mysteries knut hamsun

''Knut Hamsun founded the modernist and postmodernist novel at once'' writes James Wood in his introduction to this seminal work by a Nobel Prize-winning writer who has been recognised as one of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century.A young man called John Nagel arrives to spend a summer in a small Norwegian coastal town, a stranger in a loud yellow suit who begins to behave very curiously. He shocks, bewilders and beguiles with his open defiance and erratic self-revelations. Nagel''s presence acts as a catalyst for the hidden impulses, concealed thoughts and darker instincts of the townsfolk. Cursed with the ability to understand the human soul, especially his own, Nagel can foresee, but cannot prevent, his own destruction.

The epic novel of man and nature that won its author the Nobel Prize in Literature. When it was first published in 1917, Growth of the Soil was immediately recognized as a masterpiece. In the story of Isak, who leaves his village to clear a homestead and raise a family amid the untilled tracts of the Norwegian backcountry, Knut Hamsun evokes the elemental bond between humans and the land. Newly translated by the distinguished Hamsun scholar Sverre Lyngstad, Growth of the Soil is a work of preternatural calm, stern beauty, and biblical power - and the crowning achievement of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.

INTRODUCTION BY JO NESBØAFTERWORD BY PAUL AUSTERNineteenth-century Kristiania is an unforgiving place, and work is thin on the ground. Roaming the streets of Norway''s capital, a penniless young writer searches for inspiration whilst trying desperately to make ends meet. Driven to extraordinary lengths, sleeping under the stars with his stomach growling, the writer''s behaviour becomes increasingly irrational and his world spirals into chaos. Hunger was Knut Hamsun''s first novel and earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920. A disturbing and darkly humorous masterpiece of existential fiction, Hunger anticipated and influenced some of the twentieth century''s most acclaimed writers including Camus, Kafka and Fante.

''When the snow water had broken crevices open in the mountain a shot or even just a sharp cry was enough to tear loose a huge slab and send it toppling.'' Lieutenant Thomas Glahn spends a summer in northern Norway, where the midnight sun triggers a short but intense release of energies. Living out of a rudimentary hut on the edge of the forest, he pursues a solitary existence, hunting, fishing, and engaging intermittently with the inhabitants of the nearby coastal village. Among these is Edvarda, daughter of the wealthy local trader Herr Mack. Their mutual attraction rapidly develops into an erotic fascination shot through with suspicions and jealousies; a series of fraught encounters culminates in violent actions with unforeseen consequences. First published in 1894, Pan was an immediate success and remains a classic of Norwegian literature. It embodies many of the distinctive features of Hamsun''s early works, in particular a rejection of psychological stereotypes and a style infused by what Hamsun called a ''poetry of the nerves''. Terence Cave''s new translation restores the power and virtuosity of Hamsun''s original and includes an illuminating introduction and explanatory notes.

''It was at the time when I was wandering around hungry in Kristiania, that strange city no one leaves before it has set its mark on them...'' Hunger is the first-person story of a young man desperately trying to establish himself in the city as a writer, living in shabby lodgings where he can seldom afford to pay the rent, eating almost nothing, and engaging spasmodically and manically with landladies, eccentric elderly men, policemen, shopkeepers, pawnbrokers, and others on the way. He wanders around the streets, sits on benches trying to write, spends a night locked in a pitch-dark police cell, thinks, slides into remarkably inventive reveries, speculates on his mental health, his ethical comportment, his relation to the divinity, the topics he might write about. The traces of a consistent narrative logic are uncertain and blurred; the voice of the narrator keeps shifting between pragmatic appraisal of his situation, wild fantasies, manic outbursts, anger, and despair. This is a story that lies on the threshold of modernism, anticipating many of the dislocations that narrative will be subject to in the decades to come.This new translation seeks to restore the startling freshness and epidermal unease of Hamsun''s breakthrough story of 1890. It remains faithful to the style and voice of the text, the shifts of tense, the indirect free style, and the constant changes of register as the inner monologue moves between poetic sensitivity, wild fantasies, manic outbursts, and hyperbolic emotion. Tore Rem''s introduction provides an updated and fresh account of the genesis of Hunger, its book history and its reception.

