Kniha - autor Cormac McCarthy, 288 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná At once brutal and tender, despairing and rashly hopeful, spare of language and profoundly moving, this work is a fierce and haunting meditation on the tenuous divide between civilization and savagery, and the essential, sometimes terrifying power of filial love.

Kniha - autor Jack Kerouac, anglicky On the Road swings to the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, generosity, chill dawns and drugs, with Sal Paradise and his hero Dean Moriarty, traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat. Now recognized as a modern classic, Kerouac's American Dream is nearer that of Walt Whitman than F. Scott Fitzgerald's, and the narrative goes racing towards the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and passion.

A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR‘An absolute joy to read and an early contender for every list of History Books of the Year’ Sunday Telegraph‘On nearly every page a random passage takes one’s breath away’ The TimesHave you ever heard the march of legions on a lonely country road? For two thousand years, the roads the Romans built have determined the flow of ideas and folktales, where battles were fought and where pilgrims trod. Almost everyone in Britain lives close to a Roman road, if only we knew where to look.In the beginning was Watling Street, the first road scored on the land when the invading Romans arrived on a cold and alien Kentish shore in 43 CE. Campaign roads rolled out to all points of the compass, forcing their way inland and as the Britons fell back, the roads pursued them relentlessly, carrying troops, supplies and military despatches. In the years of fighting that followed, as the legions pushed onwards across what is now England, into Wales and north into Scotland in search of booty, mineral wealth, land and tribute, they left behind a vast road network, linking marching camps and forts, changing the landscape, etching the story of the Roman advance into the face of the land, channelling our lives today.Christopher Hadley, acclaimed author of Hollow Places, takes us on a lyrical journey into this past, retracing and searching for an elusive Roman road that sprang from one of the busiest road hubs in Roman Britain. His passage is not always easy. Time and nature have erased many clues; bridges rotted and whole woods grew across the route. Carters found an easier ford downstream, and people broke up its milestones to mend new paths. Year after year the heavy clay swallowed whole lengths of it; the once mighty road became a bridleway, an overgrown hollow-way, a parched mark in the soil.Hadley leads us on a hunt to discover, in Hilaire Belloc’s phrase, ‘all that has arisen along the way’. Gathering traces of archaeology, history and landscape from poems, church walls, hag stones and cropmarks, oxlips, killing places, hauntings and immortals, and things buried too deep for archaeology, The Road is a mesmerising journey into two thousand years of history only now giving up its secrets.

On the Road by Jack Kerouac is the exhilarating novel that defined the Beat Generation and is a 2012 major motion picture starring Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst and Sam Riley, beautifully repackaged as part of the Penguin Essentials range.'What's your road, man? - holyboy road, madman road, rainbow road, guppy road, any road. It's an anywhere road for anybody anyhow.'Sal Paradise, young and innocent, joins the slightly crazed Dean Moriarty on a breathless, exuberant ride back and forth across the United States. Their hedonistic search for release or fulfilment through drink, sex, drugs and jazz becomes an exploration of personal freedom, a test of the limits of the American Dream.A brilliant blend of fiction and autobiography, Jack Kerouac's exhilarating novel defined the new 'Beat' generation and became the bible of the counter culture.'On the Road sold a trillion Levis and a million espresso machines, and also sent countless kids on the road. The alienation, the restlessness, the dissatisfaction were already there waiting when Kerouac pointed out the road' William Burroughs'Pop writing at its best. It changed the way I saw the world, making me yearn for fresh experience' Hanif Kureishi, Independent on SundayJack Kerouac was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1922. Educated by Jesuit brothers in Lowell, he decided to become a writer at age seventeen and developed his own writing style, which he called 'spontaneous prose'. He used this technique to record the life of the American 'traveler' and the experiences of the Beat Generation, most memorably in On the Road and also in The Subterraneans and The Dharma Bums. His other works include Big Sur, Desolation Angels, Lonesome Traveler, Visions of Gerard, Tristessa, and a book of poetry called Mexico City Blues. Jack Kerouac died in 1969.

A powerful, timely memoir of Black immigrant identity, maternal love, and a unique coming-of-age story by Emmy-winning Orange Is the New Black star Uzo Aduba. Actress Uzo Aduba - known for Emmy-winning roles in Orange Is the New Black and Mrs. America - grew up in one of the few Black families in a white Massachusetts suburb. But she and her siblings were also grounded by a fierce sense of belonging and worth that stemmed from their mother''s powerful vision for her children, and by their connection to generations of family in Nigeria. The alchemy of being out of place yet driven by fearless conviction powered Uzo to success - and fuels her intimate and inspiring memoir.Deeply mining her family history and the gripping tales handed down to her by her mother, aunts and uncles, Uzo weaves together a moving story filled with guiding lessons that are both personal and profoundly universal. Framed by two powerful turning points - Uzo''s mother''s illness and her eventual death - The Road Is Good is both a story of a young woman determined to survive early adulthood and create an identity for herself, and a testament to matriarchal power and the guiding light of maternal love.

