The Eleventh Hour


If old age was thought of as an evening, ending in midnight oblivion, they were well into the eleventh hour. Two quarrelsome old men in Chennai, India, experience private tragedy against the backdrop of national calamity. Revisiting the Bombay neighbourhood of Midnight's Children, a magical musician is unhappily married to a multibillionaire. In an English university college, an undead academic asks a lonely student to avenge his former tormentor. These five dazzling works of fiction move between the three countries that Salman Rushdie has called home – India, England and America – and explore what it means to approach the eleventh hour of life. They are the reckoning with mortality that we all must one day make, and speak deeply to what the author has come from and through. Do we accommodate ourselves to death, or rail against it? How can we bid farewell to the places that we have made home? How do we achieve fulfilment with our lives if we don't know the end of our own stories? The Eleventh Hour ponders life and death, legacy and identity with the penetrating insight and boundless imagination that have made Salman Rushdie one of the most celebrated writers of our time. ‘More than 40 years after Midnight's Children, there is still nobody who spins a yarn quite like Salman Rushdie’ Spectator ‘Rushdie has not just enlarged literature’s capacities, he has expanded the world’s imaginative possibilities’ The Times ‘Salman Rushdie is a genius’ A.M.

Gyöngéd barbárok


A lírai hangvételű Gyöngéd barbárok című regényében Hrabal egyszerre állít emléket művészbarátainak, a tragikus sorsú, nem sokkal az ország 1968-as megszállását követően öngyilkosságba menekülő festőnek, Vladimír Boudníknak és a költő Egon Bondynak, illetve rajtuk keresztül a háború utáni prágai művészvilág zsúfolt kocsmáiban, őrült figurái között kavargó ifjúságuknak, a művészetbe vetett mámoros hit, a szabadságkeresés megzabolázhatatlanul vad korszakának. A naiv és szenvedélyes Vladimír gyermeki rácsodálkozással szemléli a világot, amelynek legapróbb, leghétköznapibb részletében is ott látja a szépség és a teremtés ígéretét, lehetőségét. Hrabal nem klasszikus emlékiratot ír, mozaikszerűen felvillanó jelenetekből, párbeszédekből építi fel a maga nosztalgikus univerzumát, amelynek varázsát éppen az adja, hogy együtt, egy időben van benne jelen a múlt álomszerű otthonossága és e múlt eltűnésének, elvesztésének szelíd bölcsességgel viselt fájdalma. Ez a csapongó, mégis bensőséges hangulatú regény végső soron arról szól, hogy az ember miként őrizheti meg a szabadságát és a méltóságát egy olyan korban, egy olyan világban, amely egyiket sem tartja fontosnak, sőt.

Giganagy macskajajkönyv


„Vajon mitől olyan titokzatos a másnaposság? Miért tűnik rejtélyesnek, kiismerhetetlennek, megfejthetetlennek, már-már mágikusnak? Talán mert a mámor rokona. A mámor az ő szülőanyja, s az alma rendszerint nem esik messze a fájától. A macskajaj az érem másik oldala, a sötéterő, a bódulat reciprokja. Nem tudjuk, pontosan milyen idős a mámor. Valószínűleg éppen olyan öreg, akár a föld. És a katzenjammer csupán pár órával fiatalabb. S mióta másnaposság létezik, azóta keresi az ember ellene a gyógyírt. Oly ádáz buzgalommal, mint alkimisták az aranyat.” A borral, a mámorral, az eksztázissal már sokan foglalkoztak, de a legkomolyabb gondolkodók is restek voltak ahhoz, hogy mulatozás közben benézzenek az asztal alá, ahol bizony mocskot, üzekedő párokat és görnyedve okádó iszákosokat találunk. Cserna-Szabó András és Darida Benedek magukat sem kímélve hatoltak be a felfedezetlen területre, és megírták a másnaposság regényes kézikönyvét, egyúttal megalkották a katzenjammerológia tudományát is. Ez az alapmű egyetlen kocsmaasztalról sem hiányozhat! A szerzők könyvük 3. (agyonbővített) kiadásában ismertetik a legnagyobb piás művészeket és halhatatlan alkotásaikat, amitől az a szörnyű gyanú ébred bennünk, hogy a remekművek döntő többségét semmirekellő szeszkazánok alkották, macskajajosan fetrengve. Teszik mindezt alapos tárgyi tudással, lelkesedéssel és – a remekművekhez hasonlóan – megfelelő szótagszámmal, remek cselekménnyel, míves nyelvezettel. Miközben végigdülöngélünk a világ- és a hazai művészet vigalmi negyedén, 77 receptet is kapunk ajándékba, hogy hatékonyan vehessük fel a küzdelmet a katzenjammer ellen.
