Audiokniha od autorky: Lois Lowryová, čte: David Novotný. Délka nahrávky: 5 hodin, 47 minut. Dokonalý svět bez bolesti. Ale i bez lásky. Jonas pozná pravdu a už se nemůže vrátit. Provokativní příběh o chlapci, který zažívá něco neuvěřitelného a podniká něco nemožného.Představte si, že svět kolem vás je jako podle šablony, existuje jen jedna univerzální barva, jeden typ nábytku, všichni mají stejný střih vlasů, stejné oblečení. Má to své výhody, nikomu nemáte co závidět. Ale...Ve věku dvanácti let je Jonas, mladý chlapec ze zdánlivě utopického, futuristického světa, v němž neexistují války, zločiny, strach ani bolest, vybrán, aby se stal uctívaným strážcem vzpomínek. Podrobuje se výcviku, při němž mu dosavadní příjemce paměti předává to, co nikdo jiný nesmí vědět ani cítit – vzpomínky a zkušenosti předchozích generací, dozvídá se o bolesti a utrpení, ale i o kráse, lásce a přátelství a začíná chápat, že jeho společenství žije v dostatku a bezpečí za cenu totální absence citů a možnosti volby. A s tímhle vědomím, s poznáním těchto hodnot už nedokáže žít jako dřív.

Všichni v městečku znají poněkud nesourodou dvojici kamarádek, které se obě jmenují Sofie. Jedna chodí na základní školu a té druhé je osmdesát osm. Přesto je to ta nejlepší přítelkyně, jakou si jen může holčička, která nikam příliš nezapadá, přát. Sofie spolu rády popíjejí čaj, zaníceně diskutují o všem možném a mají se moc rády.

Ani náhodou. A tak začne se starší kamarádkou paměť trénovat.

“Achieving a world where women everywhere can fulfill their potential is the great unfinished work of today and the very work we must do to make progress.

This monograph on the paintings of Lois Dodd provides invaluable analysis and contextualisation of her work alongside such New York City contemporaries as Alex Katz, Philip Pearlstein and other denizens of the Tenth Street milieu of the 1950s. Emerging from the shadow of Abstract Expressionism, Dodd and this circle clung to a realism based in the early modernist tradition.Beginning in the 1950s, Lois Dodd has steadfastly pursued her observational painting, remaining aloof from passing trends. She is widely admired as a ‘painter’s painter’ whose landscapes and city scenes display subtle effects of place, light and weather within graphically distilled compositions. Dodd’s works capture the intangible character of changing seasons or particular hours of day in locations throughout New York City, rural New Jersey and Maine, but the paintings betray no mark of era; they are curiously timeless.Through extensive studio visits and interviews, Faye Hirsch considers the processes, places and impulses behind Dodd’s paintings and reveals her outwardly peaceful, reflective canvases to be the product of an alert and forceful eye and a powerfully efficient execution.

“Not just a shimmering guide to our personal cosmologies written in precise and lucid prose, this book is also a devastating collection of cultural-criticism essays cum meditations on the very nature of being alive.”—Emma Copley Eisenberg, author of The Third Rainbow GirlA soulful exploration of the twelve astrological signs embodied by our living “stars”—from divas to philosophers, poets to punks—and the ways they can help us better understand ourselves and each other, from the wildly popular astrology columnist for New York magazine’s The Cut.Whether you believe in it or not, astrology’s job has never been to give us a preordained vision of the future, nor to sort us into twelve neat personality types, but to provide the tools and language for delving into our weirdest, best, most thorny contradictions, and for understanding ourselves and each other in our full complexity. The stars and the planets then are more like mirrors that show us who we are, that give us an understanding of how to be and how to move through the world; how certain people do it differently, and what we can learn by studying them.In Madame Clairevoyant’s Guide to the Stars, Claire Comstock-Gay brings the sky down to Earth ...

From the internationally bestselling author of LOVE HER WILD comes THE DARK BETWEEN STARS, a new illustrated collection of heartfelt, whimsical, and romantic poems from Instagram poetry sensation, Atticus. Atticus has captured the hearts and minds of nearly 700k followers (including stars like Karlie Kloss, Emma Roberts, and Alicia Keys). In his second collection of poetry, The Dark Between Stars, he turns his attention to the dualities of our lived experiences--the inescapable connections between our highest highs and lowest lows. He captures the infectious energy of starting a relationship, the tumultuous realities of commitment, and the agonizing nostalgia of being alone again. While grappling with the question of how to live with purpose and find meaning in the journey, these poems offer both honest explorations of loneliness and our search for connection, as well as light-hearted, humorous observations. As Atticus writes poignantly about dancing, Paris, jazz clubs, sunsets, sharing a bottle of wine on the river, rainy days, creating, and destroying, he illustrates that we need moments of both beauty and pain--the darkness and the stars - to fully appreciate all that life and love have to offer.
