Beginning Middle End
From the award-winning author of Lost Children Archive, Valeria Luiselli, comes a wondrous new novel about family, time and starting over.
All I had to do, or so I thought, was to answer a simple question: How do I reinvent it, the story, our lives?
A mother and a daughter take off on a road trip after the collapse of a marriage. Their journey begins in Sicily during a summer of rapidly-changing winds, volcanic rumbles and sudden tempests. How do you begin again, the mother wonders, if you got the beginning wrong? The trip soon becomes a quest for origins - not just through their family history, but also further back to a mythical and even geological past.
With her daughter leaving childhood behind and her mother beginning to show signs of dementia, the narrator finds herself at a crossroads. She must now ask herself: How do we situate ourselves deeply in the world while accepting our transience in it? How are a family's memories made and what happens when they disappear?
A road novel, a mother-daughter story, a radical portrait of starting over, in all its forms, Beginning Middle End offers an exhilarating testament to the power of the stories and the loves we hold most dear.
The Good Parts
She erased their past.
He's rewriting their future.
When Landon receives a letter from Rose - the woman he once planned forever with - he learns their love story is over. She's undergone a radical memory-erasing treatment, leaving behind her grief, her past . . . and him. But Landon can't bear to lose the love of his life. If she fell for him once, couldn't she fall for him again?
Now living in Edinburgh, Rose's world is a blank canvas, and she's dating someone new. When Landon re-enters her life as a stranger, they become friends, their lives entwining once more. But what Rose doesn't know is that this new friend carries the weight of everything they once shared: their firsts, their marriage, and the heartbreak they barely survived. And when she starts exhibiting strange symptoms, it becomes clear their history isn't gone - it's just buried. And remembering could come at a devastating cost.
Told in alternating timelines - his from the present, hers from the past - The Good Parts is an achingly poignant story about the people we become across a lifetime, and the quiet grace of learning to let go while holding on to what's worth keeping.
This is one love story you'll never forget.
Žoldnéři fantasie: Piráti z Karibiků
Dnes již zpola zapomenutý romanopisec Robert Louis Stevenson přivedl na scénu piráta Dlouhého Johna Silvera (a v komiksech dodnes figuruje jeho postava dvou tváří dr. Jekyll a pan Hyde). Piráti tak okupují hladinu novodobé dobrodružné literatury, ale daří se jim v i zátočinách fantastiky: skryté poklady střežené nestvůrami a bájná města v džunglích, prokleté předměty i zbraně, strašliví, bezcitní kapitáni (jako Flint).
Uplyne sto dvacet let pirátské literární slávy, než se filmaři rozhodnou Prokletím Černé perly (2003) tématu vzdát čest směsí tradičních klišé (často obracených naruby) okořeněných černým humorem a geniálním hereckým výkonem Johnnyho Deppa. Načež uplyne další čtvrtstoletí a dnes v našem sborníku můžete nahlédnout do vítězného textu na stejné vlně, kde ve strážním koši zírá do dáli elf, poklady jsou stále neměnně prokleté a lodi mají vlastní duši...

Crusader Strategy: Defending the Holy Land
A new look at the crusaders, which shows how they pursued long-term plans and clear strategic goals
Medieval states, and particularly crusader societies, often have been considered brutish and culturally isolated. It seems unlikely that they could develop “strategy” in any meaningful sense. However, the crusaders were actually highly organized in their thinking and their decision making was rarely random.
In this lively account, Steve Tibble draws on a rich array of primary sources to reassess events on the ground and patterns of behavior over time. He shows how, from aggressive castle building to implementing a series of invasions of Egypt, crusader leaders tenaciously pursued long-term plans and devoted single-minded attention to clear strategic goals. Crusader states were permanently on the brink of destruction; resources were scarce and the penalties for failure severe. Intuitive strategic thinking, Tibble argues, was a necessity, not a luxury.
A hamvak királya
Roman Carruthers maga mögött hagyta a kisvárosi életet családja krematóriumának füstjével és lángjaival együtt. Atlantában, pénzügyi tanácsadóként éli felszínes, luxusban tobzódó életét, ám egy nap húga, Neveah azzal hívja, hogy édesapjuk kómába esett egy cserbenhagyásos gázolás után. Hazatérve Roman rájön, hogy a baleset nem a véletlen műve. Az öccse, Dante veszélyes és könyörtelen bűnözőknek tartozik.
A pénzügyi zseni Roman, aki páratlanul bánik a számokkal és mesteri ügyességgel teszi gazdaggá az ügyfeleit, rendelkezik némi félretett pénzzel, amivel kisegíthetné öccsét a bajból. Csakhogy már elfelejtette, milyen az, amikor az ember valódi gengszterekkel találja szemben magát. Hamarosan ráébred, hogy csak egyetlen dolgot ajánlhat fel a testvére megmentéséért: önmagát és sajátos szaktudását.
Miközben a sorscsapások, a véletlenek és a szívfájdalom lángba borítja az életüket, a Carruthers családnak össze kell fognia a túlélésért, máskülönben a világukból csak por és hamu marad. Mert ahogy az apjuk már gyerekkorukban megtanította nekik, semmi sem tart örökké. Egyszer minden el fog égni.
S. A. Cosby új regénye ismét egy letehetetlen déli noir, melyet ezúttal A keresztapa ihletett.

