Vejce a já - Betty MacDonaldová

Slavný autobiografický román popisuje se značným odlehčením život na slepičí farmě, kterou s manželem Bobem založili a zvelebili - v civilizací nedotčeném, panenském koutě severozápadní Ameriky. Život v primitivních podmínkách a s nelaskavým manželem nebyl pro ženu zvyklou na město uspokojivý. Kniha je odrazem prvního manželství americké spisovatelky, která své nepříliš šťastné manželství na zapadlém venkově zažehnávala tím, že o něm s humorem psala. Kniha se po svém vydání v roce 1945 stala okamžitým bestsellerem a brzy byla přeložena do většiny světových jazyků. Sarkasmus autorky se trefil do všeoebecné nálady panující těsně po válce. Autorka i její rodina si zažila období slávy, pozornosti médií a zančně si polepšila finančně. Stojí také na počátku tzv. ženské literatury.

Paní Láryfáry - Betty MacDonaldová - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Koho by občas nepotrápila nimravka nebo mlátilka, že? Naštěstí je tu paní Láryfáry, kouzelná přítelkyně všech rošťáků! Paní Láryfáry je docela maličká, na zádech má hrb a voní po vanikových rohlíčcích. Bydlí v domku postaveném vzhůru nohama se svým psem Darebou a kočkou Ťapkou a všechny děti ji moc rády navštěvují. Kluci hledají na zahradě poklad, co tu zakopal její nebožtík manžel – pirát a holčičky si zkoušejí její parádní převleky a pěstují na záhonech květiny. Nejen že si paní Láryfáry s dětmi rozumí mnohem víc než s dospělými, ale zná taky protilék na spoustu jejich zvláštních neduhů, které přidělávají rodičům vrásky na čele. A tak jí maminky brzy začnou volat, aby se poradily, jak léčit dětské nemoci jako hubatida, lakomice, ještěchvilkína nebo čurbesajda. Paní Láryfáry ale nerozdává kouzelné pilulky, kdepak. Zná spoustu chytrých rad a legračních návodů, díky kterým se děti vyléčí samy a rády. Betty MacDonaldová (1908–1958) Betty MacDonaldová se narodila do početné a svérázné rodiny, která se často stěhovala. Ve dvaceti letech se Betty vdala a odešla na odlehlou slepičí farmu. Tuto svou „drůbeží“ etapu pak zachytila v knize Vejce a já, románové prvotině, která jí zajistila okamžitý úspěch. Po vypuknutí Velké hospodářské krize se Betty s dvěma dcerami vrátila za rodinou do Seattlu. Zde pak MacDonaldovi vedli sice nesnadný, zato příhodami nabitý život, který Betty později popsala v memoárech Co život dal a vzal. Knihy Betty MacDonaldové si získaly srdce milionů čtenářů díky jejímu neutuchajícímu optimismu a osobitému humoru. Dana Syslová (1950) Dětství strávila Dana Syslová na venkově u prarodičů, matčina profese knihovnice ji přivedla k zálibě ve čtení a v době dospívání zcela propadla divadlu. Vystudovala herectví na DAMU a ještě před dokončením studií získala angažmá v Městských divadlech pražských, kde strávila třicet let (1964–1994). Objevila se v desítkách filmových a televizních rolí a věnuje se také dabingu, za který získala Cenu Františka Filipovského. Její hlas je spojený zejména s herečkou Helen Mirren, ale propůjčila jej také Dianě Keaton, Vanesse Redgrave, Susan Sarandon a řadě dalších. Díky svému osobitému projevu se prosadila v rozhlase, kde se stala například hlavní protagonistkou rozhlasového seriálu Život je pes. Pejsci jsou zároveň jejím velkým hobby.

Kniha - autor Silvia Federici, 304 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná A cult classic since its publication in the early years of this century, Caliban and the Witch is Silvia Federici's history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages through the European witch-hunts, the rise of scientific rationalism and the colonisation of the Americas, it gives a panoramic account of the often horrific violence with which the unruly human material of pre-capitalist societies was transformed into a set of predictable and controllable mechanisms. It Is a study of indigenous traditions crushed, of the enclosure of women's reproductive powers within the nuclear family, and of how our modern world was forged in blood.

Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith’s son from Putney emerges from the spring’s bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; he has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry’s regime to breaking point, Cromwell’s robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the future. But can a nation, or a person, shed the past like a skin? Do the dead continually unbury themselves? What will you do, the Spanish ambassador asks Cromwell, when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone close to him?With The Mirror and the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies.

The Colonel and the Eunuch - Mai Jia

The phenomenal #1 Chinese bestseller, with over 3 million copies sold. This is a searing exploration of what makes a hero: a literary masterpiece, available in the English language for the very first time.The boy grows up in a small village in south China listening to stories about the Colonel: some say he was a legendary army doctor during the war, some say he was a traitor to the Party, still others say he is a wicked sex machine. The stories are bawdy and mesmerizing, always larger than life.Yet in reality, the Colonel is just a middle-aged man who loves his cat. And why on earth does everyone call him 'the Eunuch'?From these disparate sources, the boy tries to piece together who the Colonel really is, just as he himself grows up in a rapidly changing China. It is not until many years later, when the boy also becomes a middle-aged man, that he would look back and finally solve the puzzle.The Colonel and the Eunuch is Mai Jia's first new novel in eight years and his most ambitious work to date. An exciting departure from spy thrillers, this is a coming-of-age story, a family saga, as well as a searing exploration of what makes a hero. The Colonel is Mai Jia's singular creation: an almost mythic figure shrouded in the tragedy of war and history, whose story will move even the most stone-hearted to tears.

