This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen
Tadeusz Borowski's concentration camp stories were based on his own experiences surviving Auschwitz and Dachau. In spare, brutal prose he describes a world where where the will to survive overrides compassion and prisoners eat, work and sleep a few yards from where others are murdered; where the difference between human beings is reduced to a second bowl of soup, an extra blanket or the luxury of a pair of shoes with thick soles; and where the line between normality and abnormality vanishes. Published in Poland after the Second World War, these stories constitute a masterwork of world literature.

WHAT MAKES A HOME A HOME?
TELL ME A STORY I CAN DREAM ON . . .
Ba dies in the night, Ma is already gone. Lucy and Sam, twelve and eleven, are suddenly alone and on the run. With their father's body on their backs, they roam an unforgiving landscape dotted with giant buffalo bones and tiger paw prints, searching for a place to give him a proper burial.
Once Lucy and Sam have made it out of the wild, they are changed forever. Sam chooses to live in their father's shadow, while Luck breaks free. Taking their own paths in the American West, in the twilight of the Gold Rush, encountering a cast of menacing characters: a fur trapper in exile, a charismatic brothel owner and a debutante from the upper echelons of society, each either sidesteps or falls victim to the new gods of greed, wealth and opportunism. Eventually, the siblings pull apart and come together for a final reckoning.
How Much of These Hills Is Gold is a sweeping adventure tale, an unforgettable sibling story and a remarkable novel about family, bound and divided by its memories.

Matilda gyermekei
Amikor még a Nap is fiatalabb volt – és nem látott annyi szörnyűséget, mint manapság –, az emberek is egész másfajta életet éltek. Különösen igaz volt ez egy völgyben élő, istenekhez fohászkodó, saját szabályok szerint és a nagyvilágtól elszigetelten élő kis közösségre. A szokványos, idilli napokat furcsa történések kezdik beárnyékolni, amelyek nem várt, tragikus eseményekhez vezetnek. Az összeszokott csoport addigi, háborítatlan életét örökre megváltoztatja a balsors. A hátborzongató eseményekhez, úgy tűnik, hogy többeknek is közük van a falubeliek közül, s a titkok, amelyeket addig féltve őriztek, mind-mind felszínre kerülnek, kíméletlenül feltárva a dermesztően sötét, lélekfacsaró igazságot… Lehet-e a lélek eredendően gonosz? Hány arca van a szerelemnek? Mennyi fájdalmat képes egy ember elviselni? Hol húzódik meg a határ szeretet és gyűlölet között? Feláldozható-e egy élet, ha ezzel számos másikat megmenthetünk? Mi történik akkor, ha átveszi az irányítást a józan ész fölött a feltételezés, a hiedelem és a bőr alá kúszó félelem?
Wasting Time on the Internet
Using clear, readable prose, conceptual artist and poet Kenneth Goldsmith's manifesto shows how our time on the internet is not really wasted but is quite productive and creative as he puts the experience in its proper theoretical and philosophical context. Kenneth Goldsmith wants you to rethink the internet. Many people feel guilty after spending hours watching cat videos or clicking link after link after link.
But Goldsmith sees that "wasted" time differently. Unlike old media, the internet demands active engagement-and it's actually making us more social, more creative, even more productive. When Goldsmith, a renowned conceptual artist and poet, introduced a class at the University of Pennsylvania called "Wasting Time on the Internet", he nearly broke the internet.
The New Yorker, the Atlantic, the Washington Post, Slate, Vice, Time, CNN, the Telegraph, and many more, ran articles expressing their shock, dismay, and, ultimately, their curiosity. Goldsmith's ideas struck a nerve, because they are brilliantly subversive-and endlessly shareable. In Wasting Time on the Internet, Goldsmith expands upon his provocative insights, contending that our digital lives are remaking human experience.
When we're "wasting time," we're actually creating a culture of collaboration. We're reading and writing more-and quite differently. And we're turning concepts of authority and authenticity upside-down.
The internet puts us in a state between deep focus and subconscious flow, a state that Goldsmith argues is ideal for creativity. Where that creativity takes us will be one of the stories of the twenty-first century. Wide-ranging, counterintuitive, engrossing, unpredictable-like the internet itself-Wasting Time on the Internet is the manifesto you didn't know you needed.
B. J. Harrison Reads Intelligence (EN)
Forty-year-old Professor Kauffmann is awakened by the loud, insistent trilling of the electric bell. He slides his hand, holding a weapon, into his gown’s pocket and goes downstairs to open the door. To his relief, it is Elphinstone who is ringing the doorbell in the middle of the night. The young man enters Kauffmann’s house without being invite, saying that he is in a great danger, and that so is the professor as well.

