The definitive edition of selected work from a poet whose influence continues to be widely felt today, introduced by Natasha TretheweyEngaging closely with the violence, oppression, and injustice that she witnessed in her lifetime, Muriel Rukeyser was one of the seminal poets of the mid-twentieth century. Closely informed by issues relating to equality, social justice, feminism, and Judaism, her impassioned poetry was often seen as a mode of social protest, but it was also heralded for its deep emotional impact; its personal perspective; forthright discussion of the female experience, particularly sex and single parenthood at a time when these topics were largely taboo; and its wide-ranging exploration of genre and form. As Adrienne Rich wrote: “Muriel Rukeyser’s poetry is unequalled in the twentieth-century United States…She pushes us…to enlarge our sense of what poetry is about in the world, and of the place of feelings and memory in politics.”The Essential Muriel Rukeyser represents the curation of Rukeyser’s most enduring and urgent work, gathered in one volume that spans the many decades of her life and career, and with an introduction from Natasha Trethewey, one of our most important contemporary poets.

Jemně ironické vyprávění o hlubokých věcech se svůdnou lehkostí, prostý a dojemný příběh o setkávání a míjení, o slepotě a vidění, o pomíjivosti i věčnosti. Renée působí jako typická stárnoucí, nudná, omezená, ovdovělá domovnice. Má na starosti dům číslo 7 na ulici Grenelle rozdělený na osm luxusních bytů. Nikdo však netuší, že je sečtělejší a vzdělanější než všichni movití obyvatelé honosného činžáku, který obstarává. Potají totiž proniká do všech zákoutí filozofie a oddává se náročné literatuře. Její pokoutné intelektuální spády odhalí až předčasně vyzrálá dvanáctiletá Paloma, jež bydlí v jednom z apartmá a je kvůli nesmyslnosti života odhodlaná v den svých třináctých narozenin spáchat sebevraždu. „Není mnoho románů, které by v dnešní době přispívaly k pozitivnímu vnímání zcela všedních situací, přinášely okouzlení kvetoucí květinou, milým úsměvem či letním deštíkem, nebály se mluvit ani o lidské bolesti a nacházely v tom všem hluboký smysl bytí.

Muriel Sparková (1918–2006) patří mezi nejvýznamnější anglicky píšící autory 20. století a próza Nejlepší léta slečny Jean Brodieové je považována za její nejvýznamnější dílo. Dějovou linku tvoří příběh skupiny studentek dívčí školy, které si jejich zvláště osobitá učitelka „vyvolí“ za své stoupenkyně a snaží se jim během období, jež považuje pro sebe i pro ně za přelomové, vtisknout postoje, jež považuje za určující pro důstojný život. Kniha ale především zachycuje zvláštní ambivalenci vztahu mezi dívkami na prahu dospělosti a jejich sebevědomou „vůdkyní“, jejíž ambivalentní a těžko posuzovatelná povaha se vynořuje ze souhry různých hledisek, očekávání a vzpomínek.

Unforgettably astounding and a joy to read, Memento Mori is considered by many to be the greatest novel by the wizardly Dame Muriel Spark. In late 1950s London, something uncanny besets a group of elderly friends: an insinuating voice on the telephone informs each, "Remember you must die." Their geriatric feathers are soon thoroughly ruffled by these seemingly supernatural phone calls, and in the resulting flurry many old secrets are dusted off. Beneath the once decorous surface of their lives, unsavories like blackmail and adultery are now to be glimpsed. As spooky as it is witty, poignant and wickedly hilarious, Memento Mori may ostensibly concern death, but it is a book which leaves one relishing life all the more.

Find your signature voice.People are drawn to and influenced by leaders who communicate authentically, connect easily with people, and have immediate impact. So how do you become one of them? How can you learn to "own the room"? This book will help you develop your leadership presence.According to Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, leadership presence is the ability to consistently and clearly articulate your value proposition while influencing and connecting with others.

