Seven days to the funeral - ján rozner

Autofikční román z temného období po sovětské invazi v roce 1968 nastoluje otázky o individuální a společenské paměti, traumatu a vině. Autor a jeho žena Zora Jesenská byli významnými osobnostmi slovenského kulturního života a jako tváře uvolnění 60. let byli posrpnovým režimem ostrakizováni. Pohřeb Z. Jesenské v roce 1972 se stal politickou událostí a jeho účastníci čelili exemplárním perzekucím. Kniha je detailním popisem týdne po manželčině smrti a historickým záznamem o ničivých dopadech začátku normalizace. Rozner píše s krutou upřímností nejen o sobě, svých emocích a zkušenostech z minulosti, ale i o klíčových osobnostech slovenského veřejného života. Zároveň vypráví dojemný milostný příběh nepravděpodobného páru. Kniha byla poprvé vydána až několik let po autorově smrti, v roce 2009, a vyvolala na Slovensku vlnu diskuzí. Anglický překlad je doprovozen doslovem I. Taranenkové a osobní překladatelskou poznámkou/vzpomínkou J. Sherwood. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Rozprávanie Jána Roznera, založené na zážitkoch z niekoľkých návštev hradu Devín. Spočiatku to boli výlety loďou s matkou a bratom kvôli zdravotným problémom. Potom sa tam dostal v dramatických rokoch nástupu fašizmu, keď sa bratislavskí Nemci schádzali na Devíne na politických manifestáciách. Napokon v povojnovom období, keď sa na Devíne konali všeslovanské slávnosti s patričnými politickými prejavmi a vystúpeniami sovietskych súborov. Devín bol pre Roznera symbol dejinných zvratov a politických manipulácií s ľudským vedomím pri radikálne sa meniacich režimoch. Tomu poslednému uveril aj on sám, kým sa nepresvedčil, že prax protirečí pôvodným ideám. Roznerove návraty do minulosti, na ktorú sa pozerá pohľadom účastníka a intelektuála, majú charakter autentického svedectva o dobe valcujúcej v jednotlivých vlnách ľudské osudy. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Vzpomínková próza překladatele a publicisty Jána Roznera vyšla na Slovensku v roce 2009 a hned se stala slovenskou Knihou roku. Formálním rámcem jsou vzpomínky na události v době od smrti do pohřbu jeho ženy Zory Jesenské roku 1972. Oba, Rozner i Jesenská, patřili po roce 1968 k zakázaným autorům. Husákovský režim se pohřbu Jesenské obával a uchýlil se k masivnímu zastrašování lidí i absurdním praktikám. Záběr je však širší, kniha s charakterem románu je autentickou zprávou o lidech, událostech a poměrech dané doby, o kulturních, společenských a politických poměrech na Slovensku na počátku normalizace.

There are certain things that are best left unsaid. Though tragedy had touched the life of the wealthy Richard Abernethie, his sudden death seemed pretty unremarkable for a man of his age.

When she is savagely killed with a hatchet the next day, her extraordinary remark suddenly takes on a chilling significance.

How does a plane move through the air? What is turbulence? What do those lines on the runways mean? All these questions and many more are answered in this gorgeously illustrated history of planes and flight. The book opens with a basic introduction to plane anatomy and shows how aircrafts have developed over the ages. Readers will then learn about aerodynamics, the mechanics of wing shape and lift, and how ailerons, propellers, and flaps work. There's even a section on communications systems, runway design, and GPS. Profiles of famous historic planes illustrate basic principles throughout the book. Readers will find out about record-breaking flights across continents and oceans; how "flying wings" evolved into the B-2 bomber; and where the world's most treacherous runways are located. A section on experimental aircraft looks at zeppelins, flying cars, and the fate of the Concorde jet. Jan Van Der Veken's lushly colored, retro drawings detail everything from plane design to the physics of flight and provide the perfect companion to his engaging text. Budding aviators will linger over every detail of this information-packed book that serves both to demystify and celebrate the miracle of flight. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Kniha - autor Virginia Woolf, 208 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Every summer, the Ramsays visit their summer home on the beautiful Isle of Skye, surrounded by the excitement and chatter of family and friends, mirroring Virginia Woolf’s own joyful holidays of her youth. But as time passes, and in its wake the First World War, the transience of life becomes ever more apparent through the vignette of the thoughts and observations of the novel’s disparate cast. A landmark of high modernism and the most autobiographical of Virginia Woolf’s novels, To the Lighthouse explores themes of loss, class structure and the question of perception, in a hauntingly beautiful memorial to the lost but not forgotten. Chosen by TIME magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present. (alza.cz)

