Dearly - Margaret Atwoodová

''A source of uncompromising elemental warmth'' Ali SmithBy turns moving, playful and wise, the poems gathered in Dearly are about absences and endings, ageing and retrospection, but also about gifts and renewals. They explore bodies and minds in flux, as well as the everyday objects and rituals that embed us in the present. Werewolves, sirens and dreams make their appearance, as do various forms of animal life and fragments of our damaged environment.Dearly is a pure Atwood delight, and long-term readers and new fans alike will treasure its insight, empathy and humour.BOOK OF THE YEAR OBSERVER, FINANCIAL TIMES

Rok potopy - Margaret Atwoodová

Margaret Atwoodová, jedna z nejvýznačnějších postav současné světové literatury, se v románu Rok potopy vrací k postapokalyptické vizi světa po globální katastrofě. Stejně jako v úvodní části trilogie Gazela a Chřástal popisuje Atwoodová hrůzy světa, ve kterém lidstvo v zájmu vědeckého a technologického pokroku nejen mění životní prostředí, ale ničí samo sebe. Tentokrát ovšem situaci, neodvratně směřující k tragédii, nahlížíme z perspektivy dvou žen, které "suchá potopa" souhrou náhod ušetří. Ren je mladá akrobatka na hrazdě, kterou zachránila izolace v luxusním sexklubu, Toby přežila zabarikádovaná v lázních určených původně bohaté klientele. Oběma ale po čase nezbývá než vyjít do světa, v němž nemohou věřit lidem ani zvířatům, a pokusit se znovu probudit v sobě i v ostatních přátelství a lidskost.

Příběh služebnice - Margaret Atwoodová - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Dystopická vize ukazuje blízkou budoucnost na půdě dnešních Spojených států amerických, které se proměnily v republiku Gileád a vlády se chopil klerofašistický režim, jenž militantně volá po návratu k tradičním hodnotám. Země se potýká s ekologickými katastrofami a ztrátou lidské plodnosti, takže ženy, které ještě mohou mít děti, jsou jako „služebnice“ nuceny k sexuálnímu otroctví v rodinách velitelů, aby s nimi zplodily potomky místo neplodných chotí. Jednou z nich je i vypravěčka, která musí obezřetně manévrovat mezi Veliteli, jejich krutými Manželkami, hospodyněmi Martami i ostatními Služebnicemi – protože kdokoli z nich může být špionem Gileádu. Podle románu vznikl v roce 2017 úspěšný a oceňovaný televizní seriál s Elisabeth Moss, Josephem Fiennesem či Alexis Bledel v hlavních rolích. Připravuje se i jeho druhá řada, která už bude příběhem pouze inspirována. V roce 1990 byl natočen také stejnojmenný celovečerní film v režii Volkera Schlöndorffa (Plechový bubínek), v němž si zahrály např. Natasha Richardson či Faye Dunaway a scénář k němu napsal známý anglický dramatik Harold Pinter. Nahrávka obsahuje bonusovou kapitolu, napsanou autorkou POUZE pro audio verzi (v knize ji tedy nenajdete).

A jestli umřeli, žijí tam spolu dodnes - Margaret Atwoodová

Nejnovější povídkovou tvorbu oceňované kanadské autorky rámují reflexe šťastného soužití a proměny času po ztrátě nejbližší bytosti. Nejen věnování zesnulému Graemu Gibsonovi, s nímž spisovatelka sdílela téměř padesát let, zájmy i příznačný smysl pro humor, ale především láskyplnost a bolest napovídají, že jde o text silně, byť nepřiznaně autobiografický. Margaret Atwoodová dnešních dní alias Nell vzpomíná na ztřeštěnosti podzimu života, toulky milovanou přírodou či na snahu zvěčnit kocoura v přebásnění Tennysona. Probírá se tchánovou pozůstalostí a vlivem války na lidskou psychiku. Zakopává o věci, které nám zůstávají po tom, kdo vlastně nikdy tak docela neodešel. A dál píše. O matce, jež neodpovídá společenským představám, o mimozemském stvoření, které za pandemie baví lidstvo v karanténě absurditou našich dávných příběhů, o převtělení šneka do bankovní operátorky. Rozmlouvá s Orwellem nebo glosuje historii očima umučené antické filozofky. A je přitom břitká a neodolatelná jako vždycky.

Čtrnáct dnů - Margaret Atwoodová

Soubor povídek o počátku pandemie v New Yorku vymyšlený Margaret Atwoodovou. Koncept spočívá ve hře pro celou skupinu autorů. Výchozí situace: Kdo stihl před karanténou odjet z města na venkov, udělal to. Statisíce lidí však v New Yorku zůstalo, třeba jako obyvatelé jednoho činžáku. Skoro nikam se nesmí, ale střecha je pěkně plochá a dá se tam posedět. Někdo přinese křeslo, někdo basu piv a lidé se tam začínají scházet, bez mobilů, zato každý se svým příběhem. Soused pozná soused a hned se pandemie překonává o něco lépe. Mezi další autory povídkového souboru patří Neil Gaiman, David Byrne, John Grisham, Dave Eggers atd.

