Thom Gunn has been described as ‘one of the most singular and compelling poets in English during the past half-century’ (TLS). This Selected Poems, compiled by his friend Clive Wilmer and accompanied by insightful notes, is the first edition to represent the full arc of Gunn’s inimitable career. ‘The poetry of Thom Gunn was much admired in his lifetime, and at the same time often misunderstood and underestimated. The scale of his achievement, and its uniqueness – a masterful Elizabethan lyric poet writing in the second half of the twentieth century – is just now becoming properly appreciated. Anonymous in voice, even in the service of the most intimate subject matter, acute in observation, particularly the urban experience, with San Francisco the principal site, Gunn is not merely the poet of the druggy ’60s in California or the plague of the AIDS epidemic, but of the deeper-running themes, shared by Shakespeare, Baudelaire, William Carlos Williams and all his greatest exemplars, of the artist’s moral and imaginative engagement with the world as it actually is, in the broadest possible sense, not as contemporary fashion might have it be. Which strikes me, who knew and loved the man and poet, as a kind of heroism.’ August Kleinzahler‘Thom Gunn smuggled the lyric tradition out of post-war Britain, and gave it cool, gracious renaissance in California. His poetry evokes the wild life of the body with madrigal-like elegance.’ Fiona Sampson‘Gunn’s work illustrates with unusual clarity some of the debates poetry in English has pursued in [the twentieth] century – form versus improvisation, diction versus talk, the American way versus the English tradition, even, at times, authenticity versus art. To contain these contradictory impulses and . . . to have generated a body of work which anybody wanting to understand the period and identify some of its best poems will find essential reading – this is quite an achievement.’ Sean O’Brien

Hudební CD - Debut Thoma Artwaye bez debat aspiruje na albové překvapení roku. Vyzrálý pěvecký projev, pregnantně vystavěné písně, instrumentální zručnost a technická kvalita alba vzbuzuje v posluchači pochyby, zda jde skutečně o domácí nahrávku.

A celebration of the Radiohead albums Kid A and Amnesiac, this book showcases more than 300 color artworks. It features a dialogue between Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood about the creative process and a specially commissioned essay, Kid Alphabet by Gareth Evans about Radiohead’s body of work.Whilst these records were being conceived, rehearsed, recorded and produced, Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood made hundreds of images. These ranged from obsessive, insomniac scrawls in biro to six-foot-square painted canvases, from scissors-and-glue collages to immense digital landscapes. They utilized every medium they could find, from sticks and knives to the emerging digital technologies.The work chronicles their obsessions at the time: minotaurs, genocide, maps, globalization, monsters, pylons, dams, volcanoes, locusts, lightning, helicopters, Hiroshima, show homes and ring roads. What emerges is a deeply strange portrait of the years at the commencement of this century. A time that seems an age ago–but so much remains the same.This is the first book from Radiohead of their artwork. It is publishing alongside a book of lyrics and scribblings, Fear Stalks the Land!Kid A Mnesia is a 240 x 189mm hardback with a paper case cover printed in 5 colors on uncoated stock with debossing on the front and spine and a specially designed, peelable sticker.

With an illuminating new preface by Colm Tóibín, here is Thom Gunn''s extraordinary memorial to love, life and death in the time of the AIDS crisisThe Man With Night Sweats, originally published in 1992, sees Thom Gunn writing at the height of his powers. The collection begins with poems that celebrate love and sex and bodies – whether the exuberance of a swimming otter, the nimble moves of a tow-headed skateboarder or the habituated coming together of two old lovers. In devastating contrast, the poems in the last section are unflinching portraits and accounts of the illness and deaths of friends during the AIDS epidemic. Written out of a lifetime’s experience of perfecting his art, these poems are unsurpassed in elegiac intensity and among the most poignant responses to those terrible times.''Gunn has risen to his inescapable new subject with verse of quiddity, depth and terrible truthfulness.'' Financial Times''Elegies as unblinking and heartfelt as anything he has written.'' The Times

