Masław

Józef Ignacy Kraszewski

“Masław” to książka Józefa Ignacego Kraszewskiego, polskiego pisarza i publicysty oraz autora największej liczby wydanych książek w historii literatury polskiej i siódmego autora na świecie pod tym względem.    Akcja powieści toczy się w okresie anarchii, która spowodowała ucieczkę z kraju księcia Kazimierza, a którą wywołał bunt możnych, najazd czeski oraz wybuch wewnętrznych zamieszek społecznych. Na Mazowszu były wielmoża królewski Masław tworzy swe niezależne państwo, dodatkowo pogłębiając panujący bezład.  

Masław. Powieść z XI wieku

Józef Ignacy Kraszewski

Akcja powieści rozgrywa się w czasie anarchii, która zmusiła księcia Kazimierza do ucieczki z kraju. Chaos wywołany buntem możnych, najazdem czeskim i społecznymi zamieszkami pogłębia dodatkowo były wielmoża królewski Masław, tworząc na Mazowszu własne państwo. W tym burzliwym okresie grupka ocalałych rycerzy, w tym władyka Lasota, bracia Doliwowie oraz młody dworzanin Bohdaś, tuła się po Mazowszu, szukając schronienia. Dołącza do nich rodzina rycerza Leliwy. Uciekając przed najeźdźcami i zbuntowanym pospólstwem, ostatecznie znajdują schronienie w Olszowym Horodyszczu, gdzie muszą stawić czoła oblężeniu przez zwolenników Masława. Ich dramatyczną obronę przerywa dopiero odsiecz rycerzy Kazimierza, która rozstrzyga losy kraju. W tle tych wydarzeń rozwija się wątek romansowy, dodający fabule lekkości i humoru.

Masłem do dołu

Petr Šabach

Rogal (czy w tym wypadku czeski rohlík) zawsze denerwująco wywraca się na talerzu, w dodatku zwykle masłem do dołu. Prawo natury, z którym trzeba się pogodzić. Tak jak z innymi dość irytującymi faktami, jak choćby tym, że człowiek się starzeje. Jednak czy rzeczywiście jesteśmy na to wszystko skazani? A może by na przykład zaprojektować i opatentować talerzyk, na którym podstępny rogalik nie ma prawa się wykopyrtnąć? Poza tym – czy przekroczywszy pewną granicę wieku, trzeba być nudnym i poukładanym? Bohaterowie Masłem do dołu, dwaj czerstwi sześćdziesięciolatkowie Arnošt i Evžen, są innego zdania. Masłem do dołu to powieść Petra Šabacha, która z miejsca uzyskała w Czechach status bestsellera i znalazła się w finale Nagrody Josefa Škvoreckiego. Wielbiciele czeskiego humoru znajdą tu wszystko, co lubią: dowcipne dialogi, absurdalne sytuacje, które przecież zdarzają się na co dzień, mnóstwo tylko na pozór niepowiązanych ze sobą anegdot, wyjątkowo trafnie oddany nastrój miejsca i chwili. Dla tych, którzy uparcie stawiają Šabacha w szeregu pisarzy „popowych” Masłem do dołu jest kolejną szansą odkrycia, że pod historią opowiadaną przez przyjemnie podchmielonego wesołka kryje się znacznie więcej niż śmiech.

