A brilliant modern translation by Christine Donougher of Victor Hugo's thrilling masterpiece, with an introduction by Robert Tombs. This is the best translation of the novel available in English, as recommended by David Bellos in The Novel of the Century. Victor Hugo's tale of injustice, heroism and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him.But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience, and by the relentless investigations of the dogged policeman Javert. It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, driven to prostitution by poverty. 'A magnificent achievement.It reads easily, sometimes racily, and Hugo's narrative power is never let down ... An almost flawless translation, which brings the full flavour of one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century to new readers in the twenty-first' - William Doyle, Times Literary Supplement 'The year's most interesting publication from Penguin Classics was [...] a new translation by Christine Donougher of the novel we all know as Les Miserables. You may think that 1,300 pages is a huge investment of time when the story is so familiar, but no adaptation can convey the addictive pleasure afforded by Victor Hugo's narrative voice: by turns chatty, crotchety, buoyant and savagely ironical, it's made to seem so contemporary and fresh in Donougher's rendering that the book has all the resonance of the most topical state-of-the-nation novel' - Telegraph 'Christine Donougher's seamless and very modern translation of Les Miserables has an astonishing effect in that it reminds readers that Hugo was going further than any Dickensian lament about social conditions [...]The Wretched touches the soul' - Herald Scotland

Audiokniha: Audioknižní událost sezóny. Legendární román francouzského klasika se dočkal mnoha filmových i muzikálových verzí. Hlavní postavu Jeana Valjeana si zahráli například Jean Gabin, Lino Ventura nebo Jean-Paul Belmondo. Ale pouze odvážný čtenář, který vzal do ruky velkolepý Hugův epos ví, že Bídníci nejsou jen Valjean a osudy jeho schovanky. Autor v díle, které má v českém překladu 1565 stran vyznává lásku milované Paříži, dopodrobna rozebírá bitvu u Waterloo, pařížské podzemí, příčiny a důsledky francouzské revoluce a její vliv na další osudy celého světa. Předpovídá velkou světovou válku a její důsledky, díky kterým během 20 let vypukne válka druhá, ještě mnohem zrůdnější. I více než 160 let od prvního vydání se tak jeho dílo jeví až orwellovsky přesným a aktuálním. V působivém podání Jana Vlasáka se Bídníci stávají srozumitelným průvodcem historií. Mnohem více a přehledněji, než několik učebnicí dějepisu najednou. Významnou složkou audioknihy je i originální hudební doprovod multiinstrumentalisty Ravena.

V devatenáctém století se na těžké galeje mohl dostat třeba člověk, který zcizil bochník obyčejného chleba. Pokud se z nucených prací pokusil uprchnout, za kus pečiva pak musel v nelidských podmínkách lámat kámen víc než dvacet let. Takový byl i smutný osud Jeana Valjeana. Po propuštění z vězení se proto rozhodl být ochráncem těch nejchudších a nejslabších, jenže minulost kriminálníka a fanatický policejní úředník Javert jsou mu neustále v patách… Bídníci jsou asi nejznámějším francouzským románem všech dob. Ačkoliv se jedná o kritiku tehdejší společnosti a její povrchní morálky, i dnešní čtenář s překvapením zjistí, že se od „Valjeanových a Javertových dob“ v řadě ohledů až tak moc nezměnilo.

Audiokniha: Román Les Misérables napsal a v roce 1862 nechal vydat Victor Hugo. V českém překladu se zcela zažil název Bídníci, byť k tématu knihy by se spíše hodil pozdější překlad Marie Majerové, která hlavní hrdiny nazvala Ubožáky. Zaslouží si totiž spíše naši lítost než opovržení: navzdory veškeré své snaze a lidským kvalitám totiž v jejich světě není možné odčinit jediný hřích mládí. Hlavní postavou ve spleti figur a figurek Hugova dodnes známého románu je trestanec Jean Valjean, původně klestič stromu. Ten se z nouze vloupá do domu, aby ukradl bochník chleba. Je chycen a zavřen na pět let na galeje. Tím je na celý život ocejchován, svůj trest si navíc prodlouží neustálými pokusy o útěk. Když je konečně propuštěn, má již své nejlepší roky dávno za sebou a výsledkem justiční „převýchovy“ je zhrublý a drsný muž, kterého změní až setkání s biskupem Myrielem, který mu bez podmínek a vřele nabídne pohostinství a neudá jej ani v okamžiku, kdy mu Valjean ukradne stříbrné příbory. Bývalý trestanec se pod vlivem této příhody rozhodne žít lepší život – rameno spravedlnosti je však nelítostné a na nic se neohlíží. Ať žije Valjean sebectnostněji, stále má v patách komisaře Javerta…

