Audiokniha: Všichni to přece dělají. Klasické dílo erotické literatury plné sexuálního napětí, sprostých slov, nadsázky, vzrušení a otevřené erotiky, která pobuřuje i ve 21. století. Slavná erotická novela, jejíž autorství se připisuje spisovateli Oscaru Wildovi, je koncipována jako důvěrná zpověď mladé patricijské dámy Beatrice. Inspirována přítelkyní, které se dostalo sexuálního probuzení od zmužilého komorníka, Beatrice neváhá a vydává se objevovat taje tělesných slastí. Zažívá potěšení všeho druhu, od svádění služebných až po orgie a zasvěco-vání nezkušených do umění lásky. Wildeho autorství je sporné, novela vycházela na pokračo-vání v erotickém časopise The Pearl mezi lety 1879 a 1880, a šířila se mezi nejvybranější společností. Již generace čtenářů si libují ve vzrušujících dobrodružstvích mladých aristokra-tických hrdinek. Zpověď dámy dodnes dokáže pohoršit a zapůsobit silněji než díla současné pornografie.

Účinkují Josef Červinka, Viktor Preiss, Dana Syslová, Svatopluk Beneš, Petra Špalková, Jaroslava Adamová, Pavel Chalupa a další. Režie Markéta Jahodová. Rozhlasová nahrávka z roku 1998. „Mluvte s každou ženou, jakoby kdybyste ji miloval, a s každým mužem, jako kdybyste se nudil. Až skončí vaše první sezona, budete mít pověst člověka s dokonalým společenským taktem.“ (Oscar Wilde: Bezvýznamná žena) Když v roce 1900 zemřel v pařížském hotelu d’Alsace v rue des Beaux-Arts těžce nemocný Sebastian Melmoth, dleli u jeho lůžka jen dva přátelé a jen málokdo tušil, že pod tímto jménem se skrývá známý irský dramatik Oscar Wilde. Narodil se roku 1854 v Dublinu v rodině očního a ušního chirurga. Oscara však – alespoň co se týče volby povolání – inspirovala spíše jeho matka Jane, která byla úspěšnou irskou spisovatelkou. Zpočátku byl jeho život poklidný a počestný – vystudoval klasickou filologii (s výborným prospěchem) a oženil se se zámožnou Constance Lloydovou. Zároveň se však stal jedním z předních představitelů dekadence, jednoho z vůdčích uměleckých směrů 19. století. S rozkoší provokoval anglickou usedlou smetánku a šlechtu a postavám z těchto kruhů vkládal do úst vždy ty nejnemorálnější odsudky a předsudečné úvahy. Proslavily jej nejen jeho dosud čtené romány Obraz Doriana Graye a Strašidlo cantervillské, pohádka Šťastný princ, ale také divadelní komedie a satiry, mezi nimi především Jak je důležité míti Filipa. A ovšem také báseň Balada o žaláři v Readingu. Do vězení se dostal především kvůli skandálnímu výsledku soudního sporu, při němž vyšla najevo jeho homosexualita, která byla tehdy brána jako přečin proti mravopočestnosti. Jaký div, že tuto společnost kritizoval a vysmíval se jejímu puritánství. Ve hře Bezvýznamná žena, kterou si teď můžete poslechnout, vítězí pravda a skutečná mravnost nad pokrytectvím a zábavnou sice, leč přeci jen dekadencí. Vybraná společnost se tu vzájemně častuje vtipnými glosami, ale za jejich úsměvy se často skrývá letargie či nihilismus. I když má tak šaramantní a přitažlivou tvář jako lord Illingworth ve vynikajícím podání Viktora Preisse. Přemysl Hnilička

Audiokniha: Pohádky tohoto anglického básníka, dramatika a prozaika irského původu nejsou odvozeny z lidových pramenů, nýbrž jsou tvorbou výlučně literární. Vznikaly v poslední třetině devatenáctého století a projevuje se v nich výraznou měrou secesní zdobnost, ornamentálnost a příklon k symbolismu. Je v nich patrná i určitá míra dekadence, jíž byl autor literárním představitelem - projevuje se melancholií, střetem snového světa s realitou, tématem smysluplného utrpení ve jménu lásky. Nevítězí v nich vždycky dobro a ani zlo není pokaždé ve své skutečné podobě potrestáno. Wildovy pohádky však mají obrovskou sílu mravního přesvědčení o absolutních lidských hodnotách. Do pohádkových příběhů, které Oscar Wilde údajně napsal pro své syny, vložil celé své srdce a vypravěčský um i básnické nadání. Nahrávka je určena starším dětem i dospělým posluchačům.

In a town where a lot of poor people suffer and where there are a lot of miseries, a swallow who was left behind after his flock flew off to Egypt for the winter, meets the statue of the late ‘Happy Prince’, who in reality has never experienced true sorrow, for he lived in a palace where sorrow isn’t allowed to enter. Viewing various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his tall monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the golden leaf covering his body to give to the poor. As the winter comes and the Happy Prince is stripped of all of his beauty, his lead heart breaks when the swallow dies as a result of his selfless deeds and severe cold.The statue is then brought down from the pillar and melted in a furnace leaving behind the broken heart and the dead swallow and they are thrown in a dust heap. These are taken up to heaven by an angel that has deemed them the two most precious things in the city. This is affirmed by God and they live forever in his city of gold and garden of paradise.

