Brodie’s decade-long record of his transient American life, brimming with poignant stories of those he encountered along the wayMike Brodie’s first monograph, A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, touched down more than decade ago, depicting his fellow rail-riders and drifters in a rebellious and wildfire pursuit of adventure and freedom. “Brodie leapt into the life of picture-making as if he was the first to do it,” Danny Lyon wrote about the book in Aperture. Next came Tones of Dirt and Bone, a collection of earlier SX-70 pictures Brodie made when photography first led him to hopping freights, when he was known as “The Polaroid Kidd.” And then Brodie seemed to disappear from the art world as suddenly and mysteriously as he’d first appeared. Maybe his vanishing was another myth. Maybe it was just a necessary retreat. “I was divorcing myself from all that,” he says. “I was growing up. I was pursuing this other life.”If A Period of Juvenile Prosperity was a cinematic dream, Failing is the awakening and the reckoning: a raw, wounded and searingly honest photographic diary of a decade marked by love and heartbreak, loss and grief. Here is the flip side of the American dream, seen from ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Obrazy Jiřího Brodiny jsou z dobrého světa. Je to svět něhy, ticha, pastelových barev a pohody. Všechny náměty, sváteční, zdánlivě všední i výjimečné, jsou stejně hezké a poetické. Mají v sobě humor podobný laskavému pohlazení a posvátný klid stromů. Podobají se osamělým lípám a silným dubům, které dlouhé roky stojí a šumí uprostřed luk a polí. Jsou to vznešení pamětníci, české stromy s holubičí povahou a tiše zpívají zpěvy staré Číny. Silný urostlý strom s košatou korunou připomíná sám malíř. Stojí oběma nohama pevně na zemi, rozhlíží se po podbrdském kraji a vesnici Všeradicích, kde žije. Pokuřuje doutníky, popíjí víno a maluje obrazy s duší. Žije na zemi, pozoruje reálný svět a tvoří obrazy z dobrého světa.

The brevity of Muriel Spark''s novels is equaled only by their brilliance. These four novels, each a miniature masterpiece, illustrate her development over four decades. Despite the seriousness of their themes, all four are fantastic comedies of manners, bristling with wit.Spark''s most celebrated novel, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE, tells the story of a charismatic schoolteacher''s catastrophic effect on her pupils. THE GIRLS OF SLENDER MEANS is a beautifully drawn portrait of young women living in a hostel in London in the giddy postwar days of 1945. THE DRIVER''S SEAT follows the final haunted hours of a woman descending into madness. And THE ONLY PROBLEM is a witty fable about suffering that brings the Book of Job to bear on contemporary terrorism.Characters are vividly etched in a few words; earth-shaking events are lightly touched on. Yet underneath the glittering surface there is an obsessive probing of metaphysical questions: the meaning of good and evil, the need for salvation, the search for significance.

A pokud je Nick nevinný, kam se poděla Amy? Kriminální psychologický román americké spisovatelky Gillian Flynnové z roku 2012 se stal doslova literární senzací – 37 týdnů vévodil žebříčku bestsellerů New York Times a řada periodik ho jmenovala nejlepším thrillerem roku; vyšel ve 46 zemích a dosud se ho prodalo více než 16 milionů výtisků. O dva roky později natočil oscarový režisér David Fincher (Klub rváčů, Sedm, Muži, kteří nenávidí ženy) filmovou adaptaci, Rosamund Pike byla za roli Amy nominována na Oscara.

Zapomenuté missourijské maloměsto Wind Gap se ještě nevzpamatovalo z jedné brutální vraždy, a už je tu další, stejně strašná a nepochopitelná. Proč nevinné dívky? A proč jim vrah vytrhal skoro všechny zuby? Pro mladou chicagskou reportérku Camille Preakerovou, která ve Wind Gap vyrůstala, je takový případ vítaným sólokaprem. Jenže to, co se zprvu zdálo jako kariérní příležitost, získá nakonec mnohem osudovější a tragičtější podobu. Ukáže se, že posedlost jde v tomto příběhu až na krev. A to do slova a do písmene.

In this short, unforgettable memoir, Rose looks back on her childhood, from the young dyslexic girl, torn between father and stepfather, to the adolescent confronting her Jewish inheritance. As an adult, Gillian Rose proves herself a passionate friend, a searcher for truth, a woman in love and, finally, an exacting but generous patient. Intertwining the personal and the philosophical, Rose meditates on faith, conflict and injustice; the fallibility and endurance of love; our yearning for independence and for connection to others.With droll self-knowledge ('I am highly qualified in unhappy love affairs,' Rose writes) and with unsettling wisdom ('To live, to love, is to be failed'), Love's Work asks the unanswerable question: how is a life best lived?

What do you want when no one is watching?Who do you fantasise about when the lights are off?When you think about sex, what do you really want? When we talk about sex, we talk about womanhood and motherhood, infidelity and exploitation, consent and respect, fairness and egalitarianism, love and hate, pleasure and pain. And yet so many of us don’t talk about it at all. In this ground-breaking book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous sexual fantasies of hundreds of women from around the world (along with her own anonymous fantasy).The fantasies are extraordinary: they are full of desire, fear, intimacy, shame, satisfaction and, ultimately, liberation. From fantasising about someone off-limits to conjuring a scene with multiple partners, from sex that is gentle and tender to passionate and playful, from women who have never had sex to women who have had more sex than they can remember, these letters provide a window into the most secret part of our minds. Want reveals how women feel about sex when they have the freedom to be totally themselves.
