Jediný román kultovní americké básnířky Sylvie Plathové Pod skleněným zvonem vznikl v roce 1962 – údajně hektickým tempem – a vyšel pod pseudonymem Victoria Lucas v lednu 1963, pouhý měsíc před dobrovolnou smrtí autorky. Kniha se dnes počítá k americké klasice a bývá stavěna především do sousedství Salingerovy přelomové prózy „Kdo chytá v žitě“. Dospívající vypravěčka Esther vstupuje do „velkého světa“, který jí ale zůstává cizí a přiměje ji až k rozhodnutí odejít ze života, realizovaném v sérii nezdařilých pokusů. Jedinečnost románu tkví v tom, jak proti sobě – či spíše vedle sebe – staví život a smrt, konformitu a sebedestruktivitu, „zdravý rozum“ a údajnou choromyslnost. Knihu vydáváme ve vynikajícím překladu Tomáše Hrácha, pro nějž byla Sylvia Plathová doslova osudovou autorkou.

Sylvia Plath was one of the defining voices of the twentieth century, and one of the most appealing: few other poets have introduced as many new readers to poetry. The poems in this fresh and inviting edition were chosen by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy.In my selection, which is roughly chronological to shadow her progress, I have tried to walk through the landscape of Sylvia Plath''s poetry as though for the first time, fifty years older than I was when she died. In doing so I have experienced afresh the almost physical excitement I felt when I first read this bold, brilliant, brave poet who changed the world of poetry for us all. - Carol Ann Duffy

Sylvia Plathová (1932 - 1963), americká prozaička a básnířka, je známa českým čtenářům díky románu Pod skleněným zvonem (Argo, 1998) a sbírce Noční tance (Argo, 2002). Nyní Argo přichází se souborem tří kratších dětských příběhů, které potěší nejen děti, ale uchvátí i dospělé. Obdivovatele Plathové jistě překvapí nečekaná hravost a rozmarná potrhlost textů. Prozaický příběh Kuchyň paní Třešinkové napsala Plathová v roce 1958 pro dětský časopis, publikován byl ale poprvé až v roce 2001, tedy 38 let po autorčině dobrovolné smrti. Vypráví se v něm o kuchyňských přístrojích, jež jsou přesvědčeny, že dokážou lépe plnit úkoly svěřené jejich kolegům v kuchyni, a způsobí tím naprostý chaos. Ve veršované Knížce o postelích, poprvé vydané v roce 1976, sestavila Plathová úžasnou kolekci všemožných postelí s překvapivými, báječnými schopnostmi - dovedou kupříkladu cestovat pod vodou, plachtit vzduchem, spát pod sněhem, poskakovat či malovat. Třetí příběh o Tomášovi a jeho vytouženém hořčicově žlutém obleku pro všechny příležitosti má název Oblek, kterému nic nevadilo

The first in a rich historical trilogy that draws on legend, by a literary craftsman and the author of The Sixteen Trees of the SommeNorway, 1880. Winter is hard in Butangen, a village secluded at the end of a valley. The lake has frozen, and for months the ground is too hard to bury the dead.

Then Pastor Kai Schweigaard takes over the small parish, with its 700-year-old stave church carved with pagan deities. The two bells in the tower were forged by Astrid's forefather in the sixteenth century, in memory of conjoined twins Halfrid and Gunhild Hekne. They are said to hold supernatural powers.The villagers are wary of the pastor and his resolve to do away with their centuries-old traditions, though Astrid also finds herself drawn to him.

From New York Times bestselling author, feminist pioneer, and cultural icon bell hooks, a timelessly necessary treatise on how patriarchy and toxic masculinity hurts us all, with a new introduction by poet Ross Gay.Feminist writing did not tell us about the deep inner misery of men. Everyone needs to love and be loved—including men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways in which patriarchal culture keeps them from understanding themselves. In The Will to Change, bell hooks provides a compassionate guide for men of all ages and identities to understand how to be in touch with their feelings, and how to express versus repress the emotions that are a fundamental part of who we are. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. The Will to Change “creates space for men to acknowledge their traumas and heal—not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone in their lives” (BuzzFeed).

Kniha - autor Natalie Haynes, 320 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná The Greek myths are among the world's most important cultural building blocks and they have been retold many times, but rarely do they focus on the remarkable women at the heart of these ancient stories. Stories of gods and monsters are the mainstay of epic poetry and Greek tragedy, from Homer to Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, from the Trojan War to Jason and the Argonauts.

But modern tellers of Greek myth have usually been men, and have routinely shown little interest in telling women’s stories. And when they do, those women are often painted as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil.

Gideon Cross vstoupil do mého života. Byl krásný a inteligentní, drsný a sexy. Přitahoval mě jako ještě nikdy nikdo a nic. Jeho dotek byl pro mě jako droga, i když jsem věděla, že mě oslabí.

A oba jsme se stali zrcadly, která v sobě navzájem odrážela naše nejtajnější světy… a touhy. Pouto jeho lásky mě proměnilo, i když jsem se nepřestávala modlit, aby nás muka z minulosti znovu nerozdělila…

Mluvím o nejintimnějších chvílích našeho života, kdy jsme spolu jen on a já. O chvílích, kdy se rádi necháme jeden druhým zkrotit výměnou za nepředstavitelnou rozkoš…
