Audiokniha: Jeden z nejznámějších románů Bohumila Hrabala vypráví o krásné ženě správce pivovaru, svérázném strýci Pepinovi i o životě na maloměstě v době, kdy docházelo k velkým průmyslovým objevům, kdy probíhala překotná modernizace, kdy se "zkracovaly vzdálenosti i čas". Zkracovaly se ovšem i dámské sukně a především vlasy. Hrabal Bohumil (1914 – 1997) Bohumil Hrabal byl bezesporu jeden z nejvýznamnějších prozaiků současnosti. V díle čerpal z bohatých prožitků autentické životní zkušenosti, které s nevšední uměleckou imaginací a fantazií transformoval do svébytné grotesknosti, nadsázky a komična. Po maturitě studoval na právnické fakultě, navštěvoval ale také přednášky na FF UK. Po válce práva sice dostudoval, ale nikdy do advokacie nenastoupil. Prošel mnoha zaměstnáními, ze kterých čerpal později náměty pro svá díla. Jeho díla jsou psána zvláštním jazykem - hospodskou řečí, kterou prolínají metafory a básnický jazyk. V roce 1963 se stal spisovatelem z povolání. V sedmdesátých a osmdesátých letech nesměl publikovat. Začátkem 70. let byly Hrabalovy texty na indexu zakázaných knih, šířily se v samizdatech a opisech Tereza Bebarová (nar.1975) Tato herečka se narodila v Bohumíně v roce 1975. Už od školky vystupovala ve školních besídkách. Bylo tedy jasné, kam povedou její kroky v pozdějších letech. Vystudovala konzervatoř v Ostravě. Během studia ... Unknown localization key: "more"

V literárním průvodci Cesty s Bohumilem Hrabalem zavádí autor zájemce na rozličná místa Čech a Moravy spjatá se životem a dílem světově uznávaného spisovatele. Poutník nebo domácí čtenář postupně pozná Hrabalův rodný domek v Brně-Židenicích, pivovary v Polné a Nymburce, kde prožil dětství, a navštíví legendární pražskou uličku Na Hrázi (Věčnosti), ve které stál dům č. p. 24 a v níž na začátku padesátých let minulého století spisovatel spolu s básníkem Egonem Bondym a grafikem Vladimírem Boudníkem prožíval bohémské období legendárních "něžných barbarů". Genia loci lze dodnes zachytit i v krajině bývalé libeňské periferie, v zamyšlení můžeme postát před dosud stojící synagogou i budovou někdejšího automatu Svět.Samozřejmě nechybí návštěva chatařské oblasti v Kersku a jejího okolí. Nelze minout ani hospody hojně navštěvované Bohumilem Hrabalem a jeho přáteli, od těch obyčejných až po věhlasné, jako jsou restaurace U Pinkasů a světově proslulá pivnice U Zlatého tygra, kde v roce 1994 pil pivo s Václavem Havlem a americkým prezidentem Billem Clintonem.Kniha přináší řadu zajímavých Hrabalových fotografií a dosud nepublikovaných unikátních dokumentů z archivu autora. Tím neplní jen průvodcovskou úlohu, ale stává se literární prací odkazující k sebraným spisům a monografii Bohumila Hrabala.

Kniha - autor Jakub Češka, česky Přestože je tvorbě Bohumila Hrabala věnována značná pozornost, knih, které kladou důraz na detailní rozbor jeho klíčových literárních děl (v předkládané knize to jsou: Obsluhoval jsem anglického krále, Hlučná samota a raná novela Jarmilka), je jako šafránu. Takto vedená analýza může napomoci vymanit Hrabala z publicistických klišé, jakými jsou hospodský vypravěč, pábitel, zapisovatel hovorů a kronikář nejrůznějších profesí. Hrabal není ani v nejmenším autentický zapisovatel života, nýbrž vášnivý spisovatel, který se snaží v obtížných podmínkách dozorované literární produkce uhájit právo na svobodu tvorby. O tom, nakolik svébytným, literárně rafinovaným a autonomním spisovatelem Bohumil Hrabal byl, svědčí také analýza lektorských posudků z času normalizace. Z ní je totiž patrné, jak je krátkozraké přehlížet tuto část Hrabalovy tvorby. Nejen že ji napsal ve svém vrcholném tvůrčím období, navíc se teprve v něm stává autentickým...

Audiokniha: Po Příbězích Petra Šabacha, kterými Centrum Paraple a vydavatelství Radioservis zahájily edici čtení z české prózy, jsme sáhli po povídkách Bohumila Hrabala. Mimochodem, víte, že se tento autor pomalu, ale jistě sává ve světě největším a nejznámějším českým spisovatelem? Tak teď to víte. Hrabal je jedinečný. Tím, jak psal, i tím, o čem psal. Byl fascinován tajemstvím a skrytou krásou nehezkých míst, všedních věcí a malých lidských osudů. Přes svůj psací stroj horečně hledal způsob, jak přenést své okouzlení na nás. Podroboval při tom češtinu zatěžkávacím zkouškám, zda je tohoto přenosu schopna. Jsem přesvědčen, že ji prověřil dokonale, a nezávidím překladatelům do jiných jazyků jejich těžký úkol. Povídka je dobrý literární útvar. Svou krátkostí nutí autora k hutnosti. Slovo v povídce jako by mělo větší specifickou váhu než v románu. Byl bych rád, kdybyste si na Hrabalových slovech pochutnali stejně jako herci, kteří je pronášejí. Přibalili jsme jednu lahůdku: povídku, kterou čte sám Bohumil Hrabal. Když k tomu všemu ještě dodám, že veškerý výtěžek z prodeje tohoto CD jde na pomoc vozíčkářům. Můžu vám spolu s jednou Hrabalovou postavou už jen říci: "Nekupte to..." Zdeněk Svěrák

