Krátky popis
'Poignant and compelling. will resonate with anyone who cares about justice and the abuse of power' - Lindsey Hilsum, Channel 4 News International Editor and author of Sandstorm'Essential and urgent' - Kim Ghattas, journalist and author of Black WaveLebanon and the wider Middle East is in crisis. For this extraordinary book, journalist Dalal Mawad conducted a series of searing interviews with women in Lebanon - weaving an extraordinary story of survival, corruption and impunity.On August 4 2020, a huge explosion in the heart of Beirut killed hundreds of people - it was the apocalypse of a sequence of events that have led to Lebanon's unprecedented collapse. Award-winning journalist Dalal Mawad was in Lebanon when the blast happened, and was one of the first journalists to report on the mysterious and devastating explosion.During her reporting, she discovered something else - that it is the women who stay behind, and it is through their stories that the history of the Middle East must be re-constructed. She set out to record the stories of those she met, the women long discriminated against, and those whose stories are untold. She spoke to mothers who lost their children, spouses who lost their partners, refugee women who have fled from the war in Syria - and who now find themselves in another failing state. We hear from the Lebanese grandmother, bankrupted by the small nation's collapse, who remembers Beirut's glory days of the 1960s - when the likes of Brigitte Bardot and Miles Davis came to Beirut. And then the women like Dalal herself, who have left their home behind.The women in this book all experienced the explosion and suffered unimaginable loss and tragedy, but it is not just this one event that brings them together. Their personal stories converged to tell the story of a nation whose glory days are long gone, now riven by protracted violence, lurching from crisis to crisis, and fighting to survive. It tells not only of what these women have lost, but also what Lebanon has lost, and a part of the Middle East that is no more.

Sto rokov samoty
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný. Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka Macondo.
