Arthur’s Hall - Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann - e-kniha
eBook: This early work by E. T. A. Hoffmann was originally published in 1816. Born in Konigsberg, East Prussia in 1776, Hoffmann\'s family were all jurists, and during his youth he was initially encouraged to pursue a career in law. However, in his late teens Hoffman became increasingly interested in literature and philosophy, and spent much of his time reading German classicists and attending lectures by, amongst others, Immanuel Kant. Hoffman went on to produce a great range of both literary and musical works. Probably Hoffman\'s most well-known story, produced in 1816, is \'The Nutcracker and the Mouse King\', due to the fact that - some seventy-six years later - it inspired Tchaikovsky\'s ballet The Nutcracker. In the same vein, his story \'The Sandman\' provided both the inspiration for Leo Delibes\'s ballet Coppelia, and the basis for a highly influential essay by Sigmund Freud, called \'The Uncanny\'. (Indeed, Freud referred to Hoffman as the \"unrivalled master of the uncanny in literature.\") Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900\'s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.

Bohato fabulovaný románový príbeh kapucína Medarda. Strhujúco vyrozprávaný E. T. A. Hoffmannom, klasikom nemeckej literatúry. Vťahuje čitateľa do hlbín ľudskej duše, do schizofrénie jej intímnych poryvov vyvolávaných ustavične sa meniacimi vratkými polohami na tenkej hranici medzi dobrom a zlom. Autor virtuózne hrá (sám aj hudobný skladateľ) na citlivých strunách tajomna až príšerna, istôt človeka i jeho vnútornej rozorvanosti, náhle meniac hudobný motív aj tóninu, aby nakoniec vyviedol skladbu do symfonickej harmónie. Majstrovsky vykresľuje (sám aj maliar) scény blaha i najhrozivejšej záhuby, frivolnej pýchy i pokornej kajúcnosti, až naostatok jeho dielo vyusťuje do zátišia vnútornej vyrovnanosti.

Hoffmann totiž předběhl svou dobu a stvořil dílo, které je svou formou a důmyslnou kompozicí vskutku ojedinělé: sám Hoffmann v něm vystupuje jako vydavatel, jenž vyhověl přání svého přítele a rozhodl se knižně vydat memoáry jistého „mladého autora skvělého nadání“, jímž je ve skutečnosti kocour, který si říká Mour. Záhy se ovšem ukáže, že učený kocour do svého rukopisu omylem zamíchal stránky z jiného textu, který objevil u svého pána, a sice z knihy pojednávající o životě geniálního skladatele a kapelníka Johanna Kreislera. Tyto stránky, které kocour používal dílem jako podložku, dílem jako piják, byly nedopatřením rovněž vytištěny, a tak se ve výsledné podobě díla jakoby omylem prolínají dvě nezávislé dějové linie – satiricky vyznívající autobiografie poněkud samolibého kocoura-literáta a tajuplný příběh, přesněji řečeno fragmenty příběhu, výstředního romantického hrdiny-umělce Johanna Kreislera vystaveného všemožným protivenstvím. Životní názory kocoura Moura jsou tedy polyfonním dílem, svou výstavbou připomínajícím princip hudebního kontrapunktu. Zdánlivě nesouvisející příběhy se totiž ve skutečnosti doplňují, prostupují, jeden v druhém se zrcadlí a vzájemně osvětlují. Právě prolínání obou příběhů činí z četby tohoto „dvojrománu“ nevšední čtenářský požitek. Řečeno slovy překladatele Hanuše Karlacha: „Tyto posuny, zrcadlení, přeskoky jsou zdrojem humoru, který má mnoho poloh, od laskavé úsměvnosti přes ironickou jízlivost až k satirické hořkosti; který však, a to je pro nás podstatné, se realizuje až ve čtenářově mysli, čtenářovou imaginací, která teprve dotváří dílo v komplementární celek a se kterou spisovatel zcela záměrně takto počítá. Tím vším je román nejen výsostným literárním dokladem doby, ale i rukavicí pravé modernosti hozenou přes průrvu času literárním tvůrcům soudobého světa, podnětem k zamyšlení, jaké že to dnes prvky činí literaturu vpravdě uměním.“Ernst Theodor amadeus Hoffmann, známější jako E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776–1822), byl německý spisovatel, hudební skladatel, dirigent, kritik, malíř a právník. Jako umělec a myslitel navázal na jenské romantiky, rozvíjel myšlenky Friedricha Schlegela a Novalise, například učení o univerzálnosti umění, romantické ironii a syntéze umění. Proslul především jako autor fantaskních a satirických děl. Jeho prozaické dílo sestává zejména z řady povídek, novel a také dvou románů. Mezi jeho nejznámější díla patří například Rytíř Gluck, Slečna ze Scudery, Mistr Blecha, sbírka povídek Noční kousky, Ďáblův elixír nebo Životní názory kocoura Moura. Je také autorem prózy Louskáček a myší král, jež se stala předlohou pro známý balet.

