Český literární naturalismus
Naturalismus vzbudil na konci devatenáctého a počátkem následujícího století vlnu bouřlivých diskusí. Napříč evropskou kulturou byl radikálně odmítán, a zároveň neodolatelně přitahoval čtenáře, nakladatele i podstatnou část spisovatelů. Jaká byla jeho pozice a podoba v české literatuře? Omezoval se jen na několik málo jmen, která si dnes s naturalismem spojujeme, nebo měl širší dosah a vnitřně rozmanitější povahu? Byl pouze odlitkem Zolovy teorie a románů, nebo se k tomuto ideálnímu prototypu vztahoval složitěji, ba mnohotvárně? Přinášel čtenáři jen senzační motivy krajní ošklivosti a hnusu, nebo byl podnětným moderním experimentem? Co český naturalismus vypovídá o pozici naší literatury v evropském kontextu, třeba v porovnání s Francií, Německem, Skandinávií, ale třeba i se Slovenskem? Jaký podnět i metodologický problém naturalismus představuje pro literární historii?
Publikace je výsledkem dlouholeté spolupráce literárních historiků a specialistů na divadlo i drama z univerzit i výzkumných institucí v Českých Budějovicích, Praze, Brně, Olomouci a Liberci. Navazuje na řadu knih, vydaných v Hostu a věnovaných českému klasicismu, romantismu a parnasismu.
The Knight Watch
A thousand years ago, the Knights of the Round Table made an oath to protect the realm forevermore. It's safe to say they didn't think it all the way through. Now Britain is embroiled in the Second World War, and the knights are still fighting the enemies of the realm. They're also fighting each other - Kay and Lancelot haven't spoken since Agincourt, and everyone wishes Agravain would stop speaking entirely. Isolde - known in myth and legend for her tragic romance with the knight Tristan - is fed up with her tragic reputation. In a time when women have more freedom than ever before, she's determined to strike out on her own. But when she discovers old enemies working alongside the Nazis, she realises she can't fight all of them by herself. It might be time to get the old band back together . . . From the Sunday Times bestselling Thomas D. Lee comes this sharp and witty caper, asking what happens when knights in armour return to fix the problems of a more modern world . . .
By the River's Edge
The decades-long manhunt for a serial killer takes a stunning turn in a haunting and harrowing true crime shocker by Gregg Olsen, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of If You Tell. In 1990 in Washington state, the bodies of Yolanda Sapp, Nickie Lowe, and Kathy Brisbois were found on the banks of the Spokane River. They were part of a close-knit alliance of sex workers whose oath to protect each other was, in the end, hopeless. For twenty-two years their brutal murders went unsolved. In 2012, a DNA cold hit pointed to Douglas Perry. A repeat assault offender, Douglas was currently incarcerated in Carswell, Texas. But there was a twist: The facility was for female prisoners. The man authorities hunted for decades was now Donna Perry. Her gender reassignment not only helped to mask the evil deeds of the past, it ended a life of childhood traumas and a pent-up rage unleashed on nearly thirty victims, according to Donna herself. Through total reinvention, she believed she’d finally slayed the monster within. By the River’s Edge is the astonishing true story of an elusive serial killer, an escape plan like no other, and the women who lived and died on the fringes of the Lilac City for whom justice was at long last served.

Anya mindig azt mondta, ne játsszak a tűzzel. Azonban, ha Dante Moretti maga a láng, én el akarok égni vele.
Gyűlölöm Dante Morettit!
Kegyetlen és könyörtelen. Bármi áron eléri céljait, még ha az emberéletekbe kerül is. Ha valaki vét ellene, nincs bocsánat. Olyan gonosz, hogy az ördög elbújhat mellette. De én nem ezért gyűlölöm.
Hanem azért, mert elvette tőlem az egyetlen dolgot, ami ebben a keserves világban még megmaradt nekem - a szabadságomat. Magához láncolt egy olyan adósság miatt, ami nem is az enyém.
Szerencsétlenségemre a testvérem az, aki tartozik neki.
Most azonban Dante aranykalitkájának foglya vagyok, és az egyetlen választásom: a szökés. Megpróbálom. Komolyan megpróbálom. De Dante Moretti mindenütt ott van.
Fojtogató a jelenléte. Mindent felemészt. Megrészegít.
Ő maga az ellentmondás. A szíve olyan hideg, mint a jég, de a szenvedélye forró, akár a tűz.
Miért képes úgy belelátni a lelkembe, ahogy eddig soha senki más? Miért kezd hevesen dobogni a szívem attól, ha csak egymáshoz érünk?

A szerelmükért küzdenek. De vajon meddig mennek el érte?
Mische meghozta a végső áldozatot, hogy megmenthesse azokat, akiket szeret - és örök éjszakába taszította a világot.
