Anthony Thwaite Knihy

Spanning forty-five years in the poet's life and encompassing more than seven hundred letters, this collection of Larkin's writings includes his correspondence with Kingsley Amis, Barbara Pym, Robert Conquest, his editors, and many others.

Now that he is eighty-four, Anthony Thwaite says that Going Out is likely to be the last book of poems he publishes in his lifetime, and that the title is apt. The poems range over times and places, commemorating friends (especially the poet Peter Porter), and draw on memories, hard-won faith, self- questioning.

Annotation This new edition of Larkin's poems for the first time presents his four published books, The North Ship, The Less Deceived, The Whitsun Weddings and High Windows in their original sequence.

Claudia Hamptonová, slavná spisovatelka a historička, je na prahu smrti. Ještě však neřekla své poslední slovo. Claudia je silná a nezávislá žena. Dětství strávila v předválečné Británii, působila jako válečná zpravodajka v Káhiře a vydobyla si místo v čistě mužské disciplíně — historii. Roky ubíhaly a její život se postupně prolnul s osudy dalších lidí. Nalezla i ztratila pravou lásku, porodila dceru, kterou nedokázala milovat, měla milence, kterému se nedalo věřit, a bratra, jehož zbožňovala. Teď leží na nemocničním lůžku a v duchu sepisuje „historii světa a zároveň s ní i tu svou“. Je nemilosrdnou kritičkou všeho a všech, ale jako profesionální historička nechává promlouvat i ostatní zúčastněné, kteří tak spolu s ní vyprávějí příběh jejího života.
