The story of a modern Asian young woman trying to straddle Western attitudes and traditional beliefs. You've heard of an Essex Girl or even a Chelsea Girl but what is a Hounslow Girl? The term has become a byword for confident, young Muslim women who are grappling with traditional values, city life and fashion. From the joys of Pakistani weddings to fights on the night bus, Ambreen Razia's? The Diary of a Hounslow Girl ?is a funny, bold, provocative play highlighting the challenges of being a teenage girl in a traditional Muslim family, alongside the temptations and influences of growing up in and around London. “Ambreen’s writing is poetic in its structure and intensity, funny, moving, chilling, and delivered in a style that takes inspiration from spoken word and physical theatre. She has created a rhythm that draws the audience in, as compelling as a thriller, complete with gathering ominousness, shocks and comic relief.” Deborah Bestwick, Director, Ovalhouse “Ambreen Razia’s terrific play is exactly the kind of new work we wish to support in the new home of multi-cultural theatre in London. Hounslow Girl is a wonderfully funny take on a London phenomenon and one audiences will enjoy.” Jatinder Verma, Artistic Director, Tara Arts” "a powerful piece of theatre... Ambreen Razia's performance is astonishing."?BritishTheatre.com "This is a sophisticated, moving and often very funny piece of writing, particularly nuanced in its depiction of Shaheeda's relationship with her mother ... astute in tackling the breakdown of the loving bonds between parent and child that can occur when a child becomes a teenager – and also how this experience can be magnified for the children of first-generation immigrants, whose parents feel distant from their children’s British lives... Razia's script touches on everything from first love to cultural expectations to student-teacher relationships; it’s a bit like an inner-city version of An Education."?The Stage Ambreen Razia is an actress and writer from South London.? The Diary of a Hounslow Girl is Ambreen's debut show which premiered at Ovalhouse in 2015. Passionate about re-establishing British Asian comedy within the UK, she continues to write her comedy sketch show involving two British Asian girls exploring the?clash between traditional Indian/Pakistani culture and modern British life.

De altfel, poetul este cunoscut nc de la Amazon ca un mptimit al stilisticii glam.

Babits Mihály remekbe szabott válogatása és ezek m?fordításai 1947-ben jelent meg az Officina Kiadó gondozásában. Az Erato példás munka, mely hozza az eredeti nyelv? változatot, legyen az g?r?g, latin, olasz, francia, vagy angol nyelv?. Manapság az a generáció, mely egyként képes a digitális világban eligazodni és g?r?g, vagy latin nyelven olvasni és érteni, megszámlálhatóan kicsiny lélekszámú. Ezért úgy d?nt?ttünk, hogy elhagyjuk az eredeti változatban megtalálható g?r?g és latin nyelv? verseket és csak Babits magyar nyelv? m?fordítását k?z?ljük abban a sorrendben, ahogy az egykori k?tet oldalain megjelentek. Reméljük, hogy a digitális világ szerelemre, lírára fogékony és olvasni kedvel? lakói értékelik vállalkozásunkat. Jó olvasást, és felr?ppen? szerelmes sóhajokat kívánunk.

