But the work, when there was any, was poorly paid and the housing squalid. Out of this world of limited opportunities a generation of delinquents arose whose prospects were stifled and whose rebellion would be brief and violent… One summer’s day in Gerona ...

Lord of All the Dead is a courageous journey into Javier Cercas'' family history and that of a country collapsing from a fratricidal war. The author revisits Ibahernando, his parents'' village in southern Spain, to research the life of Manuel Mena. This ancestor, dearly loved by Cercas'' mother, died in combat at the age of nineteen during the battle of the Ebro, the bloodiest episode in Spain''s history. Who was Manuel Mena? A fascist hero whose memory is an embarrassment to the author, or a young idealist who happened to fight on the wrong side? And how should we judge him, as grandchildren and great-grandchildren of that generation, interpreting history from our supposed omniscience and the misleadingperspective of a present full of automatic answers, that fails to consider the particularities of each personal and family drama?Wartime epics, heroism and death are some of the underlying themes of this unclassifiable novel that combines road trips, personal confessions, war stories and historical scholarship, finally becoming an incomparable tribute to the author''s mother and the incurable scars of an entire generation.Translated from the Spanish by Anne McLean

_______________‘Richly imagined, suspenseful and surprisingly poignant ... a reminder of how Spanish history might have taken a dramatically different turn'' - Financial Times‘Persuasive, brilliant and absorbing'' - Economist''Cercas is a master storyteller'' - Independent_______________A suspenseful, dramatic novel by the author of Soldiers of Salamis, translated from the Spanish by Anne McLeanIn February 1981, just as Spain was finally leaving Franco''s dictatorship and during the first democratic vote in parliament for a new prime minister, Colonel Tejero and a band of right-wing soldiers burst into the Spanish parliament and began firing shots. Only three members of Congress defied the incursion and did not dive for cover: Adolfo Suarez, the then-outgoing prime minister, who had steered the country away from the Franco era; Guttierez Mellado, a conservative general who had loyally served democracy; and Santiago Carillo, the head of the Communist Party, which had just been legalised.In The Anatomy of a Moment, Cercas examines a key moment in Spanish history, just as he did so successfully in his Spanish Civil War novel, Soldiers of Salamis. This is the only coup ever to have been caught on film as it was happening, which, as Cercas says, ''guaranteed both its reality and its unreality''. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Javier Cercas ve svém románu neobyčejně poutavým způsobem zachytil osmnáct hodin trvající puč, který začal 23. února 1981 v 18.23 hodin ve španělském parlamentu v Madridu. Do sálu vtrhla skupina ozbrojených gardistů a po chvíli nařídila vyděšeným poslancům a členům vlády, aby si lehli na zem. Tímto aktem začal pokus o puč, jehož prvotním cílem bylo odstranit dosluhující neschopnou vládu Adolfa Suáreze a nahradit ji "vládou národní jednoty", kterou by v duchu "řízené demokracie" vedl představitel armády. Všichni přítomní politici, novináři a zaměstnanci parlamentu uposlechli rozkazy pučistů a lehli si na zem, až na tři muže: dosluhujícího předsedu vlády Adolfa Suáreze, jeho ministra obrany Gutiérreze Mellada a vůdce španělských komunistů Santiaga Carrilla. Do této jediné chvíle jako by se zkoncentrovaly všechny okamžiky následujících hodin, dnů a měsíců, ale do jisté míry tento okamžik symbolizuje celé španělské dějiny 20. století a přechod od diktatury k demokracii. Anatomie jednoho okamžiku popisuje okolnosti puče věrně, vychází z desítek hodin televizních záběrů z parlamentu, ze záznamů soudních jednání s pučisty a z osobních rozhovorů autora s aktéry událostí. Kniha si po svém vydání vysloužila respekt nejen u široké čtenářské veřejnosti, které nabízí náhled na fungování Španělska v posledním století, ale díky jejím faktografickým a ...

The ‘Wild West’, or American Frontier as it is also known, developed in the years following the American Civil War. However, this period of myth-making cowboys, infamous gunslingers, not always law-abiding lawmen, and saloon madams, is as much the product of fiction writers and film makers as reality. The outlaw came into his, or indeed her, own in the mid to late 19th century. Some of these individuals, men such as Billy the Kid, William Clarke Quantrill, Butch Cassidy or Harry Longabaugh, better known as the Sundance Kid, became household names. Many of those who roamed America’s West in the period between 1850 and 1900 often appear as colourful, romanticised, legendary characters. This includes the likes of Frank and Jesse James, who had stepped outside the law due to the harshness of life after the Civil War or under circumstances beyond their control. The majority of outlaws, though, were anonymous common criminals. In 1877, for example, the State Adjutant General of Texas, published ‘wanted posters’ for some 5,000 outlaws and bandits in the Rio Grande district alone, almost all of whom have since vanished into the mists of time.

