Když jedné zimní noci cestující
ISBN: 9788073638337 / Czeski / 2017 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Román Když jedné zimní noci cestující je rafinovaným beletristickým dílem, je to „kniha o knihách“, i o sobě samé. Kombinují se zde dvě narativní linky – tou první je příběh Čtenáře a Čtenářky, druhou tvoří úvodní kapitoly deseti románů, které se mezi sebou rozmanitými způsoby proplétají, a tím vyvolávají napětí a neustále živí čtenářovu zvědavost. Calvinovi se tak do struktury jednoho románu podařilo zakomponovat fragmenty různých prozaických žánrů, které napodobuje a paroduje. Četba této neobvyklé knihy vyvolává otázky po...

Zamek krzyżujących się losów
ISBN: 9788381967334 / Polski / twarda / 2025 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Zamek krzyżujących się losów to powieść podzielona na dwie części. Każda opisuje spotkanie podróżnych, którzy z niewiadomych przyczyn nie mogą porozumiewać się za pomocą głosu, a jedynym sposobem opowiadania o swoich losach jest przedstawianie ich za pomocą kart tarota. Narrator dokonuje interpretacji tych historii, nawiązując do klasyków literatury, takich jak Ludovico Ariosto czy William Szekspir. Wykładane na stół karty tworzą misterną konstrukcję, a losy podróżnych splatają się ze sobą, przez co można je interpretować w sposób odmienny niż sugerowany...

Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another.
