This is the first wholly new collection of Don Camillo stories to be translated into English for over forty years - novel enchantments for those who already know the hot-headed village priest and his adversary Peppone, the communist mayor, and a very special entré for those who don''t.Set against the background of the rise and fall of fascism (Mussolini, Hitler) and post-war communism (Stalin, Khrushchev and Mao''s China), the author looks down with hawk''s-eye vision into the lives of the ordinary people of La Bassa, and delivers his message with great humour and insight - to cut through prejudice and political correctness and follow one''s inner voice rather than any political dogma.''So concerned with the trivialities of everyday life ... and so shrewd.''

Don Quixote de la Mancha - Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra

A highly entertaining comic novel, Don Quixote was published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. Nothing quite like it had been published before. Don Quixote, a poor nobleman from La Mancha in central Spain, has a passion for reading tales of chivalry, and is inspired to set off in search of adventure. To his fevered imagination, everyday objects seem to pose irresistible heroic challenges: the result is an extended and comic series of absurd exploits, which also raise questions about reality and illusion, fact and fiction.Don Quixote was Cervantes'' belated but colossal literary success. It is a work which has achieved mythic status and is considered to have pioneered the modern novel. Don Quixote, Sancho Panza, and the horse, Rocinante, are now archetypal figures in the literature of the West. This celebrated translation by Charles Jarvis conveys the flavour of the original Spanish, and the new introduction and notes provide essential background information.

Důmyslný rytíř Don Quijote de la Mancha - Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Španělský prozaik, dramatik a básník Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra svým románem Důmyslný rytíř Don Quijote de la Mancha (1605-1615), tímto "arcidílem španělské a světové literatury", patrně původně zamýšlel parodovat rytířské romány, avšak původní úmysl autorovi přerostl v rozsáhlý a hluboký obraz titulního hrdiny, doby a lidského života vůbec. Román vstupuje do složitého kontextu: Cervantes boří "babylónskou věž rytířských románů", paroduje román pastýřský, utopický i dobrodružný. Don Quijote, který toužil světu vnutit svůj ideál, a jeho nerozlučný druh Sancho Panza vyjadřují symbolicky dualismus španělského ducha, neustálé střetání ideálu, iluze a snu s realitou, které je bohatým zdrojem komiky i tragiky.Účinkují Radovan Lukavský, Petr Haničinec, Eva Klepáčová, Milan Neděla, Jaroslav Moučka, Miloš Rozhoň, Jarmila Krulišová, Jaroslava Tvrzníková, Blanka Bohdanová, Milena Dvorská, Ivo Gübel, Jan Bartoš, Karel Hlušička, Miroslav Moravec, Dalimil Klapka, Miloš Hlavica, Petr Oliva a Ladislav Potměšil.

Unikátní vydání jednoho ze základních děl světové literatury, vybavené nejrozsáhlejším a nejreprezentativnějším souborem donkichotských obrazů génia sur­realismu Salvadora Dalího, jaký byl kdy knižně publikován.Příběh nejslavnějšího snílka všech dob, dona Quijota de la Mancha – slovutného šlechtice poblázněného četbou rytířských románů, který se odmítá smířit s malostí své doby, a tak se s chatrnou zbrojí, neochvějnou vírou a s věrným zbrojnošem Sanchem Panzou vydává napravovat křivdy, bojovat s neviditelnými obry a hledat krásu ve světě, který přestal věřit v ideály – inspiruje výtvarné umělce již čtyři sta let. Sotva však najdeme jiného významného malíře, který se postavě dona Quijota věnoval s takovou intenzitou a vášní jako právě Salvador Dalí.První své ilustrace na téma donkichotství vytvořil Dalí v roce 1946 ve Spojených státech amerických, poslední pak v osmdesátých letech, kdy se jeho aktivní umělecká dráha uzavřela. Don Quijote byl Dalímu niterně blízký jako obraz sebe sama – vizionáře, blázna, umělce, který bojuje se světem rozumu prostřednictvím imaginace. Dalí se vědomě distancoval od tradičního romantizujícího pojetí, odmítal patos hrdinství a idealizaci, a místo toho se snažil vizualizovat napětí mezi vizí a skutečností, onen duševní rozkol, který postava dona Quijota ztělesňuje.