A major literary event: Mencken’s dazzling autobiography, with 200 pages of his own never-before-published commentary and photos. In 1936, at the age of fifty-five, H. L. Mencken published a reminiscence about his boyhood in The New Yorker, beginning a long and magnificent adventure in autobiography by America’s greatest journalist. Mencken went on to gather his childhood recollections in Happy Days (1940), a richly detailed, poignant account of growing up in Baltimore. A critical and popular success, the book surprised many with its glimpses of a less curmudgeonly Mencken, and there soon followed the absorbing sequels Newspaper Days (1941), charting his rise at the Baltimore Herald from cub reporter to editor, and Heathen Days (1943), recounting his varied excursions as journalist and public figure, including his coverage of the Scopes trial in 1925. But unknown to the legions of Days books’ admirers, Mencken continued to add to them after publication, annotating and expanding each volume in typescripts sealed to the public for twenty-five years after his death. Until now, most of this material—often more frank and unvarnished than the original Days books—has never been published. Containing nearly 200 pages of previously unseen writing, and illustrated with photographs from Mencken’s archives, many taken by Mencken himself, this expanded and definitive edition of the Days trilogy is a cause for celebration.LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

Whether they be the outlandish leaps predicted in the 1920s, like multi-purpose utility belts with climate control capabilities and planes the size of luxury cruise ships, or the forecasts of the '60s, which didn't anticipate the sexual revolution or women's liberation, the path to the present is littered with failed predictions and incorrect estimations.The best we can do is try to absorb from futurism's checkered past, perhaps learning to do a little better.In The Skeptics' Guide To The Future, Steven Novella and his co-authors build upon the work of futurists of the past by examining what they got right, what they got wrong, and how they came to those conclusions. By exploring the pitfalls of each era, they give their own speculations about the distant future, transformed by unbelievable technology ranging from genetic manipulation to artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

Margaret Atwood's dystopian masterpiece, The Handmaid's Tale, has become a modern classic-and now she brings the iconic story to a dramatic conclusion in this riveting sequel. More than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results. Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third voice: a woman who wields power through the ruthless accumulation and deployment of secrets. As Atwood unfolds The Testaments, she opens up the innermost workings of Gilead as each woman is forced to come to terms with who she is, and how far she will go for what she believes.

From the internationally bestselling author of THE SNOW CHILD comes an extraordinary story of discovery, adventure, and a husband and wife tested by the different paths their society expects them to tread. Set in the Alaskan landscape that she brought to stunningly vivid life in THE SNOW CHILD (a Sunday Times bestseller, Richard and Judy pick and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize), Eowyn Ivey's TO THE BRIGHT EDGE OF THE WORLD is a breathtaking story of discovery set at the end of the nineteenth century, sure to appeal to fans of A PLACE CALLED WINTER. Lieutenant Colonel Allen Forrester receives the commission of a lifetime when he is charged to navigate Alaska's hitherto impassable Wolverine River, with only a small group of men.

Forrester leaves behind his young wife, Sophie, newly pregnant with the child he had never expected to have. Adventurous in spirit, Sophie does not relish the prospect of a year in a military barracks while her husband carves a path through the wilderness. What she does not anticipate is that their year apart will demand every ounce of courage and fortitude of her that it does of her husband. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Journey to the Centre of the Earth has been consistently praised for its style and its vision of the world. It explores the prehistory of the globe, but can also be read as a psychological quest, for the journey itself is as important as arrival or discovery. Professor Lidenbrock and his nephew Axel travel across Iceland, and then down through an extinct crater towards a sunless sea where they enter a living past and are confronted with the origins of man. A classic of nineteenth-century French literature, the novel's distinctive combination of realism and Romanticism has marked figures as diverse as Sartre and Tournier, Mark Twain and Conan Doyle. This new translation of the complete text is faithful to the lyricism, verve, and humour of the original. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Margaret Atwood's dystopian masterpiece, The Handmaid's Tale, has become a modern classic-and now she brings the iconic story to a dramatic conclusion in this riveting sequel. More than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results. Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third voice: a woman who wields power through the ruthless accumulation and deployment of secrets. As Atwood unfolds The Testaments, she opens up the innermost workings of Gilead as each woman is forced to come to terms with who she is, and how far she will go for what she believes.