The Road to Wigan Pier is a book in two parts: the first half is Orwell's description of working-class life in industrial communities of the north of England, the second examines his own political views. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by journalist and author Amelia Gentleman. The Road to Wigan Pier is an insightful and powerful account of lives lived in poverty and deprivation in a time of low wages and meagre government support. Orwell describes dismal housing (including the lodging house where he stays), harsh working conditions and the devastating effects of unemployment. And he also vividly describes the courage and dignity of the people he meets. In the second half of the book, Orwell examines his own political and social affiliations with an impressive ability to provoke and to question. He defends middle-class values whilst critiquing the failures of his own class, he advocates socialism whilst criticizing the socialist movement in England.

To nejlepší z beatu Originální dílo: ručně psané poznámky Jacka Kerouaca s ilustrací Dominika Ferrariho Éra: únor 1950 (poznámky), současnost (ilustrace) Region: USA a Velká Británie "Chtěl bych vyvolat tu nepopsatelně smutnou hudbu noci v Americe... Je to skutečný vnitřní zvuk země." - Jack Kerouac Americký romanopisec a básník Jack Kerouac (1922 - 1969) vyniknul jako preeminentní hlas Beat Generation, literární obrazoborec, který odhalil realitu politiky a kultury v poválečné Americe. S metodou psaní, která byla silně ovlivněna dobovým výbuchem jazzové hudby, se stala jeho "spontánní próza" novou érou populárního psaní. Kerouacovo "Na cestě" je považováno za dílo definující "Beats", v němž reprezentuje své cesty v reálném životě na pozadí jazzu a poezie. Román publikovaný v roce 1957 vznikl koncem čtyřicátých let v sérii kroužkových sešitů, které si Kerouac vzal na cesty. Písmo na zadní vazbě této kolekce pochází z jednoho takového poznámkového bloku, který byl napsán v roce 1950. V příspěvku Kerouac píše o tom, že se nevidí jako spisovatel, ale jako "aranžér", který se zaměřuje především na vnitřní hudbu, takt a rytmus, který existuje uvnitř nás všech. Kerouacova metoda psaní, inspirovaná jazzovými osobnostmi Charliem Parkerem, Dizzym Gillespiem a Theloniousem Monkem, se zaměřila na myšlenku dechu. Často zdánlivě improvizovaná slova odděloval dlouhými spojovacími čárkami, úplně eliminoval periody a omezil svojí revizi. Při společném čtení připomínají tyto přerušované fráze jazzové licky, které nabývají hudební kadence. Hudba hraje důležitou roli také v zápletce knihy Na cestě. Hlavní postavy Sal Paradise (Kerouacovo alter ego) a Dean Moriarty (zastupující Neala Cassadyho) jsou zobrazování jako nadšenci jazzu/bebopu, opakovaně líčí poslech konkrétních nahrávek a chodí do hudebních klubů, aby si poslechli své oblíbené skladby. Stejně jako hudba inspirovala Kerouaca, tak i Kerouac inspiroval budoucí hudebníky - Boba Dylana, Beatles, Patti Smith, Van Morrisona a Jim Morrisona a mnoho dalších. Ti všichni byli velmi ovlivněni jeho literárními díly. Vizuální umělci jako Dominic (Nic) Ferrari, který přispěl svým uměním na tuto vazbu, byli rovněž inspirování k tomu, aby do svých vlastních děl kombinovali Kerouacovu muzikálnost: "Inspiroval jsem se knihou Jacka Kerouaca Na cestě. Témata, která mě v knize zaujala, byla cestování, poznávání a setkání nových, zajímavých lidí. V knize je také silná přítomnost jazzové hudby. Cílem této ilustrace je zachytit plynulost a nepředvídatelnost jazzové hudby a vykreslit koncept pohybu a cestování." - Nic Ferrari Ačkoliv počáteční reakce kritiků na knihu Na cestě byla smíšená - někteří recenzenti na jeho "spontánní prózu" reagovali ostře - kniha se stala literární klasikou, která přinesla Kerouacovi velkou slávu a proslulost. V poslední době došlo k přílivu filmů inspirovaných Kerouacem a jeho kolegy z beatové generace. Samostatný film Na cestě vznikl v roce 2012, režiroval jej Walter Salles a produkoval Francis Ford Coppola. Je smutné, že právě rokenrolový životní styl, který tolik ovlivnil jeho psaní a dílo budoucích umělců, nakonec ukončil Kerouacův život. Zemřel ve věku 47 let na břišní krvácení způsobené celoživotním nadměrným pitím. A protože se blížíme ke 100. výročí narození Kerouaca, vzdává společnost Paperblanks hold jeho dílu novou kolekcí Jack Kerouac.