Deadly Animals
Thirteen-year-old Ava Bonney is unlike other children. Exceptionally bright, she has an obsessive interest in the rate at which dead animals decompose. The motorway she lives by regularly offers up roadkill, and in the dead of night Ava likes nothing better than to pull her latest discovery into her roadside den so she can study it.
But one day when she arrives she stumbles across the body of fellow pupil, Mickey Grant.
DI Seth Delahaye is given the case, one of the most challenging of his career. But Ava is not the sort of person who will step back and let someone else take charge when children like her are dying. She uses all her unusual skills and deep local knowledge to try to track down the serial killer in her community.
100 Quotes by Baruch Spinoza (EN)
Baruch Spinoza has been called the Prince of Philosophers; Hegel said of him that the alternative was: either Spinoza, or no philosophy at all. By laying the groundwork for the 18th-century Enlightenment and modern biblical criticism, including modern conceptions of the self and the universe, he came to be considered one of the great rationalists of 17th-century philosophy: he had the courage to criticize the traditionalism of religion, to offer a conception of God that would be logic instead of rigidly defined by a shallow dogma.

A Dana Sanderson Short Mystery
An excerpt from Glory Lane and the Humid Holiday
Dana had always been more comfortable with codes and computers than people."We got a missing persons report on Rich Walters a couple of days ago," Michelle said. "Only had a plane ticket to go on. We've had the word out, but he disappeared after he flew into Miami. Not a trace until right here, last night."Michelle held up one of those evidence bags with a scuffed brown leather wallet inside, with a loose driver's license pressed against the plastic.Dana glanced the alley where a few uniforms still lingered, heads down. "He's not… Is he over there?"Michelle looked over her shoulder, then turned back to Dana with a grin."Don't worry, Dana. He's not dead, not that we know of. But Rich Walters isn't just missing. He's disappeared into thin air."

A Sky Beyond The Storm
Picking up just a few months after A Reaper at the Gates left off...
The long-imprisoned jinn are on the attack, wreaking bloody havoc in villages and cities alike. But for the Nightbringer, vengeance on his human foes is just the beginning.
At his side, Commandant Keris Veturia declares herself Empress, and calls for the heads of any and all who defy her rule. At the top of the list? The Blood Shrike and her remaining family.
Laia of Serra, now allied with the Blood Shrike, struggles to recover from the loss of the two people most important to her. Determined to stop the approaching apocalypse, she throws herself into the destruction of the Nightbringer. In the process, she awakens an ancient power that could lead her to victory - or to an unimaginable doom.
And deep in the Waiting Place, the Soul Catcher seeks only to forget the life - and love - he left behind. Yet doing so means ignoring the trail of murder left by the Nightbringer and his jinn. To uphold his oath and protect the human world from the supernatural, the Soul Catcher must look beyond the borders of his own land. He must take on a mission that could save - or destroy - all that he knows.
Love is pain
Elena
I was cornered in an alley by monsters.
Then I met my knight in tarnished armor.
He will be my first. My last. My forever.
Viking
She was mine the second I saw her.
I will kill to protect and keep her.
If I ever lose her... I’ll make the world burn.

