Award-winning graphic novelist Peter Kuper presents a mesmerizing interpretation of fourteen iconic Kafka short stories. Long fascinated with the work of Franz Kafka, Peter Kuper began illustrating his stories in 1988. Initially drawn to the master's dark humor, Kuper adapted the stories over the years to plumb their deeper truths. Kuper's style deliberately evokes Lynd Ward and Frans Masereel, contemporaries of Kafka whose wordless novels captured much of the same claustrophobia and mania as Kafka's tales. Working from new translations of the classic texts, Kuper has reimagined these iconic stories for the twenty-first century, using setting and perspective to comment on contemporary issues like civil rights and homelessness. Longtime lovers of Kafka will appreciate Kuper's innovative interpretations, while Kafka novices will discover a haunting introduction to some of the great writer's most beguiling stories, including "A Hunger Artist," "In The Penal Colony," and "The Burrow." Kafkaesque stands somewhere between adaptation and wholly original creation, going beyond a simple illustration of Kafka's words to become a stunning work of art.

The first-ever exhibition curated by Peter Lindbergh himself, shortly before his untimely death, Untold Stories at the Dusseldorf Kunstpalast served as a blank canvas for the photographer's unrestrained vision and creativity. Given total artistic freedom, Lindbergh curated an uncomprimising collection that sheds an unexpected light on his colossal oeuvre. This book, the official companion to the landmark exhibition, offers an extensive, firsthand look at the highly personal collection.Renowned the world over, Lindbergh's images have left an indelible mark on contemporary culture and photo history. Here, the photographer experiments with his own oeuvre and narrates new stories while staying true to his lexicon. In both emblematic and never-before-seen images, he challenges his own icons and presents intimate moments shared with personalities who had been close to him for years, including Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Robin Wright, Jessica Chastain, Jeanne Moreau, Naomi Campbell, Charlotte Rampling and many more.This XL volume presents more than 150 photographs--many of them unpublished or short-lived, often having been commissioned by monthly fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Interview, Rolling Stone, W Magazine, or The Wall Street Journal. An extensive conversation between Lindbergh and Kunstpalast director Felix Kramer, as well as an homage by close friend Wim Wenders, offer fresh insights into the making of the collection. The result is an intimate personal statement by Lindbergh about his work.

A collection of brand-new short stories written by prize-winning, bestselling writers and inspired by Kafka - published to commemorate the centenary of his death*Chosen as a 2024 highlight in the Guardian, the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, New Statesman, Esquire and the New European*Franz Kafka is widely regarded as one of the great geniuses of twentieth-century literature. What happens when some of the most original literary minds of today take an idea, a mood or a line from his work and use it to spark something new?From a future society who ask their AI servants to construct a giant tower to reach God; to a flat hunt that descends into a comically absurd bureaucratic nightmare; to a population experiencing a wave of unbearable, contagious panic attacks, these ten specially commissioned stories are by turns mind-bending, funny, unsettling and haunting. Inspired by the visionary imagination of a writer working one hundred years ago, they speak powerfully to the strangeness of being alive today.

Set in a Lower East Side tenement in the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns, Fourteen Days is an irresistibly propulsive collaborative novel from the Authors Guild, with an unusual twist: each character in this diverse, eccentric cast of New York neighbors has been secretly written by a different, major literary voice—from Margaret Atwood and Celeste Ng to Tommy Orange and John Grisham. One week into the COVID-19 shutdown, tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants—some of whom have barely spoken to each other—become real neighbors. In this Decameron-like serial novel, general editors Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldn’t escape when the pandemic hit. A dazzling, heartwarming, and ultimately surprising narrative, Fourteen Days reveals how beneath the horrible loss and suffering, some communities managed to become stronger.

''Kuper is a shrewd observer [in] this entertaining mix of memoir and anthropology'' The Sunday TimesFrom the bestselling author of Chums comes an explorer''s tale of a naïf getting to understand a complex, glittering, beautiful and often cruel city. Simon Kuper has experienced Paris both as a human being and as a journalist. He has grown middle-aged there, eaten the croissants, taken his children to countless football matches on freezing Saturday mornings in the city''s notorious banlieues, and in 2015 lived through two terrorist attacks on his family''s neighbourhood. Over two decades of becoming something of a cantankerous Parisian himself, Kuper has watched the city change. This century, Paris has globalised, gentrified, and been shocked into realising its role as the crucible of civilisational conflict. Sometimes it''s a multicultural paradise, and sometimes it isn''t. This decade, Parisians have lived through a sequence of shocks: terrorist attacks, record floods and heatwaves, the burning of Notre Dame, the storming of the city by gilets jaunes, and the pandemic. Now, as the Olympics come to town, France is busy executing the ''Grand Paris'' project: the most serious attempt yet to knit together the bejewelled city with its neglected suburbs. This is a captivating memoir of today''s Paris without the clichés.

When a stressed-out Wolf tells his four-year-old daughter Nina that he can only spend ten more minutes reading her bedtime stories before getting back to work, she wishes that they could have a million minutes together 'on the really good things. Let's go so far away, until we have time,' she says.While Nina is physically disabled, Wolf feels that what really makes her different is her complete freedom of thought, uninhibited by political correctness and unlimited by the restrictions of 'reality'. As Wolf comes to understand the magnitude of his daughter's condition, he starts to reconsider what is most important in life. Despite a huge break-through in a profession he has worked so hard to make his mark on, he decides to step off the career ladder. Colleagues claim he is ruining his life, but Wolf slowly learns that fulfilling Nina's wish is worth much more than professional success. Wolf, his wife Vera, his son Simon and Nina spend a million minutes - two years - travelling through Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand, but the real journey is one of personal discovery. Wolf may have wanted the high-flying, well-paid career before Nina was born, but what does he want now? And what does it really mean to be rich, anyway? Nina's unique, frequently humorous world view teaches Wolf about the deeper meaning of life, and inspires him to question his values. What starts out as a simple experiment will forever change Wolf's family: what happens when people take a million minutes for each other?

