By Night in Chile - Roberto Bolaňo
Father Sebastian Urrutia Lacroix is dying.A priest, a member of Opus Dei, a literary critic and a poet, in his feverish delirium the crucial events of his past swell around him.From glimpses of the great poet Pablo Neruda, the German writer Ernst Junger and his one-time student, General Pinochet, to nightmarish flashes of falcons and falconers, the Chilean landscape and faces of those now dead, reality and imagination crowd and clamber in pursuit of the ‘wizened youth’ who still haunts Father Lacroix all these years later.TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS‘The wit, the horror, the ambition, the strangeness; Roberto Bolaño’s work is a sprawling labyrinth of surprise, bold invention, and images that will live with you forever’ Chris Power‘Few are the writers who have mastered the alchemy of turning the trivial into the sublime, the everyday into adventure. Bolaño is among the best at this diabolical skill’ Georgi Gospodinov, author of Time Shelter

Nacistická literatura v Americe - Roberto Bolaňo
Touto knihou, jež vyšla roku 1996, na sebe dnes slavný Roberto Bolaño poprvé upoutal pozornost. Formálně je to slovník spisovatelů, ale žádná slavná jména skutečných latinskoamerických autorů, kteří si tak či onak zadali s fašistickou ideologií, tam nenajdeme. Není to ani sbírka esejů, ale ani román či povídky, nýbrž zvláštní hybridní žánr: soubor typicky bolaňovských, záměrně znejistělých vyprávění, kde banální a všední historky nabývají děsivých a groteskních rozměrů. Bolano tu má blízko k Borgesovi, jenž také věrohodně vyprávěl o ne-existujících spisovatelích, textech a historických osobnostech a s radostí ze hry vymýšlel příručky typu Fantastické zoologie. Bolaño si navíc hraje se jmény, která se někdy dají v textu dešifrovat, sarkasticky se šklebí a popichuje,ale hlavně propadá - a s ním i čtenáři - kouzlu slova a chrlí fascinující litanie a obrazy.

The Collected Short Stories of Roberto Bolano - Roberto Bolaňo
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY CHRIS POWER‘A master of the short form’ IndependentWide-ranging, suggestive, and ever-daring, Roberto Bolaño's short stories map out the dark terrain that he would go on to explore in his novellas and epic novels. From melancholic portraits of exile and its folklore to a rogue’s gallery of desperate characters futilely attempting to unearth the animating secrets of the world, each of Bolaño’s short fictions adds yet another door, a window, a secret passage onto the sinister, eerie universe that Bolaño brought to life across his body of work. Bringing together Last Evenings on Earth, The Return and The Insufferable Gaucho, as well as Bolaño’s posthumously published stories, this new book marks the first time these fictions have been collected in one edition, allowing for a major reappraisal of the vital place that the short story commands for Bolaño’s literary legacy. ‘Bolaño was a flat-out genius, one of the greatest writers of our time’ Paul Auster‘Bolaño was a game changer: his field was politics, poetry and melancholia . . . and his writing was always unparalleled’ Mariana EnrÃquez

Divocí detektivové - Roberto Bolaňo
Chilan Roberto Bolañ (1953-2003), básník a prozaik, je v současnosti zřejmě nejvýraznější postavou latinskoamerické literatury. V této knize vypráví příběh dvou "divokých detektivů", básníků-desperátů Artura Belana a Odyssea Limy a jejich přátel, umělců a stoupenců "žaludečního realismu neboli žaludného či záludného realismu, někdy též bludrealismu", kteří se vydávají po stopách tajemné básnířky Cesáreji Tinajerové. Hledání - iniciační cesta, bildungsroman, citová výchova - trvá dvacet let, od roku 1976 do roku 1996, a prostřednictvím množství postav se rozvětvuje do změti podivných, někdy neukončených příběhů, tvořících "totální" román, kde se dá najít úplně všechno: lásky, smrti a vraždy, blázince a univerzity, zmizení a objevování, literatura i život. Dějištěm je Mexiko (kde Bolaño vyrůstal), Nikaragua, USA, Francie, Španělsko, Rakousko, Izrael, Afrika.

