The Collected Dorothy Parker - Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker, more than any of her contemporaries, captured the spirit of the Jazz Age in her poetry and prose, and The Collected Dorothy Parker includes an introduction by Brendan Gill in Penguin Modern Classics.Dorothy Parker was the most talked-about woman of her day, notorious as the hard-drinking bad girl with a talent for stinging repartee and endlessly quotable one-liners. The decadent 1920s and 1930s in New York were a time of great experiment and daring for women. For the rich, life seemed a continual party, but the excesses took their emotional toll. In the bitingly witty poems and stories collected here, along with her articles and reviews, she brilliantly captures the spirit of the decadent Jazz Age in New York, exposing both the dazzle and the darkness. But beneath the sharp perceptions and acidic humour, much of her work poignantly expresses the deep vulnerability of a troubled, self-destructive woman who, in the words of philosopher Irwin Edman, was ''a Sappho who could combine a heartbreak with a wisecrack''.Dorothy Parker (1893-1967) was born in West End, New Jersey, and grew up in New York. In 1916 she sold some of her poetry to the editor of Vogue, and was subsequently ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Ballad of Dorothy Wordsworth - Frances Wilson

The prize-winning biography of Wordsworth''s beloved sister, champion, muse who was at the heart of the Romantic movement in Britain - reissued to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Dorothy''s birth.''Genius ... Its own kind of heaven.'' New York Times ''A most beautiful, deep, and humble study of incredibly complex people.'' Oliver Sacks Dorothy Wordsworth is an enigma. William''s beloved sister was his muse, champion, and most valued reader. She is mythologised as a self-effacing spinster and saintly amanuensis, yet Thomas De Quincey described her as ''all fire and ardour''. Dorothy sacrificed a traditional life to share in her brother''s world of words. In her Grasmere Journals, she vividly recorded their intimate life together in the Lake District, marked by a startling freedom from social convention. The tale that unfolds in her brief, electric entries reveals an intense bond between siblings, culminating in Dorothy''s collapse on William''s wedding day - after which the woman who once strode the hills in all weathers retreated inside the house for the last three decades of her life.In her magisterial biography, Frances Wilson uses the compressed emotion of Dorothy''s journals to evoke the rich interior world of a woman determined to live on her own ...

The Floating Admiral - Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Agatha Christie, Dorothy Leigh Sayersová

Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, G.K. Chesterton and nine other writers from the legendary Detection Club collaborate in this fiendishly clever but forgotten crime novel first published 80 years ago. Inspector Rudge does not encounter many cases of murder in the sleepy seaside town of Whynmouth. But when an old sailor lands a rowing boat containing a fresh corpse with a stab wound to the chest, the Inspector's investigation immediately comes up against several obstacles. The vicar, whose boat the body was found in, is clearly withholding information, and the victim's niece has disappeared. There is clearly more to this case than meets the eye - even the identity of the victim is called into doubt. Inspector Rudge begins to wonder just how many people have contributed to this extraordinary crime and whether he will ever unravel it... In 1931, Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and ten other crime writers from the newly-formed `Detection Club' collaborated in publishing a unique crime novel. In a literary game of consequences, each author would write one chapter, leaving G.K. Chesterton to write a typically paradoxical prologue and Anthony Berkeley to tie up all the loose ends. In addition, each of the authors provided ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Kinship - Dorothy Cross

Kinship is a unique undertaking in the artistic career of one of Ireland’s leading artists. This book, and the artistic project it is part of, charts the act of returning a mummified body of a man to Egypt. This book, produced in conjunction with Dorothy Cross’s newest artistic project, charts this unique journey, drawing in new writings from some of the best contemporary writers from around the world, who write on and around the themes of the Kinship project – migration, home, refuge, crisis and the process of return. In 2019 Dorothy Cross recalled a story of an Egyptian mummy that had been hidden away in the archives of the anatomy department at University College Cork for decades. For Cross, the next step she needed to take seemed as natural to her as any of her work – the mummy and sarcophagus must be returned to its homeland. In beginning this act, and this journey, Cross set out to create an event across place and time, with music, literature and celebration – an act of kinship. As the body returns to its home across the Mediterranean, the Kinship project would again draw attention to the present-day plight of thousands of ...

Genderová ideologie - Sharon Jamesová

Svět přijal myšlenku, že pohlaví je něco, o čem může rozhodovat člověk. Stále častěji se setkáváme s kolegy, přáteli a rodinnými příslušníky, kteří se identifikují s jiným pohlavím, než s jakým se narodili. Jak máme s takovými lidmi jednat? Potřebujeme být informováni a vybaveni znalostmi o dané problematice, měli bychom znát význam příslušných pojmů a potřebujeme vědět, co o těchto věcech říká Stvořitel, který svou vůli vyjádřil v Bibli. Sharon Jamesová nám v této informativní a praktické příručce pomáhá kráčet po tenké hranici mezi láskou k bližnímu a odmítáním lží světa, a přitom neztratit rovnováhu.

Audiokniha: Cyklus 12 rozhlasových her o životě Ježíše Krista. Dorothy Leigh Sayersová se této látky chopila jako zkušená spisovatelka- a přitom s pokorou a s úctou k biblické látce, k níž přibrala pár legend, které se k biblickému vyprávění později připojili. V každém příběhu uslyšíte úryvek z Ježíšova příběhu, tak jak jej zachytil některý z evangelistů. Potom kulisy oživnou , rozpovídají se a vy jste svědky mezihry, která v bibli takto zapsána není. Tady už v sobě Dorothy Leigh Sayersová detektivářku nezapře.

Rok na vsi aneb Kalendářové vyprávění Dorotky a Jakuba z 19. století - Kamila Skopová

Autorka volně navazuje na své předešlé publikace s národopisnou tematikou, respektive její nenásilnou popularizaci. Tentokrát stylizuje knihu do podoby starobylých kalendářů, které bývaly oblíbenou četbou ve venkovských domácnostech. Přístupnou a čtivou formou vyprávění dvou mladých lidí přibližuje čtenáři všední i sváteční život na vesnici ve druhé polovině 19. století. Ve výpovědi běžných i neobvyklých událostí jednoho roku se tu střídají mládenec Jakub a jeho milá Dorotka. Lze snad prozradit, že rok pro ně skončí veselkou, tedy šťastně… Důležitější je totiž podoba knížky, jež navazuje na starobylé kalendáře, přinášející čtenářům kromě praktických údajů také vyprávění, pranostiky, říkadla a písničky, zajímavé recepty a obrázky. Jeden rok života Dorotky a Jakuba tak Kamila Skopová ve své desáté knize doplňuje vedle svých nezaměnitelných obrázků i půvabnou lidovou slovesností, pranostikami, praktickými návody a ovšem - i tradičními recepty lidové kuchyně.

Climbing Days - Dorothy Pilley

When Dorothy Pilley first began climbing in the 1910s, female mountaineers were seen as a dangerous liability, their achievements ignored, unrecorded or disbelieved. Undeterred, Dorothy proved herself on the vertiginous slopes of Wales, Scotland and the Lake District before tackling rock faces in the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Rockies, Mount Fuji and the Himalayas. Her tireless championing of fellow women climbers and her own trailblazing example helped establish female alpinists as serious mountaineers with impressive records on bravery, skill and endurance. First published in 1935, Climbing Days tells a daredevil tale of adventure, near-death slips and rapturous achievement in high places, interleaved with moments highlighting the particular challenges of being a woman in a sport seen as the province of men.
