Tomáš Hrách Volgorde van de boeken

Trilogie autorových antirománů je poeticko-filozofickou úvahou o smyslu života. Trilogie Molloy, Malone umírá a Nepojmenovatelný má v Beckettově prozaickém díle stejně zásadní postavení jako Čekání na Godota či Konec hry v jeho díle určeném pro divadelní scénu. Radikální "antirománová" forma, spojená s rozpadem vypravěčského vědomí a stále vyhrocenější anonymitou, se jedinečným způsobem pojí se skeptickým a černým humorem. Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.

In this unforgettable novel, Leonard Cohen boldly etches the youth and early manhood of Lawrence Breavman, only son of an old Jewish family in Montreal. Life for Breavman is made up of dazzling colour – a series of motion pictures fed through a high-speed projector: the half-understood death of his father; the adult games of love and war, with their infinite capacity for fantasy and cruelty; his secret experiments with hypnotism; the night-long adventures with Krantz, his beloved comrade and confidant. Later, achieving literary fame as a college student, Breavman does penance through manual labour, but ultimately flees to New York. And although he has loved the bodies of many women, it is only when he meets Shell, whom he awakens to her own beauty, that he discovers the totality of love and its demands, and comes to terms with the sacrifices he must make.

Outcast, mute, a lone twin cut from a drunk mother in a shack full of junk, Euchrid Eucrow of Ukulore inhabits a nightmarish Southern valley of preachers and prophets, incest and ignorance. When the God-fearing folk of the town declare a foundling child to be chosen by the Almighty, Euchrid is disturbed. He sees her very differently, and his conviction, and increasing isolation and insanity, may have terrible consequences for them both. . . Compelling and astonishing in its baroque richness, Nick Cave's acclaimed first novel is a fantastic journey into the twisted world of Deep Southern Gothic tragedy.

Роман классика японской литературы посвящен реальным историческим событиям XVI века, когда в Японии шла жестокая борьба за власть между разрозненными самурайскими кланами. В центре романа – жизнь легендарного воина Тоётоми Хидэёси, прошедшего путь от сына простого крестьянина до военного правителя Японии. Сам император пожаловал ему высший придворный титул – тайко. Хидэёси, став самураем, провел лучшие годы жизни в бесконечных сражениях, совершенствуя военное мастерство, и в конце концов объединил отдельные княжества и укрепил свое владычество над страной. Его щедрое покровительство наукам и искусствам на закате дней привело к возникновению феномена, названного впоследствии японским Возрождением.Роман Э. Ёсикавы полностью вписывается в традиции японской литературы.
