The Cantos - Ezra Pound
The Cantos of Ezra Pound is one of the great landmarks in twentieth-century poetry. This Fourth Collected edition of 1987 includes two previously uncollected cantos, and some passages from other cantos, omitted from earlier printings, restored to the text. The additional cantos, numbered LXXII and LXXIII, were written by Ezra Pound in Italian, during the collapse of Italy at the end of the war.. They belong in the sequence between the John Adams and the Pisan cantos.

Cantos V. - Ezra Pound
Italská Cantos (LXXII-LXXIII) byla napsána italsky koncem roku 1944, kdy byla zdevastovaná Itálie rozdělena (Spojenci a italská vláda ovládali jih, Němci a Mussoliniho Republika Salo sever) a Ezra Pound věřil v její možnou obrodu. Kvůli obsahu těchto dvou zpěvů byl soubor Cantos mnoho let (do roku 1987) vydáván bez nich. V českém vydání je uvádíme jako prolog Pisánských Cantos, jako výraz postojů, z nichž plyne i Poundovo věznění u Pisy a třináct let nuceného pobytu v ústavu pro duševně choré delikventy ve Washingtonu. Pisánská Cantos (LXXIV-LXXXIV) vznikala během Poundovy internace v kárném táboře americké armády u Pisy v roce 1945. Jejich jedenáct dlouhých zpěvů (samo Canto LXXIV má více než 800 veršů) bylo napsáno za nejtěžších podmínek: v kleci na otevřeném prostranství tábora a v lékařském stanu poté, co se šedesátiletý Ezra Pound zhroutil. Jsou sekvencí mnoha fakt a obrazů, které si Pound vybavuje ve chvíli, kdy se mu převrátil život a kdy se rozpadá svět, ve který věřil (okolnosti jsou podrobně vylíčeny v obsáhlém eseji Evy Hesse, který je součástí komentářů v tomto českém vydání). Když byla Pisánským Cantos v roce 1949 udělena americká Bollingenská cena za nejlepší básnické dílo roku, bouře v tisku pronikly až do Kongresu. "Je ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Cantos I. - Ezra Pound
První část Poundovy životní básnické skladby Cantos, jejíchž sto sedmnáct zpěvů psal přes padesát let. V Cantos chtěl Pound po Homérovi, Vergiliovi a Dantovi vypsat sumu našeho věku, tradice a přítomnosti: "Pound na své dobrodružné cestě za Ithakou dochází ke zcela jinému pojetí času, v němž obvyklé dělení na minulost, přítomnost a budoucnost nahrazuje novou škálou hodnot pozemského času. Zachycuje to, co trvá, co se vrací a co odchází." (T. S. Eliot) Prvních třicet Cantos vznikalo v letech 1912-1929. Knižně byla vydána pod názvem A Draft of XXX Cantos v roce 1930 v Paříži. Jako Odysseus se v nich Pound plaví přes moře do Evropy, nachází tu tradici trobadorskou i velikost a krutost středověké Itálie. To vše, i tóny dálněvýchodní, konfrontuje s reminiscencemi na někdejší vznik "nového světa" v Americe i se svou dobou první světové války a ruské revoluce

Cantos III - Ezra Pound
Soubor čínských dynastických Cantos vznikal od listopadu 1937 do března 1939 a poprvé vyšel v lednu 1940. Zdrojem k Čínským Cantos byly Poundovi francouzské dějiny Číny Histoire générale de la Chine ou Annales de cet Empire (Paříž, 1777-1785, ve 13 svazcích). Za jejich autora bývá označován jezuitský misionář Joseph de Mailla (1669 ve Francii - 1748 v Pekingu). Jde však o komentovaný překlad starších čínských spisů vycházejících především z nejslavnějšího historického díla své doby (konec 11. století) C'-č tchung-ťien (Úplné zrcadlo ku pomoci těm, co vládnou), jehož autorem je S'-ma Kuang. Ezra Pound v tomto jediném chronologicky pojatém oddílu Cantos nevrství časové roviny, ale paralely se západní kulturou, a do své poezie začíná soustavně vřazovat ideogram coby plnovýznamovou součást, zvukovou i pojmovou. A jeho hledání dobré vlády se pevně ukotvuje v konfuciánství.

