Laura Pignatti Knihy

Komiksové vydanie najznámejšieho denníka, vydané pod záštitou Nadácie Anny Frankovej. Trinásťročná Anna Franková sa spolu s rodinou počas druhej svetovej vojny dva roky ukrývala v zadnej časti budovy v Amsterdame. Tesne pred koncom vojny však padla za obeť nacistickému režimu. Anna si zapisovala udalosti od 12. júna 1942 do 1. augusta 1944 a zaznamenala všetko, čo sa okolo nej dialo, aj jednotlivé dni v úkryte. Keď v marci 1944 v Oranžskom rádiu počula výzvu občanom, aby poskytli svoje zápisky do zbierky na historické účely, svoje poznámky začala prepisovať do knižnej podoby. Stihla prepísať podstatnú časť pôvodných listov a po vojne sa o ich knižné vydanie zaslúžil Annin otec Otto Frank, ktorý ako jediný z rodiny vojnu prežil.

The beloved bestselling, Pulitzer Prize–winning author brings us a novel that is “funny and lyric and true" (The New Yorker). Through the syncopated rhythms of the ragtime era to the thumping, rocking beats of the 1970s, generations of Pecks have maintained a determined steadiness. Adamantly middle class—Peck-proud, as the family slogan goes—they are quick to sweep under the rug those members who do not live up to their standards. Maybe that’s why Caleb Peck took off with his violincello as a boy? Sixty years later, his brother Daniel is still wondering. No longer willing to live without answers, he turns to his daughter-in-law, Justine, another Peck family eccentric. A studied tarot card reader, Justine comes across one message over and over in the cards: change is coming. With Daniel’s help, she’s hoping to find the courage to embrace whatever happens next. An unlikely pair struggling against a stifling family, Daniel and Justine believe they’ll find freedom in just the right mix of magic, music, and mystery.

A darkly hilarious tale of a model family's disintegration. Professor Siem Sigerius - maths genius, jazz lover, judo champion, Renaissance man. When Aaron meets his girlfriend Joni's family for the first time, her multitalented father could hardly be a more intimidating figure, but somehow the underachieving photographer manages to bluff his way to a friendship with the paterfamilias. With his feet under the table at the beautiful Sigerius farmhouse, Aaron feels part of the family. A perfect family. Until, that is, things start to go wrong in a very big way. A cataclysmic explosion in a firework factory, the advent of internet pornography, the reappearance of a forgotten murderer and a jet-black wig-all play a role in the spectacular fragmentation of the Sigerius clan...and of Aaron's fragile psyche.

Tridsaťročný Barnaby má za sebou búrlivú mladosť a je čiernou ovcou váženej rodiny. Tento dobrosrdečný mladý muž sa s humorom jemu vlastným snaží nájsť si miesto na zemi a odhaliť to, na čom vlastne v živote najviac záleží. Bývalá manželka ním pohŕda. Matka mu vyčíta nedostatok ambícií a neochotu pracovať s otcom v zabehnutej nadácii.

Jemu však jeho práca poskytla zázemie a našiel tu ľudí, ktorí sú naňho odkázaní a ktorým na ňom záleží.

A možno ním je práve mladá Sophia...

Baltimore, July 1959. The Whitshanks are one of those unique families that radiate togetherness, as their lives unfold in a lovingly worn house that has always been their anchor. But like all families, the stories they tell themselves reveal only part of the picture . . . A tender, touching and funny story about three generations of an ordinary American family ... Tyler's accomplishment ... is to convince us not only that the Whitshanks are remarkable but also that every family--no matter how seemingly ordinary--is in its own way special. --Associated Press
