Books and Libraries Everyman

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A remarkably diverse treasury of literary celebrations, Books and Libraries is sure to take pride of place on the shelves of the book-obsessed. Books have long captured the imagination of readers everywhere, commanding their love, earning their veneration. For Emily Dickinson they are frigates that 'take us Lands away'; for Wordsworth they are 'a substantial world, both pure and good'; Alberto Rios calls them 'the deli offerings of civilization itself'. This affection extends to the hallowed gathering places of the written word: libraries where one can best hear "a choir of authors murmuring inside their books," as Billy Collins has it; bookshops, especially second-hand ones, 'too small for the worlds they hold, where words that sing you to sleep, stories that stalk your dreams, open like windows in a wall' (Gillian Clarke). The poets collected here include Catullus, Horace, T'ao Ch'ien, Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Ronsard, Lope de Vega, Shakespeare, Marvell, Blake, Pope and Keats; more recent luminaries include Brecht, Cavafy, Gabriela Mistral, Dylan Thomas, Iku Takenaka, Pablo Neruda, Wislawa Szymborska, Anne Stevenson, Maya Angelou, Derek Walcott, John Burnside and Ian McMillan.

Who Killed John Lennon? John Blake Publishing Ltd

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Late on 8 December 1980, the world stopped turning for millions when news broke that its best-loved rock star had been gunned down in cold blood in New York City. But who, or what, really killed him? And when did the 'real' John Lennon die?Peeling back the layers, acclaimed music biographer and journalist Lesley-Ann Jones tracks the highs and lows that led Lennon to relocate to New York, where he was shot dead on the street outside his apartment building that fateful winter night. Using fresh first-hand research, unseen images and exclusive interviews with those who knew Lennon best, the author's search for answers in this enthralling exploration offers a gripping, 360-degree view of one of our most iconic music legends, four decades on from his tragic death.There have been countless books about the Beatles and John Lennon. There has never been one quite like this.

Philip Roth Vintage Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

'Superlative... definitive and genuinely gripping' SUNDAY TIMES'Utterly engrossing' EVENING STANDARD'Compulsively readable... Beautifully written...Definitive' OBSERVER Appointed by Philip Roth and granted complete access and independence, Blake Bailey spent years poring over Roth's personal archive, interviewing his friends, lovers, and colleagues, and engaging Roth himself in breathtakingly candid conversations. The result is an indelible portrait of an American master and of the post-war literary scene. Bailey shows how Roth emerged from a lower-middle-class Jewish milieu to achieve the heights of literary fame, how his career was nearly derailed by his catastrophic first marriage, and how he championed the work of dissident novelists behind the Iron Curtain.Bailey examines Roth's rivalrous friendships with Saul Bellow, John Updike and William Styron, and reveals the truths of his florid love life, culminating in his almost-twenty-year relationship with actress Claire Bloom, who pilloried Roth in her 1996 memoir, Leaving a Doll's House. Tracing Roth's path from realism to farce to metafiction to the tragic masterpieces of the American Trilogy, Bailey explores Roth's engagement with nearly every aspect of post-war American culture. *A 'BOOKS OF 2021' PICK IN THE OBSERVER, GUARDIAN, FINANCIAL TIMES, SUNDAY TIMES, EVENING STANDARD AND NEW STATESMAN*

On the Bright Side Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

85-year-old Hendrik Groen is fed up to his false teeth with coffee mornings and bingo.He dreams of escaping the confines of his care home and practicing hairpin turns on his mobility scooter. Inspired by his fellow members of the recently formed Old-But-Not-Dead Club, he vows to put down his Custard Cream and commit to a spot of octogenarian anarchy.But the care home's Director will not stand for drunken bar crawls, illicit fireworks and geriatric romance on her watch. The Old-But-Not-Dead Club must stick together if they're not to go gently into that good night. Things turn more serious, however, when rumours surface that the home is set for demolition. It's up to Hendrik and the gang to stop it - or drop dead trying . . .He may be the wrong side of 85, but Hendrik Groen has no intention of slowing up - or going down without a fight.Praise for Hendrik Groen'A story with a great deal of heart, it pulled me in with its self-deprecating humour, finely drawn characters and important themes. Anyone who hopes to grow old with dignity will have much to reflect on' Graeme Simsion'There are many laughs in this book but it's so much more than just a comedy. It's a story about how friendship, selflessness and dignity lie at the heart of the human experience. When I'm an old man, I want to be Hendrik Groen' John Boyne'A funny but also touching diary praised for its wit and realism' BBC Radio 4 Front Row'I laughed until I cried and then laughed and cried some more' David Suchet'Thoughtful, anxious and gruff... Laced with humour' The Best New Fiction Mail on Sunday'Amusing [and] wickedly accurate ... I was constantly put in mind of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, another comi-tragedy concerning the tyranny of institutions of the unwanted. Enjoy Groen's light touch but do not be fooled by it. We live in an ageing society. The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen is a handbook of resistance for our time' FIVE STARS Sunday Express'Highly entertaining ... a delightful and touching saga of one man's way of coping with old age ... we may assume that Hendrik Groen is a character of fiction. But it is a fiction so closely based on the observation of real life that it is utterly convincing' Daily Express'A joy to read, as much concerned with friendship and dignity as it is with the debilitating effects of aging ... An entertaining and uplifting story of a man in the winter of his days, stoic in the face of bureaucratic nonsense and an unabashed need to wear a nappy. Imagined or not, this is the diary of someone who wants nothing more than to be allowed see out his days with dignity and respect. It's not too much to ask, really, is it?' John Boyne Irish Times'Full of off-beat charm and quirky characters' Cathy Rentzenbrink, Stylist'Hendrik pens an exposé of his care home, sets up the Old-But-Not-Dead club and relishes the arrival of a new female resident.

