Kniha - autor Misa Sugiura, 352 stran, anglicky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá This delightfully disastrous queer YA rom-com is a perfect read for fans of Jenny Han, Morgan Matson, and Sandhya Menon. When Nozomi Nagai pictured the ideal summer romance, a fake one wasn’t what she had in mind. That was before she met the perfect girl. Willow is gorgeous, glamorous, and…heartbroken? And when she enlists Nozomi to pose as her new girlfriend to make her ex jealous, Nozomi is a willing volunteer. Because Nozomi has a master plan of her own: one to show Willow she’s better than a stand-in, and turn their fauxmance into something real. But as the lies pile up, it’s not long before Nozomi’s schemes take a turn toward disaster…and maybe a chance at love she didn’t plan for.

Kniha - autor Jhumpa Lahiri, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná In Other Words is at heart a love story: that of a writer for another language. For Jhumpa Lahiri, that love was for Italian, which captivated and capsized her during a trip to Florence after college. In 2012 she decided to move to Rome with her family, for 'a trial by fire, a sort of baptism' into a new language and world. Presented in a dual-language format, In Other Words is a book about exile, linguistic and otherwise, written with an intensity and clarity not seen since Nabokov. It is a surprising, powerful and eloquent book.

By Any Other Name - Jodi Picoultová

There was once a girl who became invisible in order that her words may not be...In 1581, Emilia Bassano is allowed no voice of her own. But as the Lord Chamberlain's mistress she has access to the theatre, and finds a way to bring her work to the stage secretly. And yet, creating some of the world's greatest dramatic masterpieces comes at a great cost: by paying a man for the use of his name, she will write her own out of history.In modern day New York, playwright Melina Green is determined to see one of her shows make the stage.After years of struggle to be recognised she has finally written again, inspired by the life of her Elizabethan ancestor - Emilia Bassano, England's first published female poet. Although the challenges are different for her, four hundred years later, it is still not a level playing field for women in the arts. But what lengths will she be willing to go to in order to achieve her dreams?Moving between Elizabethan England and modern day Manhattan, By Any Other Name is a beautifully written, compelling novel that explores the theme of identity and the ways in which two women, centuries apart-one of whom might just be the real author of Shakespeare's plays-are both forced to hide behind another name to make their voices heard.

New Dress and Other Stories - Virginia Woolfová

As Mabel Waring takes off her cloak and steps into the drawing room of Clarissa Dalloway, she immediately realizes that something is not right: her pale-yellow silk dress, which she has had specially made for the occasion, is clearly old-fashioned, dowdy and out of place. Everyone seems to be looking at her in dismay or mocking her appearance. Crushed at once by her insecurity, Mabel is pervaded by a sense of selfloathing, and feels utter revulsion for the social world she has tried so hard to impress.Written in 1924 and perhaps intended for inclusion in Mrs Dalloway, a book Woolf was working on at the time, The New Dress is here accompanied by most of the short stories she published in her lifetime, as well as six posthumously published pieces that share the milieu and some of the characters of her celebrated novel. Together, they reveal their author as one of the finest practitioners in the field of short fiction.

Diaboliad and Other Stories: New Translation - Michail Bulgakov

In Bulgakov's 'Diaboliad', the modest and unassuming office clerk Korotkov is summarily sacked for a trifling error from his job at the Main Central Depot of Match Materials, and tries to seek out his newly assigned superior, responsible for his dismissal. His quest through the labyrinth of Soviet bureaucracy takes on the increasingly surreal dimensions of a nightmare. This early satirical story, reminiscent of Gogol and Dostoevsky, was first published in 1924 and incurred the wrath of pro-Soviet critics.Along with the three other stories in this volume, which also explore the themes of the absurd and bizarre, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the artistic development of the author of The Master and Margarita.

V roce 2018 byla kolekce remasterována přímo Kate Bush a Jamesem Guthriem. Kate Bush patří k nejpozoruhodnějším ženám v hudební historii. V roce 1978, když jí bylo devatenáct let, okupovala čtyři týdny vrchol singlové hitparády v Anglii s debutovým singlem Wuthering Heights. Nikdy předtím se na první příčce neumístila zpěvačka, která by si píseň sama napsala. O dva roky později dobyla s deskou Never For Ever ostrovní albový žebříček a stala se první britskou sólovou interpretkou, které se to podařilo. Hned třináctkrát byla nominována...

