O konečnosti - Günter Grass
Poslední kniha, kterou Günter Grass dopsal a sám ještě připravil do tisku, vyšla několik měsíců po jeho smrti († 13. dubna 2015) a je vskutku důstojným kšaftem - loučením se světem, s literaturou, a především se životem. Není to žádný literární testament, v němž by autor odkazoval potomstvu moudrosti a rady k následování, ani bilance, v níž by účetnicky sčítal zisky a ztráty života, o němž ostatně ví, že jej - i když mu kukačka opakovaně slibuje léta - už může počítat spíš na měsíce. Tato kniha je hlavně výpovědí o prožívané přítomnosti - o závěrečné fázi života, v níž člověk, navzdory všem deficitům staroby, stále ještě plně prožívá vše kolem sebe, ba uvědomuje si a vnímá i věci drobné a nenápadné zvlášť ostře právě proto, že se mu u nich neodbytně vnucuje přídomek poslední . Tyto pozdní zážitky a úvahy se odvíjejí v desítkách krátkých textů prozaických i básnických, v nichž se střídají nejrůznější, často groteskně zcizené náměty a nápady osobní, literární i politické (včetně mámy Merkelové), které však při pozornějším čtení vytvářejí rafinovaně propojenou motivickou síť a celostnou kompozici. Základní polohou tohoto loučení není sentimentální nářek, nýbrž originální spojení elegičnosti s humorem - někdy dost černým - a sebeironií, ale také mužná vyrovnanost tváří v tvář neodvratné konečnosti . Integrální součástí knihy jsou autorovy vlastní, s texty podstatně související, ne pouze ilustrující grafiky jako další doklad toho, že projev slovesný a výtvarný představovaly u Güntera Grasse dvě rovnomocné složky jeho umělecké osobnosti.

Setkání v Telgte - Günter Grass
Děj povídky se odehrává v roce 1647 poblíž Osnabrücku, kde se právě dojednávají podmínky míru, který vešel do dějin jako mír vestfálský. Námětem je fiktivní setkání sedmnácti německých barokních básníků a spisovatelů, kteří jsou představeni skutečnými jmény i díly, ale jež autor vybavil ze své fantazie povahovými rysy, názory a způsoby jednání a dotvořil je do plných, svérázných literárních postav. Básníci předčítají ze svých děl a v diskusích řeší poetologické problémy i osobní spory a animozity, ale posléze nad tím vším u nich převládne téma války a otázka, do jaké míry může, či zda vůbec má literatura - coby pouhé krásné zdání - zasahovat do reálné politiky. Přítomní literáti se o to alespoň pokusí. - Do tohoto historického obrazu se ovšem nenásilně, nenápadně, ale pro Grassovy současníky snadno rozpoznatelně prolíná lehce ironický obraz známé Skupiny 47, jež se poprvé sešla přesně o 300 let později, těsně po konci války, která byla pro Německo i Evropu ještě ničivější než ta třicetiletá. V tomto prolínání Grass znovu prokazuje svou virtuozní schopnost parodie a parafráze i čtenářsky přitažlivé humorně-vážné hry s fatálními událostmi dějin. Díky své nevyčerpatelné fabulační vynalézavosti, ale také díky mimořádně důkladné znalosti dobových reálií zde Günter Grass podal tak živý, plastický a při vší fantazijnosti tak věrohodný obraz barokní doby, pro jaký bychom v německé poválečné literatuře stěží hledali obdobu. Překlad této knihy podpořil Goethe-Institut.

Psie roky - Günter Grass
Slávny román nemeckého nositeľa Nobelovej ceny za literatúru Traja rozprávači na prelome rokov 1961/62 píšu tri knihy románu Psie roky, ktorý vychádza v roku 1963, a tak sa v predvojnovom, vojnovom a povojnovom období stávajú kronikármi „psích rokov“ dvadsiateho storočia. Sú nimi obeť Eddi Amsel, svedok Harry Liebenau a páchateľ Walter Matern. Na dlhom putovaní z Gdanska do západného Nemecka ich sprevádzajú nemecké vlčiaky Senta a Harras, Hitlerov obľúbený pes Princ a podsvetný pes Pluto, dievčatá Tulla a Jenny, strašiaky na vtáky, mechanické figúry a strašidlá. Román sa končí v bani, kde umelec Amsel alias Brauchsel priemyselne vyrába vtáčie strašiaky stvorené na obraz človeka a vyváža ich do sveta, pričom demaskuje reálny svet ako podsvetie. Günter Grass (1927 Gdansk – 2015 Lübeck) bol popredný nemecký prozaik, básnik, dramatik a výtvarník. Je nositeľom Nobelovej ceny za literatúru. Vyučil sa za kamenára, vyštudoval grafiku a sochárstvo. V roku 1956 vydal prvú zvierku básní s vlastnými ilustráciami, v roku 1959 prvý román Plechový bubienok. Tvorí prvú časť Gdanskej trilógie, ktorá patrí k základným dielam nemeckej povojnovej literatúry. Jej druhou časťou je novela Mačka a myš a uzatvára ju román Psie roky. Autor opäť líči krajinu pri ústí Visly do Baltského mora, rozpráva o svojráznych Kašuboch, o ich dobrodružnej existencii síce v ústraní od veľkého sveta, ale uprostred dejín. Psie roky sa svojou rozmanitosťou a sugestívnosťou literárneho tvaru považujú za vrchol spisovateľovej tvorby. Tento názor zdieľajú aj spisovatelia John Irving a Salman Rushdie, ktorí patria k veľkým Grassovým obdivovateľom.

