Nick Laird''s powerful new collection reflects on the strange and chaotic times we live in. Reeling in the face of collapsing systems and the banalities and distortions of modern life, the poet confronts age-old anxieties, questions of aloneness, friendship, illness and death, the push and pull of daily existence.Laird is a poet capable of heading off in any and every direction, where layers of association transport us from a harbour in County Cork to the library steps in New York’s Washington Square, from a face-off between Freud and Michelangelo’s Moses to one between the poet and a squirrel in a Kilburn garden. And at the heart of the collection lies the title sequence ''Up Late'', a profound meditation on a father’s dying, and winner of the 2022 Forward Prize for Best Single Poem.There is conflation and conflagration, rage and fire, neither of which are seen as necessarily destructive. But there is great tenderness, too, a fondness for what grows between the cracks, especially those glimpses into the unadulterated world of childhood, where everything is still at stake and infinite as ‘the darkness under the cattle grid’.‘Up Late, passionate and angry as Hamlet, is formally brilliant, an exercise in control.’ Martina Evans, Irish Times‘Laird’s fifth collection glimmers with angsty maturity as it manoeuvres its way between introspection and elegy . . . Elsewhere, Laird cracks open the poetry of sensitivity to reveal a raw sense of politics and injustice “as the rich get richer and the poor get fucked”.’ Philip Terry, Guardian

Zároveň však celý život trpí záhadnými výpadky paměti a jen zřídkakdy se rozpomíná na některé podivné příhody z jejich společné minulosti. Teprve na sklonku života Don odhaluje, proč se vlastně bojí tmy, proč ho tak děsí dveře do sklepa ve venkovském domě, který jeho manželka zdědila, a co všechno se skrývá v okolních lesích… Laird Barron předkládá v tomto románu zatím nejkomplexnější obraz svého lovecraftovského hororového mýtu o bytostech z jiného světa, nazývaných „Děti Staré pijavice“, který nastínil již v několika kultovních povídkách.

Je padesát bitev málo, nebo moc? William Weir na reprezentativním vzorku ozbrojených konfliktů ukazuje, že dějiny skutečně píší vítězové! 50 bitev, které změnily svět (50 Battles That Changed the World) není kniha oslavující válčení. Přináší jiný pohled na světové dějiny – William Weir se zaměřuje na klíčové bitvy, které výrazně pohnuly kolem dějin a jejichž význam byl, jak historie prokázala, naprosto zásadní pro uspořádání světa tak, jak ho známe nyní. Jednotlivé konflikty sahají od dávné minulosti až do dvacátého století. Některé jsou notoricky známé – Marathón, Waterloo, Midway či Stalingrad, některé ale zastřela mlha dějin a my na jejich význam trochu pozapomínáme – povstání Níká, Dublin, Emauzy… Naučili jsme se vnímat dějiny jako sled jednotlivých dat, ale málokdy je umíme vnímat v souvislostech. Kniha 50 bitev, které změnily svět právě ony významné a pro pochopení kontextu zásadní souvislosti poskytuje. Zjistíme, že žádná bitva nevznikla „zčistajasna“, že každému ozbrojenému konfliktu, ať už válečnému, nebo civilnímu, předcházela série problémů, nedorozumění, frustrace či prostě touha po moci a že vítězství jedné či druhé strany nebylo tak samozřejmé, jak se nám s odstupem času může jevit. A také se dozvíme, že ani ve „velkých dějinách“ není nouze o naprosto nepravděpodobné náhody. Je nesporné, že výsledky některých bitev či rozhodujících střetnutí zapříčinily zánik, nebo naopak přežití národů, států, či dokonce celých civilizací. Jak ale vybrat ty nejzásadnější? Autor se orientuje podle následujících aspektů: přínos pro demokracii a svobodu, střet mezi západní a východní kulturou, výboje a pokusy o nadvládu nad jinými národy atd. Války nejsou jen mechanismem sloužícím k zabíjení, jsou i prostředkem technologického pokroku. Je až s podivem, kolik konfliktů bylo zásadně ovlivněno rozdílnou kvalitou technického vybavení soupeřících stran či inovativní vojenskou taktikou a nakolik tyto „vynálezy“ změnily tvář nadcházejících bojů. Ačkoliv z takového úhlu možná o vojevůdcích a vojenských velitelích příliš nepřemýšlíme, drtivá většina z nich si kladla za cíl ušetřit co nejvíc životů svých vojáků, a proto inovovali vybavení i taktiku boje tak, aby při plnění vojenských cílů padlo co nejmenší procento jejich mužstva. Autor nemá prostor na obšírné líčení dobového kontextu a běžného života vojáka v poli (o civilistech, které každá válka zasáhne nejbolestivěji ani nemluvě), ale i přes to před nás předkládá obraz pětadvaceti století, kterými se jako krvavá linie táhne historie fatálních bitev, bez kterých by naše současnost vypadala dozajista úplně jinak. O autorovi William Weir je vojenský historik a publicista, autor téměř dvou desítek vysoce hodnocených knih, převážně zaměřených na vojenství a zbraně. Written with Lead, Fatal Victories, A Well Regulated Militia, Soldiers in the Shadows, Turning Points in Military History, 50 Weapons that Changed Warfare a další. Žije v Guilfordu v Connecticutu.

