"A deliciously vicious - and timely - satire about the E.U. and the meaning of Europe today" - Frederick Studemann, Financial Times Brussels. A panorama of tragic heroes, manipulative losers, involuntary accomplices. No wonder the E.U. Commission is keen to improve its image. The Capital is a sharp satire, a crime story, a comedy of manner, a philosophical essay - the major European novel, published on the eve of Brexit, at its heart the most powerful pro-European message: no-one should forget the circumstances that gave rise to the European project in the first place.. As the fiftieth anniversary of the European Commission approaches, the Directorate-General for Culture is tasked with planning and organising a fitting celebration. The project will serve the wider purpose of revamping the Commission's image at a time of waning public support. When Fenia Xenopoulou's Austrian P.A. Martin Susman suggests putting Auschwitz at the centre of the jubilee, she is thrilled. But she has neglected to take the other E.U. institutions into account. Inspector Brunfaut is in a tricky situation too: his murder case has been suppressed at the highest level. Luckily, he's friends with the I.T. whizz at Brussels' Police H.Q., who gains access to secret files in the public prosecutor's office. Matek, the Polish hitman, knows nothing of this. But he does know that he shot the wrong guy, and for Matek, who would rather have become a priest, this is serious. And what about the pig farmers who take to the streets of the city to protest about existing trade restrictions blocking the export of pigs' ears to China . . .? (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A dazzling novel of one of America's most celebrated photographers, Dorothea Lange, exploring the wild years in San Francisco that awakened her career-defining grit, compassion, and daring. "Jasmin Darznik expertly delivers an intriguing glimpse into the woman behind those unforgettable photographs of the Great Depression, and their impact on humanity."--Susan Meissner, bestselling author of The Nature of Fragile Things In 1918, a young and bright-eyed Dorothea Lange steps off the train in San Francisco, where a disaster kick-starts a new life. Her friendship with Caroline Lee, a vivacious, straight-talking Chinese American with a complicated past, gives Dorothea entrée into Monkey Block, an artists' colony and the bohemian heart of the city. Dazzled by Caroline and her friends, Dorothea is catapulted into a heady new world of freedom, art, and politics. She also finds herself unexpectedly falling in love with the brilliant but troubled painter Maynard Dixon. Dorothea and Caroline eventually create a flourishing portrait studio, but a devastating betrayal pushes their friendship to the breaking point and alters the course of their lives. The Bohemians captures a glittering and gritty 1920s San Francisco, with a cast of unforgettable characters, including cameos from such legendary figures as Mabel Dodge Luhan, Frida Kahlo, Ansel Adams, and D. H. Lawrence. A vivid and absorbing portrait of the past, it is also eerily resonant with contemporary themes, as anti-immigration sentiment, corrupt politicians, and a devastating pandemic bring tumult to the city--and the gift of friendship and the possibility of self-invention persist against the ferocious pull of history. As Dorothea sheds her innocence, her purpose is awakened and she grows into the figure we know from history--the artist whose iconic Depression-era photographs like "Migrant Mother" broke the hearts and opened the eyes of a nation.

Stanley had known it was a mistake to accept his uncle Lech's offer to apartment-sit in Prague - he'd known it was one of Lech's proposals, a thinly veiled setup for some invasive, potentially dangerous performance art project. But whatever Lech had planned for Stanley, it would get him to Prague and maybe offer a chance to make things right with T after his failed attempt to propose.Stanley can take it. He can ignore their high jinks, resist being drafted into their evolving, darkening script. As the operation unfolds it becomes clear there's more to this performance than he expected; they know more about Stanley's state of mind than he knows himself. He may be able to step over chalk outlines in the hallway, may be able to turn away from the women acting as his mother and the men performing as his father, but when a man made up to look like Stanley begins to play out his most devastating memory, he won't be able to stand outside this imitation of his life any longer.Immediately and wholly immersive, Joseph Scapellato's debut novel, The Made-Up Man, is a hilarious examination of art's role in self-knowledge, a sinister send-up of self-deception, and a big-hearted investigation into the cast of characters necessary to help us finally meet ourselves.

Sophisticated, thought-provoking and pithy." --"Spectator" "Unmissable, combines extremes of comedy and seriousness, plus pathos, slapstick, sex and violence all stirred into one delicious brew." --"The Guardian" "In imaginative riches and sheer exhilaration it offers more than most books twice its size. At once tender and scatological, playful and sombre, moving and irresistibly funny." --"The Independent" on Sunday Praise for "I Served the King of England" "A joyful, picaresque story, which begins with Baron Munchausen-like adventures and ends in tears and solitude." -- James Wood, The "London Review of Books" "A comic novel of great inventiveness ... charming, wise, and sad--and an unexpectedly good laugh." "--The Philadelphia Inquirer" "An extraordinary and subtly tragicomic novel." --"The New York Times" ""Dancing Lessons" unfurls as a single, sometimes maddening sentence. The gambit works. Something about that slab of wordage carries the eye forward, promising an intensity simply unattainable by your regularly punctuated novel." --Ed Park, The New York Times Book Review (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Or die trying.And in those high mountains, a new warleader has risen amongst the Teblor. Scarred by the deeds of Karsa Orlong, he intends to confront his god even if he has to cut a bloody swathe through the Malazan Empire to do so.But further north, a new threat has emerged and now it seems it is the Teblor who are running out of time.

V současné době je šivejština jedinou ústní variantou mandžuštiny, která se ve skutečnosti užívá. S 20 000 až 30 000 mluvčích je také nejrozšířenějším mluveným tunguzským jazykem. Národ Šive, který žije na severozápadní hranici dnešního Sin-ťiangu, ujgurské autonomní provincie Číny, je tvořen potomky posádky mužů mandžuské armády z 18. století, kteří sem byli posláni poté, co byla oblast obsazena Mandžuy, kteří měli za úkol střežit nově zřízenou hranici mezi Mandžuskou říší a Ruskem. Jakožto vojáci cizí armády zůstali izolováni od domorodého tureckého a mongolského národa, což vyústilo v až zázračné zachování jazyka. V roce 1990, kdy ústní varianty mandžuštiny v historickém Mandžusku zanikly, nebo jsou nyní na pokraji vyhynutí, šivejština stále přežívá jako mluvený jazyk všech generací národa Šive v autonomním kraji Chapchal Sibe a jako jazyk střední a starší generace prakticky ve všech ostatních šivejských osadách Sin-ťiangu. Nyní, přestože je šivejsko-čínský bilingvismus velmi rozšířen, počet šivejsky mluvících, včetně mladých lidí, je stále ještě značně vysoký. Předkládaný popis gramatického fungování dvou hlavních slovních druhů - skloňování podstatných jmen a časování sloves - je dokumentován na příkladech a vzorových textech a poskytuje základní obecné informace o šivejštině a jejích mluvčích. Záměrem této práce je nabídnout čtenáři komplexnější obraz šivejštiny tak, jak je používána v současné době na svém historickém a kulturním území. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
