What is history, undocumented? How do we archive censored lives? A poetic reflection on authorship and erasure, A Book, Untitled is an intimate and innovative approach to autofiction and the act of remembering. In her first novel, Armenian writer Shushan Avagyan tells the story of a fictional encounter between Shushanik Kurghinian and Zabel Yesayan, two early twentieth-century pioneers of feminist literature, whose legacies have been obscured in Armenian history. Their fictive meeting is interspersed with conversations between the author and her friend Lara, who are researching the work of Kurghinian and Yesayan. While sifting through censored documents, unpublished works, and unfinished drafts, they linger in speculation and piece together lives that have been overshadowed by the Tsarist and Stalinist regimes. At once electric and ephemeral, A Book, Untitled is a story of re-cognition otherwise -- posthumous, imagined, and intricately powerful.

Finally, unexpectedly, an opportunity presented itself. After a lifelong obsession with Gavin Maxwell''s Ring of Bright Water trilogy, Boothby was given the chance to move to Maxwell''s former home, a tiny island on the western seaboard of the Highlands of Scotland.Island of Dreams is about Boothby''s time living there, and about the natural and human history that surrounded him; it''s about the people he meets and the stories they tell, and about his engagement with this remote landscape, including the otters that inhabit it. Interspersed with Boothby''s own story is a quest to better understand the mysterious Gavin Maxwell.Beautifully written and frequently leavened with a dry wit, Island of Dreams is a charming celebration of the particularities of place.

Austrálsky spisovateľ Guy Newell Boothby (1867 - 1905) patril koncom 19. storočia medzi najpopulárnejších autorov kriminálno-mystických románov v po anglicky hovoriacom svete. Jeho verných čitateľov fascinovali mierne ironické bizarné príbehy plné dômyselne skonštruovaných zápletiek, exotických svetov a tajuplných mužov i žien. Boothby síce spočiatku tvoril poviedky z austrálskeho života, ale veľmi rýchlo pochopil, po čom milovníci dobrodružných knižiek prahnú a začal sa naplno venovať žánrovej literatúre. Čoskoro sa stal jedným z najvyhľadávanejších tvorcov detektívky, sci-fi a gotického hororu. Jeho dielo je doslova zaplnené množstvom nevšedných postáv, medzi ktorými vynikajú najmä oslniví darebáci. S veľkou obľubou opisoval klasických nadprirodzených diablov z fin-de-si?cle gothic, miloval deformovaných šialencov, ale najväčšiu slávu mu priniesol sofistikovaný medzinárodný majstrovský zločinec doktor Nikola, ktorý sa neskôr stal predobrazom najväčšieho protivníka agenta 007 Jamesa Bonda v románoch Iana Fleminga. Najmä tvorcovia filmových "bondoviek" sa pri stvárňovaní nadnárodného ničomníka Ernsta Stavro Blofelda otvorene prihlásili k odkazu Boothbyho najznámejšej postavy. Oslnený čitateľským úspechom a podporou svojho priateľa Rudyarda Kiplinga chrlil Boothby jeden román za druhým a do svojej náhlej smrti ich publikoval vyše päťdesiat. Jeho najoslnivejším výtvorom však ostávajú knihy o nevšedných dobrodružstvách doktora Nikolu.

Martin Booth died in February 2004, shortly after finishing the book that would be his epitaph - this wonderfully remembered, beautifully told memoir of a childhood lived to the full in a far-flung outpost of the British Empire...An inquisitive seven-year-old, Martin Booth found himself with the whole of Hong Kong at his feet when his father was posted there in the early 1950s. Unrestricted by parental control and blessed with bright blond hair that signified good luck to the Chinese, he had free access to hidden corners of the colony normally closed to a Gweilo, a ''pale fellow'' like him. Befriending rickshaw coolies and local stallholders, he learnt Cantonese, sampled delicacies such as boiled water beetles and one-hundred-year-old eggs, and participated in colourful festivals. He even entered the forbidden Kowloon Walled City, wandered into the secret lair of the Triads and visited an opium den. Along the way he encountered a colourful array of people, from the plink plonk man with his dancing monkey to Nagasaki Jim, a drunken child molester, and the Queen of Kowloon, the crazed tramp who may have been a member of the Romanov family.Shadowed by the unhappiness of his warring parents, a broad-minded mother who, ...

A portrait of an artist trapped by convention and expectations but longing for the chaos that can set her free.Growing up on a farm in early twentieth-century rural Iceland, Karitas Jónsdóttir, one of six siblings, yearns for a new life. An artist, Karitas has a powerful calling and is determined to never let go of her true being, one unsuited for the conventional. But she is powerless against the fateful turns of real life and all its expectations of women. Pulled back time and again by design and by chance to the Icelandic countryside—as dutiful daughter, loving mother, and fisherman’s wife—she struggles to thrive, to be what she was meant to be.Spanning decades and set against a breathtaking historical canvas, Karitas Untitled, an award-winning classic of Icelandic literature, is a complex and immersive portrait of an artist’s conflict with love, family, nature, and a country unaccustomed to an untraditional woman—but most of all, with herself and the creative instincts she has no choice but to follow.

Společným motivem všech pěti kapitol je právě stín, o němž Bly mluví jako o "dlouhém pytli, který vlečeme za sebou". Nezkoumá ho jazykem analytické psychologie, nýbrž jazykem básnickým, a pomocí barvitých obrazů a příběhů ukazuje, co dělat, abychom získali zpátky energii, kterou jsme do tohoto pytle odložili a zabránili tak i jejímu zneužívání. "To, co básnická čtení Roberta Blye ve skutečnosti říkají, je: ‚Musíte změnit svůj život.‘ Slyšet tak závažné básně a odolat veškeré změně je horší věc než ztráta času; je to nebezpečné."

Nineteenth-century women in British society may have seemed governed by a patriarchal model that reserved power and privilege for men, but women gradually and persuasively challenged not only the ideas of ‘separate spheres of society’ but the influence of Queen Victoria herself.Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, case studies and character portraits, Anne Louise Booth explores the character and influence of the Victorian society woman in both town and country. By examining defining moments in history and the roles these women played in shaping and redefining society, the changing world of the Victorian society woman is brought vividly to life.Seeking to understand women as individuals in the context of their world, and developing a complete picture of a changing social landscape, Anne Louise Booth paints a compelling and illuminating portrait of the lives of women in Victorian society.

The first edition of The Rhetoric of Fiction transformed the criticism of fiction and soon became a classic in the field. One of the most widely used texts in fiction courses, it is a standard reference point in advanced discussions of how fictional form works, how authors make novels accessible, and how readers recreate texts, and its concepts and terms—such as "the implied author," "the postulated reader," and "the unreliable narrator"—have become part of the standard critical lexicon. For this new edition, Wayne C. Booth has written an extensive Afterword in which he clarifies misunderstandings, corrects what he now views as errors, and sets forth his own recent thinking about the rhetoric of fiction. The other new feature is a Supplementary Bibliography, prepared by James Phelan in consultation with the author, which lists the important critical works of the past twenty years—two decades that Booth describes as "the richest in the history of the subject."

Simon Booth examines the conventional approaches followed by many firms in the face of change and crisis.

Instead, a dynamic new vision of crisis management is offered, which takes into account different kinds of crisis demanding diverse solutions. The key role of leadership is also evaluated in relation to both internally and externally generated crises. Drawing on case studies of leading firms facing crisis solutions in a variety of environments, this truly international volume will provide valuable insight into the experience of crisis, risk and uncertainty.
