Erica James, bestsellerová autorka oceňovaná Sunday Times, přináší silný příběh o rodině, která se musí vyrovnat s rozchodem, zradou a ztrátou domova – a o ženě, jež nachází novou sílu začít znovu. Louisa po čtyřiceti letech manželství čelí šokující pravdě: její muž odchází za ženou mladší než jejich dcera. Zdrcená a zrazená se musí vyrovnat nejen s rozpadem rodiny, ale i s bolestnou realitou, že domov, do kterého vložila tolik lásky, je na prodej. Zatímco Kip objevuje trhliny ve svém vysněném štěstí, Louisa poznává, že právě v okamžiku, kdy ztratíme všechno, můžeme objevit samu sebe.

What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? In this new essay, Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting and anomalous fiction of the 20th century belongs to these two modes. The Weird and the Eerie are closely related but distinct modes, each possessing its own distinct properties. Both have often been associated with Horror, yet this emphasis overlooks the aching fascination that such texts can exercise. The Weird and the Eerie both fundamentally concern the outside and the unknown, which are not intrinsically horrifying, even if they are always unsettling. Perhaps a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of liminal concepts such as the weird and the eerie. These two modes will be analysed with reference to the work of authors such as H. P. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Nigel Kneale, Daphne Du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer and Christoper Nolan.

Výpravná publikace představuje dílo jedné z nejosobitějších současných umělkyň. Sochařka a malířka Erika Bornová vychází ve své tvorbě z autobiografických námětů, avšak nechává diváky na pochybách, kde je hranice mezi skutečností, snem a fantazií. Její práce vynalézavě navazují na tradiční postupy výtvarného umění a svébytným způsobem je rozvíjejí, mnohdy však provokují jak svým obsahem, často s erotickým podtextem, tak ztvárněním, když autorka používá velmi netradiční materiály a jejich překvapivé kombinace. Monografii Eriky Bornové doprovází text historičky umění Martiny Pachmanové. This lavishly illustrated monograph presents the oeuvre of one of the most distinctive artists working today. Sculptor and painter Erika Bornová draws on autobiographical subjects in her art, but she never leaves any doubt as to where the line between fact, dream, and fantasy lies. Her works ingeniously build on and uniquely develop traditional art techniques. They are frequently provocative in their content, which often possesses an erotic subtext, and in their manner of execution, with Bornová using highly unconventional materials and surprising combinations.

Kniha přináší výběr z nejnovější tvorby jedné z nejosobitějších umělkyň současnosti. Erika Bornová je vypravěčkou silných, mnohoznačných příběhů. Ať se již jedná o sochařský cyklus věnovaný Almě Mahlerové a jejím mužům, o uhrančivé akrylové Autoportréty nebo o imaginativní kresby Rostlin či Vodních bytostí, vždy s nadsázkou reflektuje banalitu života, s náruživostí sobě vlastní se snaží rozklíčovat složité předivo lidské představivosti a snů a se vší vážností ohledává komplikovaný vztah člověka ke světu, k druhým, k sobě samému i k přírodě. Publikaci děl Eriky Bornové doprovázejí texty znalců jejího díla Martiny Pachmanové a Otty M. Urbana. The book presents a selection of the latest works by Erika Bornová, one of today s most distinctive artists and a teller of forceful and multifaceted stories. Her sculptural cycle dedicated to Alma Mahler and her men, her captivating acrylic self-portraits, her imaginative drawings of Plants or Aquatic Creatures - they all reflect, with a sense of hyperbole, the banality of life. Working with her distinctive passion, Bornová attempts to untangle the complex web of people s imagination and dreams while engaging in a serious exploration of our complicated relationship to the world, to others, to ourselves, and to nature. With expert texts on her work by Martina Pachmanová and Otta M. Urban.

This book will take you on a journey through our physical universe, based on current, established science. The journey starts with the simplest fundamental particles, such as quarks and electrons, and ends with the most complex of all material objects ⠓ our human brains.Our universe has evolved through forming communities of things, with simpler things coming together in new groupings to make more complex things. So, every ⠜thing⠝ in the universe is a community of things, and at every level a community is greater than the sum of its separate parts.If we view the universe in terms of communities, it takes the form of a hierarchy of eight levels of communities, from protons and neutrons to human societies. And at every level in this universal hierarchy, the communities are bound together by ceaseless interactive exchanges.So, our universe reveals itself as a dynamic hierarchy, sustained by endless exchanges between members of the communities at every level. Each of us is the universe in microcosm, for we each embody all eight levels of the universal hierarchy.It is through things coming together and forming communities that the universe, with us now in it, has come to be what it is.Andrew McNeil has a PhD in metallurgy. He first worked in university research and then, for twenty years, he taught secondary school science.