Get an inside look at the irreverent, rule-breaking subculture of hot rodded, or “Outlaw,” Porsches in this handsome volume featuring stunning photography and interviews with key players.Being cool rarely means being “correct.” And few other sports car genres better reflect that ethos than Porsche Outlaws. The enthusiasts and builders behind these modified Porsches defiantly toss out the rulebook along with the factory-correct parts. From custom paint jobs to modified chassis, engine swaps to racing interiors, rally replicas to historic racer tributes, Porsche Outlaws are about building your dream car. These enthusiasts live by the “drive it, don’t hide it” credo, and they’ve become one of the most popular sports car subcultures around the vaunted German marque. Porsche Outlaws chronicles this rapidly growing Porsche cult. The cars are hot rods in every sense of the term, but the basis is a 356, 912, or 911 model rather than a 1932 Ford.

‘Dress as though your life depends on it or don’t bother.’ (Leigh Bowery, 1985)Outlaws pays homage to the boundary-pushing fashion and styling that defined London’s vibrant 1980s club scene, celebrating the anarchic energy and experimental flair of Leigh Bowery and his fellow fashion renegades, who pioneered a unique and daring creative movement.Bowery, an Australian-born performance artist and fashion designer, was the central figure of this movement, and he and his circle of friends sparked an explosion of outrageous fashion. Outlaws features specially commissioned photography of original outfits crafted by 27 trailblazing clothes designers, including John Galliano, Stephen Linard, Bodymap, Pam Hogg, Rachel Auburn, Wayne Hemingway, Richmond Cornejo and Bowery himself. These are accompanied by interviews with icons of 1980s clubland such as musician Holly Johnson, DJ Mark Moore and artists Peter Doig and Dave Baby, while stories from those who wore the pieces are entwined with clubland flyers and rarely seen photos of the styling on show at clubs such as Taboo, the legendary weekly club night Bowery founded in 1985 in Leicester Square.The scene also encompassed art, photography, film and music and was a vibrant marker in LGBTQ+ history.

The Infatuations is a critically acclaimed novel by the great Spanish writer Javier Marías.Every day, Maria Dolz stops for breakfast at the same café. And every day she enjoys watching a handsome couple who follow the same routine. Then one day they aren''t there, and she feels obscurely bereft.It is only later, when she comes across a newspaper photograph of the man, lying stabbed in the street, his shirt half off, that she discovers who the couple are. Some time afterwards, when the woman returns to the café with her children, who are then collected by a different man, and Maria approaches her to offer her condolences, an entanglement begins which sheds new light on this apparently random, pointless death.With The Infatuations, Javier Marías brilliantly reimagines the murder novel as a metaphysical enquiry, addressing existential questions of life, death, love and morality.Praise for The Infatuations:''Mesmerising . . . chillingly clear and hypnotically eerie . . .

Dark Back of Time is a compelling story of the way in which reality blurs into fiction by Javier Marías, whose highly-anticipated new novel The Infatuations is published in 2013. It is translated by Esther Allen in Penguin Modern Classics. ''We lose everything because everything remains except us'', says the mysterious narrator of this extraordinary novel, which meditates on the transience, chance and fragility of life. As a man called Javier Marías recalls the strange events and people that shaped his past, including ghostly literary figures, a pilot, an adventurer, a brother who died as a child and the king of an island in the Caribbean, we begin to question the nature of time, memory and reality itself. Here the writer is both a keeper of memories and a purveyor of illusions, destined to be lost in the dark back of time.Javier Marías was born in Madrid in 1951. He has published ten novels, two collections of short stories and several volumes of essays. His work has been translated into thirty-two languages and won a dazzling array of international literary awards, including the prestigious Dublin IMPAC award for A Heart So White.

