Raymond Carver, who became a master-storyteller of his generation and was hailed in Europe as ''the American Chekhov'', wrote of himself: "I began as a poet. My first publication was a poem. So I suppose on my tombstone I''d be very pleased if they put ''Poet and short-story writer - and occasional essayist'', in that order." This complete edition allows readers to experience the range and overwhelming power of Carver''s poetry for the first time. It brings together in the order of their American publication the poems of Fires (1985), Where Water Comes Together with Other Water (1986), Ultramarine (1988), A New Path to the Waterfall (1989) and No Heroics, Please (1991). For readers who know Carver''s middle period only through his selected poems, In a Marine Light (1988), it includes the windfall of 51 poems not previously published in Britain. All of Us is edited by Professor William L. Stull of the University of Hartford, and introduced with an essay on Raymond Carver''s methods of composition by his widow, the poet Tess Gallagher.

Raymond Carver said it was possible ''to write about commonplace things and objects using commonplace but precise language and endow these things - a chair, a window curtain, a fork, a stone, a woman''s earring - with immense, even startling power''. Nowhere is this alchemy more striking than in the title story of Cathedral in which a blind man guides the hand of a sighted man as together they draw the cathedral the blind man can never see. Many view this story, and indeed this collection, as a watershed in the maturing of Carver''s work to a more confidently poetic style.

Výbor z poezie s doslovem a básněmi Tess Gallagherové, autorovy druhé manželky. Americký spisovatel R. Carver (1939-1988) proslul především jako autor povídek, s nimiž se už český čtenář měl možnost seznámit. Sám Carver si však více než povídek cenil své básnické tvorby, které se průběžně věnoval po celou svou spisovatelskou kariéru. Básně mapují vnější i vnitřní události Carverova soukromého života - rozporuplný vztah k matce, otci, první ženě a dětem, boj se závislostí na alkoholu, zážitky z cest po světě a rybářských výprav, hluboký vztah ke druhé ženě Tess, boj s rakovinou a smíření se smrtí. Podobně jako v povídkách, tak i v básních ještě ve větší zkratce dokáže povýšit banální životní okamžik na moment čehosi posvátného.

Takto by se v roce 1981 jmenovala a takto by vypadala druhá velká Carverova sbírka, kdyby ji redaktor Gordon Lish autorovi neseškrtal, nepřepsal a nepřejmenoval na "O čem mluvíme, když mluvíme o lásce". Zachovala se korespondence obou pánu, ze které vyplývá, že se Carver velmi snažil své dílo uhájit, ale nebylo mu to nic platné: Lish mu z některých povídek vyhodil čtyři pětiny textu. Carver (1938-1988) ještě za svého života některé původní verze vydal, ale v úplnosti nyní "přepsané" povídky vycházejí poprvé.

These seven stories were the last that Carver wrote. Among them is one of his longest, ''Errand'', in which he imagines the death of Chekhov, a writer Carver hugely admired and to whose work his own was often compared. This fine story suggests that the greatest of modern short-story writers may, in the year before his untimely death, have been flexing his muscles for a longer work.

With this, his first collection, Carver breathed new life into the short story. In the pared-down style that has since become his hallmark, Carver showed how humour and tragedy dwell in the hearts of ordinary people, and won a readership that grew with every subsequent brilliant collection of stories, poems and essays that appeared in the last eleven years of his life.

What We Talk About When We Talk About Love is Carver''s most famous collection of short stories and remians one of the most influential pieces of modern literature to date. But the original, unedited manuscript, Beginners – published here for the first time, was almost fifty per cent longer than the published collection. This restored version of Carver''s stories reveals what was previously unsaid, filling in the narrative silences that have both inspired and mystified readers for so long. Beginners is a fascinating insight into the aesthetic of a literary great and, in the questions it raises, may just spark off one of the great cultural debates of our times.

