Pakáž - Monika Helferová

Proč Josef nikdy nepromluvil se svou dcerou? Uznávaná rakouská autorka Monika Helferová se v románovém zpracování vrací k vlastním kořenům a zkoumá detaily zásadních událostí, jež předcházely narození její matky, "spratka". Matčino početí provázely neurčité okolnosti, které způsobily, že ji otec absolutně ignoroval, nezajímal se o ni, nikdy v životě se na ni ani nepodíval. Autorka rekonstruuje osud prarodičů Josefa a krásné Marie na pozadí první světové války, kdy se svými dětmi živoří na venkově na okraji společnosti. Když je Josef odveden do armády, Maria a děti se stávají závislými na ochraně starosty. Do kraje přijíždí okouzlující cizinec Georg, který jednoho dne bez pozvání zaklepe na dveře "pakáže". Helferová si všímá morálních hodnot doby, jež různé postavy jejího vyprávění různě vnímaly a interpretovaly, a poukazuje na vliv minulosti na budoucnost každého člověka. Z vlastních vzpomínek a z vyprávění příbuzných skládá ztracený svět zapadlé horské vesnice na počátku 20. století a podmanivým jazykem poodhaluje jedno rodinné tajemství.

The second volume in Monika Helfer's internationally bestselling wartime trilogy, based on the history of her own family. 'We called him Vati, Dad. Not Father, not Papa. That's what he wanted. He thought it sounded modern. He wanted to present himself to us, and through us, as a man in tune with the modern age. Though he seemed to come from nowhere.' Josef was an illegitimate child, a charity case from Salzburg, schooled by a benefactor. He was drafted to fight in the Second World War while still at school and sent to Russia, returning with only one leg. He married his nurse, and brought his family to the high, idyllic slopes of the Austrian Alps, where he took a position as manager of a home for injured soldiers, a strangely suspended, deeply isolated place with a remarkable library. He was a man of many mysteries. To his daughter, Monika, none was greater than his obsession with these cloistered, crumbling books, his great treasure and secret amidst a country barrelling away from the memory of war.

The Mountain - Robin Patten

Exploring the complex kinship between mountains and human thought, traditions, and ways of being Since antiquity, mountains have captured the human imagination. The Mountain takes readers into higher realms, exploring the complex kinship between mountains and human thought, traditions, and ways of being. Told through the author’s own journeys, the narrative ranges across cultures and iconic naturalists to consider how varied ideas and experiences related to mountains—from sacred to scientific, romantic to retreat, to simply home—are all facets of the same intricate topography. No matter where one starts on the spectrum of understanding, an intimate encounter with a mountain leads to a broader perspective. High places create a simultaneous humbleness at our human insignificance and a sense of belonging within the greater world. That quality of belonging, and the associated commitment of caring for the planet and all that it holds, has never been more important than it is today.

The Painted House of Maud Lewis - Laurie Hamilton

For many years, Maud Lewis was one of Nova Scotia''s best-loved folk painters. In the 1990s she was embraced by the rest of the country when the landmark exhibition of her work The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis travelled across Canada. By the time the tour was over, half a million people had become acquainted with her delightful work. Between 1938, when she married Everett Lewis, until her death in 1970, Maud Lewis lived in a tiny one-room house near Digby, Nova Scotia. Over the years, she painted the doors inside and out, the windowpanes, the walls and cupboards, the wallpaper, the little staircase to the sleeping loft, the woodstove, the breadbox, the dustpan, almost everything her hand touched. Her house was a joy to behold, and it became a magnet for tourists as well as a focal point in her village. In 1979, after Everett Lewis died, the Maud Lewis Painted House Society worked diligently to raise funds to acquire, preserve, and display the house as part of the cultural heritage of the area as well as a memorial to their beloved artist. In 1984, the house and its contents were purchased by the Province of Nova Scotia for ... Unknown localization key: "more"
