Wandering through the vastness of nature he arrives, in a state of fear and wonder, at a remote ranch run by two women. There Martim finds work and, as he labours in the blistering heat of the Brazilian summer, becomes transfigured; remade into something else entirely.Translated by Benjamin Moser The most important Brazilian woman writer of the twentieth century...

One of Elena Ferrante s Top 40 Books by Women G.H., a well-to-do Rio sculptress, enters the room of her maid, which is as clear and white as in an insane asylum from which dangerous objects have been removed . There she sees a cockroach - black, dusty, prehistoric - crawling out of the wardrobe and, panicking, slams the door on it. Her irresistible fascination with the dying insect provokes a spiritual crisis, in which she questions her place in the universe and her very identity, propelling her towards an act of shocking transgression. Clarice Lispector s spare, deeply disturbing yet luminous novel transforms language into something otherworldly, and is one of her most unsettling and compelling works. Clarice Lispector was a Brazilian novelist and short story writer. Her innovation in fiction brought her international renown. References to her literary work pervade the music and literature of Brazil and Latin America. She was born in the Ukraine in 1920, but in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Civil War, the family fled to Romania and eventually sailed to Brazil. She published her first novel, Near to the Wildheart in 1943 when she was just twenty-three, and the next year was awarded the Graça Aranha Prize for the best first novel. Many felt she had given Brazillian literature a unique voice in the larger context of Portuguese literature. After living variously in Italy, the UK, Switzerland and the US, in 1959, Lispector with her children returned to Brazil where she wrote her most influential novels including The Passion According to G.H. She died in 1977, shortly after the publication of her final novel, The Hour of the Star.

A TLS Book of the Year This exhilarating collection of non-fiction sees one of the greatest twentieth-century writers meditating on the moments that make up a life How did I so unwittingly transform the joy of living into the great luxury of being alive?

These acerbic essays, collected from Perry Link⠙s decades-long career as a noted Sinologist, reveal the depth of his attachment to China and his willingness to squarely face unpleasant truths about the many ways in which ordinary Chinese people have suffered from the self-serving, erratic, and often disastrous ⠜leadership⠝ of the Communist Party of China.Link s essays touch on politics, society, economy, literature, and art, but their primary focus is on the thoughts, feelings, and values of Chinese people. He lays out his values as he explains how, like many of his Chinese friends, he began with a naïve attraction to socialist ideals only to eventually feel disgust at the cynical betrayal of not only those ideals but even garden-variety ethics. His writing probes the ways ⠜comrades⠝ in the ruling regime have ruthlessly clung to and pursued the one value whose pre-eminence has never been in question: political power.The Anaconda in the Chandelier includes essays on Link⠙s ⠜day job⠝ interests in Chinese literature, popular culture, and language teaching at Princeton University. He also offers intellectual tribute to his teachers⠔both classroom teachers and several whose writing taught him how to see beneath the surfaces of things.

Prague in the early twentieth century was the city of cubists, surrealists, and the Good Soldier vejk. This book takes a new approach to interwar Prague by identifying religion as an integral part of the city s cultural history. As Prague emerged as a modern city and the Czech nation gained independence, Catholics, Protestants, and those who imagined a non-sectarian religion debated questions of faith and morality. Contrary to the conventional view of modern Czech elites as atheistic, Berglund shows how they were deeply concerned with the place of religion in modern life. Based upon a wide array of sources, the monograph explores the linkages between politics, theology, and architecture in the building of new symbols and a civil religion for the first Czechoslovak republic (1918-1938). Berglund views the contest of the sacred and secular in Prague within the broader context of religious change in twentieth-century Europe. His book lays a foundation for understanding both Czech culture of the interwar period as well as the nation s and Europe s religious history in the modern age. The author takes an approach that is both interdisciplinary and biographical by focusing on important figures in the politics and culture of interwar Prague, including Tomá Masaryk, the philosopher who became Czechoslovakia s first president; his daughter Alice, founding director of the Czechoslovak Red Cross; and Joze Plecnik, the Slovenian architect who directed the renovations of Prague Castle and designed one of the city s most renowned churches. This study of the beliefs and doubts held by these and other figures shows the transition from a (mostly) Catholic tradition to a new religious conception that was modern, humanistic, and detached from any institution much like the religious beliefs held by many Europeans today.

