Humiliated by a procedure gone terribly wrong, Weir is forced to take a position at the New Jersey Asylum for Female Lunatics, where he reigns.

'Murderland reads like a true crime thriller' SUNDAY TIMES'Haunting, elegant and fiercely intelligent' OBSERVER'Lyrically luminescent' NEW YORK TIMESA terrifying true-crime history of serial killers in the Pacific Northwest and beyond - from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Prairie FiresCaroline Fraser grew up in the shadow of Ted Bundy, the most notorious serial murderer of women in American history, surrounded by his hunting grounds and mountain body dumps, in the brooding landscape of the Pacific Northwest. But in the 1970s and 80s, Bundy was just one perpetrator amid an uncanny explosion of serial rape and murder across the region. Why so many? Why so weirdly and nightmarishly gruesome? Why the senseless rise and then sudden fall of an epidemic of serial killing? As Murderland indelibly maps the lives and careers of Bundy and his infamous peers in mayhem - the Green River Killer, the I-5 Killer, the Night Stalker, the Hillside Strangler, even Charles Manson - Fraser's Northwestern death trip begins to uncover a deeper mystery and an overlapping pattern of environmental destruction. At ground zero in Ted Bundy's Tacoma, stood one of the most poisonous lead, copper, and arsenic smelters in the world, but it was only one among many that dotted the area. As Fraser's investigation inexorably proceeds, evidence mounts that the plumes of western smelters not only sickened and blighted millions of lives, but also warped young minds, spawning a generation of serial killers. A propulsive non-fiction thriller, Murderland transcends true-crime voyeurism and noir mythology, taking readers on a profound quest into the dark heart of the real American berserk.'I highly recommend it' R.

První vydání překladu spisovatelky a básnířky Věry Linhartové, který vznikl na přelomu let 1970/71."K setkání s textem Giacomo Joyce pro mne došlo v pravou chvíli: na rozhraní dvou jazyků, na rozhraní dvou světů. [...] Jakkoli se to může zdát paradoxní, pro mne je zcela jisté, že práce na překladu Giacomo Joyce, který je pro mne na dlouhou dobu mou poslední prací v českém jazyce, mi současně umožňuje přechod k prvnímu francouzskému pokusu, kterým je text nazvaný Twor (GLM, 1974). Francouzština je mi od té chvíle, až na nepatrné výjimky a až do zcela posledních let, jediným a výlučným pracovním jazykem,"píše V. Linhartová v doslovu ke knize.Text Jamese Joyce (1882-1941) vyšel poprvé v roce 1968 ve frankfurtském nakladatelství Suhrkamp. Podle autorova rukopisu jej připravil k vydání Richard Ellmann. Ellmannovo vydání je posmrtnou publikací autorem samým nezveřejněného díla. Rukopis přepsaný do podoby školního sešitu nemá název ani nenese jméno autora. Nadpis Giacomo Joyce na přebalu je připsán cizí rukou. Podle Ellmanna vznikl úplný záznam, nejspíš s použitím starších poznámek, asi v létě 1914 v Terstu, kde Joyce pobýval v letech 1904-1915 a živil se hodinami angličtiny v jazykové škole i v zámožných terstských rodinách. Jak autorka překladu a doslovu dále uvádí, báseň "Giacomo Joyce je příběhem učitelova vztahu k mladé židovské žačce, příběh ne nepodobný Kierkegaardovu Deníku svůdce".

James Joyce''s Dubliners is an enthralling collection of modernist short stories which create a vivid picture of the day-to-day experience of Dublin life. This Penguin Classics edition includes notes and an introduction by Terence Brown.Joyce''s first major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. From ''The Sisters'', a vivid portrait of childhood faith and guilt, to ''Araby'', a timeless evocation of the inexplicable yearnings of adolescence, to ''The Dead'', in which Gabriel Conroy is gradually brought to a painful epiphany regarding the nature of his existence, Joyce draws a realistic and memorable cast of Dubliners together in an powerful exploration of overarching themes. Writing of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, he creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and of human experience.James Joyce (1882-1941), the eldest of ten children, was born in Dublin, but exiled himself to Paris at twenty as a rebellion against his upbringing. He only returned to Ireland briefly from the continent but Dublin was at heart of his greatest works, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. He lived in poverty until the last ten years of his life and was plagued by near blindness and the grief of his daughter''s mental illness.If you enjoyed Dubliners, you might like Joyce''s Ulysses, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''Joyce redeems his Dubliners, assures their identity, and makes their social existence appear permanent and immortal, like the streets they walk''Tom Paulin''Joyce''s early short stories remain undimmed in their brilliance''Sunday Times

