on love charles bukowski

In On Love, we see Charles Bukowski reckoning with the complications of love and desire. Alternating between the tough and the tender, the romantic and the gritty, Bukowski exposes the myriad faces of love in the poems collected here - its selfishness and its narcissism, its randomness, its mystery and its misery, and, ultimately, its true joyfulness, endurance and redemptive power.Whether writing about his daughter, his lover, or his work, Bukowski is fiercely honest and reflective, using love as a prism to look at the world and to view his own vulnerable place in it.

An illuminating portrait of one very special writer and a lifelong relationship with the animals he considered his most profound teachers, On Cats brings together Bukowski s reflections on the ruthless, resilient, indigent and endearing creatures he so admired.

INTRODUCTION BY RODDY DOYLE He brought everyone down to earth, even the angels LEONARD COHENCharles Bukowski is one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century. The autobiographical Ham on Rye is widely considered his finest novel.

Henry Chinaski, an outcast, a loner and a hopeless drunk, drifts around America from one dead-end job to another, from one woman to another and from one bottle to the next. Uncompromising, gritty, hilarious and confessional in turn, his downward spiral is peppered with black humour.Factotum follows Charles Bukowski s bestselling Post Office, his highly autobiographical first novel. Bukowski s Beat Generation writing reflects his slum upbringing, his succession of menial jobs and his experience of low life urban America. He died in 1994 and is widely acknowledged as one of the most distinctive writers of the last fifty years.Neeli Cherkovski was a close friend of Bukowski and is the author of Hank: The Life of Charles Bukowski (Random House, 1991)

A timeless selection of some of Charles Bukowski’s best unpublished and uncollected poems Charles Bukowski was a prolific writer who produced countless short stories, novels, and poems that have reached beyond their time and place to speak to generations of readers all over the world.

In Storm for the Living and the Dead, Abel Debritto has curated a collection of rare and never- before-seen material—poems from obscure, hard-to-find magazines, as well as from libraries and private collections all over the country. In doing so, Debritto has captured the essence of Bukowski’s inimitable poetic style—tough and hilarious but ringing with humanity. Storm for the Living and the Dead is a gift for any devotee of the Dirty Old Man of American letters.

Další zápisky starého prasáka jsou jedním ze tří posmrtných výborů z několika stovek novinových sloupků, jimiž Charles Bukowski přispíval v letech 1967-1984 do čtyř undergroundových tiskovin, což vysvětluje inspiraci Dostojevského románem Zápisky z podzemí v názvu. Jedná se opět o pestrou várku peprných aforismů, nekompromisních úvah, hrubozrnných historek z kriminálů, barů a dostihů, fantaskních vzpomínek na dětství čpících chlupy a krví či jízlivých odpovědí na dopisy čtenářů a přitrouble inteligentních akademiků. Bukowski jako vždy srší humorem, nadhledem a ležérní erotikou: kupříkladu povídka o ohnivém sexu s neznámou rudovláskou se stala součástí spisů FBI, když byl ještě coby zaměstnanec státní pošty na sklonku šedesátých let sledován kvůli obscénnímu výrazivu a radikálním politickým postojům ve své stále populárnější tvorbě.

Sbírka třiceti povídek z dob, kdy byl Charles Bukowski dle vlastních slov nezaměstnatelný a živil se páskami do psacích strojů . Pár si jich však naštěstí odtrhl od úst, aby nasázel na papír příběhy o vášni a pochybných ženštinách, pití a kocovinách a jiných krásách a ohavnostech života. Pod vlivem hladu se jeho tvorba stává čím dál morbidnější a fantastičtější, v deliriu Bukowski rozvíjí dokonce žánr erotického sci-fi a nebrání se ani zobrazení tabuizovaných forem sexu, neboť poezii podle něj lze najít skutečně všude. Kniha u nás vychází poprvé a mnohé jistě potěší, že jde o autorovo bezkonkurenčně nejchlípnější dílo.

V jednom z nejlepších románů Charlese Bukowského sledujeme, jak Henry Chinaski, autorovo alter ego, prožívá období druhé světové války. Když jej nevezmou do armády, vydává se napříč Amerikou, od jednoho města ke druhému, střídá špatně placená zaměstnání, dělá si nové, bizarní známosti a především: pije a přemýšlí nad nesmyslností života. Faktótum mistrovsky evokuje autorův život i dobu a nadchne nejen Bukowského oddané čtenáře, nýbrž i ty, kteří se s tímto velkým americkým autorem dosud neseznámili. Charles Bukowski : Do širšího povědomí čtenářů se dostal v 60. letech, s nástupem tzv. malých časopisů, které dávaly prostor nezávislé, proti establishmentu zaměřené tvorbě. Svým bohémským životním stylem a nevybíravým politickým slovníkem si vysloužil pozornost agentů FBI a několikrát pobyl ve vězení, především za výtržnictví. Zemřel roku 1994 jako kultovní a světově uznávaný autor a počet jeho čtenářů po celém světě stále roste.

