Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro

From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human. Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it. Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it's only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.

Call Me By Your Name: Film Tie-In Edition (1786495252)

Kniha - autor André Aciman, 256 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Call Me By Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blooms between seventeen-year-old Elio and his father's house guest Oliver during a restless summer on the Italian Riviera. Unrelenting currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire threaten to overwhelm the lovers who at first feign indifference to the charge between them. What grows from the depths of their souls is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration, and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing they both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

Nokturna - Kazuo Ishiguro

Soubor novel nazvaný Nokturna a opatřený podtitulem Pět příběhů o hudbě a soumraku patří k vrcholům Ishigurova díla. Pětice volně propojených příběhů, odehrávajících se v Benátkách, Londýně, západoanglickém Herefordshire a Beverly Hills, vypráví o lásce, hudbě, úspěchu a životních selháních - a Ishigurovy postavy se nám v nich představují ve chvílích náhlého prozření či formativní životní krize. Autor tu znovu osvědčuje svůj jedinečný cit pro střídání nálad, zachycení nejjemnějších emocí a především pro plynutí času; to vše je přitom podáno vytříbeným, soustředěným stylem, prosyceným stoicismem a nostalgickou rezervovaností. Jednotlivé příběhy knihy nejsou nijak vyhrocené, spíše zvláštně zklidněné, komorní - jde skutečně o nokturna, tedy kompozice spíše poklidné povahy, částečně smířené s tím, že den už uplynul, že za chvíli vše pohltí noc. Přesto jako by v těch uspávajících tónech probleskovala jakási naděje: že až nazítří přijde nový den, bude jiný než ten, který se právě skončil.

Pohřbený obr - Kazuo Ishiguro

Pohřbený obr je nejnovější próza držitele Nobelovy ceny za literaturu za rok 2017. Děj románu zasadil autor do počátků raného středověku, kdy se Británie, kterou dávno opustili Římané, nezadržitelně mění v trosky. Král Artuš jistě vykonal pro smír na ostrově své, ale i on už se odebral do propadliště dějin a neklidnou zemí bloumají různá individua, včetně těch nadpřirozených. Příběh začíná rozhodnutím starých manželů Axla a Beatrice vydat se krajem mlhy a deště v naději, že se shledají se synem, kterého léta neviděli. Očekávají mnohá nebezpečí, ale netuší, že jim tato cesta odhalí dávno zapomenutá temná místa jejich vzájemné lásky. Kazuo Ishiguro nabízí podmanivý, hluboce jímavý příběh o ztracených vzpomínkách, lásce, pomstě, válce a síle zapomnění.

Soumrak dne - Kazuo Ishiguro

Někdy se říká, že praví majordomové se vyskytují pouze v Anglii. V ostatních zemích mají - i když jsou nazýváni různě - jenom sluhy. Já se k tomuto názoru přikláním. Evropané nemohou být majordomy, protože svou přirozeností nejsou schopni potlačovat city tak, jak to dokážou jen příslušníci anglické rasy," říká o sobě majordom Stevens, vypravěč románu Sou- mrak dne, který celý svůj život zasvětil oddané službě na panství Darlington Hall. A jeho charakteristika trefně vystihuje především jeho samého: jeho loajalitu vůči pánovi i ochotu nevidět znepokojivé dění na panství předčí právě jen jeho schopnost potlačovat city, včetně těch milostných, jejichž adresátkou byla po dlouhá léta společného zaměstnání hospodyně slečna Ken- tonová. Vytěsněné city i tužby se ovšem rády vracejí, a nejinak tomu je i u Stevense: během šestidenní dovolené se mu jeho minulost zpřítomní s nečekanou silou - a on se s ní musí chtě nechtě vyrovnat. Román Soumrak dne, oceněný prestižní Booker Prize, je obec- ně považován za vrcholné dílo Kazua Ishigura; k jeho nesmírné popularitě nepochybně přispělo i mistrné filmové zpracování s Anthony Hopkinsem a Emmou Thompsonovou.

Klára a Slunce - Kazuo Ishiguro

Ishigurův román Klára a Slunce je zpovědí vyřazené robotky jménem Klára, nadané pokročilou umělou inteligencí i pozoruhodnými pozorovacími schopnostmi. Klářiným úkolem je starat se o dospívající dítě, které si ji v obchodě vybralo, podle svého nejlepšího vědomí a svědomí. Klára ovšem coby výjimečný robot dostává výjimečný úkol – starat se o dítě vážně nemocné, na jehož nemoc není léku. V příběhu vyprávěném jazykem poznamenaným zvláštnostmi v Klářině vnímání a vyjadřování skutečnosti potvrzuje Ishiguro opět své literární mistrovství. Průzračně prostými slovy vytváří záludně složitý obraz současného spíš než budoucího lidstva. Klára v něm figuruje coby výplod civilizace, v níž obyčejný, technologicky nevylepšený lidský život stále více připomíná minulost, která bude brzy definitivně překonána, případně politováníhodný omyl. Díky rafinovanosti, s níž Ishiguro vtahuje čtenáře do Klářiny snahy pochopit, jak vlastně lidi fungují, přesahuje román meze pouhé společenské kritiky, satiry či alegorie. Podobně jako dřívější Ishigurova próza Neopouštěj mě sice i jeho nový román patří do žánru sci-fi, daleko víc však připomíná tu tragikomickou, tu melancholickou pohádku. Pohádku o lidském světě odkázaném na nelidské Slunce, v jehož proměnlivém světle se dospělí nejednou jeví dětinštější než děti a roboti lidštější než lidé.

