I look at all of Carver s work as just one story, for his stories are all occurences, all about things that just happen to people and cause their lives to take a turn... In formulating the mosaic of the film Short Cuts, which is based on these nine stories and a poem, Lemonade , I ve tried to do the same thing- to give the audience one look... But it all began here. I was a reader turning these pages. Trying on these lives - Robert Altman in his introduction.

Raymond Carver said it was possible to write about commonplace things and objects using commonplace but precise language and endow these things - a chair, a window curtain, a fork, a stone, a woman s earring - with immense, even startling power . Nowhere is this alchemy more striking than in the title story of Cathedral in which a blind man guides the hand of a sighted man as together they draw the cathedral the blind man can never see. Many view this story, and indeed this collection, as a watershed in the maturing of Carver s work to a more confidently poetic style.

Výbor z poezie s doslovem a básněmi Tess Gallagherové, autorovy druhé manželky. Americký spisovatel R. Carver (1939-1988) proslul především jako autor povídek, s nimiž se už český čtenář měl možnost seznámit. Sám Carver si však více než povídek cenil své básnické tvorby, které se průběžně věnoval po celou svou spisovatelskou kariéru. Básně mapují vnější i vnitřní události Carverova soukromého života - rozporuplný vztah k matce, otci, první ženě a dětem, boj se závislostí na alkoholu, zážitky z cest po světě a rybářských výprav, hluboký vztah ke druhé ženě Tess, boj s rakovinou a smíření se smrtí. Podobně jako v povídkách, tak i v básních ještě ve větší zkratce dokáže povýšit banální životní okamžik na moment čehosi posvátného.

Takto by se v roce 1981 jmenovala a takto by vypadala druhá velká Carverova sbírka, kdyby ji redaktor Gordon Lish autorovi neseškrtal, nepřepsal a nepřejmenoval na O čem mluvíme, když mluvíme o lásce . Zachovala se korespondence obou pánu, ze které vyplývá, že se Carver velmi snažil své dílo uhájit, ale nebylo mu to nic platné: Lish mu z některých povídek vyhodil čtyři pětiny textu. Carver (1938-1988) ještě za svého života některé původní verze vydal, ale v úplnosti nyní přepsané povídky vycházejí poprvé.

These seven stories were the last that Carver wrote. Among them is one of his longest, Errand , in which he imagines the death of Chekhov, a writer Carver hugely admired and to whose work his own was often compared. This fine story suggests that the greatest of modern short-story writers may, in the year before his untimely death, have been flexing his muscles for a longer work.

Třetím svazkem pětidílného českého vydání všech povídek legendárního amerického spisovatele je sbírka Katedrála, Carverova kniha nejuznávanější, a to nejen díky slavné titulní povídce. Autor se v této sbírce z roku 1983 vymanil z vlivu svého redaktora a vymínil si, že se redakční zásahy mohou týkat jen interpunkce. Toto je tedy Carver nezkreslený vnějšími vlivy . Doslov k českému vydání dodala Tess Gallagherová, druhá Carverova žena, která byla přitom .

Jedině tento čtvrtý z pěti Carverových českých svazků neodpovídá žádné z původních anglických sbírek a zároveň má největší časový i tématický rozptyl. Přináší nejstarší autorovy publikované texty - včetne úplné první povídky, která mu vyšla ve 22 letech - a také pět povídek objevených v pozůstalosti. Knihu uzavírá blok sedmi povídek, které jsou vrcholem Carverova díla a stačily vyjít těsně před jeho smrtí v roce 1988 (tedy zejména ta, jíž Carver postavil pomník sobě i svému oblíbenému A. P. Čechovovi). Z jednadvaceti zahrnutých titulů zde má českou premiéru dvanáct povídek.