In The Guide to James Joyce's 'Ulysses,' Patrick Hastings provides comprehensive support to readers of Joyce's magnum opus by illuminating crucial details and reveling in the mischievous genius of this unparalleled novel.

He unpacks each chapter of Ulysses with episode guides, which offer pointed and readable explanations of what occurs in the text. He also deals adroitly with many of the puzzles Joyce hoped would "keep the professors busy for centuries."

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. This heart is sore and sad. Crossed in love?The manuscript of ‘Giacomo Joyce’, written in James Joyce’s best handwriting and folded between the covers of a school notebook, was discovered in Trieste. Most likely written in 1914, some of it served as a rehearsal for passages in Ulysses. Had Joyce meant to pillage it or publish it? Either way, this fragmented evocation of unrequited desire is, in the words of Joyce’s biographer Richard Ellmann, a work of ‘small, fragile, enduring perfection’.With a new introduction by Colm Tóibín.Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Kniha - autor James Joyce, 48 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá První vydání překladu spisovatelky a básnířky Věry Linhartové, který vznikl na přelomu let 1970/71. „K setkání s textem Giacomo Joyce pro mne došlo v pravou chvíli: na rozhraní dvou jazyků, na rozhraní dvou světů. [...] Jakkoli se to může zdát paradoxní, pro mne je zcela jisté, že práce na překladu Giacomo Joyce, který je pro mne na dlouhou dobu mou poslední prací v českém jazyce, mi současně umožňuje přechod k prvnímu francouzskému pokusu, kterým je text nazvaný Twor (GLM, 1974). Francouzština je mi od té chvíle, až na nepatrné výjimky a až do zcela posledních let, jediným a výlučným pracovním jazykem,“píše V. Linhartová v doslovu ke knize. Text Jamese Joyce (1882–1941) vyšel poprvé v roce 1968 ve frankfurtském nakladatelství Suhrkamp. Podle autorova rukopisu jej připravil k vydání Richard Ellmann.

Krasopisně nasaný rukopis Giacomo Joyce byl objeven v Joyceově pozůstalosti jeho bratrem a poprvé uveřejněn více než dvacet let po autorově smrti, v 60. letech. Byla to literární senzace. Text je jakýmsi silně stylizovaným deníkem autorovy erotické fantazie a byl napsán v době před první světovou válkou, kdy Joyce pobýval v italském Terstu. Je to báseň v próze, vynikající zjitřenou poetičností a mystickým zaujetím, slovy Joyceova životopisce Richarda Ellmana "milostná báseň, která nebyla nikdy recitována". Kniha vychází v unikátní grafické úpravě s ilustracemi významného španělského výtvarníka.

Controversial, scandalous, erudite and funny, Ulysses is undisputedly a landmark of twentieth-century modernism. It charts one day – 16th June 1904 – in the lives of three inhabitants of Dublin: the advertising salesman Leopold Bloom, the artist Stephen Dedalus and Bloom’s wife Molly. Their peregrinations, thoughts and encounters form the basis of the narrative, which becomes a celebration of all human experience through the lives of specific individuals in a specific place at a specific time. Ulysses is both an experimental novel and a book intimately concerned with the events of modern life. A lively repository of literary allusion and colloquial realism, this dazzlingly innovative, ambitious novel is here presented in its 1939 Odyssey Press version, which is regarded as the most accurate text published in Joyce’s lifetime. This edition also includes over 9,000 notes by Joyce scholars Sam Slote, Marc A. Mamigonian and John Turner. James Joyce Born in Dublin, James Joyce (1882–1941) spent most of his life abroad, living in Trieste, Paris and Zurich. His writings, however, mainly centre on Dublin – most famously Ulysses, Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. He pioneered and perfected avant-garde prose techniques that saw him rise to the rank of one of Europe’s foremost Modernists.