The Buried Giant - Kazuo Ishiguro

The extraordinary new novel from the author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize winning The Remains of the Day. The Romans have long since departed, and Britain is steadily declining into ruin. But at least the wars that once ravaged the country have ceased. The Buried Giant begins as a couple, Axl and Beatrice, set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen for years. They expect to face many hazards - some strange and other-worldly - but they cannot yet foresee how their journey will reveal to them dark and forgotten corners of their love for one another. Sometimes savage, often intensely moving, Kazuo Ishiguro's first novel in a decade is about lost memories, love, revenge and war.

Soumrak dne - Kazuo Ishiguro - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Pan Stevens byl celý život loajálním, oddaným, uctivým a pečlivým majordomem na Darlingtonském panství. Jeho pojetí svědomité služby má však za následek hradbu upjatosti, přes kterou si nikdy nedovolil projevit ani ty nejzákladnější city. Když jeho letitý zaměstnavatel prodá své sídlo zbohatlickým Američanům, pokusí se zrekapitulovat svůj život, který hrdě položil na oltář abstraktnímu ideálu, aniž by se dosud odvážil reflektovat, čemu to vlastně bez oddechu sloužil. Nejznámější román Kazuo Ishigura, který obdržel Nobelovu cenu za Literaturu 2017. Podle románu vznikla stejnojmenná filmová adaptace (režie James Ivory, 1993) s Anthonym Hopkinsem a Emmou Thompsonovou v hlavních rolích. Kazuo Ishiguro (*1954) Britský spisovatel japonského původu strávil rané dětství v Japonsku, ale již jeho v šesti letech se celá rodina přestěhovala do Velké Británie, kde Ishiguro také vystudoval (od základní školy po univerzitu v Kentu). V roce 1981 publikoval první povídky a o rok později vyšel jeho první román A Pale View of Hills. Pět let poté následoval další román Malíř pomíjivého světa (Argo, 1999), který byl nominován do užšího výběru na prestižní Bookerovu cenu. Tu nakonec získala roku 1989 autorova třetí kniha Soumrak dne (Leda, 2010, 2016), která byla zfilmována s Anthonym Hopkinsem a Emmou Thompsonovou v hlavních rolích (režie James Ivory, 1993). Na Bookerovu cenu pak byly nominovány i jeho další romány Když jsme byli sirotci (Barrister & Principal, 2005) a Neopouštěj mě (BB art, 2007) – druhý jmenovaný se rovněž dočkal filmové adaptace, v níž si zahráli Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan a Andrew Garfield (režie Mark Romanek, 2010). Česky vyšla také sbírka povídek Nokturna (Plus, 2010) a román Pohřbený obr (Argo, 2017). V roce 2017 obdržel Nobelovu cenu za literaturu.

The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain: Lyrics for Stacey Kent - Kazuo Ishiguro

Memorably introduced by Ishiguro himself, The Summer We crossed Europe in the Rain collects the sixteen song lyrics he wrote for world-renowned American singer, Stacey Kent, which were set to music by her partner Jim Tomlinson. An exquisite coming together of the literary and musical worlds, the lyrics are infused with a sense of yearning, melancholy, love, and the romance of travel and liminal spaces. Further exploring the notion of collaboration and interpretation, the collection is illustrated by the acclaimed Italian artist, Bianca Bagnarelli whose work perfectly captures the atmosphere and sensibility of the songs.

Klára a Slunce - Kazuo Ishiguro - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Chápou umělé bytosti věci, které jejich tvůrcům unikají? Až doteď robotka Klára, umělý přítel generace B2, čekala ve výloze obchodu na puberťáka, jemuž by sloužila jako submisivní společnice. Přitom vůbec nepatří do výprodeje: snad trochu divně mluví a nerozumí plně souvislostem světa „tam venku“, zato je všímavá a má i solidní kapacitu emocí, byť stále neodpovídají běžné lidské spontaneitě. Pak se jí konečně poštěstí. V rodině dospívající Josie se však střetne s realitou z masa a kostí – dívka trpí nevyléčitelnou chorobou a zbývají jí poslední měsíce… Noblesní britský nobelista Kazuo Ishiguro znovu tiše přitvrdil v kritice elitářství a diskutuje s odkazem Raye Bradburyho a Arthura C. Clarka o tom, kde hledat meze robotiky a kde kaňky na obrazu lidskosti. A mezitím jeho nejnovější svědomitá služebnice Klára bere publiku dech. S utkvělou vírou v solární pohon totiž hodlá požádat Slunce – odnepaměti považované za zjevení boží tváře –, aby její svěřenku uzdravilo. Bude to na spásu stačit? „Ishiguro se zas a znovu ptá, co obnáší být člověkem, a tedy cítit vlastní já. A kolik z onoho já smíme a máme věnovat druhým.“ – National Public Radio. „Jedinečná šance, jak zásadně zrevidovat naše pojetí krásy a připomenout si, že jsme v hloubi duše zoufale křehcí.“ – The Observer. „Autor čtyřicet let sleduje, co s námi dělá paradox očitého svědka a klamy vlastní paměti. Jeho nové pozorování dává této snaze korunu tak průzračnou, tak lidskou. Nepostradatelnou.“ – The New York Times Book Review. „Strašidelná pohádka o osamělém, skomírajícím světě, který je až příliš věrohodný.“ – Kirkus Reviews. „Mistrovské dílo, které vás donutí přemýšlet o životě, smrtelnosti, spásné milosti lásky: zkrátka o tom všem.“ – Maureen Corrigan, NPR. „Ishigurova próza je jemná a tichá. Román je zajímavým pohledem na to, jakou roli může umělá inteligence sehrát v naší budoucnosti... je to dojemná meditace o lásce a osamělosti.“ – Maggie Sprayregen.