eBook: Dva autoři – lingvistka a literární vědec – se ve svých individuálních i společných studiích zaměřují na široce chápanou dialogičnost jako základ výstavby různých typů textů a snaží se uplatňovat dialogismus jako analytickou metodu. Ve čtyřech oddílech knihy věnují pozornost 1) dialogům korespondenčním (dopisům významných osobností české kultury, jako jsou M. Aleš, J. Neruda, K. Čapek, J. Voskovec a J. Werich, J. Kolář, ale i dopisům současných mladých lidí a korespondenci elektronické); 2) dialogům dramatickým (především v současných českých hrách: dvě hry cimrmanovské, Havlovo Odcházení aj.); 3) dialogům intersémiotickým (mezi výtvarníky a slovesnými umělci: ať už vznikaly ilustrace, koláže, fotografie, komiksy atd. jako reakce na verbální texty, nebo naopak texty byly inspirovány díly výtvarnými); 4) textům (nejen uměleckým), které se vyznačují oscilací mezi dialogem a monologem: Dykova Milá sedmi loupežníků, Kunderovy Monology či kázání Tomáše Halíka…

The Fat and the Thin - Émile Zola - e-kniha
eBook: "Respectable people...What bastards!"Rake-thin and exhausted prisoner Florent, wrongly convicted during the 1848 Revolution, escapes and seeks refuge with his half-brother in Paris. Florent finds a job at the local central market Les Halles. Initially he is met with a baffled but friendly warmth. But this warmth soon erodes into a poisonous animosity in an atmosphere shot with insidious political intrigue, petty rivalries and perfidious gossip from the "respectable people", that impinge upon the Florent's safety and wellbeing. 'The Fat and the Thin' is the third installment of the 'Les Rougon-Macquart' series packed with powerful social commentary comparing those in power (the fat) to those in the lower classes (the thin). The allegories of the burgeoning Parisian market stalls are so poignant that the reader would be forgiven for thinking this is a story of anthropomorphism, where the characters have turned into the food they buy and sell. Yet, simultaneously rebuffed with depictions of abject poverty, this is an unforgettable novel reminiscent of 'The Ladies' Paradise' and 'Nana'. It comes as little surprise that literary icons Charles Dickens and Anthony Bourdain cited Zola among their favourite authors.

Smithy and the Hun - Edgar Wallace - e-kniha
eBook: Between 1904 and 1918, Wallace collected tales about life in the British Army and the escapades and adventures of the troops. These led him to create the eponymous character, ‘Smithy.’ The third book in the series, ‘Smithy and the Hun’ sees the eponymous soldier and his two mates, Nobby Clark, and Spud Murphy, sent to fight in the First World War. However, rather than blood and bullets, this story focuses on our hapless heroes’ hilarious antics. Light-hearted and fun for Wallace fans of all ages. Initially published in the Daily Mail, the ´Smithy´ series features a bunch of short stories about the everyday life of the soldiers in the British military. Born in London, Edgar Wallace (1875 – 1932) was an English writer so prolific, that his publisher claimed that he was responsible for a quarter of all books sold in England. Leaving school at the age of 12, Wallace made his first steps into the literary world by selling newspapers on the corner of Fleet Street. He worked as a war correspondent after joining the army at age 21, which honed his writing abilities. This led to the creation of his first book, ‘The Four Just Men.’ Wallace is best remembered as the co-creator of ‘King Kong,’ which has been adapted for film 12 times (most notably directed by ‘Lord of the Rings’ director, Peter Jackson, and starring Jack Black and Naomi Watts). However, he leaves behind an extensive body of work, including stories such as ‘The Crimson Circle’ and ‘The Flying Squad.’
