Istanbul je poutavým a současně nezvyklým pohledem na jednu ze světových metropolí očima autora, který je s ní neodlučně spjat. Kniha je nejen holdem Istanbulu a Bosporské úžině, ale i jakousi osobní kronikou Pamukova uměleckého zrání. Rodinná historie a autorovy vzpomínky se prolínají s esejemi o malířích, spisovatelích a cestovatelích - západních i tureckých - spojených s Istanbulem. Pamukův Istanbul však není radostnou ódou na tisícileté město, nýbrž zachycuje město spíše v jeho pochmurných tónech a s jeho bytostnou melancholií, zdůrazněnou i podmanivými fotografi emi Ary Gülera.

"Many years have now gone by, and jealousy compels me to keep her name a secret, even from my readers. But I must provide a full and truthful account of what happened."It is mid-1980s Istanbul and Master Mahmut and his apprentice use ancient methods to dig wells - they are desperate to find water in a barren land. This is the tale of their struggle, but it is also a deeper investigation - through mesmerising stories and images - into Pamuk's prevailing themes: fathers and sons, the state and individual freedom, reading and seeing. It is also a richly literary work: The Red-Haired Woman borrows from the tradition of the French conte philosophique and asks probing questions of ethics and of the role of art in our lives. It is both a short, realist text investigating a murder which took place thirty years ago near Istanbul - and a fictional inquiry into the literary foundations of civilizations, comparing two fundamental myths of the West and the East respectively: Sophocles's Oedipus Rex (a story of patricide) and Ferdowsi's tale of Rostam and Sohrab (a story of filicide).The Red-Haired Woman is a masterful and mesmerising work which further confirms Orhan Pamuk as one of our greatest novelists.

Román je příběhem Cema, studnařského učedníka, jenž ve svém mistrovi nalézá otcovskou autoritu, kterou v životě postrádal. Do oidipovského vztahu těch dvou vstupuje tajemná rusovlasá žena, do níž se Cem bezhlavě zamiluje. Pamuk pracuje se vztahem otec-syn v několika dějových liniích, vedle klasického antického příběhu jde pro inspiraci do dávné perské legendy a děj staví do kulis Turecka od osmdesátých let minulého století do současnosti. V desátém románu tureckého nobelisty se objevují již dříve předkládané antagonismy Východ a Západ, minulost a budoucnost, tradice a moderna.

Píše se červenec 1980 a v Turecku se pomalu schyluje k dalšímu vojenskému převratu. Do přímořského letoviska nedaleko Istanbulu přijíždí jako každý rok čtyři sourozenci, aby navštívili svou devadesátiletou babičku. Zatímco venku stále houstne napětí mezi nacionalisty a levicovými bojůvkami, babiččin "tichý dům" vydává potlačovaná rodinná tajemství a rozehrávají se tu osudové životní příběhy.

Historicko-filozofický román Orhana Pamuka se odehrává v barvitém světě osmanského Istanbulu za vlády sultána Mehmeda IV. na konci 17. století a vypráví alegorický příběh o zvláštním vztahu benátského zajatce a jeho pána, istanbulského hodži, kteří jsou si k nerozeznání podobní. Vedle neotřelého zachycení života v mnohonárodnostní osmanské metropoli se román zamýšlí nad hranicemi poznání cizí kultury, vztahem mezi Evropou a Tureckem a stabilitou lidské identity. Pamukův román se stal v Turecku senzací a zahájil vlnu tzv. nového historického románu.

Cosi podivného v mé hlavě je rozsáhlá románová freska zachycující životní osudy pouličního prodavače Mevlüta, jehož rodina v 70. letech emigrovala ze střední Anatolie do Istanbulu. Na rozdíl od většiny svých předchozích děl Pamuk tentokrát opouští prostředí poevropštěné istanbulské smetánky a vydává se mezi migranty a nádeníky z okrajových částí města. Mevlüt se živí jako prodavač bozy, sladkého nápoje z lehce fermentované pšenice, a sní o tom, že jednoho dne zbohatne. Po tři roky neúnavně píše milostné dopisy dívce, kterou spatřil na jedné svatbě, ale nakonec si po sérii omylů odevzdaně vezme její sestru. Podobně smířen s osudem roky den co den obchází ulice Istanbulu a přemýšlí o oné "podivnosti", kterou cítí ve své hlavě a jež ho odlišuje od ostatních - a nakonec ho další zvrat osudu přivede k poznání, po čem to celý život vlastně tolik toužil… Melancholičnost příběhu je narušována plejádou hlasů dalších, mnohdy bytostně komických postav, z nichž každá poodhaluje část Mevlütovy osobnosti a dodává knize humorný podtón. Cosi podivného v mé hlavě je nezvyklým portrétem Istanbulu kresleným z úhlu, jenž je i pro autora novinkou: z pohledu těch, kdo tvoří samé dno pestré istanbulské společnosti; je to další monumentální encyklopedie města, v níž autor s pečlivostí zapáleného sběratele shromažďuje nepřeberné množství postav, historických událostí, jídel nabízených pouličními prodavači i podivuhodných příhod z chudých istanbulských uliček.

