubThe Great God PanThe Inmost LightThe Shining PyramidNovel of the Black SealNovel of the Iron MaidNovel of the White PowderThe Red Hand The White PeopleThe BowmenThe Soldiers⠙ Rest The Monstrance The Great Return Out of the Earth The Terror The Happy Children Ornaments in Jade: -The Rose Garden -The Turanians -The Idealist -Witchcraft -The Ceremony -Psychology -Torture -Midsummer -Nature -The Holy Things Opening the Door The Bright Boy The Children of the Pool The Exalted Omega Out of the Picture Change The Cosy Room N The Dover Road Ritual Appendix: Introduction to The Bowmen

The Great God Pan and Other Horror Stories - Arthur Machen
Something pushed out from the body there on the floor, and stretched forth a slimy, wavering tentacle...Perhaps no figure better embodies the transition from the Gothic tradition to modern horror than Arthur Machen. In the final decade of the nineteenth century, the Welsh writer produced a seminal body of tales of occult horror, spiritual and physical corruption, and malignant survivals from the primeval past which horrified and scandalised-late-Victorian readers. Machen s weird fiction has influenced generations of storytellers, from H. P. Lovecraft to Guillermo Del Toro-and it remains no less unsettling today.This new collection, which includes the complete novel The Three Impostors as well as such celebrated tales as The Great God Pan and The White People, constitutes the most comprehensive critical edition of Machen yet to appear. In addition to the core late-Victorian horror classics, a selection of lesser-known prose poems and later tales helps to present a fuller picture of the development of Machen s weird vision. The edition s introduction and notes contextualise the life and work of this foundational figure in the history of horror.

Traja podvodníci - Arthur Machen
Slávny welšský prozaik Arthur Machen (1863 - 1947) vytvoril zbierku mrazivo tajomných poviedok, ktoré prepojil do brilantného neo-gotického románového celku s prekvapivou pointou. Dvojica zanietených milovníkov života a klasickej literatúry sa čoraz hlbšie zaplieta do vražedného sprisahania, ktorého temné chápadlá sa rozprestierajú nad zdanlivo pokojnými uličkami londýnskeho predmestia. Obaja priatelia netušia, že vďaka zdanlivo náhodne vypočutým bizarným príbehom sa stávajú súčasťou obludného plánu okultného podsvetia. Román Traja podvodníci (1895) patrí medzi Machenove najznámejšie a najrešpektovanejšie diela a ich autor je považovaný za jedného z najinšpiratívnejších tvorcov hororovej literatúry.

The White People and Other Weird Stories - Arthur Machen
Machen s weird tales of the creepy and fantastic finally come to Penguin Classics. With an introduction from S.T. Joshi, editor of AMERICAN SUPERNATURAL TALES, THE WHITE PEOPLE AND OTHER WEIRD STORIES is the perfect introduction to the father of weird fiction. The title story The White People is an exercise in the bizarre leaving the reader disoriented and on edge. From the first page, Machen turns even fundamental truths upside-down, as his character Ambrose explains, there have been those who have sounded the very depths of sin, who all their lives have never done an ill deed setting the stage for a tale entirely without logic --

Viewed as immoral and decadent on first publication in 1894, Machen s weird tale has since established itself as a classic of its genre and has been described by Stephen King as one of the best horror stories ever written. Maybe the best in the English language .

Between Two Rivers - Moudhy Al-Rashid
I have never read a book on Mesopotamia that so beautifully brings to life the people themselves ... It melts away the sense of time. TOM HOLLAND Tender, moving and vivid. ROBERT MACFARLANE Beautiful STEPHEN GREENBLATT Fascinating and magnificent, beautifully written and explained: this book is a masterpiece. GEORGE MONBIOT Ancient Mesopotamia comes alive in Moudhy Al-Rashid s must-read, millennia-spanning history ... spellbinding NEW SCIENTIST----------Thousands of years ago, in a part of the world we now call ancient Mesopotamia, people began writing things down for the very first time.What they left behind, in a vast region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, preserves leaps in human ingenuity, like the earliest depiction of a wheel and the first approximation of pi. But they also capture breathtakingly intimate, raw and relatable moments, like a dog s paw prints as it accidentally stepped into fresh clay, or the imprint of a child s teeth.In Between Two Rivers, historian Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid reveals what these ancient people chose to record about their lives, allowing us to brush hands with them millennia later. We find a lullaby to soothe a baby, instructions for exorcising a ghost, countless receipts for beer, and the adorable, messy writing of preschoolers. We meet an enslaved person negotiating their freedom, an astronomer tracing the movement of the planets, a princess who may have created the world s first museum, and a working mother struggling with the juggle in 1900 BCE.Together, these fragments illuminate not just the history of Mesopotamia, but the story of how history was made.

