Slavná novela Oscara Wilda, která se dočkala několika divadelních, filmových a televizních adaptací, líčí boj ducha noblesního anglického šlechtice s neomalenou americkou rodinou, která se právě přistěhovala na zámek Canterville. Cantervillský zámek má vše, co byste od strašidelného anglického venkovského sídla čekali – stará zaprášená brnění, dřevem obložené stěny, v nichž se ukrývají tajné dveře, a mnoho dalších nástrah. Nadto jeho chodbami dosud bloudí duch sira Simona, bývalého majitele zámku, který návštěvníky straší chrastěním řetězů či krvavými skvrnami na podlaze. Noví obyvatelé sídla, americká rodina Otisových, se však kupodivu odmítají bát, což vede k mnoha komickým situacím. Ať už se sir Simon snaží rodinné příslušníky vyděsit sebevíc, jeho snaha přichází vniveč, když Otisovi nechají krev na podlaze vyčistit odstraňovačem skvrn a chrastící řetězy naolejují. A co víc – nebohý přízrak musí snášet kanadské žertíky ze strany malých dvojčat! Nakonec mu nezbývá než hledat útěchu v přátelství s Virginií, patnáctiletou dcerou manželů Otisových… Příběh, neobvykle vyprávěný z pohledu strašidla, a nikoli strašených, obsahuje pro Wilda typické morální poselství, které je však čtenářům podáno zábavně, vtipně a s nesmírnou lehkostí. Když duch dorazil do malé tajné komnaty v levém křídle, opřel se o měsíční paprsek, aby popadl dech, a pustil se do zhodnocení své situace. Nikdy za celou svou zářnou a nepřerušovanou třistaletou tradici nebyl tak hrubě napaden. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

With an Introduction and Notes by John M.L. Drew, University of Buckingham. Wilde's only novel, first published in 1890, is a brilliantly designed puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life, and consequence. From its provocative Preface, challenging the reader to believe in 'art for art's sake', to its sensational conclusion, the story self-consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an element of design. Yet Wilde himself underestimated the consequences of his experiment, and its capacity to outrage the Victorian establishment. Its words returned to haunt him in his court appearances in 1895, and he later recalled the 'note of doom' which runs like 'a purple thread' through its carefully crafted prose. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Immortalised by Audrey Hepburn's sparkling performance in the 1961 film of the same name, `Breakfast at Tiffany's` is Truman Capote's timeless portrait of tragicomic cultural icon Holly Golightly, published in `Penguin Modern Classics`. It's New York in the 1940s, where the martinis flow from cocktail hour till breakfast at Tiffany's. And nice girls don't, except, of course, for Holly Golightly: glittering socialite traveller, generally upwards, sometimes sideways and once in a while - down. Pursued by to Salvatore 'Sally' Tomato, the Mafia sugar-daddy doing life in Sing Sing and 'Rusty' Trawler, the blue-chinned, cuff-shooting millionaire man about women about town, Holly is a fragile eyeful of tawny hair and turned-up nose, a heart-breaker, a perplexer, a traveller, a tease. She is irrepressibly 'top banana in the shock deparment', and one of the shining flowers of American fiction. This edition also contains three stories: `House of Flowers`, `A Diamond Guitar` and `A Christmas Memory`. Truman Capote (1924-84) was born in New Orleans. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for The New Yorker, which provided his first - and last - regular job. He wrote both fiction and non-fiction - short stories, novels and novellas, travel writing, profiles, reportage, memoirs, plays and films; his other works include `In Cold Blood` (1965), `Music for Chameleons` (1980) and `Answered Prayers` (1986), all of which are published in `Penguin Modern Classics`. If you enjoyed `Breakfast at Tiffany's`, you might like Capote's `In Cold Blood`, also available in `Penguin Modern Classics`. `One of the twentieth century's most gorgeously romantic fictions.` (`Daily Telegraph`). `The most perfect writer of my generation...I would not have changed two words of `Breakfast at Tiffany's`.` (`Norman Mailer`).

Truman Capotes novella Breakfast at Tiffanys is set in New York City in the 1940s and draws the readers attention to a certain kind of female independence that was rather uncommon in the mid20th century. Holly, an independent girl, lives her life according to what she wants, paying little attention to what other people expect of her. As a young woman who financially sustains herself by spending time with wealthy men Holly faces constant criticism and disapproval of the way she lives. To protect her autonomy she is even willing to break the law and escape to a foreign country. Breakfast at Tiffanys is one of Truman Capotes most famous works, due in large part to the film adaptation of it, with Audrey Hepburn as Holiday Golightly, whose dark glasses and black dress soon became fashion icons. Novela Snídaně u Tiffanyho od Trumana Capoteho je dějově zasazena do New Yorku 40. let a obrací čtenářovu pozornost k určitému druhu ženské nezávislosti, jež byla v polovině 20. století poněkud neobvyklá. Nezávislá dívka Holly žije, jak sama chce, a pramálo se stará o to, co od ní očekávají druzí. Jako mladá žena, která se živí tím, že tráví čas s bohatými muži, čelí Holly neustálé kritice a odsuzování způsobu jejího života. Pro záchranu své samostatnosti je ochotná i porušit zákon a ukrýt se v cizí zemi. Snídaně u Tiffanyho je jedním z nejslavnějších děl Trumana Capoteho z velké části díky jeho filmové adaptaci s Audrey Hepburnovou v roli Holiday Golightlyové, jejíž tmavé brýle a černé šaty se brzy staly módní ikonou.

`An epic adventure story set against the most awful war in history.

Imprisoned in the Gulags for a crime he did not commit, Benya Golden joins a penal battalion made up of Cossacks and convicts to fight the Nazis. He enrols in the Russian cavalry, and on a hot summer day in July 1942, he and his band of brothers are sent on a desperate mission behind enemy lines. Switching between Benya's war in the grasslands of Southern Russia, and Stalin's plans in the Kremlin, between Benya's intense affair with an Italian nurse and a romance between Stalin's daughter and a journalist also on the Eastern Front, this is a sweeping story of passion, bravery and human survival where personal betrayal is a constant companion, and death just a heartbeat away.

A heartstopping, heartbreaking, technicolour epic. A grand homage to the Russian masters Babel & Grossman, echoes of Hemingway & Dostoevsky, and a propulsive delight that is entirely Montefiore's own. Gripping storytelling allied with intimate, unsqueamish knowledge of Russian history - a special combination.' - AD Miller, author of Snowdrops 'The gripping final instalment of the Moscow Trilogy tells of a man wrongly imprisoned in the Gulags and his fight for redemption. Love in dark times, meticulously researched... In this searing tale of love and war, most moving is the redemptive relationship between a soldier and a nurse that blooms amid the brutality.