Hers is a Cinderella story, the first thirty-nine years of which she presented in her autobiography, Curriculum Vitae (1992), politely blurring the intensity of her darker moments: her relations with her brother, mother, son, husband; a terrifying period of hallucinations and subsequent depression; and the disastrously misplaced love she had felt for two men she had wanted to marry, Howard Sergeant and Derek Stanford. Aged nineteen, Spark left Scotland to marry in Southern Rhodesia, escaping back to Britain on a troopship in 1944 after her divorce. Her son returned in 1945 to be brought up by her parents in Edinburgh while she established herself as a poet and critic in London. After becoming a Roman Catholic in 1954, she began a novel, The Comforters, and with Memento Mori, The Ballad of Peckham Rye and The Bachelors rose rapidly into the literary stratosphere.

Sexual Violence, Dissociation, and Inequality is a book about traumatic memory—or how lived trauma is repeated by victims as if happening again.The author, internationally renowned psychiatrist Muriel Salmona, lays out a convincing argument for the ways in which victims are neurologically compelled to relive trauma and how, with proper treatment, they can fully heal. Informed by decades of clinical practice, research, and activism, Salmona explains how victims’ behaviors are rooted in neurology as normal responses to abnormal situations. In contrast to a climate of victim-blaming denial, Salmona explains how grave the violation of victims’ human rights truly is and what to do about it in terms of care and prevention. She explains in clear language how to reconstruct victims’ narratives, which are often clouded by traumatic amnesia, and thereby reconnect parts of the brain that were severed during the traumatic event.This is a guide for professionals who work with survivors, for survivors themselves, and for anyone committed to understanding and reducing violence and inequality.

The brevity of Muriel Spark''s novels is equaled only by their brilliance. These four novels, each a miniature masterpiece, illustrate her development over four decades. Despite the seriousness of their themes, all four are fantastic comedies of manners, bristling with wit.Spark''s most celebrated novel, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE, tells the story of a charismatic schoolteacher''s catastrophic effect on her pupils. THE GIRLS OF SLENDER MEANS is a beautifully drawn portrait of young women living in a hostel in London in the giddy postwar days of 1945. THE DRIVER''S SEAT follows the final haunted hours of a woman descending into madness. And THE ONLY PROBLEM is a witty fable about suffering that brings the Book of Job to bear on contemporary terrorism.Characters are vividly etched in a few words; earth-shaking events are lightly touched on. Yet underneath the glittering surface there is an obsessive probing of metaphysical questions: the meaning of good and evil, the need for salvation, the search for significance.

The Bachelors displays the best of Sparkian satire, placing her at the heart of a great literary tradition alongside Waugh and Trollope, Wilde and Wodehouse. It demands rediscovery.''It''s easy to see why Waugh admired The Bachelors. On one level, it is a blithely carnivorous satire in the Waugh mould. The bachelors of the title - almost the only men we meet in the narrative - are the thirty-something male barristers, teachers, journalists and museum attendants of a small patch of West London. They lead inturned, doddery, superannuated lives, pottering between grocers, coffee-houses, bedsits and the houses of their mothers and aunts. But the comedy here is serious in a way that Waugh''s satanically energetic comedies of misery rarely are . . . comedies of English manners have seldom been darker'' Daily Telegraph''My admiration for Spark''s contribution to world literature knows no bounds. She was peerless, sparkling, inventive and intelligent - the crème de la crème'' Ian Rankin''Muriel Spark''s novels linger in the mind as brilliant shards, decisive as a smashed glass is decisive'' John Updike, New Yorker

Příběh, který vypráví jedna z nejrespektovanějších současných britských autorek, je vlastně jedním z možných řešení záhady, která započala 7. listopadu 1974. Tehdy byla v sídle významného aristokrata lorda Lucana nalezena mrtvola chůvy nedbale strčená do poštovního pytle. Opodál v bezvědomí ležela Lucanova poraněná manželka. Vzhledem k tomu, že sám Lucan bez vysvětlení zmizel, a s přihlédnutím k mnoha dalším podivným okolnostem, se předpokládalo, že pán domu nemá čisté svědomí. Od té doby se zprávy o výskytu či pobytu prominentního podezřelého objevovaly v různých částech světa. Jak vznikaly, tak se také nepotvrzovaly...V roce 1999 byl Lucan oficiálně prohlášen za mrtvého... Na těchto skutečnostech vystavěla Muriel Sparková magický příběh, který kromě tajemství nabízí i nenapodobitelný sarkasmus a obdivuhodný smysl pro popis skrytých pohnutek hlavních protagonistů téměř detektivní historie.
