Honour Book, Australian Children’s Book Council Book of the Year 2023.

Song in the Novel investigates the variety of types of songs present in novels, from French romances, ballads, folk songs, opera, and opéra-comique, to café-concert music, blues and jazz, and more recent popular music. Throughout, literary scholars, musicologists, and cultural historians analyse novels written in a range of languages, including English, French, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. Using a range of interdisciplinary and comparative material, Song in the Novel explores the way that songs can be present in novels, from the inclusion of musical scores to broader practices of citation and allusion. It interrogates the function of song in the novel, considering its importance for plot, character, and setting. Finally, it addresses the reader''s involvement in these songs — whether through immediate recognition or further research — with the result that they may participate in what Lawrence Kramer describes as a ''song pact'' with the author, akin to the intimate connections between characters enabled through song in the novel.

The undisputed pioneer of the horror, detective and science-fiction genres, Edgar Allan Poe was just as influential as a poet as he is now a celebrated writer of short stories.

Kniha - autor Edgar Allan Poe, 48 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Poeova slavná báseň „The Raven“ znovu vychází v překladu Tomáše Jacka (druhé vydání). V dosavadním úsilí českých umělců sahajících po tomto překladatelském grálu představuje Jackův mistrný převod naprosto zlomový bod. Je to totiž poprvé, co překladatel věnuje vyváženou pozornost veškerým aspektům původního textu Poeovy básně, aniž by některé nadměrně akcentoval, jiné zas deformoval či opomíjel. Postupuje přitom s matematickou důkladností, avšak rovněž s neobyčejným jazykovým citem. Pro Jacka–překladatele je maximální obsahová přesnost stejnou samozřejmostí jako zachování rytmického a rýmového schématu. Jacko–básník čtenářům ovšem zároveň dokonale zprostředkovává přirozený a mluvný jazyk originálu: živý jazyk oproštěný od plytkých přirovnání, metafor, slovosledných veletočů a laciných poetických příkras, zato však plný idiomů, repeticí a v neposlední řadě zvukomalebných prostředků.

This book establishes “Confucian Literature” as a multidisciplinary genre. By breaking down the barriers between literature and philosophy, this book opens the field of Chinese literature to new interpretive methods, and brings Confucian values to readers through literature. The anthology is a selection of 28 literary works—12 poems and 16 prose pieces—by 21 authors from the Tang and Song Dynasties (618-1279). The translations, arranged side by side with the original texts, strive to remain as faithful as possible to the wording of the source material, and conveying its meaning, style, and beauty. The commentary investigates philosophical discourse, locates Confucian values, and points to where literature joins philosophy. This book fills an important gap for students in the field of Chinese studies and courses in Confucian Literature.