I tu nejprobádanější krajinu můžeme objevovat stále znovu a znovu. Naši krajinu domova máme krásně vymezenou zvláštní kruhovou hradbou pohraničních hor. Kotlina Čech, sevřená tímto prstencem, je do sebe uzavřeným světem, zatímco široké úvaly Moravy se naopak otevírají jako náruč. Člověk se v té krajině učil žít a hospodařit tak dlouho, až z ní vytvořil prostor, kterému sám pro sebe začal říkat Zahrádka. Krajinu domova vnímáme jako zemský ráj, o kterém se zpívá v naší hymně. Najdeme zde mnoho koutů, kde jedinečné kouzlo a nezaměnitelná poetika Zahrádky ožívá i dnes. V této knize se spolu s námi projdete krajinou Hustopečské pahorkatiny a Pálavy, Železných hor a Žďárských vrchů, Bílých Karpat, Jizerských hor a Krkonoš, Nízkého a Hrubého Jeseníku. Podíváme se i na místa, v nichž se otiskly vzpomínky na sopky – do Českého středohoří a Slavkovského lesa. Kniha navazuje na stejnojmenný úspěšný televizní pořad, který získal prestižní hlavní cenu Tourfilmu, mezinárodního festivalu filmů s cestovatelskou tematikou. Úchvatné fotografie doprovázejí texty vyzdvihující pozoruhodnosti české a moravské krajiny a dokreslují je působivé ilustrace. Vychází v trojjazyčné verzi – česky, anglicky a německy. Fotografie Michal Matuška a Pavel Vacek Ilustrace František Žáček ------------------------------ Even the most explored land can be rediscovered again and again. Our homeland is beautifully delimited by a special rounded wall of borderline mountains. The Czech Basin, enclosed in this mountainous ring, is a world wrapped up in itself, while the wide valleys of Moravia seem to open their arms. The man has been learning to live in this land and manage it for such a long time that he created a space the man himself named a small garden. We perceive our homeland as the Paradise on Earth, the one that is sung about in the national anthem. There are many places left in our country where its unique magic and its unmistakable poetics are still alive to these days. In this book you can join us for a walk in the country of the Hustopeče Downs and the Pálava, the Iron Mountains and the Žďár Heights, the White Carpathians, the Jizera Mountains and the Giant Mountains, the Nízký and the Hrubý Jeseník. We can also visit places where memories of volcanoes left their prints – the Central Bohemian Highlands and the Emperor’s Forest. The book is a follow-up to a successful TV series with the same name, which achieved the prestigious main prize of Tourfilm, an international festival of travel movies. Breath-taking photographs are accompanied by texts emphasizing Czech and Moravian regions and supplemented with impressive illustrations. Photos Michal Matuška end Pavel Vacek Illustrations František Žáček ----------------------------- Auch die meisterforschte Landschaft können wir immer wieder neu entdecken. Unsere Heimatlandschaft ist schön eingegrenzt durch den besonderen ringförmigen Wall der Grenzgebirge. Der von diesem Ring umschlossene böhmische Kessel ist eine in sich abgeschlossene Welt, während sich dagegen die weiten Täler Mährens öffnen wie ausgebreitete Arme. Der Mensch hat so lange in dieser Landschaft leben und wirtschaften gelernt, bis er einen Raum aus ihr gemacht hat, den er für sich selbst Garten zu nennen begann. Wir nehmen unsere Heimatlandschaft wie das Paradies auf Erden wahr, von dem in unserer Hymne gesungen wird. Es gibt in unserer Landschaft noch viele Ecken, wo ihr einzigartiger Zauber und unverwechselbare Poesie lebendig bis heute ist. In diesem Buch werden Sie mit uns durch die Landschaften des Auspitzer Hügellands und der Pollauer Berge, des Eisengebirges und der Saarer Berge, der Weißen Karpaten, des Isergebirges und des Riesengebirges, des Mährischen Gesenkes und des Hohen Gesenkes wandern. Wir werden auch Orte sehen, die Erinnerungen an Vulkane bergen: das Böhmische Mittelgebirge und den Kaiserwald. Das Buch knüpft an die gleichnamige erfolgreiche Fernsehsendung an, die den renommierten Hauptpreis von Tourfilm, dem internationalen Reisefilmfestival gewonnen hat. Die Texte, die das Bemerkenswerteste der böhmischen und mährischen Landschaften hervorheben, sind begleitet von hinreißende Fotos und eindrucksvollen Illustrationen.

A brand new book from the Sunday Times and internationally bestselling author of The Silk Roads Masterly mapping out of a new world order – Evening Standard Revised and updated edition The New Silk Roads takes a fresh look at the relationships being formed along the length and breadth of the ancient trade routes today. The world is changing dramatically and in an age of Brexit and Trump, the themes of isolation and fragmentation permeating the western world stand in sharp contrast to events along the Silk Roads, where ties are being strengthened and mutual cooperation established. This prescient contemporary history provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected. Following the Silk Roads eastwards from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, Peter Frankopan assesses the global reverberations of continual shifts in the centre of power – all too often absent from headlines in the west. The New Silk Roads asks us to re-examine who we are and where we stand in the world, illuminating the themes on which all our lives and livelihoods depend. The Silk Roads, a major reassessment of world history, has sold over 1 million copies worldwide.
