When Franz Kafka died in 1924, his loyal champion Max Brod could
not bring himself to fulfil his friend's last instruction: to burn
his remaining manuscripts. Instead, Brod devoted the rest of his
life to editing, publishing and canonizing Kafka's work. By
betraying his friend's last wish, Brod twice rescued his legacy -
first from physical destruction, and then from obscurity. But that
betrayal was also eventually to lead to an international legal
battle: as a writer in German, should Kafka's papers come to rest
in Germany, where his three sisters died as victims of the
Holocaust? Or, as a Jewish writer, should his work be considered as
a cultural inheritance of Israel, a state that did not exist at the
time of his death?Alongside an acutely observed portrait of Kafka,
Benjamin Balint also traces the journey of the manuscripts Brod had
rescued when he fled from Prague to Palestine in 1939 and offers a
gripping account of the Israeli court case that determined their
fate. He tells of a wrenching escape from the Nazi invaders of
Czechoslovakia, of a love affair between exiles stranded in Tel
Aviv, and of two countries whose national obsessions with the past
eventually faced off in the courts. For fans of Philippe Sands'
East West Street, in Kafka's Last Trial Benjamin Balint invites us
to consider Kafka's remarkable legacy and to question whether that
legacy belongs by right to the country of his language, that of his
birth, or that of his cultural affinities - but also whether any
nation state can lay claim to ownership of a writer's work at all.

závislosti, ktorej prepadli čitatelia po celom svete, Trón zo skla!
Aelin Galathynius sa zaprisahala, že zachráni svoj ľud, aj keď
cena, ktorú za to treba zaplatiť, je nepredstaviteľne vysoká. Keď
ju kráľovná férov Maeve uväzní v starodávnej železnej truhle a
niekoľko mesiacov mučí, jedinou nádejou na prežitie je len Aelinina
ohnivá vôľa a strašná istota, že ak ju Maeve zlomí, bude to
znamenať skazu pre jej milovaných. S každým ďalším dňom však jej
pevné odhodlanie nepoddať sa čoraz viac slabne... Kým je Aelin v
zajatí, jej priateľov a spojencov osud zaveje na všetky svetové
strany. Niektoré putá sa posilnia, iné sa spretŕhajú naveky. A keď
sa ich cesty znovu spoja, všetci musia bojovať, ak Erilea nemá
padnúť. V napínavom záverečnom diele svetového bestselleru od Sarah
J. Maas bude musieť Aelin zviesť posledný, najťažší boj pre
záchranu seba samej – a pre prísľub lepšieho sveta.
