This was how things began: Boston on the cusp of fall, the Sackler Museum robbed of 23 pieces of priceless Chinese art. Even in this back room, dust catching the slant of golden, late-afternoon light, Will could hear the sirens. They sounded like a promise.Will Chen, a Chinese American art history student at Harvard, has spent most of his life learning about the West - its art, its culture, all that it has taken and called its own. He believes art belongs with its creators, so when a Chinese corporation offers him a (highly illegal) chance to reclaim five priceless sculptures, it's surprisingly easy to say yes.Will's crew, fellow students chosen out of his boundless optimism for their skills and loyalty, aren't exactly experienced criminals. Irene is a public policy major at Duke who can talk her way out of anything; Daniel is pre-med with steady hands and dreams of being a surgeon. Lily is an engineering student who races cars in her spare time; and Will is relying on Alex, an MIT dropout turned software engineer, to hack her way in and out of each museum they must rob.Each student has their own complicated relationship with China and the identities they've cultivated as Chinese Americans, but one thing soon becomes certain: they won't say no.Because if they succeed? They earn an unfathomable ten million each, and a chance to make history. If they fail, they lose everything . . . and the West wins again. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The undisputed pioneer of the horror, detective and science-fiction genres, Edgar Allan Poe was just as influential as a poet as he is now a celebrated writer of short stories. The present edition contains a large selection of his works in verse, from those he published during his lifetime - such as his famous ballads 'The Raven' and 'Lenore' - to those that were collected immediately after his premature death in 1849, including the ones he wrote in his youth.Also included in this volume is a selection of Poe's essays on poetical composition and prosody, revealing that poetry was at the core of the American master's vision of literature - something also demonstrated by the accomplished productions and enduring legacy he has left behind in this field.

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore.” With that undying line Edgar Allan Poe ensured his immortality in the annals of American letters. What student of literature or lover of poetry is not familiar with his poem "The Raven,” and the heartbreaking message implicit in its melancholy refrain? "The Raven” is by far Poe's best-known poem and it is one of more than forty to be found in The Raven and Other Poems, a volume that collects the best of Poe's exercises in verse. Here, readers are treated to such masterpieces as "Annabel Lee,” "The Haunted Palace,” "The Conqueror Worm,” "The City in the Sea,” "Lenore,” and many more. These poems are imbued with the somber seriousness that we associate with Poe's macabre fiction, but also with his marvelous appraisals of the mysteries of our and other worlds, and his fervent belief in undying love.

Poeova slavná báseň "The Raven" znovu vychází v překladu Tomáše Jacka (druhé vydání). V dosavadním úsilí českých umělců sahajících po tomto překladatelském grálu představuje Jackův mistrný převod naprosto zlomový bod. Je to totiž poprvé, co překladatel věnuje vyváženou pozornost veškerým aspektům původního textu Poeovy básně, aniž by některé nadměrně akcentoval, jiné zas deformoval či opomíjel. Postupuje přitom s matematickou důkladností, avšak rovněž s neobyčejným jazykovým citem. Pro Jacka-překladatele je maximální obsahová přesnost stejnou samozřejmostí jako zachování rytmického a rýmového schématu. Jacko-básník čtenářům ovšem zároveň dokonale zprostředkovává přirozený a mluvný jazyk originálu: živý jazyk oproštěný od plytkých přirovnání, metafor, slovosledných veletočů a laciných poetických příkras, zato však plný idiomů, repeticí a v neposlední řadě zvukomalebných prostředků. Z anglického textu navíc do textu českého pronikají i jemné záblesky Poeovy ironie a humoru, bez nichž by jinak tíživá nálada proslulé sychravé prosincové noci nebyla úplná. Konečně. Konečně k českému čtenáři "Krkavce" promlouvá nikoli snaživý překladatel, nýbrž ospalý, zmatený, vystrašený, mírně pobavený, velmi rozzlobený a nakonec zcela bezmocný vypravěč - ústřední postava Poeovy básně. V novém, graficky neotřele zpracovaném vydání se české veřejnosti dostává do rukou jedno z vrcholných děl moderního českého překladu. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