Travelling from a romantic boathouse to a veranda overlooking the water and a bonfire picnic on the beach, Weir also shows how to create the coastal look for yourself, no matter where you live. Combining rustic charm with warm modernism, New Coastaltakes you on an adventure to refresh your soul.

Freedom is celebrated as the definitive ideal of modern western civilization. Yet in western thought and practice, the freedom of some has typically been defined through opposition to the unfreedom of others. These exclusions are not secondary to a prior concept of freedom but are constitutive exclusions that have shaped the ways in which western theorists define what freedom is. Allison Weir draws on Indigenous political philosophies and practices of decolonization grounded in conceptions of relationality and resurgence, in dialogue with western philosophies, to reconstruct a tradition of relational freedom as a distinctive political conception of freedom: a radically democratic mode of engagement and participation in social and political relations with an infinite range of strange and diverse beings perceived as free agents in interdependent relations in a shared world. Through the work of Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, John Borrows, Glen Coulthard, Audra Simpson, Rauna Kuokkanen, Joanne Barker, Jodi Byrd, James Tully, and many others, this book traces a tradition of colonial unknowing in western conceptions of freedom from Hobbes through republican and critical theories, and explores a countertradition of relations between freedom and collective love, exemplified in Leanne Betasamosake Simpson''s love of land and Hannah Arendt''s love of the world. It considers Indigenous modes of world-creation as performative, affective, embodied strategies of democratic life, skilled modes of addressing diversity and conflict, fear and hostility, in practices of freedom that embrace polycentric knowledges and rooted dynamisms, in contexts of complexity and constant change. Weir argues that Indigenous women''s struggles to belong to communities and participate in governance have engendered new theories of relational rights that combine politics of rights and resurgence, and calls for a coalitional politics guided by queer and feminist Indigenous models of transformative resurgence. Finally, Weir proposes an approach to critical theory as a practice of self-transformation through openness to the other, oriented toward relational freedom.

As the composer/lyricist for Godspell, Pippin, Wicked, and other musicals, Stephen Schwartz has enjoyed one of the most significant careers in American musical theater for more than four decades. Schwartz has also achieved success on the big screen, contributing to such films as Enchanted, The Prince of Egypt, and Pocahontas. For his work, he has received six Tony nominations, three Grammys, and three Academy Awards. The Musical Theater of Stephen Schwartz: From Godspell to Wicked and Beyond is a detailed examination of Schwartz’s various projects throughout his career. Musicologist Paul R. Laird discusses at length Schwartz’s major shows and also considers his other ventures, such as the music and lyrics for animated features from Disney and Dreamworks. The book focuses on two major aspects of Schwartz’s creations: the process of collaboration resulting in a project’s completion and a descriptive analysis of his music and lyrics. Laird also describes each show’s critical reception and its place in the larger history of musical theater. Based on extensive interviews with Schwartz and a number of his major collaborators, this book provides a rare look into the creation of the composer and lyricist’s shows and films. The Musical Theater of Stephen Schwartz is intended for fans as well as students and professional researchers in music, theater, and the musical theater.

''Probably the most ambitious, generous and thorough volume about a musician to see publication'' Mouth MagazineThe authorised companion to the music of Nick Drake, compiled, composed and edited by Cally Callomon and Gabrielle Drake, with contributions from Nick''s friends, critics, adherents, family and from Nick Drake himself.Remembered For A While is not a biography. It is, rather, an attempt to cast a few shards of light on Nick Drake the poet, the musician, the singer, the friend, son and brother, who was also more than all of these. We hope it will accompany all those in search of an elusive artist, whose haunting presence defies analysis.The book contains:* In-depth interviews with many of Nick''s friends, most notably Paul Wheeler, Nick''s close friend from Cambridge days, a singer-songwriter who, of all Nick''s friends, perhaps best understood, from personal experience, Nick''s journey through musical creation to despair and back again.* A selection of photos from all eras - some never seen before - with reproductions of documents such as the scrapbook Molly Drake kept of her son''s press cuttings, and the original and rejected album covers.* Images of Nick''s handwritten and typed lyrics, including the lyrics of some songs for which the music has never been found.* Newly commissioned pieces by Nick''s friends Jeremy Harmer, Brian Wells, Robin Frederick and the poet Will Stone. Contributions also from the sleeve designer Michael Trevithick, Island Records''s Ann Sullivan and the photographer and artist Nigel Waymouth.*Extracts from Nick''s letters - part of an extensive correspondence that exists between Nick and his parents, which charts their relationship from the time he first went to boarding school until the time he came home, when his depression had settled upon him and he felt he had nowhere else to go. From this point, Nick''s life was documented by his father, Rodney Drake, who kept a detailed diary, as he and his wife Molly struggled to understand their son''s state of mind and how to help him. Passages from this poignant record are included.* A short musical guide to each song''s key and tuning to accompany the lyrics, together with an explanatory interpretation of Nick''s guitar performance, the result of several years close study by singer-songwriter Chris Healey.* A comprehensive guide to all of Nick''s live performances. * And a lengthy essay by noted music critic Pete Paphides, which includes interviews with Nick''s musical collaborators and friends - his producer Joe Boyd, his recording engineer John Wood and his orchestrator, the late Robert Kirby - as well as descriptions of the recording process of each album.

