At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd, whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself, Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined.

Hailed as one of the most significant figures of early Modernism and at the same time condemned for his work and his morals – the discussion about Gauguin, his art and his character is still relevant today. Especially at a time where #MeToo is shedding new light on Gauguin’s relationship with adolescent girls and his share in colonialism in French Polynesia. Gauguin – The Master, the Monster and the Myth is the first in-depth biography about the artist written by a Danish writer. The publication shares new insights about Gauguin – about his complex character as an artist and a human being. It challenges the traditional ideas we have about his life and work. Flemming Friborg unfolds the fascinating story about Gauguin’s life and the millieu of Impressionism that he was a part of but also at the same time distinguishing himself from. The book shows how his method and moral was bound in a carefully maintained, personal brand and therefore the master and the monster must be seen as inseparable – and therefore, as a result of this, Gaugain’s legacy and status as a genius artist remains unclear.

''A crucial and compelling read'' NATALIE COLLINS @GodLovesWomen ''The story of Josephine Butler is astonishing, shocking, inspiring, recounted here by a narrator who understands the very core of her subject. A powerful read.'' CLAIRE GILBERT, author of I, Julian ''When Courage Calls allows us to hear Butler''s message afresh at a time when women''s value and safety is again at risk.'' ALISON MILBANK, Professor of Literature and Theology, University of Nottingham''This is an inspiring book written by an inspiring writer'' RACHAEL TREWEEK, Bishop of Gloucester Millicent Fawcett, the leader of the British suffragist movement, described Josephine Butler as ''the most distinguished English woman of the nineteenth century''. Among the first feminist activists, Butler raised public awareness of the plight of destitute women, worked to address human trafficking and led a vigorous campaign to secure equal rights for women before the law. In her pursuit of justice, Butler did as much for women as William Wilberforce did for African slaves within the British Empire, and yet, while Wilberforce remains a household name, Butler is forgotten.Social historian Sarah C. Williams presents a re-examined biography of the radical political activist Josephine Butler. From the beauty of her childhood in Northumbria, to the stifling intellectual environment of mid-Victorian Oxford; from the impoverished streets of Liverpool and the brothels of London, Brussels and Paris, to the offices of Westminster and the Houses of Parliament. Butler''s relentless drive to secure rights for women against the sexual double standard of her day captures a remarkable woman with deeply held values for equality.Underpinning Butler''s public life of political activism lies the full corpus of her writing and the spirituality that grounded her activism. When Courage Calls offers a profound examination of Butler''s inner life of prayer, defined by her radical sense of justice that was able to transform Victorian society. Such conviction offers us a taste of the possibility for our time and culture.This biography presents a fresh interpretation of the relationship between Josephine Butler''s public leadership, her political activism and her spirituality.

Slavná kniha psychologa M. Scotta Pecka, autora známých titulů Nevyšlapanou cestou, Postel u okna či V jiném rytmu, obrací svou pozornost k jednomu z největších témat lidského života – k otázce zla. Projevy lidského zla a jeho podstatu zkoumá jak z vědeckého, psychologického a psychiatrického hlediska, tak z pohledu široce chápaného křesťanství. Autor vychází ze své bohaté terapeutické praxe, živě přibližuje několik výrazných příběhů, s nimiž se během své práce setkal, včetně účasti na exorcismu, a rozbor problému lidského zla rozšiřuje o otázky narcismu, kolektivní viny, pohodlnosti a lhostejnosti. Peckův odborný zájem nezůstává jen u analýzy, vede k úvahám o osobní spiritualitě člověka a zdůrazňuje zásadní roli lásky a dobra jak v životě, tak v terapeutické práci. Morgan Scott Peck byl americký psychiatr a spisovatel. V Portále vyšly jeho knihy Postel u okna, V jiném rytmu a Přátelská sněhová vločka.

This book is a soul-expanding celebration of the human spirit’ MARTIN LATHAM, author of The Bookseller's Tale‘Will delight any booklover’ ROLAND ALLAN, author of The NotebookThis is an extraordinary story of skill, craft, mess, cunning, triumph, improvisation, and error.Of printers and binders, publishers and artists, paper-makers and library founders. Some we know. We meet jobbing printer (and United States Founding Father) Benjamin Franklin, and watch Thomas Cobden-Sanderson conjure books that flicker between the 20th and 15th centuries.Others we’ve forgotten. We don't recall Sarah Eaves, wife of John Baskerville, and her crucial contribution to the history of type. Nor Charles Edward Mudie, populariser of the circulating library – and the most influential figure in publishing before Jeff Bezos.Nor William Wildgoose, who meticulously bound Shakespeare’s First Folio, then disappeared. The Book-Makers puts people back into the story of the book. It takes us inside the print-shop as the deadline looms and the adrenaline flows – from the Fleet Street of 1492 to present-day New York.It’s a tale of contingencies and quirks, of successes and failures, of routes forward and paths not taken. This is a history of book-making that leaves ink on your fingers, and shows why the printed book will continue to flourish. ‘Evocative and fascinating’ EMMA SMITH, author of Portable Magic‘A brilliant time machine of a book’ JOSEPH HONE, author of The Book Forger

Zigzagging across the centuries and straddling the globe, Sally Coulthard explores how the apple travelled along the Silk Road from Central Asia to Europe, appearing as an erotically charged symbol in Greek myth and poetry and even featuring in the shopping list of a senior Roman officer stationed on Hadrian’s Wall. She samples the cider that flowed from the emperor. Charlemagne’s orchards in the early Middle Ages, and relishes the crispness of the yellow sweeting, the first new apple variety to be cultivated in seventeenth-century America. And she discovers why, despite the existence of more than 7500 varieties of apple – from the ubiquitous Granny Smith to the purple-skinned Black Diamond of Tibet – only a handful of cultivars are available in modern supermarkets. Amplified by mouth-wateringly appley recipes and the stories behind them, The Apple: A Delicious History embraces not only culinary, horticultural, social and commercial history but also age-old traditions in mythology, folklore and religion. It is the perfect gift book for gardeners and nature lovers – and for anyone who enjoys a drop of cider or a slice of apple pie.

Audiokniha: Fascinující pohled na lidské zlo. Americký psychiatr předkládá originální pohled na letitý problém lidského zla. Nedostatek vnitřní integrity a nejistota nás nutí podvádět druhé, žít ve lži a obelhávat sami sebe i druhé. Uzavíráme smlouvu s ďáblem, aby nás ochránil před sebou samými? ptá se americký psychiatr. A klade si otázku, kde tkví samotná podstata lidského zla. Na příkladech ze své psychiatrické praxe demonstruje průvodní jevy zla v každodenním životě. Vypráví o chlapci, který se nemůže vyrovnat se sebevraždou staršího bratra, o úspěšném muži středního věku, jenž propadne znepokojujícím utkvělým myšlenkám, o dospívajícím mladíkovi, jehož dusí pokrytecky spořádané rodinné prostředí. Nedostatek vnitřní integrity, předsudky a nejistota nutí tyto lidi podvádět druhé, žít ve lži a obelhávat sami sebe. Obětují i druhé, aby ochránili obraz vlastní dokonalosti.