Whisperer in Darkness and Other Tales - Howard P. Lovecraft

When strange things are reported to be floating in rivers in rural Vermont after a flood, old myths about hill-dwelling monsters who abduct humans resurface in subsequent debates, much to the annoyance of local academic Albert N. Wilmarth. However, when he starts receiving letters from a man named Henry Wentworth Akeley about the supposed presence near his farmhouse of an extraterrestrial race worshipping ancient cosmic deities, Wilmarth finds himself drawn into an astonishing correspondence that leads to a harrowing discovery.A seminal early contribution to the horror and science-fiction genres, 'The Whisperer in Darkness' is presented here, along with other classics from the Lovecraft canon - such as 'The Call of Cthulhu', 'The Shadow over Innsmouth', 'The Music of Erich Zann' and 'The Silver Key' - in a brand-new collection showcasing the finest tales from the twentieth century's foremost purveyor of terror.

The Brother of the Other - Radka Klvaňová - e-kniha

eBook: Kniha se věnuje kulturním procesům vyjednávání symbolických hranic přináležení v českém imigračním kontextu. Na základě kvalitativní analýzy biografických rozhovorů s přistěhovalci z Běloruska, Ukrajiny a Ruska žijících v České republice autorka zjišťuje, jak se utvářejí symbolické hranice přináležení skrze stigma v každodenních interakcích v sociálním a kulturním kontextu imigrace. Kniha si všímá rozporuplné kulturní reprezentace této skupiny migrantů v českém prostoru etnizovaných vztahů – zvláštního napětí mezi pozicí ‚Druhého‘ (‚Other) a ‚Bratra‘ (‚Brother‘) ve vztahu k Čechům. Toto napětí odráží minulé i současné procesy vytváření národa ve střední a východní Evropě, historické politické vztahy mezi socialistickým Československem a Sovětským svazem a migrační procesy v období po roce 1989. Kniha nabízí nový vhled do kulturního repertoáru českého imigračního kontextu a vyjednávání hranic češství.

The Machine Stops and Other Stories - E. M. Forster

A new selection of E. M. Forster's exquisite short stories, now in the beautifully designed Penguin English Library Series'We created the Machine, to do our will, but we cannot make it do our will now.It has robbed us of the sense of space and of the sense of touch, it has blurred every human relation and narrowed down love to a carnal act, it has paralyzed our bodies and our wills, and now it compels us to worship it.'Like his much-loved novels, E. M. Forster's short stories are rich in irony and alive with sharp observations on the surprises life holds.Telling tales of violent events, discomforting coincidences, and other disruptive happenings, his sharp and vivid prose has the ability to throw the characters', and reader's, perceptions and beliefs off balance. Selected to appeal to a new generation of readers around the world, this new selection of short stories in the Penguin English Library series celebrates E. M.Forster's unparalleled skill for storytelling, beginning with his masterful work of science fiction, The Machine Stops.

Great Gatsby and Other Classic Works - Francis Scott Fitzgerald

No writer portrayed America's Jazz Age as vividly as F. Scott Fitzgerald. In his effervescent tales of ingenues on the prowl for husbands, Ivy League heirs en route to futures of idle entitlement, and endless alcohol-fueled dance parties at ritzy country clubs, he limned a culture giddy with excess and as reckless as it was refined. Gifted with remarkable powers of observation and a witty way with words, Fitzgerald wrote stories that seem as fresh and modern today as they did when published a century ago. This Great Gatsby and Other Classic Works features Fitzgerald's first two published novels-This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and Damned-and 19 short stories, including the classics "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." The volume also includes Fitzgerald's landmark short novel The Great Gatsby. First published in 1925, this tale of the enigmatic Jay Gatsby and his unrequited love for Daisy Buchanan has been read for decades as a parable about the American Dream. It is regarded as one of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century. This Great Gatsby and Other Classic Works is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed bonded-leather binding, with distinctive gilt edging and a ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for every home library.
