Životopis poslednej veľkej legendy svetovej literatúry 20. storočia Gabriela Garcíu Márqueza je jedinečným dielom a diele jedinečného spisovateľa. Jeho autor, anglický literárny historik a jeden z najuznávanejších znalcov latinskoamerickej literatúry Gerald Martin, ho písal takmer sedemnásť rokov. Podarilo sa mu vytvoriť životopisné a literárnohistorické dielo, ktoré nemá čo do biografického rozsahu a analytickej hĺbky vo svojej kategórii obdobu. Sám veľký spisovateľ Martinovo dielo verejnej označil za svoj prvý "tolerovaný" autorizovaný životopis. To výrazne vyčleňuje túto knihu z množstva literatúry všetkých žánrov, ktorá bola o geniálnom kolumbijskom spisovateľovi a jeho diele doposiaľ napísaná. Martinova kniha je originálnou a obdivuhodne vyváženou syntézou množstva doposiaľ neznámych a nespracovaných biografických faktov a údajov z Márquezovho života s hlbokou a zasvätenou literárnohistorickou analýzou spisovateľovho diela. Je písaná elegantným, no súčasne pútavým štýlom, ktorý prevedie čitateľa magickým labyrintom Márquezovho života a odkrýva jeho dielo v neznámych - a prekvapujúcich! - vzťahoch a súvislostiach.

Román, jedno z nejvýznamnějších děl latinskoamerické i světové prózy, vyšel poprvé r. 1967. V množství reálných i fantaskních epizod líčí osudy šesti generací rodiny Buendíů žijících ve fiktivním tropickém městečku Macondo. Dá se číst jako historická zpráva o vývoji jihoamerického kontinentu od doby osvobození a začátku občanských válek (1830-1902) až po nástup severoamerického imperialismu (1899-1930) i jako symbolický popis samoty člověka, který ztratil harmonický vztah ke světu. Individuální samotu, jíž trpí všichni obyvatelé Maconda, lze překonat pouze láskou a mezilidskou solidaritou, která jediná může zabránit nevyhnutelné zkáze.

Audiokniha: Román Sto rokov samoty je považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a svetovej literatúry. Prvý krát vyšiel v roku 1967 a odvtedy bol preložený do viac ako 37 jazykov. Nápad na jeho napísanie sa zrodil v januári 1965, keď Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na dovolenku do Acapulca. Začul vravu mestečka Macondo a hneď vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný. Tento magický príbeh je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj fantazijných epizód. Rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka Macondo. Napriek tomu, že je Macondo len veľká osada obkolesená horami má svoje vojny, katastrofy aj svoje zázraky. V jej histórii, raste a úpadku je možné vidieť celú Latinskú Ameriku. Román Sto rokov samoty, ktorý spája politickú realitu s magickým realizmom, je jedným z najslávnejších a najodvážnejších románov 20. storočia. Audioknihu z verejných zdrojov podporil Fond na podporu umenia. "Svet bol taký mladý, že veľa vecí ešte nemalo ani len meno, a kto chcel o nich rozprávať, musel na ne ukázať prstom."

Známá novela vyšla poprvé časopisecky roku 1958 a knižně o tři roky později. Místem děje navazuje na Všechnu špínu světa, objevuje se tu však odlišná perspektiva vypravěče: zatímco v předešlém díle je fiktivní svět Maconda popisován zvnitřku, v Plukovníkovi je líčen zvnějšku, jakoby objektivním vypravěčem. Přestože v novele realismus na první pohled dominuje, nacházíme tu reálné i fantastické prvky pospolu podobně jako autorovy charakteristické motivy. Život plukovníka, bývalého bojovníka z občanské války, je vyplněn strádáním a bídou. Každý týden, již patnáct let, chodí do přístavu a marně čeká na zprávu, že mu byla přiznána penze. Předtím je živil syn, teď nemají co jíst. Motiv jeho smrti a vykreslení politické situace jsou nejdůležitější prvky příběhu… Don Sabas, kmotr zesnulého syna a stranický předák, unikl perzekuci. Plukovník a jeho manželka jsou, jak říkají, "sirotky" svého zastřeleného syna. Plukovník si chce stůj co stůj ponechat kohouta, jediné dědictví po zesnulém, aby ho mohl přihlásit na zápasy - ale i zájem dalších postav o nejlepšího bojovníka na okrese je politický. A tak městečko dále žije v ovzduší násilí, tajného odporu uvnitř a ozbrojených akcí v terénu.

One of Cosmopolitan's Best Romance Novels EverTurns out that reading nothing but true crime isn't exactly conducive to modern dating--and one woman is going to have to learn how to give love a chance when she's used to suspecting the worst.PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime. She's even analyzing the genre in her dissertation--if she can manage to finish writing it. It's hard to find the time while she spends the summer in Florida, cleaning out her childhood home, dealing with her obnoxiously good-natured younger brother, and grappling with the complicated feelings of mourning a father she hadn't had a relationship with for years.It doesn't help that she's low-key convinced that her new neighbor, Sam Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but at night he's clearly up to something). It's not long before Phoebe realizes that Sam might be something much scarier--a genuinely nice guy who can pierce her armor to reach her vulnerable heart.