Třetím svazkem pětidílného českého vydání všech povídek legendárního amerického spisovatele je sbírka Katedrála, Carverova kniha nejuznávanější, a to nejen díky slavné titulní povídce. Autor se v této sbírce z roku 1983 vymanil z vlivu svého redaktora a vymínil si, že se redakční zásahy mohou týkat jen interpunkce. Toto je tedy Carver "nezkreslený vnějšími vlivy". Doslov k českému vydání dodala Tess Gallagherová, druhá Carverova žena, která "byla přitom".

Knihu uzavírá blok sedmi povídek, které jsou vrcholem Carverova díla a stačily vyjít těsně před jeho smrtí v roce 1988 (tedy zejména ta, jíž Carver postavil pomník sobě i svému oblíbenému A. P. Čechovovi). Z jednadvaceti zahrnutých titulů zde má českou premiéru dvanáct povídek.

Where are you from? No, where are you really from? explores three central themes: migration, identity and belonging, examining them in the context of empire, and its continuing impact on the lives of those in Britain today. The question, ''Where are you from?'' is familiar to all. But for people of colour, it more often than not carries an insinuation that they don''t really belong. This is made explicit in the frequent follow-up: ''No, where are you really from?'' This book explores why the question continues to be asked and considers its impact on people of colour.The author draws on memoir and historical research, tracing the experiences of empire and migration across seven generations of her family, delving back to the 1760s, spanning various countries, including Britain, Ireland, Imperial India and Singapore. She sets the stories of individual women and men in the socio-political contexts of their times and discusses the factors that lead them to set out on uncertain and arduous journeys across continents, including conflict, abduction, displacement, economic necessity, and love. The book explores the meanings of these stories for our age. The stories have resonance for anyone that has personal or family experiences of migration, but draw ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A story of migration, identity and belonging, drawing on the stories of people from Audrey Osler''s mixed-heritage family, over three centuries. Whether or not we trace our families from beyond the shores of Britain, we British people deserve a better understanding of our shared past, and opportunities to explore and recognise the complexities and contractions of empire. Careless or wilful amnesia has allowed the British migration narrative to begin in the mid-twentieth century, with migrants from India, Pakistan and the Caribbean forming the foundation of present-day multicultural Britain. A racist fixation means that some twenty-first-century Britons fantasise that people of colour arrived after World War Two, without any link to the country, to exploit the British welfare state and British hospitality.For people of colour the questions, Where are you from? No, where are you really from? often imply more than simple curiosity. They are political questions of identity, since the assumption (naive or aggressive) is that to be British and to belong you must be white.

A guided journey to discover your soul’s answers to life’s great questions. Human life is surrounded by mystery. At the centre of this mystery is the question: Why are we here? is there a purpose to our existence, a reason why we’re experiencing the beauty and pain of physical life? There is also the mystery of the universe itself. What is it and where did it come from? Religious and spiritual traditions have created complex cosmologies to answer these questions, but each tradition has a different answer and we are left with profound uncertainty about deeper reality.

In the words of Cornel West, Raymond Williams was "the last of the great European male revolutionary socialist intellectuals." A figure of international importance in the fields of cultural criticism and social theory, Williams was also preoccupied throughout his life with the meaning and significance of his Welsh identity. Who Speaks for Wales? was the first collection of Raymond WilliamsÂ’s writings on Welsh culture, literature, history, and politics. Published in 2003, it appeared in the early years of Welsh political devolution and offered a historical and theoretical basis for thinking across the divisions of nationalism and socialism in Welsh thought. This new edition, appearing in the centenary of WilliamsÂ’ birth, appears at a very different moment in which, after the Brexit referendum of 2016, Raymond WilliamsÂ’s "Welsh-European" vision seems to have been soundly rejected and is now a reminder of what might have been. This new edition includes new material and a new afterword. WilliamsÂ’s engagement with questions of nationhood and identity contained in this book spoke to readers from Berlin to New York, Sao Paulo to Tokyo. Daniel G. WilliamsÂ’s new edition further underlines the ways in which Raymond WilliamsÂ’ engagement with Welsh issues makes a significant contribution to ... Unknown localization key: "more"