Hora duchů
Hora duchů je místem smrti. Vydá životy ztracených dívek dřív, než bude pozdě?
Když se v divočině tasmánských hor během školního výletu ztratí skupina náctiletých děvčat, obyvatelé Limestone Creek okamžitě zpozorní. K takovému zmizení v této oblasti nedošlo poprvé a pověsti o Hladovci a Hoře duchů dodnes budí místní ze sna. Od začátku je však jasné, že v horách někdo hraje nečistou hru.
Hlavním podezřelým se okamžitě stává místní drogový dealer — otec jedné z nezvěstných dívek. Detektiv Con Badenhorst ovšem ví, že v tomto městě, plném zkorumpovaných policistů, politických intrik a dávných tajemství, se nedá věřit nikomu. Zvlášť když je sestra jedné z pohřešovaných hvězdou internetu a zřejmě toho o zmizení ví víc, než prozrazuje.
Je možné, že tahle partička dospívajících děvčat nebyla tak nevinná, jak by se mohlo zdát? Kdo za jejich zmizením opravdu stojí? A především — vrátí se dívky zpět živé?

Editoriál
Úspešné príbehy sa dobre píšu a ešte lepšie čítajú. V decembrovom čísle sa Juraj Kalász zhovára s jazzmanom Martinom Valiho-rom, ktorý vzorec úspešného hudobníka napĺňa suverénne, s jednoznačnými presahmi za hranice pôvodného prostredia, navyše, aj s aktivitami, ktoré sa dotýkajú verejného záujmu. Rada o príkladoch skutočných elít čítam, nesmierne rada ich vidím na stránkach nášho časopisu. Potrebujeme ich ako soľ.
Musím sa priznať, že s veľkým rozochvením vstrebávam príbehy o tých, čo žijú svoje „malé“ hrdinstvá, v ústraní, bez ambícií byť videnými, v skromných podmienkach, v skutočnom zákulisí nášho hudobného sveta. Nevzdávajúci sa organizátori lokálnych festivalov mimo kultúrnych centier, operátori malých nezávislých vydavateľstiev, učitelia… Hnaní presvedčením o svojej pravde, idúci za ňou bez pátosu, lebo tam, kde nie je veľké publikum, nedá sa pred nikým na nič hrať.
Preto je na našej novembrovej obálke Pavel Stiller, učiteľ zobcovej flauty na Základnej umeleckej škole v Žiline. Zobcová flauta, tá popoluška zušiek, mliečny zub dychových nástrojov, vrchol pedagogickej úžitkovosti, kus plastu zabudnutý takmer v každej hudbymilovnej domácnosti… Vyštudovaného hornistu Pavla Stillera nestihla v detstve otráviť, šťastne ho minula jej utilitárna rola, ktorú jej tak nepekne určilo naše základné hudobné školstvo, a zrejme preto ako dospelý muž podľahol jej čaru. Príbehy jeho dvoch najúspešnejších žiačok, finalistiek najprestížnejších svetových súťaží i populárnej televíznej šou Virtuózi, sú nielen vyústením jeho dlhoročného pedagogického a interpretačného hľadania, ale aj poctivej práce na sebe a neustálej potreby posúvať sa ďalej. Rozho-vor s Pavlom Stillerom je pozvaním nielen pre učiteľov, rodičov detí, študentov, ale pre každého, kto hľadá životnú inšpiráciu.
Koniec roka je vždy plný koncertov, čo vidieť aj na našich stránkach. Veľmi teší zostava recenzií zahraničných operných pred-stavení, do ktorých kvalitne prispeli aj slovenskí interpreti a tvorcovia.
Posledným tohtoročným číslom sa s vami, vážení čitatelia, lúčime v tlačenej podobe až do začiatku februára 2024, keď si budete môcť kúpiť prvé dvojčíslo v novom roku. Na internete nás nájdete už skôr, v podobe čerstvej a dlhoočakávanej internetovej verzie Hudobného života.
Nech vaše sviatky na prelome rokov sprevádza pokoj, zdravie a hudba.