Rónai Egon nagy siker? m?sorának legérdekesebb beszélgetéseib?l szerkesztett k?tetet. Vendégei a magyar kulturális, gazdasági és politikai élet legjavából kerültek ki. Az elgondolkodtató interjúkkal most k?nyv alakban találkozhat az olvasó.  ?… remekül tudok élni, mert nagyon boldog tudok lenni, ha kisüt a nap… De ahogy múlik az id?, változik, mert tudja, jól vagyunk megteremtve. Fiatalon még sokkal k?nnyebben átlépünk tragédiákat… Ilyenkor meg már sokkal jobban nyomaszt az emberi szenvedés. Hihetetlen, hogy mit tudunk kitalálni egymás ellen!”/ T?r?csik Mari/?A kapitalista piacgazdaságban nincs teljes foglalkoztatás, az a szocializmusban volt, amikor a kapun belüli munkanélküliség formájában eltüntették a kapun kívüli munkanélküliséget. Teljesen értelmetlen azzal a tudatot torzítani, és az embereket ilyen értelemben butítani, hogy teljes lesz a foglalkoztatás.”/ Bokros Lajos/?Rengeteg telefonviccet meg egyebeket csináltam, szeretem az életben is a váratlan helyzeteket, ilyen pánik szituációkban elég jól viselkedem. Azt szoktam mondani, hogy velem koccanni autóval, az egy mámor a másiknak. Mert én r?h?gve szállok ki, nem ordítok, hogy maga barom.” /Szilágyi János/?Más id?k voltak, az igaz. 2002-t?l t?rt el valami ebben az országban. 2002-ben, amikor nagyon sokad magammal felültem oda a tribünre, Orbán Viktor beszéde m?gé, akkor ez nagyon érdekes hatással volt a k?rnyezetemre.” /Kovács ’Kokó’ István/  Rónai Egon újságíró, televíziós-rádiós m?sorvezet?. Ahogy mondja, 50 éves, de 60 éve van a szakmában: 15 év az írott sajtóban, 25 a rádiózásban, 20 a televízióban. Pályafutását a Népsportnál kezdte, azután a rádiózás k?vetkezett, a Magyar Rádió, majd a Danubius Rádió, amelynek alapító tagja, kés?bb program- és hírigazgatója volt. Vezette a Budapest Rádiót és a PontFM Rádiót. 2000-ben bábáskodott a Sport1 TV indulásánál is, ahol aztán egy évtizedet t?lt?tt. Ezután csábította el jelenlegi munkahelye, az ATV. Ezek mellett másfél évtizeden át tanította a rádiós utánpótlást, k?zben 12 éven át reklámügyn?kséget is vezetett. Az ATV-ben a Start! cím?, reggeli politikai magazin mellett Csatt címmel vitam?sort vezet. A k?tet beszélgetéseinek az alapja a 2011 óta minden héten - jelenleg is - jelentkez? portrém?sora, a Húzós.

Heyman ?vát 1944-ben, Nagyváradon hurcolták el?bb gettóba, majd Auschwitzba, ahol személyesen Mengele küldte a halálba. Tizenhárom éves volt. Titkos naplóját édesanyja találta meg, aki k?nyvvé formálta, és kiadta. ?gy lett ?va naplója a holokauszt egyik legmegrázóbb dokumentuma. Az olykor érezhet? anyai beavatkozástól a napló még drámaibb, még megrázóbb lett, f?ként, mert tudjuk: a megjelenés után ?va édesanyja mély depresszióba esett, majd ?ngyilkos lett. A napló azóta megjelent angolul, héberül, néhány évvel ezel?tti, ?va lányom cím?, magyar kiadása után pedig németül, franciául, spanyolul és baszk nyelven is.  "Pedig, kis naplóm, én nem akarok meghalni, én még akkor is élni akarok, ha egyedül az egész k?rzetb?l csak én maradhatnék itt. ?n egy pincében, vagy egy padláson, vagy bármilyen lyukban is kivárnám a háború végét, én, kis naplóm, még a kancsi csend?rt?l, aki elvitte a lisztet t?lünk, még attól is hagynám magam megcsókolni, csak ne ?ljenek meg, csak hagyjanak élni!"A család elhurcolásáról Zsolt Béla: Kilenc koffer c. k?nyvében írt, melyet "Az emberi becstelenség krónikája" - ként tart számon a The Observer.

