Adresát Bohuslav Havránek


Edice obsahuje odbornou i přátelskou korespondenci adresovanou Bohuslavu Havránkovi, přednímu lingvistovi 20. století. Zahrnuje období od roku 1924 do roku 1977. Její hlavní část spadá do čtyřicátých a padesátých let 20. století z pera trojice význačných vědců: Františka Trávníčka, Vladimíra Šmilauera a Bohuslava Havránka (jim úspěšně sekunduje lexikograf Alois Získal). Jejich práce, zájmy i osudy se v listech protínají a po válce vyhrocují; tvoří zajímavou i objevnou část celé korespondence a dokumentují, někdy i bouřlivě a bojovně, vývoj české lingvistiky v soudobých měnících se politických poměrech. Druhým tematickým okruhem korespondence jsou pak listy Havránkových žáků: Miloše Dokulila, Karla Horálka, Františka Kopečného a Oldřicha Králíka; jsou zaměřeny individuálněji, a i když zachycují řadu momentů reagujících na společenské události, dotýkají se převážně vědecké práce, často v souvislosti s konzultací či prosbou o pomoc při řešení problémů osobního i profesního charakteru. Kniha vychází k 100. výročí založení Pražského lingvistického kroužku.

Edinburgh: The Autobiography


Relive the history of Edinburgh through the eyes of those who witnessed it. From one of the earliest mentions of its name in the sixth century to the Covid lockdowns of the twenty-first, this is a magnificent portrait of one of the world’s great cities in its many iterations, from ‘Edinburgh, the sink of abomination’ to the Athens of the North and everything – including the home of the Enlightenment, the Festival City, the Aids Capital of Europe and a Mecca for tourists seeking tartan tat – in between. As the nation’s capital it has been critical to its progress and a witness to epochal events, such the tumultuous reign of Mary, Queen of Scots, the Reformation, the Forty-Five rebellion, the Disruption of the Church of Scotland and the reconvening of the Scottish Parliament. All of these and more feature. But this is not simply a book about the great and good, the famous and infamous. There is testimony aplenty from ordinary folk who may not have made their mark on history but who have contributed to Edinburgh’s ever-expanding tapestry. There are stories of body snatching and murder, drunkenness and drug-taking, sex and shopping, as well rants against inclement weather and the city council.

The Poems of Sylvia Plath


'When I think of Sylvia Plath, I am in awe of her intelligence, her language, her wit, her consonantal music - her sheer gift, and what must have been her drive, as its guardian, possessor, possessee, to realise it.' Sharon OldsThe Poems of Sylvia Plath is a landmark publication: the definitive edition of the poet's work for scholars, students and general readers. Sylvia Plath's first Collected Poems was published in 1981. This new volume draws on decades of research and almost doubles the content of that edition. The book is in two parts: the first contains the poems Plath composed in the last ten years of her life and upon which her reputation is founded, and the second includes those poems written in childhood and through her student years. In both sections, the editors have dated, corrected and arranged each poem chronologically, drawing on manuscripts, typescripts and related archival material. Critical notes document and cast new light on Plath's extraordinary evolution as a poet, from her childhood compositions, through the early blossoming of her talent and ambition, and into the molten core that was to shape the poems of her last few years, securing her place in literary history.

Milk Wood Memoir


Milk Wood Memoir, the fourth collection by Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch, opens with a handful of family recollections of Dylan Thomas, including Samantha’s grandfather’s presence in the poet’s house on the night he was shot at in March 1945. Thomas’s wartime sojourn in New Quay in West Wales from 1944 to 1945 was one of the most important creative periods in his life. Many scholars have linked the small coastal town to the imagined Llareggub (buggerall) in which Thomas set his most famous work, Under Milk Wood. New Quay’s present-day poet-resident, Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch, takes up the baton of the guide who never made it into the final version of Thomas’s play, showing us around her hometown through the eyes of its inhabitants past and present. In a series of eco-elegies, she explores how the wood of Under Milk Wood is turning into a floating forest due to coastal erosion. The paths once walked by Dylan Thomas between his bungalow and the pubs of New Quay are slowly collapsing into the sea, taking with them both trees and houses. As the guide takes us along the path she points out moments and monuments, all the while relating various ‘hanes’ (pronounced ha-ness, a Welsh word for stories, gossip) relating to local characters, a sort of family lore handed down the generations. Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch takes us by the hand and shows us the joys and sadnesses, excitements and fears behind the doors of the town she believes is key to Under Milk Wood. ‘Wynne-Rhydderch’s poetry masters a variety of styles, is intelligent, sincere, and deeply human. How lucky we are to have a guide like her’ – Matthew Dickman

