Román Kleopatra a Frankenstein, knižní debut britské autorky Coco Mellorsové žijící v USA, hned po vydání v r. 2022 vzbudil pozornost na obou stranách Atlantiku. Jeho hlavní postavy, mladá britská malířka Cleo a Američan Frank, šéf reklamní agentury, který už dosáhl středního věku, se na prvních stránkách setkávají na Silvestra v New Yorku a zdá se, že mezi nimi okamžitě přeskočila jiskra jako z romantické komedie. Hned v následující kapitole, odehrávající se o půl roku později, se dokonce ocitáme na jejich svatbě. Sama autorka však v rozhovorech přiznává, že začátkem knihy čtenáře úmyslně klame - o oddechovou romantiku zde rozhodně nejde.

Postavy románu, který se opírá především o svižné dialogy a nepostrádá humor, pocházejí z nejrůznějších prostředí a zázemí.

Audiokniha: Není všechno zlato, co se třpytí. A ve vztahu to platí dvojnásob. Cleo a Frank. Ona je Britka, on Američan. Zatímco ona stojí teprve na počátku malířské dráhy, on coby muž v nejlepších letech velí úspěšné reklamní agentuře. Když se o jednom silvestru jejich cesty protnou, z jiskřivého flirtování se zakrátko zrodí manželství. Jenže to má k ideálu daleko. Pod pozlátkem luxusu a bezstarostného veselí bobtnají problémy a závislosti, které postupně drtí jak oba partnery, tak jejich nejbližší okolí. Nenaplněné tělesné touhy, závislost na alkoholu, hloubka osamění, míra sobectví i slabé sebevědomí vytvářejí zlovolnou smyčku, jež se kolem hrdinů utahuje stále víc a víc. Dokáže pár tyto těžkosti překonat, aniž by přišel jeden o druhého? Románová prvotina talentované autorky zobrazuje složitost dnešních vztahů. Próza brilantně kombinuje břitké dialogy i romanticky hravé scény s mrazivými dopady frustrací, na něž by každý nejradši zapomněl. Společnost Warner Bros. natáčí podle knihy nový televizní seriál. „Autorka má zjevný talent psát výstižně a přitom nám zprostředkovat úchvatně plynoucí dialogy.“ – The Standard. „Její náhled na New York tvoří jiskrné pozadí pro bolest, rozčarování i růst postav. Pokud vám v knihách Sally Rooneyové cosi schází, tuhle knihu nadšeně zhltnete.“ – The Financial Times. „Mellorsová rozebírá bouřlivý vztah mezi dvěma živelnými, ale vnitřně pošramocenými lidmi. Z myšlenkově objevného podloží díla tryská řada pozoruhodných motivů.“ – Publishers Weekly. „Pohlcující čtení. Snadno si je zamilují jak fanoušci Sally Rooneyové, tak příznivci Lauren Groffové.“ – Booklist. „Debut Coco Mellorsové přináší provokativně emotivní a poutavou výpověď o zkáze romantického vztahu. Když někdy necháme partnera odejít, je to větší důkaz lásky než trpět v okovech dvojí samoty.“ – Washington Square News.

However, Cleopatra knew Octavian was really after the mysterious item that was the source of all her wealth and influence, so she hid it before dying by suicide. She left a series of devious clues behind for her children to find it, but they were lost to history…until now. In a breathless adventure that takes her across the globe, Charlie must fight for her life against ruthless enemies, match wits with Cleopatra, and solve the two-thousand-year-old mystery to prevent the most powerful treasure of the ancient world from falling into the wrong hands.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.Hugely ambitious in its historical focus and vast geographical scope, Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeareâ ™s most astonishing tragedies. The drama centres on the relationships between his main protagonists, Octavius Ceasar, Mark Antony and Cleopatra, and the highly charged affair between Mark Antony and the Egyptian queen that forms the backdrop to the pervading theme of struggle between East and West throughout the play.The internal battle of personal emotion and duty that Antony experiences, and the dynamics of power and sexuality portrayed by Cleopatra, give the play its dramatic tension. Rich and complex in its language and poetic in tone, Shakespeare shows how the politics of Rome ultimately cause disaster for a man who is torn between reason and passion.

