Apparitions


Two nuns, and one obsessed mother, doing everything in their power to achieve communion with the one they love. Sister Lugarda de la Encarnación takes the lash, and an unnamed mother gets down on her hands and knees – sacramental postures demanded by inscrutable men. Apparitions is a novel of ecstasy pursued, desire transmogrified into devotion, and obedience as a passionately pursued, not entirely free choice. Erotic, and suffused with painting, music, art, it’s an incantatory exploration of what it means to abandon the world, and to use your body – in pain, and in pleasure – as a way of finally coming to know the divine.

Semmiből egészen szerelembe


Íróként mindig az érzelmek mélysége érdekel: hogyan talál egymásra két ember, milyen buktatókon át vezet az út a szerelemig, és mi marad belőlünk, amikor elengedni kényszerülünk. Regényeimben a szenvedély, a vágy és az élet drámái szövik át a történeteket, mert hiszem, hogy az irodalom akkor érint meg igazán, ha szívből születik. Korábbi köteteim (Imádom, hogy nő vagyok, Szerelem és bűn, Én, Báthory Erzsébet) után e könyvben ismét a szív hangját követem – mert a szerelem mindig képes újra és újra meglepni minket. P.

Don't Be A F*#cking Marshmallow


A revolutionary graphic guide to changing the world, written and illustrated by journalist Jesse Mechanic (@JesseMechanic).Legendary labor activist Dolores Huerta famously said, “Don’t be a marshmallow.

Overflowing with color, humor, camaraderie (and the occasional friendly dress-down), it’s a vibrant, motivational companion, designed specifically for those of us who want to build a better world right now.

Diletantismus a další eseje


Rudolf Kassner (1873 – 1959) byl jednou z nejzajímavějších a zároveň nejméně známých osobností evropského kulturního myšlení první poloviny 20. století. Narodil se ve Velkých Pavlovicích v rakousko?uherské monarchii a navzdory dětské obrně, která ho pro zbytek života odkázala na berle, se stal vášnivým cestovatelem, poutavým esejistou, překladatelem a kulturním filozofem. Kassner studoval filologii, latinu a filozofii ve Vídni a Berlíně a celý život usiloval o to, aby porozuměl lidské představivosti, kritizoval modernitu a zkoumal mystiku, hermetismus i filozofické myšlenky dalekých kultur. Jeho dílo, které zahrnuje originální eseje, aforismy a filozofické studie, ovlivnilo řadu jeho významných současníků, například Rainera Maria Rilkeho. Kassner byl třináctkrát nominován na Nobelovu cenu za literaturu, a to od uznávaných profesorů a kulturních osobností z Rakouska, Německa a Švýcarska. I když cenu nakonec nezískal, jeho myšlenky zůstávají trvalým odkazem evropské filozofie a literatury. Tato kniha o diletantismu napravuje jistý dluh vůči tomuto v mnohém podnětnému mysliteli.
