Factotum tie-in - Charles Bukowski

“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author“He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriterOne of Charles Bukowski''s best, this beer-soaked, deliciously degenerate novel follows the wanderings of aspiring writer Henry Chinaski across World War II-era America. Deferred from military service, Chinaski travels from city to city, moving listlessly from one odd job to another, always needing money but never badly enough to keep a job. His day-to-day existence spirals into an endless litany of pathetic whores, sordid rooms, dreary embraces, and drunken brawls, as he makes his bitter, brilliant way from one drink to the next.Charles Bukowski''s posthumous legend continues to grow. Factotum is a masterfully vivid evocation of slow-paced, low-life urbanity and alcoholism, and an excellent introduction to the fictional world of Charles Bukowski.

Factotum - Charles Bukowski

Henry Chinaski, an outcast, a loner and a hopeless drunk, drifts around America from one dead-end job to another, from one woman to another and from one bottle to the next. Uncompromising, gritty, hilarious and confessional in turn, his downward spiral is peppered with black humour.Factotum follows Charles Bukowski''s bestselling Post Office, his highly autobiographical first novel. Bukowski''s Beat Generation writing reflects his slum upbringing, his succession of menial jobs and his experience of low life urban America. He died in 1994 and is widely acknowledged as one of the most distinctive writers of the last fifty years.Neeli Cherkovski was a close friend of Bukowski and is the author of Hank: The Life of Charles Bukowski (Random House, 1991)

Absence of the Hero - Charles Bukowski

Everyone’s favorite Dirty Old Man returns with a new volume of uncollected work. Charles Bukowski (1920–1994), one of the most outrageous figures of twentieth-century American literature, was so prolific that many significant pieces never found their way into his books. Absence of the Hero contains much of his earliest fiction, unseen in decades, as well as a number of previously unpublished stories and essays. The classic Bukowskian obsessions are here: sex, booze, and gambling, along with trenchant analysis of what he calls "Playing and Being the Pet." Among the book''s highlights are tales of his infamous public readings ("The Big Dope Reading," "I Just Write Poetry So I Can Go to Bed with Girls"); a review of his own first book; hilarious installments of his newspaper column, Notes of a Dirty Old Man, including meditations on neo-Nazis and driving in Los Angeles; and an uncharacteristic tale of getting lost in the Utah woods ("Bukowski Takes a Trip"). Yet the book also showcases the other Bukowski—an astute if offbeat literary critic. From his own "Manifesto" to his account of poetry in Los Angeles ("A Foreword to These Poets") to idiosyncratic evaluations of Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, LeRoi Jones, and Louis Zukofsky, ...

Nejkrásnější ženská ve městě - Charles Bukowski

Sbírka třiceti povídek z dob, kdy byl Charles Bukowski dle vlastních slov "nezaměstnatelný" a "živil se páskami do psacích strojů". Pár si jich však naštěstí odtrhl od úst, aby nasázel na papír příběhy o vášni a pochybných ženštinách, pití a kocovinách a jiných krásách a ohavnostech života. Pod vlivem hladu se jeho tvorba stává čím dál morbidnější a fantastičtější, v deliriu Bukowski rozvíjí dokonce žánr erotického sci-fi a nebrání se ani zobrazení tabuizovaných forem sexu, neboť poezii podle něj lze najít skutečně všude. Kniha u nás vychází poprvé a mnohé jistě potěší, že jde o autorovo bezkonkurenčně nejchlípnější dílo.

V jednom z nejlepších románů Charlese Bukowského sledujeme, jak Henry Chinaski, autorovo alter ego, prožívá období druhé světové války. Když jej nevezmou do armády, vydává se napříč Amerikou, od jednoho města ke druhému, střídá špatně placená zaměstnání, dělá si nové, bizarní známosti a především: pije a přemýšlí nad nesmyslností života.

Notes of a Dirty Old Man - Charles Bukowski

Perennially drunk, broke and in search of a woman, Bukowski takes on the guise of a wise fool as he ventures through America''s seedy lowlife. Peopled by Kerouac, Burroughs and other much less salubrious characters, his exploits provoke humour and despair, whilst highlighting the inherent beauty and futility of life.

