Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Gertrude and Claudius are the "villains" of Hamlet: he the killer of Hamlet's father and usurper of the Danish throne; she his lusty consort, who marries Claudius before her late husband's body is cold. But in this imaginative "prequel" to the play, John Updike makes a case for the royal couple that Shakespeare only hinted at. Gertrude and Claudius are seen afresh against a background of fond intentions and family dysfunction, on a stage darkened by the ominous shadow of a sullen, erratic, disaffected prince. "I hoped to keep the texture light," Updike said of this novel, "to move...

Převrat
ISBN: 9788088445081 / Czeski / 2022 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Paměti fanatického diktátora smyšlené země v subsaharské Africe, jehož tepou všechny čtyři manželky i milenka, českým čtenářům připomenou, proč americký spisovatel John Updike hned dvakrát získal Pulitzerovu cenu.
Kniha dosvědčuje, že základem dobrého humoru je schopnost dělat si legraci ze sebe samých. Pobaví autorskou nadsázkou, sžíravou obrazností, vytříbeným jazykovým mistrovstvím i pohledem na světové dění. Strhující groteska z dob, kdy literaturu ještě tolik nespoutávala politická korektnost, neváhá glosovat ideologie všeho...
