New Space Opera 2 - kolektiv autorů
New Space Opera 2 - to je devatenáct nových a u nás dosud nevydaných příběhů, které znovu přinášejí barvitá dobrodružství z dalekého i blízkého vesmíru. Opět jde o povídky, jež tvoří samotné jádro žánru science fiction a jistě nezklamou žádného z jeho příznivců. Kdo by si ostatně nechal ujít dramatické výpravy do dosud neprozkoumaných oblastí, v nichž se krása pojí s všudypřítomným nebezpečím a jediná chyba vás může stát to nejcennější - život. Nouze nebude ani o setkání s mimozemskými druhy a opomenout nelze ani vesmírné bitvy, záhadné artefakty a řadu dalších atraktivních motivů, bez nichž by se správná space opera jednoduše neobešla. Proslulá editorská dvojice Gardner Dozois a Jonathan Strahan skvělým způsobem navázala na úspěch antologie New Space Opera a stejně jako u předchozího svazku, si i tentokrát po zásluze odnesla prestižní ocenění Locus pro nejlepší antologii daného ročníku. Na stránkách této knihy se navíc neobjevuje žádný z přispěvatelů předchozího výběru, naopak jde o zcela novou skupinu spisovatelů, ačkoli jejich věhlas ani kvalita odvedené práce není o nic menší, což ostatně dokazuje i cena Hugo, nejvyšší žánrové ocenění, pro jednu ze zde publikovaných prací.

The Decameron Project - The New York Times Magazine
A stunning collection of new short stories originally commissioned by The New York Times Magazine as the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, from twenty-nine authors including Margaret Atwood, Tommy Orange, Colm Toibin, Kamilia Shamsie, David Mitchell and more, in a project inspired by Boccaccio’s The Decameron.When reality is surreal, only fiction can make sense of it. In 1353, Giovanni Boccaccio wrote “The Decameron”: one hundred nested tales told by a group of young men and women passing the time at a villa outside Florence while waiting out the gruesome Black Death, a plague that killed more than 25 million people. Some of the stories are silly, some are bawdy, some are like fables. In March of 2020, the editors of The New York Times Magazine created The Decameron Project, an anthology with a simple, time-spanning goal: to gather a collection of stories written as our current pandemic first swept the globe. How might new fiction from some of the finest writers working today help us memorialize and understand the unimaginable? And what could be learned about how this crisis will affect the art of fiction? These twenty-nine new stories, from authors including Margaret Atwood, Tommy Orange, Edwidge Danticat, and David ...

New York Short Stories - Mario Schneider
Mario Schneider has made a name for himself as a director and film composer far beyond the borders of Germany. In his photobook, New York Short Stories, which features both colour and black-and-white images, he impressively demonstrates that street photography is also one of his talents. Mario Schneider''s photographs reflect the perspective of a filmmaker and storyteller. In his images, he presents a different, quieter New York, where the hustle and bustle of the city recedes and interpersonal encounters come to the fore. Against the backdrop of this breathtaking city, Schneider captures moments that last only a fraction of a second. These are moments that reveal the souls and emotions of the people depicted and invite us to meditate on our own feelings and thoughts about the moment captured.
