'It isn't running away they're afraid of. We wouldn't get far. It's those other escapes, the ones you can open in yourself, given a cutting edge'. Offred is a Handmaid. She has only one function: to breed. If she refuses to play her part she will, like all dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. She may walk daily to the market and utter demure words to other Handmaid's, but her role is fixed, her freedom a forgotten concept. Offred remembers her old life - love, family, a job, access to the news. It has all been taken away. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire.

A dazzling collection of fifteen stories from Margaret Atwood, the internationally acclaimed, award-winning author of The Handmaid's Tale and The TestamentsMargaret Atwood is celebrated as one of the most gifted storytellers in the world.These stories explore the full warp and weft of experience, from two best friends disagreeing about their shared past, to the right way to stop someone from choking; from a daughter determining if her mother really is a witch, to what to do with inherited relics such as World War II parade swords.They feature beloved cats, a confused snail, Martha Gellhorn, George Orwell, philosopher-astronomer-mathematician Hypatia of Alexandria, a cabal of elderly female academics, and an alien tasked with retelling human fairy tales.At the heart of the collection is a stunning sequence that follows a married couple as they travel the road together, the moments big and small that make up a long life of love -- and what comes after.The glorious range of Atwood's creativity and humanity is on full beam in these tales, which by turns delight, illuminate and quietly devastate.

„It’s got a thunderstorm in it. And revenge. Definitely revenge.’ Felix is at the top of his game as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Theatre Festival. His productions have amazed and confounded. Now he’s staging a Tempest like no other: not only will it boost his reputation, it will heal emotional wounds. Or that was the plan. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda. And also brewing revenge. After twelve years, revenge finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his Tempest and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It’s magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall? Margaret Atwood’s novel take on Shakespeare’s play of enchantment, revenge and second chances leads us on an interactive, illusion-ridden journey filled with new surprises and wonders of its own.Margaret Atwood is the author of more than forty books of fiction, poetry and critical essays including The Handmaid’s Tale, the Booker-winning The Blind Assassin, the MaddAddam trilogy and her latest novel, The Heart Goes Last. Her work has received many awards around the world. She has also worked as a cartoonist, illustrator, librettist, playwright and puppeteer. Her first encounters with Shakespeare took place in the 1950s at her Toronto high school, and she has consistently named him as one of the most important influences on her own work. 'The Tempest is, in some ways, an early multi-media musical. If Shakespeare were working today he’d be using every special effect technology now makes available. But The Tempest is especially intriguing because of the many questions it leaves unanswered. What a strenuous pleasure it has been to wrestle with it!'

The collection of a lifetime from the bestselling novelist, poet -- and cultural phenomenonBefore she became one of the world's most important and loved novelists, Margaret Atwood was a poet. Dearly is her first collection in over a decade. It brings together many of her most recognisable and celebrated themes, but distilled -- from minutely perfect descriptions of the natural world to startlingly witty encounters with aliens, from pressing political issues to myth and legend.By turns moving, playful and wise, the poems gathered in Dearly are about absences and endings, ageing and retrospection, but also about gifts and renewals. They explore bodies and minds in flux, as well as the everyday objects and rituals that embed us in the present. Werewolves, sirens and dreams make their appearance, as do various forms of animal life and fragments of our damaged environment.Dearly is a pure Atwood delight, and long-term readers and new fans alike will treasure its insight, empathy and humour.

Kočičí oko je kouzelná skleněnka, která mění svět. Z dívky, která se skrze ni dívala, vyrostla uznávaná malířka, jejíž život i dílo silně poznamenaly zážitky z dětství a dospívání. Když se Elaine po letech vrací do rodného Toronta, je to pro ni zároveň cesta do hloubi vlastní paměti. Nejostřeji vystupují vzpomínky na Cordelii, nemilosrdnou a jindy nečekaně labilní vůdkyní skupiny dívek, která Elaine kdysi šikanovala. Román zasazený do Kanady druhé poloviny 20. století sahá od konce druhé světové války až do osmdesátých let a krom toho, že je brilantní sondou do dívčí psychiky a nevyzpytatelných a mnohdy krutých pravidel, jež ovládají přátelství mezi dívkami, nabízí také neotřelý pohled na řadu kulturních fenoménů té doby, včetně feminismu a různých proudů moderního umění. "Kočičí oko je naprosto nevšední a stojí za pozornost, je vtipné, ale právě tak i vážné, a překypuje zázračnou moudrostí."