Az út, ami hazavisz. Akik túlélték a halál pillanatát, azt mondják, pár másodperc alatt lepereg a szemük el?tt az életük. De csak ott, az utolsó pillanatban kristályosodik ki a lényeg, ám akkor általában már kés?. ?n negyven napot kaptam a sorstól, hogy végignézzem életem filmjét - még id?ben. Mint amikor a s?tétben váratlanul felkapcsolják a villanyt... Megismerhettem a lényeget... Zarándoklatra indultam, fájdalmas vezeklés lett bel?le. Egy olyan ?b?nért", amit nem is tudtam, hogy elk?vettem. Amit itt leírtam, nem a képzelet szüleménye. Legyalogoltam a nyolcszáz kilométert, és átéltem minden pillanatát. Remegtem a d?bbenett?l, amikor kézzel foghatóvá vált a csoda, és sírtam a zavarodottságtól, amikor nem értettem, mi t?rténik velem. Ha más meséli, amit ott átéltem, azt mondom, túl színes a fantáziája.

Homo brucans e o carte interdisciplinar?, multifa?etat?, de ?inut? preponderent hermeneutic?, axat? pe teme legate de interpretarea Vechiului ?i Noului Testament (eseuri pe Decalog, pe personalitatea Sf. Pavel sau pe semnifica?ia mitic? ?i religioas? a cenu?ei), pe R?zboiul Rece, Revolu?ia Rus? ?i Contracultura anilor ‘60 (eseuri despre decantarea mediatic? ?n Rom?nia a revoltelor studen?e?ti din anul 1968, futuri?ti, violen?a lui Lenin sau despre The White Negro al lui Norman Mailer), pe aspecte structurale ale literaturii rom?ne din perioada de dup? Revolu?ia din decembrie 1989 (teme de genul: impactul lui Silviu Brucan asupra mentalit??ii postrevolu?ionare, identitarul rom?nesc difuz pe Internet, dinamica genera?ional? a literaturii rom?ne, rolul dinamizator al lui Marin Mincu ?i Adrian Marino), pe psihoistorie (cu un portret al lui Loyd deMause ?i o radiografie a concep?iilor sale). ?n final, cartea se ?ncheie cu decantarea eseistic? a unei c?l?torii ?n India, prilej de evocare a personalit??ii lui Mircea Eliade.

Da. E despre mine. E despre tine. E despre noi. Din toate p?r?ile ?i toate direc?iile. Despre falimentul moral ?i trezirea spiritului. Despre cum e s? ui?i ?i c?t de bine e s? ??i reaminte?ti. (Beatrice, activist) Un volum de poezii despre poezia ?i nepoezia vie?ii. Mai degrab? despre ce omoar? poezia vie?ii. De citit dac? sunte?i odihni?i ?i cu chef de introspec?ie. Aten?ie, poate s? doar?. (Mihaela, manager) Am frunz?rit-o cu trufia c? nu e despre mine. Am citit-o cu teama c? ar putea fi despre mine. Am recitit-o cu ambi?ia s? nu devin? despre mine. (Ioana, manager formare) Am deschis cartea, am r?sfoit, am citit. Apoi am ?nchis Outlook-ul ?i m-am g?ndit la lucruri simple: prieteni, muzic?, sine. (Andrei, copywriter) Am avut permanent senza?ia c? navighez pe valuri, fel de fel de valuri, valuri peste valuri de via??, valuri cu gloata mijlocie, prins? ?n caden?a asta a noastr?, modern? ?i golit? de rost personal. (Carmen, strategic planner) O oglind? care reflect? ?n cuvinte propria via?? – care via??? – multiplicat? ?n mii de alte trupuri, care tr?iesc aceea?i nesf?r?it? ?zi a c?rti?ei“. (Sylvia, marketing manager) Mi-a transmis impresia de oper? rock, sau, m? rog, cum s-ar putea numi a?a ceva pe muzic? de Parov Stelar, Nicholas Jarr ?i al?ii mai de acum. (?tefan, student) ?Auzi, de ce nu scrie nimeni poezie despre corporati?ti?“ m-a ?ntrebat un prieten acum vreo cinci ani. La vremea aceea am pufnit ?n r?s de mi-a dat ?pri?ul pe nas, dar, anul trecut, mi-am dat seama c? se poate. Tocmai terminasem Saga – bilete la clasa din mijloc, un poem epic, ironic ?i ?ntins pe vreo 30 de pagini. Despre iubirea dintre doi corporati?ti, desp?r?i?i ?n adolescen?? ?i reg?si?i la disperare, pe la 30 de ani ?i ceva, cu ocazia unui infarct. L-am rugat pe Paul Hitter, ale c?rui desene cu miz? social? ?i tu?e cinice m? atr?geau demult, s? ilustreze c?teva scene din istoria celor doi eroi ai poemului. Au ie?it 7 desene care nu doar ajut? textul, ci duc povestea mai departe, o cresc ?i o dezvolt?. Din vagonul de accelerat Timi?oara-Bucure?ti p?n? pe malul m?rii, Paul a transcris vizual o hart? a nelini?tilor, fricilor, la?it??ilor ?i speran?elor unei genera?ii care a ?mb?tr?nit ?nainte de vreme, dar care ?nc? sper? la evadare. Saga – bilete la clasa din mijloc este o carte-album despre noi ?i despre voi, despre cei ce umplu sta?ia Pipera la 7 diminea?? ?i despre cei care r?d de ei ?ntorc?ndu-se din club, despre cei adu?i la nebunie de creditul ipotecar ?i cei ?ntor?i victorio?i ?i ar?i din Goa sau de la festivaluri. Este poezie pentru c? sunte?i poezie, este scris? pentru c? trebuia scris? ?i este desenat? ca s? nu mai existe niciun dubiu.“ (T?u?ance)

