A unique and gloriously nostalgic account of one eventful year in the fire service for readers who loved books such as CALL THE MIDWIFE and TRUST ME, I''M A VET and the brand new ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL.Nothing about the county fire service was quite what Malcolm expected when he joined the watch in Shrewsbury. As the newest member of the service he was first in line when swans terrorised the high street - and when a flock of owls got stuck on the roof of his local pub. Eighteen years old and more than ready to rush into burning buildings to save fair damsels in distress, young Malcolm soon realised he was more likely to be jumping into slurry pits and rivers to rescue any number of unfortunate animals. But for all the embarrassing situations Malcolm found himself in there were heart-stopping dramas too - and tragic farm and house fires. As he learns on the job and begins to win the respect of the old-timers, Malcolm starts to feel that maybe, one day, he just might make it as a fireman. But first he has to catch the eye of the smiley secretary in the office opposite the station ... Funny, moving and gloriously nostalgic, All Fired Up paints a unique portrait of rural Britain - and shows just how surprising a fireman''s life can be.

Featuring funny artwork and wonderfully accessible text this book celebrates each family in its own unique and wonderful way. What is a family?

From a mum and dad or single parent to two mums or two dads, from a mixed-race family to children with different mums and dads, to families with a disabled member. This is a fresh, optimistic look through children's eyes at today's wide variety of family life: from homes, food, ways of celebrating, schools and holidays to getting around, jobs and housework, from extended families, languages and hobbies to pets and family trees. The Great Big Book of Families is a brilliant introduction for children to all family types great and small.

''If life could write, it would write like Tolstoy.'' Isaac BabelTolstoy''s epic masterpiece intertwines the lives of private and public individuals during the time of the Napoleonic wars and the French invasion of Russia. The fortunes of the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, of Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, are intimately connected with the national history that is played out in parallel with their lives. Balls and soirées alternate with councils of war and the machinations of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles with everyday human passions in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power has never been surpassed. The prodigious cast of characters, both great and small, seem to act and move as if connected by threads of destiny as the novel relentlessly questions ideas of free will, fate, and providence. Yet Tolstoy''s portrayal of marital relations and scenes of domesticity is as truthful and poignant as the grand themes that underlie them.In this revised and updated version of the definitive and highly acclaimed Maude translation, Tolstoy''s genius and the power of his prose are made newly available to the contemporary reader. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

''Excellent ... much to ponder'' Financial TimesIn 1945, Europe lay in ruins - its cities and towns destroyed by conflict, its economies crippled, its societies ripped apart by war and violence. In the wake of the physical devastation came profound moral questions: how could Europe - once proudly confident of its place at the heart of the ''civilised world'' - have done this to itself? And what did it mean that it had?In the years that followed, Europeans - from politicians to refugees, poets to campaigners, religious leaders to communist revolutionaries - tried to make sense of what had happened, and to forge a new understanding of civilisation that would bring peace and progress to a broken continent. As they wrestled with questions great and small - from the legacy of colonialism to workplace etiquette - institutions and shared ideals emerged which still shape our world today. Drawing on original sources as well as individual stories and voices, this is a gripping and authoritative account of how Europe rose from the ashes of the Second World War, forging itself anew in the process.

Their purpose is assassination. They have been hired to do this by two of the most dangerous men alive. The consequences will affect so many lives both great and small, and possibly alter the balance of power in the world.One of those arriving on that night strand is a woman abducted by corsairs from her home as a child, escaping that fate, that destiny, years after, now trying to chart her own course - and bent upon revenge. Another figure, on the boat, bringing it to meet the secretive landing party at the city where they are going, is a merchant who still remembers being exiled as a child with his family from their home, for their faith.Returning triumphantly to the brilliantly evoked near-Renaissance world of his most recent novels, international bestseller Guy Gavriel Kay deploys his signature ''quarter turn to the fantastic'' to offer readers a wide-ranging, vividly memorable set of characters in a story of vengeance, power, and love, built around profoundly contemporary themes of exile, loss, and memory.In a narrative of page-turning drama, All the Seas of the World also offers moving reflections on choices, fate, and the random events that can shape our lives.

