La teoria della stranezza
PREMIO MAGNESA LITERA PROSA 2019 La narratrice Ada Sabová, una giovane ricercatrice dell’Istituto di Antropologia Interdisciplinare, è per molti versi una tipica (ma non stereotipata) intellettuale dei nostri tempi, impegnata nella lotta di conciliare vita personale e carriera. Occupata nel tentativo di dipanare il mistero che si cela dietro alla scomparsa del figlio di una sua collega, comincia a notare intorno a sé degli strani eventi, che intuisce in qualche modo essere interconnessi e governati da una sorta di legge universale e misteriosa. Nel cercare di definirli, elabora una vera e propria “Teoria della Stranezza”, non risparmiandosi dal tirare in ballo teoria dei quanti, gatti di Schrodinger e teoria olografica dell’universo e si arrende alla constatazione che la sola ragione non le basterà a capire la complessità del mondo, e che per essere davvero libera dovrà abbandonare ogni sua sovrastruttura.
Zapomenutý vesmír
Soubor čtrnácti povídek žánru science fiction představuje svérázného autora, jemuž nechybí originální nápady, bystré postřehy a satirické ostří, namířené na neduhy současné civilizace, groteskně zvětšené a promítnuté do budoucího času. Autor sleduje důsledky dnešní ekologické krize pro příští léta, domýšlí následky horečného zbrojení, ukazuje nepříjemnou tvář vědy a techniky, vymykající se často z rukou svých tvůrců, protože jim chybí vědomí humanistického poslání a zodpovědnosti. Autor zdařile paroduje dnešní životní styl převlečený do kosmických kostýmů budoucnosti, která – podle jeho názoru – nestačí zahladit běžné i zhoubné lidské slabosti.

Sophisticated Giant
Tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon was one of the major innovators of modern jazz. In a context of biography, history, and memoir, Maxine Gordon has completed the book that her late husband began, weaving his "solo" turns with her voice and a chorus of voices from past and present. She shows that his image of the cool jazzman fails to come to terms with the three-dimensional man full of humor and wisdom, a figure who struggled to reconcile being both a creative outsider who broke the rules and a comforting insider who was a son, father, husband, and world citizen. --
