Memorial - Alice Oswald
Matthew Arnold praised the Iliad for its ''nobility'', as has everyone ever since -- but ancient critics praised it for its enargeia, its ''bright unbearable reality'' (the word used when gods come to earth not in disguise but as themselves). To retrieve the poem''s energy, Alice Oswald has stripped away its story, and her account focuses by turns on Homer''s extended similes and on the brief ''biographies'' of the minor war-dead, most of whom are little more than names, but each of whom lives and dies unforgettably - and unforgotten - in the copiousness of Homer''s glance. ''The Iliad is an oral poem. This translation presents it as an attempt - in the aftermath of the Trojan War - to remember people''s names and lives without the use of writing. I hope it will have its own coherence as a series of memories and similes laid side by side: an antiphonal account of man in his world... compatible with the spirit of oral poetry, which was never stable but always adapting itself to a new audience, as if its language, unlike written language, was still alive and kicking.'' - Alice Oswald

Woods etc. - Alice Oswald
Woods etc. is Alice Oswald''s third collection of poems, and follows the success of her widely acclaimed river-poem Dart, which was awarded the T. S. Eliot Prize in 2002. Extending the concerns of Dart and written over a period of several years, these poems combine abrupt honesty with an exuberant rhetorical confidence, at times recalling the oral and anonymous tradition with which they share such affinity.

"Memorial." The Stolen House - Belenkin Boris
«Мемориал» — это содружество общественных организаций, занимающихся правами человека и историей жертв советских репрессий. В тот момент, когда нобелевский комитет наградил «Мемориал» премией мира, Борис Беленкин находился в Москве в здании суда и выступал ответчиком по иску прокуратуры, наложившей арест на помещение общества. Эта книга — не история «Мемориала», а история человека, Бориса Беленкина, многолетнего сотрудника «Мемориала» и его бессменного библиотекаря. На страницах издания — история его яркой судьбы, которая, полная смешного и грустного, привела Бориса в «Мемориал», да так и не отпустила. ‘Memorial is a community of public organisations working on human rights and the history of victims of Soviet repression. At the time the Nobel Committee awarded Memorial the Peace Prize, Boris Belenkin was in Moscow in a courthouse and was a defendant in a lawsuit filed by the prosecutor's office, which had seized the society's premises.This book is not a history of Memorial, but the story of a man, Boris Belenkin, a long-time employee of Memorial and its permanent librarian. The pages of this publication tell the story of his colourful fate, which, full of funny and sad things, brought Boris to Memorial and never let him go.

The Memorial to the Missing of the Somme - Gavin Stamp
Edwin Lutyens'' Memorial to the Missing of the Somme at Thiepval in Northern France, visited annually by tens of thousands of tourists, is arguably the finest structure erected by any British architect in the twentieth century. It is the principal, tangible expression of the defining event in Britain''s experience and memory of the Great War, the first day of the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916, and it bears the names of 73,000 soldiers whose bodies were never found at the end of that bloody and futile campaign. This brilliant study by an acclaimed architectural historian tells the origin of the memorial in the context of commemorating the war dead; it considers the giant classical brick arch in architectural terms, and also explores its wider historical significance and its resonances today. So much of the meaning of the twentieth century is concentrated here; the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing casts a shadow into the future, a shadow which extends beyond the dead of the Holocaust, to the Gulag, to the ''disappeared'' of South America and of Tianenmen. Reissued in a beautiful and striking new edition for the centenary of the Somme.

Five Days at Memorial - Fink Sheri
In the tradition of the best writing on human behaviour and moral choices in the face of disaster, physician and reporter Sheri Fink reconstructs five days at New Orleans'' Memorial Medical Center during Hurricane Katrina and draws the reader into the lives of those who struggled mightily to survive and to maintain life amidst chaos. After Katrina struck and the floodwaters rose, the power failed, and the heat climbed, exhausted caregivers chose to designate certain patients last for rescue. Months later, several health professionals faced criminal allegations that they deliberately injected numerous patients with drugs to hasten their deaths. Five Days at Memorial, the culmination of six years of reporting, unspools the mystery of what happened in those days, bringing the reader into a hospital fighting for its life and into a conversation about the most terrifying form of health care rationing.In a voice at once involving and fair, masterful and intimate, Fink exposes the hidden dilemmas of end-of-life care and reveals just how ill-prepared we are for the impact of large-scale disasters - and how we can do better. A remarkable book, engrossing from start to finish, Five Days at Memorial radically transforms our understanding of human nature in crisis.

