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.

Through the Looking-Glass the sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were.Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Lewis Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere.The author reveals himself in glimpses.

Historický román Alias Grace je založen na skutečných událostech, vraždách Thomase Kinneara a Nancy Montgomeryové, z nichž byla obviněna mladičká služebná Grace Marksová a sluha James McDermott. Za mladou Grace, trpící ztrátou paměti, přijíždí do věznice po deseti letech mladý psychiatr Simon Jordan, aby se v ní pokusil vzkřísit pohřbené vzpomínky a zjistil, jestli zločin skutečně spáchala. Během dlouhých rozhovorů hledá cestu do její paměti skrz sny a dotazy na dětství strávené v Irsku, odkud se celá rodina přesunula do Kanady za lepším životem. Přes původně čistě profesionální zájem o Gracin případ se postupně zaplétá do jejího příběhu. Gracino vyprávění i Jordanovy životní peripetie se odehrávají v kulisách Kanady první poloviny 19. století. Propracovaný historický román patří mezi nejdůležitější a nejčtenější díla Margaret Atwoodové - v roce 2017 podle něj natočila společnost Netflix oceňovaný televizní seriál. "Alias Grace uhání kupředu tempem komerčního román a má sílu budoucí klasiky." - Washington Post Book World "Ať už je Grace z pera Margaret Atwoodové zloduška, nebo oběť, vždycky je to fascinující společnice." - People "V románu Alias Grace je všechno, co má fantastická knížka mít: napětí, tajemství, vzrušení a dokonale propracované historické prostředí." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Its lyricism, comedy (both broad and subtle) and magical transformations have long made A Midsummer Night's Dream one of the most popular of Shakespeare's works. The supernatural and the mundane, the illusory and the substantial, are all shimmeringly blended. Love is treated as tragic, poignant, absurd and farcical.'Lord, what fools these mortals be!', jeers Robin Goodfellow; but the joke may be on him and on his master Oberon when Bottom the weaver, his head transformed into that of an ass, is embraced by the voluptuously amorous Titania. Recent stage-productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream have emphasised the enchanting, spectacular, ambiguous and erotically joyous aspects of this magical drama which culminates in a multiple celebration of marriage.

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.

The collection of a lifetime from the bestselling novelist, poet -- and cultural phenomenonBefore she became one of the world's most important and loved novelists, Margaret Atwood was a poet. Dearly is her first collection in over a decade. It brings together many of her most recognisable and celebrated themes, but distilled -- from minutely perfect descriptions of the natural world to startlingly witty encounters with aliens, from pressing political issues to myth and legend.By turns moving, playful and wise, the poems gathered in Dearly are about absences and endings, ageing and retrospection, but also about gifts and renewals. They explore bodies and minds in flux, as well as the everyday objects and rituals that embed us in the present. Werewolves, sirens and dreams make their appearance, as do various forms of animal life and fragments of our damaged environment.Dearly is a pure Atwood delight, and long-term readers and new fans alike will treasure its insight, empathy and humour.

Kočičí oko je kouzelná skleněnka, která mění svět. Z dívky, která se skrze ni dívala, vyrostla uznávaná malířka, jejíž život i dílo silně poznamenaly zážitky z dětství a dospívání. Když se Elaine po letech vrací do rodného Toronta, je to pro ni zároveň cesta do hloubi vlastní paměti. Nejostřeji vystupují vzpomínky na Cordelii, nemilosrdnou a jindy nečekaně labilní vůdkyní skupiny dívek, která Elaine kdysi šikanovala. Román zasazený do Kanady druhé poloviny 20. století sahá od konce druhé světové války až do osmdesátých let a krom toho, že je brilantní sondou do dívčí psychiky a nevyzpytatelných a mnohdy krutých pravidel, jež ovládají přátelství mezi dívkami, nabízí také neotřelý pohled na řadu kulturních fenoménů té doby, včetně feminismu a různých proudů moderního umění. "Kočičí oko je naprosto nevšední a stojí za pozornost, je vtipné, ale právě tak i vážné, a překypuje zázračnou moudrostí."

Set in a Lower East Side tenement in the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns, Fourteen Days is an irresistibly propulsive collaborative novel from the Authors Guild, with an unusual twist: each character in this diverse, eccentric cast of New York neighbors has been secretly written by a different, major literary voice—from Margaret Atwood and Celeste Ng to Tommy Orange and John Grisham. One week into the COVID-19 shutdown, tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants—some of whom have barely spoken to each other—become real neighbors. In this Decameron-like serial novel, general editors Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldn’t escape when the pandemic hit. A dazzling, heartwarming, and ultimately surprising narrative, Fourteen Days reveals how beneath the horrible loss and suffering, some communities managed to become stronger.

Audiokniha: Musíme všichni táhnout za jeden provaz, nebo na něm budeme viset každý zvlášť. A co když ne? I patnáct let poté, co služebnice Fredova uprchla z Republiky Gileád, trvá na území Nové Anglie krutovláda založená na zotročení zdravých žen schopných rodit děti. Stav prohnilého režimu nám nyní střídavě přibližuje trojice mluvčích, jejichž postoje si nemohou být vzdálenější. Pravověrná teta Lydie coby spoluautorka gileádské ideologie se setkává s Ágnes z řad místních privilegovaných, která se vlivem pletich ocitla v jejím klášteře jako novicka. A k oběma zpoza hranic svobodné Kanady přistupuje rebelka Daisy, pátrající po nejasnostech ve svém rodokmenu. Trojhlas vypravěček postupně odkrývá netušené vazby i známou pravdu, že historie se zlomyslně rýmuje. I Češi kdysi na vlastní kůži poznali, že ani svět pokřivený totalitou nebývá černobílý a nepřežil by bez šedé zóny soukromých motivací. A že se především neobejde bez lásky, jež bude vždy silnější než smrt. Dlouho očekávané pokračování bestselleru Příběh služebnice. Kniha získala Bookerovu cenu za román roku 2019.