Masło

Asako Yuzuki

Nieposkromiona miłość do masła, gastronomiczny challenge między seryjną morderczynią a młodą reporterką i kilka kilogramów więcej. Kulinarna emancypacja w japońskiej wersji Milczenia owiec.   Są jednak dwie rzeczy, których nie toleruję: to feminizm i margaryna.   Manako Kajii, wyśmienita kucharka i autorka popularnego bloga o luksusowej kuchni, przebywa w areszcie śledczym w Tokio. Została oskarżona o zabójstwo trzech samotnych biznesmenów. Miała ich uwieść swoim kulinarnym wyrafinowaniem.   Sprawa żywo interesuje opinię publiczną, ale osadzona uparcie odmawia kontaktu z mediami i nie przyjmuje żadnych wizyt. Jednak gdy młoda dziennikarka Rika Machida zwraca się do niej z prośbą o przepis na gulasz wołowy, postanawia zrobić wyjątek.   Rika, jedyna kobieta w redakcji Tygodnika Shmei, każdego wieczoru pracuje do późna, a jej kolacje to najczęściej podgrzewany ramen w kubku. Tymczasem spotkania z Manako, której obiecała rozmowy wyłącznie o jedzeniu i gotowaniu, bardziej niż reporterskie śledztwo zaczynają przypominać profesjonalny kurs kulinarny. Rika się zmienia. Z każdym nowym posiłkiem coś budzi się w jej ciele, a czysto zawodowe zainteresowanie przeradza się w dziwną fascynację.   Zainspirowana prawdziwą historią Zabójczyni Konkatsu powieść Asako Yuzuki stała się literacką sensacją w Japonii i za granicą. Masło to żywa, niepokojąca eksploracja mizoginii, obsesji i transgresyjnych przyjemności jedzenia w kraju, w którym kobiety muszą zawsze zadowalać mężczyzn, a nigdy siebie.   Mistrzowska, gęsta (i tłusta) intryga, która trzyma w napięciu do ostatniej strony. Komu wierzyć? Po czyjej stanąć stronie? Asako Yuzuki napisała Masło, inspirując się prawdziwymi zdarzeniami. Czytając, zastanawiałem się, jak tę sprawę poprowadziłby mój komisarz Bernard Gross nie miałby prostego zadania. I jeszcze jeden wniosek: więcej masła w powieściach kryminalnych! Robert Małecki, autor bestsellerowych kryminałów   Jest jak struktura tytułowego masła. Przede wszystkim gęsta i bogata w odniesienia do kultury Japonii. Ale warstw jest tu więcej. Powieść porusza tematy ważne i uniwersalne: atakującą w tłumie samotność, potrzebę akceptacji, próbę oparcia się kultowi ciała. Całość doprawiona została sporą dawką sztuki manipulacji, której mocy nie powstrzymują nawet więzienne kraty. Polecam! Ewa Przydryga, mistrzyni domestic drama, autorkaRównonocy   Niech Was nie zwiedzie tytuł: to nie jest lekka, maślana lektura pozwala zagłębić się w kulturę i sztukę kulinarną Japonii. Świetnie zbudowane postaci, wciągająca historia, mistrzowsko utkana narracja. Książka obowiązkowa na długie jesienne wieczory. Eliza Mórawska-Kmita, miłośniczka Azji, autorka bloga White Plate   Polecam każdemu, kto szuka ciekawej zagadki kryminalnej. Do tego ma ochotę poczytać o przepysznej kuchni, feminizmie oraz sytuacji kobiet w społeczeństwie. Tłumacząc książkę, sama zaczęłam gotować jak Rika. Warto zaopatrzyć się w ryżowar! Anna Wołcyrz, autorka przekładu tej książki

Masło przygodowe

Barbara Stenka

Masło przygodowe to znakomita, przezabawna i brawurowo napisana powieść Barbary Stenki, która opowiada o kilku miesiącach z życia dziesięcioletniej Kasi Koniec. Kasia, śmiemy twierdzić, to jedna z najoryginalniejszych bohaterek, jakie pojawiły się w ostatnich latach w polskiej literaturze dla dzieci i młodzieży. Inteligentna i wygadana hipochondryczka, która każdego dnia naprawia świat i stara się usunąć z niego zło i niesprawiedliwość. Walczy ze szkolnymi oprawcami, wspiera Elizę, ofiarę przemocy domowej, krzewi wśród rówieśników świadomość ekologiczną i wiedzę o rzadkich, zagrożonych wyginięciem gatunkach. Rozwija także własne entomologiczne zainteresowania. W wolnych chwilach namiętnie mierzy sobie temperaturę, by jak najwcześniej dowiedzieć się o nieuchronnej chorobie.

Master Humphreys Clock

Charles Dickens

Originally a regular magazine written entirely by Charles Dickens from April 4, 1840-December 4, 1841, Master Humphreys Clock uses an elderly gentleman named Master Humphrey as a frame for a number of stories. He is a lonely, crippled old man who lives in London. He keeps manuscripts in an antique clock by the chimney. He decides to start a little club, Master Humphreys Clock, at which the members eventually six in total, including Mr. Pickwick would write and read out their manuscripts to the others. A mirror club in the kitchen, Mr. Wellers Watch, includes Master Humphreys maid, the barber, and Sam Weller. Ultimately, the periodical included the complete novels The Old Curiosity Club and Barnaby Rudge. These two novels are, however, referenced in the recording, when Master Humphrey and his friends refer to them. This recording presents all the published material except for the two novels.
