Během pandemie covidu strávil dle svých slov Nick Cave celé hodiny na telefonu; jedním z lidí, s nimiž si volal nejčastěji, byl irský zpěvák a publicista Seán O Hagan - a jejich hovory s postupem času nabývaly na intenzitě a začaly se točit kolem několika uzlových bodů: víry, umění, hudby, svobody, smutku a lásky. Oba přátelé se dohodli, že si telefonáty budou nahrávat - a z nějakých padesáti hodin nahrávek se po radikálním redakčním zpracování zrodila kniha Víra, naděje masakr. Najdeme v ní vše, co jsme si od Nicka Cavea za čtyři dekády jeho oslnivé umělecké dráhy navykli očekávat; dostane se nám upřímné osobní zpovědi i originálních meditací nad smyslem života a umění, a ještě lecčeho navíc. Jak říká sám Cave: Tahle kniha pro mě hodně znamená a myslím, že ji upřímně ocení i každý, komu se nějak zvrtnul život, koho trápí tvůrčí blok, kdo má problém se závislostí, kdo truchlí, kdo zažívá duchovní krizi, kdo se pídí po smyslu života, kdo hledá krásu, kdo se chce naučit, jak napsat píseň či odehrát koncert nebo jen tak existovat.

Andrew Graystone is an everyday activist who believes in the power of tiny acts to change the world. He is the person whose image went viral when, after the mass shooting in the Christchurch mosque, he stood outside the mosque in his Manchester neighbourhood with a cardboard sign saying â ™Iâ ™ll watch while you prayâ ™. Faith, Hope and Mischief tells funny, prophetic and powerful stories of tiny acts of rebellion Andrew has carried out, alongside arresting reflections on what it means to live in faith and hope. His stories delight and challenge in equal measure, showing how the kingdom of God turns up in all kinds of ways and how small things make a big difference. His stories encourage readers to take risks, make holy mischief, poke fun at the over-mighty, and believe that despite evidence to the contrary, the worldâ ™s story is going to end well. This is a manual of everyday activism, a wellspring of wit and wisdom for days when hope is hard to come by, and an inspiration for anyone who feels powerless to make a difference.

Musician, novelist, poet, actor: Nick Cave (b. 1957) is a Renaissance man. His wide-ranging artistic output—always uncompromising, hypnotic, and intense—is defined by an extraordinary gift for storytelling. In Nick Cave: Mercy on Me, Reinhard Kleist employs a cast of characters drawn from Cave’s music and writing to tell the story of a formidable artist and influencer. Kleist paints an expressive and enthralling portrait of Cave’s childhood in Australia; his early years fronting The Birthday Party; the sublime highs of his success with The Bad Seeds; and the crippling lows of his battle with heroin. Capturing everything from Cave’s frenzied performances in Berlin to the tender moments he spent with love and muse Anita Lane, Kleist’s graphic biography, like Cave’s songs, is by turns electrifying, sentimental, morbid, and comic—but always engrossing.

Murder Ballads je název alba australské hudební skupiny Nick Cave amp; The Bad Seeds, které v roce 1996 vydala firma Mute Records. Jak už napovídá samotný název Murder Ballads (Vražedné balady), album tvoří 10 tradičních i zcela původních balad, které popisují různé druhy vražd a příhody, které jim předcházely. Celkový počet popisovaných smrtí na tomto albu je pak 65. Jedná se o nejprodávanější album této skupiny, čemuž značně dopomohl i klip k písni Where the Wild Roses Grow, který vysílala hudební televize MTV. Ta také ještě tentýž rok nominovala Nicka Cavea na zpěváka roku. Nominace byla později na Caveovu žádost stažena. Obsah: LP 1 A1. Song of Joy A2. Stagger Lee A3. Henry Lee -- Feat. Pj Harvey A4.

Audiokniha: Román rockové legendy Nicka Cavea, kde temnota potkává vykoupení Románový debut slavného australského hudebníka a zpěváka z roku 1989 v sobě spojuje tradice amerického blues, gospelu a rockové hudby. Autor dokáže čtenáře a nyní posluchače audioverze přivést do transu šamanskou silou vyprávění, ve kterém se spojuje bílá a černá magie, osobitá poetika plná romantických obrazů, biblických narážek morbidních představ, hrůzy i černočerného humoru s velkým čtenářským rozhledem. Hrdina příběhu Euchrid, geniální blázen, je vystaven vyvolávání démonů, bolesti a sadismu, až dojde k jeho osvícení prostřednictvím utrpení. Autor při tvorbě této knihy, tak jako hlavní hrdina, si navozoval extrémní duševní stavy, ale inspiroval se i temně romantickou francouzskou a americkou dekadentní literaturou. Barokně košatý drásající příběh je zasazen na americký jih 50. let, dominuje násilí, alkohol, zvrácenost a zvířecí instinkty. Četba z knihy vydané nakladatelstvím Argo v interpretaci Miloslava Königa souzní s autorovou děsivou zábavností a tragičností. Copyright © Nick Cave 1990; First published as And the Ass Saw the Angel in 1990 by Penguin General. Penguin General is part of the Penguin Random House group of companies.