Finalist for the 2021 National Book Award (Fiction)"It was Indiana, it was the dirt she had bloomed up out of, it was who she was, what she felt, how she thought, what she knew."As a girl, Zorrie Underwood's modest and hardscrabble home county was the only constant in her young life. After losing both her parents, Zorrie moved in with her aunt, whose own death orphaned Zorrie all over again, casting her off into the perilous realities and sublime landscapes of rural, Depression-era Indiana. Drifting west, Zorrie survived on odd jobs, sleeping in barns and under the stars, before finding a position at a radium processing plant. At the end of each day, the girls at her factory glowed from the radioactive material.But when Indiana calls Zorrie home, she finally finds the love and community that have eluded her in and around the small town of Hillisburg. And yet, even as she tries to build a new life, Zorrie discovers that her trials have only begun.Spanning an entire lifetime, a life convulsed and transformed by the events of the 20th century, Laird Hunt's extraordinary novel offers a profound and intimate portrait of the dreams that propel one tenacious woman onward and the losses that she cannot outrun. Set against a harsh, gorgeous, quintessentially American landscape, this is a deeply empathetic and poetic novel that belongs on a shelf with the classics of Willa Cather, Marilynne Robinson, and Elizabeth Strout.

From National Book Award Finalist Laird Hunt, a masterful collection of interwoven stories capturing one summer''s day in Reagan-era Indiana.Candy Wilson has forgotten to buy the paprika. Turner Davis needs to get his zinnias in. Della Dorner told her mother she was going to Milky Freeze, but that''s not where she''s really headed on her new Schwinn five-speed.Float Up, Sing Down is the story of a single day. But in that day, how much teeming life! The residents of this rural town have their routines, their preferences, their joys, grudges, and regrets. The old-timers savor past triumphs, cast back to lives circumscribed and defined by the World Wars, wonder what might have been. Youngsters covet cars, karate moves, kissing; they writhe in the first blushes of love or pain or independence. Gossip is paramount. Lives are entwined. Retired sheriffs climb corn bins and muse on lost love, French teachers throw firecrackers out of barn windows, and teenagers borrow motorcycles to ride the back roads.Each of the fourteen stories of Float Up, Sing Down follows one character''s ''day-in-the-life'' in one of Hunt''s most beloved and enduring landscapes. As the book unfolds these lives echo and glance off of one another with elegance and warmth, a tenderness born of strength. In the tradition of Willa Cather, Sherwood Anderson, Elizabeth Strout, and Edward P. Jones, this is a symphony of souls, a masterful portrait of both loneliness and community by one of our great limners of American experience.

''Self-Made'' success is now an American badge of honor that rewards individualist ambitions while it hammers against community obligations. Yet, four centuries ago, our foundational stories actually disparaged ambitious upstarts as dangerous and selfish threats to a healthy society. In Pamela Walker Laird''s fascinating history of why and how storytellers forged this American myth, she reveals how the goals for self-improvement evolved from serving the community to supporting individualist dreams of wealth and esteem. Simplistic stories of self-made success and failure emerged that disregarded people''s advantages and disadvantages and fostered inequality. Fortunately, Self-Made also recovers long-standing, alternative traditions of self-improvement to serve the common good. These challenges to the myth have offered inspiration, often coming, surprisingly, from Americans associated with self-made success, such as Benjamin Franklin, Frederick Douglass, and Horatio Alger. Here are real stories that show that no one lives – no one succeeds or fails – in a vacuum.

Klasika křesťanské duchovní literatury, inspirace pro život v důvěrném vztahu s Bohem. Hannah Whitall Smithová byla pensylvánská kvakerka, která svým pojetím duchovního života odvážně vykročila z tíživé a pochmurné spirituality rozšířené mezi tehdejšími křesťany. Bůh je v jejím pohledu milující otec, který nás doprovází ve velkém dobrodružství života. Kniha je plná radosti, přestože autorčin život nebyl mnohdy lehký. Jak často připomínala, Písmo je "prozářené radostnou zvěstí". Její kniha vyzařuje právě tuto evangelní radost a od svého prvního vydání v roce 1870 inspirovala už přes dva milióny čtenářů. Nakladatelství Triton s radostí předkládá čtenářům první české vydání této úspěšné knihy.