Třetí říše - Roberto Bolaňo
Posmrtně vydaný román Třetí říše (vydáno 2010) napsal chilský autor Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) už roku 1989, v prvním období své spisovatelské dráhy, s jeho vydáním však váhal, neboť vypravěčská struktura této knihy se poněkud vymykala celkovému rámci jeho tvorby. Téměř celý děj se odehrává v hotýlku u moře na katalánském pobřeží, kam přijel se svou dívkou strávit prázdniny pětadvacetiletý Němec Udo Berger, vášnivý hráč a tvůrce válečných deskových her. Udo se raději než plážovým radovánkám věnuje zdokonalování taktiky a vymýšlení nových variant hry nazvané Třetí říše; večer na diskotékách se pak chtě nechtě seznamuje s nejrůznějšími podivnými existencemi. Jeho nejen prázdninový život zásadně ovlivní Němec Charly, nadšený surfař, opilec a hrubián, místní povaleči Vlk a Beránek a hlavně tajemný pronajímatel šlapadel zvaný Škvarek. Při hraní Třetí říše ztrácí Udo pojem o hranicích mezi realitou a fikcí a právě tak i čtenář se nejistě, s obavami pohybuje po měkké, bažinaté půdě Bolanovy nezkrotné imaginace a sarkastických úšklebků. Vypravěčsky strhující kniha znovu a jinak předkládá Bolañova věčná témata - podoby zla, nacismu, zneužívání moci a to, jak se kultura (smyšlenka, hra, literatura) stává jedinou pravou skutečností.Vydání knihy podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury České republiky.

Amulet - Roberto Bolaňo
Auxilio Lacouture is trapped.For twelve days she hides alone in a lavatory on the fourth floor of her university. Staring at the floor, she begins a heartfelt and feverish tale: she is the Mother of Mexican poetry.A highly charged first-person semi-hallucinatory novella, Amulet is a potent stream of consciousness through which the poets of Mexico rage and swirl. Filled with wild, dark literary prophecies, heroic poets, mad poets, artists ‘choked by the brilliance of youth’, Auxilio’s passionate narration – both heartbreaking and lyrical – is suffused with the essence of Roberto Bolaño’s art.TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS''Encapsulates the violence and tragedy of recent Latin American history'' The Times‘Roberto Bolaño redefined the form of the novel in his masterpiece 2666; with the hallucinatory narrative of Amulet, he reimagines what literature can become’ New Statesman

Amulet - Roberto Bolaňo
Román Amulet navazuje na Divoké detektivy, podobně jako Vzdálená hvězda navazovala na Nacistickou literaturu v Americe. Vypravěčkou je Auxilio Lacouture, uruguayská básnířka a "matka všech mexických básníků", která se v září roku 1968 při policejním zásahu na mexické univerzitě schovala na záchodě, kde přečkala několik dnů. Čas strávený na záchodě filozofické fakulty se stane tunelem času, který ji přenáší do minulých let v Mexiku i do těch, která má ještě před sebou. Ve strhujícím toku vyprávění, které sám Bolaño přirovnává k partituře pro jediný nástroj, kdežto Divocí detektivové a 2666 jsou skladba pro orchestr, se objevují slavní skuteční i smyšlení básníci, malíři a další umělci včetně Artura Belana, a vypráví se také o cestování, o severním pólu a zapomenutých vraždách. Amulet je Bolañvým šestým románem, vydaným poprvé roku 1999 v nakladatelství Anagrama.

New Year’s Eve, 1975. Two hunted men leave Mexico City in a borrowed white Impala.Their quest: to track down the mythical, vanished poet Cesárea Tinajero.

Told, shared and mythologised by a generation of lovers, rebels and readers, their testimonies are woven together into one of the most dazzling Latin American novels of all time.TRANSLATED BY NATASHA WIMMER‘Roberto Bolaño was a game changer: his field was politics, poetry and melancholia.