This is the story of Isak, a worker of the land, with its roots in man''s deepest myths about the struggle to cultivate the land and make it fertile. Sweeping and panoramic, the story moves at the pace of the passing seasons and with the growth of the crops on which the characters'' lives depend.Hamsun''s themes of individual freedom, and the fundamental human need to reconcile man with the natural world, speak even more resonantly than when the novel was first published.

P. O. Enquist je jedním z nejvýraznějších a nejpřekládanějších švédských spisovatelů a dramatiků, jeho dramata se pravidelně objevují i na české divadelní scéně. Častým tématem jeho tvorby je zpochybňování hranic mezi pravdou a lží, což se zřetelně odráží také v této knize. Z hlediska skutečného inspiračního modelu představuje Knut Hamsun (významný, byť kontroverzní norský spisovatel, nositel Nobelovy ceny z roku 1920) pro Enquista ideální hlavní postavu. Kniha se stala předlohou ke stejnojmennému filmu, který v roce 1996 natočil režisér Jan Troell a v němž titulní roli skvěle ztvárnil Max von Sydow. Snímek uváděla v loňském roce i Česká televize.

Nórsky básnik Knut Odegard patrí k popredným spisovateľom Severu - v súčasnosti je najprekladanejším nórskym básnikom. Prekladateľ M. Richter pripravil rozsiahly výber z Odegardovej najnovšej tvorby (Stefensenov dom, Svätá omša, Vyhliadka, Kvitne tak šialene) (2008), a priradil k nim niekoľko básní z 80. a 90. rokov. V širokodyšných básňach, ktoré nám formou pripomínajú R. Jeffersa, W. Whitmana alebo S.-J. Persa, básnik naplno obnažil svoju bolesť aj svoju vieru v Boha. Bolesť zoči-voči duševne chorej dcére a jej víziám, bolesť zoči-voči starnúcej manželke a vlastným chorobám, bolesť zoči-voči utrpeniu, akému sú vystavované predovšetkým nevinné a bezbranné tvory: deti, duševne chorí ľudia, ľudia na periférii spoločnosti. Reflektujúc toto všetko originálnym, často epickým veršom, vedie autor zároveň dialóg s Bohom, čím vzniká konfrontácia profánneho sveta so svetom božským, pátos sa mieša s civilným slovným prejavom, vrúcnosť a hlboká ľudskosť básnika naráža na krutosť prírody a diabolstva v človeku.Odegard je na Slovensku známy aj ako neúnavný propagátor diela B. Björnsona - založil festival nesúci meno nám vzácneho nórskeho spisovateľa a viac než 10 rokov je na čele Akadémie B. Björnsona, ktorá sa zameriava na dodržiavanie ľudských práv najmä v oblasti kultúry a umenia na celom svete. V r. 2007 mu bola v Bratislave udelená Cena Jána Smreka.

The first new translation in over a century of the the brilliant epic novel that inspired Les MisérablesFrom July 1842 through October 1843, Parisians rushed to the newspaper each week for the latest installment of Eugène Sue''s The Mysteries of Paris, one of France''s first serial novels. The suspenseful story of Rodolphe, a magnetic hero of noble heart and shadowy origins, played out over ninety issues, garnering wild popularity and leading many to call it the most widely read novel of the 19th century. Sue''s novel created the city mystery genre and inspired a raft of successors, including Les Misérables and The Count of Monte Cristo.The intricate melodrama of The Mysteries of Paris unfolds around a Paris where the fortunes of the rich and the poor are helplessly tangled, despite the vast gulf between them. In the Cité, a seedy neighborhood where criminals gather, Rodolphe encounters a young prostitute of breathtaking purity who goes by the name Songbird. He saves her from an attack by a ruffian called the Slasher, setting off the dominoes of an epic narrative traversing the ranks of French society. As Rodolphe pursues his own mysterious quest for redemption, a circle of characters from all walks of life forms around him-some following his every move and others gravitating to his boundless generosity. From the nefarious pairing of the Schoolmaster and the Owl, a hardened criminal and an unfathomably cruel street merchant, to Morel, a gem-cutter so virtuous he refuses to steal even the smallest ruby to feed his starving family, the lines between good and evil in Sue''s Paris are always clear, but never unyielding. Though the immense literary and historical resonance of Sue''s magnum opus has been for years overshadowed by Hugo''s achievement, this stunning new translation is a revelation, promising to bring the unmitigated pleasures of Sue''s cliffhangers and criminals to a new century of readers. Sensational, steamy, tightly-plotted, pulpy, proto-socialist, heartbreaking, and riveting, The Mysteries of Paris is doubtless one of the most entertaining and influential works to emerge from the 19th century.

