Audiokniha: Dramatický příběh prvního pokusu o výstup na nejvyšší horu světa Kniha vychází u příležitosti stého výročí památné expedice. První pokus o výstup na Mount Everest v roce 1922 v podání George Leigha Malloryho a britské výpravy kolem něj je neobyčejný příběh plný kontroverzí, dramatu a neštěstí, obsazený řadou postav větších než život sám, jako vypadlých z dobrodružného románu. Expedice skončila tragédií ve chvíli, kdy při třetím útoku na vrchol zasáhla Malloryho skupinu lavina a zabila sedm mužů. Mick Conefrey na základě deníků, dopisů a dosud nezveřejněných zpráv vytvořil barvitý a na postavy zaměřený příběh, mapující motivaci a soukromá dramata klíčových účastníků (podrobně rozebírá jejich zákulisní politikaření a nesmiřitelnou rivalitu), strůjců tohoto epického dobrodružství. Přestože Everest zůstává zdaleka nejslavnější horou světa, v posledních letech se jeho pověst dramaticky změnila, a to kvůli dlouhým frontám horolezců ve stěně Lhoce, děsivým příběhům o zmrzlých mrtvolách a hromadám vysokohorských skládek. Nebylo tomu tak nicméně vždy. Mount Everest bývalo kdysi odlehlé a nepřístupné, mysteriózní místo, na které se odvažovali jen ti největší hrdinové.

The title of Elaine Beckett’s debut collection suggests a process of unstoppable change. Moments of personal and global crisis are juxtaposed, and examined from different perspectives so that her poems reveal how humanity is in a constant state of flux. This is ambitious work, acute in its commitment to the truth of lived experience. Beckett’s watch-maker’s eye for detail, impeccable ear, and intricate use of poetic form, reveal truths with a compassion that moves her work way beyond the confessional. Arranged in seven short sequences, that spiral round themes of loss, betrayal, delight and re-birth, this is a beautifully wrought collection; at times hard hitting and painful, yet funny and moving, and always surprising. ‘Occasionally a poet comes along pretty much fully formed.

Elaine Halligan''s My Child''s Different: The lessons learned from one family''s struggle to unlock their son''s potential explores the enabling role that parents can play in bringing the best out of children who are seen as ''different'' or ''difficult''. Foreword by Dr Laura Markham. Society favours children, and adults, who conform. The notion that our children may be shunned for being ''different'' breaks our hearts, but there is plenty we can do to help such children develop into thriving, resilient adults.

He had become ''the Alphabet Kid''. His family never gave up on him, however Drawing lessons from Sam''s transformational journey from difficult child to budding entrepreneur, My Child''s Different offers encouragement to parents who may be concerned about what the future might hold, and demonstrates how with the right support and positive parenting skills their children can grow up to surprise and delight them.

Kenton Cool is the finest alpine climber of this generation. His accomplishments are staggering. He has summited Everest twelve times. He is the first person in history to climb the three Everest peaks, the so-called Triple Crown, in one climb, a feat previously thought impossible. He was nominated for the prestigious piolet d''Or in 2004 for climbing a previously unclimbed route on Annapurna III. In 2012 he fulfilled the Olympic Games pledge of placing a 1924 gold medal on the Everest summit. He is the only Briton to have skied down two 8000-metre mountains, and in 2009 he guided Sir Ranulph Fiennes to the summit of Everest, helping to raise over £3 million for Marie Curie Cancer Care.His accomplishments are all the more extraordinary considering an incident in the summer of 1996 which tore Kenton''s world apart. Whilst climbing in Wales, he broke a handhold on a route aptly called ''Major Headstress'' and fell to the ground with such force that he shattered both his heel bones. Initially told he would never walk unaided again, Kenton spent four weeks in hospital, had three operations, three and a half months in a wheelchair and months of rehab. Today he is still ...

Kniha - autor Mick Conefrey, 328 stran, česky, pevná s přebalem lesklá Kniha vychází u příležitosti stého výročí památné expedice. První pokus o výstup na Mount Everest v roce 1922 v podání George Leigha Malloryho a britské výpravy kolem něj je neobyčejný příběh plný kontroverzí, dramatu a neštěstí, obsazený řadou postav větších než život sám, jako vypadlých z dobrodružného románu. Expedice skončila tragédií ve chvíli, kdy při třetím útoku na vrchol zasáhla Malloryho skupinu lavina a zabila sedm mužů. Mick Conefrey na základě deníků, dopisů a dosud nezveřejněných zpráv vytvořil barvitý a na postavy zaměřený příběh, mapující motivaci a soukromá dramata klíčových účastníků (podrobně rozebírá jejich zákulisní politikaření a nesmiřitelnou rivalitu), strůjců tohoto epického dobrodružství. Přestože Everest zůstává zdaleka nejslavnější horou světa, v posledních letech se jeho pověst dramaticky změnila, a to kvůli dlouhým frontám horolezců ve stěně Lhoce, děsivým...

Behind Everest embarks on a captivating exploration that intertwines the remarkable life of Ruth Mallory, wife of legendary Everest climber George Mallory, with a parallel journey a century later. Through examining Ruth’s attitude to danger a century ago, Kate Nicholson explores our evolving attitudes towards risk and responsibility. Kate’s quest to understand Ruth takes her to forgotten corners of archives in the UK and USA, to conversations with the few remaining people who knew both George and Ruth and into private recollections and precious, private collections. Using two decades of research, the author unveils the real story behind Ruth and George Mallory’s marriage, shedding light on George’s relationships with women such as Jelly d’Aranyi, Mary Ann O’Malley, and Stella Cobden-Sanderson. Stella, like Ruth, hailed from Arts and Crafts ‘royalty,’ both women were daughters of strong feminists but only Ruth chose to climb. Ruth was a natural and accomplished climber, a founder member of the first all female rock climbing club in the UK, the Pinnacle Club. As Kate experiences the challenges and triumphs of rock climbing with that still thriving club, she discovers not only the elusive ‘key’ to George Mallory but also an inspiring and resilient companion in Ruth. ...
