The Book of Disquiet - Fernando Pessoa
Fernando Pessoa s The Book of Disquiet is a modernist masterwork that has now taken on a similar iconic status to Ulysses, The Trial or In Search of Lost Time. This complete and unabridged edition â “ published in Penguin Modern Classics - is edited and translated with an introduction by Richard Zenith The best English-language version we are likely to see for a long time, if ever - The Guardian*Winner of the Calouste Gulbenkian Translation Prize for Portuguese Translation* Fernando Pessoa, strictly speaking, doesn t exist, - so claimed Alvaro de Campos, one of the heteronyms , fully-realised substitute personalities invented by Fernando Pessoa to spare himself the trouble of living real life. In this extraordinary book, the putative factless autobiography of an accountant named Bernardo Soares, Fernando Pessoa explores and dismantles the nature of memory, identity, time and narrative, creating one of the greatest - but also the strangest - modernist texts. An assembly of sometimes-linked fragments, The Book of Disquiet is a mesmerising, haunting novel without parallel in any other culture.This edition includes notes on the reconstruction of the text, appendices containing material omitted from the final version and letters which Pessoa intended to incorporate into the text. This edition also includes a table of the heteronyms used by Pessoa in his writing.Fernando Pessoa (1888â “ 1935) was born in Lisbon but went to live in Durban, South Africa, at the age of seven. He returned to Lisbon in 1905. A prolific writer who ascribed much of his work to a variety of personas, or heteronyms, Pessoa published relatively little of his vast output and supported himself by writing letters in English for importâ “ export firms. Although acknowledged as an intellectual and a poet, his literary genius went largely unrecognized until after his death.Richard Zenith lives in Lisbon, where he works as a freelance writer, researcher and translator. He has edited and translated many works by Fernando Pessoa, including A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe â “ Selected Poems. His Pessoa: An Experimental Life was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography.

The Book of Disquiet - Fernando Pessoa
The Book of Disquiet is one of the great literary works of the twentieth century. Written over the course of Fernando Pessoa s life, it was first published in 1982, pieced together from the thousands of individual manuscript pages left behind by Pessoa after his death in 1935. Now this fragmentary modernist masterpiece appears in a major new edition that unites Margaret Jull Costa s celebrated translation with the most complete version of the text ever produced. It is presented here, for the first time in English, by order of original composition, and accompanied by facsimiles of the original manuscript.Narrated principally by an assistant bookkeeper named Bernardo Soares - an alias of sorts for Pessoa himself - The Book of Disquiet is the autobiobraphy of someone who never existed , a mosaic of dreams, of hope and despair; a hymn to the streets and cafés of 1930s Lisbon, and an extraordinary record of the inner life of one of the century s most important writers. This new edition represents the most complete vision of Pessoa s genius.

Selected Poems - Fernando Pessoa
The writing of Fernando Pessoa reveals a mind shaken by intense inner suffering. In these poems he adopted four separate personae: Alberto Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis and himself, using them to express great swarms of thought and feeling . While each personae has its own poetic identity, together they convey a sense of ambivalence and consolidate a striving for completeness. Dramatic, lyrical, Christian, pagan, old and modern, Pessoa s poets and poetry contribute to the mysterious importance of existence .

Dopisy přátelství, lásky a magie - Fernando Pessoa
Fikce, mystifikace a paradoxy vyznačují literární dílo Portugalce Fernanda Pessoy (1888-1935), publikované až na výjimky teprve po autorově smrti. Dnes světově známý spisovatel se literárně představoval nejen pod svým jménem, ale zvláště v podobě imaginárních autorských osobností, obdařených originálním dílem. Sám o sobě tvrdil, že umělecky umí pouze lhát , ale náš výbor z několika okruhů Pessoovy korespondence z let 1913-1935 jej chce ukázat z jiné stránky než jen jako tvůrce roztříštěného ve slavných básnických a prozaických heteronymech (Álvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis, Alberto Caeiro, Bernardo Soares aj.) a jako někoho, kdo nikdy nebyl , totiž jako člověka zajímavého a mnohdy pohnutého osudu. Dopisy ze tří období a tří sfér jeho života přestupují nejistou hranici lži a pravdy a vytvářejí poutavé příběhy, prožité v prvních desetiletích dvacátého století.

Poslední tři dny Fernanda Pessoy - Antonio Tabucchi
Listopad 1935. Fernando Pessoa leží na smrtelné posteli v nemocnici Sao Luís dos Franceses. Tři dny agonie, během kterých, jako v deliriu, velký portugalský básník přijímá své heteronymy, mluví s nimi, stanovuje svá poslední přání a vede dialog s fantasmaty, která ho celý život provázela. Antonio Tabucchi nám vypráví biografický příběh (byť jde o imaginární biografii), ve kterém s jemností a vášní popisuje smrt jednoho z největších spisovatelů 20. století.