Jak se promítá osobnost a život slavných umělců do jejich fyzické podoby? Vladimír Kiseljov se věnuje malbě, ale také dlouhodobému studiu životů a děl některých slavných hudebních skladatelů, básníků a filosofů, které zachycuje ve svých portrétech. V aktuální knize představuje nové mnohovrstevnaté vizuální i textové portréty 22 osobností, např. Mozarta, Beethovena, Wagnera, Čajkovského, Janáčka, Goetha, Shakespeara, Komenského, Meyrinka a dalších. Autor využívá své znalosti symboliky a mytologie k vyprávění osudů lidí skrze nezaměnitelné barvy, tvary a kompozici, snažící se zachytit prvotní jiskru jejich duše. Počet 22 osobností vybral autor záměrně jako číslo, které vystihuje počet písmen hebrejské abecedy, kterou byl symbolicky stvořen svět. Představuje pro Kiseljova plnost všech archetypů lidských povah v jejich protikladech, představených těmito osobnostmi umění a ducha. Kiseljov má za sebou přes 90 výstav svých maleb - v Berlíně, Florencii, Vídni, Edinburghu, Kodani, Mnichově, Praze a dalších městech. Je vyznamenán několika mezinárodními cenami za svou uměleckou a vědeckou tvorbu, mezi jinými např. v roce 2018 na festivalu v Casablance v Maroku, na wagnerovském kongresu v Innsbrucku. V roce 2013 vydal svou první knihu "Mysteria Richarda Wagnera v obrazech", která zaznamenala značný mezinárodní odborný ohlas publikovanými malbami i originálním výkladem symboliky skladatelova díla. V této linii výkladu děl slavných umělců a vizualizací skrytého poselství jejich děl Kiseljov pokračuje i touto knihou... Kniha obsahuje překlad všech textů do anglického jazyka.

`Her present life appeared like the dream of a distempered imagination, or like one of those frightful fictions, in which the wild genius of the poets sometimes delighted. Rreflections brought only regret, and anticipation terror.' Such is the state of mind in which Emily St. Aubuert - the orphaned heroine of Ann Radcliffe's 1794 gothic Classic, The Mysteries of Udolpho - finds herself after Count Montoni, her evil guardian, imprisions her in his gloomy medieval fortress in the Appenines.Terror is the order of the day inside the walls of Udolpho, as Emily struggles against Montoni's rapacious schemes and the threat of her own psychological disintegration. A best-seller in its day and a potent influence on Walpole, Poe, and other writers of eighteenth and nineteenth-century Gothic horror, The Mysteries of Udolpho remains one of the most important works in the history of European fiction. As the same time, with its dream-like plot and hallucinatory rendering of its characters' psychological states, it often seems strangely modern: `permanently avant-garde' in Terry Castle's words, and a profound and fascinating challenge to contemporaryreaders.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

A second witty, fun, 1970s-set whodunnit in the Lowe and Le Breton mysteries series, featuring two ageing actors attempting to solve a murder after their famous co-star is found dead in a doorway outside the theatre in which they’re performing. Nostalgic cosy crime that’s perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club and Death & Croissants.It’s 1971 and, in between filming seasons of Floggit and Leggit!, ageing actors Edward Lowe and John Le Breton sign up for short run of Shakespeare tragedies at the Bolton Playhouse. But, once in Lancashire, they discover they have been invited to join the theatre’s repertory company for two reasons – because the company manager is keen to take advantage of the publicity surrounding their successful BBC comedy series and because Sir Nathaniel Thompson, the much-lauded star of the show and knight of the realm, has been sacked for drunkenness and for failing to turn up for work.John fears an awkward scene, should Thompson – who he knew during the war – return to reclaim his job, but when the great actor’s body is found, bludgeoned to death in a nearby alleyway, the unlikely crime-solving duo find themselves investigating another fiendish mystery that takes them from the northwest of England to the Netherlands, and which, rather inconveniently, seems to have John’s ex-wife Sally at its heart.Death at the Playhouses is the second in The Lowe and Le Breton Mysteries series.
