eBook: At Fault (1890) is a novel by American author Kate Chopin. Published at the author’s expense, At Fault is the undervalued debut of a pioneering feminist and gifted writer who sought to portray the experiences of Southern women struggling to survive in an era decimated by war and economic hardship. Thérèse Lafirme is a Creole widow whose husband’s death has made the Place-du-Bois plantation on the Cane River in northwestern Louisiana her sole responsibility. Struggling to survive in a region that, following the fall of the Confederacy, has failed to recover from the devastation of defeat, Lafirme agrees to sell her land’s timber rights to a recently divorced businessman named David Hosmer. As the two begin to fall in love, Hosmer’s sawmill causes tension in an agrarian community unaccustomed to modern industry. Hosmer proposes to Thérèse, she is forced to consider the prospect of marriage against the opinion her community as well as her own moral and religious values, to set her personal desires aside in order to appease tradition. When Fanny, Hosmer’s alcoholic ex-wife, re-enters the picture, trouble ensues that threatens to ruin Lafirme’s reputation as an honest, hardworking woman. At Fault, like much of Chopin’s work, went largely unnoticed upon publication, but has since garnered critical acclaim as a work that explores the lived experiences of women and racial minorities during a period of political and economic upheaval. Both fictional and autobiographical—Chopin was a widow of French heritage who struggled to provide for her family following her husband’s death—At Fault is an underappreciated masterpiece of nineteenth-century literature. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Kate Chopin’s At Fault is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Winklerova poézia presvedčivo a naliehavo stvárňuje najaktuálnejšie fenomény dnešnej doby - fragmentáciu a virtualizáciu skutočnosti. Autor testuje flexibilitu jazyka, rozrušuje homogénnosť poetického rukopisu prostredníctvom slov a slovných spojení z neumeleckých oblastí, vytvára neologizmy a posúva idiomatické väzby smerom k fantasknému a grotesknému výrazu. Jeho poézia nedeklaratívnym spôsobom preklenuje vžité dichotómie medzi tradíciou a inováciou, medzi prírodou a kultúrou, medzi pôvodnosťou a odvodenosťou a medzi zážitkovým a špekulatívnym písaním. Ron Winkler sa narodil v roku 1973 v Jene, žije v Berlíne. Píše predovšetkým poéziu, publikoval však aj niekoľko zbierok prozaických čŕt a miniatúr. Aktívne sa venuje umeleckému prekladu s dôrazom na súčasnú americkú poéziu. Slovenský výber v preklade Nóry Ružičkovej, ktorá napísala aj doslov, reprezentuje autorovu básnickú tvorbu v rozpätí od jeho debutu ojedinele chodci (2004) po najnovšiu zbierku Pohľadnice z území (2017). Knihu ilustrovala Maja Štefančíková.

For a decade, their lives have been governed by laws written to preserve 'American culture' in the wake of years of economic instability and violence.

''This is an essential and fascinating book because it brings to light, through conversations and nature walks, some of the buried connections between Britain’s landscape and historic buildings and its complicated hidden histories. Fowler does not judge or diminish, but enriches and deepens our understanding of this nation'' Bernardine Evaristo''This is real, difficult, essential history delivered in the most eloquent and accessible way. Her case, that rural Britain has been shaped by imperialism, is unanswerable, and she makes her arguments beautifully. An important book'' Sathnam Sanghera ''A detailed and thoughtful exploration of historical connections that for too long have been obscured. A powerful book that brings the history of the Empire home – literally'' David OlusogaThe countryside is cherished by many Britons. There is a depth of feeling about rural places, the moors and lochs, valleys and mountains, cottages and country houses. Yet the British countryside, so integral to our national identity, is rarely seen as having anything to do with British colonialism. Where the countryside is celebrated, histories of empire are forgotten. In Our Island Stories, historian Corinne Fowler brings rural life and colonial rule together with transformative results. Through ten country walks, roaming the island with varied companions, Fowler combines local and global history, connecting the Cotswolds to Calcutta, Dolgellau to Virginia, and Grasmere to Canton.Empire transformed rural lives for better and for worse: whether in Welsh sheep farms or Cornish copper mines, it offered both opportunity and exploitation. Fowler shows how the booming profits of overseas colonial activities, and the select few who benefited, directly contributed to enclosure, land clearances and dispossession. These histories, usually considered separately, continue to shape lives across Britain today.To give an honest account, to offer both affection and criticism, is a matter of respect: we should not knowingly tell half a history. This new knowledge of our island stories, once gained, can only deepen Britons'' relationship with their beloved landscape.
