Sbírka kratších raných textů nazvaná Obecné dějiny hanebnosti tematicky i stylisticky předjímá další, známější Borgesova díla. Autor zde líčí hanebné skutky, kterých se dopustili nikoliv významní lidé píšící dějiny, ale lidé drobní a většinou neznámí. Setkáme se tu se svérázným podvodníkem z Austrálie, trpícím fóbií, s čínskou pirátkou i s americkým cynikem těžícím z touhy černých otroků po svobodě. Jednotlivé příběhy se odehrály v různých dobách a na různých místech - na Západě, v islámském světě i na Dálném východě. Autor své hrdiny neodsuzuje, etické závěry ponechává na čtenáři.

Borges celosvětově proslul nejen jako povídkář, ale též jako vynikající esejista. Jeho rozsáhlé esejistické dílo nejen významně dotváří jeho tvorbu povídkářskou, ale esej lze chápat jako základní žánr Borgesovy tvorby. Oba žánry se blíží i svými tématy, která se u Borgese stále navracejí: čas, sny, knihy a literatura... Ve třetím svazku jeho spisů se v češtině představí poprvé dvě jeho esejistické knihy: Dějiny věčnosti z r. 1936 a jeho nejznámější soubor esejí Další pátrání z r. 1952.

Borges se cítil především čtenářem. Za největší událost svého života považoval setkání s otcovou knihovnou, k řadě autorů a děl se stále znovu vracel. Pátý svazek jeho spisů obsahuje texty vztahující se pouze k literatuře: dva soubory komentářů (předmluv) k jeho oblíbeným knihám, mezi něž patří jak díla proslulá (Aeneida, Macbeth, Poeovy povídky, Whitmanova Stébla trávy, Kafkova Proměna), tak tituly a autoři českému čtenáři málo známí (např. představitelé argentinské gaučovské poezie). Samostatný soubor Devět dantovských esejů je věnován Božské komedii, které se Borges obdivoval celý život.Vydání knihy podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury České republiky.

***LONGLISTED FOR NATURE WRITING, THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE 2024***Discover the rich history of Britain''s millennia-old network of pathways, and it will be impossible to take an unremarkable walk again . . .''A nostalgic amble through the history of travel in England and Wales, and an examination of the routes that make up our modern path network. Jack Cornish interlaces titbits of travel, history, personal reflection and anecdote'' The Times''Cornish’s book delves back in history and is written with a sense of urgency. On each page you discover an enticing new vista'' Mail on Sunday--- Hundreds of thousands of miles of paths reach into – and connect – communities across England and Wales. More than just a practical way for us to walk, ride and cycle, they are an inheritance from our past, revealing how our ancestors interacted with and shaped their surroundings. From Iron Age footsteps to Anglo-Saxon mercenary trails, through Railway Age tracks and Home Army defences, our land reveals a hidden history of us. But thousands of miles are still missing from our maps, and they will be lost forever unless they are urgently reclaimed. Fighting for these paths’ survival through his work with the Ramblers Association, Jack Cornish has spent years walking and recording these forgotten routes – those that have been lost, those that have been saved and those which remain hidden in plain sight. The Lost Paths is a history of the people who have used, and in some cases created, these walkways:The drovers who herded their sheep and cattle to marketThe wanderers who travelled between workhouses, seeking shelter and subsistenceThe miners who ventured deep underground along the Cornish coastThe wartime heroes who built up Britain’s defensive infrastructure This incredible ‘ordinary’ history of the land beneath our feet reminds us just how precious these paths are, and have been, to the human story of this island. This is a celebration of an ancient network and a rallying cry to reclaim what has been lost and preserve it for future generations.---‘Marvellous. Cornish is the ideal companion on the road: interested in everything, learned, acute, and a splendid story-teller’ Charles Foster, author of Being a Beast''A rallying cry to reclaim lost routes and preserve this precious resource for future generations'' Walk Magazine

The Zahir, Paulo Coelho's new novel, is a perfect follow-on to The Alchemist. Paulo picks up the theme of the pilgrimage to Santiago but tells a very different, gripping story of love, loss and passionate obsession. The protagonist of this new novel is a renowned author who writes about spirituality and once went on pilgrimage along the road to Santiago. On a return visit, he is suddenly abandoned by his wife, who leaves no trace of herself behind. As the story unfolds the author becomes obsessed with understanding the reason for her desertion. The title comes from a tale by Jorge Luis Borges, published in his book The Aleph. In Arabic Zahir means 'visible, present and unable to go unnoticed.' It refers to something or someone that ends up being the only thing we can think of. This state of 'possession' can be understood as saintliness or insanity, with a fine line between the two. The novel is also full of comments on what it is to be rich and famous, on the meaning of money, on what motivates a writer and on the nature of marriage.

A celebration of reading, of libraries, and of the mysterious human desire to give order to the universeInspired by the process of creating a library for his fifteenth-century home near the Loire, in France, Alberto Manguel, the acclaimed writer on books and reading, has taken up the subject of libraries. “Libraries,” he says, “have always seemed to me pleasantly mad places, and for as long as I can remember I’ve been seduced by their labyrinthine logic.” In this personal, deliberately unsystematic, and wide-ranging book, he offers a captivating meditation on the meaning of libraries. Manguel, a guide of irrepressible enthusiasm, conducts a unique library tour that extends from his childhood bookshelves to the “complete” libraries of the Internet, from Ancient Egypt and Greece to the Arab world, from China and Rome to Google. He ponders the doomed library of Alexandria as well as the personal libraries of Charles Dickens, Jorge Luis Borges, and others. He recounts stories of people who have struggled against tyranny to preserve freedom of thought—the Polish librarian who smuggled books to safety as the Nazis began their destruction of Jewish libraries; the Afghani bookseller who kept his store open through decades of unrest. Oral “memory libraries” kept alive by prisoners, libraries of banned books, the imaginary library of Count Dracula, the library of books never written—Manguel illuminates the mysteries of libraries as no other writer could. With scores of wonderful images throughout, The Library at Night is a fascinating voyage through Manguel’s mind, memory, and vast knowledge of books and civilizations.

