The Nineteenth-Century Asylum Periodical
Unearthing primary sources from a large transatlantic archive, this first book-length study of asylum periodicals in the nineteenth century traces the origins and early spread of periodical publishing in mental institutions in Britain, the United States, and the rest of the world. It connects the rise of asylum periodicals with developments in publishing, literary culture, and the treatment of madness, illuminating the social and print networks that supported their spread. Examining the complicated relationships involved in asylum publishing, Mila Daskalova highlights the role of print in self-expression, community building and identity formation. It shows that patients employed these publications to navigate their institutional reality and to interact with each other and the world. Rather than powerless recipients of care or abuse, periodical contributors participated actively in their treatment and cultural and social life within and beyond the institutions. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Všechno mezi námi
Wendy přesně ví, jak vypadá láska. Jako svatební koordinátorka dokáže připravit dokonalý den, který odstartuje to pověstné šťastně až do smrti.
Sama pro sebe ale nic podobného neplánuje. Na vlastní šťastný konec přestala věřit, když jí láska ukázala, že ne vždy končí jako v romantických knihách.
A rozhodně není nutné si připomínat, jak moc umí bolet.
Kdyby mohl, naplánoval by si Hill celý svůj život úhledně do kalendáře. Svět mu dává největší smysl, dokud ho má pod kontrolou a nehrozí žádné nečekané překvapení, které by mu mohlo zkazit den. Pro vztah se v téhle tabulce nikdy nesnažil udělat místo – tvrdí, že závazky nejsou nic pro něj. Jinak by totiž musel přiznat, že jedinou, na které mu kdy záleželo, sám odehnal.
Když se po letech setkají, vrací se všechno, co mezi nimi bylo. Staré výčitky, nikdy nevyřčené věty, ale i přitažlivost, která nikdy nezmizela. Oba vědí, že vrátit se k sobě znamená riskovat další bolest. Bolest, na kterou se oba snažili roky zapomenout.
Ashbourne 2: Než roztaje sníh
Říká se, že čas všechno otupí a já jsem dost tvrdohlavá na to, abych tomu pořád věřila.
Po tom, co jsem jen o chlup unikla znásilnění a doma se mi začal rozpadat život pod rukama, se snažím hlavně nezastavit. Pracuju, šetřím na vlastní cukrárnu a doufám, že strach z doteků a blízkosti mužů jednou přestane rozhodovat za mě.
Bohužel místo klidu si přidám další komplikaci.
Brigádu v kavárně Tristana Kerrigana. Člověka, který mě viděl v tom nejhorším okamžiku mého života. Uzavřeného majitele kavárny, který si od lidí drží stejný odstup, jako já od všeho, co by mě mohlo znovu bolet. Jenže mezi námi se velmi rychle začne dít něco, co jsem rozhodně nečekala.
S příjezdem jeho rodiny a nečekanou cestou do Skotska mi dochází, že tahle zima nebude ani klidná, ani jednoduchá, a jestli jsem se za poslední rok něco naučila, pak to, že katastrofy si mě vždycky najdou.
Tentokrát jen vypadají o něco přitažlivěji.
Dodge City
'A perfect novel ... on the knife's edge of hilarity and tenderness' JONATHAN LETHEMFrom the Booker-shortlisted author of The Sisters Brothers, Patrick deWitt, comes Dodge City, a thrilling novel about a young man on an amphetamine fuelled cross-country road trip fleeing the draft for the safe haven of Canada.1967, California. Lee Clarke is a strait-laced twenty-three-year-old from the small town of Concrete, Washington.He is ambling along at college as the social revolution of the sixties unfolds among his peers, until an ill-advised fistfight leads to his expulsion. Days later, a draft letter lands on his doormat, calling him up to fight in the Vietnam War.Lee then makes the first political decision of his life: he will leave the country and head for the border.He kisses his girlfriend for the last time and signs up at a drive-away car delivery service and scores a Jaguar bound for the East Coast. He takes with him only a single suitcase and a bag of amphetamines to speed his course.But Lee knows he can't slip the country without saying the rest of his goodbyes.In four different towns strung out along the country, Lee visits each member of his family: his father, a World War Two veteran in a state of degradation; his mother, engaged in a buoyantly manic and never-ending performance with her shut-in sibling; his heartbroken, misanthropic brother Harry; and finally his twin sister Grace, a brash, young nurse-in-training mired in romantic drama at a Manhattan psychiatric hospital. He's speeding towards his future, and yet the past keeps rising up to meet him. Will he make it across the border the same man as when he started this journey?A sweeping portrait of a country in flux and a family in disarray, Dodge City is a beautiful and raucous exploration of family, belonging, love and war.It confirms deWitt as one of our most brilliant satirists and a novelist of staggering heart.
Jsem tvůj ďábel
Můžeš milovat někoho, kdo tě kdysi zničil?
A věřit, že tentokrát to dopadne jinak?
Samantha dostala druhou šanci na život, jenže jí nikdo neřekl, jak těžké je skutečně čelit každému novému dni. Poté, co nahlédla do temnoty, ji stíny nadpřirozena odmítají pustit a šance na obyčejnou existenci se rozplývá.
V okamžiku, kdy se snaží slepit střípky svého starého já, se její oporou stává někdo, od koho by měla utíkat. Někdo, kdo v ní vidí víc než jen zraněnou dívku – možná pravdu, před kterou ona sama zavírá oči.
Mezi osudovým poutem, které ji drží v minulosti, a nebezpečnou přitažlivostí neznámého se hranice mezi tím, kým Sam byla a kým se stává, nenávratně stírá.
Protože ne všechno, co miluješ, je pro tebe správné. A ne každé štěstí stojí za cenu ublížení těm, kteří ti ještě zbyli.
Co se stane, když Samantha zjistí, že největší boj nevede s osudem… ale sama se sebou?

A pak listy zašeptaly
Září 1938. Pohraniční Městečko se probouzí do nové reality. Německá vojska přebírají továrny, město se láme vejpůl a devatenáctiletý Honza přichází během jediné chvíle o otce i o jistotu domova. Rozhodnutí odejít do Prahy je útěkem i nadějí zároveň.
V hlavním městě získává práci v redakci národního deníku a věří, že slova mohou měnit svět. Poznává Evu – citlivou, statečnou dívku židovského původu. Jejich vztah se rodí v době, kdy se pravda stává nebezpečím a noviny nástrojem propagandy.
S příchodem okupace se redakce mění. Někteří kolegové mlčí, jiní kolaborují. Honza odmítá ustoupit a zapojuje se do ilegálního tisku. Každý článek může být poslední. Každá schůzka může skončit zatčením.
Zatímco Honza hledá odvahu mluvit, Eva musí nacházet odvahu přežít. Z dívky, která měla pevné zázemí a víru v budoucnost, se postupně stává žena na hraně fyzických i psychických sil. Její proměna je tichým, ale o to silnějším svědectvím doby.
Příběh je vyprávěn dvojhlasem – mladým Honzou a starým mužem, který se po letech vrací vlakem „na konec světa“, aby se vyrovnal se svou minulostí. Vzpomínky se prolínají s přítomností a znovu otevírají otázku, zda měl tehdy dost odvahy – a zda ji máme dnes my.