Audiokniha: Každá se v životě potýká s vlastními problémy. Spojuje je však jedna ztráta. I když jsou sestry, na základě jejich vzezření a chování by to sotvakoho napadlo. Avery si po boji se závislostí srovnala priority a se svou manželkou si užívá úspěšnou právnickou kariéru v Londýně. Zakřiknutá citlivka Bonnie si vybíjí vztek v boxerském ringu, kde v minulosti slavila nejeden úspěch. Nyní pracuje jako ostraha v baru a snaží se nemyslet na to, jak moc ji přitahuje její trenér. A marnotratná modelka Lucky tráví čas s přáteli na extravagantních pařížských večírcích a úplně jí uniklo, jak snadno se její život vymyká kontrole. Kdysi bývaly čtyři. Je tomu přesně rok, co veselá, sentimentální a zároveň potichu trpící Nicky zemřela. Zbylé tři sestry se scházejí v rodném New Yorku, aby zabránily prodeji bytu, v němž vyrostly. Staré rány ale vyplouvají na povrch a ukazuje se, že ačkoli Nicky už nežije, její stín se promítá do života každé z nich… Novinka od autorky bestselleru Kleopatra a Frankenstein.

Vychází v koedici s Nakladatelstvím Slovart. „Mellors[ová] dokáže výstižně zachytit divokost, ulepenost i krásu sesterství. A zároveň žal následující po rodinné tragédii.“ – The New York Times „Propracovaná a hladce plynoucí próza udrží čtenářův zájem prostřednictvím pečlivě upředených zápletek. Autorčin dar zachytit sesterské dialogy je záviděníhodný: úchvatně vyvažuje kousavé hádky a láskyplné výměny názorů, s nimiž se ztotožní každý, kdo má sourozence.“ – Michigan Daily „Tohle čtení je těžce návykové – tedy pocit, který je sestrám Blueovým až moc blízký. I když může být vyprávění místy plné otřepaných frází o rodině, v jedné věci má pravdu: je neskutečně těžké s něčím skončit, když je drama tak napínavé a hraje se o mnohé.“ – i Paper „Hluboce citlivá kniha s jedinečnými postavami, které nelze nemilovat, zkoumá závislosti, dynamiku i nespravedlnosti v životech žen, jež jsou si tolik blízké – a především jejich složité způsoby truchlení. Autorka vybudovala celý svět z problémů jedné rodiny, a ukazuje tak bohatou a univerzální paletu sesterství.“ – Washington Square News

This gift-ready coffee table book is a close-up look at 50 artists—their work, their studios, their style—creating a wide variety of art in the Hamptons. It’s one thing to admire an artist’s work; it’s another to get a real feel of the person behind the work. In these pages you’ll get a close-up look at 50 painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers, and mixed-media artists who are living and working on the famed East End of Long Island, New York. Photographer Jaime Lopez has captured each artist both in revealing portraits and at work in their studios, and journalist and curator Coco Myers has contributed insightful interviews. Among the well-known artists are Donald Sultan, April Gornick, Mary Heilmann, Caio Fonseca, Bryan Hunt, Joe Zucker, Frank Wimberley, and Paton Miller. The East End has long been a magnet for artists who are drawn to the inspiring nature of the landscape—the light, the fields, the farms, and of course, the expansive sea. And while the legacy of artists like Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, and others remains strong, the area continues to be rich in talent today. Lopez’s photographs and Myers’s text reveal the creativity, intelligence, and humor of these 50 artists as well as the vibe of their workplaces and the tools of their craft.

This book is the third in a series exploring the potential of non-humans to illustrate and inspire an approach in which the pre-established boundaries of scholarly thought and practice blur so that new directions in theory and research can emerge. Humans and non-humans are co-present in the world. For long, they have seemed and been thought of as an ontological binary opposition with humans elevated above the rest. As this book series testifies, recently, there has been a move in social sciences towards non-humans as they provide new prisms to look at issues that have for long been of interest to social sciences.This growing interest in non-humans shatters the ontological assumptions about the difference between humans and the rest of life forms as well as reappraises the relationship between humans (and non-humans) and inanimate objects. What the individual chapters in this book as well as the volume as such elaborate on is the fact that humans and various non-humans are not as separate as they have been believed to be; they sometimes encounter and even co-create each other to the extent where the delimitations start to disappear. Non-humans differ from humans in many respects. However, at certain moments, the difference does not necessarily have to be what governs the relationship between them. To understand what happens when humans and non-humans encounter each other needs a more nuanced perspective. This is what the individual chapters in this book hope to achieve. What the book calls for and the chapters exemplify is a need of a close reading of how the co-presence of diverse entities, humans as well as various non-humans, influences their presence and the boundaries between them at given moments of sharing, forming and inhabiting the world.