The EVOL Algorithm


THE EVOL ALGORITHM by K. M. MOKETHIS IS NOT A DYSTOPIA. IT'S A UTOPIA IN THE MAKING. Matargo and the other children live in paradise, under the watchful eye of their mechs. Until the day they Float. No one talks about what happens after you Float. Or what exactly the giant black sphere of nothingness above them is. Why would they? They've never known a day of fear or suspicion in their lives. Like lambs. Awaiting slaughter. Book One in The EVOL Trilogy. "EVOL is one of the most original, ingenious and intriguing science fiction stories that I have read for a while. In these days of rampant AI and all the attendant worries and alarms that this overwhelming gift or curse is bringing to all humanity, it is comforting and exciting to encounter a story where the developing relationship between an AI and a young human is at the tremulous core of the story."- David Fickling (Editor and publisher of Philip Pullman)

Conversaciones con pajaros


Una exploración de la comunicación con los pájaros y las lecciones que pueden ensenarnos• Discute técnicas específicas del habla de los pájaros y ofrece revelaciones sobre muchas especies• Revisa la larga tradición de la “aviterapia” a través de la historia y en la literatura y las artes• Explica cómo hablar con los pájaros a través de sus cantos restablece la paz, calma la ansiedad y mejora la saludDurante décadas, Alan Powers ha estudiado las vocalizaciones de los pájaros, desarrollando la notable habilidad de imitar sus cantos y lograr que respondan y hasta cambien de tono. A lo largo de sus anos de estudio, ha descubierto que las aves pueden ensenarnos importantes lecciones sobre el mundo y sobre nosotros mismos. Como explica Powers, al crear una comunidad entre especies nos acercamos a una red atemporal de interconexión con toda la vida pasada y presente, lo que Giordano Bruno, filósofo del Renacimiento, llamó en latín Uni-versus, el “Todo convertido en Uno”. Al compartir su experiencia en el aprendizaje del habla de los pájaros y sus amplias observaciones sobre las influencias poéticas, espirituales y sanadoras de sus cantos, Powers explora su antiguo lenguaje y la profundidad de su significado. Explica que, para nosotros, hablar con las aves es como entonar una canción, aunque sus trinos están llenos de urgencias y matices, ya sea que se expresen sobre predadores o sobre el clima. Detalla cómo empezó a descubrir el habla de los pájaros, escuchando uno solo cada verano, para aprender sus muchas vocalizaciones y variaciones. Al discutir técnicas específicas, comparte revelaciones sobre la comunicación de muchas especies, incluyendo el discurso complejo e inteligente de los cuervos, la profundidad emocional de las gavias, la mímica de los arrendajos azules y el bello canto del tordo de madera. Powers explora la metafísica involucrada en el lenguaje de los pájaros y los humanos, y revisa la larga tradición de la aviterapia a través de la historia, la literatura y las artes. Además, comparte la presencia de pájaros en los poemas de Shakespeare y Emily Dickinson y en canciones de amor de todo el mundo, y examina cómo escritores famosos—de la altura de Keats, Catulo, san Francisco de Asís y el historiador francés Jules Michelet—encontraron que hablar con aves mejoraba sus estados mentales. Asimismo, explica que hablar con el lenguaje canoro de los pájaros puede restablecer la paz, calmar la ansiedad y mejorar la salud.