Audiokniha: OZNAČENÍ VRAŽEDKYNĚ JE CEJCH. ZATOČILO S NÍ PRÁVO NEPRÁVEM? Ve staré Kanadě se píše rok 1859 a původem irská služtička Grace Marksová sedí už šestnáctým rokem ve vězení za vraždu svého pána a jeho rozverné hospodyňky. Soud dospěl k přesvědčení, že Grace je oba ještě v dívčím věku zabila a až do zatčení se projevovala neobyčejně chladnokrevně. Protože jí obhájce ex offo poradil hrát nepříčetnou, unikla šibenici a vyvázla „pouze“ s doživotním trestem, byť možná žádný zločin nespáchala. Kdo je tu oběť? To hodlá na popud dobročinného spolku vypátrat zapálený příznivce rodícího se oboru psychiatrie dr. Simon Jordan, který začal za odsouzenou docházet, aby ji přiměl mluvit – pochopitelně za nejpřísnějších viktoriánských opatření. Zrcadlo nastavené dávnému kanadskému justičnímu dramatu nám zásluhou autorky světové extratřídy umožní zjistit leccos o odsouzené, o době, o sobě i o povaze lidské pravdy. Jsme přece vždy a všude „tím, co si pamatujeme, ale i tím, co zapomínáme“. Podle románu natočila společnost Netflix v roce 2017 oceňovaný televizní seriál se Sarah Gadonovou (Nebezpečná metoda, Cosmopolis, Rozhořčení) a Annou Paquinovou (Piano, X-Men, True Blood) v hlavních rolích. „Vynikající. Autorčin pronikavý text je natolik důvěrný, jako by byl psaný na tělo.“ – Hilary Mantelová, Literary Review.

Země se potýká s ekologickými katastrofami a ztrátou lidské plodnosti, takže ženy, které ještě mohou mít děti, jsou jako „služebnice“ nuceny k sexuálnímu otroctví v rodinách velitelů, aby s nimi zplodily potomky místo neplodných chotí.

eBook: Největší žijící kanadská spisovatelka s živelností sobě vlastní přetváří zápletku Shakespearovy tvůrčí závěti BOUŘE (1611) tak, aby v duchu alžbětinského barda poukázala nejen na křivdy a mříže, které nás uvnitř vězní, ale i na svátost odpuštění. Věhlasný divadelník Felix byl intrikány vyštípán ze svého postu, což pro něj znamená další katastrofu. Přesto nezahálí a podobně jako mág Prospero spřádá pomstu. V kuriózním divadelním kroužku, kde se mu coby nástroj zúčtování nabídne směska zločinců bažících po vzruchu, zinscenuje představení, jímž soky zasáhne na nejcitlivějším místě. V mistrovském provedení Margaret Atwoodové se ambiciózní námět divadla v kriminále hladce mění v grotesku, v níž místy mrazí a místy tajeme úlevou nad tím, že svět nepřestal být jevištěm a my na něm pouhými herci.

COPYCAT? OR REVENGE? They have never seen a murder like it. A talented tattoo artist is using poison instead of ink. His victim is a young woman. And on her skin he's left a message: 'the second'. Drafted in to investigate, NYPD detective Lincoln Rhyme and his associate Amelia Sachs find the scene has been scrubbed of evidence. All except for one trace - a scrap of paper that connects this case with one they will never forget. And like the Bone Collector before him, Rhyme and Sachs find themselves pitted against a twisted serial killer choosing his victims seemingly at random, a perpetrator who plans his work to the last detail, in a deadly contest with any who try to stop him. But how close is his connection with that old case? What is the meaning of the words tattooed in poison on the skin of his first victim? And where will he strike next?

Nejnovější povídkovou tvorbu oceňované kanadské autorky rámují reflexe šťastného soužití a proměny času po ztrátě nejbližší bytosti. Nejen věnování zesnulému Graemu Gibsonovi, s nímž spisovatelka sdílela téměř padesát let, zájmy i příznačný smysl pro humor, ale především láskyplnost a bolest napovídají, že jde o text silně, byť nepřiznaně autobiografický. Margaret Atwoodová dnešních dní alias Nell vzpomíná na ztřeštěnosti podzimu života, toulky milovanou přírodou či na snahu zvěčnit kocoura v přebásnění Tennysona. Probírá se tchánovou pozůstalostí a vlivem války na lidskou psychiku. Zakopává o věci, které nám zůstávají po tom, kdo vlastně nikdy tak docela neodešel. A dál píše. O matce, jež neodpovídá společenským představám, o mimozemském stvoření, které za pandemie baví lidstvo v karanténě absurditou našich dávných příběhů, o převtělení šneka do bankovní operátorky. Rozmlouvá s Orwellem nebo glosuje historii očima umučené antické filozofky. A je přitom břitká a neodolatelná jako vždycky.