A John Cleese Twitter question [ What is your pet peeve? ], first sparked the Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops blog, which grew over three years into one bookseller s collection of ridiculous conversations on the shop floor. From Did Beatrix Potter ever write a book about dinosaurs? to the hunt for a paperback which could forecast the next year s weather; and from I ve forgotten my glasses, please read me the first chapter to Excuse me... is this book edible? This full-length collection illustrated by the Brothers McLeod also includes top Weird Things from bookshops around the world.

Once I thought I glimpsed her high up in a bush, like dirty rags in a gale. Not that so far there has been any gale, or even any wind. The total silent stillness is one of the worst things.Yes, it is a battle with strong and unknown forces that I have on my hands.From the shorelines, hills and towns of ancient lands, tales of twisted creatures, sins against nature and pagan revenants have been passed down from generation to generation. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, folklore from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Brittany and the Isle of Man inspired a new strain of strange short stories, penned by writers of the weird and fantastic including masters of the form such as Arthur Machen, Edith Wharton and Robert Aickman.In this volume, Johnny Mains dives into the archives to unearth a hoard of twenty-one enthralling tales imbued with elements of Celtic folklore, ranging from the 1820s to the 1980s and including three weird lost gems translated from Gaelic. Together they conjure uncanny visions of eternal forces, beings and traditions, resonating with the beguiling essence of this unique branch of strange fiction.

Yet, ever at the back of his thoughts, lay that other aspect of the wilderness: the indifference to human life, the merciless spirit of desolation which took no note of man.⠙ ⠓ The Wendigo ⠘Of the quality of Mr. Blackwood⠙s genius there can be no dispute ⠦ he is the one absolute and unquestioned master of weird atmosphere.⠙ ⠓ H.P. Lovecraft Algernon Blackwood (1869 ⠓ 1951) ⠓ ⠘The Ghost Man⠙ ⠓ was a British broadcaster, journalist, traveller, mystic, and paranormal investigator, and, above all, a prolific author of weird, occult, and supernatural fiction. Often, he wrote about the untamed wilderness, from deserts to vast, primeval forests, vividly depicting a natural environment that is at once awe-inspiring, alien and hostile. Many of Blackwood⠙s most famous tales ⠓ such as The Wendigo and ⠘The Willows⠙ (both included in this collection) ⠓ are set in the empty places of the world. Like his psychic detective ⠘John Silence⠙, Blackwood was fascinated by elemental spirits, reincarnation, other dimensions, and higher states of consciousness. Wherever such things broke through, he sought them out, and now so can you in this comprehensive collection of his short fiction. As Blackwood explained himself: ⠘I believe it possible for our consciousness to change and grow, and that with this change we may become aware of a new universe.⠙Contents:IntroductionNote on the TextBibliographyWorks by Algernon BlackwoodFurther ReadingA Haunted Island A Case of Eavesdropping The Empty House Keeping His Promise Smith: An Episode in a Lodging House The Listener Max Hensig ⠓ Bacteriologist and Murderer: A Story of New YorkThe Willows The Insanity of Jones The Woman⠙s Ghost Story A Psychical InvasionThe Nemesis of Fire Secret Worship Entrance and ExitThe Sea FitThe Wendigo The Deferred AppointmentThe DamnedA Descent into EgyptTransitionThe DecoyThe Wolves of GodConfessionThe Man Who Was MilliganThe Doll Appendix: Explorers⠙ Ghost Stories

Limburg describes movingly her own struggles as a new mother and the pressure of society s expectations...Through such delicately intertwined experiences, Limburg quietly shouts for change. Times Literary SupplementIt seemed to me that many of the moments when my autism had caused problems, or at least marked me out as different, were those moments when I had come up against some unspoken law about how a girl or a woman should be, and failed to meet it.An autism diagnosis in midlife enabled Joanne Limburg to finally make sense of why her emotional expression, social discomfort and presentation had always marked her as an outsider. Eager to discover other women who had been misunderstood in their time, she writes a series of wide-ranging letters to four weird sisters from history, addressing topics including autistic parenting, social isolation, feminism, the movement for disability rights and the appalling punishments that have been meted out over centuries to those deemed to fall short of the norm. This heartfelt, deeply compassionate and wholly original work humanises women who have so often been dismissed for their differences, and will be celebrated by weird sisters everywhere.