Spisovatel a doktor práv Bohumil Hrabal prošel řadou profesí: byl skladníkem, výpravčím, pojišťovacím agentem, dělníkem v hutích, baličem starého papíru. Myšlení autora spojovaného s živelným vypravěčstvím a hospodskou historkou mělo ovšem i duchovní rozměr. To, co pozorní čtenáři dosud jen tušili, potvrdil nedávný nález nahrávek Hrabalových adventních promluv na faře v Libici nad Cidlinou. Už jako sedmdesátník v nich Hrabal nejen odhaluje vzácnou citlivost k posvátnému rozměru života, ale vykládá své odmítnutí právnické kariéry a příklon k lidem na dně jako svou cestu "malého krista". Pavel Hošek je profesorem religionistiky na Evangelické teologické fakultě UK. Soustavně se věnuje duchovnímu rozměru krásné literatury, mj. v díle Jaroslava Foglara, E. T. Setona, J. R. R. Tolkiena či C. S. Lewise.

A classic of postwar literature, a small masterpiece of humour, humanity and heroism from one of the best Czech writers For twenty-two-year-old Milos, bumbling apprentice at a sleepy Czech railway station, life is full of worries: his burdensome virginity, his love for the pretty conductor Masha, the scandalous goings-on in the station master's office. Beside them, the part he will come to play against the occupying Germans seems a simple affair, in Bohumil Hrabal's touching, absurd masterpiece of humour, humanity and heroism. Closely Watched Trains, which became the award-winning Jiri Menzel film of the 'Prague Spring', is a masterpiece that fully justifies Hrabal's reputation as one of the best Czech writers of the twentieth century.

V knize Bohumil Hrabal neidylický vychází vůbec poprvé kompletní přepis hovorů Bohumila Hrabala z adventních setkání na evangelické faře v Libici nad Cidlinou z první poloviny osmdesátých let. Objevitelem těchto téměř zapomenutých nahrávek je profesor Pavel Hošek (nahrávky tehdy pořídil Jiří Hofman). Dílčí úryvky dosud publikoval ve své převratné a čtenářsky velice úspěšné monografii Evangelium podle Bohumila Hrabala. Interpretačním klíčem se staly též v jeho hrabalovské "čítance" s názvem Bohové jste vy. Kompletní adventní Hrabal vychází v rozsahu bezmála sedmdesáti tiskových stran vůbec poprvé. Monografie zaměřená na skryté a přehlížené aspekty Hrabalovy tvorby vychází z mezinárodní konference, která se konala v dubnu roku 2024 v Nymburce.

Kniha - autor Josef Král, 352 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Osobité svědectví o setkáních se spisovatelem Bohumilem Hrabalem v letech 1984-1986. Hranaté míčky s hřebíčky I. - II. pokračují v hledání vlastní identity "v domečku pod Dubovou strání", sny a touhy souzní s těsnou blízkostí přírody a kontrastují se světem totality. Sametové míčky s hřebíčky - poslední část trilogie zobrazuje nadšení nad nabytou svobodou po roce 1989, ale i obavy, "abychom se nedožili zpotvořené demokracie… proč nejsem klidný, vždyť nad městem už nezáří rudé hvězdy? jak mohu být, když se mezi nás derou včerejší policejní psi?"

Audiokniha: Bohumil Hrabal patří k vrcholným zjevům české literatury druhé poloviny 20. století, jeho dílo je překládáno do všech světových jazyků. Pro edici audiokniha se jeví tedy jako autor nejvhodnější. Kniha Ostře sledované vlaky vyšla poprvé v roce 1965 a v následujícím roce byla geniálně zfilmována Jiřím Menzlem. Film získal Oskara a jako jediný český snímek se umístil v anketě 100 nejlepších filmů světa. Hrabalův básnivě obrazný jazyk má moc uchvátit čtenáře i posluchače, takže strhující děj knihy sledujeme téměř bezdechu. Příběh je monologem mládence, nadšeného eléva Miloše Hrmy, který sleduje a komentuje katastrofy konce války na malém českém nádraží a současně prožívá milostné trápení svými panickými skrupulemi. Vnitřní problémy Milošovy se prolínají s realitou války v tragikomické směsici. On sám i další lidsky uchopené figurky jeho spolupracovníků - přednosty stanice, konduktérky Mášenky, telegrafistky Zdeničky a výpravčího Hubičky, řeší umanutě směšné každodenní problémy a vzápětí jsou jakoby mimochodem schopni nevšedních hrdinských činů. Interpret Kryštof Hádek zosobňuje čistotu mládí, je však také již zkušeným hercem, neboť od svých šesti let pracuje v rozhlase a dabingových studiích. Má tedy šanci stát se modelem hlavního hrdiny tohoto románu a utkat se s mýtem dosavadního filmového vzoru. Oskarový román v edici audiokniha!