The Sound and the Fury - William Faulkner

A complex, intense American novel of family from the winner of the Nobel Prize for LiteratureWith an introduction by Richard HughesEver since the first furore was created on its publication in 1929, The Sound and the Fury has been considered one of the key novels of this century. Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives, the novel explores intense, passionate family relationships where there is no love, only self-centredness. At its heart, this is a novel about lovelessness - 'only an idiot has no grief; only a fool would forget it.What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts?'

The Emperor and the Endless Palace - Huang Justinian

“What if I told you that the feeling we call love is actually the feeling of metaphysical recognition, when your soul remembers someone from a previous life?” In the year 4 BCE, an ambitious courtier is called upon to seduce the young emperor—but quickly discovers they are both ruled by blood, sex and intrigue. In 1740, a lonely innkeeper agrees to help a mysterious visitor procure a rare medicine, only to unleash an otherworldly terror instead. And in present-day Los Angeles, a college student meets a beautiful stranger and cannot shake the feeling they’ve met before. Across these seemingly unrelated timelines woven together only by the twists and turns of fate, two men are reborn, lifetime after lifetime. Within the treacherous walls of an ancient palace and the boundless forests of the Asian wilderness to the heart-pounding cement floors of underground rave scenes, our lovers are inexplicably drawn to each other, constantly tested by the worlds around them. As their many lives intertwine, they begin to realize the power of their undying love—a power that transcends time itself…but one that might consume them both.

The Martyr and the Red Kimono - Naoko Abe

The remarkable true story of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, and the two men in war-torn Japan whose lives he changed forever. On the 14th of August 1941, a Polish priest named Maximilian Maria Kolbe was murdered in Auschwitz. Kolbe's life had been remarkable.Fiercely intelligent and driven, he founded a movement of Catholicism and spent several years in Nagasaki, ministering to the 'hidden Christians' who had emerged after centuries of oppression. A Polish nationalist as well as a priest, he gave sanctuary to fleeing refugees and ran Poland's largest publishing operation, drawing the wrath of the Nazis. His death was no less remarkable: he volunteered to die, saving the life of a fellow prisoner.It was an act that profoundly transformed the lives of two Japanese men. Tomei Ozaki was just seventeen when the US dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, destroying his home and his family. Masatoshi Asari worked on a farm in Hokkaido during the war and was haunted by the inhumane treatment of prisoners in a nearby camp.Forged in the crucible of an unforgiving war, both men drew inspiration from Kolbe's sacrifice, dedicating their lives to humanity and justice. Ozaki followed in his footsteps and became a friar. Asari created cherry trees as peace offerings.In The Martyr and the Red Kimono, award-winning author Naoko Abe weaves together a deeply moving and inspirational true story of resistance, sacrifice, guilt and atonement.

Bridgerton: The Duke and I (Bridgertons Book 1) - Julia Quinnová

In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince - while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable . . . but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society - just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend's sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm-at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London's elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule . . .

The Devil and Miss Prym

A stranger arrives in a remote mountain village, searching for the answer to a question that torments him: are human beings, in essence, good or evil? A community devoured by greed, cowardice and fear. A man persecuted by the ghosts of his painful past. A young woman searching for happiness. In one eventful week, each of them will face questions of life, death and power, and each of them will have to choose their own path. Will they choose good or evil? The remote village of Viscos is the setting for this extraordinary struggle. A stranger arrives, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. In welcoming the mysterious foreigner, the whole village becomes an accomplice to his sophisticated plot, which will forever mark their lives. In this stunning novel, Paulo Coelho dramatizes the struggle within every soul between light and darkness, and its relevance to our everyday struggles: to dare to follow our dreams, to have the courage to be different and to master the fear that prevents us from truly living. The Devil and Miss Prym is a story charged with emotion, in which the integrity of being human meets a terrifying test.

From Rhetoric to Aesthetics: Wit and Esprit in the English and French Theoretical Writings of the Late Seventeenth and Early Eighteenth Centuries - Kl

eBook: Práce se zabývá především anglickým termínem wit v jeho moderním i historickém kontextu. Dále se zabývá literárními a estetickými důsledky pojmů wit a esprit a jejich použitím v teoretických spisech několika kritiků v období raně moderní Anglie a Francie. Práce má dva hlavní cíle. Prvním cílem je přehodnocení anglického pojmu wit, který je dnes považován za poněkud zastaralý výrazový prostředek historických poetických systémů a prezentovat jej jako životaschopnou a užitečnou součást současného uměleckého diskurzu. Druhým cílem této práce je poskytnout srovnávací výklad raně moderních anglických a francouzských teoretických textů zabývající se termíny wit a esprit.
