Beautiful Losers is the second and final novel by Canadian writer and musician Leonard Cohen. It was published in 1966, before he began his career as a singer-songwriter. Set in the Canadian province of Quebec, the story of 17th-century Mohawk saint Catherine Tekakwitha is interwoven with a love triangle between an unnamed anglophone Canadian folklorist; his Native wife, Edith, who has committed suicide; and his best friend, the mystical F, a Member of Parliament and a leader in the Quebec separatist movement. The complex novel makes use of a vast range of literary techniques, and a wealth of allusion, imagery, and symbolism. It is filled with the mysticism, radicalism, sexuality, and drug-taking emblematic of the 1960s era, and is noted for its linguistic, technical, and sexual excesses.

  • Nádherní poražení (anglicky Beautiful Losers) je druhý román kanadského spisovatele Leonarda Cohena, který byl poprvé publikován v roce 1966. Cohen se později začal věnovat hudbě a tento román se stal jeho vůbec posledním; později se mimo hudby věnoval pouze psaní básní. Kritikou byl román odsuzován a to zejména kvůli sexuálně zaměřenému obsahu knihy. Příběh je zasazen do sedmnáctého století. V Česku knihu vydalo v roce 1997 v překladu Tomáše Hrácha nakladatelství Argo. (cs)
