eBook: Regarded as one of his finest works, Henry James' ‘The Bostonians’ (1886) is a brilliant satire about the women’s rights movement in America. Verena Tarrant is an inspirational feminist speaker, but her two disparate cousins are at loggerheads as they seek to control her future. Boston feminist Olive Chancellor hopes to turn Verena into a famous activist, while Basil Ransom, a southern lawyer, hopes to win Verena’s heart. Fans of ´The Bostonians´ might want to watch the movie adaptation from 1984, starring Christopher Reeve and Vanessa Redgrave. Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-born British author, and one of the founders of the school of realism in fiction. His inventive use of interior monologues and unreliable narrators brought complexity and depth to his work, making him hugely popular. A prolific writer, he published numerous novels, articles, travel books, biographies and plays. Among his best-known works are ‘Daisy Miller’ (1879), ‘The Portrait of a Lady’ (1881), and ‘The Bostonians’ (1886). Many of his stories have been adapted for TV and film, but it is his celebrated Gothic novella ‘The Turn of the Screw’ (1898), regarded as one of the greatest ghost stories ever written, that has been adapted more than any other. Most recently, the eponymous 2009 BBC TV series starring Michelle Dockery, and the Netflix series, ‘The Haunting of Bly Manor’ (2020).

Pavel Bobek a Marek Eben na nečekaně vyzrálém debutu černého pasažéra českého showbusinessu! Nestává se příliš často, aby se na trhu objevilo album interpreta, který je veřejnosti zcela neznámý, není to zrovna žádný mladík, neprošel žádnou z mnoha talentových soutěží a navíc chce zůstat utajen a aby takové album současně přinášelo písně hudebně i textově výjimečně vyzrálé, s jasným sdělením, v profesionální interpretaci špičkových studiových hudebníků a s hostováním známých zpěváků. A přesně takové je album Černej pasažér bývalého středoškolského učitele a nočního taxikáře Mirka Tabáka. Nahrávka, jež se stylově pohybuje v ranku chytrého a přímočarého country-rocku s prvky popu, folku, bluegrassu, blues či gospelu vznikala před několika lety během Mirkových taxikářských štací noční Prahou původně jen pro jeho kamarády a stejně jako její kvalita jsou překvapiví i hosté, které se podařilo tomuto doposud zcela neznámému hudebníkovi pro album získat. Tabákův duet s legendou českého country Pavlem Bobkem Klub štvanců je jedinou dosud nevydanou skladbou Pavla Bobka. Na spolupráci kývl i Marek Eben, který namluvil recitativ v titulní písni a byl tím, kdo dodal Tabákovi odvahu k prezentaci alba širší veřejnosti a poskytl mu své kontakty na prvotřídní zvuk i muzikanty, konkrétně na proslulé Studio Sono, mistra zvuku Milana Cimfeho a hudebníky jako jsou Peter Binder, Pavel Ryba, Martin Vajgl, Vlastimil Bičík, Luboš Malina a Luboš Novotný z Druhé trávy, Radek Pobořil z kapely Čechomor, Ondřej Konrád a řadu dalších, již se na albu podíleli. Pověstnou třešinkou na dortu je pak letošní mastering alba, který provedl v londýnském studiu Metropolis Mastering legendární Tony Cousins (mj. spolupracoval s Peterem Gabrielem, Markem Knofplerem, Ericem Claptonem, Tomem Jonesem, Annie Lennox nebo Adele). Album Mirka Tabáka Černej pasažér je v pravém smyslu slova objevem roku a je důkazem toho, že má smysl objevovat a veřejnosti předkládat kvality dosud utajené i za situace obchodně riskantní.
