These seven stories were the last that Carver wrote. Among them is one of his longest, ''Errand'', in which he imagines the death of Chekhov, a writer Carver hugely admired and to whose work his own was often compared. This fine story suggests that the greatest of modern short-story writers may, in the year before his untimely death, have been flexing his muscles for a longer work.

Raymond Carver, who became a master-storyteller of his generation and was hailed in Europe as ''the American Chekhov'', wrote of himself: "I began as a poet. My first publication was a poem. So I suppose on my tombstone I''d be very pleased if they put ''Poet and short-story writer - and occasional essayist'', in that order." This complete edition allows readers to experience the range and overwhelming power of Carver''s poetry for the first time. It brings together in the order of their American publication the poems of Fires (1985), Where Water Comes Together with Other Water (1986), Ultramarine (1988), A New Path to the Waterfall (1989) and No Heroics, Please (1991). For readers who know Carver''s middle period only through his selected poems, In a Marine Light (1988), it includes the windfall of 51 poems not previously published in Britain. All of Us is edited by Professor William L. Stull of the University of Hartford, and introduced with an essay on Raymond Carver''s methods of composition by his widow, the poet Tess Gallagher.

Raymond Carver said it was possible ''to write about commonplace things and objects using commonplace but precise language and endow these things - a chair, a window curtain, a fork, a stone, a woman''s earring - with immense, even startling power''. Nowhere is this alchemy more striking than in the title story of Cathedral in which a blind man guides the hand of a sighted man as together they draw the cathedral the blind man can never see. Many view this story, and indeed this collection, as a watershed in the maturing of Carver''s work to a more confidently poetic style.

Výbor z poezie s doslovem a básněmi Tess Gallagherové, autorovy druhé manželky. Americký spisovatel R. Carver (1939-1988) proslul především jako autor povídek, s nimiž se už český čtenář měl možnost seznámit. Sám Carver si však více než povídek cenil své básnické tvorby, které se průběžně věnoval po celou svou spisovatelskou kariéru. Básně mapují vnější i vnitřní události Carverova soukromého života - rozporuplný vztah k matce, otci, první ženě a dětem, boj se závislostí na alkoholu, zážitky z cest po světě a rybářských výprav, hluboký vztah ke druhé ženě Tess, boj s rakovinou a smíření se smrtí. Podobně jako v povídkách, tak i v básních ještě ve větší zkratce dokáže povýšit banální životní okamžik na moment čehosi posvátného.

Takto by se v roce 1981 jmenovala a takto by vypadala druhá velká Carverova sbírka, kdyby ji redaktor Gordon Lish autorovi neseškrtal, nepřepsal a nepřejmenoval na "O čem mluvíme, když mluvíme o lásce". Zachovala se korespondence obou pánu, ze které vyplývá, že se Carver velmi snažil své dílo uhájit, ale nebylo mu to nic platné: Lish mu z některých povídek vyhodil čtyři pětiny textu. Carver (1938-1988) ještě za svého života některé původní verze vydal, ale v úplnosti nyní "přepsané" povídky vycházejí poprvé.

With this, his first collection, Carver breathed new life into the short story. In the pared-down style that has since become his hallmark, Carver showed how humour and tragedy dwell in the hearts of ordinary people, and won a readership that grew with every subsequent brilliant collection of stories, poems and essays that appeared in the last eleven years of his life.

What We Talk About When We Talk About Love is Carver''s most famous collection of short stories and remians one of the most influential pieces of modern literature to date. But the original, unedited manuscript, Beginners – published here for the first time, was almost fifty per cent longer than the published collection. This restored version of Carver''s stories reveals what was previously unsaid, filling in the narrative silences that have both inspired and mystified readers for so long. Beginners is a fascinating insight into the aesthetic of a literary great and, in the questions it raises, may just spark off one of the great cultural debates of our times.

Třetím svazkem pětidílného českého vydání všech povídek legendárního amerického spisovatele je sbírka Katedrála, Carverova kniha nejuznávanější, a to nejen díky slavné titulní povídce. Autor se v této sbírce z roku 1983 vymanil z vlivu svého redaktora a vymínil si, že se redakční zásahy mohou týkat jen interpunkce. Toto je tedy Carver "nezkreslený vnějšími vlivy". Doslov k českému vydání dodala Tess Gallagherová, druhá Carverova žena, která "byla přitom".

