When god was a rabbit - sarah winmannová

1968. The year Paris takes to the streets. The year Martin Luther King loses his life for a dream. The year Eleanor Maud Portman is born. Young Elly's world is shaped by those who inhabit it: her loving but maddeningly distractible parents; a best friend who smells of chips and knows exotic words like 'slag'; an ageing fop who tapdances his way into her home, a Shirley Bassey impersonator who trails close behind; lastly, of course, a rabbit called God. In a childhood peppered with moments both ordinary and extraordinary, Elly's one constant is her brother Joe. Twenty years on, Elly and Joe are fully grown and as close as they ever were. Until, that is, one bright morning when a single, earth-shattering event threatens to destroy their bond forever. Spanning four decades and moving between suburban Essex, the wild coast of Cornwall and the streets of New York, this is a story about childhood, eccentricity, the darker side of love and sex, the pull and power of family ties, loss and life. More than anything, it's a story about love in all its forms. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

For Michael Stirling, London's most infamous bachelor, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing.Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere thirty-six hours longer - the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin . . .

A tale of passion and romance between a Japanese schoolteacher and a doglike man, from the prize-winning author of The Last Children of TokyoMitsuko, a schoolteacher at the Kitamura school, inspires both rumour and curiosity in the parents of her students because of her unconventional manner - not least when she tells the children the fable of a princess whose hand in marriage is promised to a dog she is intimate with. And when a young man with sharp canine teeth turns up at the schoolteacher's home and declares he's 'here to stay', the romantic - and sexual - relationship that develops intrigues the community, some of whom have suspicions about the man's identity and motives. Masterfully turning the rules of folklore and fable on their head, The Bridegroom Was a Dog is a disarming and unforgettable modern classic. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Like B. Proudew, this work is an idiosyncratic autobiography woven into a collective memory of 1980s ?timelessness?, to quote V?clav Havel. In spite of the vetting obstacles placed in her way by the authorities, Helena Sou?kov? has succeeded in getting to grammar school. And although the cards fate deals her are difficult to play, she battles gamely to reach an understanding of her inner world and the world of hypocrisy around her.This coming-of- age novel gradually pieces together a mosaic of the era of deep normalization under President Hus?k, when most citizens of Communist Czechoslovakia did not even dare to think that the downfall of the system was within reach. Its atmosphere of all-pervading absurdity, apathy and bleakness stands in strong contrast to the author?s resourceful humour, which turns out to be one way to deal with a regime and an age of obtusity, indeed obtusity in general. The larger themes of the novel include human liberty, personal responsibility for one?s own behaviour and the quest for moral boundaries, both with regard to the family and the political set-up: totally timeless topics.

Představujeme vám novinku z unikátní řady slovníků Lingea, které se zaměřují na hovorový jazyk a slang, zejména mladé generace. Naším cílem bylo vytvořit zcela aktuální slovník, v němž najdete běžné hovorové a slangové výrazy z dnešní němčiny. Dnešní dynamická doba se odráží i v tom, jak mluvíme. V hovorové vrstvě jazyka se změny projevují nejdříve a němčina není výjimkou. Většina překladových slovníků tento vývoj nestačí zachycovat. Poměrně často se proto stává, že v nich uživatel nenajde překlady slov, na která běžně narazí při komunikaci na ulici, ve škole nebo na internetu, při sledování filmu a televize nebo při poslechu moderní hudby. Český uživatel je pak často odkázán pouze na kontext, z něhož má vyrozumět význam příslušného slova. A to je někdy úkol velice náročný. Němčina je navíc specifická velkým množstvím dialektů, proto ani její hovorová podoba není jednotná. Každý kraj má svoje osobité způsoby vyjádření - slovní zásobu, způsoby krácení slov, předložkové vazby a podobně. Při tvorbě slovníku jsme čerpali nejen z uznávaných výkladových slovníků hovorové němčiny a slangu mladých, ale také z mnoha internetových zdrojů. České ekvivalenty i překlady německých obratů a příkladů jsou voleny tak, aby co nejlépe stylově vystihovaly německé výrazy. Vzhledem k zaměření slovníku sem patří i slova, která se ve slušné společnosti nevyslovují a se spisovnou češtinou toho nemají moc společného. Součástí slovníku je seznam zkratek, které se běžně používají v SMS zprávách nebo na chatu. Věříme, že vám tento slovník usnadní komunikaci jak v reálném, tak virtuálním světě a pomůže rozšířit obzory při studiu jazyka našich sousedů. Obsah: 10 000 aktuálních slangových a hovorových výrazů slangové a hovorové idiomy s příklady a českými překlady přehled zkratek užívaných na internetu, v e-mailech a SMS zprávách (knihydobrovsky.cz)