Set in a Lower East Side tenement in the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns, Fourteen Days is an irresistibly propulsive collaborative novel from the Authors Guild, with an unusual twist: each character in this diverse, eccentric cast of New York neighbors has been secretly written by a different, major literary voice—from Margaret Atwood and Celeste Ng to Tommy Orange and John Grisham. One week into the COVID-19 shutdown, tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants—some of whom have barely spoken to each other—become real neighbors. In this Decameron-like serial novel, general editors Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldn’t escape when the pandemic hit. A dazzling, heartwarming, and ultimately surprising narrative, Fourteen Days reveals how beneath the horrible loss and suffering, some communities managed to become stronger.

Historický román Alias Grace je založen na skutečných událostech, vraždách Thomase Kinneara a Nancy Montgomeryové, z nichž byla obviněna mladičká služebná Grace Marksová a sluha James McDermott. Za mladou Grace, trpící ztrátou paměti, přijíždí do věznice po deseti letech mladý psychiatr Simon Jordan, aby se v ní pokusil vzkřísit pohřbené vzpomínky a zjistil, jestli zločin skutečně spáchala. Během dlouhých rozhovorů hledá cestu do její paměti skrz sny a dotazy na dětství strávené v Irsku, odkud se celá rodina přesunula do Kanady za lepším životem. Přes původně čistě profesionální zájem o Gracin případ se postupně zaplétá do jejího příběhu. Gracino vyprávění i Jordanovy životní peripetie se odehrávají v kulisách Kanady první poloviny 19. století. Propracovaný historický román patří mezi nejdůležitější a nejčtenější díla Margaret Atwoodové - v roce 2017 podle něj natočila společnost Netflix oceňovaný televizní seriál. "Alias Grace uhání kupředu tempem komerčního román a má sílu budoucí klasiky." - Washington Post Book World "Ať už je Grace z pera Margaret Atwoodové zloduška, nebo oběť, vždycky je to fascinující společnice." - People "V románu Alias Grace je všechno, co má fantastická knížka mít: napětí, tajemství, vzrušení a dokonale propracované historické prostředí." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Ve staré Kanadě se píše rok 1859 a původem irská služtička Grace Marksová sedí už šestnáctým rokem ve vězení za vraždu svého pána a jeho rozverné hospodyňky. Soud dospěl k přesvědčení, že Grace je oba ještě v dívčím věku zabila a až do zatčení se projevovala neobyčejně chladnokrevně. Protože jí obhájce ex offo poradil hrát nepříčetnou, unikla šibenici a vyvázla „pouze“ s doživotním trestem, byť možná žádný zločin nespáchala. Kdo je tu oběť? To hodlá na popud dobročinného spolku vypátrat zapálený příznivce rodícího se oboru psychiatrie dr. Simon Jordan, který začal za odsouzenou docházet, aby ji přiměl mluvit – pochopitelně za nejpřísnějších viktoriánských opatření.

Audiokniha: Dystopická vize ukazuje blízkou budoucnost na půdě dnešních Spojených států amerických, které se proměnily v republiku Gileád a vlády se chopil klerofašistický režim, jenž militantně volá po návratu k tradičním hodnotám. Země se potýká s ekologickými katastrofami a ztrátou lidské plodnosti, takže ženy, které ještě mohou mít děti, jsou jako „služebnice“ nuceny k sexuálnímu otroctví v rodinách velitelů, aby s nimi zplodily potomky místo neplodných chotí. Jednou z nich je i vypravěčka, která musí obezřetně manévrovat mezi Veliteli, jejich krutými Manželkami, hospodyněmi Martami i ostatními Služebnicemi – protože kdokoli z nich může být špionem Gileádu. Podle románu vznikl v roce 2017 úspěšný a oceňovaný televizní seriál s Elisabeth Moss, Josephem Fiennesem či Alexis Bledel v hlavních rolích.