Inspired by a classic of martial arts literature, S. L. Huang''s The Water Outlaws are bandits of devastating ruthlessness, unseemly femininity, dangerous philosophies, and ungovernable gender who are ready to make history―or tear it apart. In the jianghu, you break the law to make it your own. Lin Chong is an expert arms instructor, training the Emperor''s soldiers in sword and truncheon, battle axe and spear, lance and crossbow. Unlike bolder friends who flirt with challenging the unequal hierarchies and values of Imperial society, she believes in keeping her head down and doing her job. Until a powerful man with a vendetta rips that carefully-built life away. Disgraced, tattooed as a criminal, and on the run from an Imperial Marshall who will stop at nothing to see her dead, Lin Chong is recruited by the Bandits of Liangshan. Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Liangshan Bandits proclaim a belief in justice―for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats. Apart, they love like demons and fight like tigers. Together, they could bring down an empire.

England has been radically changed by a series of catastrophes – large cities have disappeared and London has been replaced by a lagoon. The surviving population exists in fortified towns where they cling to traditional ways, while strangely evolved beasts prowl the wilderness beyond. Conformity is rigidly enforced and those who fall foul of the rules are persecuted: some are killed, others are driven out into the wilds. Only a few fight back – and two of these outlaws, Scarlett McCain and Albert Browne, display an audacity and talent that makes them legends.

He is the sole survivor of a horrific accident, and against her better judgement, Scarlett agrees to guide him to safety. This is a mistake. Soon there are men with dogs and guns and explosives hot on their heels. Scarlett’s used to being chased by the law, but this is extreme.

Award-winning sociologist Joanna Kempner unearths how a group of ordinary people debilitated by excruciating pain developed their own medicine from home-grown psilocybin mushrooms—crafting near-clinical grade dosing protocols—and fought for recognition in a broken medical system. Cluster headache, a diagnosis sometimes referred to as a ‘suicide headache,’ is widely considered the most severe pain disorder that humans experience. There is no cure, and little funding available for research into developing treatments. When Joanna Kempner met Bob Wold in 2012, she was introduced to a world beyond most people's comprehension—a clandestine network determined to find relief using magic mushrooms. These ‘Clusterbusters,’ a group united only by the internet and a desire to survive, decided to do the research that medicine left unfinished. They produced their own psychedelic treatment protocols and managed to get academics at Harvard and Yale to test their results. Along the way, Kempner explores not only the fascinating history and exploding popularity of psychedelic science, but also a regulatory system so repressive that the sick are forced to find their own homegrown remedies, and corporate America and university professors stand to profit from their transgressions.

Gordon has reunited mother and daughter through biography, beautifully weaving their narratives for the first time.'' Amanda ForemanEnglish feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and author Mary Shelley were mother and daughter, yet these two extraordinary women never knew one another. Nevertheless, their passionate and pioneering lives remained closely intertwined, their choices, dreams and tragedies eerily similar. Both women became famous writers and wrote books that changed literary history, had passionate relationships with several men, were single mothers out of wedlock; both lived in exile, fought for their position in society, and interrogated ideas of how we should live. Romantic Outlaws takes the reader on a vivid journey across revolutionary France and Victorian England to explore in this ground-breaking dual biography of the author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and the author who wrote Frankenstein - mother and daughter - a pair of visionary women, who should have shared a life, but who instead share a powerful literary and feminist legacy.

Javier Marías (nar. 1951) patří k největším objevům nastupující spisovatelské generace ve Španělsku. Vycházet začal v polovině 80. let a mezinárodní věhlas mu přinesly dva romány z 90. let. Román Vzpomínej na mě zítra při bitvě vtáhne čtenáře do děje již první větou. Na pozadí napínavého příběhu autor rozebírá takové aspekty lidského života jako možnost volby, roli náhody, zaměnitelnost lidí a rolí, jež hrají navzájem ve svých osudech. Má velký pozorovací talent, pokud jde o chování a vztahy lidí, a výjimečný dar jazyka, umocněný zkušeností lingvisty a překladatale. Název je citátem z Richarda III., který se opakuje jako hlavní motiv. "Vzpomínej na mě zítra při bitvě," říká duch královny Anny Richardovi. V Maríasově románu se jedná o ženu, která zemře, když se chystá k nevěře s málo známým mužem. Téměř neznámý milenec se tak ocitá v podivné situaci, musí řešit spoustu otázek: Co s malým dítětem v bytě? Má informovat manžela? Snaží se o mrtvé dozvědět víc, postupně se seznamuje s celou rodinou, a vůbec netuší, co ho na konci pátrání čeká.
