Hardback. Condition: New. Traditional African narrative forms combined with European modernism.   The stories comprising The Healer, Marek Vadas's first collection, which was originally published in 2006, are steeped in the culture, rituals, and traditions of Africa, blurring the boundaries between dream and reality and peopled with characters whose gender, shape, skin color or even memories may change at a stroke. Nevertheless, Vadas refuses to exoticize this world, and many of the stories, told in pared-down language, blend mythical elements with realistic depictions of harsh living conditions, economic deprivation, and colonial oppression. The narratives unfold from the perspective of their protagonists-children (often orphaned), and men struggling to make ends meet and trying in vain to resist the allure of strong women endowed with magic powers. As a Slovak writer focusing on the African continent, Vadas is a rare voice that helps to build bridges between very different cultures, and now his writing is introduced to the global anglophone readership.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Ohne Schutzumschlag; Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Rozpravky z ciernej Afriky prinasaju pribehy z tajomneho kontinentu plneho chudoby, ale hlavne krasy a zahad. Myty a rozpravky, ktore vznikali v oblastiach juzne od Sahary, plnili mnozstvo dolezitych uloh. Povodni obyvatelia cierneho svetadielu nepoznali pismo, ale o to viac si vazili slovo. Ich rozpravania v sebe niesli mudrost predkov i celu historiu a kulturu. Pribehy sirene ustnym podanim objasnovali prirodne zakonitosti, vysvetlovali povod veci a hodnotovy system v tradicnom spolocenstve. Deti sa tak ucili, ako zit v harmonii s prirodou a so svojim okolim. Rozoznat zlo a dobro, respektovat zakony, vazit si rodinu, uctievat mrtvych, vyvarovat sa nebezpecenstvu, tesit sa zo zivota a vnimat pritomnost ako velky dar. Slovo ma pre africke narody az doteraz carovnu silu a moc zabijat i uzdravovat. Slovo je najvacsie kuzlo.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Kult predku, nadprirozene bytosti, kouzla, ritualy a prechody z jednoho sveta do druheho. Proste povidky o nas. Cerne na cernem je fascinujici sbirka pribehu, ovlivnenych africkou duchovnosti, vypravenim, ale i temnejsimi existencialnimi pribehy, vychazejicimi z evropske tradice. Je vydarenym pokusem zachytit ve fragmentech pribehu tajemstvi a krasu zivota. Pripadne smrti. Dado Nagy, RTVS Autor nam dava moznost premyslet o kulturni jinakosti a pocit, jake by to bylo, kdybychom byli nekym jinym. Patrik Oriesek, Pravda Marek Vadas je okouzleny Afrikou i ve sve nove knize Cerne na cernem. Jeji obraz je ovsem vyrazne drsnejsi, desivejsi a naturalistictejsi nez kdy predtim: najdeme v nem mene pohadkovosti, ale o to vice zivelneho nasili a temnoty. Lenka Szentesiova, SME. Mário Domček (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Zapadly bar na okraji tropickeho velkomesta ceka na apokalypsu. Je cas na rekapitulaci a cesta do minulosti je stejne neznama, tajemna a nebezpecna jako ocekavany konec. Vypravec se vyzna ve vsem, jen ne ve vlastnim zivote, a ani sam netusi, ktery z pribehu opravdu zazil, a ktery jen nekde zaslechl. Realita, touhy a zle sny se tak stretavaji v neobvykle mozaice textu, plnych ironie i kouzla Afriky.…