In her remarkable book, Anna Sherman tells of her search for the bells of Edo, exploring the city of Tokyo and its inhabitants and the individual and particular relationship of Japanese culture - and the Japanese language - to time, tradition, memory, impermanence and history.Through Sherman’s journeys around the city and her friendship with the owner of a small, exquisite cafe, who elevates the making and drinking of coffee to an art-form, The Bells of Old Tokyo presents a series of hauntingly memorable voices in the labyrinth that is the metropolis of the Japanese capital: An aristocrat plays in the sea of ashes left by the Allied firebombing of 1945. A scientist builds the most accurate clock in the world, a clock that will not lose a second in five billion years. A sculptor eats his father’s ashes while the head of the house of Tokugawa reflects on the destruction of his grandfather’s city (‘A lost thing is lost. To chase it leads to darkness’).The result is a book that not only engages with the striking otherness of Japanese culture like no other, but that also marks the arrival of a dazzling new writer as she presents an absorbing and alluring meditation on life through an exploration of a great city and its people.

eBook: Ancient Egyptian mummies and their funerary equipment are an invaluable source of information not only on the Egyptians’ perception of death, but more importantly on their lives – diseases and traumas they suffered from, activities they carried out, their family relations, and more.The present volume, second in the series of Atlas of Egyptian Mummies in the Czech Collections, is dedicated to mummies and funerary containers of non-adults aged 15 and younger. Two complete mummies, twelve isolated parts from ten individuals, and six funerary containers were introduced in a detailed catalogue, along with their respective provenances, and brief excursions into the health and disease of ancient Egyptian children, and their funerarytreatment.The studied material came from the collections of two divisions of the National Museum in Prague, namely the Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures, and the Natural History Museum. The mummies were examined using non-invasive methods, and the results were compared to those published in the past.The containers, two boxes, two hampers, and two jars represent only a small part of typological repertoire of containers used for the deposition of burials of non-adult individuals.While the non-adult mummies and their isolated parts are without provenience, all of the six containers come from modern excavations at well-documented cemeteries at Deir el-Medina and Abusir. Examination by non-invasive methods, especially computed tomography, brought to light several findings including one possible case of traumatic death, and one possible case of rickets. Information on the use of mummification substances and techniques – including the reinforcement of spine – were also reported.

Life after crime from the International Booker-shortlisted author of Elena KnowsFifteen years after killing her husband’s lover, Inés is fresh out of prison and trying to put together a new life. Her old friend Manca is out now too, and they’ve started a business – FFF, or Females, Fumigation, and Flies – dedicated to pest control and private investigation, by women, for women. But Señora Bonar, one of their clients, wants Inés to do more than kill bugs – she wants her expertise, and her criminal past, to help her kill her husband’s lover, too. Crimes against women versus crimes by women; culpability, fallibility, and our responsibilities to each other—this is Piñeiro at her wry, earthy best, alive to all the ways we shape ourselves to be understandable, to be understood, by family and love and other hostile forces.

''Mind blowingly brilliant'' PHILIPPA PERRY''Few other writers have such passion for granular detail, intellectual heft and boundless curiosity'' THE TIMES''As suspenseful and pacy as an episode of peak-era ER'' GUARDIANA near-fatal health emergency leads to this powerful reflection on death—and what might follow—by the bestselling author of Tribe and The Perfect Storm.For years as an award-winning war reporter, Sebastian Junger travelled to many front lines and frequently put his life at risk. And yet the closest he ever came to death was the summer of 2020 while spending a quiet afternoon at the New England home he shared with his wife and two young children. Crippled by abdominal pain, Junger was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Once there, he began slipping away. As blackness encroached, he was visited by his dead father, inviting Junger to join him. “It’s okay,” his father said. “There’s nothing to be scared of. I’ll take care of you.” That was the last thing Junger remembered until he came to the next day when he was told he had suffered a ruptured aneurysm that he should not have survived.This experience spurred Junger—a confirmed atheist raised by his physicist father to respect the empirical—to undertake a scientific, philosophical, and deeply personal examination of mortality and what happens after we die. How do we begin to process the brutal fact that any of us might perish unexpectedly on what begins as an ordinary day? How do we grapple with phenomena that science may be unable to explain? And what happens to a person, emotionally and spiritually, when we are forced to reckon with such existential questions?In My Time of Dying is part medical drama, part searing autobiography, and part rational inquiry into the ultimate unknowable mystery.''Moving, compact, philosophically ambitious … A humbling volume'' OBSERVER‘Stunning … A powerful book that comes as close as anything I’ve read in explaining what it means to be human’ JAMES PATTERSON''An instant classic that filled me with wonder, gratitude and awe'' WILL SCHWALBE''A stunning account I didn’t so much read as inhale, awed and riveted and forever changed'' MICHAEL FINKEL