Fragment of a (Knight’s) Forest
Fragment (rytierskeho) lesa spája tri cykly, v ktorých Ivan Štrpka premieta stredoveké putovanie Percevala do súčasnej Európy vlakov, nástupíšť metra, letísk a zaniknutých kín. Básne sa pohybujú v opakujúcom sa slovníku zrkadiel, tieňov, prázdnych rúk a miznúcich postáv, pričom nadväzujú na myslenie Meistera Eckharta a Paula Celana a rozvíjajú mystiku negácie. Štrpkove verše, citlivo prenesené do angličtiny v preklade Johna Minahana, plynule prechádzajú medzi dlhými meditatívnymi pasážami a zhustenou lyrikou a zachytávajú detstvo, exil i nestálosť fotografického obrazu. Výsledkom je poetika neustáleho prechodu, v ktorej sa identita postupne stenčuje až k vlastnému miznutiu a les je zároveň priestorom rytierskej romance i krajinou vnútorného sveta.

Islam
A concise new narrative history of Islam that draws on the transformative insights of recent research to emphasize the diversity and dynamism of the traditionToday’s Muslim world is in upheaval: legalists and mystics engage in intense debates, radical groups invoke Sharia, Muslim immigrants in the West face prejudice and discrimination, and Muslim feminists advocate new interpretations of the Koran. At the same time, Islam is mischaracterized as unitary and unchanging by people ranging from right-wing Western politicians claiming that Islam is incompatible with democracy to conservative Muslims dreaming of returning to the golden age of the prophet. Against this contentious backdrop, this book provides an essential and timely new history of the religion in all its astonishing richness and diversity as it has been practiced by Muslims around the world, from seventh-century Mecca to today. Most popular histories of Islam continue to repeat conventional pietistic accounts. In contrast, John Tolan draws on decades of new historical research that has transformed knowledge of the origins and development of the Muslim faith. He shows how the youngest of the three great monotheisms arose in close contact with Jewish, Christian, and other religious traditions in a mixture of cultures, including Arab, Greek, Persian, and Turkish; how Islam spread across an enormous territory encompassing hundreds of languages and cultures; how Muslims have forged widely different beliefs and practices over fourteen centuries; and how Islamic history provides crucial context for understanding contemporary debates in the Muslim world. At a time when much talk about Islam is filled with misunderstanding, stereotypes, and bias, this book provides a fresh and lucid portrait of the continuous and ongoing transformations of a religion of tremendous variety and complexity.
Most Honorable Son
The first and only comprehensive biography of unjustly forgotten war hero Ben Kuroki, a Japanese American farm boy from Nebraska who flew fifty-eight combat missions during World War II while battling racism, injustice, and prejudice on the home front.WINNER OF THE NEBRASKA BOOK AWARD With a foreword by Naomi Ostwald Kawamura of Densho. Introduction by William Fujioka of JANM. Afterword by Jonathan Eig.Ben Kuroki was a 24-year-old Japanese American farm boy whose heritage was never a problem in remote Nebraska—until Pearl Harbor. Among the millions of Americans who flocked to military stations to enlist, Ben wanted to avenge the attack, reclaim his family honor, and prove his patriotism. But as anti-Japanese sentiment soared, Ben had to fight to be allowed to fight for America. And fight he did.As a gunner on Army Air Forces bombers, Ben flew 58 missions spanning Europe, North America, and the Pacific, including the climactic B-29 firebombing campaign against Japan that culminated in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In between his harrowing combat tours, he challenged FDR’s shameful incarceration of more than a 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry in America. In the euphoric wake of America’s victory, the decorated war hero used his national platform to carry out what he called his “fifty-ninth mission,” urging his fellow Americans to do more to eliminate bigotry and racism at home.Ben’s extraordinary story is a quintessentially American one of patriotism, principle, perseverance, and courage. It’s about being in the vanguard of history, the bonding of a band of brothers united in a just cause, a timeless and unflinching account of racial bigotry, and one man’s transcendent sense of belonging—in war, in peace, abroad, and at home.

Velké dějiny zemí Koruny české svazek XIX. (1968)
Dobová levice litovala, že pokus nasadit socialismu lidskou tvář skončil pod pásy tanků. Historik sice nemůže spekulovat, co by tento experiment přinesl, i tak je ovšem látka roku 1968 natolik bohatá, že vydá na celý svazek Velkých dějin zemí Koruny české.
Klíčových momentů, které příběh „osmašedesátého“ ženou vpřed, je mnoho: dva měsíce trvá odcházení Antonína Novotného z funkce prvního tajemníka, propuká Šejnova aféra, zaniká cenzura a vládnoucí strana ztrácí moc nad médii. Vzniká Akční program KSČ a krystalizují parametry nově vznikajícího politického systému, pootevírají se hranice na Západ, překotně se vyostřují československo-sovětské vztahy.
Devatenáctý svazek Velkých dějin sleduje, jak se demokratizační proces z podstatné části vymyká stranické kontrole, vedení státu bojuje za reformu na dvou frontách – doma a v socialistickém táboře – a nakonec čelí invazi, únosu do Moskvy a brutálnímu nátlaku „spojenců“. Autor hodnotí obsah tzv. moskevského protokolu a důsledky podpisu československé reprezentace. Zajímá ho však i to, jak na tyto dramatické události reagoval Západ.
