V nejnovějším románu Tracy Chevalier se vydáváme do Benátek 15. století – do světa, kde sklo není jen řemeslo, ale i moc, prestiž a tajemství. Orsola Rossová vyrůstá v době, kdy ženy nesměly stát u sklářských pecí. Přesto ji fascinují korálky, které viděla tvořit slavnou Mariettu Barovierovou. Když tragicky ztrácí otce, Orsola se musí postavit do čela rodinné dílny. V prostředí, kde ženám nebylo dovoleno tvořit, se nevzdává a s odvahou hledá cestu, jak dát sklu vlastní tvar. Sklářka z Benátek je román o odhodlání, vášni a tvůrčí síle, která překonává překážky i předsudky. Sága rodu Rosso sleduje příběhy napříč staletími – od lagun Benátek až po české země, kde vzniká nová tradice skla a křišťálu. Tracy Chevalier zde mistrně propojuje historický detail s nadčasovými otázkami ženské odvahy, lásky a umění.

Po ukončení studia angličtiny na Oberlin College v roce 1984 se přestěhovala do Londýna, kde pracovala jako redaktorka ve vydavatelství, zejména na referenčních publikacích. Touha psát ji ale vedla dál – vystudovala tvůrčí psaní na University of East Anglia, kde vznikl i její první román The Virgin Blue. Velký průlom přišel s románem Girl with a Pearl Earring (Dívka s perlou, 1999), inspirovaným obrazem Vermeera. Tento titul byl přeložen do desítek jazyků a dočkal se i filmové adaptace, která upevnila autorčin status mezi předními spisovatelkami historické prózy. Chevalier se ve svých dílech vyžívá ve výzkumu: snaží se žít část života svých postav, učí se tradiční techniky a prozkoumává prostředí – ať už jde o malování, výrobu skleněných perlí, krajkářství či botaniku. Její romány jako A Single Thread, At the Edge of the Orchard či nejnovější The Glassmaker (Sklářka z Benátek) ukazují nejen historický kontext a proměny času, ale i lidskou odolnost, kreativitu a vztahy mezi lidmi. Žije s rodinou v Londýně, má dvojí občanství (americké i britské) a je aktivní i mimo psaní – podporuje různé kulturní a literární projekty. Pro čtenáře je Tracy Chevalier zárukou dobře vykresleného světa, propracovaných postav a příběhů, které spojují minulost s univerzálními tématy dneška .

This volume brings together Virginia Woolfâ ™s last two novels, The Years (1937) which traces the lives of members of a dispersed middle-class family between 1880 and 1937, and Between the Acts (1941), an account of a village pageant in the summer preceding the Second World War which successfully interweaves comedy, satire and disturbing observation.Rewriting the traditional family saga and the pageant, these unsettling novels provide extraordinary critiques of Englishness and English identity while pursuing compelling existentialist and psychological themes such as the nature of time, memory, personal relationships and sexual desire. Their tightly constructed narratives enable the reader to experience the fragmented lives of their characters and the difficulties that they have in communicating with each other and even understanding themselves. Read together, these novels illuminate each other in ways that will engage both the student and the general reader.

I entered the church...It struck me suddenly that all this crowd of men and women standing all round, these priests chanting and moving about the altar, were dead...Vernon Lee was a polymath whose copious writings include deeply learned studies of art, music, literature, and history, but also a small but exquisitely crafted group of Gothic tales, most of which first appeared in fin de siècle periodicals including the iconic Yellow Book. In these stories of obsession and possession, transgressive desire reaches out from the past -- through a haunting portrait, a murdered poet s lock of hair, the uncanny voice of a diabolical castrato -- dragging Lee s protagonists to their doom. Among those haunted by Lee s spurious ghosts was Henry James, who praised her gruesome, graceful...ingenious tales, full of imagination .This new edition includes Lee s landmark 1890 collection Hauntings complete, along with six additional tales and the 1880 essay Faustus and Helena , in which Lee probes the elusive nature of the supernatural as a vital...fluctuating...potent force that resists definite representation. Aaron Worth s contextual introduction, drawing upon Lee s newly published letters, reassesses her place in the pantheon of the fantastic.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

A searingly honest memoir of life, policing and falling apart Every contact leaves a trace John Sutherland joined the Met in 1992, having dreamed of being a police officer since his teens. Rising quickly through the ranks, and compelled by the opportunity to make a real difference to people s lives, he worked across the capital, experiencing first-hand the enormous satisfaction as well as the endless trauma that a life in blue can bring. There were remarkable, career-defining moments: commanding armed sieges, saving lives and helping to take dangerous people off the streets. But for every case with a happy ending, there were others that ended in desperate sadness. In early 2013, John suffered a major breakdown and consequent battle with crippling depression. After a career spent racing to be the first at the scene of crimes and catastrophes, he found himself in pieces, unable to put one foot in front of the other. Blue is a memoir of crime and calamity, of adventure and achievement, of friendship and failure, of laughter and loss, of the best and the worst of humanity, of serious illness and slow recovery. With searing honesty, it offers an immensely moving and personal insight into what it is to be a police officer in Britain today.

As a boy, Tom’s first crush was a strapping young farmhand who worked the fields around his family home. Finland is a land of tough physical men, catching fish in the icy sea; cutting logs in the endless forests; threshing oats, rye, and barley on the farms. Tom, a more sensitive boy, admired these rough men and their distinctive clothing, designed for protection and utility.He later said, “When I was young, leather was worn by people who worked outside because it was warm. All the men who wore leather, they were the type of men which I adored.”When he began to draw he celebrated these early idols, improving their wardrobes with tight jeans, faded T-shirts, and thigh-high beak-toed Lappish boots. It was a young logger in this gear who appeared on the spring 1957 cover of Physique Pictorial, introducing Tom to the world.In the decades to follow Tom added truckers, repairmen, construction workers, circus roustabouts, and the American cowboy to his roster of working-class heroes. Though just sexual fantasies for him, his portrayal of blue-collar lovers helped working class gays accept their true selves. The Little Book of Tom: Blue Collar traces Tom’s fascination with working men in one compact and affordable package.A brawny lineup of multi-panel comics and single-panel drawings and paintings is set alongside archival and contextual material, including historic film stills and posters, personal photos of Tom, sketches, and Tom’s own reference photos.