Rok Potopu Prószyński i S-ka

Powieść zagranicznaScience-fiction

Czasy i gatunki błyskawicznie się zmieniają, zgoda społeczna chyli się ku upadkowi, równowaga ekologiczna ulega zachwianiu. Adam Pierwszy, dobrotliwy przywódca Bożych Ogrodników ? sekty religijnej dążącej do połączenia nauki z religią oraz ocalenia światowej flory i fauny ? od dawna przepowiada nadejście katastrofy, która odmieni Ziemię nie do poznania. I oto spełnia się jego przepowiednia. Ginie prawie cała ludzkość. Z życiem uchodzą dwie kobiety: Ren, młoda tancerka trapezowa zamknięta w ekskluzywnym klubie ze striptizem, i Toby, Boża Ogrodniczka zabarykadowana w luksusowym spa, w którym wiele produktów kosmetycznych jest jadalnych. Czy przeżył ktoś jeszcze? Przyjaciółka Ren, bioartystka Amanda? Ekowojownik Zeb, jej ojczym? Dawny kochanek Ren, Jimmy? A może krwiożerczy paintbólowcy? Nie wspominając o KorpuSOKorpie, tajemniczej, skorumpowanej służbie bezpieczeństwa strzegącej interesów władzy? W czasie gdy Adam Pierwszy i jego zwolennicy przemierzają zmieniony świat, Ren i Toby szukają z niego ucieczki, co prowadzi do niespodziewanego, poruszającego zakończenia powieści. ?Rok Potopu? to powieść mroczna, subtelna, brutalna, dająca do myślenia i pełna posępnego humoru. Margaret Atwood w najwyższej formie.?Rok Potopu? to książka pasjonująca, na czasie. Atwood kreuje w pełni wiarygodny futurystyczny świat, w którym to przede wszystkim ludzie są zwierzętami. Susan Kelly, ?USA Today?Margaret Atwood ma nadzwyczajny dar proroczy? z pietyzmem konstruuje dystopijny świat, ilustrowany czternastoma hymnami w stylu Blake?a, tylko o kilka kroków oddalony od naszego własnego. ?Vogue?Jedna z moich ulubionych książek w tym roku? Atwood jest geniuszem, a ta powieść zawiera w sobie nieprzebrane skarby. Jamie Byng, list do AmazonaNowy Nieznany Świat. Atwood wspaniale opowiada na nowo historię znaną z ?Oryks i Derkacza?, ustami innych postaci i skupiając się na innych szczegółach. ?The New York Times?Przewrotna, trzymająca w napięciu i mądra powieść dystopijna Atwood z głęboką troską i sowizdrzalskim humorem ukazuje tragedię, do jakiej doprowadzić mogą współczesne zaniedbania w ochronie środowiska. Donna Seaman, Booklist Odważna powieść, pełna pomysłów i wymysłów, ogólnie bardziej optymistyczna od ?Oryks i Derkacza?. ?Publishers Weekly? ?Rok Potopu? ? powieść o wartkiej fabule thrillera [?] przepojona ironią [Atwood], jej darem do wymyślania nazw i zabawy słowami, oraz zjadliwą, osadzoną w realizmie inwencją. ?The Times?Jedna z najważniejszych współczesnych pisarek. ?Guardian?Jest zaangażowaną, pełną pomysłów powieściopisarką, ale i poetką z obsesją na punkcie języka i jego magicznych mocy. Elaine Showalter, ?London Review of Books? W jej dynamicznej, suchej, a zarazem pełnej namiętności prozie nie ma chyba ani jednego zdania, które nie pełniłoby ważnej funkcji, nie dokładałoby kolejnego elementu do obrazu, który rozrasta się do ogromnych rozmiarów. John Updike, ?The New Yorker?Thriller przyprawiający o szybsze bicie serca. ?The Washington Post Book World? Któż inny jak nie Atwood potrafiłby znaleźć humor w postapokaliptycznym świecie, jednocześnie dyskretnie i błyskotliwie poszukując odpowiedzi na pytanie, jak żyć na zagrożonej planecie. ?Kansas City Star?Atwood jest zabawna i pomysłowa, to wybitna pisarka i prawdziwa myślicielka? ?Rok Potopu? to nie proroctwo, ale niepokojąco realistyczna wizja. ?The New York Times Book Review? Margaret Atwood to światowej sławy powieściopisarka, poetka, krytyczka literacka, feministka i aktywistka polityczna, wymieniana wśród najpoważniejszych kandydatów do literackiej Nagrody Nobla. Jej książki ukazały się w ponad trzydziestu językach. Do jej dorobku literackiego należą między innymi ?Opowieść podręcznej?, na kanwie której nakręcono film pod tym samym tytułem; ?Ślepy zabójca?, powieść nagrodzona Booker Prize; i ?Oryks i Derkacz?, nominowana do Booker Prize i Orange Prize w dziedzinie literatury.
