eBook: Rivers of Babylon je naprosto zásadním dílem československé polistopadové literatury, které právě vychází poprvé v českém překladu. Slovenský autor Peter Pišťanek v něm rozehráva barevnou mozaiku postav a postaviček, které dávno před nástupem dravého kapitalismu devadesátých let vpluly ničím nevarovány do rozbouřených vod naší nedávné minulosti a naprosto přesně v knize předpovědel československou realitu, jež se v plné nahotě vynořila o několik let později. Pišťanek býva přirovnáván ke „slovenskému Vieweghovi", ale to jenom z jednoho prostého důvodu - není v Česku zatím tak známý, jak by si zasloužil. Jeho knihy mají s ničím neporovnatelný, fantastický a přitom plně uvěřitelný děj. Při jejich čtení má člověk pocit, že se právě nachází uprostřed všeho toho reje a není rušen neustále se vynořujícími otázkami, zda to, či ono není příliš vyumělkované a zda to, či ono do knihy patří, nebo ne. Příběhy plynou přímo před očima, postavy se z nich vynořují naprosto hmatatelně. Rivers of Babylon je kniha, která se čte doslova jedním dechem. V roce 2008 vyšla v USA v anglickém překladu a kritika (m.j. prestižní The Times) ji zařadila mezi nejlepší středoevropská překladová díla. Pokud existuje na Slovensku kultovní autor polistopadové literatury, je jím právě Peter Pišťanek. Svou nelítostnou kritikou porevolučních poměrů v zemi, neobyčejně ostrým pozorovacím talentem a hlavně svou schopností věci, charaktery a příběhy poutavě převézt do mimořádně čtivé literatury nemá na Slovensku a dost možná ani v Česku obdoby. Prakticky každá jeho kniha se stala okamžitě bestsellerem a legendární trilogie Rivers of Babylon se dočkala několika vydání i filmového zpracování. Film Muzika v režii Juraje Nvoty podle jeho stejnojmenné knihy, měl Čechách i na Slovensku premiéru v roce 2008. Peter Pišťanek se narodil v roce 1960 a doposud napsal tucet knih (románů, povídkových sbírek, esejů a publicistických črt).

eBook: Rivers of Babylon II. je volným pokračováním úspěšného románu Petera Pišťanka. Autor v něm svým nezaměnitelným stylem rozvíjí osudy postav knihy Rivers of Babylon I. a zároveň se děj prolíná s postavami z knihy Muzika (Kniha Zlín, 2009), která je u nás rovněž dobře známá a podle níž byl na Slovensku natočen i stejnojmenný celovečerní film. Pojďte tedy sledovat další osudy hrdinů románu – postav a postaviček z temného polosvěta velkoměstského prostředí, kteří se významnou měrou podíleli na budování „kapitalismu a občanské společnosti“ v Československu 90. let.

Příběh osmiletého chlapce, jehož rodiče se nevrátí z návštěvy Vídně, a on proto vyrůstá u svých prarodičů. Žije obklopen svými dětskými a dospělými přáteli i nepřáteli v téměř magickém prostředí Staré Vsi, v navenek idylickém pohraničí. Děj knihy se odehrává v polovině šedesátých let minulého století a hlavní hrdina prožívá svá dětská dobrodružství a přitom se učí i něco o životě, o jeho kráse i těžkosti. To, že jsou jeho rodiče relativně blízko, a přitom beznadějně daleko, dodává jímavému příběhu zajímavý paradox, který se chlapec ve své dětské naivitě rozhodne vyřešit tak radikálně, jak to jen zvládne. Podle knihy byl natočen film Jak jsme hráli čáru.

Príbeh osemročného chlapca, ktorého rodičia sa nevrátili z návštevy Viedne späť za železnú oponu, a preto vyrastá u svojich starých rodičov. Žije obklopený svojimi detskými a dospelými priateľmi i nepriateľmi v takmer magickom prostredí Starej Vsi, navonok idylickej pohraničnej obce. Dej sa odohráva v polovici šesťdesiatych rokov minulého storočia a hlavný hrdina prežíva svoje detské dobrodružstvá, stvára bežné chlapčenské pestvá a popritom sa dozvedá aj niečo o živote, o jeho kráse i ťarche. To, že jeho rodičia sú relatívne blízko, a pritom beznádejne ďaleko, dodáva chlapcovmu príbehu zaujímavý paradox, ktorý sa vo svojej detskej naivite nakoniec rozhodne vyriešiť tak radikálne, ako len vie. Premiéra rovnomenného filmu v réžii Juraja Nvotu bude už túto zimu.