V dosud nevydané sbírce Nikomu nezvoní hrana se Charles Bukowski opět ukazuje jako geniální mistr vypravěčské zkratky, ať už jde o čisté žánrové povídky z dostihů, cynické mezilidské glosy či postmoderní mísení reality a fikce. Nesmějí chybět ani pravidelné sloupky zvané Zápisky starého prasáka , poetické záznamy předjitřních souloží, nekonečných pijatyk a jízlivých polemik s takzvanými literáty. Není lakoničtějšího autora než Bukowského, není děsivější krásy, než když pohlédnete do prasečích očí.

Beginning in 1967, Bukowski wrote the column Notes of A Dirty Old Man for the underground newspaper Open City. Perennially drunk, broke and in search of a woman, Bukowski takes on the guise of a wise fool as he ventures through America s seedy lowlife. Peopled by Kerouac, Burroughs and other much less salubrious characters, his exploits provoke humour and despair, whilst highlighting the inherent beauty and futility of life.

Drsňák Hank Chinaski líčí své dospívání v Los Angeles, poznamenané despotickým otcem, šikanou ve škole, bídou za hospodářské krize a narůstajícím pocitem odcizení, jemuž čelil vzdorem, násilím a únikem do světa literatury. Tento nejlepší Bukowského román je vyprávěn s typickým gustem a ironickým humorem, navíc dokonale vykresluje atmosféru doby. Anglický název Ham on Rye odkazuje nejen na tehdejší typickou svačinu do školy (žitný sendvič se šunkou) a obrazně i vypravěčův pocit stísněnosti, ale také na Salingerův román Kdo chytá v žitě. V neposlední řadě tím ovšem Bukowski naráží na svůj styl psaní (a ham writer on rye whiskey, tj. přehánějící neumětel na žitné ) - a tuto sebeironii se snaží zachytit nový překlad Boba Hýska. Do širšího povědomí čtenářů se dostal v 60. letech, s nástupem tzv. malých časopisů, které dávaly prostor nezávislé, proti establishmentu zaměřené tvorbě.

Výbor z Bukowského korespondence ukazuje oblíbeného autora z jiné stránky: dopisy přátelům, redaktorům i kolegům, chronologicky řazené, se dotýkají především tématu psaní. Zachycují jednak pomalu se rozvíjející Bukowského tvůrčí kariéru zevnitř , očima autora, který líčí, jak začínal poezií v malých časopisech, jak na dlouhá léta psaní úplně přerušil, protože propil psací stroj; jak na jeho možnosti psát působila jeho zaměstnání i lidé kolem něj. Současně čtenář objevuje jakýsi autorský manifest, který Bukowski neformuluje jako prohlášení pro veřejnost rozepsané do okázale formulovaných tvůrčích zásad: spíše mezi řádky čteme autorova zaujetí pro svůj způsob , přezíravost vůči mainstreamovému správnému psaní i rigidním zásadám literárních škol. Navzdory takovému zdánlivě ledabylému postoji je zřejmé, jak důležité psaní pro Bukowského bylo a s jakou vážností se mu věnoval.

Jedná se o žánrově pestrý soubor textů psaných Bukowskim pro losangeleské periodikum Open City v 2. pol. 60. let. V knize najdeme svérázné úvahy, stylizované vzpomínky a syrové příběhy o karbanu, baseballu, bitkách a alkoholu, o bizarním sexu, psaní, toulání, dostizích a sázkách, o Nealu Cassadym, Ginsbergovi a revolucích, o samotě, lásce a smrti, šílenství a sebevraždě, o mrtvolách, gangsterech, ale i o Praze a Dubčekovi. V jízlivě vtipných fejetonech se autor vyslovuje k literatuře, sexu i politice, nevyhýbá se aforismům, v poetických minitextech si něžně vypráví s dcerou, v zábavných historkách zpochybňuje zažité pravopisné, stylistické i mravní normy. Zkrátka Bukowski je více než autentický. Kniha vychází v novém překladu a je doplněna doslovem.

