The Virago Book of Friendship
A fond, fascinated look at women''s friendship through the fiction, diaries, and letters of friends''A highly entertaining, often instructive anthology bursting with every kind of amicable - or inimical - anecdote . . . Cooke has dug deep and uncovered nuggets of pure gold in every form of writing . . . a delicious book about the great power and strength of real friendship'' TABLET Friendship, a timeless subject, has never been more debated, something that has to do both with the internet - the perils of WhatsApp groups, the agony of ghosting - as well as with a growing awareness that loneliness is increasing in our society. Friendship has become a matter of urgent inquiry to therapists, scientists and sociologists. We understand its importance more and more, not only as a comfort and a privilege, but as vital to our health. But it''s hard to get inside friendship: its particular intensity and its miraculous ease; its tendency to wax and wane; its ability to inspire both delight and despair. This is the territory of novels and poems, diaries and letters, comics and graphic novels - and it is where the innovative and wide ranging Virago Book of Friendship steps in, bringing together work by more than 100 writers. From Jane Austen to Edith Wharton and Virginia Woolf, from Dolly Alderton to Sarah Waters and Meg Wolitzer and, it celebrates and investigates friendship between women from first encounters to final goodbyes, from falling out to making up again.''A treasure chest'' THE TIMES''An uplifting anthology'' HARPER''S BAZAAR''A fascinating document'' LITERARY REVIEW''An exhilaratingly wide array'' SPECTATOR

Empty Wigs
‘Go to Empty Wigs for prose that never ceases to dazzle, for an extended holiday from contemporary pieties and to disgrace yourself with laughter’ Paul Genders, Literary ReviewEmpty Wigs is a hallucinatory ride through the twentieth century that will cement Jonathan Meades as one of the great imaginative writers of our age. It moves from bloody Algiers in 1962 to the Welsh Marches in the late nineteenth century, from Lüneburg Heath to suburban southern England. Its characters are damned and doomed. They exert free will so make terrible choices. Their appetites are base. Their lives are without end. They lurch to extremes. From euthanasia to terrorism and political assassination, with secrets and betrayals, great gothic houses and pseudo-scientific experiments, Empty Wigs is a vast compendium of tales from the jungle of existence which show humankind at its most abject. Many of its stories are bleak, perverse, harrowing. Many are tragically farcical. But the writing is neon-rich, gorgeous and baroque, funny and joyfully offensive. Told through frames within frames, mazes within mazes, colliding narratives and quick changing moods, Empty Wigs is a late modern masterpiece and a return to the novel’s origins. ‘Loudly immoral, deafeningly well written and indiscriminately offensive, Meades’s novel is a breath of filthy air in a puritanical age’ Cosmo Adair, The Times‘Meades finds the mot juste, the striking reference, to complete every brilliant line. Is it all a bit too much? Reader, it is’ Stephen Smith, The Observer‘A head-spinning turn that can quicken from high farce into deep seriousness, vaulting across time and space’ Chris Harvey, Daily Telegraph
Pod jiným jménem
Mladá dramatička Melina Greenová právě napsala novou hru inspirovanou životem své alžbětinské předkyně Emilie Bassanové. Ale že by se dočkala jejího uvedení? To je v divadelním světě, kde ženy nemívají stejnou startovní čáru jako muži, nepravděpodobné. A tak se Melinina kamarádka rozhodne poslat hru na festival pod mužským pseudonymem. V roce 1581 je Emilia Bassanová chráněnkou anglických šlechticů. A ačkoli je velmi duchaplná a má vypravěčský talent, jako většina žen své doby nemá vlastní hlas. Když je donucena stát se milenkou vlivného lorda, Emilia díky němu poprvé vidí, co dokážou slova dramatiků. Rozhodne se tedy tajně dostat na jeviště svou hru – tím, že zaplatí herci jménem William Shakespeare, aby ji uvedl pod svým jménem. Autorka ve dvou prolínajících se časových rovinách – i s pomocí autentických historických pramenů – rozvíjí působivý příběh ambicí, odvahy a odhodlání, příběh dvou žen, které sice dělí staletí, ale spojuje je touha nedbat předsudků a moci svobodně tvořit.

The gods are dead. All that's left are the Players . . .
The performers of the Playhouse are as worshipped as they are feared, their enchanting shows bending hearts, minds, and even reality itself. Vicious, godlike, lethal. Eighteen-year-old Riven Hesper knows the dangers better than anyone, after her own encounter with a Player resulted in a curse that is slowly killing her.
When the Playhouse announces the spectacle of a lifetime - a chance for one mortal to steal a Player's immortality - Riven sees her last chance to live. Desperate for answers, she infiltrates the competition. There, she finds Jude, the Playhouse's brilliant, merciless Lead Player, whose charm is as dangerous as his Craft, and strikes a deadly bargain to save her life.
But with time running out and the Playhouse's secrets unraveling into a disturbing picture, Riven faces a grim possibility: she might not be the hero of her story after all. In fact, she may be the villain.
Because the Playhouse doesn't just tell stories. It rewrites them.
And Riven's might end in blood.

Emmie Arbel
Arrested with her family in the Netherlands, deported by the Nazis to Ravensbru¨ck and Bergen-Belsen, and orphaned – all by the age of seven – Emmie Arbel survived the camps, only to face a new ordeal of suffering in what should have been a place of refuge. Traumatized as a child by violence, abuse, and isolation, she has transformed her survival into an inspirational lifelong mission both to bear witness to the Holocaust, and to celebrate the enduring resilience of the human spirit. Working closely with Emmie herself, the acclaimed German graphic artist Barbara Yelin has created an unforgettable “visual biography” of this remarkable woman: her rebellious independence, her indomitable humour, the wisdom of her contemplation. Emmie Arbel: The Colour of Memory is at once a haunting portrayal of a historical atrocity, an inspiring account of a modern friendship, a beautiful work of art, and a meditation on memory itself. This graphic novel was developed as part of the Survivor-Centred Visual Narratives Project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