Between Two Kingdoms - Suleika Jaouadová
We all face moments that bring us to our knees: heartbreak, trauma, illness. When things don t go to plan this is the book to reach for - an inspirational memoir about what we can learn about life from a brush with death. At just twenty-two, on the cusp of adult life, Suleika Jaouad was diagnosed with leukemia and given a 35 per cent chance of survival.For the next five years, her world comprised four white walls, a hospital bed, fluorescent lights, tubes and wires. She became patient 5624. At twenty-seven, and celebrating her first year of remission, Suleika realized that, having survived, she now had no idea how to live.And so she set out to meet some of the many strangers who had written to her about their experiences of life, death, healing and recovery in response to her Emmy-Award winning New York Times column, Life Interrupted . Between Two Kingdoms is the result. Drawing on Suleika s TED Talk What almost dying taught me about living with over 4 million views, it illuminates universal questions about how we live, mourn, heal and grow up, and what it means to begin again.

Between Two Waters - Pam Brunton
An insider critique of the food business by award-winning chef Pam Brunton, interrogating sustainability in food culture and documenting the early days of her Green Michelin Star restaurant InverWhen world-class chef Pam first opened Inver, her restaurant on the shores of Loch Fyne, she set out to discover what makes modern Scottish food - or if it even existed. This book traces Pam s journey to answer that question and in doing so reveals what we can all gather from our culinary heritage. Part memoir, part manifesto on the future of feeding the world and a feminist critique of the food business, it documents the difficult early days of her now multiple award-winning restaurant, reflecting on how the immersive experience of destination restaurants can both help and hinder our understanding of wider land and food culture.From the soil to the kitchen, Between Two Waters interrogates the influences on what we eat: capitalism, colonialism and gender, as well as our own personal and cultural histories. Yet it also captures with real heart all that the dinner table has to offer us: sustenance, both physical and imaginative, challenges and adventure and, most importantly, communion with others.More than anything, it is a blisteringly original work from one of the world s most innovative thinkers about food, sustainability and landscape.

Here, you will invoke the tools of depth psychology, classical literature, philosophy, dreamwork, and myth to gain access to the resources that supported our ancestors through their darkest hours.Though our current challenges may be unique, finding a way forward has always come through our measureless capacity for creativity, wisdom, and connection to a reality larger than ourselves.

The Bridge Between Worlds - Gavin Francis
In a world increasingly preoccupied by borders, bridges celebrate the possibility of connection, allowing the flow of goods, people and ideas. Bridges are among our grandest physical structures with the power of transforming lives and economies, but we also stand (or fall) upon the simple arch of bones in our feet. Text is a bridge between writer and reader, and conversation builds bridges of understanding between minds. Dr Gavin Francis has spent his life fascinated by the power of bridges to improve human connection. In The Bridge Between Worlds he examines bridges both actual and metaphorical, on a journey through more than twenty countries, across four decades of travel. From Rome s Ponte Sant Angelo to Brooklyn, Victoria Falls to London, Singapore to Siberia, this thought-provoking book reflects on connections between nations and between individuals. Francis demonstrates what the building of bridges has meant to our civilisation, how crossings can enrich our lives, and the price we pay when we tear them down.

The Death of King Arthur - Peter Ackroyd
A gripping retelling of the timeless epic of romance, enchantment and adventure, Peter Ackroyd s The Death of King Arthur recasts Sir Thomas Malory s Le Morte d Arthur in clear, compelling modern English prose, published in Penguin Classics. In the old wild days of the world there was a King of England known as Uther Pendragon; he was a dragon in wrath as well as in power ... Born with the help of Merlin s magic, blessed with the sword of Excalibur, Arthur becomes King of a troubled England, beginning a golden age of chivalry at the court of Camelot. But his reign is soon to be torn apart by violence, revenge and tragedy ...Sir Thomas Malory s Le Morte d Arthur made the legend of King Arthur immortal. Now Peter Ackroyd s retelling brings his timeless story of love, heroism and betrayal to new life for our times.Sir Thomas Malory (c.1405-1471) was a knight and estate owner in the mid 15th century, who spent many years in prison for political crimes as well as robbery. He wrote Le Morte d Arthur, the first great English prose epic, while imprisoned in Newgate. Peter Ackroyd (b. 1949) is an award-winning writer and historian. Formerly literary editor of The Spectator and chief book reviewer for the The Times, he is the author of novels such as Hawksmoor (1985) and The House of Doctor Dee (1993), as well as non-fiction including Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion (2002), London: The Biography (2000), and Thames: Sacred River (2007). If you enjoyed The Death of King Arthur, you might like Ackroyd s The Canterbury Tales, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. I admire this version enormously ... This story has to move with both swiftness and dignity, and yoking those two qualities together is not an easy task; but Ackroyd does it with ease Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials trilogy Ackroyd s lightly trimmed and streamlined Le Morte d Arthur makes it eminently readable Sunday Times

