Kto z nás - Claudia Pineiro

Zbierka Kto z nás nám predstavuje argentínsku prozaičku Claudiu Pineiro, hviezdu latinskoamerickej detektívnej prózy. Jej poviedky zobrazujú na prvý pohľad všedných ľudí, ktorí sa ocitli v mimoriadnych situáciách. Rodičov, ktorí prišli o dieťa; dcéru, ktorú rodičia nikdy nepovažovali za dosť dobrú; mladíka, čo nechtiac zrazil dieťa a ušiel z miesta činu; manželku, ktorá sa po smrti muža dozvedá o jeho dvojakom živote. Celkom obyčajné postavy sa zrazu pod tlakom okolností zachovajú zdanlivo nepochopiteľne. Lenže kto z nás sa nikdy nesprával čudne?Autorka v jednotlivých príbehoch precízne buduje napätie a vytvára rôznorodú paletu uhrančivých scén, ktoré sa síce odohrávajú v Argentíne, no sú univerzálne zrozumiteľné a zaujímavé aj pre európskeho čitateľa.Zbierka v preklade Barbary Sigmundovej vychádza v edícii -klad, ktorá sa zameriava na kvalitnú svetovú beletriu.Číslo vydania 1Jazyky slovenskýPočet strán 168Dátum uvedenia titulu 2021-07-16Rozmery 202x155x16Hmotnosť 333gTypKnihy viazané

A lány a Savoyból

Van, hogy az élet gyapjúharisnyát ad csak az embernek. Van, hogy földig érő Chanelt… Dolly Lane igazi álmodozó; a kizsigerelt cselédlány minden vágya, hogy egy londoni színpadon táncolhasson, ám életét kettétöri a Nagy Háború. Egykori katonaszerelme után maradt emlékei, eltitkolt szégyene és fájdalmas veszteségei arra ösztökélik, hogy szerencsét próbáljon egy jobb élet reményében. Amikor London egyik legjobb szállodájában, a Savoyban kap szobalányi állást, egy lépéssel közelebb kerül álmaihoz, a pezsgő, a jazz és a lázadás bűvöletében élő ifjú nemzedékhez. Ám a csillogó életet csak a partvonalról szemlélheti, észrevétlennek, jelentéktelennek kell maradnia. Egy hirdetés nyomán azonban hamarosan a londoni színházi élet lélegzetelállító nyüzsgésében találja magát, olyan ünnepelt sztárok között, mint Loretta May és fivére, Perry, akiknek bár látszólag mindenük megvan, szintén keresnek valamit. A valóságos és a megálmodott világ között húzódó szakadék peremén egyensúlyozó Dollyra nehéz döntések várnak: két férfi, két társadalmi osztály és két, egymással szöges ellentétben álló életforma között kell választania. Az egyik a mindennapjait tölti ki, a másik az álmait teljesíti. A fényes jövő csábítóan közel van; de vajon képes szakítani a múltjával egy Dollyhoz hasonló lány? Hazel Gaynor lenyűgöző történelmi regénye úgy pezseg, mint a legfinomabb pezsgő, és épp olyan izgalmas, mint a Nagy Háború utáni korszak.

Enlightenment

This magisterial history--sure to become the definitive work on the subject--recasts the Enlightenment as a period not solely consumed with rationale and reason, but rather as a pursuit of practical means to achieve greater human happiness.One of the formative periods of European and world history, the Enlightenment is the fountainhead of modern secular Western values: religious tolerance, freedom of thought, speech and the press, of rationality and evidence-based argument. Yet why, over three hundred years after it began, is the Enlightenment so profoundly misunderstood as controversial, the expression of soulless calculation? The answer may be that, to an extraordinary extent, we have accepted the account of the Enlightenment given by its conservative enemies. Ritchie Robertson goes back into the "long eighteenth century," from approximately 1680 to 1790,

John Henry Newman and His Age

Many books exist devoted to the life, thought, and writings of Blessed John Henry Newman, the premier Catholic theologian in nineteenth-century England. His influence has been enormous, perhaps especially on Vatican II (1962-65). This book is a Newman primer, and not only a primer about Newman himself, but also about his time and place in church history. It attends to the papacy during his lifetime, his companions and friends, some of his peers at Oxford University, the First Vatican Council (1869-70), as well as some of his writing and theology. It should be especially helpful to an interested reader who has no particular background in nineteenth-century church history or in Newman
