summer light and then comes the night jon kalman stefansson

AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER AND WINNER OF THE ICELANDIC LITERATURE PRIZE"The Icelandic Dickens" Irish Examiner"Stefánsson shares the elemental grandeur of Cormac McCarthy" EILEEN BATTERSBY, T.L.S. Supplement"A wonderful, exceptional writer . . . A timeless storyteller" CARSTEN JENSEN"Sometimes, in small places, life becomes bigger" Sometimes a distance from the world''s tumult opens our hearts and our dreams. In a village of four hundred souls, the infinite light of an Icelandic summer makes its inhabitants want to explore, and the eternal night of winter lights up the magic of the stars. The village becomes a microcosm of the age-old conflict between human desire and destiny, between the limits of reality and the wings of the imagination. With humour, with poetry, and with a tenderness for human weaknesses, Stefánsson explores the question of why we live at all.Translated from the Icelandic by Philip Roughton

"Je zmierenie sa s osudom zrelosť či zbabelosť?" Tvoja neprítomnosť je tma je uchvacujúci román, ktorý si svoje tajomstvá stráži do poslednej strany a ešte trochu dlhšie. Jón Kalman Stefánsson nám opäť prináša spletitý príbeh, ktorý nás zavedie naprieč časom: od prítomnosti až na prelom 19. a 20. storočia, zo vzdialeného islandského fjordu až na juh Francúzska a zase späť. Zoznamuje nás so škálou postáv: s majite?kou hotela so žiarivým úsmevom, s farmárom, čo hrá na elektrickú gitaru, s kňazom píšucim listy nemeckému básnikovi Hölderlinovi, či s jednoduchou ženou, čo sa napriek chýbajúcemu formálnemu vzdelaniu rozhodne poslať do časopisu článok o dážďovkách. Autor nám odha?uje ich osudy a životné cesty, ktorých spoločným menovate?om je láska. Láska, ktorá človeka prekvapí, keď to najmenej čaká, prinesie blaženosť a naplnenie, no zároveň ho často postaví pred náročnú až nemožnú vo?bu. Naše rozhodnutia však neovplyvňujú iba náš vlastný život. Dosiahnu aj na naše okolie a na budúce generácie, tak ako vlnky na rozčerenej vodnej hladine. A tak minulosť často prebýva v našom vnútri.

Sú chvíle, ktoré nás nútia utriediť si myšlienky, vrátiť sa v čase dozadu a snažiť sa rozpliesť zauzlené klbko nití, šnúr a povrazov existencie, aby sme jej - snáď - lepšie porozumeli. Pre rozprávača Žltej ponorky je miestom takej chvíle londýnsky park augusta 2022, v ktorom Paul McCartney sedí na tráve a opiera sa o strom. Hrdina románu sa tak voľky-nevoľky ocitá v trabante smerujúcom do Keflavíku, šoféruje otec a oznámi malému synovi zdrvujúcu správu. Správu, čo vrhne tieň na všetko nasledujúce. Jón Kalman Stefánsson nám v tejto svojej knihe odkrýva mnohé zo samého seba, prevedie nás Islandom, zoznámi nás so životom a spojí doposiaľ nespojiteľné, napríklad Ringo Starra s biskupom v Hólar, námornícke odrhovačky s Bohom, cykloptery so zosnulými na cintoríne... V každom prípade, hľadá sa prvý diel Biblie.

Spisovatel, kterým může být i sám autor Jón Kalman Stefánsson, potká v londýnském parku postaršího Paula McCartneyho, který tam hledá úkryt před sluncem, vedrem i slávou. Bývalý člen The Beatles je hrdinou jeho mládí a tak ho napadne, že si s ním promluví. Nejprve se však na tento rozhovor musí řádně připravit, utřídit si své vzpomínky a změť emocí všeho druhu, o které by se chtěl se svým idolem podělit… Vyrůstal v Keflavíku v sedmdesátých letech, a pod vrcholky celé země i v něm samotném se tenkrát rozprostíral smutek. Jako malý kluk se v jedné větě dozvěděl, že mu právě zemřela matka. O několik měsíců později už trávil léto v nové rodině. Divoká krása islandských fjordů se mu stala lékem na otcovo samotářství, alkoholismus a jeho tíživé mlčení. Útočiště si hledal i v knihách a v Bibli, ale tam našel jen neurvalého Boha, stejně omylného, jako byl jeho otec. Biblické učení ho tedy jen rozčílilo a dalo jasně najevo, že opravdové odpovědi na své otázky bude muset hledat jinde. V průběhu let se sám stal spisovatelem. V tomto autobiografickém románu vedle sebe koexistují různorodá místa i čas, setkáváme se například se šíleným taxikářem, instruktorem autoškoly s křehkým srdcem nebo třeba ...