Cantos II. - Ezra Pound
Cantos jsou Poundovou životní básnickou skladbou: jejich druhý svazek obsahuje oddíly "Jefferson: Nuevo Mundo" (XXXI-XLI) a "Siena: Leopoldovy reformy" (XLII-LI). Zatuchlost střední Evropy se prolíná se snahami o nový stát, zápas o americký peněžní systém je srovnáván s někdejším bankovním systémem v Sieně a Florencii. Do Cantos vstupuje Napoleon a kartháginský vojevůdce Hannón. V Cantu XXXVI Pound předestírá svůj koncept Lásky. A v Cantu XXXIX a pak XLVII se vydává na "druhou a třetí cestu Odysseovu": za Kirké. Canto XLV, slavné canto proti lichvě (usuře), je varírováno v závěrečném Cantu LI. Canto XLIX, Canto Sedmi jezer, je zastavením v průzračném ráji, připomenutím konfuciánského Canta XIII a předznamenáním následujícího oddílu Čínských Cantos.

Ezra Pound v (post)kultuře - Jakub Guziur
K současné (post)kultuře lze přistupovat jako k zásobárně obrazů, jež vznikly v průběhu hry s uznávanými kulturními hodnotami zosobněnými umělci a jejich díly. Tato kniha esejů se zabývá obrazy amerického modernistického básníka Ezry Pounda, které se objevily v různých, nejen uměleckých médiích od padesátých let 20. století do dnešních dnů. Text „Obchodované obrazy“ zkoumá takové, jimiž je zdobeno spotřební zboží. Esej „Pound beatový, bitý a obdivovaný“ se soustřeďuje na obrazy Pounda v poválečné americké kontrakultuře, u Allena Ginsberga, Lawrence Ferlinghettiho a Charlese Bukowského. Dalším tématem jsou obrazy Pounda v hudební tvorbě: například v písni „Desolation Row“, kterou Bob Dylan uvedl tuto personu do populární hudby, i v dalších skladbách odlišných žánrů od indie rocku, emo a post-moderního popu ke cool jazzu. Esej „Pound s komiksovou bublinou“ se zabývá básníkovými obrazy v komiksech. Text „Prozaické poundoptikum“ se týká literatury, přičemž Poundovy obrazy se nevyskytují pouze v životopisných a historických prózách, ale rovněž v kriminálních, detektivních a konspiračních příbězích, post-modernistických vyprávěních a vědecké fantastice. Esej „Netvoři a dramatikové“ je o obrazech Pounda v dramatických a scénických dílech a pojednává i o jeho antisemitismu, podpoře Mussoliniho a soudním jednání, jehož výsledkem byla básníkova dlouholetá internace v Nemocnici sv. Alžběty pro choromyslné zločince.

Ezra Pound v Rapallu - Massimo Bacigalupo
Americký básník, esejista, překladatel a literární historik Ezra Pound (1885 - 1972) se poprvé objevil v přímořském letovisku Rapallu poblíž Janova v roce 1924. Vedle Benátek a krátké epizody na tyrolském zámku jeho dcery Mary de Rachewiltz Brunnenburg bylo Rapallo jeho nejoblíbenějším místem v Itálii. Vzpomínkové texty a esejistické črty obsažené v tomto svazku přinášejí dvě výjimečná svědectví o závěrečném údobí Poundova života. Profesor Janovské univerzity Massimo Bacigalupo se s básníkem seznámil prostřednictvím svého otce, který Pounda léčil. Americký básník, kritik, esejista a malíř Guy Davenport navštěvoval Pounda v nemocnici svaté Alžběty ve Washingtonu a v próze Ithaka zachytil jedno ze setkání s ním a jeho družkou, houslistkou Olgou Rudgeovou, v Rapallu. Knihu doplňují verše Massima Bacigalupa vztahující se k Poundovi a fotografie rapallských míst spojených s autorem Cantos, s tvůrcem, jehož "duch byl ze zázračně krásného krystalu" (Michel Butor). Z angličtiny přeložil a úvodním esejem doprovodil Petr Mikeš, autorem doslovu je Jan Suk.