Gazela a Chřástal - Margaret Atwoodová

Gazela a Chřástal je nejen příběhem velké a zničující lásky, ale i strhující a varovnou vizí budoucnosti. Hlavní hrdina Sněžný alias Jimmy, jak se mu říkalo v dobách před vypuknutím moru, jenž vyhladil veškeré lidstvo, bojuje o přežití ve světě, kde je možná posledním žijícím člověkem, a truchlí nad ztrátou svého nejlepšího kamaráda Chřástala a jejich společné lásky, krásné a nepostižitelné Gazely. Jeho jedinými společníky jsou zelenooké Chřástalovy děti, výsledky genetického experimentu jeho vizionářského přítele. Ve snaze vyrovnat se s minulostí se Sněžný vydává po vlastních stopách do míst, kde ještě nedávno stávalo moderní, výstavní město a kam se po konci civilizace rychle vrací divočina. Obraz nepříliš vzdálené budoucnosti, který Margaret Atwoodová v románu vykresluje, je ve své tíživé pravděpodobnosti nejen znepokojivý, ale i varovný…

Alias Grace - Margaret Atwoodová

Historický román Alias Grace je založen na skutečných událostech, vraždách Thomase Kinneara a Nancy Montgomeryové, z nichž byla obviněna mladičká služebná Grace Marksová a sluha James McDermott. Za mladou Grace, trpící ztrátou paměti, přijíždí do věznice po deseti letech mladý psychiatr Simon Jordan, aby se v ní pokusil vzkřísit pohřbené vzpomínky a zjistil, jestli zločin skutečně spáchala. Během dlouhých rozhovorů hledá cestu do její paměti skrz sny a dotazy na dětství strávené v Irsku, odkud se celá rodina přesunula do Kanady za lepším životem. Přes původně čistě profesionální zájem o Gracin případ se postupně zaplétá do jejího příběhu. Gracino vyprávění i Jordanovy životní peripetie se odehrávají v kulisách Kanady první poloviny 19. století. Propracovaný historický román patří mezi nejdůležitější a nejčtenější díla Margaret Atwoodové - v roce 2017 podle něj natočila společnost Netflix oceňovaný televizní seriál. "Alias Grace uhání kupředu tempem komerčního román a má sílu budoucí klasiky." - Washington Post Book World "Ať už je Grace z pera Margaret Atwoodové zloduška, nebo oběť, vždycky je to fascinující společnice." - People "V románu Alias Grace je všechno, co má fantastická knížka mít: napětí, tajemství, vzrušení a dokonale propracované historické prostředí." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

On Writers and Writing - Margaret Atwoodová

By the author of THE HANDMAID''S TALE and ALIAS GRACEWhat is the role of the writer? Prophet? High Priest of Art? Court Jester? Or witness to the real world? Looking back on her own childhood and the development of her writing career, Margaret Atwood examines the metaphors which writers of fiction and poetry have used to explain - or excuse! - their activities, looking at what costumes they have seen fit to assume, what roles they have chosen to play. In her final chapter she takes up the challenge of the book''s title: if a writer is to be seen as ''gifted'', who is doing the giving and what are the terms of the gift?Margaret Atwood''s wide and eclectic reference to other writers, living and dead, is balanced by anecdotes from her own experiences as a writer, both in Canada and on the international scene. The lightness of her touch is underlined by a seriousness about the purpose and the pleasures of writing, and by a deep familiarity with the myths and traditions of western literature.Praise for On Writers and Writing: ''...a streetwise, erudite suggestive enquiry into problems and myths of the writer''s role.

Princess Margaret and the Curse - Secrest Meryle

A Groundbreaking New Perspective of Princess Margaret by Renowned Biographer Meryle Secrest Meryle Secrest, distinguished biographer in the arts and humanities, and recipient of a White House Medal, has turned her focus to royalty. In Princess Margaret and the Curse, she has put the conventional view of a much-reviled Princess on its head. Her latest study, which she considers more of an investigation than a biography as such, proposes that nobody knows the truth about the fabled, doomed Princess. She is the first person to have looked at Princess Margaret in a particular family context. That is to say with reference to her mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the daughter of a famous, hard-drinking Scottish family that had inhabited an ancient dwelling, Glamis Castle, for centuries. Her older brothers were already renowned for their prowess in alcohol consumption. Decades later, once she became Queen Mother, this Elizabeth would begin to imbibe by eleven in the morning. She was already lamenting the loss of her "drinking powers" when, because of severe bouts of morning sickness during her first pregnancy with the future Queen Elizabeth in 1926, she could not drink. Four years later, while pregnant with Princess Margaret in 1930, she was not ... Unknown localization key: "more"

DEAR GOD. DEAR BONES. DEAR YELLOW. - Noor Hindi

What is political poetry and linguistic activism? What does it mean to bear witness through writing? When language proves insufficient, how do we find and articulate a pathway forward? Dear God. Dear Bones. Dear Yellow. interrogates, subverts, and expands these questions through poems that are formally and lyrically complex, dynamic, and innovative. With rich intertextuality and an unwavering eye, Noor Hindi explores and interrogates colonialism, religion, patriarchy, and the complex intersections of her identity. Featuring her widely circulated poem, “Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying,” this book is an incomparable force of fury and precision from a powerful and unstoppable poet. Noor Hindi’s collection is ultimately a provocation: on trauma, on art, and on what it takes to truly see the world for what it is/isn’t and change it for the better.
