''Magical and transporting . . . Wayward proves that Bunyan has lived the best possible life, on her own idiosyncratic terms''Maggie O''Farrell''A gorgeous account of outsiderness and survival: a map of how to live outside the boundaries and of striving for an authentic artistic life. A quietly defiant and moving work'' Sinéad Gleeson''An epic in miniature . . . I loved - and lived - every sentence'' Benjamin MyersIn 1968, Vashti Bunyan gave up everything and everybody she knew in London to take to the road with a horse, wagon, dog, guitar and her then partner. They made the long journey up to the Outer Hebrides in an odyssey of discovery and heartbreak, full of the joy of freedom and the trudge of everyday reality, sleeping in the woods, fighting freezing winters and homelessness. Along the way, Vashti wrote the songs that would lead to the recording of her 1970''s album Just Another Diamond Day, the lilting lyrics and guitar conveying innocent wonder at the world around her, whilst disguising a deeper turmoil under the surface. From an unconventional childhood in post-war London, to a fledgling career in mid-sixties pop - recording a single written by Mick Jagger and Keith ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Autor Poutníkovy cesty, jedné z nejoblíbenějších knih niterně zbožných křesťanů pietistického a probuzeneckého hnutí, uvažuje v tomto svém dalším spise nad zosobněným "tajemstvím nepravosti", jak je vylíčeno v symbolech Zjevení Janova, poslední knihy Bible. Bunyan byl přímým svědkem náboženské občanské války, která v Anglii sedmnáctého století stála životy mnoha mučedníků, a sám se pro své náboženské přesvědčení ocitl několikrát v žaláři. Přesto v tomto svém krátkém traktátu, který vy&scaron ;el až po jeho smrti, odolává pokušení, kterému mnozí jiní vykladači podlehli: Nesnaží se symboly biblické Apokalypsy dávat do senzačních souvislostí s jmenovitými historickými událostmi nebo postavami, ale naopak rozvíjí a podtrhuje jejich univerzální charakter. Bunyan byl tedy postiženým současníkem náboženského útlaku duchovně probuzených křesťanů, pronásledovaných jak katolíky, tak anglikány. Jako znalec Písma a bystrý pozorovatel života své doby rozpoznává, že zlo, vycházející z propasti nám unikajícího tajemství, proniká všemi hranicemi a lidské pokusy ho nějak zastavit a zdolat jsou v posledu neúčinné. Jediná naděj e pro nás podle autora spočívá v Boží moci, v nenápadně postupující a nakonec viditelně vítězné převaze samotného vykupitelského díla Kristova. Právě tento duchovní výhled činí drobné, více než třistaleté Bunyanovo pojednání překvapivě aktuálním i pro nás.

The first generations born after emancipation, their struggle was to live as if they really were free. These women refused to labour like slaves. Wrestling with the question of freedom, they invented forms of love and solidarity outside convention and law. These were the pioneers of free love, common-law and transient marriages, queer identities, and single motherhood - all deemed scandalous, even pathological, at the dawn of the twentieth century, though they set the pattern for the world to come.In Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, Saidiya Hartman deploys both radical scholarship and profound literary intelligence to examine the transformation of intimate life that they instigated.