Jelito - Charles Bukowski

Drsňák Hank Chinaski líčí své dospívání v Los Angeles, poznamenané despotickým otcem, šikanou ve škole, bídou za hospodářské krize a narůstajícím pocitem odcizení, jemuž čelil vzdorem, násilím a únikem do světa literatury. Tento nejlepší Bukowského román je vyprávěn s typickým gustem a ironickým humorem, navíc dokonale vykresluje atmosféru doby. Anglický název Ham on Rye odkazuje nejen na tehdejší typickou svačinu do školy (žitný sendvič se šunkou) a obrazně i vypravěčův pocit stísněnosti, ale také na Salingerův román Kdo chytá v žitě. V neposlední řadě tím ovšem Bukowski naráží na svůj styl psaní (a ham writer on rye whiskey, tj. "přehánějící neumětel na žitné") - a tuto sebeironii se snaží zachytit nový překlad Boba Hýska. Do širšího povědomí čtenářů se dostal v 60. letech, s nástupem tzv. malých časopisů, které dávaly prostor nezávislé, proti establishmentu zaměřené tvorbě. Svým bohémským životním stylem a nevybíravým politickým slovníkem si vysloužil pozornost agentů FBI a několikrát pobyl ve vězení, především za výtržnictví.

O psaní - Charles Bukowski

Výbor z Bukowského korespondence ukazuje oblíbeného autora z jiné stránky: dopisy přátelům, redaktorům i kolegům, chronologicky řazené, se dotýkají především tématu psaní. Zachycují jednak pomalu se rozvíjející Bukowského tvůrčí kariéru "zevnitř", očima autora, který líčí, jak začínal poezií v malých časopisech, jak na dlouhá léta psaní úplně přerušil, protože propil psací stroj; jak na jeho možnosti psát působila jeho zaměstnání i lidé kolem něj. Současně čtenář objevuje jakýsi autorský manifest, který Bukowski neformuluje jako prohlášení pro veřejnost rozepsané do okázale formulovaných tvůrčích zásad: spíše mezi řádky čteme autorova zaujetí "pro svůj způsob", přezíravost vůči mainstreamovému "správnému psaní" i rigidním zásadám literárních škol. Navzdory takovému zdánlivě ledabylému postoji je zřejmé, jak důležité psaní pro Bukowského bylo a s jakou vážností se mu věnoval.

Využívá četné stereotypy šestákových románů a dovádí je ad absurdum. Bukowskému nezáleží na dokonalé konstrukci detektivní zápletky, spíš se vyžívá v barvitých popisech odvrácené tváře Los Angeles.

Charles IV. Portrait of a Medieval Ruler - Václav Žůrek

Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, has been called "one of the most learned and diplomatically skillful sovereigns” of the fourteenth century. Having moved the seat of the Holy Roman Empire to Prague and founding the first university in Central Europe, Charles IV is a towering figure in Czech history and a crucial character in the story of medieval Europe.Recent research, especially in art history, has tended to present Charles IV in a purely positive, unblemished light: viewing him and his imperial court as the engine behind a flourishing of culture in the region. This book views Charles IV through a more critical lens, examining the careful construction that went into the way he presented himself, winning over people of the time and even today, as well as the most characteristic manifestations of Charles' execution of royal power.The first part of the book offers a chronological description of Charles' life within the broader context of the times and the House of Luxembourg. The second part provides a close look into Charles IV's style of rule while focusing on phenomena that reveal his personal conception of power and how it was wielded.

On the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the death of Charles IV in 1978, Professor Emanuel Vlček, MD, DSc conducted research of the skeletal remains of the Pater patriae, which brought a number of surprising findings, important to a whole range of scientific disciplines at Charles University, and cast light on significant events in Charles' life as well as on the cause of his death. The research has presented this prominent ruler as a human being, an ordinary mortal, suffering from many injuries and chronic diseases with which he was coping with indefatigable will, keeping in mind his commitments to God and Kingdom of Bohemia. It may be that all the pain and suffering also influenced his spirituality and his efforts to find salvation by attempting to realize his concept of the supreme being (Imitatio Christi). The results of the research by Professor Vlček have been repeatedly published, but until now we have had no representative publication in English. The forthcoming celebrations of the 700th anniversary of Charles' birth offer an opportunity to fill this gap.

Wicked Musical Tie In Edition - Gregory Maguire

The New York Times bestseller and basis for the Tony-winning hit musical, soon to be a major motion picture starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana GrandeWith millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire’s Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film starring Margaret Hamilton (and Judy Garland). In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination. Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin—no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz’s most promising young citizens.But Elphaba’s Oz is ...