WINNER OF THE 2018 WOLFSON HISTORY PRIZE  Centuries on, what the Reformation was and what it accomplished remain deeply contentious. Peter Marshall’s sweeping new history—the first major overview for general readers in a generation—argues that sixteenth-century England was a society neither desperate for nor allergic to change, but one open to ideas of “reform” in various competing guises. King Henry VIII wanted an orderly, uniform Reformation, but his actions opened a Pandora’s Box from which pluralism and diversity flowed and rooted themselves in English life.  With sensitivity to individual experience as well as masterfully synthesizing historical and institutional developments, Marshall frames the perceptions and actions of people great and small, from monarchs and bishops to ordinary families and ecclesiastics, against a backdrop of profound change that altered the meanings of “religion” itself. This engaging history reveals what was really at stake in the overthrow of Catholic culture and the reshaping of the English Church.

Audiokniha: Nahlédněte do kouzelného a nezapomenutelného světa Jamese Herriota, nejoblíbenějšího veterináře na světě, a jeho zvěřince vtipných, hřejivých, ale někdy i smutných příběhů zvířecích pacientů. Už přes čtyřicet let se mohou celé generace čtenářů ponořit do Herriotových úžasných příběhů plných lásky k životu a skvělého vyprávění. Jako veterinář Herriot projížděl odlehlými kouty anglického Yorkshiru, léčil malé i velké pacienty a prožíval různá dobrodružství. V audioknize To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo potkáváme mladého Herriota, který zjišťuje, že realita povolání veterináře v rurálním Yorkshiru je úplně jiná než sterilní prostředí veterinární školy. Vesnická idyla pro veterináře totiž není tak úplně idyla. Některé návštěvy pacientů jsou srdcervoucí, jako třeba péče o velmi nemocného, starého psa, jehož pán už nikoho jiného na světě nemá, ale jiné zase legrační, jako Herriotovy pravidelné návštěvy překrmeného pekingského palácového psíka, který má vlastní večírky. Herriot se jako čerstvý absolvent musí naučit pečovat o své pacienty uprostřed zimy na těch nejodlehlejších farmách, jednat s tvrdohlavými majiteli, zmatenými kolegy a starat se o kriticky nemocná zvířata a postupně objevuje úžasnou rozmanitost a nikdy nekončící výzvy veterinární praxe se sobě vlastním humorem, soucitem a láskou ke zvířatům. Výborně napsané příběhy, ke kterým se budete rádi vracet i po letech. Tato audiokniha je vydáním prvních dvou dílů oblíbené veterinářské série – Kéž by uměli mluvit a To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo. Autor: James Herriot, vlastním jménem James Alfred Wight, byl britský spisovatel a veterinář. Po ukončení studia veterinární školy v Glasgow se v roce 1940 odstěhoval do Yorkshiru, kde vykonával veterinářskou praxi – léčil hospodářská zvířata, ale i menší zvířata, jako psy a kočky. Za druhé světové války Herriot sloužil v Britském královském letectvu. Proslavil se hlavně svými veterinárními příběhy inspirovanými jeho skutečným životem. Interpret: Ondřej Novák, rodák z Hradce Králové sbíral divadelní zkušenosti od šesti let v dramatickém kroužku, později v Divadélku Jesličky nebo Klicperově divadle, které úspěšně zúročil při přijímacích zkouškách na Divadelní fakultu JAMU. Po absolutoriu činoherního herectví se stal členem činohry Národního divadla Brno, kde strávil více než 13 sezón. Na jevišti brněnského Mahenova divadla se objevoval například v rolích Kalafuny, Figara, Danceny nebo Ježibaby v Perníkové chaloupce. Kromě divadla se věnoval i dabingu, natáčení reklamních rozhlasových i TV spotů a moderování odpolední show v rádiu Kisshády, kde byl i několik let programovým ředitelem nebo kreativním manažerem. Dnes je Ondřej Novák hercem a moderátorem na volné noze, hlasem pořadu Autosalon, namlouvá a vymýšlí reklamy do rádií, televize a na internet. Dále také namlouvá audioknihy a komentáře, zajímá se o marketing, copywriting a každý večer se snaží číst pohádky svým dětem.

