Death in Venice and Other Stories
''impossible here, absurd, depraved, ludicrous and yet sacred, still honourable, even here: "I love you!"This volume contains a generous selection of the short fiction Thomas Mann published in the years 1897 to 1912, after which he turned to larger-scale projects. The acknowledged classic among the early shorter fiction is the novella Death in Venice, in which Mann develops a lyrical style and a range of mythological allusions, through the forbidden love of a middle-aged man for a teenage boy, a theme with roots in Mann''s own emotional experience. In many of his shorter works, Mann uses irony and humour to treat the conflict between sensitive, often artistic souls and the vital, often brutal forces of life. The stories, usually about isolated figures, convey a mixture of humour, sadness, and irony which invites ambivalent responses from readers. This new set of translations by Ritchie Robertson and Nicola Luckhurst is accompanied by explanatory notes and introduction.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
Not Without Laughter, The Ways of White Folks, The Weary Blues
One of the most important writers to emerge from the Harlem Renaissance, Langston
Hughes may be best known as a poet, but he was also a brilliant storyteller, blending
elements of blues and jazz, speech and song, into a triumphant and wholly original idiom.
Perhaps more than any other writer, Langston Hughes made the white America of the
1920s and 1930s aware of the Black culture thriving in its midst. Hughes's poetry and
fiction works are messages from that America, sharply etched vignettes of its daily life,
cruelly accurate portrayals of Black and white collisions.
Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free paper,
with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers,
European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.

Čas se rychle krátí a všechno, co se zdálo stabilní, začíná získávat povážlivé trhliny. Naštěstí má nová generace seveřanů dostatek houževnatosti a síly k překročení stínů těch, kteří je předešli. A třeba i obyčejná dívka může podle vzoru zakladatelky země vytvořit velké dílo, které pomůže přežít těm, kdo volají o pomoc.

A Beautiful Lack of Consequence
'Tender, humorous and moving’ COSMOPOLITAN'Visceral, wild, and so beautifully necessary.' SALMA EL-WARDANY, author of THESE IMPOSSIBLE THINGS'Radojevic’s stories and fragments are so sharp-edged they could draw blood. Fierce, funny and angry.' CATHERINE MAYER, author TIME/LIFE***Across thirty striking tales, Monika Radojevic weaves together the surreal with the everyday, confronting the experiences of contemporary womanhood with a tender ferocity shot through with humour. A woman walks into a bar, and nobody notices. A newly married couple are punished for their childlessness with an unsettling nocturnal invasion. A girl trades her vocal cords for a chance at freedom. A door-to-door salesperson offers the antidote to women’s fear – but it comes at a high price. Bubbling with an urgent rage that occasionally tips over into vengeance, Radojevic deftly charts the moments that make a life: from the warmth of first love to the recognition of anger, and the possibilities that take shape as we find or lose our ability to speak. A Beautiful Lack of Consequence explores the ways in which the world bends and breaks women with the pressure it puts on them – and what happens when those women snap back. Moving and irreverent, dark and otherworldly, A Beautiful Lack of Consequence is a blazing debut collection from the winner of the #Merky Books New Writers’ Prize. ***'Thoughtful, introspective and darkly funny' READER REVIEW'So beautiful and raw' READER REVIEW'Biting . . . a must read!'
