Mamma Mia... That's Life!
A light-hearted look at life in a sleepy Italian village which slowly awakes to the twenty-first century. In 1977, Valerie Barona made the decision to join her husband in Piussogno, a small mountain village in northern Italy. An English teacher born and raised in Dorset, she told of her early years in Piussogno in That’s Amore!, (Matador, 2013) and now revisits her life as a mother and housewife in the 1980s, trying to give her two children an English upbringing thousands of miles from home. Both children, Alex and Elisa, were bilingual by the age of two and enjoyed annual wet summers in Poole while their friends visited the Adriatic coast. Valerie herself took an active part in village li...
That's Amore!
The sharp clip of footsteps on the newly laid tiles made me look up. Two tall men wearing expensive dark suits and sunglasses strode purposefully into my vision. ‘This is like a scene from The Godfather,’ I thought as laughter bubbled up in my throat. ‘Where’s the violin case with a rifle?’ Then I noticed that one of them carried a briefcase and suddenly it didn’t seem so funny. The book is a light-hearted view of life in a rural Italian village in the 1970s. It is a picture of an Italy that is long gone. Aged 22, Valerie left a comfortable life in Poole, Dorset, to follow her Italian fiancé to his home in northern Italy. In 1977, Piussogno was a sleepy mountain village where no...

Z ovzduší politiky
Dvě Arbesovy časopisecké studie, v nichž autor analysoval český společenský a politický život v 60. a 70. letech minulého století. První studie zachycuje spor mezi někdejším českým žurnalistou, básníkem a překladatelem a posléze německy píšícím vídeňským fejetonistou V.K. Šemberou (1844-1891) a staročeským politikem a žurnalistou J.S. Skrejšovským (1831-1883). Vylíčením sporu odhalil Arbes nezdravé zjevy v našem národním životě a přísně odsoudil metody staročechů i mladočechů, kteří přenášeli do politického života a novinářských polemik svůj zápas o mocenské posice hospodářského rázu. Druhá studie zpodobuje vlastní autorův zapas o svobodu spisovatelského a novinářského projevu; vylíčení Arbesova utkání s představitelem tupého rakouského byrokratismu, státním návládním Janem Rappem, je výmluvným dokumentem hlubokého zpátečnictví rakouského vládního systému a zároveň příkrou obžalobou české veřejnosti, jež zapomínala na české žurnalisty, kteří pro národní myšlenku vytrpěli bezpočet příkoří, procesů a persekucí.
