Leonce a Lena/ Vojcek


37. svazek edice D obsahuje dvě významná díla pozoruhodného německého autora, který předstihl svou dobu a vrcholného uznání si dobyl až dlouho po své smrti. „Pohádkový" příběh Leonce a Lena překypuje břitkým kritickým humorem, drama Vojcek má hluboké sociální kořeny a je hlubokou psychologickou sondou do duše vojáka Vojcka, který se nedokáže vyrovnat s bídou materiální, společenskou i morální. Vychází ve znamenitém překladu L. Kundery.

Chinatown


A selection of the best short stories by Oh Jung-hee, one of South Korea's most influential writers In this emblematic selection of her stories, Oh Jung-hee probes beneath the surface of seemingly quotidian lives to expose nightmarish family configurations warped by desertion, psychosis, and death. In 'Chinatown' a young girl living on the edge of the city's Chinese community comes of age among mundane violences, collisions with adult sexuality and the American occupation; in 'The Garden Party' a woman grapples with her conflicting identities of wife, mother and writer at an alcohol-fuelled gathering. Throughout a career spanning six decades, Oh Jung-hee has drawn comparisons to Alice Munro, Virginia Woolf, and Joyce Carol Oates, and is assuredly a trailblazing writer.

Kniha nového slunce 5: Urth Nového Slunce


V Knize Nového Slunce sepsal Severián Veliký, autarcha Společenství a právoplatný vládce Urthu, kroniku svého osudu až do chvíle, kdy nastoupil dalekou plavbu a na palubě nejzvláštnějšího plavidla v celém vesmíru se vydal čelit nejtěžší zkoušce svého života. Nyní se nám dostává do rukou jeho zpráva o dobrodružstvích a záhadách, které jeho cestu provázely, o samotné zkoušce, již podstoupil jménem celého lidstva, a prazvláštním putování po místech považovaných za nadobro ztracená… Gene Wolfe se po dovršení Knihy Nového Slunce ještě naposledy vrací k postavě Severiána a přímočaře zodpovídá mnohé otázky, jejichž řešení si čtenáři tetralogie mohli pouze domýšlet. Nebyl by to však on, kdyby na oplátku nepřidal vrchovatou porci nových tajemství a nerozmáchl se k alegorii přesahující nejen čas, ale i celý vesmír, jak jej známe.

The Terror


Hailed by STEPHEN KING as 'a brilliant, massive combination of history and supernatural horror'. And made into an acclaimed, chilling 10-part Ridley Scott-produced BBC TV series Hailed as the most advanced scientific enterprise ever mounted, Sir John Franklin's 1845 expedition in search of the fabled North-West Passage had every expectation of triumph. But for almost two years his ships HMS Terror and Erebus have been trapped in the Arctic ice. Supplies of fuel and food are running low.
