Píše se rok 1901 a k ostrovu Minger - "perle východního Středomoří" ležící kdesi mezi Krétou a Kyprem - se pod rouškou tmy blíží neohlášená loď. Na palubě vedle princezny Pakize, dcery sesazeného osmanského sultána, a jejího manžela doktora Nuriho cestuje také hlavní hygienik Bonkowski. Každý z nich má zvláštní poslání, ale ne všichni ho budou moci naplnit. Nad zdánlivě idylickým krajem, který s oblibou zobrazují romantičtí umělci, se stahují temná mračna. Šíří se zvěsti o moru - zvěsti, jež je třeba v zájmu udržení moci ututlat. Jenže morová nákaza má čím dál víc obětí a není zdaleka jediná, kdo na Mingeru zabijí. Snahy o zavedení racionálních vědeckých metod narážejí na fatalistický odpor vůči protiepidemickým nařízením a zároveň se vyostřuje etnické napětí mezi Řeky a Turky, mezi křesťany a muslimy. Když pak Francouzi a Angličané uvalí na ostrov blokádu, aby se nákaza nedostala do Evropy, ospalá osmanská provincie, dokonale odříznutá od okolního světa, se náhle probere z letargie a stává se dějištěm divokého víru událostí: pučů a protipučů, boje modernistů s náboženskými fanatiky, rychlého střídání státních forem i překotného budování nového mingerského národa. Ve svém rozsáhlém, vrstevnatém a nesmírně podmanivém románu Pamuk jako ve vypouklém zrcadle zobrazuje nejen osmanskou společnost ... Unknown localization key: "more"

At a time of violent fundamentalism, however, this is a dangerous proposition. Even the illustrious circle of artists are not allowed to know for whom they are working. But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their Master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror?With the Sultan demanding an answer within three days, perhaps the clue lies somewhere in the half-finished pictures.Orhan Pamuk is one of the world''s leading contemporary novelists and in My Name is Red, he fashioned an unforgettable tale of suspense, and an artful meditation on love and deception.

Cosi podivného v mé hlavě je rozsáhlá románová freska zachycující životní osudy pouličního prodavače Mevlüta, jehož rodina v 70. letech emigrovala ze střední Anatolie do Istanbulu. Na rozdíl od většiny svých předchozích děl Pamuk tentokrát opouští prostředí poevropštěné istanbulské smetánky a vydává se mezi migranty a nádeníky z okrajových částí města. Mevlüt se živí jako prodavač bozy, sladkého nápoje z lehce fermentované pšenice, a sní o tom, že jednoho dne zbohatne. Po tři roky neúnavně píše milostné dopisy dívce, kterou spatřil na jedné svatbě, ale nakonec si po sérii omylů odevzdaně vezme její sestru. Podobně smířen s osudem roky den co den obchází ulice Istanbulu a přemýšlí o oné "podivnosti", kterou cítí ve své hlavě a jež ho odlišuje od ostatních - a nakonec ho další zvrat osudu přivede k poznání, po čem to celý život vlastně tolik toužil… Melancholičnost příběhu je narušována plejádou hlasů dalších, mnohdy bytostně komických postav, z nichž každá poodhaluje část Mevlütovy osobnosti a dodává knize humorný podtón. Cosi podivného v mé hlavě je nezvyklým portrétem Istanbulu kresleným z úhlu, jenž je i pro autora novinkou: z pohledu těch, kdo tvoří samé dno pestré istanbulské společnosti; je to další monumentální encyklopedie města, v níž autor s ...

Výběr z esejí, které Pamuk napsal v průběhu necelých třiceti let, má jako ústřední témata dvě autorovy největší vášně: knihy a Istanbul. Sbírka je koláží jazykově i stylově vybroušených textů, které sahají od autorových vzpomínek na dětství přes pronikavé vhledy do těch nejbizarnějších koutů města na Bosporu až po kritické úvahy o světových literátech i vlastním psaní a zahrnuje i delší povídku. Z této různorodé mozaiky se skládá překvapivě ucelený, téměř románový svět spisovatele rozkročeného mezi Západem a Východem, který i z nenápadných každodenností dokáže vytvořit nesmírně poutavý příběh.

From one of our greatest, a panoramic new novel, his first sinceMuseum of Innocence, bringing us into Istanbul's underground through the eyes of a struggling street vendor. It is the 1990s in Istanbul, and although there were once thousands of boza vendors walking the frozen streets of the city, Mevlut now cuts a lonely figure on snowy winter nights. Falling deeply into debt, and desperate to marry off his incompetent son and satisfy his mistress, Mevlut turns to his old friend Ferhat, who collects payments on electric bills. The partners traverse the back streets of middle class neighbourhoods and shantytowns, venture into flats, shops and restaurants of the poor, relishing their power to punish cheaters and collect bribes. The dangers of Istanbul's underbelly eventually catch up with Mevlut, and he is attacked by a pack of dogs, hospitalized, robbed by bandits, and beaten and threatened at every turn. Istanbul is exposed as a city with a rich and dynamic underground culture which seeps into its secular business centres and mainstream society. Mevlut serves as a flighty guide, occasionally attuned to the city's nuances, but with a wild imagination and instincts tainted by desperation.

