But as the days turn into weeks, it is clear that Neffy will have to make a choice.How do you choose between a past that has already disappeared forever, and a future you can't begin to imagine?

Svět za Velkým předělem se propadl do nicoty i se všemi jeho obyvateli. Zůstali jen dva z nich - osmiletá Peggy a její podivínský otec. V rozpadlé chatce uprostřed hlubokých lesů se učí přežít z darů přírody, a hlavně se sebou navzájem. Pak se ale jednoho dne z lesa vynoří tajemný vousáč Reuben a Peggy začne poznávat, že všechno je možná docela jinak, než jak jí otec vtloukal do hlavy. Co když žádný konec světa nenastal? Co když její rodný dům v Londýně ještě stojí a matka v něm stále čeká na její návrat? Nekonečné dny je strhující příběh o temných stránkách člověka, ale i o krásách přírody, naději a přátelství.

When you live on the edge of society, it only takes one step to fall between the cracks Twins Jeanie and Julius have always been different from other people. At 51 years old, they still live with their mother, Dot, in rural isolation and poverty. Inside the walls of their old cottage they make music, and in the garden they grow (and sometimes kill) everything they need for sustenance. But when Dot dies suddenly, threats to their livelihood start raining down. Jeanie and Julius would do anything to preserve their small sanctuary against the perils of the outside world, even as their mother's secrets begin to unravel, putting everything they thought they knew about their lives at stake. Unsettled Ground is a powerful novel of betrayal and resilience, love and survival. It is a portrait of life on the fringes of society that explores with dazzling emotional power how we can build our lives on broken foundations, and spin light from darkness. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

We hear the stories of a grateful humpback whale, of a hedgehog who has nightmares, and of a magpie who commits adultery; we meet bees that plan for the future, pigs who learn their own names and crows that go tobogganing for fun.

This publication has several modest goals: We shall describe how we conceptualised religious memory for the purposes of qualitative and quantitative survey research, and we shall explain how we operationalised religious communicative and cultural memory and why we believe that the questionnaire we designed and present here can also be applied in other contexts outside Czech society. Given the volume of data we obtained, we want to present at least a portion of our results and show what types of findings were achieved through our conceptualisation and operationalisation of religious memory. Finally, we want to present non-Czech-speaking readers with a comprehensive work describing changes in religiosity in Czech society, in this case from the perspective of memory studies. In other words, we want to offer an international audience a piece of work broader than just a journal article focusing on the study of religion in the Czech Republic. (patro.cz)

Amid great hardship he decides to escape. The arrival of Independence brings new upheavals as well as the betrayal of the promise of freedom. The new government, fearful of an exodus of its most able men, discourages young people from travelling abroad and refuses to release examination results. Deprived of a scholarship, Hassan travels to Nairobi to stay with a wealthy uncle, in the hope that he will release his mother's rightful share of the family inheritance. The collision of past secrets and future hopes, the compound of fear and frustration, beauty and brutality, create a fierce tale of undeniable power. Review [A] captivating storyteller, with a voice both lyrical and mordant, and an oeuvre haunted by memory and loss. His intricate novels of arrival and departure . reveal, with flashes of acerbic humour, the lingering ties that bind continents, and how competing versions of history collide - Guardian Gurnah is a master storyteller -- Aminatta Forna -Financial Times Gurnah writes with wonderful insight about family relationships and he folds in the layers of history with elegance and warmth- The Times Exile has given Gurnah a perspective on the "balance between things" that is astonishing, superb- Observer Gurnah etches with biting incisiveness the experiences of immigrants exposed to contempt, hostility or patronising indifference on their arrival in Britain- Spectator (knihydobrovsky.cz)