The great Dutch author and traveller Cees Nooteboom (author of Roads to Santiago and The Following Story) sheds new light on the city, its history and its treasures VENICE: "A dream of palaces and churches, of power and money, dominion and decline, a paradise of beauty." By the author of Roads to Santiago and Roads to BerlinWith this treasury of his time spent in Venice over a period of fifty-five years, Nooteboom makes himself the indispensable companion for all lovers of "the sailing, amphibious city", and for every new visitor.Because he is a master storyteller with an inexhaustible curiosity, and always with a suitcase of books (to which new discoveries are added), he brings vividly and poetically to life not only the tumultuous history of the Republic but along the way its doges, its villains, its heroes, its magnificent painters, its architects, its scholars, its skies, its canals and piazzas and alleyways, and on his expeditions its "bronze voices of time".Those who know and love this city and its literature will recognise Nooteboom - in Laura Watkinson's fine translation - as the dazzling heir and companion to Montaigne, Thomas Mann, Rilke, Ruskin, Proust, Brodsky, and Donna Leon. His homage to Venice is a generous introduction, learned and enchanting, and worthy of its magnificent subject."His writing is lyrical and densely textured. He is a poet of time and memory" - COLIN THUBRONTranslated from the Dutch by Laura Watkinson

Brideshead Revisited is Evelyn Waugh''s stunning novel of duty and desire set amongst the decadent, faded glory of the English aristocracy in the run-up to the Second World War.The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh''s novels, Brideshead Revisited looks back to the golden age before the Second World War. It tells the story of Charles Ryder''s infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian Flyte at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognise his spiritual and social distance from them.Evelyn Waugh (1903-66) was born in Hampstead, second son of Arthur Waugh, publisher and literary critic, and brother of Alec Waugh, the popular novelist. In 1928 he published his first work, a life of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and his first novel, Decline and Fall, which was soon followed by Vile Bodies (1930), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop (1938). In 1939 he was commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the Royal Horse Guards, serving in the Middle East and in Yugoslavia. In 1942 he published Put Out More Flags and then in 1945 Brideshead Revisited. Men at Arms (1952) was the first volume of ''The Sword of Honour'' trilogy, and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize; the other volumes, Officers and Gentlemen and Unconditional Surrender, followed in 1955 and 1961.If you enjoyed Brideshead Revisited, you might like Waugh''s Vile Bodies, also available in Penguin Classics.''Lush and evocative ...

Pro vzhled, charakter a život Prahy je od jejího vzniku zcela zásadním faktorem Vltava, řeka, jejíž tok připravil reliéf krajiny k osídlení pražského kotliny a poté k utváření města, které vyrostlo v metropoli. V průběhu své historie si město řeku pozvolna podmaňovalo. Pražané se naučili využívat její energie v mlýnech a později elektrárnách, řečiště překlenovat různými typy mostů, upravit břehy a ostrovy, vybudovat nábřeží. Do proměn tváře řeky nejradikálněji vstoupilo zřejmě 19. století. Vltavské břehy, dosud většinou využívané jako hospodářské periferie, se proměňovaly v žádané lokality s výstavnými budovami, společenskými centry a elegantními promenádami. Ve vstupní části ukazuje autorka historické sepětí Prahy a Vltavy řeky, kdy vystupovaly do popředí zejména praktické funkce řeky, dnes už většinou vnímané jako estetický prvek, dotvářející malebný obraz města. V druhé části se pak stává průvodkyní komentující současné fotografie zajímavých objektů a míst spojujících Vltavu s Prahou, ať to jsou historické mlýny, jezy, náplavky, ostrovy, vodárenské věže, mosty, nábřeží s jejich budovami i řeka jako místo společenského života města. Kromě fotografií exteriérů provázejí text dokumentační snímky, rejstřík lokací s mapou objektů, přehled ostrovů, mostů, nábřeží a také osobností.