Rivers of Babylon 2 alebo Drevená dedina je voľné pokračovanie debutového románu Petra Pišťanka. Autor v ňom predviedol to, čo sa už v náznakoch dalo zistiť v jeho predchádzajúcej tvorbe – motivické, no najmä personálne prepájanie jednotlivých príbehov samostatných textov. Rivers of Babylon 2 nie je len pokračovaním a rozvíjaním osudov hrdinov prvého autorovho románu, ale zároveň nadväzuje aj na novelu Muzika z knižky Mladý Dônč. Do popredia sa dostáva jej hlavný hrdina Martin Junec, no i postavy, ktoré mali v prvej časti len epizódny charakter. Ústredný protagonista z prvého románu Rácz sa tu už iba mihne....

Pán Hronu je zbierka poviedok, ktoré sám autor považoval za navždy stratené. Štyri roky po jeho smrti sa vynorili, aby poskytli svedectvo o jeho začiatkoch. Dvadsaťdvaročný Peter Pišťanek ich posielal vo svojich listoch z vojenčiny a parodoval v nich postupy schematického socialistického realizmu. Okrem 16 nájdených a doteraz neuverejnených poviedok zbierka obsahuje aj text Dušana Taragela. Zaznamenáva život Petra Pišťanka v rokoch 1979 až 1982, jeho cestu k písaniu, životné peripetie po vyhodení z gymnázia, odchod na vojenčinu a návrat z nej. Všetko vyrozprávané podľa jeho listov z vojenčiny a fotografií. Publikáciu z verejných zdrojov podporil Fond na podporu umenia.

Monografia literárneho vedca Petra Darovca predstavuje Petra Pišťanka ako prelomového autora deväťdesiatych rokov 20. storočia, ktorý slovenskej literatúre otvoril celkom nový svet mafiánov a prostitútok, ich životný štýl a prejavy správania vrátane poklesnutého jazyka. S nadhľadom a bez moralizovania písal o ľudskej povrchnosti, duchovnej vyprázdnenosti a intelektuálnej lenivosti, ale aj o manipulačných technikách moci. Mal a dodnes má veľa nasledovníkov, ale iba on dokázal spraviť z nízkej porevolučnej reality vysokú umeleckú literatúru.

More than twenty years after teaching English to China''s first boom generation at a small college in Sichuan Province, Peter Hessler returned to teach the next generation. At the same time, Hessler''s twin daughters became the only Westerners in a student body of about two thousand in their local primary school. Through reconnecting with his previous students now in their forties - members of China''s "Reform generation" - and teaching his current undergraduates, Hessler is able to tell an intimately unique story about China''s incredible transformation over the past quarter-century.In the late 1990s, almost all of Hessler''s students were the first of their families to enrol in higher education, sons and daughters of subsistence farmers who could offer little guidance as their children entered a brand-new world. By 2019, when Hessler arrived at Sichuan University, he found a very different China and a new kind of student - an only child whose schooling was the object of intense focus from a much more ambitious and sophisticated cohort of parents. Hessler''s new students have a sense of irony about the regime but mostly navigate its restrictions with equanimity, and embrace the astonishing new opportunities China''s boom affords. But the pressures of this system of extreme ''meritocracy'' at scale can be gruesome, even for much younger children, including his own daughters, who give him a first-hand view of raising a child in China.In Peter Hessler''s hands, China''s education system is the perfect vehicle for examining what''s happened to the country, where it''s going, and what we can learn from it. At a time when relations between the UK and China fracture, Other Rivers is a tremendous, indeed an essential gift, a work of enormous human empathy that rejects cheap stereotypes and shows us China from the inside out and the bottom up, using as a measuring stick this most universally relatable set of experiences. As both a window onto China and a distant mirror onto our own education system, Other Rivers is a classic, a book of tremendous value and compelling human interest.

