Agatha Christie: The Sunday Times Bestseller - Lucy Worsleyová
'One brilliant woman writing about another: an irresistible combination.' - Antonia Fraser'One of the most delightful biographies I have ever read.' - A.N. Wilson'Reading Worsley is as enjoyable as reading Christie herself.' - Ruth Scurr'Full of unique insight, eye opening detail, sharp analysis... Gripping.' - Kate Williams 'Nobody in the world was more inadequate to act the heroine than I was.'Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was 'just' an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? As Lucy Worsley says, 'She was thrillingly, scintillatingly modern'.She went surfing in Hawaii, she loved fast cars, and she was intrigued by the new science of psychology, which helped her through devastating mental illness. So why - despite all the evidence to the contrary - did Agatha present herself as a retiring Edwardian lady of leisure? She was born in 1890 into a world which had its own rules about what women could and couldn't do. Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of an internationally renowned bestselling writer.It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. With access to personal letters and papers that have rarely been seen, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realise what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was - truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

Agatha Christie - Tajuplná žena - Lucy Worsleyová
Agatha Christie byla geniální autorkou mnoha slavných detektivních románů, stvořila takové postavy jako Hercule Poirota, slečna Marplová, sama ale vystupovala jako „obyčejná žena v domácnosti, přestože jí zjevně nebyla. Její život je plný tajemství a záhad, stejně jako její knihy. Narodila se v roce 1890 do světa, v němž si ženy obtížně vybojovávaly svou pozici. A přesto studovala hudbu v Paříži, zajímala se o moderní psychologii, během první světové války pracovala jako dobrovolná sestra, milovala rychlá auta, v Bagdádu se věnovala archeologii a především se stala mezinárodně uznávanou spisovatelkou. Lucy Worsleyovou zaujal její život natolik, že se rozhodla napsat biografii, která odhaluje její málo známé dopisy a dokumenty. Velmi poutavě líčí životní příběh této výjimečné ženy, jenž byl nesmírně bohatý a plodný. Agatha Christie o sobě tvrdila, že není žádná hrdinka, ale tato kniha ukazuje, že byla opravdovou průkopnicí nejen v literatuře, ale i v mnoha dalších oblastech.

Birnam Wood: The Sunday Times Bestseller - Eleanor Cattonová
FROM THE WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZEBirnam Wood is on the move...A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass in New Zealand's South Island, cutting off the town of Thorndike, leaving a sizable farm abandoned. The disaster presents an opportunity for Birnam Wood, a guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. But they hadn't figured on the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine, who also has an interest in the place. Can they trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust each other?A propulsive literary thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries, Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama and immersion in character. It is a brilliantly constructed tale of intentions, actions and consequences, and an unflinching examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.

Jane Austenová - Lucy Worsleyová
Nové a neotřelé vyprávění o životě Jane Austenové osvětluje, jak autorka žila, proč si zvolila svou cestu a jaké prostředí ji ovlivňovalo. Nešlo jen o venkovská sídla a taneční sály, šlo o život často plný bolestných bojů. Austenová zdánlivě proplouvala „životem bez událostí“, ale díky novým výzkumům a náhledům nám historička Lucy Worsleyová odhaluje vášnivou ženu bojující za svou svobodu. Ženu, která neodpovídala obrazu osamělé staré panny (ve skutečnosti dostala pětkrát nabídku k sňatku) a odmítala se usadit s kýmkoli menším, než byl její pan Darcy.

Women Our History - Lucy Worsleyová
Re-examining history from a female perspective, this book celebrates the numerous important roles women have played in culture and society that are less often told. Packed full of evocative images, this gloriously illustrated book reveals the key events in women's history - from early matriarchal societies through women's suffrage, the Suffragette movement, 20th-century feminism and gender politics, to recent movements such as #MeToo and International Women's Day - and the key role women have had in shaping our past. Learn about the everyday lives of women through the ages as well as the big ?names of women's history - powerful, inspirational, and trailblazing women such as Cleopatra, Florence Nightingale, Emmeline Pankhurst, Eva Peron, and Rosa Parks - and discover the unsung contributions of lesser-known women who have changed the world, and the "forgotten" events of women's history. Placing women firmly centre stage, Women - Our History shows women where they have come from, and, in celebrating the achievements of women of the past offers positive role models for women of today
