Víra, naděje a masakr - Nick Cave, Seán O‘Hagan
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."

Faith, Hope and Mischief - Andrew Graystone
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 ’I’ll watch while you pray’. 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 world’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.

Comfort Eating With Nick Cave - Joshua Ploeg, Automne Zingg
Life is hard for him and there are many hurdles to deal with every day. And like all of us, Nick is human. In these pages, Mr. Cave finds healthy ways to feed his sorrows, with gusto, whether he''s eating a giant bowl of mashed potatoes, a tofu dog, peanut butter from the jar, spicy potato chips, or licking the frosting bowl. ''Get inside of me,'' he passionately tells a slice of pizza. And when you are ready to enter his psyche, there''s Nick''s favorite Rice Krispies Treats recipe to get inside of you, including, of course, ''twelve tears for flavor.'' No matter what he''s chowing down on, it''s comforting to witness Nick and his comforts. We all know someone who needs the comforts of Nick Cave as much as they need Comfort Eating with Nick Cave. So the next time they are sobbing to Dumb and Dumber or Scream 2 with a container of chocolate chip cookie dough soy ice cream in their lap, hand them a copy of this cookbook and we''ll all shed a tear together.

Nick Cave: Mercy on Me - Reinhard Kleist
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.

Celkový počet popisovaných smrtí na tomto albu je pak 65.

A uzřela oslice anděla - Nick Cave - audiokniha
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.

Smrt Zajdy Munroa - Nick Cave
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.

A uzřela oslice anděla - Nick Cave
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.

Faith, Family, and Flag - Joanna Dee Das
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 ...

Charles Dickens and Prince. Two wildly different artists who caught fire and lit up the world in ways no others could. Where did their magic come from? How did they work so hard and produce so much?

How did they use it, and did it kill them?With wit, curiosity and deep admiration Nick Hornby traces their extraordinary lives - from their difficult beginnings to the women they fell for to their limitless energy for work, to their money and the movies - and brilliantly illuminates their very particular kind of genius.''I love this.

A Gift of Joy and Hope - Pope Francis
''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.

Riots and Rebels - Nick Rennison
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 ...

Rock and Rhapsodies - Nick Braae
Since 1973, Queen have captivated listeners through the intense sonic palette of voices and guitars, the sprawling and epic journeys of songs, and charismatic splendour of their live performances. Rock and Rhapsodies is the first book to undertake a musicological study of the band''s output, with a fundamental aim of discovering what, exactly, gave Queen''s songs their magical and distinct musical identity. Focusing on the material written, recorded, and released between 1973 and 1991, author Nick Braae provides readers with an in-depth and nuanced analytical account of the group''s individual musical style (or "idiolect"), and illuminates the multifaceted stylistic and historical contexts in which Queen''s music was created. Aspects of Queen''s songs are also used as a springboard for exploring a range of further analytical and discursive issues: the nature of a musical style; the conceptual relationship between an artist, style, and genre; form in popular songs; and the character and identity of a singing voice. Following an introduction and "primer" on Queen''s idiolect, Rock and Rhapsodies presents ten further chapters, each of which offers a snapshot of a particular musical element (form, the voice), a particular subset of repertoire (Freddie Mercury''s large-scale 1970s songs), or a particular era (post-1991), ...

Cannibals and Carnage - Graham Faiella
In the nineteenth century true stories of cannibal tribes massacring white traders (and vice versa) and missionaries fed the morbid appetites of Europeans, North Americans and colonials. Accounts of cannibalism committed by seafarers on their dead shipmates quickened the pulses of landfolk even more, and pricked their moral disquiet. Acts of desperate men committing unspeakable atrocities. The warring frenzy of cannibal headhunters and their gruesome feasting. Such was the stuff of real-life ‘sixpenny romances’, rich in human butchery and garnished with treachery and terror. The more atrocious the at rocities, the more exotic the locations; the more sensational the narratives, the greater was the thrall of these thrilling tales of the sea.