''The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.''When Dorian Gray has his portrait painted, he is captivated by his own beauty. Tempted by his world-weary, decadent friend Lord Henry Wotton, he wishes to stay forever young, and pledges his very soul to keep his good looks. Set in fin-de-siécle London, the novel traces a path from the studio of painter Basil Hallward to the opium dens of the East End. As Dorian''s slide into crime and cruelty progresses he stays magically youthful, while his beautiful portrait changes, revealing the hideous corruption of moral decay.Ever since its first publication in 1890 Wilde''s only novel has remained the subject of critical controversy. Acclaimed by some as an instructive moral tale, it has been denounced by others for its implicit immorality.

eBook: "Fashion is ephemeral. Art is eternal. Indeed, what is a fashion really? A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so absolutely unbearable that we have to alter it every six months!" ‘The Philosophy of Fashion’ is the article that elevated Wilde from the position of a commercial journalist to a writer of repute. In this essay, Wilde dismantles the concept of fashion, with his characteristic wit and biting social criticism. Funny and fascinating, ‘The Philosophy of Fashion’ is a wry look at social conventions, through the eyes of a dedicated dandy. For anyone with an interest in fashion or works commenting on societal trends. Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900) was an Irish novelist, poet, playwright, and wit. He was an advocate of the Aesthetic movement, which extolled the virtues of art for the sake of art. During his career, Wilde wrote nine plays, including ‘The Importance of Being Earnest,’ ‘Lady Windermere’s Fan,’ and ‘A Woman of No Importance,’ many of which are still performed today. His only novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ was adapted for the silver screen, in the film, ‘Dorian Gray,’ starring Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. In addition, Wilde wrote 43 poems, and seven essays.

Oba obětují mnohem víc než jen bohatství, aby zachránili ty méně šťastné. Dojemný příběh o soucitu a šlechetnosti. High above the city on a column stands the statue of the Happy Prince, all gilded with thin leaves of gold. When he sees the poverty and desperateness of his people, the Prince asks a kind-hearted swallow for help. They both sacrifice much more than just the riches to save the less fortunate. Touching story of compassion and generosity.

''Remarkable'' OBSERVER‘Astounding’ ADAM FARRER''Brave and luminous'' SARAH LANGFORDThe Ghost Lake is a deeply personal, lyrical and stirring meditation on local history and changing landscapes that intertwines nature writing with an exploration of grief, belonging and the lives and legacies of rural working‐class people.I am setting out on a pilgrimage through an ancient landscape.I will begin at my daughter’s grave. Paleolake Flixton is an extinct lake in North Yorkshire. Human occupation of the site dates back thousands of years to prehistoric times. Over the millennia, the vast lake disappeared, turning to wetland and peaty fields. Today all that is left of it is a watermark.Wendy Pratt brings the reader on a pilgrimage around the ghost lake, to locations that have acted as journey markers in her own life. While traversing forests and fenland, she reflects on the process of finding belonging in nature as a woman who exists in a series of liminal spaces – as a working-class writer, an infertile woman in a fertile world and a bereaved mother in a society focused on children.An early draft of The Ghost Lake was longlisted for the 2021 Nan Shepherd Prize.‘In this lyric memoir, award-winning poet Pratt explores the landscape of the Yorkshire Moors, and the ancient lost lake of Flixton, weaving together nature writing with an exploration of grief, belonging and the lives of rural working-class people. THE BOOKSELLER‘There are some autobiographical writers who speak of utilising nature’s healing properties to overcome life challenges without fully acknowledging the role of luck in their trajectories. Not infrequently these writers become cultural spokespeople for or representatives of a demographic that they are actually no longer a part of, leaving those who are still grappling with their plights feeling as though it’s a personal failing that they can’t make their way out the same mires. This is a very different sort of book, a steadfastly honest one that views nature as a refuge rather than a cure. Many should find solace here. And others will simply gain pleasure from the descriptions of the archaeological finds unearthed from Yorkshire’s rich black peaty soils’GEOGRAPHICAL

Píše se jednadvacáté století a hranice mezi člověkem a strojem je čím dál nejasnější. Lidé mají mechanické implantáty a stroje jsou vylepšovány pomocí lidské tkáně. Agentka Motoko Kusanagi je členem speciální jednotky, která pronásleduje nebezpečné teroristy a kyberzločince. Především vražedné hackery, kteří se dokáží nabourat i do lidského mozku. A za tím vším stojí možná ještě něco víc... Crew tento rok splatí jeden ze zásadních komiksových dluhů! Vydá kultovní mangu, která inspirovala několik proslulých filmů, počítačových her a úžasný animovaný seriál. Ghosti in the Shell je dílo, které položilo základy pro moderní mangu. Kreslíř a scenárista Masamune Širó je tak ikonickou postavou, že při nákupu práv se muselo podepsat, že i v českém komiksu zůstanou jím napsané zvukové efekty a poznámky – a budou se překládat zvlášť. Tohle zkrátka není jen akční sci-fi. Širó do mangy vložil vlastní filozofii, teze o sociálních problémech i následcích technologického vývoje. I proto se k Ghost in the Shell stále vrací jak čtenáři, tak tvůrci, kteří hledají inspiraci.