Konečně vychází první německý překlad populárního černého románu Vítězslava Nezvala. Mladá Valerie prožívá své dospívání jako pohádkovou báseň o upírech a zázračných zahradách. Hrdinně proniká tajemnými sklepeními, zachraňuje svého milovaného jinocha, mění se v obláček a uniká před upálením na hranici. Svazek obsahuje německý doslov o poetismu a surealismu, o paralelách Valerie s Nezvalovou autobiografickou knížkou Sexuální Nocturno a o vlivu „černých románů“ 19. století. Karla Cikánová přispěla decentně surrealistickými ilustracemi Endlich erscheint die erste deutsche Übersetzung des populären Schauerromans von Vítězslav Nezval. Die junge Valerie erlebt ihr Erwachsenwerden wie ein Märchengedicht über Vampire und zauberhafte Gärten. Heldenhaft dringt sie durch geheimnisvolle Kellergewölbe, rettet ihren geliebten Jüngling, verwandelt sich in ein Wölkchen und flieht vor dem Feuertod auf dem Scheiterhaufen. Der Band enthält ein Nachwort über den Poetismus und den Surrealismus, über die Parallelen des vorliegenden Romans zu Nezvals autobiographischem Büchlein Sexuelles Nocturno und über den Einfluss der Schauerromane des 19. Jahrhunderts. Vítězslav Nezval (1900–1958), einer der einflussreichsten tschechischen Dichter der Zwischenkriegszeit, war Mitbegründer des Poetismus und der tschechoslowakischen Surrealistischen Gruppe. Der vorliegende Roman, verfasst 1935, publiziert 1945, diente 1970 als Vorlage für den berühmten gleichnamigen Film von Jaromil Jireš.

A fascinating compendium showcasing the extraordinary wonders of the birds that share our world through exquisite ornithological illustrations, prints and drawings. We share the Earth with more than 10,000 species of birds and we have always been enchanted by them. Here, over 60 birds, organized thematically into eight sections, cover all aspects of our relationship with birds.‘Songbirds’ celebrates the greatest bird virtuosi, such as the Nightingale, while ‘Birds of Prey’ include majestic hunters such as the Harpy Eagle, which catches prey as large as monkeys and sloths. ‘Feathered Travellers’ describes astounding journeys made by birds – even some tiny Hummingbirds migrate huge distances. ‘The Love Life of Birds’ can rival any soap opera and involves the most brilliant displays, notably the Birds of Paradise, with their extravagant feathers and dances.‘Avian Cities’ explores species such as the Flamingo that live in spectacular large colonies. ‘Useful to Us’ examines the ways we find birds of value, such as the Turkey, but also the Canary. ‘Threatened and Extinct’ describes some no longer living and others that seem on the brink.Birds have also had great mystical significance, both for good and evil, and ‘Revered and Adored’ considers such species as the Sacred Ibis, believed by the ancient Egyptians to represent the god Thoth. For anyone interested in the natural world and the wonderful variety of birds around us, this beautifully illustrated book is a visual treat that will inspire, inform and delight.

From the shock of hearing of his sister''s death and the immediate aftermath to the multiple criminal trials before the guilty verdict was delivered, David provides a unique insight into some of the issues faced by victim’s families in the aftermath of fatal domestic violence.

This is a tribute to her life, and a journey no reader will soon forget.

Birds are astonishingly intelligent creatures. In fact, according to revolutionary new research, some birds rival primates and even humans in their remarkable forms of intelligence. Like humans, many birds have enormous brains relative to their size. Although small, bird brains are packed with neurons that allow them to punch well above their weight.In The Genius of Birds, acclaimed author Jennifer Ackerman explores the newly discovered brilliance of birds and how it came about. As she travels around the world to the most cutting-edge frontiers of research - the distant laboratories of Barbados and New Caledonia, the great tit communities of the United Kingdom and the bowerbird habitats of Australia, the ravaged mid-Atlantic coast after Hurricane Sandy and the warming mountains of central Virginia and the western states - Ackerman not only tells the story of the recently uncovered genius of birds but also delves deeply into the latest findings about the bird brain itself that are revolutionizing our view of what it means to be intelligent.Consider, as Ackerman does, the Clark''s nutcracker, a bird that can hide as many as 30,000 seeds over dozens of square miles and remember where it put them several months later; the mockingbirds and thrashers, species that can store 200 to 2,000 different songs in a brain a thousand times smaller than ours; the well-known pigeon, which knows where it''s going, even thousands of miles from familiar territory; and the New Caledonian crow, an impressive bird that makes its own tools.But beyond highlighting how birds use their unique genius in technical ways, Ackerman points out the impressive social smarts of birds. They deceive and manipulate. They eavesdrop. They display a strong sense of fairness. They give gifts. They play keep-away and tug-of-war. They tease. They share. They cultivate social networks. They vie for status. They kiss to console one another. They teach their young. They blackmail their parents. They alert one another to danger. They summon witnesses to the death of a peer. They may even grieve.This elegant scientific investigation and travelogue weaves personal anecdotes with fascinating science. Ackerman delivers an extraordinary story that will both give readers a new appreciation for the exceptional talents of birds and let them discover what birds can reveal about our changing world.

