eBook: She had been at Oakvale Springs for two weeks. She was alone, out of her element, and knew nobody. The fact that she was a New Yorker, and had never before been so far South, was rather against her. On her arrival she had been glanced over and commented upon with candor.“She is a Yankee,” said the pretty and remarkably youthful-looking mother of an apparently grown-up family from New Orleans. “You can see it.”And though the remark was not meant to be exactly severe, Olivia felt that it was very severe, indeed, under existing circumstances. She heard it as she was giving her orders for breakfast to her own particular jet-black and highly excitable waiter, and she felt guilty at once and blushed, hastily taking a sip of ice-water to conceal her confusion. When she went upstairs afterward she wrote a very interesting letter to her brother in New York, and tried to make an analysis of her sentiments for his edification. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: A wonderfully powerful and interesting story of modern life and political intrigues in Washington, full of dramatic intensity and vivid portraiture. As a story of Washington life, dealing largely with what might be called social politics, it is certainly a success.

Knížka, jejíž anotaci právě prohlížete, je až neskutečně krásná a pronikavě silná. Je z toho šafránově mála vyprávění, jimž člověk podlehne, ať je mu devět, třicet dva nebo sedmdesát osm let. Výjimečná knížka, příběh psaný pro čtenářky a právě tak pro čtenáře! Hned na počátku prožijeme hrůzu: Potom se začaly dít hrozné věci a Mary pochopila, co znamená tajemná atmosféra, která se vznášela nad oním ránem. Propukla totiž cholera. Rozpoutala se ve své nejhorší podobě a lidé padali mrtví k zemi jako mouchy. Chůva onemocněla hned první noc a právě kvůli její smrti se ozýval nářek z příbytků služebnictva. Než nadešel další den, zemřeli ještě tři sluhové a ostatní se v hrůze rozutekli pryč. Všude se šířila panika a v bungalovech umírali lidé. Z Mary se během několika hodin stává sirotek a za několik dní musí opustit koloniální Indii - jediný domov, který dosud poznala. Vydává se ke vzdáleným příbuzným do Anglie, jenže v jejich velkém tmavém domě, který má snad stovku většinou nepoužívaných, zamčených pokojů - nejméně jeden z nich ovšem ukrývá tajemství - se cítí, jako by zůstala na světě úplně sama. Zvlášť když člověk všude kolem narazí napřed na lány nudných zelinářských záhonů a za nimi pak na nekonečná pustá vřesoviště. Ještě věříte, že je to výjimečně krásná kniha? Sáhla do kapsy, vytáhla klíč a zjistila, že se do klíčové dírky hodí. Zasunula ho dovnitř a otočila jím. Musela klíč chytit oběma rukama, a nakonec povolil. Pak se zhluboka nadechla a podívala se na dlouhou cestičku za sebou, aby se přesvědčila, že tam nikdo není. Zřejmě tudy žádní lidé nechodí. Mary se znovu zhluboka nadechla, protože byla nervózní, odsunula dlouhý pohupující se břečťanový závěs a zatlačila do dveří, které se pomaličku otevřely. Mary vklouzla rychle dovnitř, dveře za sebou zavřela, zůstala stát zády k nim a rozhlížela se kolem. Dech se jí zrychlil vzrušením, údivem a radostí současně. Stála uvnitř tajemné zahrady. Život malé Mary a jejího bratrance Colina - ještě před chvílí to byli docela otravní a sobečtí jedinci - se navždy promění. Zláká je zahrada a život v ní se všemi nástrahami a háčky. Podaří se jim kdysi krásnou, ale teď zanedbanou zahradu s pomocí zkušenějšího kamaráda Dickona tajně vzkřísit, poznají ji jako živoucí a umíněnou bytost a pak zjistí, že rozkvétají spolu s ní a že se vlastně stal zázrak: V trávě pod stromy, v šedých kamenných nádobách na květiny, které stály ve výklencích a všude jinde, zářily zlaté, fialové a bílé flíčky. Na stromech nad nimi svítily růžové a sněhobílé květy. Všude se třepetala křídla, znělo sladké cvrlikání a bzukot a rozléval se bezpočet vůní. Tajemná zahrada je příběh o skrytých silách a zřejmých nádherách přírody, o jejím ohrožení a o úsilí, jež ji dokáže navrátit k novému životu, je to vyprávění plné tajemných náznaků, znepokojivých psychologických momentů, překvapivých odhalení a hlubokých, fantastických záhad. Vyprávění, jež se staví s porozuměním ke složitostem života, k otázkám dobra a zla a hlavně k nám, kteří ono dobro i zlo zosobňujeme. Příběh dostal už mnohokrát filmovou i televizní podobu a jeho muzikálové provedení okouzlilo Broadway. V nejnovější filmové verzi (2020) vynikají Colin Firth a mladinká Dixie Egerickx.

eBook:,Marek Nekula připravil soubor studií o tom, jak Praha formovala Kafkovu osobnost a dílo. Kniha začíná kritickou diskuzí o problematickém přijímání Franze Kafky v Československu, které začalo na konferenci v Liblici v roce 1963. Zde byl Kafka zachráněn před cenzurou za cenu "přepsání" jeho německého a židovského literárního a kulturního kontextu s cílem vyzdvihnout český vliv na jeho tvorbu. Studie se zaměřují na židovské sociální a literární prostředí v Praze, Kafkovu německo-českou dvojjazyčnost a jeho znalost jidiš a hebrejštiny. Kafkův bilingvismus je probírán v kontextu současných esencialistických názorů na spisovatelův jazyk a identitu. Nekula také věnuje zvláštní pozornost Kafkovu vzdělání, zkoumá jeho studia českého jazyka a literatury, jakož i jeho českou četbu a její roli v jeho intelektuálním životě. Knihu uzavírá otázkou, jak Kafka "četl" své městské prostředí. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
