Detaily


Presvedčivá, jemne prepracovaná úvaha o význame medziľudských vzťahov a o tom, ako sú ľudia, ktorí zohrali významnú úlohu v našom živote, prepojení s predmetmi oživujúcimi spomienky. Žena sa zmieta na lôžku vo vysokej horúčke. Zrazu zatúži znovu si prečítať istý román. Je v ňom venovanie od priateľky Johanny, ktorá sa stala slávnou moderátorkou. Ako listuje v knihe, v jej mysli sa vynárajú spomienky. V horúčke spomína na ďalších blízkych ľudí zo svojej minulosti, na priateľku Niki, ktorá stelesňovala „dobrodružstvo, ustavične prebiehajúcu drámu, kde nič nebolo statické a nedalo sa predvídať“, na Alejandra, ktorý sa objavil ako hurikán a zanechal po sebe viac ako len spomienku. Napokon nás zoznámi s Birgittou, ženou, ktorá od ranej mladosti bojovala s úzkosťou, a práve jej príbeh môže byť kľúčom, ktorý odkryje tajomstvá celého románu. Autorka veľmi originálne podáva svoje spomienky: ľudí si nepamätá podľa informácií alebo dátumov, ale na základe chvíľ strávených s nimi a podľa drobných nezabudnuteľných detailov. Motto tejto neopakovateľnej knihy znie: „Žiadny začiatok a žiadny koniec, žiadna zvláštna chronológia, iba okamihy a to, čo v nich vzniká.“ Detaily sú románom postaveným na štyroch portrétoch a tisícoch maličkostí, z ktorých sa skladá každodenný život.

A lányod vagyok


"Nem tudom, ki vagy te, és miért jöttél ide - mondom, és az Abire szegeződő ujjam ugyanúgy remeg, mint a hangom. - De az biztos, hogy nem vagy a lányom. Nem Abigail vagy." Tizennégy évvel ezelőtt a családi nyaralásunk tragédiával végződött, amikor a tengerparton elrabolták a négyéves kislányunkat. Csak egy pillanatra néztem félre, és ezt soha nem bocsátom meg magamnak. Ma egy tizenhét éves lány sétált be a házunkhoz közeli rendőrőrsre, azt állítva, hogy ő a lányom. Abigail visszatért, és ez hihetetlen. De valami nem stimmel. Bármennyire is próbálkozom, nem ismerem fel a lányomat az előttem álló tinédzserben. A története sem áll össze teljesen, furcsa akcentussal beszél, és mintha színlelné a sírást az újságírók előtt. Egyre biztosabb vagyok benne, hogy ő nem az én lányom. Hanem egy idegen. És hogy nem bízhatunk benne... De ha ez a titokzatos lány nem Abigail, akkor ki ő - és mit akar a családomtól? "

Less Than Zero


In 1985, years before American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis shocked, stunned and disturbed the world with his debut novel, Less Than Zero. This 40th anniversary edition of the cult classic novel contains an introduction by Rachel Kushner, the Booker Prize-nominated author of Creation Lake and The Mars Room. Eighteen-year-old Clay has come home to LA for Christmas break after his first term at college. Clay is three things: rich, bored, and looking to get high. Reacquainting himself with a world of privilege and limitless indulgence, Clay steps back into the hedonism and moral depravity of his life in California. With its relentless scenes of grotesque brutality, Less Than Zero is an unflinching portrait of a lost generation in revolt. Published when he was just twenty-one, Less Than Zero held an excoriating mirror up to the culture of excess and vapidity of 1980s Los Angeles and made Bret Easton Ellis an instant literary sensation.