Chlívák, cesťák a mrtvý muž Zajda Munro je proklet a odsouzen k odchodu z pozemského světa hned v první větě románu. Ne že by si v životě nestačil užít. Fantazie tohoto velkohubého, samolibého a uhrančivého dandyho je mírně omezená: představit si umí jedině vagínu, a hned nato si tiskne dlaň do rozkroku, aby si ulevil. Ženy hodnotí a svléká pohledem jako neúnavný rentgen a s většinou z nich je hotov si okamžitě na jakémkoli místě zašukat. Už jen to vypadá jako jeho hlavní neřest, ale kromě toho ještě žvaní, pije, kouří, řídí jako magor a občas si rád šlehne. Takový je život hlavního hrdiny Zajdy, obchodního cestujícího s kosmetickými přípravky v Brightonu a okolí, mistra ve svém oboru. Zajdovi juniorovi, druhému hrdinovi románu, který svého tátu miluje láskou bezpodmínečnou a nekritickou, je devět let. Dvojice Zajda a Zajda mladší není nepodobná otci a synovi z Cesty Cormaca McCarthyho a každopádně je stejně nezapomenutelná. I Zajda se synkem jsou na cestě a zažívají svého druhu apokalypsu, třebaže v caveovském hávu, tedy groteskně utopenou v spermatu, vodce Smirnoff, tabákovém kouři a koksu. Nick Cave je tu ve svém živlu, je to jeho knižní koncert par excelence, nezapře žádný ze svých atributů: je drzoun, komik, provokatér, sprosťák, patetik i moralista najednou. O největším hitu renomovaného britského nakladatelství Canongate na tento rok, prodanému do třiceti zemí světa, napsal Irvine Welsh: Kdyby orgasmy byly malé smrti, tak by nám bylo hned jasné, na co hlavní hrdina této knihy sejde ze světa. Smíchejte McCarthyho, Kafku a lidového komedianta, a vyjde vám Zajda Munro. Je to nenechavá četba nesoucí všechny známé Caveovy atributy: horor a lidství skryté pod tenkým povrchem ryčné a hravé odrhovačky.

Řada hudebníků v rozhovorech mluvívá o tom, že by jednou chtěli napsat román, že je to ohromně láká – nakonec se však k tomu nikdy nedostanou. Anebo si opravdu čas najdou a dají do psaní veškerou píli a trpělivost, pak se ovšem ukáže, že se krapet přecenili a že snad měli raději zůstat u písní… To ale není případ Nicka Cavea. Ve svém románovém debutu A uzřela oslice anděla z roku 1989 skvěle mísí vlastní osobitou poetiku, plnou romantických obrazů, biblických narážek, morbidních představ i černočerného humoru, s velkým čtenářským rozhledem (inspirací mu byla především americká jižanská literatura, Williamem Faulknerem či Flannery O’Connorovou počínaje a Cormacem McCarthym konče). Jeho barokně košatému, grotesknímu příběhu, zasazenému na americký Jih 40. a 50. let dvacátého století, dominuje násilí, alkohol, zvrácenost a zvířecí instinkty; nechybí ani Boží trest a ďábelský smích. V románu A uzřela oslice anděla, kongeniálně přeloženém Tomášem Hráchem, se zkrátka nic neodpouští a za vše se tvrdě platí. Román sklidil nadšený ohlas světové kritiky pro svůj jazyk plný biblických metafor a sevřený příběh vyprávěný na pomezí snu a šílenství.