Featuring recipes from Raymond #39;s ITV series - SIMPLY RAYMOND BLANC #39;Of the many cookery books that I have written, this one has the most extraordinary story, #39; says Raymond Blanc. His long-held plan to write a simple cookbook - inspired by his mother, Maman Blanc - began months before the Covid pandemic hit. Suddenly everything changed, and Raymond, like the rest of the world, struggled to find a way through lockdown. At home, and isolated from his family - as well as his army of chefs at the world-renowned two-star Michelin restaurant Le Manoir aux Quat #39;Saisons and his Brasserie Blanc restaurants - Raymond cooked and cooked. He opted for the simple dishes that evoked the happy memories, provided the connection to those he could not be with. He focused on recipes that were neither a challenge nor fussy. They required ingredients that were easily-available and needed only basic kitchen equipment. The result is Simply Raymond. It is a collection of his favourite home-cooked recipes - the dishes that mean the most to him; the ones that connect family and friends, and dishes that took him on stove-side travels to other parts of the world. Dish by dish, Simply Raymond presents an irresistible feast. This is cooking from the heart, and here you #39;ll find must-make dishes to add to your weekly repertoire, as well as others for special occasions. There is also a profound poignancy to this book. Shortly before Raymond finished writing it, his mother sadly passed away. This book is a heartfelt tribute to her, created with passion and thoughtfulness. It is also a testament to the great pleasure derived from stepping into a kitchen, simply to cook simply for others. Something he has done all of his life. Recipes include: * Cod Cassoulet with Chorizo and Mixed Beans * A Quick Ratatouille * Cauliflower and Red Lentil Dhal * White Onion Soup * Beetroot Salad with Hot Smoked Salmon * Salade Nicoise * Tartiflette * Strawberry and Mascarpone Tart

In a galaxy dominated by the AI-driven warships and robotic armies of the wealthy planet Carthage, freedom is a distant dream for the conquered colonies. As rebellion brews across the empire, from the golden streets of Carthage to the post-apocalyptic ruins of Earth, the machines set their sights on the ocean world Galapagos. But they face unexpected resistance from a fiercely independent population led by a battle-hardened submarine commander who refuses to surrender his world s freedom for the illusion of peace. With the insurrection against the imperial machines underway, the future of humanity hangs in the balance. The machines, programmed for victory at any cost, will stop at nothing to crush the rebellion and ensure their dominion over the galaxy. In this masterful tale, author Max Carver weaves a terrifying vision of a machine-controlled future, where humanity s very existence is at stake. Combining the cerebral dystopia of Bladerunner with the heart-pounding action of Terminator, this cautionary tale will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Can the rebels overcome the overwhelming might of the machines, or will human freedom become nothing more than a fading memory in a galaxy ruled by artificial intelligence?_________________________________________________________What readers said about the Empire of Machines series:5.0 out of 5 stars - In Carthage no one can hear you scream!

A terrific read Andy McNabIn November 1942, two nights after the Battle of El Alamein, a young British army officer was captured. As the Nazis deliberated about what to do with him, Richard Carver had particular reason to be afraid: unknown to anyone, he was the stepson of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, the Allied Commander who had just inflicted the first defeat on the Third Reich. This gripping story tells of Richard s internment in a POW camp in northern Italy. Having decided to risk making his way back to Allied HQ in the south, he embarked on a gruelling 500-mile journey through German-occupied territory, evading capture again and again and ultimately being saved by a family of brave Italians who jeopardised not just their own lives but those of an entire village to hide him. In the winter of 1943, a year after he disappeared, he staggered back into Army HQ, to be greeted by his stepfather with the words, Where the hell have you been? This is a great adventure story - a reminder of a lost age, and of a generation forced to rise to extraordinary feats of valour in the service of a cause greater than themselves. Riveting and remarkable Ben Macintyre, author of Operation Mincemeat This account is a gem. It reminds one of the gallantry and devotion to duty of a generation that has left us.

Způsob vzniku novely Locus Solus, podobně jako Afrických dojmů a dalších svých děl, Raymond Roussel odhalil až posmrtně ve svém textu Jak jsem psal některé své knihy. Zrodil se z formálního omezení, kterým se autor řídil, kdy vzal dvě podobná slova, přidal k nim slova sice stejná, ale mající dva významy, a získal tak dvě téměř identické věty, na jejichž základě pak staví celý text. Význačný vědec a vynálezce Martial Canterel pozve skupinu svých kolegů a přátel k návštěvě svého venkovského sídla Locus Solus. Návštěvníkům předvádí stále bizarnější vynálezy korunované živým obrazem, ve skutečnosti představovaným mrtvými lidmi oživenými pomocí tekutiny resurrectinu, která po vstříknutí čerstvou mrtvolu nutí opakovat nejdůležitější událost jejího života. Raymond Roussel, za svého života nepochopený a znevažovaný, byť naprosto originální autor, jehož dílo obdrželo negativní reakce, se nakonec dočkal obdivu surrealistických skupin a dalších avantgardních autorů.