Volum nominalizat la sec?iunea ?Critic?. Istorie ?i Teorie Literar?“ – Premiile ?Observator cultural“, edi?ia a VI-a, 2012 Lucrarea de fa?? pleac? de la ideea c?, odat? cu sf?r?itul anilor ‘60/?nceputul anilor ‘70, se configureaz?, ?n context rom?nesc, o mi?care poetic? cu caracter experimentalist, care se ?ndep?rteaz? de paradigmele modernismului, urm?nd modelul avangardelor interbelice. Principiul fundamental al unei asemenea poezii trebuie c?utat ?n pragmatica ?tiin?ei contemporane, c?ci ea presupune elaborarea unor ?axiomatici“ (concretizate ?n abord?ri teoretice, programe ?i manifeste artistice), urmat? apoi de investigarea, printr-o mi?care de extensie, a limitelor, de c?utarea obstinat? a noului, care se raporteaz? la propria sa ?axiomatic?“ ?n calitate de diferen??, de ?paralogie“, extinz?ndu-i limitele, dar ?i problematiz?nd-o, printr-un demers care e constructiv ?i deconstructiv totodat?, contestatar ?i autocontestatar ?n acela?i timp.

volumul al III-lea dintr-un interviu de un cristian Trilogia lui Ion Cucu este, deopotriv?, o construc?ie editorial? ?i o demonstra?ie personal?. Ion Cucu nu e, cum s-a crezut, doar un fotograf, iar opera lui cap?t? o cu totul alt? dimensiune dac? iese din tiparul unui album oarecare sau al unei expozi?ii, fie ea ?i permanent?. Interviul ?i portretele spun mai mult dec?t povestea unor fotografii – ?mpreun?, acestea dezv?luie talentul, for?a, patimile ?i d?ruirea fotografului celor zece pre?edin?i. Ai Uniunii Scriitorilor. Pentru c? prin aceast? institu?ie s-a legitimat ?i se reg?se?te, ca artist fotograf, scriitorul Ion Cucu. Trilogia s-a sf?r?it, de-acum urmeaz? Istoria. (un cristian)