Bývalý trestanec, odsouzený za krádež bochníku chleba k těžkému žaláři, přijme pohostinství biskupa Myriela a okrade jej. Biskup však ani poté Valjeana nezavrhne a tento skutek zcela promění Valjeanův život. Někdejší galejník se rozhodne nezištně pomáhat ostatním. Stane se váženým členem společnosti, a posléze dokonce starostou, ukrývajícím se pod jménem Madeleine. Ujme se osiřelé dívky Cosetty, jejíž matce, nucené živit se i prostitucí, slíbí, že se o Cosettu postará. Minulost však Valjeana stále dohání a ten nepřestává být pronásledován komisařem Javertem. Román je úchvatnou společenskou freskou, barvitým vylíčením Paříže 30. let 19. století s jejími tajemnými zákoutími, kláštery a dvorky, plnými lidského utrpení a zoufalství.Bídníci IIKniha je pokračováním příběhu polepšeného trestance Jeana Valjeana. Ten se spolu s Cosettou, která časem vyrostla v krásnou mladou ženu, věnuje i nadále dobročinnosti. Valjean je však stále pronásledován inspektorem Javertem. Osudy Cosetty i Valjeana se v tomto díle protnou s příběhem studenta práv Mariem Pontmercym. Velkou lásku mezi ním a Cosettou bude komplikovat řada nedorozumění, houstnoucí atmosféra v Paříži a také boj na barikádách. Kritikou sociální nespravedlnosti a vírou v to, že člověk může svojí láskou a soucitem společenskou nespravedlnost překonat, oslovil Victor Hugo generace čtenářů a je pro nás inspirací dodnes.Monumentální a nesmrtelný román Bídníci je považován za jedno ze stěžejních literárních děl 19. století a dočkal se řady filmových nebo i muzikálových zpracování.

Fenomenální francouzský výtvarník Georges Bess završil svou volnou trilogii rozmáchlých komiksových adaptací klasických literárních děl. Po Draculovi a Frankensteinovi sáhl lehce mimo nejstarší zdroje fantastických literárních žánrů a zvolil slavný román Victora Huga Chrám Matky Boží v Paříži. I když však nejde o fantastiku, tento román nabízí stejně spektakulární obrazové možnosti, ať už jde o gotickou architekturu, bizarní postavy nebo kolorit středověké Paříže - a Bess toho využil naplno a úchvatně. Nesmrtelný příběh Quasimoda a Esmeraldy v jeho podání našel zobrazení a výklad, jaký při vší úctě přesahuje možnosti kinematografie, protože využívá způsobů vyjádření, jakými vládne právě jen komiksové médium.

Robinson has masterfully traced a sense of wonder back to its ancient, remarkable source'' JULIAN COMAN, OBSERVER''Reading Genesis is alive with questions of kindness, community and how to express what we so often struggle to put into words'' NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINEFor generations, the Book of Genesis, included in its entirety here, has been treated by scholars as a collection of documents by various hands, expressing different factional interests, with borrowings from other ancient literatures that mark the text as derivative. In other words, academic interpretation of Genesis has centered on the question of its basic coherence, just as fundamentalist interpretation has centered on the question of the appropriateness of reading it as literally true.Marilynne Robinson''s approach is different. Hers is one of an appreciation of Genesis for its greatness as literature, for its rich articulation and exploration of themes that resonate through the whole of Scripture. She illuminates the importance of the stories of, among others, Adam and Eve; Noah and his ark; the rivalry of Cain and Abel; and the father and son drama of Abraham and Isaac, to consider the profound meanings and promise of God''s enduring covenant with humankind. Her magisterial book radiates gratitude for the constancy and benevolence of God''s abiding faith in Creation.

And why is it so important to make space for these conversations in the first place?In a career spanning almost three decades, English teacher Carol Atherton has taught generations of students texts that will be familiar to many of us from our own schooldays.

This study of the history of reading goes from the earliest examples of the clay tablets and cuneiform of ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt via the invention of printing in the 15th century to the birth of a mass reading public and today's digital revolution. It argues that it is the demands and expectations of the reader, acting alongside the creative will of the writer, that is the evolutionary motor of literary forms and genres. From man's first use of the written word simply as a form of reference, to the emergence of the first holy or devotional texts, and onto the development of fictions, both poetic and novelistic, this work aims to both challenge and enlighten.

From the bestselling author of UNDERLAND, THE OLD WAYS and THE LOST WORDS - an essay on the joy of reading, for anyone who has ever loved a bookEvery book is a kind of gift to its reader, and the act of giving books is charged with a special emotional resonance. It is a meeting of three minds (the giver, the author, the recipient), an exchange of intellectual and psychological currency, that leaves each participant enriched. Here Robert Macfarlane recounts the story of a book he was given as a young man, and how he managed eventually to return the favour, though never repay the debt.From one of the most lyrical writers of our time comes a perfectly formed gem, a lyrical celebration of the transcendent power and humanity of the given book.