In January 1936, the thirty-two-year-old George Orwell left his home in London and travelled to the industrial north of England with the intention of experiencing first-hand the conditions in which the working-class poor were compelled to live their lives. During his two-month expedition he visited Manchester, Wigan and Liverpool in the north-west, then Sheffield, Leeds and Barnsley in Yorkshire, recording his impressions as he went in a diary that would later form the basis of one of the most significant works of literary reportage ever written. Part sociological survey, part polemic about the potential benefits of socialism – as well as the failures and idiosyncrasies of many of its middle-class exponents – The Road to Wigan Pier represents a unique record of a society riven by class inequality and plagued by unemployment, inadequate housing, unsafe working conditions and other social ills, as well as providing an invaluable insight into the evolution of Orwell’s political consciousness.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.If there is one man to whom I do feel myself inferior, it is a coalminer.In the mid-1930s, George Orwell was given an assignment from his publisher – to write a book about unemployment and social conditions in the economically depressed north of England. Revolutionary for its time, The Road to Wigan Pier documents Orwell’s stint in towns likes Barnsley, Sheffield and Wigan in 1936, where he met and observed working-class people living in the bleak industrial heartlands of Yorkshire and Lancashire.Orwell graphically and emphatically describes the hardships of ordinary people living in cramped slum housing, working in dangerous mines and growing hungry through malnutrition and social injustice. It is an honest, gripping and humane study that also looks at socialism as a solution to the problems facing working-class northerners – something many readers at the time were uncomfortable discussing.The Road to Wigan Pier cemented ideas that would be found in Orwell''s later works, and remains a powerful portrait of poverty, injustice and class divisions in Britain to this day.

Hlavní postavy Sal Paradise (Kerouacovo alter ego) a Dean Moriarty (zastupující Neala Cassadyho) jsou zobrazování jako nadšenci jazzu/bebopu, opakovaně líčí poslech konkrétních nahrávek a chodí do hudebních klubů, aby si poslechli své oblíbené skladby. Stejně jako hudba inspirovala Kerouaca, tak i Kerouac inspiroval budoucí hudebníky - Boba Dylana, Beatles, Patti Smith, Van Morrisona a Jim Morrisona a mnoho dalších. Ti všichni byli velmi ovlivněni jeho literárními díly. Vizuální umělci jako Dominic (Nic) Ferrari, který přispěl svým uměním na tuto vazbu, byli rovněž inspirování k tomu, aby do svých vlastních děl kombinovali Kerouacovu muzikálnost: "Inspiroval jsem se knihou Jacka Kerouaca Na cestě. Témata, která mě v knize zaujala, byla cestování, poznávání a setkání nových, zajímavých lidí. V knize je také silná přítomnost jazzové hudby. Cílem této ilustrace je zachytit plynulost a nepředvídatelnost jazzové hudby a vykreslit koncept pohybu a cestování." - Nic Ferrari Ačkoliv počáteční reakce kritiků na knihu Na cestě byla smíšená - někteří recenzenti na jeho "spontánní prózu" reagovali ostře - kniha se stala literární klasikou, která přinesla Kerouacovi velkou slávu a proslulost. V poslední době došlo k přílivu filmů inspirovaných Kerouacem a jeho kolegy z beatové generace. Samostatný film Na cestě vznikl v roce 2012, režiroval jej Walter Salles a produkoval Francis Ford Coppola. Je smutné, že právě rokenrolový životní styl, který tolik ovlivnil jeho psaní a dílo budoucích umělců, nakonec ukončil Kerouacův život. Zemřel ve věku 47 let na břišní krvácení způsobené celoživotním nadměrným pitím. A protože se blížíme ke 100. výročí narození Kerouaca, vzdává společnost Paperblanks hold jeho dílu novou kolekcí Jack Kerouac.

