On the same day that his wife gave birth to twins, Anthony Doerr received the Rome Prize, an award that gave him a year-long stipend and studio in Rome…‘Four Seasons in Rome’ charts the repercussions of that day, describing Doerr''s varied adventures in one of the most enchanting cities in the world, and the first year of parenthood. He reads Pliny, Dante, and Keats – the chroniclers of Rome who came before him – and visits the piazzas, temples, and ancient cisterns they describe. He attends the vigil of a dying Pope John Paul II and takes his twins to the Pantheon in December to wait for snow to fall through the oculus. He and his family are embraced by the butchers, grocers, and bakers of the neighbourhood, whose clamour of stories and idiosyncratic child-rearing advice is as compelling as the city itself.This intimate and revelatory book is a celebration of Rome, a wondrous look at new parenthood and a fascinating account of the alchemy of writers.

A remarkable collection of stories from a young American writer of huge potential. ‘A show-stopping debut, as close to faultless as any writer could wish for.’ Los Angeles Times ‘His fingers dug the shell up, he felt the sleek egg of its body, the toothy gap of its aperture. It was the most elegant thing he’d ever held. “That’s a mouse cowry,” the doctor said. “A lovely find. It has brown spots, and darker stripes at its base, like tiger stripes. You can’t see it, can you?” But he could. He’d never seen anything so clearly in his life.’ In this assured, exquisite debut, Anthony Doerr takes readers from the African coast to the suburbs of Ohio, from sideshow pageantry to harsh wilderness survival, conjuring nature in both its beautiful abundance and its crushing power. The blind hero of the title story spends his days roaming the beaches of Kenya, his fingers ploughing through sandy granules of grace and intrigue, his German Shepherd at his side. And then there are whale-watchers and fishermen, hunters and mystics, living lives uncompleted or undone, caught, memorably, as they turn toward the reader. A natural storyteller, Doerr explores the human dilemma in all its ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Hrdinové románu Cloud Cuckoo Land se snaží pochopit svět kolem sebe: Anna a Omeir na protějších stranách impozantního městského opevnění v průběhu obléhání Konstantinopole v roce 1453; pubertální idealista Seymour útočící na veřejnou knihovnu v současnosti; a Kontance na mezihvězdné lodi na cestě k exoplanetě několik desítek let v budoucnosti.Stejně jako Marie-Laure v románu Jsou světla, která nevidíme, jsou Anna, Omeir, Seymour a Konstance snílci a outsideři, kteří v sobě dokážou najít vynalézavost a naději uprostřed nebezpečí.Starobylý text – příběh Aethona, který se touží stát ptákem, aby mohl vzlétnout do utopického ráje v nebi – poskytuje těmto nezapomenutelným postavám útěchu, ale zároveň je pro ně jakýmsi tajemstvím. Doerr utkal tapiserii časů a míst, která odráží naše nesmírné propojení – navzájem mezi sebou, s jinými druhy, s těmi, kteří žili před námi, a s těmi, kteří tu budou, až už tady nebudeme.Cloud Cuckoo Land, věnovaný „knihovníkům dneška, včerejška a následujících let“, je neuvěřitelně krásný román od žijícího klasika americké literatury, v němž se minulost, přítomnost i budoucnost propojuje ve velkolepý celek.

#1 bestselling author and acclaimed venture capitalist John Doerr reveals a sweeping action plan to conquer humanity''s greatest challenge: climate change.In 2006, John Doerr was moved by Al Gore''s An Inconvenient Truth and a challenge from his teenage daughter: "Dad, your generation created this problem. You better fix it." Since then, Doerr has searched for solutions to this existential problem-as an investor, an advocate and a philanthropist. Fifteen years later, despite breakthroughs in batteries, electric vehicles, plant-based proteins and solar and wind power, global warming continues to get worse. Its impact is all around us: droughts, floods, wildfires, the melting of the polar ice caps. Our world is squarely in a climate crisis and on the brink of a climate disaster. Yet despite our state of emergency, climate change has yet to be tackled with the urgency and ambition it demands. More than ever, we need a clear course of action. Fueled by a powerful tool called Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), SPEED & SCALE offers an unprecedented global plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions before it''s too late.