The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage presents a delightful alternate reality in which Lovelace and Babbage do build the Difference Engine and use it to create runaway economic models, battle the scourge of spelling errors, explore the wider realms of mathematics and, of course, fight crime - for the sake of both London and science.

The woman scientist who saved Americans from thalidomideIn the early 1960s, Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration became one of the most celebrated women in America when she prevented a deadly sedative from entering the U.S. market. A Canadian-born pharmacologist and physician, Kelsey saved countless Americans from the devastating side effects of thalidomide, a drug routinely given to pregnant women to prevent morning sickness.As the FDA medical officer charged with reviewing Merrell Pharmaceutical s application for approval in 1960-61, Kelsey was unconvinced that there was sufficient evidence of the drug s efficacy and safety. Despite substantial pressure, she held her ground for nineteen months while the extent of the drug s worldwide damage became known-thousands of stillborn babies, as well as at least 10,000 children across 46 countries born with severe deformities such as missing limbs, arms and legs that resembled flippers, and improperly developed eyes, ears, and other organs. As a result of Kelsey s efforts, thalidomide was never sold in the United States. The incident led Congress to pass the 1962 Drug Amendment, which fundamentally changed drug regulation in America. Those regulations, still in force today, required pharmaceutical companies to conduct phased clinical trials, obtain informed consent from participants in drug testing, and warn the FDA of adverse effects, and it granted the FDA important controls over prescription-drug advertising.One of a small minority of women to earn an advanced degree in science in the 1930s, Kelsey faced challenges that resonate with women scientists to this day. Revered by the public as a ⠜good mother of science,⠝ she went on to act as a formidable gatekeeper against other suspect drugs, such as diesthylstilbestrol (DES) and laetrile. As part of the team that tested anti-malarial drugs on prisoner volunteers during World War II, she later was instrumental in the formulation of ethical protocols for drug testing on prisoners and the vulnerable, including the elderly and children. Yet behind the public adulation, she faced professional jealousies and glass ceilings, political interference with FDA s actions, and ongoing hostility from pharmaceutical industry officials. She was sustained and supported by family and friends, co-workers and mentors, and a lifetime commitment to good science.Based upon FDA archival records, private family papers, and interviews with family and colleagues, this biography brings to light the efforts and legacy of a pioneering woman of science whose contributions are still influential today.

For the first time, director Rob Reiner and co-creators Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer provide the full behind-the-scenes story of the making of the groundbreaking mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap and its upcoming sequel. Since its original release in 1984, This Is Spinal Tap has evolved from a beloved cult film into a cinematic landmark: an all-time comedy classic that pioneered an entire genre: the mockumentary. Now, director Rob Reiner and his co-writers and co-stars, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer, tell the complete story of the movie and its fictitious band – how they met, how Spinal Tap came to be, and how their low-budget indie film took on a life of its own. Years after the movie first came out, the Library of Congress selected This Is Spinal Tap for inclusion in the National Film Registry and Tap went on to play the Royal Albert Hall, Wembley Stadium, and to over 100,000 fans at Glastonbury. Reiner, Guest, McKean and Shearer provide the backstories to the movie’s famous lines – among them #39;Hello, Cleveland!, #39; #39;None more black, #39; #39;You can’t dust for vomit #39; and #39;These go to eleven #39; – and to such Tap anthems as #39;Big Bottom #39; and #39;Stonehenge #39;. Featuring never-before-seen photographs, band memorabilia and personal reminiscences of their enduring creative partnership, A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever will delight Tap-heads of all ages – just as the long-awaited Spinal Tap sequel is hitting theatres. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever also comes with a bonus memoir by Reiner’s directorial alter ego, Marty DiBergi, in which he interviews Tap band members Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins and Derek Smalls about their musical journey and their drummers who paid the ultimate sacrifice to the rock gods.