Klara and the Sun - Kazuo Ishiguro

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A GOOD MORNING AMERICA Book Club Pick • ON PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SUMMER 2021 READING LIST • A Best Book of the Year by Harper's Bazaar, Vulture, and more A magnificent new novel from the Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro-author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize-winning The Remains of the Day-"a masterpiece that will make you think about life, mortality, the saving grace of love” (NPR). The first novel by Kazuo Ishiguro since he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature tells the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her. Klara and the Sun is a thrilling book that offers a look at our changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator, and one that explores the fundamental question: what does it mean to love? In its award citation in 2017, the Nobel committee described Ishiguro's books as "novels of great emotional force" and said he has "uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world."

Když jsme byli sirotci - Kazuo Ishiguro

Román Když jsme byli sirotci patří k vrcholným dílům britského nositele Nobelovy ceny za literaturu Kazua Ishigura. Autor zde v mnohém navazuje na své předchozí čtyři prózy, v nichž zkoumá nejistý vztah člověka k prožité skutečnosti a jeho věčnou náchylnost k sebeklamu. Tentokrát tak činí skrze vzpomínky a osudy Christophera Bankse, jenž poté, co se stane slavným detektivem, napne všechny své síly, aby vyřešil případ svých rodičů, kteří beze stopy zmizeli v době jeho dětství prožitém v čínské Šanghaji. Román se geograficky pohybuje mezi Dálným východem a Londýnem v době před druhou světovou válkou a zdá se, že v něm nejde o nic menšího než o záchranu světa před zlem, které ho má brzy pohltit. Je však také možné, že realita tohoto světa, již Ishiguro zobrazuje optikou archetypu geniálního soukromého detektiva, nakonec bude úplně jiná. Autor prostřednictvím odkazů ke klasickým britským autorům, ke zlatému věku anglické detektivky či Kafkovým románům vytváří na první pohled ishigurovsky nenápadnou, ale čtenářsky vzrušující fikci, která mu podprahově klade ty nejzákladnější otázky týkající se paměti, historie a mechanismů, jimiž si tvoříme příběh vlastního života.

A Pale View of Hills - Kazuo Ishiguro

In this debut novel from acclaimed Booker Prize-winning Kazuo Ishiguro (The Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go), post-war Japan serves as the haunting backdrop to a subtle story of memory, suicide, and psychological trauma. Etsuko lives alone in rural England, trying to come to terms with the recent suicide of her daughter, Keiko. A visit from her other daughter Niki sends Etsuko retreating into the depths of her memory. She finds herself reliving one particular hot summer in Nagasaki, when she and her friends struggled to rebuild their lives after the horrors of the bomb and WWII. But when her thoughts turn to her strange friendship with Sachiko and Sachiko's daughter Mariko, the memories begin to take on a disturbing cast. As Etsuko examines her relationship with her daughters and struggles to cope with her guilt, the lines between the past and the present-between Etsuko's own daughter and Mariko, between reality and recollection-start to blur. Read the evocative and atmospheric novel that began Kazuo Ishiguro's illustrious literary career. Winner of the Winifred Holtby Prize in 1982, A Pale View of the Hills is still haunting readers decades later.

Their Finest (Film Tie In) - Evans Lissa

Now a major film starring Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin and Bill Nighy. It's 1940. In a small advertising agency in Soho, Catrin Cole writes snappy lines for Vida Elastic and So-Bee-Fee gravy browning. But the nation is in peril, all skills are transferable and there's a place in the war effort for those who have a knack with words. Catrin is conscripted into the world of propaganda films. After a short spell promoting the joy of swedes for the Ministry of Food, she finds herself writing dialogue for 'Just an Ordinary Wednesday', a heart-warming but largely fabricated 'true story' about rescue and romance on the beaches of Dunkirk. And as bombs start to fall on London, she discovers that there's just as much drama, comedy and passion behind the scenes as there is in front of the camera...originally published as Their Finest Hour and a Half.