Perhaps the greatest short story collection in the English language, James Joyce''s Dubliners is both a vivid and unflinching portrait of "dear dirty Dublin" at the turn of the twentieth century and a moral history of a nation and a people whose "golden age" has passed. His richly drawn characters-at once intensely Irish and utterly universal-may forever haunt the reader. In mesmerizing writing rich with evocative imagery, Joyce delves into the heart of the city of his birth, capturing the cadences of Dubliners'' speech and portraying with remarkable realism their outer and inner lives. This magnificent collection of fifteen stories, including such touchstones as "Araby," "Grace," and "The Dead," and in the definitive text authorized by the Joyce estate-collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions of Dubliners to reflect the author''s wishes-reveals Joyce at his most accessible and most profound.Featuring a new introduction by acclaimed writer Colum McCann and the stunning cover art and sumptuous packaging that are the hallmarks of the Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe series, this edition of Dubliners is worthy of the centennial of one of the twentieth century''s most important books.

''Like an artist working an empty sky into a busy cityscape, or an empty chair into a crowded family portrait, Joyce creates spaces where the reader is left to themselves'' Patrick McGuinness, from his Preface to Dubliners.Set in the late 19th and early 20th-century, Dubliners is made up of fifteen stories, which all sit within the realm of realism, with easily identifiable streets and a cartographic identity of the city. Alike Joyce''s other works, the collection was repeatedly rejected by publishers and he received accusations of obscurity and obscenity before it finally appeared in print on 15 June 1914. This was five years after a contract was signed, six weeks before the outbreak of World War One, and at a time when Ireland was under British Home Rule. We find an intricate account of the lives of the city''s inhabitants in Joyce''s haunted and bleak vision of Dublin.Discover these stories for the first time here, or read them afresh, and marvel at the unique stories that Joyce was able to capture, and make timeless, for us all.

Audiokniha: Před 100 lety publikoval irský spisovatel James Joyce svůj nejznámější román Odysseus, zásadní dílo moderní světové literatury. Ve všedním příběhu jednoho dne jako by ožívaly všechny příběhy světa, včetně antického mýtu o Odysseovi. Možná vás nadchne, možná bude provokovat svou "nečitelností", ale jistě vás ohromí. Román Odysseus (1922) se stal nejslavnějším dílem irského romanopisce a básníka Jamese Joyce. Mnohovrstevnatá dublinská parafráze antického mýtu. V osmnácti kapitolách tematicky vázaných k epizodám Homérovy Odyssey je s analytickou důkladností zaznamenávána všední jednodenní pouť pokřtěného irského žida Leopolda Blooma městem Dublin. V časovém úseku od 8 hod. 16. června do 8 hod. 17. června 1904 bezvýznamný žurnalista a inzertní akvizitér Bloom obstarává své pochůzky, které přes vnější banálnost opakují mytickou Odysseovu pouť z Tróje do rodné Ithaky. Homérská paralela se neuplatňuje jen v dějové architektuře Odyssea, ale také v rozvržení postav. Štěpán Dedalus odpovídá Odysseovu synovi Telemachovi. Leopold Bloom funguje jako Odysseus a Molly Bloomová jako Pénelopé. Oba se v noci na okamžik setkají, Bloom se Štěpána ujímá ve veřejném domě, nabízí mu nocleh. Štěpán odmítne, odchází a Bloom opět uléhá vedle své spící ženy Molly-Penelopy, jejíž strhující a živelný vnitřní monolog v podobě jediné nekonečné věty román uzavírá. Dublinské ulice v románu figurují jako moderní obdoba Daidalova labyrintu. Pro obvinění z pornografie byl Odysseus (první vydání románu vyšlo v Paříži v nakl. Shakespeare and Co. roku 1922, první výtisky dostal Joyce do ruky v den svých 40. narozenin) zakázán ve všech anglicky mluvících zemích, přesto se stal literární událostí. Michal Plzák

