Not for the first time - in fact, for the 343rd time - Jill 'Doll' Blaine finds herself crashing down to earth, head-first, rear-up, to accompany her latest charge into the afterlife.

Manžel aneb Jak se také dá využít váš partner

Manžel aneb Jak se také dá využít váš partner

Nová a zcela nekorektní dvojkniha karikaturisty Lubomíra Lichého je na světě. Můžete ji začít číst z kterékoli strany. Jenom si vybrat, zda dáte napřed přednost dámě nebo pánovi. Manželce či manželovi. Lichý nešetří ani jednoho. Knihou se tak prosmějete, podle toho, který začátek zvolíte. Výhodou je, že když ji otočíte, můžete pokračovat… Trocha nekorektního humoru z časů, kdy podržet ženě dveře neznamenalo jí sdělit, že si je není schopná otevřít sama, a drobné rýpnutí do opačného pohlaví se dalo přejít s humorem, a dokonce bez trestních oznámení. Zkrátka stará doba… Žijeme ve zvláštní době. Prakticky denně nám politici ve sdělovacích prostředcích předvádějí performance, o jejichž vhodnosti vysílání před desátou večerní by zcela jistě mohla být vedena odborná diskuse. Přesto jsou naladitelné v kteroukoli hodinu. Zato při slušné rozpravě je třeba našlapovat zlehýnka. Například genderová vyváženost je novodobým požadavkem, a není zcela korektní, je-li například na práci v kamenolomu požadován výhradně muž. Můžeme se setkat s bytostmi, které se identifikují třeba jako kočky, a jsou nesmírně rozladěné, když jim na veřejné toaletě chybí vanička se stelivem. Jakoby se nám starý a srozumitelný svět stavěl trochu na hlavu, na kteroužto polohu se nám nepřivyká lehce. Pokud se Vám tedy v této nezvyklé pozici nestojí pohodlně, klidně svůj trénink na chvíli přerušte, zaujměte polohu tělu příjemnou a zalistujte si v dílku, jež třímáte v prstech. Lubomír Lichý zde shromáždil řadu aforismů na téma žena a muž, pocházejících od klasiků, přátel i lidu. Vše je doplněno a podpořeno autorovým milým kresleným humorem. Manžel: definice pojmu O původu slova manžel nepanuje mezi vědci shoda. Část jich zastává názor, že pochází z francouzského manger „jíst“, zbytek je přesvědčen, že je třeba hledat pramen v německém der Mangel „nedostatek“. Ať už je tedy původní význam manžela „pojídač“ nebo „člověk, kterému něco chybí“, je zřejmé, že jde o součást domácího vybavení značně problematickou, poruchovou a z větší části postradatelnou. Dostaly-li jste se již do té ošemetné situace, že se jeden či více exemplářů ocitlo ve vašem vlastnictví, snad vám pomůže náš upřímně míněný manuál k tomu, že pro něj naleznete alespoň nějaké neškodné využití… Manželka jako zdroj všehomíra Manželka je úžasný vynález matky přírody. Pokud žena jako taková je všeobecně (a právem) považována za subjekt všeho schopný, pak s manželkou zašla příroda ještě dál, až za hranice možného a nemožného. Uzavřením sňatku se z už tak podivuhodného, ale stále přirozeného stvoření, stává stvoření naprosto nadpřirozené…

Ocean, As Much As Rain

Ocean, As Much As Rain

Ocean, as Much as Rain presents for the first time in the English-language world a collection of masterfully translated literary writings by prominent Tibetan writer Tsering Woeser. In these stories, lyrical essays, and poetry, Woeser interweaves texts, photographs, silences, and documentary details. Featuring a distinctively imaginative use of satire and digressive rhetoric, Woeser’s stories bring to life Tibetan characters whose lives are entwined with politics, history, and religion. Woeser illuminates the ruins and places that she has come across during her various sojourns in Chinese-ruled Tibet, reviving sites from the past of her parents and their generation. These writings range from ingenious retellings of cultural encounters and confrontation to insightful commentaries on ecological issues and tourism in Tibet that never shun contradictions, dilemmas, or questions about the future. With an introduction by Fiona Sze-Lorrain and an author interview by editors-translators Sze-Lorrain and Dechen Pemba, Ocean, as Much as Rain is a landmark publication that celebrates the work of a steadfast dissident and a leading Tibetan literary figure of our times.

Nowhere Girl

For Carla Ciccone, the feeling of not quite knowing how to perform adult life was all too familiar. At 39 years old, Carla was finally diagnosed with ADHD after a lifetime of shame and self-blame.

Blank Canvas

Introducing an outstanding new voice in literary fiction: a sensual, sharp, and utterly compelling campus novel about grief, reinvention, and the ripple effects of telling lies If I ever woke up with an ungodly dread - that I could change it all now, turn around, and confess - I ignored it. I had never been good, and there was no point in trying now. On a small liberal arts campus in upstate New York, Charlotte begins her final year with a lie. Her father died over the summer, she says. Heart attack. Very sudden. Charlotte had never been close with her classmates but as she repeats her tale, their expressions soften into kindness. And so she learns there are things worth lying for: attention, affection, and, as she embarks on a relationship with fellow student Katarina, even love. All she needs to do is keep control of the threads that hold her lie - and her life - together. But six thousand miles away, alone in the grey two-up-two-down Staffordshire terrace she grew up in, her father is very much alive, watching television and drinking beer. Charlotte has always kept difficult truths at arm's length, but his resolve to visit his distant daughter might just be the one thing she can't control.

A Mother's Promise

'Mama, it's me.' I held her hand in mine, hoping it would give her the strength to hold on. Finally, she spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. 'Do not cry when I die.' From invasion to liberation, September 1939 to April 1945, as Renee was marched from ghetto to camp, there was one constant. One hand that clutched hers - her mother's.

The strength of Sala's love gave them both something fragile yet beautiful to cling to in an ugly, depraved world. It was her mother who hid Renee, lied to the SS, went right when she was directed left - whose small actions had life-saving consequences. Now, for Renee, the need to share has finally overcome the desire to forget. A Mother's Promise is a love letter to a mother eighty years in the making.
