The maze of human memory--the ways in which we accommodate and alter it, deceive and deliver ourselves with it--is territory that Kazuo Ishiguro has made his own. In his previous novels, he has explored this inner world and its manifestations in the lives of his characters with rare inventiveness and subtlety, shrewd humor and insight. In When We Were Orphans, his first novel in five years, he returns to this terrain in a brilliantly realized story that illuminates the power of one's past to determine the present.Christopher Banks, an English boy born in early-twentieth-century Shanghai, is orphaned at age nine when his mother and father both vanish under suspicious circumstances. Sent to live in England, he grows up to become a renowned detective and, more than twenty years later, returns to Shanghai, where the Sino-Japanese War is raging, to solve the mystery of the disappearances.The story is straightforward. Its telling is remarkable. Christopher's voice is controlled, detailed, and detached, its precision unsurprising in someone who has devoted his life to the examination of details and the rigors of objective thought. But within the layers of his narrative is slowly revealed what he can't, or won't, see: that his memory, despite what he wants to believe, is not unaffected by his childhood tragedies; that his powers of perception, the heralded clarity of his vision, can be blinding as well as enlightening; and that the simplest desires--a child's for his parents, a man's for understanding--may give rise to the most complicated truths.A masterful combination of narrative control and soaring imagination, When We Were Orphans is Kazuo Ishiguro at his best.

Jeho úsilí je poháněno tragédií, která ho pronásleduje po většinu života, a jeho bezohledná honba za úspěchem a pomstou mu nechává jen málo prostoru pro srdeční záležitosti. Když je však okolnostmi přinucen postarat se o sestru svého nejlepšího přítele, začne na hrudi cítit něco nečekaného: Prasklinu. Tání. Oheň, který by mohl jeho svět převrátit vzhůru nohama. Ava Chenová je svobodná duše uvězněná nočními můrami pocházejícími z dětství, na které si nevzpomíná. Navzdory své zlomené minulosti však nikdy nepřestala vidět na světě krásu... včetně srdce pod ledovou slupkou muže, jehož by nikdy neměla chtít. Je to nejlepší kamarád jejího bratra. Její soused. Její zachránce i její zkáza. Ti dva se do sebe nikdy neměli zamilovat – ale když se to stalo, na světlo světa vyšla tajemství, která by mohla zničit vše, co je jim drahé. Twisted Love je román o tom, jak se protiklady přitahují, a má v sobě prvek napětí. Jedná se o první knihu ze série Twisted, ale lze ji číst i samostatně. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: Josh Chen nikdy nepotkal ženu, kterou by nedokázal okouzlit - až na Jules. Společenská a ambiciózní Jules se teď soustředí na jediné: složit advokátní zkoušky. To poslední, co potřebuje, je zaplést se s Joshem. Ale čím víc ho poznává, tím víc si uvědomuje, že v muži, kterého tak dlouho nesnášela, je víc, než se zdá. Jejich vztah je jako stvořený v pekle, a když je dostihnou démoni z minulosti, oba dva musí čelit pravdě, která je buď může zachránit... anebo zničit vše, o co se snažili. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Dějiny nejsou příběhem, ale skládají se z příběhů. Každý je vidí jinak, každý je jinak prožívá. Tato kniha nabízí možnost podívat se na tehdejší dynamickou dobu deseti páry očí, které měly lepší schopnost vidět ten správný okamžik tehdejšího času. Kniha je osobní, zejména fotografickou reflexí událostí roku 1989 očima tehdejších studentů žurnalistiky a dalších škol či fotografů a kameramanů, kteří většinou stáli teprve na počátku své profesní dráhy. Dokumentovali první demonstrace začátkem roku 1989 a zejména dramatické listopadové události. Zachytili i momenty symbolizující konec totalitního režimu, ať již v podobě odstraňování ostnatého drátu a volného průchodu přes hranice či první prezidentské inaugurace Václava Havla nebo prvních svobodných voleb po sametové revoluci. Reportážní fotografie nepořizovali v rámci školního či pracovního zadání, nýbrž z vlastní iniciativy, v euforii z převratných událostí té doby a s motivací zachytit alespoň určité momenty zásadní společenské změny. Přes sto sedmdesát fotografií tak zároveň vydává autentické svědectví o autorech samých, o jejich entuziasmu a zápalu pro věc. Fotografická kniha deseti kameramanů Zpravodajství ČT proto ani nemůže být uvedena jinak než předmluvou jednoho z jejich kolegů - studenta fakulty žurnalistiky patřícího mezi hlavní organizátory studentské "revoluční novinařiny", stávajícího ředitele zpravodajství a sportu České televize Zdeňka Šámala.

eBook:,Slavný český humoristický román o dobrodružstvích pěti chlapců z malého českého městečka je psán formou dětského deníku kupeckého synka Petra Bajzy. Uprostřed druhé světové války, v nejtěžším období svého života - před transportem do Osvětimi v roce 1944 - český spisovatel Karel Poláček (1892-1944) prostřednictvím dětského vypravěče vzpomíná na šťastné mládí. Před čtenářem se objevuje svět viděný očima dětí, zažívá jejich každodenní příhody a střety s nepochopitelným světem dospělých i boje se sousedními dětskými partami. Vděčným zdrojem humoru je zejména půvabný klukovský jazyk. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A favorite work of Czech humor, We Were a Handful depicts the adventures of five boys from a small Czech town through the diary of Petr Bajza, the grocer's son. Written by Karel Polacek at the height of World War II before his deportation to Auschwitz in 1944, this book draws on the happier years of Polacek's own childhood as inspiration. As we look upon the world through Petr's eyes, we, too, marvel at the incomprehensible world of grownups; join in fights between gangs of neighborhood kids; and laugh at the charming language of boys, a major source of the book's humor. This translation at last offers English-language readers the opportunity to share in Petr's (and Polacek's) childhood and reminds us that joy and laughter are possible even in the darkest times.