1941: In Communist-ruled, war-ravaged Estonia, two men are fleeing from the Red Army - Roland, a fiercely principled freedom fighter, and his slippery cousin Edgar. When the Germans arrive, Roland goes into hiding; Edgar abandons his unhappy wife, Juudit, and takes on a new identity as a loyal supporter of the Nazi regime...1963: Estonia is again under Communist control, independence even further out of reach behind the Iron Curtain. Edgar is now a Soviet apparatchik, desperate to hide the secrets of his past life and stay close to those in power. But his fate remains entangled with Roland's, and with Juudit, who may hold the key to uncovering the truth...In a masterfully told story that moves between the tumult of these two brutally repressive eras - a story of surveillance, deception, passion, and betrayal - Sofi Oksanen brings to life both the frailty, and the resilience, of humanity under the shadow of tyranny.Sofi Oksanen is a Finnish-Estonian novelist and playwright. Purge was her first novel to appear in English. She has received numerous prizes for her work, including the Swedish Academy Nordic Prize, the Prix Femina, the Budapest Grand Prize, the European Book Prize, and the Nordic Council Literature Prize.

At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient struggling to live.

The maze of human memory--the ways in which we accommodate and alter it, deceive and deliver ourselves with it--is territory that Kazuo Ishiguro has made his own. In his previous novels, he has explored this inner world and its manifestations in the lives of his characters with rare inventiveness and subtlety, shrewd humor and insight. In When We Were Orphans, his first novel in five years, he returns to this terrain in a brilliantly realized story that illuminates the power of one's past to determine the present.Christopher Banks, an English boy born in early-twentieth-century Shanghai, is orphaned at age nine when his mother and father both vanish under suspicious circumstances. Sent to live in England, he grows up to become a renowned detective and, more than twenty years later, returns to Shanghai, where the Sino-Japanese War is raging, to solve the mystery of the disappearances.The story is straightforward. Its telling is remarkable. Christopher's voice is controlled, detailed, and detached, its precision unsurprising in someone who has devoted his life to the examination of details and the rigors of objective thought. But within the layers of his narrative is slowly revealed what he can't, or won't, see: that his memory, despite what he wants to believe, is not unaffected by his childhood tragedies; that his powers of perception, the heralded clarity of his vision, can be blinding as well as enlightening; and that the simplest desires--a child's for his parents, a man's for understanding--may give rise to the most complicated truths.A masterful combination of narrative control and soaring imagination, When We Were Orphans is Kazuo Ishiguro at his best.

One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient struggling to live.

Theatres have a certain kind of magic. When the curtain rises, we are all enraptured by the glare of the lights and the smell of the greasepaint but it's when the curtain falls that the real drama begins . . . In 1952 two young lovers meet, in secret, at the beautiful Southern Cross theatre in the very heart of London's West End. Their relationship is made up of clandestine meetings and stolen moments because there is someone who will make them suffer if he discovers she is no longer 'his'. But life in the theatre doesn't always go according to plan and tragedy and heartache are waiting in the wings for all the players . . . Almost seventy years later, a new production of When the Curtain Falls arrives at the theatre, bringing with it Oscar Bright and Olive Green and their budding romance. Very soon, though, strange things begin to happen and they learn about the ghost that's haunted the theatre since 1952, a ghost who can only be seen on one night of the year. Except the ghost is appearing more often and seems hell bent on sabotaging Oscar and Olive. The young couple realise they need to right that wrong from years gone by, but can they save themselves before history repeats itself and tragedy strikes once more? (knihydobrovsky.cz)