Changing the past has created an all-new present, one in which he and his friends never vanquished the Plague. Now the giant bugs rule Earth from their spaceship! What’s an intergalactic traveler to do? The answer is obvious. Finn, Lincoln and Julep must defeat the Plague. Again.  But how? Julep and Lincoln don’t remember Finn or their friendships. In fact, they’ve changed just as much as the world itself has, and they want nothing to do with his dangerous plan to save humankind. Finn’s plan? Find his father, Asher Foley, who is trapped on a microscopic world known as the Subatomic. Using a space-age slip-and-slide, Finn and his confused former-friends shrink themselves to enter this strange new world where nothing is as it seems, hoping to find his father, the one man who can put history, and the present, back together.  It won’t be easy. The Subatomic is ruled by an evil menace with an army of hulking robots under his command. Even worse, Finn’s bitterest enemy, the Plague soldier Sin Kraven, is in pursuit. Can Finn find his father, save his friendships, and return to Earth in time to stop the Plague?  Rousingly raucous. --Kirkus Reviews

Jane Austen s brilliant, hilarious - and often outrageous - early stories, sketches and pieces of nonsense. Jane Austen s earliest writing dates from when she was just eleven years, and already shows the hallmarks of her mature work: wit, acute insight into human folly, and a preoccupation with manners, morals and money. But it is also a product of the eighteenth century in which she grew up - dark, grotesque, often surprisingly bawdy, and a far cry from the polished, sparkling novels of manners for which she became famous.Drunken heroines, babies who bite off their mother s fingers, and a letter-writer who has murdered her whole family all feature in these very funny pieces. This edition includes all of Austen s juvenilia, including her History of England - written by a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant Historian - and the novella Lady Susan , in which the anti-heroine schemes and cheats her way through high society. Taken together, they offer a fascinating - and often surprising - insight into the early Austen.This major new edition is the first time Austen s juvenilia has appeared in Penguin Classics. Edited by Professor Christine Alexander, it includes an introduction, notes and other useful editorial materials. Jane Austen, born in 1775, wrote many burlesques, parodies and other stories in her youth, including a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan.The novels published in her lifetime include Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16, and was published, together with Northanger Abbey,posthumously in 1818. Austen died in Winchester on 18 July 1817.Christine Alexander is Scientia Professor of English at the University of New South Wales and general editor of the Juvenilia Press. She has published extensively on the Brontes and has co-edited the first book on literary juvenilia, The Child Writer from Austen to Woolf (2005). Spirited, easy, full of fun, verging with freedom upon sheer nonsense ...At fifteen she had few illusions about other people and none about herself - Virginia Woolf [Her] inspiration was the inspiration of Gargantua and of Pickwick; it was the gigantic inspiration of laughter - G.

Spanning six decades of work – from her earliest beginnings to brand new poems – this volume charts the evolution of one of our most iconic and necessary authors.

Terrific! With a dynamically deft touch, Philip Gefter chronicles how a uniquely volatile mix of timing, talent, pressure, and passion turned a landscape-altering play into a cinematic detonation. Savor this juicy bit of time travel, because we ll never see the likes of these people and these circumstances again Steven SoderberghFrom its debut in 1962, Edward Albee s Who s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was a wild success and a cultural lightning rod. The play transpires over one long, boozy night, laying bare the lies, compromises, and scalding love that have sustained a middle-aged couple through decades of marriage.It scandalised critics but magnetised audiences. Then, Hollywood took a colossal gamble on Albee s sophisticated play and won. Co-starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the sensational 1966 film won five Oscars.How this scorching play became a movie classic-surviving censorship attempts, its creators inexperience, and its stars own tumultuous marriage, is one of the most riveting stories in all of cinema. Acclaimed author Philip Gefter traces Woolf from its hushed origins in Greenwich Village, through its tormented production process, to its explosion onto screens and permanent place in the canon of cinematic marriages. He explores how two couples - one fictional, one all too real - brought to light our most deeply held myths about relationships, sex, family, and, against all odds, love.