It is three weeks since the boy came to town, carrying a book of poetry to return to the old sea captain - the poetry that did for his friend Bárður. Three weeks, but already Bárður''s ghost has faded. Snow falls so heavily that it binds heaven and earth together. As the villagers gather in the inn to drink schnapps and coffee while the boy reads to them from Shakespeare''s Hamlet, Jens the postman stumbles in half dead, having almost frozen to his horse. On his next journey to the wide open fjords he is accompanied by the boy, and both must risk their lives for each other, and for an unusual item of mail. The Sorrow of Angels is a timeless literary masterpiece; in extraordinarily powerful language it brings the struggle between man and nature tangibly to life. It is the second novel in Stefánsson''s epic and elemental trilogy, though all can be read independently.

After coming through the blizzard that almost cost them everything, Jens and the boy are far from home, in a fishing community at the edge of the world. Taken in by the village doctor, the boy once again has the sense of being brought back from the grave. But this is a strange place, with otherworldly inhabitants, including flame-haired Álfheiður, who makes him wonder whether it is possible to love two women at once; he had believed his heart was lost to Ragnheiður, the daughter of the wealthy merchant in the village to which he must now inexorably return. Set in the awe-inspiring wilderness of the extreme north, The Heart of Man is a profound exploration of life, love and desire, written with a sublime simplicity. In this conclusion to an audacious trilogy, Stefánsson brings a poet''s eye and a philosopher''s insight to a tale worthy of the sagasmiths of old.

Románová trilogie Ráj a peklo / Smutek andělů / Lidské srdce - nejčtenějšího současného islandského spisovatele Jóna Kalmana Stefánssona je lakonickým popisem života rybářské obce nacházející se ve fjordu poblíž severního pólu. Všechny obyvatele živí lov ryb, a tak rybáři periodicky vyplouvají na moře. S věčným střídáním běsnících živlů, bouřek, vánic a mrznutí je boj o život roven odolávání ďáblu v pekle a jediným, co zde jakkoli vzdáleně připomíná opak, je starý pastorův překlad Miltonova Ztraceného ráje. I ten se však nakonec ukáže být prokletím, neboť Bárdur si díky němu zapomene vzít vhodné oblečení a na moři umrzne. Četba poezie je životu nebezpečná. Drsné okolní prostředí vytváří nepřekročitelné překážky, omezuje lidskou mysl, zužuje obzory a zplošťuje dimenze. Náročné životní podmínky ženou lidi ke konzumaci alkoholu a nebezpečně zintenzivňují je­jich city. Bije ti ještě stále srdce? A jak ti bije? Mé srdce bije, protože nic jiného neumí. Přes veškerou nepřízeň se obyvatelé osady nikdy nevzdávají naděje (či Naděje, jak zní jméno jedné z lodí). Věnují se co možná nejvíc životu, neboť podle nich člověk umíráním ztrácí ráj, přestože to mnohokrát není více než jen několik zářivých chvil roztrhaných tmavými dny.

In this "lively and entertaining" history of ideas (Liaquat Ahamed, The New Yorker), New York Times editorial writer Binyamin Appelbaum tells the story of the people who sparked four decades of economic revolution. Before the 1960s, American politicians paid little attention to economists. But as the post–World War II boom began to sputter, economists gained influence and power. Binyamin Appelbaum traces the rise of the economists, first in the United States and then around the globe, as their ideas reshaped the modern world, curbing government, unleashing corporations, and hastening globalization. Some leading figures in the field are relatively well-known, such as Milton Friedman and Arthur Laffer, while others stayed out of the limelight but left a lasting impact on modern life: Walter Oi, a blind economist who persuaded President Nixon to end military conscription; Alfred Kahn, who rejoiced in the crowded cabins on commercial flights as proof of his deregulation of air travel; and Thomas Schelling, who put a dollar value on human life. Their fundamental belief? That government should stop trying to manage the economy. Their guiding principle? That markets would deliver steady growth and ensure that all Americans shared in the benefits. But the economists' hour failed to ... Unknown localization key: "more"

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZEThe Making of the Atomic Bomb is the seminal and complete story of how the bomb was developed, from the turn-of-the-century discovery of the vast energy locked inside the atom to the dropping of the first bombs on Japan. Few great discoveries have evolved so swiftly - or have been so misunderstood. From the theoretical discussions of nuclear energy to the bright glare of Trinity, there was a span of hardly more than twenty-five years.What began as merely an interesting speculative problem in physics grew into the Manhattan Project, and then into the bomb, with frightening rapidity, while scientists known only to their peers - Szilard, Teller, Oppenheimer, Bohr, Meitner, Fermi, Lawrence and von Neumann - stepped from their ivory towers into the limelight. Richard Rhodes gives the definitive story of man's most awesome discovery and invention. Told in rich human, political and scientific detail, The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a narrative tour de force and a document with literary power commensurate with its subject.
