Román nositeľa Nobelovej ceny za literatúru v roku 1976.
Literárny vedec profesor Moses Herzog je na pokraji úplného nervového zrútenia. Konflikty medzi ním a spoločnosťou, jeho najbližším okolím a v ňom samom sa vyhrocujú a on cíti, že musí definitívne uzavrieť istú epochu života. Príznaky ťažkej psychózy sa u Herzoga prejavujú skladaním skutočných aj imaginárnych listov rôznym adresátom (od testinej až po prezidenta Spojených štátov), ale i častými a nepremyslenými útekmi raz od milenky, inokedy od priateľov, a napokon nepodareným dobrodružstvom s revolverom. Ústredným psychickým problémom Herzoga je stroskotané manželstvo, ale spolu s ním akoby skrachoval celý svet: Bellow prostredníctvom svojho protagonistu zúfalo bojuje o záchranu svojprávnosti individuálneho ja pred bezduchou uniformitou, ktorá naň dolieha zo všetkých strán, skúma otázky slobody konania a osobnej zodpovednosti človeka a predovšetkým neriešiteľnú dilemu intelektuála, ktorého existencia závisí od fungovania komplikovaného mechanizmu mnohonásobných zviazaností a konvencií, čo udržujú pri živote modernú spoločnosť, a ktorého práve táto mnohonásobná zviazanosť ubíja. Je takmer príznakom alebo chorobou našich čias, že človek zlyháva vo svojich najsúkromnejších vzťahoch a najzúrivejšia búrka lomcuje jeho mikrokozmom práve tam, kde by podľa zákonov prírody mal nachádzať stabilitu a ochranu. |

The memoir of the Maharani of Jaipur.
She is the daughter of the Maharaja of Cooch Behar and the widow of the Maharaja of Jaipur. She was raised in a sumptuous palace staffed with 500 servants and she shot her first panther when she was twelve. She has appeared on the lists of the world s most beautiful women. Gayatri Devi describes her carefree tomboy childhood, her secret six-year courtship with the dashing, internationally renowned polo player, Jai the Maharaja of Jaipur, and her marriage and entrance into the City Palace of the pink city where she had to adjust to unfamiliar customs and life with his two wives. Jai s liberating influence, combined with Gayatri Devi s own strong character, took her well beyond the traditionally limited activities of a Maharani. This is an intimate look at the extraordinary life of one of the world s most fascinating women and an informal history of the princely states of India, from the height of the princes power to their present state of de-recognition. |

Jason Freeman has gotten used to the fact that beneath its glamorous surface, DeVere Heights is full of unexpected secrets. And vampires. Then just when he thinks he s golden, he s attacked. With a crossbow.
At first the attention Jason gets from his crush, Sienna, makes the wound almost worthwhile -- especially after she breaks up with Brad. But the crossbow-wielding lunatic isn t finished, and his next victim is found dead with a bolt through the heart.
As tensions rise at DeVere High, suspicions about the attacker point to pretty much anyone. There s something cold and hard in Brad s eyes-the look of a killer? Nah.... |

| Following the success of The Memory Game, Killing Me Softly is Nicci French s third novel--a genuinely compelling, often compulsive, study of love and violence. French is prepared to risk romantic fantasy: the chance encounter with a beautiful man in the street:--"He was wearing black jeans and a black leather jacket, and then I looked up at his face"- -who draws Alice, the narrator, away from her lover and her life. " ‘Please ," he said then, still not taking his eyes off my face. ‘Will you come with me? " Adam Tallis is a hero: a sexual hero, certainly, but also a man--a climber--who has saved lives. Or has he? Told in continuous flashback, we know from the start of this novel that something has gone wrong, but what, why and who will remain in question. Adam is a seducer--a dangerous one--and French uses him to explore the devastation of requited love (what happens to a modern woman if she does marry an ideal?). But just how dangerous he is, who is threatened most by this passion, is part of the puzzle and intelligence of this book, right up to, and beyond, its remarkable conclusion.-- Vicky Lebeau --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. |

Cat and Mouse
Penguin Books 1970
Cena: 0.90 €

To compensate for his unusually large Adam’s apple—source of both discomfort and distress—fourteen year old Joachim Mahlke turns himself into athlete and ace diver. Soon he is known to his peers and his nation as “The Great Mahlke”. But to his enemies, he remains a target. He is different and doomed in a country scarred by the war.
Cat and Mouse was first published in 1961, two years after Gunter Grass’ controversial and applauded masterpiece, The Tin Drum. Once again Grass turns his attention on Danzig. With a subtle blend of humour and power, Cat and Mouse ostensibly relates the rise of Mahlke from clown to hero. But Mahlke’s outlandish antics hide the darkness at the heart of a nation torn by Nazi violence, the war and its aftermath. |
