Sherlock Holmes a Shadwellské stíny - James Lovegrove
Máme pro vás špatnou zprávu. Všechno, co jste kdy četli o Sherlocku Holmesovi, byla lež.Lež sepsaná s těmi nejlepšími úmysly, přesto však lež.Doktor John Watson, Holmesův věrný společník, nechtěl, aby se svět dozvěděl pravdu; protože taková pravda by odhalila příliš mnoho, příliš skutečností o silách za hranicemi našeho světa, o netvorech, kteří se vymykají zákonům přírody i logiky.Nyní však máte přiležitost přečíst si, jak to bylo doopravdy. Jaká byla skutečná povaha zranění, které doktor Watson utrpěl v Afghánistánu? Kdo vraždí chudáky v londýnské čtvrti Shadwell? Zneuctěný lékař, čínský obchodník s opiem, nebo něco dočista jiného? A kdo k čertu ukradl z Britského muzea vzácnou kopii Necronomiconu?James Lovegrove vykresluje alternativní svět, v němž se příběhy sira Arthura Conana Doylea prolínají s běsy H. P. Lovecrafta a navzájem se doplňují jako jin a jang. Racionalita proti nelogičnosti. Rozum proti šílenství.A – v tomto prvním díle trilogie zvlášť – světlo proti stínům.

Holmesova brilantní mysl a Quatermainova neohroženost tvoří nečekaný tým, který musí čelit korupci, pomstě a neznámým silám. Napínavá kombinace detektivního umu a dobrodružného ducha odkrývá nejen spletité tajemství, ale i hranice lidské logiky a odvahy. "Napínavé čtení od začátku do konce.

The mind-bending original adventures of Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, are brought to life for a new era by New York Times-bestselling author James Lovegrove.A self-centred healer, Stephen Strange is arrogant, but it''s almost justified. After all, he is one of the best surgeons in the country. However, that all takes a dark turn following a horrific car crash.The doctor survives but at a great cost: his hands are irreparably damaged, and he can no longer perform surgery. No doctor can help him. Nor can faith healers or gurus. Nearing the end of his rope, he seeks out mystic help from the Ancient One, a man rumoured to possess unearthly talents. The Ancient One isn’t able to heal his hands, but he teaches Stephen the mystic arts as well as discipline, self-restraint, and, eventually, selflessness. These qualities soon lead him to clash with his fellow student, Baron Mordo. After completing his training, Doctor Strange leaves the temple and uses his magical powers to defend the Earth from arcane threats that few humans can conceive of— battling rival sorcerers, thwarting Nightmare, the malevolent ruler of dreams, and daring to defy the terrifying despot of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu. This creative novelization ...

The Bard in the Borderlands – An Anthology of Shakespeare Appropriations en La Frontera, Volume 1 - Adrianna M. Santos, Kathryn Vomero Santos, Kathe
This volume features a wide range of plays that reimagine Shakespeare works from Borderlands perspectives.  For several decades, Chicanx and Indigenous theatermakers have been repurposing Shakespeare’s plays to reflect the histories and lived realities of the US–Mexico Borderlands and to create space to tell stories of and for La Frontera. Celebrating this rich tradition, The Bard in the Borderlands: An Anthology of Shakespeare Appropriations en La Frontera brings a wide range of Borderlands Shakespeare plays together for the first time in a multi-volume open-access scholarly edition. This anthology celebrates the dynamic, multilingual reworking of canon and place that defines Borderlands Shakespeare, and it situates these geographically and temporally diverse plays within the robust study of Shakespeare’s global afterlives. The editors offer a critical framework for understanding the artistic and political traditions that shape these plays and the place of Shakespeare within the multilayered colonial histories of the region. Borderlands Shakespeare plays, they contend, do not simply reproduce Shakespeare in new contexts but rather use his work in innovative ways to negotiate colonial power and to envision socially just futures.

Rabindranath Tagore : An Anthology - Tagore Rabindranath
These prose translations from Tagore have stirred my blood as nothing has for years,' wrote WB Yeats in 1912.

