''A literary giant'' TAYARI JONESA richly imaginative and moving new novel from the Pulitzer finalist and acclaimed author of CorregidoraA cook and tractor repairman, Buddy was known as Budweiser to his army pals because he''s a wise guy. But underneath that surface, he''s a man on a quest: looking for religion, looking for meaning, looking for love.Returning from the Second World War not to a hero''s welcome, but to the discrimination of the Jim Crow laws, Buddy stumbles across the Unicorn Woman, a carnival sideshow with a horn growing from her forehead, whose strange beauty he can''t forget.As he drifts across the South, from Kentucky to Memphis, Buddy encounters a dazzling array of almost mythic characters: circus barkers, topiary trimmers, landladies who provide shelter and plenty of advice for their all-Black clientele, proto feminists and bigots - dreaming all the while of the unforgettable Unicorn Woman herself.With her inimitable eye for beauty, tragedy and humour, Jones offers a rich, intriguing exploration of the Black imagination in a time of frustration and hope.''Her truth-telling, filled with beauty, tragedy, humour, and incisiveness, is unmatched'' IMANI PERRY''Gayl Jones is enjoying a dazzling late-career renaissance'' SUZI FEAY, TLS''Intricate, mesmerising and endlessly inventive'' DEESHA PHILYAW

Audiokniha: Z komentáře Emauela Frynty k původnímu LP albu DV 15225 "Poezie M.J.Lermontova a A. S. Puškina" vydanému v Supraphonu v roce 1964 a nyní vycházejícímu poprvé digitálně: Zatímco druhořadí básníci hynou tím, že upadají v zapomnění, tak zvané klasiky napořád umrtvuje bronz pomníků a čítanková popularita. Kdekdo je chválí, ale nikdo nečte. A tak skutečně nesmrtelní jsou jen ti, kdo věčně svěží životností tvorby přemáhají pompu chval a houštinami pedantských výkladů zas a zas vcházejí do přítomné chvíle. Ruští básníci ALEXANDER SERGEJEVIČ PUŠKIN a MICHAIL JURIEVIČ LERMONTOV patří ve světové poezii k těmto nesmrtelným jménům. Jejich tvorba byla a zůstává čímsi víc než jen projevem talentované dovednosti, je to soubor vzrušených a rozechvělých gest intenzívního života. Nadání, zázračně bohaté a všestranné, souviselo u nich obou s nesmlouvavým charakterem a zcela mimořádným vzděláním. Byli to lidé, jejichž osobnosti a osudy byly básnické, pokládáme-li totiž za básníka člověka vidoucího a žijícího plněji než jiní. Číst jen jejich biografii znamená obdivovat je. Vnímat jejich poezii je naslouchat hlasu jejich životů vnitřních, dávných už a přešlých, a přece trvajících, blízkých a srozumitelných. Puškin se narodil téhož roku jako F.L. Čelakovský - 1799, Lermontov o čtyři léta později než K.H. Mácha - 1814. Patřili ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Gayle DeLong was a well-known activist in the autism community, the ‘Warrior Mom’ of two autistic daughters. She worked closely with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on vaccine injury issues. This book is a record (based largely on her diaries) of her happy marriage to Jonathan Rose. Love in the Age of Autism does not sugarcoat the stresses and heartbreak of raising autistic children: it is more honest about that than most other books on the subject. But it is also an inspiring love story, which can help autism parents find profound joys in spite of all the pains. It offers practical advice and models for sharing the burdens and pleasures of life, based on a strong sense of family values. This book frankly (and with an earthy sense of humour) illustrates how autism parents can continue to enjoy passionate, monogamous physical love – and it explains how to provide sex education for autistic girls. The tale that Gayle and Jonathan tell is intensely romantic and life-affirming.

Francouzská básnířka a spisovatelka Raissa Maritainová (1883-1960) se zabývala otázkami poezie a umění i jednotlivými tvůrčími výkony v důležité části svého esejistického díla. Její manžel filosof Jacques Maritain (1882-1973) sám nebyl básník, ale poezie a umění tvořily důležitou součást jeho života a jeho teorie umění patří k nejoriginálnějším částem jeho filosofického díla. Maritainovi se také přátelili s řadou vynikajících básníků, spisovatelů, malířů či hudebních skladatelů, o čemž podává svědectví Raissa Maritainová v knize Velká přátelství (česky Praha, Triáda 2012). Kniha Situace poezie obsahuje dvě eseje od Raissy Maritainové: v eseji Smysl a jeho absence v poezii se věnuje otázce, co je básnický smysl a jakým způsobem je do něj integrován logický smysl (J. Maritain se o tento esej bude opírat v pasážích věnovaných básnickému a logickému smyslu v knize Tvůrčí intuice v umění a poezii, 1953), esej Magie, poezie a mystika se, jak sám název napovídá, věnuje vztahu poezie a magie, ale je také příspěvkem do dobové diskuse o vztahu poezie a mystiky. Dvě eseje od Jacquesa Maritaina - Poetické poznání a Zkušenost básníka - načrtávají definici krásných umění jako vztahu umění a poezie, přičemž umění je chápáno jako jakési "tělo" uměleckého díla a poezie jako jeho "duše".

The remarkable life story of Ella Jenkins, “The First Lady of Children’s Music.”  Ella Jenkins was one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century. Her songs “You’ll Sing a Song and I’ll Sing a Song” and “Who Fed the Chickens?” are classics in the world of children’s music. In a career spanning more than sixty years, she recorded forty albums, won a lifetime-achievement Grammy, and became the best-selling individual artist in the history of Smithsonian Folkways Records, the independent label that played a significant role in the 1960s folk revival movement and introduced listeners to Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. During her remarkable career, Jenkins joined forces with twentieth-century luminaries such as Odetta, Big Bill Broonzy, Armando Peraza, Bayard Rustin, and Fred Rogers. Despite her wide-reaching influence on children’s music, Ella Jenkins’s sonic civil rights activism isn’t widely known today.  Based on dozens of interviews and access to Ella Jenkins’s personal archives, Gayle F. Wald’s This Is Rhythm shares how Jenkins, a “rhythm specialist” with no formal musical training, became the most prolific and significant American children’s musician of the twentieth century, creating a beloved catalog of songs grounded in values of community-building, antiracism, and cultural ...

Even though the Irish child sex abuse scandals in the Catholic Church have appeared steadily in the media, many children remain in peril. In The Child Sex Scandal and Modern Irish Literature, Joseph Valente and Margot Gayle Backus examine modern cultural responses to child sex abuse in Ireland. Using descriptions of these scandals found in newspapers, historiographical analysis, and 20th- and 21st-century literature, Valente and Backus expose a public sphere ardently committed to Irish children's souls and piously oblivious to their physical welfare. They offer historically contextualized and psychoanalytically informed readings of scandal narratives by nine notable modern Irish authors who actively, pointedly, and persistently question Ireland's responsibilities regarding its children. Through close, critical readings, a more nuanced and troubling account emerges of how Ireland's postcolonial heritage has served to enable such abuse. The Child Sex Scandal and Modern Irish Literature refines the debates on why so many Irish children were lost by offering insight into the lived experience of both the children and those who failed them.
