The matchless Munro makes art out of everyday lives in this exquisite short story collection.**WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JONATHAN FRANZEN**Here are men and women of wildly different times and circumstances, their lives made vividly palpable by the nuance and empathy of Munro s writing. Runaway is about the power and betrayals of love, about lost children, lost chances. There is pain and desolation beneath the surface, like a needle in the heart, which makes these stories more powerful and compelling than anything she has written before.â ˜The way to do it justice is to read it. Read Munro!â ™ Jonathan Franzenâ ˜These stories are breathtaking - they leave you winded with their toughness and brillianceâ ™ GuardianWinner of the Nobel Prize in LiteratureWinner of the Man Booker International Prize 2009

Osm nových povídek přední kanadské prozaičky se důvěrně známým, a přece pokaždé fascinujícím způsobem věnuje především tématu lásky a vášně a s nimi spojených radostných i tragických životních zvratů. Mladé protagonistce titulní prózy, toužící opustit panovačného manžela, ale nakonec neschopné učinit osudový životní krok, nezkušené venkovské dívce vstupující do světa dospělých a zasažené poznáním mezí milostného citu i dalším autorčiným hrdinkám je souzeno zakusit nejen sílu milenecké či rodičovské lásky, ale také bolest, jakou její důsledky dokážou způsobit jejich blízkým i jim samotným. Tak jako v předchozích dvou knihách, i v nové sbírce nepřestává Munroová uchvacovat schopností citlivě vylíčit složitý vnitřní svět svých hrdinek a jejich příběhy, jež svou živostí tolik připomínají naše vlastní osudy.

Každá povídka Alice Munroové je jako rozlehlé sídlo s mnoha místnostmi. A každý pokoj tohoto sídla je dokonale zařízený nábytkem a prodchnutý osobností tamních obyvatel. Je tu žena, která se po milování pohádá se svým milencem, a najednou se ocitá na hraně okamžiku, který pro vztah může znamenat absolutní konec, anebo jen začátek další etapy. Je tu dívka, která kvůli nehezké tváři a postavě platí chlapcům, aby se s ní vyspali, což se rychle obrátí proti ní, když ji začnou vydírat. Je tu vdova, která přijíždí na skotskou vrchovinu, a zjišťuje, že její manžel byl možná někým docela jiným, než si celý život myslela. Možná. To slovo je v tvorbě držitelky Nobelovy ceny Alice Munroové podstatné, její příběhy nejsou jednoznačné. Jsou plné náznaků, nedořečených věcí a tutlaných tajemství. Náhody, nečekaná setkání i všední události se v jejím nesentimentálním podání proměňují v tajemné komnaty lidských osudů.

After Alice by Gregory Maguire, the bestselling author of WICKED, is a wonderful retelling of what happened next after Alice disappeared down the rabbit hole. An entertaining spin on Lewis Caroll s classic tale of Alice in Wonderland, this novel will delight fans of Angela Carter. When Alice fell down the rabbit-hole, she found Wonderland as rife with inconsistent rules and abrasive egos as the world she left behind. But how did Victorian Oxford react to Alice s disappearance?Gregory Maguire turns his imagination to the question of underworlds, undergrounds, underpinnings -and understandings old and new, offering an inventive spin on Carroll s enduring tale. Ada, a friend mentioned briefly in Alice s Adventures in Wonderland, sets out to visit Alice but, arriving a moment too late, tumbles down the rabbit-hole herself. Ada brings to Wonderland her own imperfect apprehension of cause and effect as she embarks on an odyssey to find Alice and bring her safely home from this surreal world below the world. The White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat and the bloodthirsty Queen of Hearts interrupt their mad tea party to suggest a conundrum: if Eurydice can ever be returned to the arms of Orpheus, or if Lazarus can be raised from the tomb, perhaps Alice can be returned to life. Either way, everything that happens next is After Alice.