Antwerp - Roberto Bolaňo
Amidst the seedy hotels and deserted campsites of the Costa Brava, someone has gone missing.A detective sets out to find them. They search among the hapless girls, failed poets, and shifty policemen that populate this dream world – but every door opens onto a nightmare.An experimental novella, spliced together in vignettes, Antwerp is Roberto Bolaño’s first work of fiction. A personal declaration of the power of literature, to read it is to be present at ‘the big bang’ of Bolaño’s enterprise into prose, to see the beginning, to witness the moment when his talent explodes.TRANSLATED BY NATASHA WIMMER''A fascinating, even compulsory addition to the Bolaño fan’s bookshelf'' Daily Telegraph‘Bolaño set a new speed limit for literature. He simply wrote past other authors... His books are volcanic, perilous, charged with infectious erotic energy and demonic lucidity’ BenjamÃn Labatut, author of The Maniac

Last Night in San Francisco - Scott Alan Lucas
Bad Blood meets Burn Book in this expose about tech icon Bob Lee - and what his life and 2023 murder tell us about San Francisco in the Internet Age. For fans of Going Infinite and Super Pumped: Sex and drugs, parties and violence, genius coders and VC tycoons - welcome to the rip-roaring world of the American tech industry. The full story of an industry, a city, and two men - one who got everything he ever wanted, one who never got what he thought he deserved - and what happened the night it all came apart. Like his many peers in the tech industry who had poured into San Francisco over the last two decades, Bob Lee was remaking the world, building the most familiar parts of our digital lives, a lead innovator at one start-up after another, such as Google, Android, Square, and CashApp. When Lee was found stabbed to death one night on the streets of San Francisco, the city''s many critics knew exactly what it meant. Just like they had been saying, the city was violent, dangerous, and out-of-control. San Francisco was so bent on creating a liberal utopia that it was failing at its most basic tasks - to keep its citizens safe. It''s a familiar story - familiar and wrong. Bob Lee was a man without limits, and he had a recklessness that led to his triumphs as well as his downfall.

La Folie Baudelaire - Roberto Calasso
Roberto Calasso is one of the most original and acclaimed of writers on literature, art, culture and mythology. In Baudelaire''s Folly, Calasso turns his attention to the poets and writers of Paris in the nineteenth century who created what was later called ''the Modern.'' His protagonist is Charles Baudelaire: poet of nerves, art lover, pioneering critic, man about Paris, whose groundbreaking works on modern culture described the ephemeral, fleeting nature of life in the metropolis - and the artist''s role in capturing this - as no other writer had done. With Baudelaire''s critical intelligence as his inspiration, Calasso ranges through his life and work, focusing on two painters - Ingres and Delacroix - about whom Baudelaire wrote acutely, and then turns to Degas and Manet, who followed in the tracks Baudelaire laid down in his great essay The Painter of Modern Life. In a mosaic of stories, insights, dreams, close readings of poems and commentaries on paintings, Paris in Baudelaire''s years comes to life. In the eighteenth century, a ''folie'' was a garden pavilion set aside for people of leisure, a place of delight and fantasy. Here Calasso has created a brilliant and dramatic ''Folie Baudelaire'': a place where the reader can encounter Baudelaire, his peers, his city, his extraordinary likes and dislikes, and his world, finally discovering that it is nothing less than the land of ''absolute literature''.Born in Florence, Roberto Calasso lives in Milan, where he is publisher of Adelphi. He is the author of Tiepolo Pink, The Ruin of Kasch, The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, winner of the Prix Veillon and the Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger, Literature and the Gods, Ka and K.

One Night in Winter - Simon Sebag Montefiore
Inspired by a true story, prize-winning historian and acclaimed novelist Simon Sebag Montefiore explores the consequences of forbidden love in this heartbreaking epic of marriage, childhood, danger, and betrayal that unfolds in Stalin's Moscow during the bleak days after World War II.As Moscow celebrates the motherland's glorious victory over the Nazis, shots ring out on the crowded streets. On a nearby bridge, a teenage boy and girl—dressed in traditional nineteenth-century costumes—lie dead. But this is no ordinary tragedy, because these are no ordinary teenagers. As the son and daughter of high-ranking Soviet officials, they attend the most elite school in Moscow. Was it an accident, or murder? Is it a conspiracy against Stalin, or one of his own terrifying intrigues?On Stalin's instructions, a ruthless investigation begins into what becomes known as the Children's Case. Youth across the city are arrested and forced to testify against their friends and their parents. As families are ripped apart, all kinds of secrets come spilling out. Trapped at the center of this witch-hunt are two pairs of illicit lovers, who learn that matters of the heart exact a terrible price. By turns a darkly sophisticated political thriller, a rich historical saga, and a deeply human love story, Montefiore's masterful novel powerfully portrays the terror and drama of Stalin's Russia.
