Příběhy Artura Gordona Pyma


Poea k napsání tohoto příběhu inspirovala novinová zpráva o ztroskotání lodi a následné záchraně dvou mužů na palubě. Toto strhující námořní dobrodružství, vydané v roce 1838, pojednává o chlapci z Nové Anglie, Pymovi, který se spolu s kapitánovým synem Augustusem načerno dostane na velrybářskou loď. Oba chlapci se opakovaně ocitají na pokraji smrti nebo jim hrozí, že budou objeveni, a jsou svědky mnoha děsivých událostí, včetně vzpoury, kanibalismu a zběsilých pronásledování. Poe tomuto příběhu vtiskl alegorickou bohatost, biblickou obraznost a psychologické postřehy, jimiž ovlivnil spoustu jiných spisovatelů, mezi nimiž byli například Melville, James, Verne a Nabokov.

Temný Olymp 6: Půlnoční zmar


Utekla jsem do podsvětí, abych našla roztříštěné střípky svého já. Místo toho jsem ale našla jeho. Eurydika Dimitriouová byla vždy jen chráněnou nejmladší sestřičkou, ale konečně je připravená vystoupit z dlouhého stínu vrhaného svou mocnou rodinou – a bývalým přítelem, který jí zlomil srdce. Drsné ruce na jemné kůži jsou možná přesně to, co potřebuje, aby na svůj srdcebol konečně zapomněla… Charón Ariti je už celá léta Hádovou pravou rukou. Dolnímu městu dal všechno, ale nyní si chce vzít něco sám pro sebe. S velkým potěšením poskytne Eurydice velice výjimečný druh vzdělání… Je však její srdce opravdu dost svobodné na to, aby si ho mohl přivlastnit? Orfeus Makos zoufale touží věci napravit. Bývalý zlatý chlapec horního města je jen stínem svého dřívějšího já. Udělá cokoli, aby Eurydiku získal zpět… i kdyby to znamenalo, že do jeho náručí nepřijde sama. Tři srdce. Tři budoucnosti. Bezpočet způsobů, jak by se to mohlo pokazit. Ale když selhávající bariérou Olympu proniknou nepřátelé a zaútočí na dolní město, budou zlomená srdce to nejmenší, co bude nadějnou mileneckou trojici trápit.

The Anatomy of Exile: A Novel


The Abadi Family saga begins when a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story between a Palestinian and a Jew ends in predictable tragedy. The family flees to America to mend, but encounters only more turmoil that threatens to tear the family apart. In the wake of the 1967 Six Day War, Tamar Abadi’s world collapses when her sister-in-law is killed in what appears to be a terror attack but what is really the result of a secret relationship with a Palestinian poet. Tamar’s husband, Salim, is an Arab and a Jew. Torn between the two identities, and mourning his sister’s death, he uproots the family and moves them to the US. As Tamar struggles to maintain the integrity of the family’s Jewish Israeli identity against the backdrop of the American “melting pot” culture, a Palestinian family moves into the apartment upstairs and she is forced to reckon with her narrow thinking as her daughter falls in love with the Palestinian son. Fearing history will repeat itself, Tamar's determination to separate the two sets into motion a series of events that have the power to destroy her relationship with her daughter, her marriage, and the family she has worked so hard to protect. This powerful debut novel explores Tamar's struggle to keep her family intact, to accept love that is taboo, and grapples with how exile forces us to reshape our identity in ways we could not imagine.
