Sonny Liew Knihy

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From a bestselling graphic novelist comes “a hugely ambitious, stylistically acrobatic work” (The New York Times Book Review) that brings us on a uniquely moving, funny, and thought-provoking journey through the life of an artist and the history of a nation. Meet Charlie Chan Hock Chye. Now in his early 70s, Chan has been making comics in his native Singapore since 1954, when he was a boy of 16. As he looks back on his career over five decades, we see his stories unfold before us in a dazzling array of art styles and forms, their development mirroring the evolution in the political and social landscape of his homeland and of the comic book medium itself. With The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, Sonny Liew has drawn together a myriad of genres to create a thoroughly ingenious and engaging work, where the line between truth and construct may sometimes be blurred, but where the story told is always enthralling.

JANE AUSTENOVÉ (1775–1817) mohlo celé devatenácté století děkovat za galerii krásných moderních žen, které měly odvahu chovat se tak, jak jim velel zdravý rozum – ať už to byla Elizabeth z Pýchy a předsudku, Eleonor z Rozumu a citu nebo Anna z románu Anna Elliotová. Její první publikovaný román Rozum a cit (1811) dodnes nachází vděčné čtenáře a především čtenářky, neboť hrdinkami jsou dívky a ženy, které se musí smířit s tvrdostí života a najít rovnováhu mezi rozumem a citem. I po téměř dvou staletích překvapuje Austenová neobvyklou zápletkou, jemným humorem, skvělými dialogy i vřelostí citu. Mnohými čtenáři i kritiky je proto považována za největší autorku anglické prózy.