King Arthur
A new translation of the classic English poem that inspired Malory, stunningly illustrated with linocuts by the author.King Arthur’s Death (commonly referred to as the Alliterative Morte Arthure) is a Middle English poem that was written in Lincolnshire at the end of the fourteenth century. A source work for Malory’s later Morte d’Arthur, it is an epic tale which documents the horrors of war, the loneliness of kingship and the terrible price paid for arrogance.This magnificent poem tells of the arrival of emissaries from Imperial Rome demanding that Arthur pays his dues as a subject. It is Arthur’s refusal to accept these demands, and the premise of foreign domination, which leads him on a quest to confront his foes and challenge them for command of his lands.Combining heroic action, probing insight into human frailty and a great attention to contemporary detail, King Arthur’s Death is not only a lesson in effective kingship, it is also an astonishing mirror on our own times, highlighting the folly of letting stubborn dogma drive political decisions.

The Bright Sword: A Novel of King Arthur - Lev Grossman
A gifted young knight named Collum arrives at Camelot to compete for a spot on the Round Table, only to find that he’s too late. The king died two weeks ago at the Battle of Camlann, leaving no heir, and only a handful of the knights of the Round Table survive. They aren’t the heroes of legend, like Lancelot or Gawain. They’re the oddballs of the Round Table, from the edges of the stories, like Sir Palomides, the Saracen Knight, and Sir Dagonet, Arthur’s fool, who was knighted as a joke. They’re joined by Nimue, who was Merlin’s apprentice until she turned on him and buried him under a hill. Together this ragtag fellowship will set out to rebuild Camelot in a world that has lost its balance. But Arthur’s death has revealed Britain’s fault lines. God has abandoned it, and the fairies and monsters and old gods are returning, led by Arthur’s half-sister Morgan le Fay. Kingdoms are turning on each other, warlords lay siege to Camelot and rival factions are forming around the disgraced Lancelot and the fallen Queen Guinevere. It is up to Collum and his companions to reclaim Excalibur, solve the mysteries of this ruined world and make it whole again. But before they can restore Camelot they’ll have to learn the truth of why the lonely, brilliant King Arthur fell, and lay to rest the ghosts of his troubled family and of Britain’s dark past. The first major Arthurian epic of the new millennium, The Bright Sword is steeped in tradition, full of duels and quests, battles and tournaments, magic swords and Fisher Kings. It also sheds a fresh light on Arthur’s Britain, a diverse, complex nation struggling to come to terms with its bloody history. The Bright Sword is a story about imperfect men and women, full of strength and pain, who are looking for a way to reforge a broken land in spite of being broken themselves.