Pessoa - A Biography
Like Richard Ellmann’s James Joyce, Richard Zenith’s Pessoa immortalizes the life of one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers.Nearly a century after his wrenching death, the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935) remains one of our most enigmatic writers. Believing he could do “more in dreams than Napoleon,” yet haunted by the specter of hereditary madness, Pessoa invented dozens of alter egos, or “heteronyms,” under whose names he wrote in Portuguese, English, and French. Unsurprisingly, this “most multifarious of writers” (Guardian) has long eluded a definitive biographer―but in renowned translator and Pessoa scholar Richard Zenith, he has met his match.Relatively unknown in his lifetime, Pessoa was all but destined for literary oblivion when the arc of his afterlife bent, suddenly and improbably, toward greatness, with the discovery of some 25,000 unpublished papers left in a large, wooden trunk. Drawing on this vast archive of sources as well as on unpublished family letters, and skillfully setting the poet’s life against the nationalist currents of twentieth-century European history, Zenith at last reveals the true depths of Pessoa’s teeming imagination and literary genius.Much as Nobel laureate José Saramago brought a single heteronym to life in The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis, Zenith traces the backstories of virtually all of Pessoa’s imagined personalities, demonstrating how they were projections, spin-offs, or metamorphoses of Pessoa himself. A solitary man who had only one, ultimately platonic love affair, Pessoa used his and his heteronyms’ writings to explore questions of sexuality, to obsessively search after spiritual truth, and to try to chart a way forward for a benighted and politically agitated Portugal.Although he preferred the world of his mind, Pessoa was nonetheless a man of the places he inhabited, including not only Lisbon but also turn-of-the-century Durban, South Africa, where he spent nine years as a child. Zenith re-creates the drama of Pessoa’s adolescence―when the first heteronyms emerged―and his bumbling attempts to survive as a translator and publisher. Zenith introduces us, too, to Pessoa’s bohemian circle of friends, and to Ophelia Quieroz, with whom he exchanged numerous love letters. Pessoa reveals in equal force the poet’s unwavering commitment to defending homosexual writers whose books had been banned, as well as his courageous opposition to Salazar, the Portuguese dictator, toward the end of his life. In stunning, magisterial prose, Zenith contextualizes Pessoa’s posthumous literary achievements―especially his most renowned work, The Book of Disquiet.A modern literary masterpiece, Pessoa simultaneously immortalizes the life of a literary maestro and confirms the enduring power of Pessoa’s work to speak prophetically to the disconnectedness of our modern world.

From the Streets of Shaolin - S.H Fernando Jr.
This definitive biography of rap supergroup, Wu-Tang Clan, features decades of unpublished interviews and unparalleled access to members of the group and their associates.This is the definitive biography of rap supergroup and cultural icons, Wu-Tang Clan (WTC). Heralded as one of the most influential groups in modern music—hip hop or otherwise—WTC created a rap dynasty on the strength of seven gold and platinum albums that launched the careers of such famous rappers as RZA, GZA, Ol #39; Dirty Bastard, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and more. During the ‘90s, they ushered in a hip-hop renaissance, rescuing rap from the corporate suites and bringing it back to the gritty streets where it started. In the process they changed the way business was conducted in an industry known for exploiting artists. Creatively, Wu-Tang pushed the boundaries of the artform dedicating themselves to lyrical mastery and sonic innovation, and one would be hard pressed to find a group who #39;s had a bigger impact on the evolution of hip hop.S.H. Fernando Jr., a veteran music journalist who spent a significant amount of time with The Clan during their heyday of the ‘90s, has written extensively about the group for such publications as Rolling Stone, Vibe, and The Source. Over the years he has built up a formidable Wu-Tang archive that includes pages of unpublished interviews, videos of the group in action in the studio, and several notepads of accumulated memories and observations. Using such exclusive access as well as the wealth of open-source material, Fernando reconstructs the genesis and evolution of the group, delving into their unique ideology and range of influences, and detailing exactly how they changed the game and established a legacy that continues to this day. The book provides a startling portrait of overcoming adversity through self-empowerment and brotherhood, giving us unparalleled insights into what makes these nine young men from the ghetto tick. While celebrating the myriad accomplishments of The Clan, the book doesn #39;t shy away from controversy—we #39;re also privy to stories from their childhoods in the crack-infested hallways of Staten Island housing projects, stints in Rikers for gun possession, and million-dollar contracts that led to recklessness and drug overdoses (including Ol #39; Dirty Bastard #39;s untimely death). More than simply a history of a single group, this book tells the story of a musical and cultural shift that started on the streets of Shaolin (Staten Island) and quickly spread around the world.Biographies on such an influential outfit are surprisingly few, mostly focused on a single member of the group #39;s story. This book weaves together interviews from all the Clan members, as well as their friends, family and collaborators to create a compelling narrative and the most three-dimensional portrait of Wu-Tang to date. It also puts The Clan within a social, cultural, and historical perspective to fully appreciate their impact and understand how they have become the cultural icons they are today. Unique in its breadth, scope, and access, From The Streets of Shaolin is a must-have for fans of WTC and music bios in general.