For the first time in print, well-known spiritual teacher A.H. Almaas presents the highest level and most profound teachings of the Diamond Approach on the true nature of reality and the path to enlightenment. For more than thirty years, A.H. Almaas hasbeen developing and teaching the Diamond Approach, a spiritual path of self-realization and maturity based on an original synthesis of modern discoveries in the field of psychology and a new paradigm about spiritual nature. If we can say the Diamond Approach has a goal it is to realize the truth at progressively deeper levels until one reaches the ultimate Truth, the Absolute, and to become integrated into that truth so that we are a living presence and embodiment of that truth. The teachings of this path have been unfolding over time, and Runaway Realization presents--for the first time in print--the highest level of teachings in the Diamond Approach in the most profound work by Almaas so far. In this book, Almaas offers a detailed look at the true nature of reality and the nature of enlightenment. He also talks about practice--what it is and what it isn t, and how practice relates to the process of realization. He looks at what it is to be a human being and what our role is in the totality of the universe. The material includes a discussion of the nature of space and time, as well as a view of more and more subtle levels of realization --

I wrote to Macmillan to suggest a new idea: a Nursery Edition of Alice with pictures printed in. – Lewis Carroll s diary, 15th February 1881The Nursery Alice, originally published by Macmillan Co. in 1890, was the very first colour edition of Alice s Adventures in Wonderland. It was intended, wrote Carroll, to be read by Children aged from Nought to Five. To be read? Nay, not so! Say rather to be thumbed, to be cooed over, to be dogs -eared, to be rumpled, to be kissed . . . With this new, younger readership in mind, Carroll rewrote Alice himself, simplifying and abridging the original text, while Sir John Tenniel redrew, enlarged and coloured twenty of his iconic illustrations (with Alice in a yellow dress to reflect the 1890s craze for yellow!). The resulting book is a delightfully engaging experience; readers prompted to interact not only with the story but also with the images and even the physical book itself, in a way that is thoroughly modern.Gloriously reproduced by Macmillan, the original publishers of both Lewis Carroll s Alice books, this edition retains every word of the original The Nursery Alice and restores the exquisite delicacy of Tenniel s artwork - lost in reproductions across the decades - along with the delightful cover artwork by Emily Gertrude Thomson. This gem of a book is the perfect introduction to Alice, and a delight for child and adult readers alike.

Un exclusivo estuche que reúne los dos clásicos de Lewis Carroll: Alicia en el país de las maravillas y A través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró allí. Alicia en el país de las maravillas Estás a punto de entrar en el mundo de Alicia, el más extrano y asombroso, disparatado e insólito que hayas conocido. En este mundo, los gatos desaparecen sonrientes, las reinas tienen ejércitos de naipes, los conejos visten chaleco y te apremian para que los sigas. Y si los sigues, caerás por el agujero de su madriguera… Hasta el País de las Maravillas. Allí, las reglas que conocemos no funcionan; en el País de las Maravillas todo tiene su lógica particular. La hora del té no acaba nunca, Tiempo es un senor que se enfada si no sigues el compás cuando cantas y las lágrimas pueden llegar a formar un mar. Desde su publicación, Alicia en el país de las maravillas ha fascinado a lectores como tú. A través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró allí Concebida como una partida de ajedrez, donde cada elemento se convierte en una casilla y cada personaje en una pieza, en A través del espejo Alicia es un peón con aspiraciones de convertirse en reina. Como en Alicia en el país de las maravillas, en esta segunda entrega, hallamos, si cabe, aún más disparatadas aventuras, juegos de palabras y situaciones absurdas que presentan un mundo en el que nada es lo que parece o como debiera ser.

It’s opening night, but Alice’s performance in the local Bay Area production of The Winter’s Tale is far from glamorous. She doesn’t have dreams of stardom, but the basement theater in a wildfire-choked town isn’t exactly what she envisioned for her career back home in Los Angeles.To make matters worse, her best friend Sadie is not even coming. Pragmatic, serious Sadie and flighty, creative Alice have been best friends since high school—really one another’s only friends—but now that they are through with college (which they attended together) and living on opposite ends of California, Alice would at least expect her friend’s support. Sadie, determined not to cancel her plans with her boyfriend, ends up enlisting the help of her mother, Celine.A professor of women’s and gender studies at UC Berkeley, Celine’s landmark treatise on sex and identity made her notorious, but she’s struggling to write her new book in a post-second-wave feminist world. So, when Sadie begs her to attend Alice’s play, she relents, if only to escape writer’s block. But in a turn of perplexing events, Celine becomes entranced by Alice’s performance and realizes that her daughter’s once lanky, slightly annoying best friend is now an irresistible young woman.Set over the course of decades—from Alice and Sadie’s early friendship days and Celine’s decision to leave her husband to the radical movements of 1990s Berkeley and navigating contemporary Hollywood—Alice and Celine’s affair will test the limits of their love for Sadie and their own beliefs of power, agency, and feminism. Witty and relatable, sexy and surprising, Sarah Blakley-Cartwright’s debut adult novel is a mesmerizing portrait of the inner lives of three very different women.