Audiokniha: Dystopická vize ukazuje budoucnost USA, jež se proměnily v republiku Gileád s vládnoucím klerofašistickým režimem, který militantně volá po návratu k tradičním hodnotám. Země se potýká s ekologickými katastrofami a ztrátou lidské plodnosti, takže ženy, které ještě mohou mít děti, jsou jako "služebnice" nuceny k sexuálnímu otroctví v rodinách velitelů, aby s nimi zplodily potomky namísto neplodných chotí. Jednou z nich je i vypravěčka, která musí obezřetně manévrovat mezi veliteli, jejich manželkami, hospodyněmi zvanými Marty i ostatními „služebnicemi“… Literární předloha filmu i úspěšného televizního seriálu. Délka nahrávky: 11 hodin 57 minut Interpret: Zuzana Kajnarová a Martin Myšička Formát: CD mp3.

eBook: Největší žijící kanadská spisovatelka s živelností sobě vlastní přetváří zápletku Shakespearovy tvůrčí závěti BOUŘE (1611) tak, aby v duchu alžbětinského barda poukázala nejen na křivdy a mříže, které nás uvnitř vězní, ale i na svátost odpuštění. Věhlasný divadelník Felix byl intrikány vyštípán ze svého postu, což pro něj znamená další katastrofu. Přesto nezahálí a podobně jako mág Prospero spřádá pomstu. V kuriózním divadelním kroužku, kde se mu coby nástroj zúčtování nabídne směska zločinců bažících po vzruchu, zinscenuje představení, jímž soky zasáhne na nejcitlivějším místě. V mistrovském provedení Margaret Atwoodové se ambiciózní námět divadla v kriminále hladce mění v grotesku, v níž místy mrazí a místy tajeme úlevou nad tím, že svět nepřestal být jevištěm a my na něm pouhými herci.

From cultural icon Margaret Atwood comes a brilliant collection of essays -- funny, erudite, endlessly curious, uncannily prescient -- which seek answers to Burning Questions such as: Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories?How much of yourself can you give away without evaporating?How can we live on our planet? Is it true? And is it fair?What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism?In over fifty pieces Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humour at our world, and reports back to us on what she finds. The roller-coaster period covered in the collection brought an end to the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump and a pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom; from when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to how to define granola, we have no better questioner of the many and varied mysteries of our human universe.

Nejnovější povídkovou tvorbu oceňované kanadské autorky rámují reflexe šťastného soužití a proměny času po ztrátě nejbližší bytosti. Nejen věnování zesnulému Graemu Gibsonovi, s nímž spisovatelka sdílela téměř padesát let, zájmy i příznačný smysl pro humor, ale především láskyplnost a bolest napovídají, že jde o text silně, byť nepřiznaně autobiografický. Margaret Atwoodová dnešních dní alias Nell vzpomíná na ztřeštěnosti podzimu života, toulky milovanou přírodou či na snahu zvěčnit kocoura v přebásnění Tennysona. Probírá se tchánovou pozůstalostí a vlivem války na lidskou psychiku. Zakopává o věci, které nám zůstávají po tom, kdo vlastně nikdy tak docela neodešel. A dál píše. O matce, jež neodpovídá společenským představám, o mimozemském stvoření, které za pandemie baví lidstvo v karanténě absurditou našich dávných příběhů, o převtělení šneka do bankovní operátorky. Rozmlouvá s Orwellem nebo glosuje historii očima umučené antické filozofky. A je přitom břitká a neodolatelná jako vždycky.

An extraordinary career-spanning collection from one of the most revered poets and storytellers of our ageTracing the legacy of Margaret Atwood – a writer who has fundamentally shaped our contemporary literary landscapes – Paper Boat assembles Atwood’s most vital poems in one essential volume.

Spanning six decades of work – from her earliest beginnings to brand new poems – this volume charts the evolution of one of our most iconic and necessary authors.