Živé sochy - Günter Grass
Günter Grass (1927-2015), německý spisovatel, sochař a výtvarník, nositel Nobelovy ceny za literaturu (1999), napsal Živé sochy v srpnu 2003. V Grassově pozůstalosti fragment objevila jeho dlouholetá spolupracovnice Hilke Ohsoling a dosud neznámý text vyšel v nakladatelství Steidl v roce 2022, není tedy obsažen v souborném vydání celého Grassova díla Neue Göttinger Ausgabe z roku 2020. Východiskem příběhu je turistická prohlídka soch naumburského dómu, z nichž zejména legendární markraběnka Uta fascinuje vypravěče natolik, že si k ní začne domýšlet postavy a děje její doby, a nejen to, tato Uta se mu posléze prolíná i do současných zážitků. Když je svědkem moderní turistické atrakce, při níž mladí lidé převlečení za dějinné nebo biblické postavy stojí na veřejných místech nehybně jako sochy, začnou se mu do jedné živé sochy , převlečené právě za středověkou Utu, promítat - jako ve filmové dvojexpozici - rysy a osudy té jeho Uty. S mladou ženou, jež představovala Utu, se později setká před frankfurtskou burzou a dozví se leccos o jejím reálném životě... Překlad této knihy podpořil Goethe-Institut. The translation of this book was supported by a grant from the Goethe-Institut.

Kočka a myš - Günter Grass
Novela Kočka a myš (1961) je druhým dílem a svorníkem Grassovy Gdaňské trilogie, jejíž krajní pilíře tvoří velké romány Plechový bubínek (1959) a Psí roky (1963). Soustřeďuje se na ústřední dějiště trilogie, baltský přístav Danzig/Gdaňsk, dobu těsně předválečnou a válečnou a na jednu ústřední postavu. Tou je chlapec Joachim Mahlke, rozený outsider s mnoha handicapy, jež zhmotňuje - v typicky grassovské groteskní hyperbole - jeho nápadně velké Adamovo jablko. Tento cyranovský defekt se Mahlke snaží od dětství kompenzovat, nakonec způsobem, který jemu a všem jeho vrstevníkům nabízí, vtlouká do hlavy dobová ideologie: chce se stát válečným hrdinou. To se mu podaří. V zázračně rychlé kariéře je jako velitel tanku dekorován válečným křížem, jímž může konečně zakrýt onen fatální defekt na krku. Na tomto zdánlivém vrcholu však tragikomický hrdina dezertuje. Novela nevysvětluje proč, nemoralizuje, neideologizuje - pouze vypráví ve výmluvných zkratkách jeden paradigmatický případ celé svedené a zničené generace, která byla současně spolupachatelem i obětí zrůdného režimu. Právě pro svůj groteskní humor, z něhož chvílemi mrazí, a pro svou novelistickou hutnost, která ponechává postavám i dějům jejich mnohoznačnost a tajemství, se stala Kočka a myš jedním z nejčtenějších textů Güntera Grasse.

Lokální umrtvení - Günter Grass
Zápletka románu, odehrávajícího se převážně v roce 1967, spočívá na typicky grassovském groteskně-drastickém nápadu: gymnazista Scherbaum chce před berlínským hotelem Kempinski veřejně upálit svého jezevčíka, aby šokoval a vyburcoval saturovanou konzumní společnost, jejíž svědomí je podle něj natolik otupeno ( umrtveno ), že neprotestuje ani proti upalování lidí napalmem ve vietnamské válce. Jeho učitel Starusch (vypravěč románu a - se značnou dávkou sebeironie - autorovo alter ego) se jej snaží od radikálního záměru odvrátit, přestože s žákem v zásadě sympatizuje. Groteskně-humornou vypravěčskou kostru vyprávění představuje dlouhá, bolestivá terapie chrupu, již Starusch protrpí ve stomatologickém křesle a během níž se mu vybavuje asociační pásmo osobních selhání i událostí z války a doby hospodářského zázraku. Těmito reminiscencemi se do vyprávění zprostředkuje i řada zásadních problémů německé společnosti adenauerovské éry, zejména problém nepotrestaných válečných zločinců a nacistů: jednou z výrazných postav je (pod jiným jménem) i u nás nechvalně známý generál Schörner, který byl ochoten bojovat do posledního muže a se vší krutostí ještě v posledních dnech války. V naivně radikálních postojích gymnazistů podává Grass - jako jeden z prvních levicových intelektuálů (román vyšel v roce 1969) - ironickou, pozoruhodně vyváženou analýzu mentality a ideologií, z jejichž energie v roce 1968 explodovalo radikální studentské hnutí : přitaká jeho pohnutkám i cílům, ale jasně se distancuje od jeho prostředků, které namnoze vyústily v zaslepený terorismus.

