A New York Times Best New Historical Novel of 2021 Potent... fast-paced... - The New York Times Book Review Wonderfully imagined and wonderfully written . . . Superb! -- Lee ChildPart Wolf Hall, part The Name of the Rose, a riveting new literary thriller set in Restoration London, with a cast of real historic figures, set against the actual historic events and intrigues of the returned king and his court … The City of London, 1678. New Year’s Day. Twelve years have passed since the Great Fire ripped through the City. Eighteen since the fall of Oliver Cromwell and the restoration of a King. London is gripped by hysteria, and rumors of Catholic plots and sinister foreign assassins abound. When the body of a young boy drained of his blood is discovered on the snowy bank of the Fleet River, Robert Hooke, the Curator of Experiments at the just-formed Royal Society for Improving Natural Knowledge, and his assistant Harry Hunt, are called in to explain such a ghastly finding—and whether it s part of a plot against the king. They soon learn it is not the first bloodless boy to have been discovered. Meanwhile, that same morning Henry Oldenburg, the Secretary of the Royal Society, blows his brains out, and a disgraced Earl is released from the Tower of London, bent on revenge against the King, Charles II. Wary of the political hornet’s nest they are walking into – and using scientific evidence rather than paranoia in their pursuit of truth – Hooke and Hunt must discover why the boy was murdered, and why his blood was taken. The Bloodless Boy is an absorbing literary thriller that introduces two new indelible heroes to historical crime fiction. It is also a powerfully atmospheric recreation of the darkest corners of Restoration London, where the Court and the underworld seem to merge, even as the light of scientific inquiry is starting to emerge …

Yorùbá Boy Running charts Samuel Ajayi Crowther s miraculous journey from slave to liberator, boy to man, running to resisting Run, Àjàyí, run! The day the Malian slave traders invaded the Nigerian town of Òsogùn, thirteen-year-old Àjàyí s life was split in two.Before, there was his childhood, surrounded by friends and family, watched over by the ancient Yorùbá gods of forest and water, earth and sky. After: capture, slavery - and release, into the service of a new god, his own culture left far behind. So Àjàyí becomes Samuel Crowther - missionary, linguist, minister - and abolitionist: driven to negotiate against his own people to end the miserable trade in human beings which destroyed his family.Drawing on the prolific writings of Samuel Ajayi Crowther, Biyi Bándélé has created a many-voiced, kaleidoscopic portrait of an extraordinary man. From the heart-stopping drama of Àjàyí s last day of freedom to the farcical intrigue of the Òsogùn court; from a meeting with Queen Victoria; to his consecration as the first African Bishop of the Anglican Church, his journey, like all great odysseys, circles back to where he began. By turns witty, moving and quietly political, Biyi Bándélé s reimagining of Crowther s life is a brilliant tour de force.

Kniha - autor Jakub König, 264 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Román z propastiObyvatelé nového světa okolo Propasti se krčí v posvátné hrůze před bohyněmi, které prý během dávné katastrofy smetly většinu lidstva z povrchu zdecimované planety.Jediným pramenem vědění je kniha Babel, ovšem jejím nejasným náznakům nejspíš nerozumí ani učitelé, kteří znovu a znovu opakují dětem nedůvěryhodné báchorky. Jisté je jen to, že na výraz díků Matce Propasti je do jejího chřtánu každých třicet šest dní vhozen stařičký dobrovolník. Nikdo toto pravidlo nezpochybňuje. Ani dospívající kluk Key, který se svou početnou rodinou obývá čtvrť zvanou Mnohodvůr.Na rozdíl od svých sourozenců Key v ničem nevyniká, dokonce nedovede roztočit své vřeteno, předmět, který vlastní každý z Mnohodvora. Přesto je Key vtažen do nečekaného dobrodružství, ve kterém kousek po kousku porozumí podstatě nového světa.Vřeteno je fantaskní dystopický román. Je to proměna mladého hocha v...

Roman Ráž – to jsou básně, povídky, novely, romány, a možná hlavně divadelní a rozhlasové hry. Autor, jehož poetika koření v novátorské dynamice šedesátých let a dozrává v otevřeném prostoru porevolučních dekád, nepíše, aby psal, ale aby podal zprávu. O základní situaci člověka dvacátého století: o jeho slastech i strastech, o jeho slabosti i síle, o jeho minulosti, přítomnosti a možná i budoucnosti. Tragédii tu vyvažuje groteska a existenciální se stává nakonec esenciálním. U velkého spisovatele nelze jinak.

The language contact of the inflectional Romani and Spanish, Catalan and other languages of the Iberian Peninsula began in the first half of the 15th century. The long-term and immediate contact between Romani and the language of the majority in several locations in Europe resulted in the emergence of what are known as the Para-Romani varieties - mixed languages which predominantly make use of the grammar of the surrounding language, while at least partly retaining the Romani-derived vocabulary. In the Iberian Peninsula, several Para-Romani varieties emerged. The process of their phonological, morphological and lexical evolution from the inflectional Iberian Romani is described in this book. In the opinion of the author, the original form of the Iberian Romani of the 15th century was similar to the Early Romani of the Byzantine period, which is thought to have ended by the 14th century when the Romani language started to disperse throughout Europe. The influence of Spanish (and other languages of the Iberian Peninsula) is evident not only in the morphology and syntax, but also in the phonology and semantics of the Iberian Para-Romani varieties. On the other hand, the Romani elements preserved in these varieties show conservative features as well as specific innovations, many of which can hardly be attributed to language contact. The description of the Iberian Para-Romani varieties is based on an extensive body of language material dated between the 17th and 21st centuries and also draws attention to some language phenomena in these varieties which, until now, have not previously been described.