An “enthralling” (Genevieve Cogman, author of The Invisible Library and Elusive) Italian-inspired gothic historical fantasy about a young woman who finds her power in the nocturnal realm that lurks beneath her town.Just beyond the waking edges of Lucerìa, an 18th-century town in the kingdom of Naples, lies the Night: an enigmatic fiefdom governed by seven immortals and fueled by Moira, the power to reshape one’s destiny. On this porous border separating Day from Night, Oriana spends her time fantasizing about becoming a smith in her father’s forge and eavesdropping on whispered tales of beasts and men who roam the nocturnal realm. But in the Night, these stories come alive, as Oriana saw for herself after she inadvertently trespassed into the Secret Market of the Dead, where vendors hawk Moira to those desperate enough to accept its immeasurably steep price. Years later, when her father chooses her twin brother to succeed him, Oriana challenges her sibling to a series of trials to determine the forge’s true heir. But as the twins’ fierce competition escalates, with the town and her own family set firmly against her, Oriana realizes that to break free from the stifling confines of Day, she must once again ...

The League of Lady Poisoners - Lisa Perrin

A feast for the senses, this sumptuously illustrated book will introduce you to some of the most infamous women throughout world history, united by their shared taste for poison. Welcome to the League of Lady Poisoners.This riveting and well-researched volume by Lisa Perrin weaves together the stories of more than twenty-five accused women poisoners, exploring the circumstances and skill sets that led them to lives of crime. You might find yourself rooting for some of them—like Sally Bassett, who helped poison her granddaughter’s enslavers in Bermuda, or Giulia Tofana, who sold her name-brand concoction to women wanting to be rid of their abusive (or otherwise undesirable) husbands. Other stories, though—including that of Yiya Murano, one of Argentina’s most notorious swindlers and serial killers, or the terrifying Nurse Jane Toppan—may prove less palatable. Organized into thematic chapters based on the women’s motives, the book also includes an illustrated primer that delves into the origins and effects of common poisons throughout history, as well as a foreword by Holly Frey and Maria Trimarchi, creators and hosts of the podcast Criminalia. It is a treat for true crime fans, feminist history buffs, and any curious readers fascinated by the more macabre side of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Basho - Basho

This is the essential English edition of the complete poems of the eminent Japanese master of the haiku, Matsuo Basho.  Matsuo Basho (1644–1694) is arguably the greatest figure in the history of Japanese literature and the master of the haiku. Basho: The Complete Haiku of Matsuo Basho offers in English a full picture of the haiku of Basho, 980 poems in all. Andrew Fitzsimons’ translation is the first to adhere strictly to form: all of the poems are translated following the syllabic count of the originals. This book also translates a number of Basho’s headnotes to poems ignored by previous English-language translators.  In Fitzsimons’ beautiful rendering, Basho is much more than a philosopher of the natural world and the leading exponent of a refined Japanese sensibility. He is also a poet of queer love and eroticism; of the city as well as the country, the indoors and the outdoors, travel and staying put; of lonesomeness as well as the desire to be alone. His poetry explores the full range of social experience in Edo Japan as he moved among friends and followers high and low, the elite and the demi-monde, the less fortunate: poor farmers, abandoned children, disregarded ...

HM Naval Base Clyde - Keith Hall

The Clyde submarine base was officially commissioned in 1967. The Faslane site had originally been used as a military port during the Second World War and was built and manned by the army. HMS Adamant, the Depot ship of the 3rd Submarine Squadron, first anchored in Faslane Bay in 1957, and over the years the base has increased in size to accommodate the growing sophistication of the squadron submarines and the increasing number of hulls. This book traces the development of the base in unsurpassed pictorial detail, from its initial use by the army to October 1996, when the base became HM Naval Base Clyde. Chronicling the histories of the two submarine squadrons based at Faslane, the 3rd and 10th Squadrons, this collection is sure to provoke nostalgia among submariners and personnel who have served at the base, while providing a fascinating insight for those not so familiar with its story.