The third book from the CEO of The Happiness Research Institute and internationally bestselling author of The Little Book of Hygge, Meik Wiking. Every year, we are given a fixed number of days. Some days pass us by without leaving a trace and some days we remember forever. Do you remember your first kiss? Or how the first rays of the spring sun feel? Or how about the best meal you ever had?These memorable experiences are characterized by intensity of perception, depth of feeling or sense of profound significance causing them to stand out in our mind and involve a heightened sense of wonder and awe. But what ingredients produce these happy memories? Why is it that a piece of music, a smell, a taste can take us back to something we had forgotten? And can we learn to create happy memories and be better at holding on to them? Combining research on happiness and mnemonics (learning techniques that aids memory retention or retrieval) Meik Wiking explores how peak experiences are made, stored and remembered. Using data and diaries, interviews, global surveys and studies and conducting real-life behavioural science and happiness experiments, the Happiness Research Institute will answer how we can we create perfect moments. Moments that will go down in history. Moments that will shape who we are.

A provocative, wildly funny, intellectually rigorous and engrossing novel, punctuated by Siri Hustvedt's own illustrations - a tour de force by one of America's most acclaimed and beloved writers. Fresh from Minnesota and hungry for all New York has to offer, twenty-three-year-old S.H. embarks on a year that proves both exhilarating and frightening - from bruising encounters with men to the increasingly ominous monologues of the woman next door. Forty years on, those pivotal months come back to vibrant life when S.H. discovers the notebook in which she recorded her adventures alongside drafts of a novel. Measuring what she remembers against what she wrote, she regards her younger self with curiosity and often amusement. Anger too, for how much has really changed in a world where the female presidential candidate is called an abomination?

One photograph, one treasured memory, one chance to go back . . .In a cosy photography studio in the mountains between this world and the next, someone is waking up as if from a dream. A kind man will hand them a hot cup of tea and gently explain that, having reached the end of their life, they have one final task. There is a stack of photos on their lap, one for every day of their life, and now they must choose the pictures that capture their most treasured memories, which will be placed in a beautiful lantern. Once completed, it will be set spinning, and their cherished moments will flash before their eyes, guiding them to another world.But, like our most thumbed-over photographs, our favourite memories become faded with age, so each visitor to the studio has the chance to choose one day to return to and photograph afresh. Each has a treasured story to tell, from the old woman rebuilding a community in Tokyo after a disaster, to the flawed Yakuza man who remembers a time when he was kind, and a strong child who is fighting to survive.Extraordinarily moving and wise, The Lantern of Lost Memories is a beautiful Japanese tale about the people that make us and the moments that change us.

This beautifully designed guide to Vietnamese home cooking and comfort food goes beyond restaurant fare to explore the vibrant, fresh flavors of a cuisine whose popularity is rising rapidly. Anne-Solenne Hatte presents the mouthwatering recipes for traditional Vietnamese home cooking collected by Bà, her maternal grandmother. This book is an homage to Vietnamese cuisine, with its emphasis on fresh ingredients, bright flavor combinations, zesty sauces, and reputation for healthfulness with vegetables and salads at center stage. These family recipes withstood the test of time—and exile. Staying true to her culinary heritage, Bà learned to work around unavailable items and adapt to new ingredients. These expertly detailed yet accessible recipes are intertwined with the story of Bà’s event-filled life and memories of home. After exploring the cuisine’s base recipes and “mother” sauces, the book explores dishes organized by region. Included are classic variations of pho, quick pickled vegetables, robust salads, grilled and stir-fried meats, and fusion dishes like trendy banh mi sandwiches.

Kniha - autor Burhan Sönmez, 200 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Hrdiny románu jsou čtyři vězni, namačkaní v úzké podzemní kobce ústřední istanbulské mučírny. V přestávkách mezi mučením si vyprávějí příběhy o Istanbulu, deset příběhů během deseti dní. Podobně jako hrdinové Dekameronu utíkají před epidemií moru, utíkají vězňové svými příběhy a sny před svým hrůzným osudem a vyplňují. Anekdotické příběhy často podle orientálních vzorů, vyúsťující v hádanky, se prolínají s neutěšenou skutečností podzemní mučírny. Zmučení vězňové se vžívají do reálných situací ve vnějším světě, což jim na okamžik umožňuje zapomenout na vlastní neblahý úděl.