Audiokniha: Četba z jedné z mnoha knih populárního britského spisovatele. James Herriot vlastním jménem James Alfred Wight, přáteli zvaný Alf, byl populární britský veterinář a spisovatel, autor mnoha knih ze života zvěrolékaře. Narodil se v roce 1916 v anglickém Sunderlandu, v době, kdy už rodina bydlela ve skotském Glasgow. Ve Skotsku v 23 letech ukončil veterinární školu a krátce poté se odstěhoval do Yorkshiru, kde pak po celý život vykonával v městě Thirlby zvěrolékařskou praxi a kde je dnes v jeho původní ordinaci muzeum Svět Jamese Herriota. V roce 1941 se oženil s Joan Catherine Anderson Danburyovou, postupně se jim narodily dvě děti, James Alexandr (1942), který později přebral otcovu veterinární praxi, a dcera Rosemary (1947), která se stala lékařkou. James Herriot napsal sérii knih, ve kterých zvěčnil mnoho komických příhod ze své veterinární praxe. Prvotina mu vyšla až v 50 letech. Pod pseudonymem (James Herriot byl skotský fotbalový brankář) psal kvůli zákonu, který zakazoval veterinářům podobnou reklamu. Jeho knihy byly velice populární nejen ve Velké Británii a USA, ale byly přeloženy do mnoha jazyků a dočkaly se i filmového zpracování a devadesátidílného seriálu, v němž hrál Herriota Christopher Timothy. Jeho knihy byly přeloženy i do češtiny, mezi nejznámější patří To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo, Zvěrolékař a psí historky, Zvěrolékař a kočičí historky, Zvěrolékař na blatech nebo Veterinář v chomoutu. V několika knihách, např. Zvěrolékař mezi nebem a zemí, se Herriot vrátil i ke své válečné službě u Britského královského letectva v roce 1942. James Herriot zemřel na rakovinu v roce 1995, v 78 letech, ve svém domě v Thirlby. Od roku 2009 jezdí ze Sunderlandu do Londýna vlak, který nese jeho jméno.

Stále pracuje v ordinaci Skeldale House v městečku Darrowby, cestuje mezi odlehlými farmami na svazích kopců a malebnými vesničkami v proměnlivém podnebí Yorkshire Dales a stará se o jejich čtyřnohé - a někdy i dvounohé - obyvatele, bojuje s rozmary a tvrdohlavostí svých chlupatých pacientů a s nedobytnými peněženkami jejich rázovitých majitelů. A stále zůstává v úžasu nad rozmanitostí a nikdy nekončícími výzvami venkovské veterinární praxe. Společnost mu dělají mírně chaotický kolega Siegfried, jeho lehkomyslný bratr, věčný student Tristan a přísná hospodyně paní Hallová, které posluchači už dobře znají. Herriotův hluboký soucit, poctivost, humor a láska k životu, lidskému i zvířecímu, z jeho knih vyzařují od první do poslední stránky. Na motivy jeho děl vznikl britský seriál Všechny velké a malé bytosti, který se zatím dočkal čtyř sérií a zhlédnout jste jej mohli i v České televizi. Herriotových knih se na světě prodalo přes osmdesát milionů výtisků. Autor: James Herriot, vlastním jménem James Alfred Wight, byl britský spisovatel a veterinář. Po ukončení studia veterinární školy v Glasgow se v roce 1940 odstěhoval do Yorkshiru, kde vykonával veterinářskou praxi – léčil hospodářská zvířata, ale i menší zvířata, jako psy a kočky. Za druhé světové války Herriot sloužil v Britském královském letectvu. Proslavil se hlavně svými veterinárními příběhy inspirovanými jeho skutečným životem. Interpret: Ondřej Novák Rodák z Hradce Králové sbíral divadelní zkušenosti od šesti let v dramatickém kroužku, později v Divadélku Jesličky nebo Klicperově divadle, které úspěšně zúročil při přijímacích zkouškách na Divadelní fakultu JAMU.