''I regret to see that my book has turned out un fiasco solenne''James Joyce''s disillusion with the publication of Dubliners in 1914 was the result of ten years battling with publishers, resisting their demands to remove swear words, real place names and much else, including two entire stories. Although only 24 when he signed his first publishing contract for the book, Joyce already knew its worth: to alter it in any way would ''retard the course of civilisation in Ireland''.Joyce''s aim was to tell the truth - to create a work of art that would reflect life in Ireland at the turn of the last century and by rejecting euphemism, reveal to the Irish the unromantic reality the recognition of which would lead to the spiritual liberation of the country. Each of the fifteen stories offers a glimpse of the lives of ordinary Dubliners - a death, an encounter, an opportunity not taken, a memory rekindled - and collectively they paint a portrait of a nation. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

** Longlisted for the 2024 Cundill History Prize**‘A dozen pages in I realized that I had been waiting for much of my life to read this extraordinary book’ Annie ProulxA way of life that once encompassed most of humanity is vanishing in one of the greatest transformations of our time: the eclipse of the rural world by the urban. In this new history of peasantry, Patrick Joyce tells the story of this lost world and its people. In contrast to the usual insulting stereotypes, we discover a rich and complex culture: traditions, songs, celebrations and revolts, across Europe from the plains of Poland to the farmsteads and villages of Italy and Ireland, through the nineteenth century to the present day. Into this passionate history, written with exquisite care, Joyce weaves remarkable individual stories, including those of his own Irish family, and looks at how peasant life has been remembered - and misremembered - in contemporary culture. This is a people whose voice is vastly underrepresented in human history. Yet for Joyce, we are all the children of peasants, who must respect the experience of our ancestors. This is particularly pressing when our knowledge of the land is being lost to climate crisis and the rise of industrial agriculture. Enlightening, timely and vital, this book commemorates an extraordinary culture whose impact on our history and our future remains profoundly relevant.

Enter the magical world of La Llorona with New York Times bestselling author Joyce Maynard. After a childhood filled with heartbreak, Irene, a talented artist, finds herself in a small Central American village where she checks into a beautiful but decaying lakefront hotel called La Llorona at the base of a volcano. The Bird Hotel tells the story of this young American who, after suffering tragedy, restores and runs La Llorona. Along the way we meet a rich assortment of characters who live in the village or come to stay at the hotel. With a mystery at its center and filled with warmth, drama, romance, humor, pop culture, and a little magical realism, The Bird Hotel has all the hallmarks of a Joyce Maynard novel that have made her a leading voice of her generation. The Bird Hotel is a big, sweeping story spanning four decades, offering lyricism as well as whimsy. While the world New York Times bestselling author Joyce Maynard brings to life on the page is rendered from her imagination, it’s one informed by the more than twenty years of which she has spent a significant amount of her time in a small Mayan indigenous village in Guatemala. As the New York Times said, "[Maynard] has an unswerving eye, a sharply perked ear, and the ability to keep her readers hanging on her words." People Magazine said of her: "Maynard’s spare prose packs a rich emotional punch.”

The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to blossom fully into themselves.

A group portrait made up of 15 short stories about the inhabitants of Joyce's native city, he offers a subtle critique of his own town, imbuing the text with an underlying tone of tragedy. Through his various characters he displays the complicated relationships, hardships and mundane details of everyday life and the desire for escape - a yearning that so closely mirrored his own experiences.

Living overseas but writing, always, about his native city, Joyce made Dublin unforgettable. The stories in Dubliners show us truants, seducers, gossips, rally-drivers, generous hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians, struggling musicians, moony adolescents, victims of domestic brutishness, sentimental aunts and poets, patriots earnest or cynical, and people striving to get by. In every sense an international figure, Joyce was faithful to his own country by seeing it unflinchingly and challenging every precedent and piety in Irish literature.

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr. Jacqueline Belanger, University of Cardiff.A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man represents the transitional stage between the realism of Joyce''s Dubliners and the symbolism of Ulysses, and is essential to the understanding of the later work.This novel is a highly autobiographical account of the adolescence of Stephen Dedalus, who reappears in Ulysses, and who comes to realize that before he can become a true artist, he must rid himself of the stultifying effects of the religion, politics and essential bigotry of his background in late 19th century Ireland.Written with a light touch, this is perhaps the most accessible of Joyce’s works.