A genre-bending novel of 1001 nights of no-holds-barred, pre-code American movies distilled into a single fevered dreamworld.Arabian Nights of 1934 is a journey through the fevered dreamworld embodied in American movies of the early 1930s: an era that closed abruptly with the enforcement of the Production Code in July 1934. It distills a thousand and one nights of Depression-era movie-going—plotlines, closeups, cityscapes, wisecracks, backchat, and frantic outbursts—into a haunting parallel life, the stories bleeding into one another as they did in the minds of the viewers whom they helped sustain.Two of those viewers, it so happens, are O''Brien''s own parents in their restless youth—one impatient to experience the world beyond the screen, one ready to take it on—and the glimpse we''re afforded into the darkened theaters of their minds frames the book with an act of imagination at once tender and audacious.

A ''dark night of the soul'' is not a psychological syndrome, but a quest for meaning during life''s darkest hours: the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, ageing and illness, career disappointments or just an ongoing dissatisfaction with life. Thomas Moore''s extensive experience as a psychologist and theologian has taught him that the dark night is a challenge to restore ourselves and to become someone of substance, depth and soul. By using these trying times as an opportunity to reflect and delve into the soul''s deepest needs, we can find a new understanding of life''s meaning. Dark Nights of the Soul has its roots in a favourite chapter in Thomas Moore''s million copy bestseller, Care of the Soul. In this beautifully-written and thought-provoking work he explores our contemporary anxieties and insecurities and shows how these metaphoric dark nights can become transforming rites of passage.

The city’s fluctuating fortunes are all represented, from the wild nights of the Jazz Age to the hedonistic disco era, from to the grim days of the Depression to the devastation of 9/11 and its aftermath, as its brokenhearted but unbowed citizens picked up the pieces. New York’s remarkable rise, reinvention, and growth are not just the tale of a city, but the story of a nation, From the building of the Brooklyn Bridge to the immigrants arriving at Ellis Island; from the slums of the Lower East Side to the magnificent art deco skyscrapers. The urban beach of Coney Island and the sleaze of Times Square; the vistas of Central Park and the crowds on Fifth Avenue. The streets, the sidewalks, the chaos, the energy, the ethnic diversity, the culture, the fashion, the architecture, the anger, and the complexity of the city are all laid out in this kaleidoscopic book. This is the greatest ... Unknown localization key: "more"

For millennia, societies have told tales of their fears incarnate – otherworldly couriers of plague, death, temptation and moral decline. Drawing from three thousand years of religious traditions and world literature, The Penguin Book of Demons follows these supernatural creatures – and the humans who have hunted and been haunted by them – through accounts across cultures and continents, including: the daimones of ancient Greece and Rome; the giant, biblical half humans known as Nephilim who stalked the earth before the Great Flood; corrupted angels, condemned to eternity in Hell; the djinn of Islamic Arabia; the female, child-eating gelloudes of Byzantium; the seductive incubi and succubi of northern Europe; the animal spirits of early modern China; and the cannibalistic wendigo of Native American folklore. From demonic possession to black magic, these accounts give life to a spellbinding, skin-crawling history of the paranormal.

It remains a vast business - if all the cotton bales produced in 2013 had been stacked on top of each other they would have made a somewhat unstable tower 40,000 miles high. Sven Beckert''s superb new book is a history of the overwhelming role played by cotton in dictating the shape of our world. It is both a gripping narrative and a brilliant case history of how the world works.

Especially for fans of love stories comes a collection written by established and new authors. This anthology is partly inspired by true stories and partly by well-known epic tales. A young woman of Peranakan descent in Singapore, a Malayalee woman thousands of miles away from Singapore at the brink of WWII and an interracial couple in current times, all face a similar predicament – Do they break free from conventions and follow their beckoning hearts? A young man with no future nor prospects pines for his one true love in his kampong, a May-December couple’s plans for their second chance is threatened, a young impressionable woman falls for a man-child – Will fate give them a helping hand? What if Cinderella’s evil stepmother had loved her? What if the hundred nights of pursuit of the 10th-century Japanese court lady Ono Komachi took place in Singapore? What if a single decision, one moment or an unspoken wish changed your life forever?

Four of Dressler''s old gangster colleagues have put together a national tour of once-popular rock bands they own a piece of: three nights of concerts by guys (and a few gals) who were big shots back in the 1960s and 1970s, and who are now hoping at one more gasp of glory with this nostalgia exhibition. The Rock of Ages tour has proved itself to be anything but a love fest. There have been two near-fatal accidents that might have been attempted murders and Junior has one weekend to figure out who''s to blame.

In 1915, the Turkish government systematically organised the wholesale slaughter of a complete race, the Armenians. Under the cover of World War I, through the secret organisation of unofficial gangs of Kurds, released prisoners, German officers and Turks who had lost their lands in the war against the Balkans, over 1 million Armenians were murdered, starved, raped and left to die. Following the War, as the Nationalist movement began to rise up from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, the allies tried to persecute the perpetrators of the genocide, in a series of trials where the term 'crimes against humanity' was first used, Turkey was allowed to hide its recent history.It has remained hidden ever since. As the nation attempts to enter the European Union, the question of 1915 has become ever more important with the arrest of writers such as Orhan Pamuk, and the introduction of Turkey into the EU.
