Anthony Thwaite Pořadí knih

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.

A collection of verse that contains poetry from the earliest, primitive period, through the Nara, Heian, Kamakura, Muromachi and Edo periods, ending with modern poetry from 1868 onwards.

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.

Since its publication in 1988, Philip Larkin's Collected Poems has become essential reading on any poetry bookshelf. This new edition returns to Larkin's own deliberate ordering of his poems, presenting, in their original sequence, his four published books: The North Ship, The Less Deceived, The Whitsun Weddings and High Windows. It also includes an appendix of poems that Larkin published in other places, from his juvenilia to his final years - some of which might have appeared in a late book, if he had lived. Preserving everything that he published in his lifetime, this new Collected Poems returns the reader to the book Larkin might have intended.

The book, first published in 1996, explores significant themes and concepts relevant to its field. It is published by Routledge, a well-known imprint of Taylor & Francis, which specializes in academic literature. The content is designed to provide in-depth analysis and insights, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals.