Jedině tento čtvrtý z pěti Carverových českých svazků neodpovídá žádné z původních anglických sbírek a zároveň má největší časový i tématický rozptyl. Přináší nejstarší autorovy publikované texty - včetne úplné první povídky, která mu vyšla ve 22 letech - a také pět povídek objevených v pozůstalosti. Knihu uzavírá blok sedmi povídek, které jsou vrcholem Carverova díla a stačily vyjít těsně před jeho smrtí v roce 1988 (tedy zejména ta, jíž Carver postavil pomník sobě i svému oblíbenému A. P. Čechovovi). Z jednadvaceti zahrnutých titulů zde má českou premiéru dvanáct povídek.

''I look at all of Carver''s work as just one story, for his stories are all occurences, all about things that just happen to people and cause their lives to take a turn... In formulating the mosaic of the film Short Cuts, which is based on these nine stories and a poem, ''Lemonade'', I''ve tried to do the same thing- to give the audience one look... But it all began here. I was a reader turning these pages. Trying on these lives'' - Robert Altman in his introduction.

In the words of Cornel West, Raymond Williams was "the last of the great European male revolutionary socialist intellectuals." A figure of international importance in the fields of cultural criticism and social theory, Williams was also preoccupied throughout his life with the meaning and significance of his Welsh identity. Who Speaks for Wales? was the first collection of Raymond WilliamsÂ’s writings on Welsh culture, literature, history, and politics. Published in 2003, it appeared in the early years of Welsh political devolution and offered a historical and theoretical basis for thinking across the divisions of nationalism and socialism in Welsh thought. This new edition, appearing in the centenary of WilliamsÂ’ birth, appears at a very different moment in which, after the Brexit referendum of 2016, Raymond WilliamsÂ’s "Welsh-European" vision seems to have been soundly rejected and is now a reminder of what might have been. This new edition includes new material and a new afterword.

In a galaxy dominated by the AI-driven warships and robotic armies of the wealthy planet Carthage, freedom is a distant dream for the conquered colonies. As rebellion brews across the empire, from the golden streets of Carthage to the post-apocalyptic ruins of Earth, the machines set their sights on the ocean world Galapagos. But they face unexpected resistance from a fiercely independent population led by a battle-hardened submarine commander who refuses to surrender his world's freedom for the illusion of peace. With the insurrection against the imperial machines underway, the future of humanity hangs in the balance. The machines, programmed for victory at any cost, will stop at nothing to crush the rebellion and ensure their dominion over the galaxy. In this masterful tale, author Max Carver weaves a terrifying vision of a machine-controlled future, where humanity's very existence is at stake. Combining the cerebral dystopia of Bladerunner with the heart-pounding action of Terminator, this cautionary tale will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Can the rebels overcome the overwhelming might of the machines, or will human freedom become nothing more than a fading memory in a galaxy ruled by artificial intelligence?_________________________________________________________What readers said about the Empire of ...

''A terrific read'' Andy McNabIn November 1942, two nights after the Battle of El Alamein, a young British army officer was captured. As the Nazis deliberated about what to do with him, Richard Carver had particular reason to be afraid: unknown to anyone, he was the stepson of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, the Allied Commander who had just inflicted the first defeat on the Third Reich. This gripping story tells of Richard''s internment in a POW camp in northern Italy. Having decided to risk making his way back to Allied HQ in the south, he embarked on a gruelling 500-mile journey through German-occupied territory, evading capture again and again and ultimately being saved by a family of brave Italians who jeopardised not just their own lives but those of an entire village to hide him. In the winter of 1943, a year after he disappeared, he staggered back into Army HQ, to be greeted by his stepfather with the words, ''Where the hell have you been?''This is a great adventure story - a reminder of a lost age, and of a generation forced to rise to extraordinary feats of valour in the service of a cause greater than themselves.''Riveting and ...