With stories of birds from around the world-from broad-winged hawks that migrate south together in the fall, tree swallows that roost together in the thousands, and tropical anis that nest in communes-The Social Lives of Birds explores the different kinds of bird groups and what to look for when watching them. Above all, it reveals that solitary life, it seems, is not for the birds.''Delightful and informative'' - Lee Dugatkin, author of How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog)

This must-have sequel to the bestselling parody book The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America proves that all birds are fascinating, wonderful, idiotic jerks—no matter where in the world they reside. "Full of NSFW names and descriptions for different species that'll have you LOL-ing even if you never actually go looking for said birds IRL."—Buzzfeed Following in the tracks of the first uproarious and beloved bird book in the series, this hilarious sequel ventures beyond to identify the stupidest birds around the world. Featuring birds from North and South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, author Matt Kracht identifies the dumb birds that manage to live all over the freaking place with snarky yet accurate names and humorous, anger-filled drawings. Offering a balance of fact and wit, this uproarious profanity-laden handbook will appeal to hardcore birders and casual bird lovers (and haters) alike. ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL: This laugh-out-loud funny spoof guide to all things wings includes a matching game, a bird descriptor checklist, and tips on how to identify a bird (you can tell a lot by looking into a bird's eyes, for example). Plus, each entry is accompanied by facts about a bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its (downright tacky) markings, and more. POPULAR AUTHOR: Matt Kracht is an amateur birder, writer, and illustrator who enjoys creating books that celebrate the humor inherent in life's absurdities. Based in Seattle, he enjoys gazing out the window at the beautiful waters of Puget Sound and making fun of birds. Other amusing titles from Matt include The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America and OMFG, BEES! A GREAT PRESENT: This is the perfect gift for the bird lovers and haters in your life. It also makes a great Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthday, retirement, or gag gift.Perfect for: Birdwatching and nature enthusiasts People who think birds are creepy or annoying (and people who love birds but also enjoy a good laugh) Anyone looking for the ultimate coffee table book or bar-top conversation starter Gift givers seeking a fun, quirky gift for their favorite bird enthusiast or animal lover

Kniha - autor Ester Krumbachová; Vítězslav Nezval, 278 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá První souborné vydání surrealistického románu Vítězslava Nezvala (1945) a nedávno objevené filmové povídky Ester Krumbachové (1967), mimořádně působivé literární předlohy legendárního snímku Jaromila Jireše - Valerie a týden divů (1970). Valerie a týden divů je příběhem, který je možné přečíst za odpoledne a se stejným zaujetím se k němu zas a znovu vracet. Na ploše sedmi dní přibližuje svět dospívající dívky, v němž si realita podává ruku se snem, řád s chaosem, vysoké s nízkým, krutost s něhou. Je zprávou o světě pudů a vášní, lascivní vyzývavosti, necudnosti, náznaků, polopravd a tajemství. O světě, který se neustále proměňuje a který je i přes veškerou poetičnost až mrazivě skutečný. Valerie je ozvěnou lidové, „krvákové“ literatury, obžalobou průměrnosti a licoměrnosti, syrovou radostí z vyprávění, rebelií vůči morálce i (s)vědomí, hýřivou oslavou...