A Slanting of the Sun: Stories - Donal Ryan
From the twice Man Booker longlisted author of From a Low and Quiet Sea Donal Ryan, one of our most remarkable writers, has produced a book of short stories of such visceral power that they hit you in the solar plexus. He deals with the dark side of modern Irish life and produces sentences of titanic impact. IRISH MAIL ON SUNDAYAn old man looks into the fearful eyes of a burglar left to guard him while his brother is beaten; an Irish priest in a war-torn Syrian town teaches its young men the art of hurling; the driver of a car which crashed, killing a teenage girl, forges a connection with the girl s mother; a squad of broken friends assemble to take revenge on a rapist; a young man sets off on his morning run, reflecting on the ruins of his relationship, but all is not as it seems.Donal Ryan s short stories pick up where his acclaimed novels The Spinning Heart and The Thing About December left off, dealing with the human cost of loneliness, isolation and displacement. Sometimes this is present in the ordinary, the mundane; sometimes it is triggered by a fateful encounter or a tragic decision. At the heart of these stories, crucially, is how people are drawn to each other and cling on to love, often in desperate circumstances.In haunting and often startling prose, Donal Ryan has captured the brutal beauty of the human heart in all its hopes and failings._________ Donal Ryan is a heartbreaker, his quicksilver prose laced with ... wistful rhythms ... These breathtaking stories explore human love against an uneasy landscape of violence and desperation... Donal finds hope in dark corners. DAILY MAIL Donal Ryan is a master of the magnetic first line ... His faithful subject is rural despair; the poetry of adversity, the baffling fortitude of intrinsically decent people ...

Almost every modern government claims to be democratic; but is democracy really the best way of organising our political life? Can we manage our own affairs at all? Should we even try? In the west, do we actually live in democracies? In this extraordinary book Alan Ryan engages with the great thinkers of the past to show us how vividly their ideas speak to us in today s uncertain world.ALAN RYAN was born in London in 1940 and taught for many years at Oxford, where he was a Fellow of New College and Reader in Politics. He was Professor of Politics at Princeton from 1988 to 1996, when he returned to Oxford to become Warden of New College and Professor of Political Theory until his retirement in 2009. His previous books include The Philosophy of John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russell: A Political Life and John Dewey and the High Tide of American Liberalism. He is a Fellow of the British Academy.Reviews of On Politics: An engaging and smart survey of major political thinkers ...

Safe - Jak zůstat v bezpečí v nebezpečném světě - Chris Ryan
V knize SAFE bývalý voják SAS Chris Ryan mluví o zkušenostech se zachováním osobní bezpečnosti, které získal v době své služby u Pluku SAS. Jeho kniha na příkladech skutečných teroristických útoků z poslední doby, jako byl pumový útok na fotbalovém stadionu v Manchesteru, útok autem a noži na Londýnském mostě, nebo střelba na pláži v Tunisku vysvětluje, jak se mají lidé zachovat, pokud se ocitnou v obdobných situacích. Čtenáři se dozvědí, co je třeba dělat pro to, aby zůstali v bezpečí v ulicích města, ve svém autě, při teroristických incidentech, v letadle, nebo při únosu. Moderní svět je plný všudypřítomných nebezpečí, která se neustále vyvíjejí. Tato kniha vám poradí, jak svými silami zajistíte bezpečí pro sebe i své blízké. Chris Ryan se narodil u Newcastlu v roce 1961. Do 22. Pluku SAS vstoupil v roce 1984. Během deseti let své služby se podílel na řadě bojových i utajovaných operací. Byl velitelem odstřelovačů v rámci protiteroristického týmu. Během První války v Perském zálivu byl jediným z osmičlenné jednotky, kterému se po neúspěšné akci podařilo uniknout z území Iráku. Tři jeho kolegové tehdy zahynuli, čtyři padli do zajetí. Chris Ryan byl oceněn Vojenskou medailí za nejdelší únik před nepřítelem v dějinách SAS.