Nahlédněte do kouzelného a nezapomenutelného světa Jamese Herriota, nejoblíbenějšího veterináře na světě. Už přes čtyřicet let se mohou celé generace čtenářů ponořit do Herriotových úžasných příběhů plných lásky k životu a skvělého vyprávění. Jako veterinář Herriot projížděl odlehlými kouty anglického Yorkshiru, léčil malé i velké pacienty a prožíval různá dobrodružství. V knížce To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo potkáváme mladého Herriota, který zjišťuje, že realita povolání veterináře v rurálním Yorkshiru je úplně jiná než sterilní prostředí veterinární školy. Vesnická idyla pro veterináře totiž není tak úplně idyla. Některé návštěvy pacientů jsou srdcervoucí, jako třeba péče o velmi nemocného, starého psa, jehož pán už nikoho jiného na světě nemá, ale jiné zase legrační, jako Herriotovy pravidelné návštěvy překrmeného pekingského palácového psíka, který má vlastní večírky. Herriot se jako čerstvý absolvent musí naučit pečovat o své pacienty uprostřed zimy na těch nejodlehlejších farmách, jednat s tvrdohlavými majiteli, zmatenými kolegy a starat se o kriticky nemocná zvířata a postupně objevuje úžasnou rozmanitost a nikdy nekončící výzvy veterinární praxe se sobě vlastním humorem, soucitem a láskou ke zvířatům. Herriotův hluboký soucit, poctivost, humor a láska k životu, lidskému i zvířecímu, z jeho knih vyzařují od první do poslední stránky. Na motivy jeho děl vznikl britský seriál Všechny velké a malé bytosti, který se zatím dočkal čtyř sérií a zhlédnout jste jej mohli i v České televizi. Herriotových knih se na světě prodalo přes osmdesát milionů výtisků.

In this classic collection of stories, we are introduced to some of the dogs who won a special place in the country vet’s heart – from Tricki Woo, the little Pekinese suffering from ‘flop-butt’ to Clancy the dog who nobody would go near and Gyp, the sheepdog who only ever barked once in his life. They’re joined by lovable dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes, celebrating the limitless affection and loyalty of our closest companions. Filled with magical storytelling and from the treasured author of All Creatures Great and Small, James Herriot’s Dog Stories is told with his usual wit and human compassion – the perfect gift for dog-lovers everywhere.

Audiokniha: Jiří Lábus čte příběhy o psech z knihy populárního britského spisovatele a veterináře Když se v roce 1966 objevila na knižních pultech kniha povídek dosud neznámého autora Jamese Herriota, kritika ji označila za nakladatelský zázrak. Povídky, v nichž autor líčil příhody a historky ze své veterinární praxe a zároveň vykresloval svět rázovitých obyvatel Yorkshiru, si podmanily čtenáře svým jemným humorem a životním optimismem. Herriotovi bylo v té době již padesát let a jeho životní zážitky vydaly ještě na další řádku úspěšných knih. O psaní knih snil James Alfred Wight, tak znělo jeho pravé jméno, mnoho let, ale při náročném povolání venkovského veterináře mu nezbýval čas. Do Yorkshiru se přistěhoval záhy po absolvování veterinární školy ve svých třiadvaceti letech, protože tu získal práci ve veterinární ordinaci. Jako každý začátečník i on měl mladické sny o svém budoucím povolání. Herriotovým snem bylo léčení malých zvířat, koček a psů. Narazil však na limity tehdejší veterinární medicíny, která léčení domácích mazlíčků opomíjela a za své pravé poslání považovala péči o velká hospodářská zvířata. Telení krav, ošetřování koňských kopyt a uzdravování skotu, ovcí a vepřů si mladý zvěrolékař užil více než dost. Postupně však získával i první psí a kočičí pacienty. Psi se stávali častými hrdiny jeho příběhů, které čtenářsky patřily k těm nejúspěšnějším. Protože byly rozptýleny v několika knihách, sebral je Herriot později do jednoho souboru. Na toto CD jsme vybrali příběhy o psech, jež patřily k Herriotově nejoblíbenějším. Ať už se zaposloucháte do příhod rozmazleného pekinéze Tricki Woo, veselého psího klauna Brandyho nebo tuláka Jakea, zjistíte, že pouto mezi zvířetem a „jeho“ člověkem patří k malým zázrakům, jež náš život naplňují láskou a oddaností.
