''A cat is only ITSELF, representative of the strong forces of life that won''t let go''For Charles Bukowski there was something majestic and elemental about cats. He considered them to be sentient beings, whose searing gaze could penetrate deep into our being. Cats see into us; they are on to something. 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.

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.

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. A classic of American literature, it offers powerful insight into his youth through the prism of his alter-ego Henry Chinaski, who grew up to be the legendary Hank Chinaski of Post Office and Factotum.

Everyone’s favorite Dirty Old Man returns with a new volume of uncollected work. Charles Bukowski (1920–1994), one of the most outrageous figures of twentieth-century American literature, was so prolific that many significant pieces never found their way into his books. Absence of the Hero contains much of his earliest fiction, unseen in decades, as well as a number of previously unpublished stories and essays. The classic Bukowskian obsessions are here: sex, booze, and gambling, along with trenchant analysis of what he calls "Playing and Being the Pet." Among the book''s highlights are tales of his infamous public readings ("The Big Dope Reading," "I Just Write Poetry So I Can Go to Bed with Girls"); a review of his own first book; hilarious installments of his newspaper column, Notes of a Dirty Old Man, including meditations on neo-Nazis and driving in Los Angeles; and an uncharacteristic tale of getting lost in the Utah woods ("Bukowski Takes a Trip"). Yet the book also showcases the other Bukowski—an astute if offbeat literary critic. From his own "Manifesto" to his account of poetry in Los Angeles ("A Foreword to These Poets") to idiosyncratic evaluations of Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, LeRoi Jones, and Louis Zukofsky, ...

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)

“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author“He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriterOne of Charles Bukowski''s best, this beer-soaked, deliciously degenerate novel follows the wanderings of aspiring writer Henry Chinaski across World War II-era America. Deferred from military service, Chinaski travels from city to city, moving listlessly from one odd job to another, always needing money but never badly enough to keep a job. His day-to-day existence spirals into an endless litany of pathetic whores, sordid rooms, dreary embraces, and drunken brawls, as he makes his bitter, brilliant way from one drink to the next.Charles Bukowski''s posthumous legend continues to grow. Factotum is a masterfully vivid evocation of slow-paced, low-life urbanity and alcoholism, and an excellent introduction to the fictional world of Charles Bukowski.

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. Many of his poems remain little known since they appeared in small magazines but were never collected, and a large number of them have yet to be published. 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.

Bukowkski''s gift was a sense for the raunchy absurdity of life, his writing a grumble that might turn into a belly laugh or a racking cough but that always throbbed with vital energy."—Kirkus ReviewsFrom the self-illustrated, unpublished work written in 1947 to hardboiled contributions to 1980s adult magazines, The Bells Tolls for No One presents the entire range of Bukowski''s talent as a short story writer, from straight-up genre stories to postmodern blurring of fact and fiction. An informative introduction by editor David Stephen Calonne provides historical context for these seemingly scandalous and chaotic tales, revealing the hidden hand of the master at the top of his form.Born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, Charles Bukowski published his first story when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. His first book of poetry was published in 1959; he would eventually publish more than forty-five books of poetry and prose. He died of leukemia in San Pedro, California on March 9, ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A collection of reflections on writing and the nature of the writer from one the greatest American writers of the 20th century.Throughout Hemingway’s career as a writer, he maintained that it was bad luck to talk about writing—that it takes off “whatever butterflies have on their wings and the arrangement of hawk’s feathers if you show it or talk about it.” Despite this belief, by the end of his life he had done just what he intended not to do. In his novels and stories, in letters to editors, friends, fellow artists, and critics, in interviews and in commissioned articles on the subject, Hemingway wrote often about writing. And he wrote as well and as incisively about the subject as any writer who ever lived… This book contains Hemingway’s reflections on the nature of the writer and on elements of the writer’s life, including specific and helpful advice to writers on the craft of writing, work habits, and discipline. The Hemingway personality comes through in general wisdom, wit, humor, and insight, and in his insistence on the integrity of the writer and of the profession itself. —From the Preface by Larry W. Phillips

This book examines the student experience of thesis writing through an interdisciplinary perspective drawing on theories of learning, emotions, and genre and narrative/discursive analysis. As a result of this approach, the thesis is reconceptualised as a multilayered experience from the point of view of student writers. The chapters, which arose out of a collaborative research project across 10 European countries, employ an innovative combination of methods including the use of journey plots to provide a complex picture of the thesis writing process, which will be of interest to readers involved in academic writing at all levels.

Kniha - autor Anne Lamott, 272 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná "Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he'd had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, 'Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'"