SHERLOCK HOLMES ve státních službách - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - audiokniha
Audiokniha: PRVNÍ ROZHLASOVÁ HRA VYSÍLANÁ PO 70 LETECH ŽIVĚ 17. 9. 2017 „Obstarali jsme si i zelnou hlávku, abychom mohli zachytit samotný okamžik vraždy“ Artur Conan Doyle: SHERLOCK HOLMES ve státních službách Sherlock Holmes: Honza Hájek John Watson: Pavel Batěk Fama Quartet Dále účinkují: Marika Procházková, Lukáš Příkazký, Jana Boušková, Tomáš Pavelka, Ladislav Hampl, Jiří Hána a Hanuš Bor Reportáž: Tomáš Černý Režie: Vít Vencl Povídka Bruce-Partingtonovy dokumenty vyšla časopisecky v roce 1908. Během první světové války ji Arthur Conan Doyle zařadil do knihy Poslední poklona Sherlocka Holmese (1917), zřejmě i díky jejímu vlasteneckému podtextu. Později ji zahrnul i do seznamu svých nejoblíbenějších povídek. Čtyři mikrofony, u kterých se střídají herci, kout pro ruchaře a muzikanti strčení v díře... Naposledy se takhle u nás rozhlasová hra vysílala v roce 1948. Retro spojení snad nejklasičtější detektivky a dřevního způsobu natáčení se zdá velmi inspirativní. A to nejen kvůli blízkosti časů zrodu, ale především obdobným potenciálem hravosti a nadhledu. „V přímém přenosu vytvoříme ve vinohradském Studiu 2 s pomocí ruchařů i přítomných diváků ulice Londýna, byt v Baker Street i restauraci, kde se Sherlock schází s dr. Watsonem. Při odhalování vraha budeme přelézat zdi, rozbíjet okna i páčit pokladny,“ slibuje režisér inscenace Vít Vencl. „Studio 2 ještě živé vysílání her pamatuje, vlastně pro ně tenkrát bylo i zkonstruováno,“ vysvětluje Vít Vencl. Kromě herců, ruchařů a smyčcového kvarteta se ve studiu našlo místo i pro několik diváků, kteří se v určitých částech hry stávali její součástí. Například při scéně v restauraci, kde se Holmes sejde s doktorem Watsonem, vytvářeli ruch místnosti plné lidí.“ Máte-li zájem o recenzní CD, pište na adresu: monika.oweyssi@rozhlas.cz Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle byl anglický autor detektivních próz, nejvýznamnější představitel tohoto žánru ve světové literatuře. Inspirován dílem Wilkieho Collinse a Edgara Allana Poea, ovlivnil Arthur Doyle všechny pozdější významné autory detektivek. Vytvořil postavy geniálního detektiva Sherlocka Holmese, udivujícího brilántní dedukcí i hrou na housle, a jeho přítele, spolupracovníka a obdivovatele dr. Watsona. Inspirací pro postavu Sherlocka Holmese byl dr. Joseph Bell, jeden z profesorů, kterého Doyle potkal při svých studiích medicíny.

The Fall of Arthur - J. R. R. Tolkien
The world first publication of a previously unknown work by J.R.R. Tolkien, which tells the extraordinary story of the final days of Englandâ ™s legendary hero, King Arthur.The Fall of Arthur, the only venture by J.R.R. Tolkien into the legends of Arthur King of Britain, may well be regarded as his finest and most skilful achievement in the use of the Old English alliterative metre, in which he brought to his transforming perceptions of the old narratives a pervasive sense of the grave and fateful nature of all that is told: of Arthurâ ™s expedition overseas into distant heathen lands, of Guinevereâ ™s flight from Camelot, of the great sea-battle on Arthurâ ™s return to Britain, in the portrait of the traitor Mordred, in the tormented doubts of Lancelot in his French castle.Unhappily, The Fall of Arthur was one of several long narrative poems that he abandoned in that period. In this case he evidently began it in the earlier nineteen-thirties, and it was sufficiently advanced for him to send it to a very perceptive friend who read it with great enthusiasm at the end of 1934 and urgently pressed him â ˜You simply must finish it!â ™ But in vain: he abandoned it, at some date unknown, though there is some evidence that it may have been in 1937, the year of the publication of The Hobbit and the first stirrings of The Lord of the Rings. Years later, in a letter of 1955, he said that â ˜he hoped to finish a long poem on The Fall of Arthurâ ™; but that day never came.Associated with the text of the poem, however, are many manuscript pages: a great quantity of drafting and experimentation in verse, in which the strange evolution of the poemâ ™s structure is revealed, together with narrative synopses and very significant if tantalising notes. In these latter can be discerned clear if mysterious associations of the Arthurian conclusion with The Silmarillion, and the bitter ending of the love of Lancelot and Guinevere, which was never written.

Inspirován dílem Wilkieho Collinse a Edgara Allana Poea, ovlivnil Arthur Doyle všechny pozdější významné autory detektivek.

Arthur Rimbaud: Complete Works - Arthur Rimbaud
“The hallucinatory prose-poems of Arthur Rimbaud rank among the glories of 19th-century French literature.” — New York TimesOne of the world s most influential poets, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) is remembered as much for his volatile personality and tumultuous life as he is for his writings, almost all of which he produced before the age of twenty. Paul Schmidt s acclaimed collection brings together his complete poetry, prose, and letters, including The Drunken Boat, The Orphans New Year, After the Flood, and A Season in Hell. Complete Works is divided into eight seasons —Childhood, the Open Road, War, the Tormented Heart, the Visionary, the Damned Soul, a Few Belated Cowardices, and the Man with the Wind at His Heels—that reflect the facets of Rimbaud s life. Insightful commentary by Schmidt reveals the courage, vision, and imagination of Rimbaud s poetry and sheds light on one of the most enigmatic figures in letters.
