Román Daleko od hlučícího davu patří k nejzářivějším pokladům anglické literatury. Už jeho první vydání v roce 1874 se stalo literární senzací, kniha se vyprodala během pouhých dvou měsíců a Thomasi Hardymu vynesla reputaci předního spisovatele viktoriánské doby. Čím kniha tolik zaujala ve své době a čím dodnes oslovuje další generace čtenářů? Hardyho román v sobě úchvatně kombinuje romantickou love story s upřímným, otevřeným vylíčením anglického venkova; nejedná se však o nějakou pastorální idylu, jakkoli je kniha prodchnutá nostalgií. Právě naopak, v mnoha ohledech jde o zcela moderní příběh s ryze moderní hrdinkou - mladá, nezávislá statkářka Batsheba se už dávno zařadila do kánonu velkých postav světové literatury, podobně jako její tři velice rozdílní nápadníci, oddaný pastýř Gabriel, postarší statkář Boldwood a světácký seržant Troy. Spletitý děj plný zvratů, nádherné popisy jihoanglické krajiny i života na venkově, zajímavě vykreslené postavy a dokonalá práce se čtenářovým očekáváním - to vše dělá z románu Daleko od hlučícího davu vpravdě mistrovské dílo, které nepochybně stojí za přečtení i dnes.

Why, Ashley Da-Lê Duong wondered, did her father Anh name her after his childhood village in Vietnam (Da-Lê, pronounced Ya-lay) when in all other ways, he kept as much distance from it as possible? It wasn’t until college, when she began participating in student protests, that Anh began to fill in the gaps of his life story, revealing for the first time his own experiences protesting in Iran and the details of his childhood in Da-Lê. Those letters became this memoir.

Like many in the Vietnamese diaspora, he had long remained silent about his experiences, believing that trauma was better left unspoken.

In Iceland, the age of the Vikings is also known as the Saga Age. A unique body of medieval literature, the Sagas rank with the world’s great literary treasures – as epic as Homer, as deep in tragedy as Sophocles, as engagingly human as Shakespeare. Set around the turn of the last millennium, these stories depict with an astonishingly modern realism the lives and deeds of the Norse men and women who first settled in Iceland and of their descendants, who ventured farther west to Greenland and, ultimately, North America. Sailing as far from the archetypal heroic adventure as the long ships did from home, the Sagas are written with psychological intensity, peopled by characters with depth, and explore perennial human issues like love, hate, fate and freedom.

Israel’s pulverization of Gaza since October 7, 2023 is not only a humanitarian crisis, but an environmental catastrophe. Far from the first event of its kind, the devastation Israel has inflicted on Palestine since October 2023 has merely ushered in a new phase in a long history of colonization and extraction that reaches back to the nineteenth century. In this book, Andreas Malm argues that a true understanding of the present crisis requires a longue durée analysis of Palestine's subjugation to fossil empire. Returning to the British empire’s first use of steam-power in war, in which it destroyed the Palestinian city of Akka, Malm traces the development of Britain’s fossil empire and shows how this enduring commitment to fossil energy continues to drive Western support for the destruction of Palestine today.

* ''Great art has dreadful manners...'' Simon Schama observes at the start of his epic exploration of the power, and whole point, of art. ''The hushed reverence of the gallery can fool you into believing masterpieces are polite things, visions that soothe, charm and beguile, but actually they are thugs. Merciless and wily, the greatest paintings grab you in a headlock, rough up your composure and then proceed in short order to re-arrange your sense of reality...'' * With the same disarming force, Power of Art jolts us far from the comfort zone of the hushed art gallery, as Schama closes in on intense make-or-break turning points in the lives of eight great artists who, under extreme stress, created something unprecedented, altering the course of art for ever. * The embattled heroes - Caravaggio, Bernini, Rembrandt, David, Turner, Van Gogh, Picasso and Rothko - faced crisis with steadfast defiance. The masterpieces they created challenged convention, shattered complacency, shifted awareness and changed the way we look at the world. With powerfully vivid story-telling, Schama explores the dynamic personalities of the artists and the spirit of the times they lived through, capturing the flamboyant theatre of bourgeois life in Amsterdam, the passion ...