Plechový bubínek - Günter Grass
Román Plechový bubínek (1959), který Grasse přes noc proslavil po celém světě, je koncipován jako příběh jednoho hrdiny. Na začátku 50. let zaznamenává Oskar Matzerath v Léčebném a zaopatřovacím ústavu běh svého života od začátku století až do doby adenauerovského Německa. Tento infantilní vypravěč se se svým plechovým bubínkem pohybuje mimo tradiční morálku, a právě proto se nakonec jeví jako jediný zdravý ve světě lži a zločinu. Dílo šokovalo své první čtenáře otevřeností a bezohledností, zároveň však otevřelo poválečnému německému románu cestu ke světovosti a svému hrdinovi zajistilo významné místo v moderní mytologii.

The Heart-Shaped Tin - Bee Wilson
â ˜Extraordinaryâ ™ TELEGRAPH ????? Bee Wilson is one of my favourite writers and this may be her best book CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN This strikingly original account from award-winning food writer Bee Wilson charts how everyday objects take on deeply personal meanings in all our lives. One ordinary day, the tin in which Bee Wilson baked her wedding cake fell to the ground at her feet. This should have been unremarkable, except that her marriage had just ended. Unsettled by her own feelings about the heart-shaped tin, Wilson begins a search for others who have attached strong and even magical meanings to kitchen objects. She meets people who deal with grief or pain by projecting emotions onto certain objects, whether it is a beloved parentâ ™s salt shaker, a cracked pasta bowl or an inherited china dinner service. Remembering her own mother, a dementia sufferer, she explores the ways that both of them have been haunted by deciding which kitchen utensils to hold on to and which to get rid of when you think you are losing your mind. Looking to different continents, cultures and civilisations to investigate the full scope of this phenomenon, Wilson blends her own experiences with a series of touching personal stories that reflect the irrational and fundamentally human urge to keep mementos. Why would a man trapped in a concentration camp decide to make a spoon for himself? Why do some people hoard? What do gifts mean? How do we decide what is junk and what is treasure? We see firsthand how objects can contain hidden symbols, keep the past alive and even become powerful symbols of identity and resistance; from a childâ ™s first plate to a refugeeâ ™s rescued vegetable corers. Thoughtful, tender and beautifully written, The Heart-Shaped Tin is a moving examination of love, loss, broken cups and the legacy of things we all leave behind. â ˜This is both a memoir of a divorce and a sweeping cultural commentary â ¦ A fascinating and heartwarming readâ ™ The Times Sunday Times Best Summer Reads 2025 â ˜This beautifully written book about the deep significance of certain objects in our kitchen â “ is nothing less than an intense, compassionate expression of the human condition â ¦ Both intimate and expansive, The Heart-Shaped Tin is a book I know Iâ ™ll give, urgently and importantly, to those I loveâ ™ Nigella Lawson â ˜I loved this book â ¦ Very few food writers can do what Bee does. It made me think again â “ and with more tenderness â “ about the kitchen objects that I ordinarily take for granted. These are the human stories embedded in our material culture, and Bee brings them effortlessly to lifeâ ™ Ruby Tandoh Heart-wrenching and heart-warming in equal measure. No one is so good at capturing the everyday magic of kitchens, cooking and life as Bee Wilson Letitia Clark â ˜Bee Wilson has changed the landscape of the kitchen by breathing life into ordinary objects. Through this remarkable book you will find yourself discovering meaning in plates, sadness in spoons, love in a measuring cup. I want to give this book to every cook I knowâ ™ Ruth Reichl A moving and fascinating exploration of the vital role played by household objects in our love of home and family Sophie Hannah

Smell of Summer Grass - Adam Nicolson
The Smell of Summer Grass is the story of the years spent in finding and building a personal idyll, sometimes a dream, sometimes a nightmare, by writer Adam Nicolson and his wife, cook and gardener, Sarah Raven.Without knowing one end of a hay baler from the other, Adam Nicolson and Sarah Raven, fed up with London and with life, escaped with his family to a run-down farm in the Sussex Weald. Looking for Arcadia, they found a mixture of intense beauty and profound chaos. Over three years they struggled with dock leaves, spring flowers, bloody-minded sheep and neighbours before eventually arriving at some kind of equilibrium.Funny, poetic, ironic and wise, â ˜The Smell of Summer Grassâ ™ is based partly on the long out of print Perch Hill . It traces the growing intimacy between man and his chosen place, his love affair with it and his frustrations with its intractable realities. As an attempt to live out the pastoral vision, it makes one heartfelt plea: we should never abandon our dreams.