Můj strýček Oswald - Roald Dahl - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Během jídla a pití poslouchat zapovězeno. Hrozí udušení smíchem. Roald Dahl se opět představuje jako mistr humoristických příběhů plných bizarních detailů, mistrně vypointovaných k dokonalosti. K audioknihám tohoto druhu by měla být připojena varování: „Neposlouchejte během jídla a pití, budete se smát tak často, že byste stejně všechno vyprskali.“ Roald Dahl se opět představuje jako mistr humoristických příběhů plných bizarních detailů, mistrně vypointovaných k dokonalosti. Bizarních detailů je v příběhu strýčka Oswalda opravdu požehnaně. Už v předmluvě Oswaldova synovce se jde rovnou k věci. Podle něj by prý ze srovnání se strýčkem Oswaldem i „samotný Casanova vyzněl jako člověk trpící těžkou dysfunkcí svého pohlavního orgánku“. Poté už přichází ke slovu sám strýček Oswald a předestírá příběh anglického gentlemana, který se v mládí rozhodl, že musí přijít k velkému bohatství. K tomu mu dopomohly dvě věci – mletý prášek ze súdánského brouka jménem puchýřník na podporu erekce a spermabanka, do níž svými spolupracovníky kombinací lsti a zmiňovaného prášku sehnal sperma snad všech význačných osobností dvacátých let 20. století. K audioknihám tohoto druhu by měla být připojena varování: „Neposlouchejte během jídla a pití, budete se smát tak často, že byste stejně všechny vyprskali.“

Memorial Days - Geraldine Brooks
A heartrending and beautiful memoir of sudden loss and a journey to peace, from the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of  Horse.Many cultural and religious traditions expect those who are grieving to step away from the world. In contemporary life, we are more often met with red tape and to-do lists. This is exactly what happened to Geraldine Brooks when her partner of more than three decades, Tony Horwitz - just sixty years old and, to her knowledge, vigorous and healthy - collapsed and died on a Washington, D. C. sidewalk.After spending their early years together in conflict zones as foreign correspondents, Geraldine and Tony settled down to raise two boys on Martha''s Vineyard. The life they built was one of meaningful work, good humor, and tenderness, as they spent their days writing and their evenings cooking family dinners or watching the sun set with friends at Lambert''s Cove. But all of this came to an abrupt end when, on Memorial Day 2019, Geraldine received the phone call we all dread. The demands were immediate and many. Without space to grieve, the sudden loss became a yawning gulf.Three years later, she booked a flight to a remote island off the coast of Australia with the intention of finally giving herself the time to mourn. In a shack on a pristine, rugged coast she often went days without seeing another person. There, she pondered the various ways in which cultures grieve and what rituals of her own might help to rebuild a life around the void of Tony''s death.A spare and profoundly moving memoir that joins the classics of the genre, Memorial Days is a portrait of a larger-than-life man and a timeless love between souls that exquisitely captures the joy, agony, and mystery of life.*number 5 in the New York Times hardback non-fiction bestseller chart February 12th 2025

Grieving and still new to adulthood, she confronted the twin pulls of life and death in the aftermath of unimaginable trauma and now explores the way this experience lastingly shaped the artist she became.With penetrating insight and a searing voice that moves from the wrenching to the elegiac, Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Natasha Trethewey explores this profound experience of pain, loss, and grief as an entry point into understanding the tragic course of her mother’s life and the way her own life has been shaped by a legacy of fierce love and resilience. Moving through her mother’s history in the deeply segregated South and through her own girlhood as a “child of miscegenation” in Mississippi, Trethewey plumbs her sense of dislocation and displacement in the lead-up to the harrowing crime that took place on Memorial Drive in Atlanta in 1985.Memorial Drive is a compelling and searching look at a shared human experience of sudden loss and absence but also a piercing glimpse at the enduring ripple effects of white racism and domestic abuse. Animated by unforgettable prose and inflected by a poet’s attention to language, this is a luminous, urgent, and visceral memoir from one of our most important contemporary writers and thinkers.