Collected here are a play, short stories, extracts from a novel, poems, songs, epigrams and paintings, as well as memoirs, letters, essays and conversations. From his celebrated play, The Post Office to his fantastic paintings and drawings, this is the first anthology to show clearly the literary sophistication, emotional power and intellectual range of Tagore's whole achievement. 'Krishna Dutta and Andrew Robinson bring the whole of Tagore into sharper focus. But they also offer a deep insight into the making of modern India. The essays, letters, conversations and poems of Tagore retrace a journey made by a builder of modern conciousness in India' - New Statesman

Great players such as Brian O''Driscoll, Willie John McBride, J. P. R. Williams, Chester Williams, Colin Meads, Gavin Hastings and Brian Moore give us a fascinating insider''s view, as does World Cup Final referee Derek Bevan, who reveals what it is like to try to control thirty powerful and often volatile men in a highly competitive situation. But some of the best writing and the wittiest insights come from those who played their rugby at a much less exalted level. The origins of the game - sometimes true, sometimes fanciful - are explored as are some of its rituals like the haka. There are amusing tales including that of the four Tibetan boys sent by the Dalai Lama to learn the game at Rugby School and an account of New Zealand scrum-half Chris Laidlaw''s hostile reception at a village fête in Wales. Along with barely believable stories about the game''s hardest ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Je jaro roku 1895; více než deset let boje proti tajuplným bytostem stálo doktora Johna Watsona jeho milovanou ženu Mary a téměř podlomilo zdraví Sherlocka Holmese.

Kromě toho je strašlivě zjizvený a nevzpomíná si, kdo je.Detektivové zjišťují, že tento pacient byl kdysi vědcem, studentem na Miskatonické univerzitě a jedním ze dvou lidí, kteří přežili k záhubě odsouzenou cestu po řece Miskatonic, na níž měl být polapen polomytický shoggoth. Jak se však ocitl v Londýně, zbavený rozumu? A když ho potom z Bedlamu unesou síly vymykající se normálnímu smrtelnému chápání, začne být zřejmé, že tento případ zahrnuje mnohem víc než jednoho vyšinutého Bostoňana.Holmes a Watson musejí zjistit, co se doopravdy stalo na oné osudné plavbě v Nové Anglii; jen tak totiž mohou odhalit pravdu a dozvědět se, kdo stojí za miskatonickým monstrem…

An Anthology of Contemporary Bengali Plays by Bratya Basu - Bratya Basu
This anthology of six selected plays, written between 2000 and 2020 by Bratya Basu, winner of the Sahitya Akademi Award 2021, is the first collection of Bengali plays that blends avant-garde, pop and traditional cultures with contemporary dramatic themes. The six plays, freshly translated into English, each bring a uniquely Bengali and Indian perspective to the intermingling of past and present, global and local, and magical and real in a postmodern pastiche about India today. The collection is divided into three thematic sections: 1) ‘Poignant Challenges, Soulful Remorse’ examines power in Indian politics, religion, and family. 2) ‘(In)visible Boundaries, (Un)democratic Choices’ explores the relationship among democracy, nation building, and the role of women in intergenerational political struggle. 3) ‘Intimately Political, Politically Intimate’ navigates queer identity, mental health and the fabulation of modern Bengali life in a 21st-century India straddling the progressive politics that removed section 377 and Hindu nationalisms that stoke new conservatisms.

Moreover, the man is horribly scarred and has no memory of who he is.The detectives discover that the inmate was once a scientist, a student of Miskatonic University, and one of two survivors of a doomed voyage down the Miskatonic River to capture the semi-mythical shoggoth. Yet how has he ended up in London, without his wits? And when the man is taken from Bedlam by forces beyond normal mortal comprehension, it becomes clear that there is far more to the case than one disturbed Bostonian. It is only by learning what truly happened on that fateful New England voyage that Holmes and Watson will uncover the truth, and learn who is behind the Miskatonic monstrosity…