Věděli jste, že zakladatel islámu Mohammed provozoval sex s devítiletou dívkou? Že podle islámských posvátných textů bude matka Ježíše Krista Marie v islámském ráji manželkou Mohammeda? Samotné muslimské posvátné texty hovoří o tom, že Mohammed přijímal Alláhova koránská zjevení oblečen do ženských šatů. Těmto a mnoha podobným morálním a charakterovým vlastnostem zakladatele islámu se věnují egyptský koptský kněz Zakaria Botros a Raymond Ibrahim, analytik z David Horowitz Freedom Center, ve svých přednáškách. Zakaria Botros (*1934) byl roku 1950 vysvěcen v Káhiře na kněze. Egyptské úřady jej dvakrát uvěznily za kázání evangelia muslimům. Po svém nuceném odchodu z vlasti působil jako kněz v Austrálii a v Anglii. Jelikož patřil Botros mezi hlavní kritiky islámu v Egyptě, vyhlásila teroristická organizace Al-Káida za jeho vraždu odměnu 60 milionů amerických dolarů. Botros je znalý islámské historie, teologie a Koránu, díky čemuž mají jeho přednášky na přívržence islámu zkázonosný dopad. Raymond Ibrahim (*1973) se narodil v USA rodině egyptských přistěhovalců z řad koptské menšiny. Promoval na California State University Fresno (titul M. A.) přičemž se ve své diplomové práci zabýval tématem vojenských střetnutí islámu a Byzance na počátku vzniku islámu. Ibrahim pracoval jako odborný asistent pro oddělení Blízkého východu Knihovny Kongresu USA a působil na postu náměstka ředitele pro Middle East Forum. V současné době působí jako specialista na islám mj. v konzervativní nadaci David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Discover the visual dynamism of Raymond Saunders s paintings and his multifaceted legacy as an artist and thinker in this seminal monograph.Saunders’s work brings together the artist s extensive formal training with his own observations and lived experience. His assemblage-style paintings frequently begin with a monochromatic black ground elaborated with white chalk—a pointed reversal of the traditional figure-ground relationship. He subsequently adds a range of other markings, materials, and talismans. At once deliberately constructed and improvisatory, didactic and deeply felt, these richly built surfaces conjure a range of themes, allowing for a vast and nuanced multiplicity of meanings. A record of a two-part exhibition presented at David Zwirner and Andrew Kreps gallery in 2024, this catalogue considers Saunders’s ability to infuse his work with social relevance and commentary. Featured texts include an introduction by curator Ebony L. Haynes; a conversation between Haynes and Studio Museum of Harlem director Thelma Golden about her multidecade engagement with Saunders’s artwork and writing; and a facsimile reproduction of Saunders s seminal self-published pamphlet from 1967 Black Is a Color, along with new annotated commentary by art historian Darby English. An essay by Jarrett Earnest provides an in-depth formal interpretation of two of Saunders’s chalkboard works. Also included is a never before published interview from 1980 between the artist and Judith Wilson in which Saunders discusses his multilayered practice. Lastly, a reprint of a pivotal text from 1993 by art historian Richard J. Powell offers a panoramic examination of Saunders’s art from 1968–1993, with a special focus on his iconic painting Dr. Jesus. This robust group of texts and academic considerations offers a compelling exploration of Saunders’s wide-ranging practice and lasting influence.

When a middle-aged alcoholic is found brutally battered to death on a roadside in West London, the case is assigned to a nameless detective sergeant, a tough-talking cynic and fearless loner from the Department of Unexplained Deaths at the Factory police station. Working from cassette tapes left behind in the dead man s property, our narrator must piece together the history of his blighted existence and discover the agents of its cruel end. What he doesn t expect is that digging for the truth will demand plenty of lying, and that the most terrible of villains will also prove to be the most attractive. In the first of six police procedurals that comprise the Factory series, Derek Raymond spins a riveting, and vividly human crime drama. Relentlessly pursuing justice for the dispossessed, his detective narrator treads where few others dare: in the darkest corners of London, a city of sin plagued by unemployment, racism and vice, and peopled by a cast of low-lifes, all utterly convincing and brought to life by Raymond s pitch-perfect dialogue.

In his seminal book Life After Life, Dr Raymond Moody introduced the near-death experience (NDE) to the world, sharing the true stories of those who have returned from the brink of death. In this stunning sequel, Dr Moody returns to the area in which he made his name and provides compelling new evidence that NDEs are not the mere biological products of brains in the process of shutting down. Here, he shares the eyewitness accounts of those who have shared the experiences of the dying: the empathic death experiences that occur when those gathered at the bedsides of the dying have their own visions of the afterlife. Brimming with case studies and drawing upon a lifetime s research as well as recent findings, this important book will change the way we think about life and death. As the baby-boomer generation begins to lose those they love, and international scientific research continues in this area, Dr Raymond Moody s book could not be more timely.