The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book.

‘Ten Pound Poms’ - A. James Hammerton, Alistair Thomson
A riveting history of the ‘Ten Pound Poms’, a wave of British citizens who migrated to Australia and New Zealand after the Second World War. Between the 1940s and 1970s, more than a million Britons migrated to Australia. They were the famous ''Ten Pound Poms'' and this is their story. The authors draw on a vast trove of letters, diaries and personal photographs, as well as hundreds of interviews with former migrants, to offer original insights into key historical themes. They explore people’s motivations for emigrating, gender relations and family dynamics, the clashing experience of the ‘very familiar and awfully strange’, homesickness and the personal and national identities of both settlers and returnees. Filled with fascinating testimonies that shed light on migrant life histories, ‘Ten Pound Poms’ will engage readers interested in British and Australian migration history and intrigued about the power of migrant memories for individuals, families and nations.

Carrying the Can - Christopher Miles
From childhood, Christopher Miles was fascinated by celluloid. This love of the moving image announced itself early: he was just 12 when the BBC screened his first film in 1951. To be a filmmaker, Miles had to sidestep parental plans to enrol him in the family steelworks. He had already been filming in communist China and Argentina when he escaped to Paris where he made his first professional film. Later, working mostly in Europe and America, Miles made a string of intriguing and unusual films, two exploring his obsession with D.H. Lawrence, others bringing works by Jean Anouilh and Jean Genet to the big screen. He writes revealingly of his relationship with his father, of whether he is related to the royal family, and of the host of key figures in the film industry he worked with. Among the stars of his films are Ian McKellen, Ava Gardner, John Gielgud, Susannah York, Franco Nero and Charlotte Rampling. This compelling account goes behind the scenes, setting the films in context and giving the reader a very personal view of contemporary film-making.

The Waste Land Facsimile - T. S. Eliot
When the New York Public Library announced in October 1968 that its Berg Collection had acquired the original manuscript of The Waste Land, one of the most puzzling mysteries of twentieth-century literature was solved. The manuscript was not lost, as had been believed, but had remained among the papers of John Quinn, Eliot''s friend and adviser, to whom the poet had sent it in 1922.If the discovery of the manuscript was startling, its content was even more so, because the published version of The Waste Land was considerably shorter than the original. How it was reduced and edited is clearly revealed on the manuscript through the handwritten notes of Ezra Pound, of Eliot’s first wife, Vivien, and of Eliot himself.In order that this material might be widely available for study, the poet''s widow Mrs Valerie Eliot prepared the present edition, in 1971, in which each page of the original manuscript was reproduced in facsimile, with a clear transcript facing pages. Mrs Eliot also included an illuminating introduction, explanatory notes and cross-references, together with the text of the first published version of The Waste Land, thus completing the evolution of the most influential poem in modern literature.To mark the centenary of ...

The Collected Prose of T.S. Eliot Volume 1 - T. S. Eliot
T. S. Eliot is regarded as the most important poet–critic of modern times, the twentieth century’s ‘Man of Letters’ whose reputation was forged not only on the strength of his verse, but on the enduring influence of his critical writings. The Collected Prose presents those works that Eliot allowed to reach print in the order of their final revision or printing. Publishing across four volumes, the series aims to provide an authoritative and clean-text record of Eliot’s approved texts and their revisions, beginning with his formative observations, written while he was at high school, and concluding in his final major opus, To Criticize the Critic, published in the months after his death.This first volume covers the years 1905–1928, a time of dramatic development for Eliot as both a poet and critic that saw the publication of Prufrock and Other Observations, The Waste Land and Journey of the Magi, and a gathering his seminal early essays under the title The Sacred Wood (1920). In his penetrating surveys of poetic form and the literary milieu of the day, he assesses the era’s ageing giants, Yeats, Swinburne, Henry James, and hails the arrival of its new generation, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis. ...

