Básnici zo Stasi


V čase studenej vojny sa tajná služba Nemeckej demokratickej republiky rozhodla posvietiť si na spisovateľov, vycvičiť si vlastných lojálnych autorov, ktorí budú ochotne informovať príslušné orgány o zákulisnej atmosfére literárneho života, a získať na svoju stranu ľudí, pripravených sledovať svojich nekonformných kolegov. Z agentov sa stávali poeti, z poetov agenti. Kniha nemecko-britského novinára Philipa Oltermanna rozpráva nepravdepodobný a málo známy príbeh básnickej tvorivej dielne na východonemeckom ministerstve pre štátnu bezpečnosť, známom ako Stasi. Na základe päťročného archívneho výskumu a rozhovorov s aktérmi a aktérkami autor nielen rekonštruuje pozadie a fungovanie tohto krúžku, ale zároveň približuje jeho špecifické miesto v bezpečnostnom aparáte krajiny socialistického bloku. Spojenie jednej z najsurovejších tajných polícií s jemným básnickým remeslom znie možno groteskne. Oltermann však ukazuje, že nemuseli mať od seba tak ďaleko, ako by sa na prvý pohľad zdalo. Obzvlášť v prípade Nemeckej demokratickej republiky, krajiny s bohatým kultúrnym dedičstvom, výsadným postavením spisovateľov a literárneho umenia a tiež, slovami Georgea Steinera, s intenzívnym, priam religióznym vzťahom k písanému slovu.

The Valkyries


The Valkyries – fierce daughters of battle, riders of storm and shadow. They choose the slain and carry souls to glory, moving between mortal and divine. These fierce but angelic warrior goddesses escort half of those who have died in battle to Odin's hall of heroes: Valhalla. There they receive the heroes with horns of mead. But there is so much more to these heavily symbolic beings. The Valkyries are many and amorphous, some are named and famous – Brunhild (powerful and defiant), Gunnr (courageous in battle), Skuld (a Norn but also a Valkyrie) to name a few – while others exist in the shadows. This new collection features stories that tell the Valkyries’ own back stories, and echo their power: tales of fate, war, sacrifice and the mythic eternal. Stories selected from open submissions explore and expand on the classic tales and imagine completely new narratives. With an extensive new introduction to the ancient origins and stories, this powerful new title offers fresh perspectives on compelling characters. Introductory essay by Nancy Marie Brown, and foreword by Jóhanna Katrín Fri?riksdóttir. The modern authors whose stories feature in this book are: Ryaan Akmal, Don Bisdorf, Kay Hanifen, Ikechukwu Henry, E.K. Larson-Burnett, JB Riley, Laura Shenton, Nina Shepardson, Zac Sherman, D.L. Stille, Susanna Fraser Stone, Deborah Tapper, Benjamin Thomas, M.M. Williams, Mae Wilmarth, Johanna Wittenberg and Ernie Xu. About the series: Discover the mythology of humankind through its heroes, characters, gods and immortal figures. Myths, Gods & Immortals brings together the new and the ancient, familiar stories with a fresh and imaginative twist. Each book brings back to life a legendary, mythological or folkloric figure, with new stories alongside a comprehensive introduction which tells the original tales and emphasizes ancient and modern connections, tracing history and stories across continents, cultures and peoples. New and emerging writers from open submissions reveal hidden themes, casting fresh perspectives on well known stories, complementing the specially commissioned story of the origins and the cultural background from the era. Existing titles are Medusa, Odin, Anansi, Circe, Achilles, Morgana le Fay, Aphrodite and Loki.

FALLOUT


A radical daughter. A closeted father. A prim mother turned protester. One runaway girl sets a family on fire - and lights the way to liberation. In the bleak winter of 1982, fifteen-year-old Bridget has had enough. Enough of Thatcher's Britain, enough of being invisible, and enough of her family's secrets. Armed with little more than a sharp tongue and a fierce sense of justice, she runs away from her suburban life to join the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp - one of the most iconic protest movements in British history. But Bridget's disappearance doesn't just blow open her own life. It sends shockwaves through her fractured family: her distant, conservative mother, who's about to fall headlong into a love affair she never saw coming, and her father - a man with secrets of his own, who's spent a lifetime hiding in plain sight. Set at the unlikely intersection of nuclear disarmament and personal awakening, FALLOUT is a fearless, darkly funny exploration of identity, family, and midlife reinvention. With an irreverent bite that evokes Fleabag, the emotional complexity of Bad Sisters, and the political urgency of Milkman, Eleanor Anstruther has written a novel that is 'gutsy, urgent, and heartfelt' (Emma Forrest), full of 'wit, fire, and serious truths' (Joanna Pocock). As the three members of this quietly explosive family collide on the protest lines - armed with placards, secrets, and unlikely hope - they're forced to confront what they've been hiding from each other, and from themselves. Perfect for readers of Meg Mason, Ali Smith, and Nina Stibbe, FALLOUT is a luminous, unforgettable novel about the lies we tell to survive - and the courage it takes to finally come undone.
