Ernest Hemingway strana 7 z 9

Slnko aj vychádza
Odveká polarita života a smrti s násilím okolitého sveta i vlastnými slabosťami, veľkoleposti žitia - k týmto témam sa autor vracia neustále. Dej jeho románu je situovaný do intelektuálneho prostredia Paríža a francúzskej povojnovej bohémy. Americký novinár Jake Barnes, ako mnohí jeho rovesníci traumatizovaní vojnou, hľadá šťastie na potulkách v západnej Európe. I keď ho do istej miery nachádza v cite k lady Brett, ich vzťah nemôže byť naplnený pre jeho zranenie. Fascinujúcu atmosféru parížskych bulvárov a kaviarničiek striedajú žiarivé obrazy španielskej Pamplony a býčích zápasov, kam sa Jake s priateľmi vyberie hľadať životnú inšpiráciu. Nachádza ju nielen v živom pulze exotického kúta Európy, ale i v ľudsky čistých, opravdivých charakteroch, typických pre južné kraje, kde lásku, život a smrť spája iba krehké ohnivko.

Green Hills of Africa
Green Hills of Africa is Ernest Hemingway's lyrical journal of a month on safari in the great game country of East Africa, where he and his wife Pauline journeyed in December 1933. Hemingway's well-known interest in - and fascination with - big-game hunting is magnificently captured in this evocative account of his trip. It is an examination of the lure of the hunt and an impassioned portrait of the glory of the African landscape and of the beauty of a wilderness that was, even then, being threatened by the incursions of man.

Fiesta
Paris in the twenties: Pernod, parties and expatriate Americans, loose-living on money from home. Jake is wildly in love with Brett Ashley, aristocratic and irresistibly beautiful, but with an abandoned, sensuous nature that she cannot change. When the couple drifts to Spain to the dazzle of the fiesta and the heady atmosphere of the bullfight, their affair is strained by new passions, new jealousies, and Jake must finally learn that he will never possess the woman he loves.

Lacná kniha Across the River and into the Trees (-90%)
The War is just over. In Venice, a city elaborately and affectionately described, the American Colonel, Richard Cantrell, falls passionately in love with Renata, a young Italian countess who has 'a profile that could break your or anyone else's heart'. Cantrell is embittered, war-scarred and old enough to be Renata's father, but he is overwhelmed by the selflessness and freshness of the love she is offering. But this is no fairy tale. The fighting may be ended, but the wounds of war have not yet healed. And for some, the longed-for peace has come too late.

Death In The Afternoon
A fascinating look at the history and grandeur of bullfighting, Death in the Afternoon is also a deeper contemplation on the nature of cowardice and bravery, sport and tragedy, and is enlivened throughout by Hemingway's pungent commentary on life and literature. Seen through his eyes, bullfighting becomes an art, a richly choreographed ballet, with performers who range from awkward amateurs to masters of great grace and cunning.

Lacná kniha L´Ete Dangereux (-90%)
Je l'observai qui attendait impatiemment, ses yeux ne quittant jamais le taureau, tandis qu'il repérait les détails, analysait, réfléchissait et faisait ses plans. Il indiqua á Juan oú il voulait qu'on plaçât le taureau puis entra dans l'action et prit l'ascendant sur la bete avec quatre passes basses ; le genou, la jambe et la cheville gauches sur le sable, la jambe droite exposée tandis qu'il faisait aller et venir le taureau avec la magie de sa muleta, lui promettant tout, lui offrant une cible et lui montrant avec douceur et suavité que cette partie du jeu mortel n'était ni blessante ni douloureuse."Ce livre sur la mort est l'oeuvre d'un grand écrivain qui devait, un an aprés l'avoir écrit, se donner lui-meme la mort. C'est aussi le récit émouvant des retrouvailles de Hemingway avec les jours héroiques de sa jeunesse, au temps oú il découvrait les corridas et faisait la connaissance des toreros.

For Whom The Bell Tolls
High in the pine forests of the Spanish Sierra, a guerrilla band prepares to blow up a vital bridge. Robert Jordan, a young American volunteer, has been sent to handle the dynamiting. There, in the mountains, he finds the dangers and the intense comradeship of war. And there he discovers Maria, a young woman who has escaped from Franco's rebels...
Snows of Kilimangaro
In these Hemingway stories, which are partly autobiographical, men and women of passion live, fight, love and die in scenes of dramatic intensity. They range from hauntingly tragedy on the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, to brutal America with its deceptive calm, and war-ravaged Europe.