Poslední dokončené dílo Charlese Bukowského, vydané krátce po jeho smrti roku 1994, se už svým názvem hlásí k žánru literárního braku. Využívá četné stereotypy šestákových románů a dovádí je ad absurdum. Bukowskému nezáleží na dokonalé konstrukci detektivní zápletky, spíš se vyžívá v barvitých popisech odvrácené tváře Los Angeles. Bukowski se rozloučil ve velkém stylu - v tomto případě se pro jeho román nadchli nejen čtenáři, ale i kritici.

The Book of Love, Longing, Intimacy and Contentment is the thirty-sixth chapter of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali s Revival of the Religious Sciences. This was the first treatise which established not merely the possibility but the necessity for the love of God. Ghazali argues that all the virtues and spiritual stages that precede love, like repentance, patience and thankfulness, lead to love; and all the spiritual stages that follow on from love are a result of it. Out of Ghazali s pioneering treatment would emerge not only new trends in Sufi theory and practice, but an entire body of mystical poetry including that of the great Persian poets Rumi and Hafiz. The translation is preceded by an extensive introduction which sets the work in its historical and spiritual context.

Musel rezignovat na svůj ekvilibristický rukopis a nechával barvu roztékat, odkapávat, či naopak používal silných pastózních nánosů. Vznikla zcela odlišná materie, která mu však přinesla nové, inspirující zkušenosti. V současnosti se pomalu vrací ke svému ilusivnímu rukopisu. Nadále si buduje svou vlastní cestu a vytváří si uměleckou identitu, kdy do obrazů přenáší svobodu projevu, odvahu, experiment i klasické postupy. Je svérázný a nezaměnitelný autor současné umělecké scény. Pojítkem jeho tvorby je ironie, hra, svébytný humor, reflexe našeho světa, přetrvávající zoomorfní motivy kombinované s lidskými příběhy a to vše propojeno v tématech osobních i společenských.

Luke has no idea what is next for him, but one thing is certain: he wants more from the incredibly smart and sexy woman he hooked up with—even after he learns she’s his new boss. But even if they can find a way to be together that wouldn’t be an ethical nightmare, would such a successful woman really want a tech-world dropout?  Set against a lush backdrop of Napa Valley wine country, nothing goes to your head as fast as a taste of love—even if it means changing all your plans.

A timeless treatise on the unique power of human emotion, Stendhal s Love is translated by Gilbert and Suzanne Sale with an introduction by Jean Stewart and B.C.J.G. Knight in Penguin Classics.In 1818, when he was in his mid-thirties, Stendhal met and fell passionately in love with the beautiful Mathilde Dembowski. She, however, was quick to make it clear that she did not return his affections, and in his despair he turned to the written word to exorcise his love and explain his feelings. The result is an intensely personal dissection of the process of falling - and being - in love: a unique blend of poetry, anecdote, philosophy, psychology and social observation. Bringing together the conflicting sides of his nature, the deeply emotional and the coolly analytical, Stendhal created a work that is both acutely personal and universally applicable.This translation retains all the colour and passion of the original and is accompanied buy the author s original prefaces and appendices. In their introduction, Jean Stewart and B.C.J.G. Knight discuss the relationship between Stendhal and his beloved and explore his views on feminism, education and society.Stendhal (1783-1842) was the pseudonym of Henri Marie Beyle, born and raised in Grenoble. Offered a post in the Ministry of War, from 1800 onwards he followed Napoleon s campaigns throughout Europe before retiring to Italy. Here, as Stendhal , he began writing on art, music and travel. Though not well-received during his lifetime, his work, including The Red and the Black (1830) and The Charterhouse of Parma (1839), now places him among the pioneers of nineteenth-century literary realism.If you enjoyed Love, you might like Gustave Flaubert s Sentimental Education, also available in Penguin Classics.

A new century, new threats to love . . . Love without risks is like war without deaths - but, today, love is threatened by an alliance of liberalism and hedonism. Caught between consumerism and casual sexual encounters devoid of passion, love - without the key ingredient of chance - is in danger of withering on the vine.In In Praise of Love, Alain Badiou takes on contemporary dating agency conceptions of love that come complete with zero-risk insurance - like US zero-casualty bombs. He develops a new take on love that sees it as an adventure, and an opportunity for re-invention, in a constant exploration of otherness and difference that leads the individual out of an obsession with identity and self. Liberal, libertine and libertarian reductions of love to instant pleasure and non-commitment bite the dust as Badiou invokes a supporting cast of thinkers from Plato to Lacan via Karl Marx to form a new narrative of romance, relationships and sex - a narrative that does not fear love.