The untold story of Britain’s role in the Israel–Palestine conflict‘The work of a lifetime, a forensic, fair-minded examination of the Hussein–McMahon correspondence that exposes how the British government broke its promises to the people of Palestine.’ The Times Literary Supplement, Books of the Year This is the untold story of Britain’s role in the Israel–Palestine conflict. During the First World War, the British High Commissioner in Egypt reached a secret agreement with the Sharif of Mecca. If the Sharif allied with Britain against the Ottomans, after the war an independent Arab state that included Palestine would be established. The Sharif kept his word. The British did not. Instead, two years later Lloyd George’s government declared that Palestine would be for the global Jewish community. Through meticulous analysis of official records and private papers, Peter Shambrook exposes how Britain came to betray the Arabs. He debunks the myth that Palestine was never part of the lands guaranteed to the Sharif and details the attempts of successive British governments to prevent the truth from ever becoming public. For anyone interested in the history of the Israel–Palestine conflict, this is a must-read.

How do the experiences of the first pilgrims to Jerusalem, Mecca and Santiago de Compostela compare to the millions of people who embark upon life-changing physical and spiritual journeys today? And why do we still feel compelled to walk, stop and think about our lives? Pilgrimage explores sacred landscapes across the world, the 88 temples on the island of Shikoku in Japan, to the monolithic rock-cut churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia and the riverbanks of the Kumbh Mela in India. These journeys are to places of healing and reflection, but also to sites of danger and even violence, at crossroads where different political and religious tensions meet. While pilgrimage is viewed as an escape from the everyday to refocus the mind and soul, struggles for power and social upheaval have always had an impact on the way pilgrims experience their own personal journey. Peter Stanford guides us through the history of pilgrimage, its meanings and experiences today, as a new generation seeking solace, clarity and wonder follow in the footsteps of travellers from the past.

A remarkable study in social and cultural change that explains how and why the Late Antique world, between c. 150 and c. 750 AD, came to differ from 'Classical civilization'. The first century AD was one of momentous events: the end of the Roman empire, the rise of Christianity across western Europe and the disappearance of Persia from the Near East; an era in which the most deep-rooted of ancient institutions disappeared for all time creating divergent legacies which are still present. Renowned historian Peter Brown examines these changes and the reactions to them, to show that the period of Late Antiquity was one of outstanding new beginnings and far-reaching impacts. The result is a lucid answer to a crucial question in world history; how the exceptionally homogenous Mediterranean world of the first century AD became divided into the three mutually estranged societies of the Middle Ages: Catholic Western Europe, Byzantium and the Islamic world. Brown's remarkable study in social and cultural transformation explains how and why the Late Antique world, came to differ from the 'Classical civilization' of the Greeks and Romans. Featuring a new preface and updated with colour illustrations throughout, The World of Late Antiquity demonstrates that we still have much to learn from this enduring and intriguing period of history.

'A fascinating story about a religion in a surprisingly precarious position' Dan Jones, Sunday Times'Superb storytelling ... captivating and profound' Literary Review'A page-turner' The SpectatorIn the fourth century AD, a new faith exploded out of Palestine. Overwhelming the paganism of Rome, and converting the Emperor Constantine in the process, it resoundingly defeated a host of other rivals.Almost a thousand years later, all of Europe was controlled by Christian rulers, and the religion, ingrained within culture and society, exercised a monolithic hold over its population. But, as Peter Heather shows in this compelling history, there was nothing inevitable about Christendom's rise to Europe-wide dominance. In exploring how the Christian religion became such a defining feature of the European landscape, and how a small sect of isolated congregations was transformed into a mass movement centrally directed from Rome, Heather shows how Christendom constantly battled against both so-called 'heresies' and other forms of belief.From the crisis that followed the collapse of the Roman Empire, which left the religion teetering on the edge of extinction, to the astonishing revolution in which the Papacy emerged as the head of a vast international corporation, Heather traces Christendom's chameleon-like capacity for self-reinvention and willingness to mobilize well-directed force. Christendom's achievement was not, or not only, to define official Christianity, but - from its scholars and its lawyers, to its provincial officials and missionaries in far-flung corners of the continent - to transform it into an institution that wielded effective religious authority across nearly all of the disparate peoples of medieval Europe. This is its extraordinary story.