Sons of Britches. The Great American Chuckwagon Dinner Show. The Haygoods. The Grand Jubilee. These are just a couple of the many shows performed in Branson, MO, a popular tourist destination that has played a role in the nation⠙s culture wars for over one hundred years.  Branson, Missouri, the Ozark Mountain mecca of wholesome entertainment, has been home to countless stage shows espousing patriotism and Christianity, welcoming over ten million visitors a year. Some consider it ⠜God⠙s Country⠝ and others ⠜as close to Hell as anything on Earth.⠝ For Joanna Dee Das, Branson is a political, religious, and cultural harbinger of a certain enduring dream of what America is. She takes Branson more seriously than the light-hearted fun it advertises⠔and maybe we should too.  For Das, Branson⠙s performers offer visions of the American Dream that embody a set of values known as the three Fs: faith, family, and flag. Branson boosters insist that these are universal values that welcome all people; the city aims to capture as many tourists as possible. But over the past several decades, faith, family, and flag have become markers of contemporary conservatism. The shows and culture of Branson, for all their fun and laughter, have been a galvanizing political force for white, working-and-middle class, Christian Americans. For social and economic conservatives alike, Branson is practically proof-of-concept for America as they want it to be.  Faith, Family, and Flag is a comprehensive history of the Branson entertainment industry, within the context of America⠙s long culture wars. Das reveals how and why a town known for popular entertainment, a domain associated most often with the political left (⠜Hollywood liberals⠝), came to be so important to the political right and its vision for America.

This is Christian hope: the certainty of walking towards something that exists, not something I hope might be there. In response to the devastating loss the world faced during the pandemic, Pope Francis was inspired to write a book to help people find hope and meaning. God is joyful, he writes. And God s compassion is no less than the deepest expression of God s joy, and the heart of all Christian preaching. The liberating revolution of the Gospel is encapsulated here. We are not supposed to carry burdens heavier than those we already have, but to bear witness to a new, beautiful and surprising horizon: to share a joy that has been prepared for everyone. From the anxieties of the age to the importance of nature, A Gift of Joy and Hope encourages readers to look outside themselves to embrace authentic beauty, change attitudes that exclude others, overcome life s challenges with courage and, trust that joy and hope are still possible, even in challenging times; for joy has the last word - always.

In 1381, a large army of people marched through the south-east of England to London, demanding an end to unfair taxation and threatening the rule of the boy-king, Richard II. During the eighteenth century, food riots, riots in protest at land enclosure, and riots targeting religious groups and foreigners regularly occurred. In the following century, mass gatherings demanded reform of the electoral system which allowed only a tiny proportion of the population to vote. In the early twentieth century, suffragettes chained themselves to railings, took part in huge demonstrations and endured prison sentences in pursuit of the vote for women. Recent decades have seen tens of thousands of people take to the streets of London and other cities to protest against the Iraq War and, in the last year, the war in Gaza. The only power otherwise powerless people possess lies in their numbers. Riots and Rebels is an examination of how they have exercised that power over the centuries and how governments have reacted to it. From the so-called Peasants Revolt to Just Stop Oil, via the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780, Luddites breaking machinery which threatened their livelihood, the infamous Peterloo Massacre of 1819, the Chartist demonstrations of the 1830s and 1840s, 1887 s Bloody Sunday and many other, often violent events, Nick Rennison provides a concise, compelling account of popular protest in Britain.

It is, rather, an attempt to cast a few shards of light on Nick Drake the poet, the musician, the singer, the friend, son and brother, who was also more than all of these. We hope it will accompany all those in search of an elusive artist, whose haunting presence defies analysis.The book contains:* In-depth interviews with many of Nick s friends, most notably Paul Wheeler, Nick s close friend from Cambridge days, a singer-songwriter who, of all Nick s friends, perhaps best understood, from personal experience, Nick s journey through musical creation to despair and back again.* A selection of photos from all eras - some never seen before - with reproductions of documents such as the scrapbook Molly Drake kept of her son s press cuttings, and the original and rejected album covers.* Images of Nick s handwritten and typed lyrics, including the lyrics of some songs for which the music has never been found.* Newly commissioned pieces by Nick s friends Jeremy Harmer, Brian Wells, Robin Frederick and the poet Will Stone. Contributions also from the sleeve designer Michael Trevithick, Island Records s Ann Sullivan and the photographer and artist Nigel Waymouth.*Extracts from Nick s letters - part of an extensive correspondence that exists between Nick and his parents, which charts their relationship from the time he first went to boarding school until the time he came home, when his depression had settled upon him and he felt he had nowhere else to go. From this point, Nick s life was documented by his father, Rodney Drake, who kept a detailed diary, as he and his wife Molly struggled to understand their son s state of mind and how to help him. Passages from this poignant record are included.* A short musical guide to each song s key and tuning to accompany the lyrics, together with an explanatory interpretation of Nick s guitar performance, the result of several years close study by singer-songwriter Chris Healey.* A comprehensive guide to all of Nick s live performances. * And a lengthy essay by noted music critic Pete Paphides, which includes interviews with Nick s musical collaborators and friends - his producer Joe Boyd, his recording engineer John Wood and his orchestrator, the late Robert Kirby - as well as descriptions of the recording process of each album.
