Divoká lovkyně


Vítěz lovu může být jen jeden. Každý pátý rok, když se podzim láme v zimu, pořádají dva králové lov. Odehrává se v prastarém lese plném magie a tomu, kdo zvítězí, splní přání sám Jinokrál. Ne nadarmo se však tomuto lovu říká Divoký — kolují o něm strašlivé zvěsti a leckterý lovec se z něj nevrátil. Pozvánku navíc nezíská jen tak někdo. To ovšem neodradí Gwydiona, opomíjeného potomka mocné královské rodiny, který chce za každou cenu zabránit krutému bratrovi v nástupnictví. Na pomoc si přizve mladou lovkyni Branwen, která díky čarovnému oku vidí i to, co ostatním zůstává skryto, přesto však nedokáže pomoci své chřadnoucí matce. A pak je tu ještě Pryderi, znovunalezený královský syn, který coby nemluvně padl do spárů netvora a bojí se, že v něm už navždy zůstalo cosi nestvůrného. Když tito tři spojí své síly (a udrží na uzdě Branwenina lidožravého kocoura), možná se jim podaří zvítězit. Jenže nic není jisté, protože v lásce i na lovu je dovoleno vše.

The Book of Saladin


The Book of Saladin is the fictional memoir of Saladin, the Kurdish liberator of Jerusalem, as dictated to a Jewish scribe, Ibn Yakub. Saladin grants Ibn Yakub permission to talk to his wife and retainers so that he might present a full portrait in the Sultan's memoirs. A series of interconnected stories follows, tales brimming over with warmth, earthy humor and passions in which ideals clash with realities and dreams are confounded by desires. The novel charts the rise of Saladin as Sultan of Egypt and Syria and follows him as he prepares to take Jerusalem back from the Crusaders. This is a medieval story, but it uncannily points to contemporary events in Cairo, Damascus, and Baghdad.

The Stone Woman


Istanbul, 1899. The last great Islamic empire is in serious trouble. The family of Iskender Pasha, an Ottoman notable, has retired to its summer palace. Then a former tutor poses a question which the family has been refusing to confront for almost a century: 'Your Ottoman Empire is like a drunken prostitute, neither knowing nor caring who will take her next. Do I exaggerate, Memed?' This passionate story of jealousies, betrayals and vendettas charts the decay of the Empire and the rise of a new generation which is deeply hostile to the myths of the 'golden days.' The power of the 'Islam Quintet' lies both in the story-telling and its challenge against stereotyped images of life under Islam.

Godlike


An outrageous spectacle of love between two untamed poets, a 27-year old man and a teenage boy, written by one of America’s original punks and finest writers.Based on Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine’s notorious affair, but set in the epochal downtown poetry scene of filthy 1970s New York, Godlike is a tribute to poetry and the beauty and mess of art, desire, and New York City.New York poet Paul Vaughn has a trick for enjoying poetry readings: He simply imagines the reader died a long time ago. Paul is twenty-seven, married, and an admired poet himself. R. T. Wode’s mission is to give offense. He’s also a poet, freshly landed in the city, and, at age sixteen, unknown.Paul worships T. They embark on a tempestuous affair, dropping acid and crashing parties and perambulating the grit and grime of New York City circa 1972. Paul is in love with T., but T. is in love with experience. Their relationship disintegrates.A novel of compelling originality and transcendent beauty by legendary musician and poet Richard Hell, Godlike transposes the notorious romance of Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud to the East Village in its squalid, glorious ’70s heyday. The book comprises a version of Paul’s 1997 hospital notebooks: diaries amidst poems and essays, along with, most pertinently, the poet’s third-person memoir-novelette of his youthful time with the now-famous T. Godlike is infused as well with evocations—and sometimes actual poems—of many New York poets of the era, from Ted Berrigan and Ron Padgett to Edwin Denby and James Schuyler. It achieves a lyricism both profane and profound as it conjures the frenetic vitality as well as the existential malaise of an era. It’s a searching meditation on art, life, love, and the impossibility of everything.