The Nursery Alice - Lewis Carroll
"I wrote to Macmillan to suggest a new idea: a ''Nursery Edition'' of Alice with pictures printed in."– Lewis Carroll''s diary, 15th February 1881The Nursery Alice, originally published by Macmillan & Co. in 1890, was the very first colour edition of Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland. It was intended, wrote Carroll, "to be read by Children aged from Nought to Five. To be read? Nay, not so! Say rather to be thumbed, to be cooed over, to be dogs''-eared, to be rumpled, to be kissed . . ."With this new, younger readership in mind, Carroll rewrote Alice himself, simplifying and abridging the original text, while Sir John Tenniel redrew, enlarged and coloured twenty of his iconic illustrations (with Alice in a yellow dress to reflect the 1890s craze for yellow!). The resulting book is a delightfully engaging experience; readers prompted to interact not only with the story but also with the images and even the physical book itself, in a way that is thoroughly modern.Gloriously reproduced by Macmillan, the original publishers of both Lewis Carroll''s Alice books, this edition retains every word of the original The Nursery Alice and restores the exquisite delicacy of Tenniel''s artwork - lost in reproductions across the decades - along with the delightful cover artwork by Emily Gertrude Thomson. This gem of a book is the perfect introduction to Alice, and a delight for child and adult readers alike.

After Alice - Gregory Maguire
After Alice by Gregory Maguire, the bestselling author of WICKED, is a wonderful retelling of what happened next after Alice disappeared down the rabbit hole. An entertaining spin on Lewis Caroll''s classic tale of Alice in Wonderland, this novel will delight fans of Angela Carter. When Alice fell down the rabbit-hole, she found Wonderland as rife with inconsistent rules and abrasive egos as the world she left behind. But how did Victorian Oxford react to Alice''s disappearance?Gregory Maguire turns his imagination to the question of underworlds, undergrounds, underpinnings -and understandings old and new, offering an inventive spin on Carroll''s enduring tale. Ada, a friend mentioned briefly in Alice''s Adventures in Wonderland, sets out to visit Alice but, arriving a moment too late, tumbles down the rabbit-hole herself. Ada brings to Wonderland her own imperfect apprehension of cause and effect as she embarks on an odyssey to find Alice and bring her safely home from this surreal world below the world. The White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat and the bloodthirsty Queen of Hearts interrupt their mad tea party to suggest a conundrum: if Eurydice can ever be returned to the arms of Orpheus, or if Lazarus can be raised from the tomb, perhaps Alice can be returned to life. Either way, everything that happens next is After Alice.

Alice Sadie Celine - Sarah Blakley-Cartwright
It’s opening night, but Alice’s performance in the local Bay Area production of The Winter’s Tale is far from glamorous. She doesn’t have dreams of stardom, but the basement theater in a wildfire-choked town isn’t exactly what she envisioned for her career back home in Los Angeles.To make matters worse, her best friend Sadie is not even coming. Pragmatic, serious Sadie and flighty, creative Alice have been best friends since high school—really one another’s only friends—but now that they are through with college (which they attended together) and living on opposite ends of California, Alice would at least expect her friend’s support. Sadie, determined not to cancel her plans with her boyfriend, ends up enlisting the help of her mother, Celine.A professor of women’s and gender studies at UC Berkeley, Celine’s landmark treatise on sex and identity made her notorious, but she’s struggling to write her new book in a post-second-wave feminist world. So, when Sadie begs her to attend Alice’s play, she relents, if only to escape writer’s block. But in a turn of perplexing events, Celine becomes entranced by Alice’s performance and realizes that her daughter’s once lanky, slightly annoying best friend is now an irresistible young woman.Set over the course of decades—from Alice and Sadie’s early friendship days and Celine’s decision to leave her husband to the radical movements of 1990s Berkeley and navigating contemporary Hollywood—Alice and Celine’s affair will test the limits of their love for Sadie and their own beliefs of power, agency, and feminism. Witty and relatable, sexy and surprising, Sarah Blakley-Cartwright’s debut adult novel is a mesmerizing portrait of the inner lives of three very different women.

Za zrcadlem - Prokopová Alice
Alice v říši divů i za zrcadlem představuje fotografie, které vznikly vícenásobnou expozicí – prolínáním fotografií ve fotoaparátu. Alice má s Alenkou mnoho společného, obě jsou dcery básníků, obě sály mateřské mléko poezie od narození. Proto se není čemu divit: Alice je stejně jako Alenka kouzlící, okouzlená a divutvorná. Kdo jiný než Alenka/Alice by mohl uvidět labutě plující ve vlnách parket otevřenými dveřmi do obýváku, ryby proplouvající pod jezdícími schody v Tescu, kočku pozorující v zrcadle okna svůj odraz za ním, hejno bílých hus na dlažbě velkoměsta i letku ptáků rozesetých po obloze jako hvězdy, opuštěného bělouše na pláni obrýlené lidské tváře, schody vedoucí ke slunci a průchody ústící do jiných světů? Alice je vidí a nám dopřává tu rozkoš je spatřit spolu s ní.
