John Williams Knihy

John Williams cítil, že je něco jinak, že nejsou jako jiná dvojice otec a syn. Jejich svět byl prostě jiný, a ani oni, ani jejich rodina nevěděli proč. Dlouhou dobu jim dokonce i lékaři tvrdili, že je všechno v pořádku, jenže se mýlili. U Johnova syna byl později diagnostikován autismus a spastická diplegie a teprve tehdy začaly přicházet odpovědi. Toto je příběh jednoho otce a jednoho syna, kteří se vzájemně učí žít své životy, příběh kde nechybí radost, láska, legrace a touha být součástí společnosti.

William Stoner se narodí na konci devatenáctého století v Missouri do nesmírně chudé farmářské rodiny. Rodiče ho pošlou studovat zemědělství na místní univerzitu, ale mladý William se místo toho zamiluje do anglické literatury a oblíbí si univerzitní život, který je pravým opakem žebrácké dřiny, jakou poznal do té doby. Přesto ho ale během následujících let potká celá řada neúspěchů: svatba s dívkou ze „slušné“ rodiny způsobí odcizení mezi ním a rodiči; jeho kariéra je v troskách; žena a dcera se od něj chladně odvrátí; osvěžující zkušenost s novou láskou skončí hrozbou skandálu. Stoner se ještě víc uzavře do sebe, znovu objeví stoické mlčení předků a čelí nezbytné samotě. Průzračný a hluboce dojemný román Johna Williamse je dílem nenápadné dokonalosti. William Stoner z něj vyčnívá nejen jako typický Američan, ale i nepravděpodobný existenciální hrdina, a jako postava z obrazu Edwarda Hoppera z něj vystupuje jako temný reliéf na pozadí nemilosrdného světa.

Závěr trilogie Stránky světa Svět bibliomantů je ohrožen novým děsivým nebezpečím. Jedno refugium za druhým je pohlcováno neznámou silou.

Protože jestli se brzy nedostane z podivného mezisvěta, kam byla uvržena, nejspíš nezbyde žádný svět, kam by se mohla vrátit.

Set in Cardiff in the first year of the new century, female pimp, Bobby Ranger, decides that it is finally time to track down the father who abandoned her mother before she was born. Local journalist Pete Duke, having fully embraced a midlife crisis, must decide whether he wants to further upset his cosy world and follow what could possibly be the story of his lifetime. Business entrepeneur Leslie St Clair has many successful projects across the city, but will what could possibly be his last attempt at really making it big be scuppered by revelations about his less than salubrious past?

Back in the day, though, he was a player. Deryck's a copper. And he's back in the last place he ever wanted to be. That's Cardiff, Wales. Used to be a docks town, used to be a steel town, used to have a place called Temperance Town. Not any more. Now it's a 24 hour non-stop party town. Mikey loves it that way. The Colonel liked it better before. Deryck never liked it either way. In turn funny and poignant, brutal and tender, Temperance Town follows three guys, their lovers, their kids and their mates, all trying to make sense of their lives in a world that makes less sense every day.
