Na dne mora. Dovolenka v kubánskej totalite


Cigary, salsa a rum. Ale tiež potravinová kríza, bieda a všadeprítomná ozvena revolúcie, ktorá v skutočnosti žije už len v sadrových kulisách a v hlavách ľudí opantaných propagandou. Bienvednido a Cuba! Vitajte na Kube! V podaní slovenskej reportérky Kristíny Böhmer to však nebude sterilná dovolenka v prímorskom letovisku, ale dobrodružná cesta naprieč ostrovom i jeho komplikovanými dejinami. V tejto knihe sa dozvieš: - akú cestu prešla Kuba od oslobodenia spod španielskej nadvlády až po Castrovu revolúciu - ako Castrova revolúcia zradila sny mnohých Kubáncov o spravodlivej spoločnosti - prečo pri pobreží Kuby takmer vypukla nukleárna svetová vojna - či dá sa na Kube cestovať aj mimo štátnych ubytovacích zariadení - ako spolu súvisia dovolenka v rezorte a agrárna reforma Fidela Castra - ako dopadli občianske pokusy o zmenu zdola a prečo je kubánsky režim taký pevný - ako režim systematicky potláča prejavy občianskej neposlušnosti - čo si radšej nezabudnúť pribaliť do batožiny pred cestou na Kubu Kuba má mnoho tvárí. Jedna z nich je hrdá a odhodlaná ako Che Guevara na ikonickom portréte. Druhá vyzerá ako tropický raj, kde môžete zabudnúť na všetky problémy. Tretia zas zo všetkého najviac pripomína väzenie. Reportážna kniha Kristíny Böhmer Na dne mora mapuje autorkinu cestu po Kube, v ktorej sa súčasnosť poznamenaná pandémiou covidu a najmasovejšími protestami proti kubánskemu režimu za uplynulé desaťročia prelína s minulosťou od jej kolonizácie až po revolúciu Fidela Castra. Svoju cestu po Kube a obrazy z dejín ostrova Kristína Böhmer konfrontuje s výpoveďami mnohých respondentov – od prenasledovaných disidentov a exulantov až po obyčajných Kubáncov a Kubánky, ktorých stretla náhodou počas cesty naprieč ostrovom. Vďaka tomu môže porovnať obraz, ktorý o sebe vytvára režim, s realitou bežných ľudí, ktorí svoj čas trávia neustálym čakaním. Čakaním v rade na ryžu. Čakaním na rozheganý autobus československej výroby. Čakaním na to, kedy sa im konečne podarí odísť preč. Z ostrova však veľa ciest nevedie. Na slávnom Malecóne, havanskej promenáde, často posedávajú miestni a hľadia na more, za ktorým tušia Floridu, a na nej množstvo ich príbuzných a priateľov, ktorým sa podarilo ujsť. Kniha Na dne mora však nerozpráva len o dejinách a politike, ale tiež o pozoruhodných mestách a obciach, či o kubánskej hudbe, tanci a náboženstve. Poslúži tak aj ako dobrý bedeker, ktorý, na rozdiel od iných turistických publikácií netají, že ostrov na tom vôbec nie je dobre.

Project V


STEMinist mecha fantasy meets reality television in this high-stakes novel from the author of A Magical Girl Retires--a wildly imaginative tale of sibling bonds, unexpected friendship, and an existential quest to understand what it means to be human. Robotics student Kim Wooram, runner-up at the World Gigantic Mechanics Olympiad, is a world-class pilot and engineer. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she likes working solo, preferring the company of robots to most other humans. Sought by robotics centers across the globe, she chooses to return to Korea after learning of an exciting new secret government robotic project known as V. To her disappointment, only male pilots are allowed to apply. Desperate for a chance to make history and encouraged by her twin brother, Boram, the usual rule-following Wooram makes a risky choice. Posing as Boram, she auditions for Project V, the reality competition show whose winner will pilot the robot V--and quickly becomes one of the top contestants in both skill and popularity. Wooram attracts fans and friends like Seojin, the show's youngest female writer and ardent "Boram" stan, and Jeonghoon, the clumsy but lovable underdog. She also gains a rival in Jinyoung, the ruthless heir to a Korean corporate dynasty. As Wooram comes tantalizingly close to achieving her goal, she begins to realize that V's arrogant AI is a ticking time bomb. With victory within reach, and her identity at stake, will Wooram destroy the robot of her dreams to save lives, or stick to the script? Project V is a playful yet sharp meditation on some of the most pressing issues roiling modern society in Korea and across the globe: the male dominance in STEM fields, the ethics of parasocial idolatry and our addiction to social media and reality television, and the promise and peril of an AI-oriented future. Punchy and compelling, Park Seolyeon's novel is a winning exploration of ambition and creation--a quintessential novel of our present and future for mecha fans and all curious readers. Translated from the Korean by Gene Png
