The definitive collection of nonfiction--from war reporting to literary criticism to the sharpest political writing--from the "legend of American letters" (Vanity Fair) Robert Stone was a singular American writer, a visionary whose award-winning novels--including Dog Soldiers, Outerbridge Reach, and Damascus Gate--earned him comparisons to literary lions ranging from Samuel Beckett to Ernest Hemingway to Graham Greene. Stone had an almost prophetic grasp of the spirit of his age, which he captured with crystalline clarity in each of his novels. Of course, he was also a sharp and brilliant observer of American life, and his nonfiction writing is revelatory. The Eye You See With--the first and only collection of Robert Stone's nonfiction--was carefully selected by award-winning novelist and Stone biographer Madison Smartt Bell. Divided into three sections, the collection includes the best of Stone's war reporting, his writing on social change, and his reflections on the art of fiction. This is an extraordinary volume that offers up a clear-eyed look at the twentieth century and secures Robert Stone's place as one of the most original figures in all of American letters.

In Fun with Problems, Robert Stone demonstrates once again that he is “one of our greatest living writers” (Los Angeles Times). The stories in this new collection share the signature blend of longing, violence, and black humor with which Stone illuminates the dark corners of the human soul. Entire lives are laid bare with remarkable precision, in captivating prose: a screenwriter carries on a decades-long affair with a beautiful actress, whose descent into addiction he can neither turn from nor share; a bored husband picks up a mysterious woman only to find that his ego has led him woefully astray; a world-beating Silicon Valley executive receives an unwelcome guest at his mansion in the hills; a scuba dive guides uneasy newlyweds to a point of no return.Fun with Problems showcases Stone’s great gift: to pinpoint and make real the impulses—by turns violently coercive and quietly seductive—that cause us to conceal, reveal, and betray our truest selves.

Bo chases after the promise of the American dream through Minnesota, the Dakotas, Saskatchewan, Montana, Utah and Nevada, but ultimately there is no escaping the devastating reach of the Depression and his own ruinous fate. In this affecting narrative, a defining masterpiece by the "dean of Western writers" (The New York Times), Wallace Stegner portrays more than three decades in the life of the Mason family as they struggle to survivle during the lean years of the early twentieth century. With an introduction by Robert Stone.

In 1992, Richard Ford edited and introduced the first Granta Book of the American Short Story . It became the definitive anthology of American short fiction written in the last half of the twentieth century—an “exemplary choice” in the words of The Washington Post —with stories by Eudora Welty, John Cheever, Raymond Carver, and forty others demonstrating how much memorable power can lie in the briefest narration. In the years since, Ford has been reading new stories and rereading old ones and selecting new favorites. This new collection features more than forty stories, including some he regretted overlooking the first time around, as well as many by a new generation of writers—among them Sherman Alexie, Junot Díaz, Deborah Eisenberg, Nell Freudenberger, Matthew Klam, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Z. Z. Packer. None of the stories (though a few of the writers) were in the first volume. Once again, Ford’s introduction is an illuminating exposition of how a good story is written by a master of the craft.

Našim čtenářům se dostává do rukou druhé české vydání dnes již klasické knihy autorů Josého Silvy a Philipa Mieleho, a to v roce padesáti let trvání výzkumů Silvovy metody ovládání vlastní mysli (Silva Mind ControlR) a osmdesátých narozenin jejího zakladatele, Josého Silvy, a kdy po dvou letech působení v České republice již na pět tisíc našich absolventů Základního kursu Silvovy metody se připojuje ke společenství, které v prosinci 1993 čítalo více než 12 miliónů absolventů ve 102 zemích světa.

V americkém kontextu "Mind Control" totiž vychází ze vžitého kultu "self-control", tj. doslova sebeovládání, jako základu tamní společenské výchovy. Op

Příběh válečného dopisovatele Johna Converse, který v Saigonu neodolá nabídce vydělat si 40 000 dolarů za přepravu tří kilogramů heroinu do USA, se stal Stoneovi příležitosti k úvaze o zkorumpovanosti amerického politického systému a jeho policejních složek, o vyvanutosti hnutí hippies a devastujícím účinku války ve Vietnamu a drog na myšlení a jednání lidí. Výsledkem je všeobecná ztráta vědomí o základních normách chování, a přizpůsobení tomu, co „dělají všichni“. Druhá hlavní postava Ray Hicks (jehož dílčí předlohou byl Stoneovi Neal Cassady) je literárním potomkem Kerouacova Deana Moriartyho, ovšem poznamenaným válečnou zkušeností, tj. uměním zabíjet, a vědomím, že květinové hnutí nenávratně skončilo. Hicks je smutným symbolem života „na cestě“, života, který již neznamená svobodnou volbu, ale je poslední možností štavnce. Román byl v r. 1975 oceněn Národní knižní cenou a v r. 1978 se v režii Karla Reisze dočkal i filmové podoby pod názvem Who'll Stop the Rain (česky uváděn jako Psí vojáci) s Nickem Noltem a Tuesday Weldovou v hlavních rolích.