The Celluloid Atlantic - Saverio Giovacchini
Offers a fresh look at American and Italian cinema in the postwar period. The Celluloid Atlantic changes the way we look at American and Italian cinema in the postwar period. In the thirty years following World War II, American and Italian film industries came to be an integrated, transnational unit rather than two separate, nation-based entities. Written in jargon-free prose and based on previously unexplored archival sources, this book revisits the history of Neorealism, World War II combat cinema, the "Western all'Italiana," and the career of John Kitzmiller, the African American star who made Italy his home and was the first person of color to win the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival. The Celluloid Atlantic makes the trailblazing argument that culturally hybrid genres like the so-called spaghetti Western were less the exceptions than the norm. Giovacchini argues that the waning of the Celluloid Atlantic in the early 1970s was due to the economic policies of the first Nixon administration, specifically its important, but largely neglected, Revenue Act of 1971, as well as to the ideological debates between Europeans and Americans that intensified during the American intervention in Vietnam.

The Waste Land - T. S. Eliot
The Waste Land (1922) is a poem by T.S. Eliot. After suffering a nervous breakdown, Eliot took a leave of absence from his job at a London bank to stay with his wife Vivienne at the coastal town of Margate. He worked on the poem during these months before showing an early draft to Ezra Pound, who helped edit the poem toward publication. The Waste Land, dedicated to Pound, includes hundreds of quotations of and allusions to such figures as Homer, Sophocles, Virgil, Ovid, Dante, Saint Augustine, Chaucer, Baudelaire, and Whitman, to name only a few.Divided into five sections—“The Burial of the Dead;†“A Game of Chess;†“The Fire Sermon;†“Death by Water;†and “What the Thunder Saidâ€â€”The Waste Land is a complex poem that translates Eliot’s fragile emotional state and increasing dissatisfaction with married life into an apocalyptic vision of postwar England. The poem begins with a meditation on despair before moving to a polyphonic narration by figures on the theme. The third section focuses on death and denial through the lens of eastern and western religions, using Saint Augustine as a prominent figure. Eliot then moves from a brief lyric poem to an apocalyptic conclusion, declaring: “He who ... Unknown localization key: "more"

It has been labelled the most truthful poem of its time; it has been branded a masterful fake. More than a century after its publication in 1922, T. S. Eliot’s enigmatic masterpiece remains one of the most influential works ever written.In a remarkable feat of biography, Matthew Hollis reconstructs the creation of the poem and brings the material reality of its charged times vividly to life. He reveals the cultural and personal trauma that forged The Waste Land through the lives of its protagonists — Ezra Pound, who edited it; Vivien Eliot, who sustained it; and T. S. Eliot himself, whose private torment is woven into the seams of the work. The result is an unforgettable story of lives passing in opposing directions and the astounding literary legacy they would leave behind.

Critically acclaimed, for readers of Paul Beatty's The Sellout and Jennifer Egan's The Candy House, a moving and darkly funny novel about an attempt to found an underground Utopia. An abandoned restaurant on a hill off the highway in Western Massachusetts doesn't look like much. But to Rio, a young Black woman bereft after the loss of her newborn child, this hill becomes more than a safe haven—it becomes a place to start over. She convinces her husband to help her construct a society underground, somewhere everyone can feel safe, loved, and accepted. Soon their utopia begins to take shape and attracts the unhoused, the disillusioned, and the spiritually lost. But no matter how much these people all yearn for a sanctuary from the existential dread of life above the surface, what happens if this new society can't actually work? From an exciting new literary voice, The New Naturals is fresh and deeply perceptive, capturing the absurdity of life in the 21st century.