A major reappraisal, by the Nobel-prizewinning economist, of the relationship between capitalism and freedomDespite its manifest failures, the narrative of neoliberalism retains its grip on the public mind and the policies of governments all over the world. By this narrative, less regulation and more ‘animal spirits’ capitalism produces not only greater prosperity, but more freedom for individuals in society - and is therefore morally better. But, in The Road to Freedom Stiglitz asks, whose freedom are we – should we be – thinking about? What happens when one person’s freedom comes at the expense of another’s? Should the freedoms of corporations be allowed to impinge upon those of individuals in the ways they now do? Taking on giants of neoliberalism such as Hayek and Friedman and examining how public opinion is formed, Stiglitz reclaims the language of freedom from the right to show that far from ‘free’ – unregulated – markets promoting growth and enterprise, they in fact reduce it, lessening economic opportunities for majorities and siphoning wealth from the many to the few – both individuals and countries. He shows how neoliberal economics and its implied moral system have impacted our legal and social freedoms in surprising ways, from property and intellectual rights, to education and social media. Stiglitz’s eye, as always, is on how we might create the true human flourishing which should be the great aim of our economic and social system, and offers an alternative to that prevailing today. The Road to Freedom offers a powerful re-evaluation of democracy, economics and what constitutes a good society—and provides a roadmap of how we might achieve it.

eBook: A coming-of-age novel, \'The Road to the Open\' follows the complicated liaisons of composer, Baron Georg von Wergenthin. While a talented man, Wergenthin lacks motivation and, instead of working, prefers to socialise with members of the Viennese bourgeoisie. A committed Christian, his life becomes even more complex when he finds himself falling for a Jewish girl, Anna Rosner. Through this story, Schnitzer documents the collapse of the freethinking Austrian society, as antisemitism and patriotism start to take its place. A classic novel from one of Vienna\'s most noteworthy authors, this is ideal for those new to Schnitzler\'s body of work.

A stonkingly good novel’ SARAH WINMAN‘A beautiful, accomplished debut’ LOUISE KENNEDY''Impressive'' TLS''An absolute triumph ... I loved everything about it'' GILL HORNBYIt’s 1994 in County Donegal, Ireland, and everyone is talking about Colette Crowley – the writer, the bohemian, the woman who left her husband and sons to pursue a relationship with a married man in Dublin. But now Colette is back, and nobody knows why.Returning to the community to try and reclaim her old life, Colette quickly learns that they are unwilling to give it back to her. The man to whom she is still married is denying her access to her children, and while the legalisation of divorce might be just around the corner, Colette finds herself caught between her old life and the freedom for which she risked everything. Desperate to see her children, she enlists the help of Izzy, a housewife and mother of two, and the women forge a friendship that will send them on a spiralling journey – one toward a path of self-discovery, and the other toward tragedy.Brilliantly observed from a sharp new literary talent, The Coast Road is a novel about a closed community and the consequences of daring to move against the tide.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERA SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEARA revolutionary new history of the diffusion of Indian ideas, from the award-winning, bestselling author and co-host of the chart-topping Empire podcast‘Richly woven, highly readable ... Written with passion and verve’ Spectator‘Dazzling ... Not just a historical study but also a love letter’ Guardian‘An outstanding new account ... The most compelling retelling we have had for generations’ Financial TimesIndia is the forgotten heart of the ancient worldFor a millennium and a half, India was a confident exporter of its diverse civilisation, creating around it a vast empire of ideas. Indian art, religions, technology, astronomy, music, dance, literature, mathematics and mythology blazed a trail across the world, along a Golden Road that stretched from the Red Sea to the Pacific. William Dalrymple draws from a lifetime of scholarship to highlight India’s oft-forgotten position as the heart of ancient Eurasia. For the first time, he gives a name to this spread of Indian ideas that transformed the world. From the largest Hindu temple in the world at Angkor Wat to the Buddhism of China, from the trade that helped fund the Roman Empire to the creation of the numerals we use today (including zero), India transformed the culture and technology of its ancient world – and our world today as we know it.

eBook: Vietnam veteran Howard Walker is fleeing from a dark secret. As 62-year-old Walker drives a coach bus across America, he recounts his experiences of war trauma and his bond with the famous protest singer Philip Boothman back in New York City. Boothman pulled Walker out of the gutter, and in return, Walker has been handling shady business for the renowned songwriter. As Walker’s story unfolds, the truth about Boothman\'s ill-fated romantic affair with a Danish girl comes to light… "The Road to Alberta" is a sombre, contemporary portrayal of America, reminiscent of "The Great Gatsby." The novel beautifully explores the intricate dynamics of striving for a dream while navigating the complexities of unreciprocated love. A narrative of betrayal, friendship, commitment, art, and disillusionment. “A well-composed novel riddled with unfulfilled dreams, broken hearts, and human fate … When Brian Dan Christensen leads you around New York City, you feel just as safe as when Ellroy gives you a guided tour of L.A. or Elmore shows you Detroit.” Litteratursiden Brian Dan Christensen (b. 1970) is a Danish-American writer and translator. He has published novels, poetry, and nonfiction, has translated such diverse writers as Garrison Keillor, Christopher Isherwood, Jack Kerouac, Graham Greene, Norman Mailer, David Nicholls, and Catherine Lacey, and has appeared on A Prairie Home Companion.