How and why birds navigate the skies, travelling from continent to continent — flying thousands of miles across the earth each autumn and spring — has continually fascinated the human imagination, but only recently have we been able to fully understand these amazing journeys.How did this revolution come about? Flight Paths is the never-before-told story of how an eccentric group of ornithologists, engineers and other pioneering scientists have harnessed nearly every technological development of the last hundred years to understand bird migration in detail - from where and when they take off, their flight paths and behaviours, their destinations and the challenges they face getting there.In this fascinating and compelling story Rebecca Heisman uncovers the secret history of an ornithological arms race that not only helped solve the mystery of bird migration using radar, radioactive isotopes, satellites and the humble aluminium band but has also given us much needed insight into how best to protect and conserve the bird life we cherish.

Penelope Lively has always been a keen gardener. This book is partly a memoir of her own life in gardens: the large garden at home in Cairo where she spent most of her childhood, her grandmother's garden in a sloping Somerset field, then two successive Oxfordshire gardens of her own, and the smaller urban garden in the North London home she lives in today. It is also a wise, engaging and far-ranging exploration of gardens in literature, from Paradise Lost to Alice in Wonderland, and of writers and their gardens, from Virginia Woolf to Philip Larkin.

Find solace in your outdoor space in this delightful horticultural journey with actress Caroline Quentin, as she draws on her life-long passion for gardening.Through the pages of this gift book, Caroline shows how much joy she gets from spending time in her garden, whether it be grappling with the best way to grow plants and vegetables, or raising seeds in her potting shed. Though she now has a large following on her Instagram account, @CQGardens, her attitude to gardening is the same as it has always been – expertise helps but is not essential. Gardening should be fun and enjoyable, filled with the simple pleasures of planning, planting, harvesting and cooking. It is also a meditative and restorative pastime, and a great way to lift your spirits.Written in a warm and engaging way that reflects her personality, Caroline tells stories of growing chillies from seed in her greenhouse, berating the thieving blackbirds in her fruit cage, and swimming in her pond singing to dragon flies and flag irises. Over the years, she has come to realise that gardening, just like life, is a series of happy accidents, unplanned successes, and baffling and frustrating failures.Illustrated by Caroline herself, this gorgeous book mixes personal stories of her life and experiences in the garden, with practical tips, recipes for food and drink, and even the occasional favourite poem. As she likes to misquote Dorothy Parker: ‘Take to horticulture, it’s cheaper than a shrink’.

In 2020, Olivia Laing began to restore a walled garden in Suffolk, an overgrown Eden of unusual plants. The work drew her into an exhilarating investigation of paradise and its long association with gardens. Moving between real and imagined gardens, from Milton’s Paradise Lost to John Clare’s enclosure elegies, from a wartime sanctuary in Italy to a grotesque aristocratic pleasure ground funded by slavery, Laing interrogates the sometimes shocking cost of making paradise on earth. But the story of the garden doesn’t always enact larger patterns of privilege and exclusion. It’s also a place of rebel outposts and communal dreams. From the improbable queer utopia conjured by Derek Jarman on the beach at Dungeness to the fertile vision of a common Eden propagated by William Morris, new modes of living can and have been attempted amidst the flower beds, experiments that could prove vital in the coming era of climate change. The result is a beautiful and exacting account of the abundant pleasures and possibilities of gardens: not as a place to hide from the world but as a site of encounter and discovery, bee-loud and pollen-laden.

Anna Housková představuje trochu jiného Borgese, než jaký je znám z četby povídek. Odkrývá Borgesovu umanutou zálibu v argentinských reáliích a jeho vztahování se ke gaučům z literatury a zabijákům z předměstí. Borges se ve svém díle napříč časem vrací k argentinským archetypům, reflektuje jejich tradici a sám k ní přispívá vytvářením mýtu předměstí Buenos Aires. Druhým těžištěm této monografie je žánr eseje. Autorka se zaměřuje nejen na rozsáhlou Borgesovu esejistiku, u nás méně známou, ale i na esejistický princip ve všech žánrech jeho díla. Argentinské atmosféře odpovídá obrazový doprovod z děl výtvarníků Borgesovy blízkých (Xul Solar, Attilio Rossi) anebo děl autorů, kteří se věnovali zpracování podobných témat jako Borges (Jindřich Pileček). Monografie je doplněna soupisem Borgesových děl přeložených do češtiny a výběrovým přehledem ohlasů na jeho tvorbu. Z autorčina úvodu: "Často zde Borgese cituji. Jeho volné přiřazování literárních nápadů je pro citáty jako stvořené: mohou stát samy, mohou být v kterémkoli autorově textu - člověk v nich pak často bloudí a hledanou větu už nenajde. Borges čtenáře buď neosloví, anebo nadchne, v nekonečně mnohoznačném díle si každý najde svého Borgese. Nejlepší je na něm potěšení z četby. Nejradši mám v této knížce jeho citáty."

So off they set through the idyllic yet perilous English countryside, in which nature thrives in abundance and summer lasts forever. And as they travel through ever-shifting geography and encounter strange voices in the fizz of shortwave radio, the harder it becomes to tell friend from foe. Creepy, dreamlike, unsettling and unforgettable - you are about to join the privileged few who come to understand exactly why we don''t go to Almanby.