Období hurikánů - Fernanda Melchorová
Šamanka je mrtvá. Někdo ji zavraždil. Nejde ovšem o to kdo, ale proč. Každý by si našel důvod - zpackaný potrat, peníze, drogy, ponížení, zoufalství. Příběhy obyvatel zapadlého městečka v karibské části Mexika jsou naléhavým a surovým svědectvím, které se z románu hrne a valí v proudu vulgarit, nářků a nadávek. Jako by všechny postavy chtěly do každé věty vmáčknout svou bolest, vztek a bezmoc vůči světu a zároveň se nechtěly vzdát své touhy po štěstí. Mexická spisovatelka Fernanda Melchorová tuto životní realitu dobře zná. Popisuje ji mnoho let jako novinářka - za své články získala cenu mexického PEN klubu. Zná ji i jako žena, která v karibské oblasti země vyrůstala. Kniha byla přeložena do několika evropských jazyků, německý překlad získal významné ocenění Internationaler Literaturpreis a v roce 2020 byla kniha nominována na Mezinárodní Bookerovu cenu.

This book sits on my bedside table STEVEN BARTLETT Some authors give advice. Ryan Holiday distills wisdom CAL NEWPORT Ryan Holiday is among the most psychologically wise writers I know ANGELA DUCKWORTHTo master anything, we must first master ourselves: our emotions, thoughts and actions. This ancient virtue of self-control is more essential than ever. In this bestselling book, Ryan Holiday makes the case for this essential virtue, and shows how to cultivate willpower, self-respect and focus. From Marcus Aurelius to Toni Morrison, Queen Elizabeth II to Martin Luther King Jr, history s greats have all understood the power of directing your habits and setting your limits. History s cautionary tales prove the same point, from catastrophic military overreaches to career-destroying habits: without self-discipline, we are lost before we can even begin. Self-discipline is the key to our greatest ambitions and simplest joys: this book will show you how to find it, apply it and reap the rewards.

Agile Strategy - Ralph Fernando
Agile Strategy is a practical guide for managers responsible for setting the strategic direction of their organisations in increasingly dynamic markets. Through its frameworks, tools and real-world examples, it explains how to transform business performance through greater organisational agility. LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION Why do we need a new book on strategy?The pace of change is increasing, and strategic management is not keeping up. More than one in four (28%) strategic initiatives fail to meet their original goals and business intent[1], with insufficient agility identified as one of the top three barriers to successful strategy implementation[2].The square peg of traditional strategy â ” vision, mission and blue-sky exercises; the separation of strategy from â œimplementationâ â ” no longer fits the round hole of increasingly dynamic markets. It is time for a new approach.How is Agile Strategy different?Agile Strategy distinguishes itself from other strategy and agile books currently available in that it is: Designed for large organisations: Much of the writing on agile techniques addresses start-ups or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which operate under very different constraints and freedoms. Agile Strategy is written for large organisations who want to be more agile. Commercially-led: The approach is not a lightly airbrushed business rewrite of agile software development practices, but rather a fundamental rethinking of commercial and operational business practices. Practical: It is anchored in innovative and robust concepts but designed as a practical â œhow-toâ guide: a book for practitioners, written by a practitioner. Results-focused: Whilst addressing a broad range of organisational topics, the book is grounded in the definition and delivery of measurable business benefits. Why should I read it?Agile Strategy offers four key benefits to its readers: A clear framework ( RADAR ) A single, easy-to-grasp guiding principle: The Horizon Measurable benefits A practical approach I hope you not only enjoy reading about this innovative new approach, but also go on to realise the full potential of your organisation by implementing it.

This is Not Miami - Fernanda Melchorová
Set in and around the city of Veracruz in Mexico, This Is Not Miami delivers a series of devastating stories ⠓ spiralling from real events ⠓ that bleed together reportage and the author⠙s rich and rigorous imagination.

As in her hugely acclaimed novels Hurricane Season and Paradais, and once again brilliantly translated by Sophie Hughes, Fernanda Melchor⠙s masterful stories show how the violent and shocking aberrations that make the headlines are only the surface ruptures of a society on the brink of chaos.

Hurricane Season - Fernanda Melchorová
The Witch is dead. After a group of children playing near the irrigation canals discover her decomposing corpse, the village of La Matosa is rife with rumours about how and why this murder occurred. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, Fernanda Melchor paints a moving portrait of lives governed by poverty and violence, machismo and misogyny, superstition and prejudice. Written with an infernal lyricism that is as affecting as it is enthralling, Hurricane Season, Melchor s first novel to appear in English, is a formidable portrait of Mexico and its demons, brilliantly translated by Sophie Hughes.