Find freedom for your soul and joy for your spirit when you discover the secret of a living a grace-filled life.Have we forgotten the meaning of grace? Preachers preach it. Teachers teach it. Theologians analyze it. Then we forget about it.In The Grace Awakening author and trusted pastor Chuck Swindoll calls you (and all Christians) to wake up and reject living in a legalistic, performance-oriented bondage. He says, "Bound and shackled by legalists'' lists of do''s and don''ts, intimidated and immobilized by others'' demands and expectations, far too many in God''s family merely exist in the tight radius of bondage, dictated by those who have appointed themselves our judge and jury." But, the God of the universe has given you, and every other Christian, the amazing, revolutionary gift of grace and freedom. This freedom and grace sets Christianity apart from every other "religion" on the face of the earth.With his characteristic style and gentle authority, Swindoll disarms the counterattack of those who do not preach grace-filled living and claim that focusing on grace would fill our churches with wild, undisciplined people with no godliness in evidence.

Historický román Alias Grace je založen na skutečných událostech, vraždách Thomase Kinneara a Nancy Montgomeryové, z nichž byla obviněna mladičká služebná Grace Marksová a sluha James McDermott. Za mladou Grace, trpící ztrátou paměti, přijíždí do věznice po deseti letech mladý psychiatr Simon Jordan, aby se v ní pokusil vzkřísit pohřbené vzpomínky a zjistil, jestli zločin skutečně spáchala. Během dlouhých rozhovorů hledá cestu do její paměti skrz sny a dotazy na dětství strávené v Irsku, odkud se celá rodina přesunula do Kanady za lepším životem. Přes původně čistě profesionální zájem o Gracin případ se postupně zaplétá do jejího příběhu. Gracino vyprávění i Jordanovy životní peripetie se odehrávají v kulisách Kanady první poloviny 19. století. Propracovaný historický román patří mezi nejdůležitější a nejčtenější díla Margaret Atwoodové - v roce 2017 podle něj natočila společnost Netflix oceňovaný televizní seriál. "Alias Grace uhání kupředu tempem komerčního román a má sílu budoucí klasiky." - Washington Post Book World "Ať už je Grace z pera Margaret Atwoodové zloduška, nebo oběť, vždycky je to fascinující společnice." - People "V románu Alias Grace je všechno, co má fantastická knížka mít: napětí, tajemství, vzrušení a dokonale propracované historické prostředí." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

#1 on AMAZON, TWENTY WEEKS on the NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST, and a WALL STREET JOURNAL, USA TODAY and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY NATIONAL BESTSELLEROver 1,000,000 copies sold despite censorship, boycotts from bookstores and libraries, and hit pieces against the author. Pharma-funded mainstream media has convinced millions of Americans that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a hero. Hands down, he is anything but. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for rigged scientific research, allowing him to dictate the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe—truly a dark agenda. Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal in a back handed manner to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals, and thousands of influential doctors and scientists—whose careers and institutions he has the power to ruin, advance, or reward in an authoritarian manner. During more than a year of painstaking and meticulous research on his laptop and through interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unearthed a shocking story that obliterates media spin on Dr. Fauci . . . and that will alarm every American—Democrat or Republican—who cares about democracy, our Constitution, and the future ...

Academy Award-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins delves into his illustrious film and theatre career, difficult childhood and path to sobriety in his honest, moving and long-awaited memoir. Born and raised in Port Talbot – a small Welsh steelworks town – amid war and depression, Sir Anthony Hopkins grew up around men who were tough, to say the least, and eschewed all forms of emotional vulnerability in favor of alcoholism and brutality. A struggling student in school, he was deemed by his peers, his parents and other adults as a failure with no future ahead of him. But, on a fateful Saturday night, the disregarded Welsh boy watched the 1948 adaptation of Hamlet, sparking a passion for acting that would lead him on a path that no one could have predicted. With candour and a voice that is both arresting and vulnerable, Sir Anthony recounts his various career milestones and provides a once-in-a-lifetime look into the brilliance behind some of his most iconic roles. His performance as Iago gets him admitted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and places him under the wing of Laurence Olivier.

“A compelling story of a hymn rescued from the horror of slavery . . . in the author’s hands, 'Amazing Grace' lands firmly on the right side of history.”-TLSJourney through the history of "Amazing Grace," one of the transatlantic world's most popular hymns and a powerful anthem for humanity.  Sung in moments of personal isolation or on state occasions watched by millions, "Amazing Grace" has become an unparalleled anthem for humankind. How did a simple Christian hymn, written in a remote English vicarage in 1772, come to hold such sway over millions in all corners of the modern world? With this short, engaging cultural history, James Walvin offers an explanation.  The greatest paradox is that the author of "Amazing Grace," John Newton, was a former Liverpool slave captain. Walvin follows the song across the Atlantic to track how it became part of the cause for abolition and galvanized decades of movements and trends in American history and popular culture. By the end of the twentieth century, "Amazing Grace" was performed in Soweto and Vanuatu, by political dissidents in China, and by Kikuyu women in Kenya.
