Saoirse


Exploring the fine line between dishonesty and reinvention, Saoirse is an evocative and compelling story of a woman perpetually in flight. A book for fans of Trespasses by Louise Kennedy and Barbara's Kingsolver's Demon Copperhead. In the wilds of Donegal, Ireland, 1999, Saoirse is an artist living an outwardly idyllic life. Her tender husband Daithí and two beloved daughters are regular subjects for her work, and in them she has found the safe home that she has always longed for. She tends not to talk about her past, and those that love her have learned to accept that the full story is too painful for her to disclose. When her Dublin exhibition unexpectedly wins a prestigious award that invites a swarm of publicity, Saoirse is left panic stricken. The unanticipated recognition threatens to expose a decade's worth of buried memories and past crimes. Because what her family and friends don't know is that Saoirse has been on the run since she was seventeen, she has stolen an identity to survive, and whilst Ireland might now be her home, it wasn't her first - and now her past life is poised to reclaim her. The novel weaves between flashbacks to a complicated childhood in Michigan, and Saoirse's journey to and in Ireland to forge safety for herself.

Tegtmaierovy železárny


Prvotina autora, který v obecném povědomí dodnes žije jako autor slavného románu Kámen a bolest. Dvacet let před ním (1922) vydal Karel Schulz „komunistický román“ Tegtmaierovy železárny. Příběh o muži, který se z nuzných poměrů vypracoval na majitele velké železářské firmy a v zápase o zisk, vedeném ve jménu ideje budoucího lepšího, technicky i společensky lépe uspořádaného „železného“ světa, se tvrdě střetne se zájmy svých dělníků, kteří hájí svou mzdu, umožňující jim jen přežívání „od výplaty k výplatě“. Autor byl tehdy členem levicové umělecké skupiny Devětsil, svou prvotinu navíc psal v sociálně rozjitřené době let 1920–1921 (generální stávka v prosinci 1920, demonstrace, při jejichž potlačování bylo zastřeleno čtrnáct dělníků, následné odtržení levicové části sociálnědemokratické strany a vznik strany komunistické).
