Boat Number Five
The moving yet humorous story of a girl struggling to care for herself and others in post-communist Slovakia. Emotionally neglected by her immature, promiscuous mother and made to care for her cantankerous dying grandmother, twelve-year-old Jarka is left to fend for herself in the social vacuum of a post-communist concrete apartment-block jungle in Bratislava, Slovakia. She spends her days roaming the streets and daydreaming in the only place she feels safe: a small garden inherited from her grandfather. One day, on her way to the garden, she stops at a suburban railway station and impulsively abducts twin babies. Jarka teeters on the edge of disaster, and while struggling to care for the babies, she discovers herself. With a vivid and unapologetic eye, Monika Kompaníková captures the universal quest for genuine human relationships amid the emptiness and ache of post-communist Europe. Boat Number Five, which was adapted into an award-winning Slovak film, is the first of two books that launch Seagull's much-anticipated Slovak List.
Outside In
Publikace vypráví o historii Katedry anglistiky a amerikanistiky FF MU. Vyprávění je strukturované a je založeno na metodě orální historie. Vypravěčem je Don Sparling, osobnost dlouhodobě spjatá s životem katedry a její bývalý vedoucí. První kapitola líčí vznik Anglického semináře v roce 1920 pod vedením profesora Františka Chudoby a pokračuje popisem meziválečných událostí. Další kapitoly se věnují poválečnému období až do roku 1977 (příchod Dona Sparlinga na katedru), následně osmdesátým létům a době porevoluční do roku 2000. Poslední kapitola shrnuje dějiny významné součásti života katedry, divadelního spolku The Gypsywood Players.