Debut?nd cu volumul Mandala (Editura Vinea, 2005), Oana C?t?lina Ninu n-a ratat aproape niciunul dintre premiile care i-au ie?it in cale. O recunoa?tere, f?r? ?ndoial?, meritat?, ?ntruc?t vorbim despre cel mai semnificativ debut liric din anul respectiv. [...] Oric?t de rebele, reprezent?rile se topesc ?ntr-o sintax? aluvionar?, corodat? prin dialogism ?i nivelat? prin directe?e. De altfel, ?n Mandala, fracturat nu e at?t discursul, care se deruleaz? lent ?i f?r? intersti?ii vizibile, c?t universul reprezent?rilor, care suport? o macera?ie organizat? din partea unei viziuni schizoide. Poemele C?t?linei Ninu descriu, cu o fervoare incandescent?, cele mai diverse forme de mutilare, ?n slujba c?rora eul liric pune la b?taie un arsenal impresionant (foarfece, ace, ?urubelni?e, col?i, unghii, bricege, lame, epilatoare, v?traie etc.), care l-ar face s? p?leasc? de invidie pe un anumit conte austriac. ?i nu e de mirare, de vreme ce figura central? a Mandalei se prezint?, ?nc? din primul text al volumului, drept ?femeia foarfec?“. (Andrei Terian, ?n Ziarul de duminic?)?Fuga de feminitate“, exorcizarea umorilor feminine ?i a corporalit??ii maligne devine miza actului poetic, prin care femeia real? e ?nlocuit? prin ?femeia inscrip?ionat?“. El are ?ns? caracterul unei vivisec?ii, presupune scormonirea nemiloas? a fibrelor ?i a ?esuturilor, e o autotortur? aproape cu neputin?? de ?ndurat, astfel ?nc?t privirea introspectiv?, care scormone?te ca un bisturiu ?n profunzimea plasmei organice cunoa?te momente de relaxare, deplas?ndu-se (ca in ciclul Nu e timpul,fato) de la spectacolul visceralit??ii ?n criz? la filmul cotidianului. Acum, Oana C?t?lina Ninu abordeaz? reportajul autenticist, care cap?t? ?ns? aspectul ?picturilor metafizice“, unde realul e ?textualizat“, realc?tuit, devenind suportul reveriei thanatice, c?ci poeta descrie ?cet??i ale mor?ilor“, evoc? ritualuri funerare grote?ti sau sortilegii sanguinare. (Octavian Soviany ?n Luceaf?rul)Mandala este ?i una dintre figurile ini?ierii. Poezia se scrie ?mpotriva limbajului dat, ?mpotriva sensului uzat, cu sufletul, dar ?mpotriva lui, cu trupul, dar ca mortificare a trupului, cu durere, ca singur vaccin al durerii prin smulgerea ei din trup ?i a?ezarea ei ?n pagin?. (Alex Matei ?n Observator cultural)Poemele se sus?in unele pe altele ?ntr-o ordine nu mecanic?, de domino, ci subversiv?: ?povestea“ ?nainteaz? exclusiv de la un ciclu la altul. ?n interiorul secven?elor, numai discurs: fragmentele narative sunt sincopate ori deturnate. O anume urgen?? a durerii, o panic? reverberat? fiziologic ?n prima parte a volumului (mandala) cedeaz? locul unei aluviuni de repro?uri distante mim?nd refrenul (nu te mai preface ana), apoi unei terapii solitare, cu oscila?ii ?i indecizii (nu e timpul fato). Iat? o radiografiere par?ial? a zonelor liminare. P?n? aici, nu de pu?ine ori scabrosul corporal (sexual sau nu, dup? caz) conserv? atmosfera co?maresc?, comparabil? aceleia din Capriciile lui Goya. (Cosmin Ciotlo? ?n Rom?nia literar?).

Aceast? carte este ?n limba englez?.?In My Loved Japan, [...] the Romanian poet Clelia Ifrim offers a very fine imaginative response to the tragedy that overtook northeast Japan earlier this year.As far as I know the writer has never visited Japan, though she has long connections with it through haiku, and haiku poets.“A river of tears — to whom belongs this silence after the earthquake?“; “Not a voice or sound but this moon path on the waves — fishermen's village“;“Hobby horse sinking in the depth of the ocean to make its farewell.“?From David Burleigh, Best Books of 2011: Close-up on a People’s Disaster, in Japan Times, at http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/fb20111225a5.html.
