Sbírka písňových textů, básní a deníkových záznamů Leonarda Cohena nazvaná Plamen sice vyšla až po autorově smrti, na jejím uspořádání se však velký kanadský písničkář a básník výrazně podílel – do jisté míry tak lze knihu považovat za jeho umělecký testament. A testament je to vskutku velkolepý a reprezentativní, Cohen se nám tu představuje ve všech svých polohách, od meditativních, lyrických zamyšlení přes propastný smutek po poťouchle humorné pasáže či mrazivě sarkastické šlehy. Vítaným zpestřením jsou autorovy vlastní ilustrace. Kniha vychází v převodu Miroslava Jindry, cohenovského specialisty a legendy českého uměleckého překladu. „Leonard Cohen je stejně velký básník jako písničkář.“ Guardian „Zcela jedinečné; Cohenovo dílo nelze napodobit, ať se o to kdokoli snaží sebevíc.“ Nick Cave

An uncovered novel from the world's greatest lyricist Leonard Cohen. In A Ballet of Lepers Leonard Cohen explores themes that would come to permeate his later works - shame stemming from feelings of unworthiness; sexual desire, in all its sacred and profane dimensions; and longing, whether it be for love, family, freedom or transcendence. A haunting examination of these elements in tandem, this novel and stories are about toxic relationships and the lengths we go to maintain them. Meditative and surprising, A Ballet of Lepers offers a playful, provocative and penetrating glimpse into the world-weary lives of Cohen's characters, and a window into the early art of a storytelling master. About the Author Leonard Cohen began his artistic career in 1956 with the publication of his first book of poetry, Let Us Compare Mythologies. He went on to publish 12 more books, including two celebrated novels, and gained worldwide recognition as an iconic singer-songwriter. He released 14 studio albums, including three in the last years of his life when he also became one of the most acclaimed arena-performing artists in the world. Among his numerous honours, he is the recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award 2010, the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature 2011, the inaugural New England PEN Award for Excellence in Lyrics 2012, the 2016 Juno Awards for Song of the Year and Album of the Year, and he has been inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the US Songwriters Hall of Fame. He died in November 2016.

The poems in Book of Mercy brim with praise, despair, anger, doubt and trust. Speaking from the heart of the modern world, yet in tones that resonate with an older devotional tradition, these verses give voice to our deepest, most powerful intuitions. Internationally celebrated for his writing and his music, Leonard Cohen is revered as one of the greatest writers, performers, and most consistently daring artists of the last hundred years.