Czech immigrants traveled to the unknown beyond the Atlantic in several waves. Some came to America in search of religious and political freedom, while others simply sought a better life in a country of great opportunities. Today we know that without their involvement, independent Czechoslovakia would hardly have come to exist, and without the assistance of the United States, the Czech lands would have twice recovered from totalitarianism only with great difficulty. In Bohemian Stories, Renáta Fučíková presents a graphic journey through the history of Czechs in the United States, capturing the bonds between the two countries through their lived experience. Short texts and vivid illustrations detail the fates of the cartographer Martin Bohemus, the rebel Vojta Náprstek, the Freethinker Ladimír Klácel; reveal the stories of politicians like Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Anton Čermák and Madeleine Albright; and celebrate the accomplishments of astronauts James Lovell, Eugen Cernan and John Blaha. Readers join the Czech immigrants as they settle the barren prairies of the Midwest and help build the streets and neighborhoods of Chicago and New York, and experience the success of artists and athletes who found a new home in the United States.

eBook: Před znetvořeným obličejem Alicie Bjelkeové couvne každý, kdo jí pohlédne do tváře. Její geniální mozek sice stojí za průkopnickou internetovou seznamkou, záře reflektorů je však namířena na její spoluzakladatelku – Alicinu krásnou sestru Stellu. Tedy až do chvíle, než ji jednoho dne naleznou mrtvou. Alicia se ocitne až na samém okraji propasti a brzy je jasné, že další obětí se má stát ona sama. Případ dostane na starost bývalý agent FBI John Adderley, který žije pod novou identitou ve švédském Karlstadu. I tady ho ovšem dohánějí stíny minulosti a on zjišťuje, že jestli Švédsko okamžitě neopustí, nevyvázne živý. Okolnosti se ale mění ze dne na den a nakonec mu nezbývá, než se namísto útěku s minulostí jednou provždy vypořádat. Vyšetřování vraždy se tedy ukáže jako nečekaně vítaná příležitost. Pokud svůj plán dokáže provést, má jedinečnou šanci konečně získat tolik vytouženou svobodu. Ale není už příliš pozdě? Spisovatelská dvojice Mohlin & Nyström, odměněná cenou CrimeTime Award, dokáže čtenáře napnout k prasknutí. Kolem psychologicky skvěle vykreslených postav spřádá vzrušující zápletku, z níž se vám bude tajit dech!

eBook: Jak se stalo, že si kluk z kodaňského paneláku řekl: Chci se stát šampionem Manchesteru United a Dánska, a dokázal to? Peter Schmeichel je fotbalový velikán, který získal více titulů v Premier League než kterýkoli jiný hráč na jeho pozici a byl kapitánem Manchesteru United při jedinečném, posledním vítězství nad Bayernem Mnichov ve finále Ligy mistrů v roce 1999. V knize nás zavede do pozoruhodného, vítězného prostředí klubu, který v 90. letech změnil fotbal, a na hřiště oné bláznivé, dechberoucí noci v Barceloně roku 1999. Od Fergusonova jedinečného nadání až po jedinečnou osobnost Erica Cantony přináší detailní a zasvěcený portrét zlaté éry United. Schmeichel má však za sebou také neuvěřitelný rodinný příběh, počínaje otcem Antonim, geniálním polským jazzovým hudebníkem, který bojoval s démony a po léta před svým okolím skrýval závažné tajemství. Mimoto Schmeichel ve svém životopise zkoumá, jaké dědictví zanechal svému synovi Kasperovi - jenž je sám vynikajícím brankářem Premier League a jedničkou dánské reprezentace. Číslo jedna je poutavý příběh o fotbale, původu, cestách a odkazu.

Audiokniha: Když se John probudí v nemocnici s rozsáhlými střelnými zraněními, ví, že z toho vyvázl lacino.John Adderley je tvrdý chlap – agent FBI, vlk samotář s vlastními metodami, který si svoje problémy nechává pro sebe. Jenže ten poslední se mu přeci jenom chystá přerůst přes hlavu. Zpackaný pokus infiltrovat drogový kartel skončil pistolí u hlavy, krvavou přestřelkou a přetrvávajícími záchvaty paniky. Do doby, než bude proti kartelu svědčit u soudu, je John umístěn do programu na ochranu svědků… ve svém rodném Švédsku.Z vlastní vůle nastupuje k jednotce pro vyšetřování odložených případů karlstadské policie, kde se ujímá deset let starého zmizení Emelie Bjurwallové, mladé dědičky oděvního řetězce. Jedinými stopami jsou krev a sperma nalezené na útesech za městem. Policie měla podezření na únos, a dokonce zatkla muže z chudší části města, ale protože se nikdy nepodařilo najít Emeliino tělo, museli ho propustit.Aby případ vyřešil, musí John nejen vykopat hned několik karlstadských kostlivců a manévrovat mezi novými nadřízenými a kolegy, ale také přehodnotit svůj přístup, protože jak se zdá, nekonvenční metody možná přinášely ovoce ve Spojených státech, ale tohle je Švédsko. A aby toho nebylo málo, na scénu vstupuje ještě Johnův odcizený bratr.To vše, zatímco se mu kolem krku stahuje oprátka upletená nepřáteli zpoza Atlantiku.Na jeho hlavu totiž byla vypsána odměna.A trestem za zradu kartelu je smrt.
