Tři lidé, které na první pohled nic nespojuje, přijíždějí do domu Na Kopci na pozvání doktora Montaguea, badatele v oblasti paranormálních jevů. Křehká Eleanor, sebevědomá Theodora a světácký Luke mají pod jeho dohledem zaznamenávat vše, co se během jejich pobytu přihodí, a z počátku ke svému úkolu přistupují s veselým cynismem. Neblahá historie domu v kombinaci se zvýšenou citlivostí jeho dočasných obyvatel má však za následek řadu nevysvětlitelných a děsivých událostí. Eleanor si až pozdě uvědomí, že to ona je středobodem úkladů, které jako by na ni nastražili její zlomyslní kolegové. Anebo je v domě ještě někdo? Síla, která jí bere vůli uprchnout? Sláva a popularita spisovatelky Shirley Jacksonové (1916-1965) vrcholila v padesátých letech 20. století, ale až nyní s odstupem času jasněji vyvstává její přínos americké, potažmo světové literatuře. Svými psychologickými prózami navázala na klasiky žánru jako Edgar Allan Poe nebo Henry James a obohatila je o atributy, které pomohly definovat moderní literární horor. Na míle vzdálená primitivním exploatacím stvořila v Domě Na kopci esenci plíživého děsu, který se nás působí svou kombinací známého, zdánlivě známého a zcela neznámého. V tomto roce nakl. Argo autorce vydává sbírku znepokojivých kratších textů Loterie a jiné povídky. Následovat bude román Sluneční hodiny. Oldschoolová hororová klasika patří k nejznámějším dílům Shirley Jacksonové. Na tento román se odvolávají i takové hvězdy temných žánrů, jako jsou Neil Gaiman nebo Stephen King. Už několikrát se o jeho adaptaci pokusili filmaři, ale vystihnout obrazem hrůzu, jak ji slovně vylíčila autorka, se jim většinou nedaří.

Sbírka pětadvaceti naturalistických povídek o světě plném děsivých děr. Jak si povšimla Donna Tarttová, přední americká spisovatelka současnosti, titulní povídka je také hororová, ale v těch ostatních je hrozba více skrytá a ne zcela jednoznačná. Až má čtenář někdy zprvu pocit, jako by se postavám nic vážného nedělo - a potom mu dojde, jak strašný je jejich dosavadní život, nebo teprve bude v důsledku toho, co se jim právě při hodilo. Povídky jako Elizabeth, Sedm druhů víceznačnosti, Květinová zahrada nebo Můj život s R. H. Macym ukazují obyčejné lidi konfrontované s nezájmem, snobismem, rasismem nebo neschopností vybočit ze zajetých kolejí či se vymanit z vlastních nereálných fantazií. Často v nich zajiskří černý humor.

A dazzling speculative novel of 'counterfactual history' from one of America's most highly-regarded science fiction authors, Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle includes an introduction by Eric Brown in Penguin Modern Classics. Philip K. Dick's acclaimed cult novel gives us a horrifying glimpse of an alternative world - one where the Allies have lost the Second World War. In this nightmare dystopia the Nazis have taken over New York, the Japanese control California and the African continent is virtually wiped out. In a neutral buffer zone in America that divides the world's new rival superpowers, lives the author of an underground bestseller. His book offers a new vision of reality - an alternative theory of world history in which the Axis powers were defeated - giving hope to the disenchanted. Does 'reality' lie with him, or is his world just one among many others? Philip Kindred Dick (1928-82) was born in Chicago in 1928. His career as a science fiction writer comprised an early burst of short stories followed by a stream of novels, typically character studies incorporating androids, drugs, and hallucinations. His best works are generally agreed to be The Man in the High Castle and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the inspiration for the movie Blade Runner.

eBook: Lawrence ... describes the poems [in this first collection of his unrhymed poems] as "intended as an essential story, or history, or confession", the critical experience occurring in the period of, "roughly, the sixth lustre of a man's life"-that is, from the age of 25 to 30. His Argument emphasizes the dramatic nature of the sequence. He speaks of "the protagonist" and of "the conflict of love and hate [that] goes on between the man and the woman, and between these two and the world around them, till it reaches some sort of conclusion, they transcend into some condition of blessedness". Foreword and Argument complement each other: Look! is both a personal confession and a drama. In both respects, it is closely related to the three novels which belong to the same period, 1912-1917.

You'll be spellbound' Brian Cox This is a story about you. It is the history of who you are and how you came to be. It is unique to you, as it is to each of the 100 billion modern humans who have ever drawn breath.

During his campaign for President in 2016, Senator Bernie Sanders stated over and over again that the future of America was dependent upon its willingness to start a political revolution. Real change never occurs from the top down - it always happens from the bottom up. That's what he said when he ran for President, and that's what he believes now more than ever. At a time of massive and growing wealth inequality, with the US moving closer and closer to an oligarchic form of society, and in the shadow of the most reactionary Presidency in the history of the Republic, Sanders is calling for an unprecedented grassroots political movement to stand up to the greed of the billionaire class and the politicians they own. And the good news is, progress is being made. In this important new book, America's most popular political figure speaks about what he's been doing to oppose the Trump agenda and strengthen the progressive movement, how America can go forward as a nation and the impact that can have on the global stage. In an era that leaves many would-be liberal and progressive voters feeling frustrated about politics, Bernie Sanders shows what he stands for, not just what he stands against. In this book, he details the core values of the progressive movement and translates them into the actions that will truly uplift the nation and the world.

A deeply reported work of journalism that explores the promises and perils of global microfinance, told through the eyes of those who work in small-scale lending and of women borrowers in Sierra Leone, West Africa. In the mid-1970s, Muhammad Yunus, an American-trained Bangladeshi economist, met a poor female stoolmaker who needed money to expand her business. In an act known as the beginning of microfinance, Yunus lent $27 to 42 women, hoping small credit would help them to pull themselves out of poverty. Soon, Yunus’s Grameen Bank was born and, very small but often high-interest loans for poor people took off. In 2006, Yunus and the Grameen Bank won the Nobel Peace Prize for their work on anti-poverty lending. But there’s a problem with this story. There are mounting concerns that these small loans are as likely to bury poor people in debt as they are to pull them from poverty, with borrowers facing consequences such as jail time and forced land sales. Hundreds have even reportedly committed suicide. What happened? Did microfinance take a wrong turn, or was microfinance flawed from the beginning?We Are Not Able to Live in the Sky is a story about unintended consequences, blind optimism, and the decades-long ramifications of seemingly small policy choices, rooted in the stories of women borrowers in Sierra Leone. Kardas-Nelson asks: What happens when a single, financially focused solution to global inequity ignores the real drivers of poverty? Who stands to benefit and, more importantly, who gets left behind?
