Crikey, the world according to Clarkson s been a funny old place of late . . .For a while, Jeremy could be found in his normal position as the tallest man on British television but, more recently, he appears to have been usurped by a pretend elephant.But on paper the real Jeremy remains at the helm.

Motoristický pořad Top Gear sleduje po celém světě asi 350 milionů diváků, momentálně běží i na českém kanálu Prima Cool. Za jeho mimořádnou popularitou stojí zejména hlavní moderátor Jeremy Clarkson, autor této knihy. Začal ji psát, aby se vyznal ze své vášně pro auta a také aby zjistil, co vlastně lidi k nejrůznějším strojům tolik přitahuje. A k čemu došel? Že ty nejvíce fascinující automobily, letadla, ponorky, raketoplány a další technické výtvory mají jedno společné: za každým z nich najdeme nějakého vizionářského inženýra či nadšeného konstruktéra, který svému stroji vdechl duši a právě ta je tím, co nás ke strojům poutá. Mimoto se od Clarksona dozvíme některé zásadní informace, například kde se nejlíp schovat v případě nukleární války či kdo by vyhrál, kdyby se v souboji utkali Superman, James Bond a Terminátor. Jeremy Clarkson (1960) je britská moderátorská hvězda a autor dvanácti knižních bestsellerů. Miluje rychlá auta, která velmi svérázným způsobem testuje, představuje a komentuje ve svém pořadu Top Gear. Miliony fanoušků oceňují jeho břitký humor, který se nezastaví před ničím a před nikým. Svou obrovskou popularitu vysvětluje lapidárně: Žijeme v nudném světě a náš pořad je proto vítanou změnou.

Jeremy Clarkson, jedna z nejznámějších televizních osobností a bývalý moderátor motoristického pořadu Top Gear, jenž měl za jeho éry po světě stamiliony diváků, je velmi bystrý a taky vtipný novinář a publicista - a zajisté i ten nejvyšší a s nejvíce prořízlou pusou. Výbor z jeho článků představuje českému čtenáři pomyslnou a velmi vysokou laťku psaní nejen o autech, ale i o jiných příjemných i otravných jevech našeho každodenního života. Autor si nebere servítky před nikým a před ničím, ať je to ministerský předseda, ženská otázka, cyklisti, imigranti nebo nepořádek na ulicích. Vědomě a trefně se vysmívá především politické korektnosti, která ovládla Anglii i celou spojenou Evropu, a ukazuje opravdovou tvář lidí a stav našeho světa pomocí překotných, o to však legračnějších nadsázek. Jeremy Clarkson se narodil roku 1960 v Doncateru v hrabství Yorkshire do rodiny učitelky a obchodního cestujícího. Jako středoškolský student byl vyloučen ze soukromé školy v Reptonu za požívání alkoholu, kouření a nevhodné chování. Jeho prvním zaměstnáním bylo prodávat pro otcovu firmu plyšové figurky medvídka Paddingtona. Poté začal psát pro různé anglické listy, nejdříve lokální a pak i celostátní. Časem se vyprofiloval jako píšící odborník na automobily. Roku 1984 založil agenturu MPA, která se specializovala na testy nových vozů a pak je prodávala těm periodikům, která za ně byla ochotná zaplatit. Posléze začal psát o autech i do prestižního časopisu Top Gear a od roku 1988 se stal světoznámým moderátorem stejnojmenného pořadu televize BBC, kde s dvouletou přestávkou vydržel od roku 1988 do roku 2015, kdy byl vyhozen za to, že fyzicky napadl produkčního, který mu po celodenním natáčení nezajistil teplou večeři.

Welcome to Clarkson s farm. It s an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else Then one day he decided he would do the farming himself. After all, how hard could it be? Well . . . Faced with suffocating red tape, biblical weather, local objections, a global pandemic and his own frankly staggering ignorance of how to do farming , Jeremy soon realises that turning the farm round is going to take more than splashing out on a massive tractor. Fortunately, there s help at hand from a large and (mostly) willing team including girlfriend Lisa, Kaleb the Tractor Driver, Cheerful Charlie, Ellen the Shepherd and Gerald, his Head of Security and Dry Stone Waller. Between them they enthusiastically cultivate crops, rear livestock and hens, keep bees, bottle spring water and open a farm shop. But profits remain elusive. And yet while the farm may be called Diddly Squat for good reason, Jeremy soon begins to understand that it s worth a whole lot more to him than pounds, shillings and pence . . .

Audiokniha: Od Top Gear k farmě aneb Od rychlých aut k největšímu traktoru. Pokračování knihy bývalého moderátora televizního pořadu Top Gear, který si během covidu pořídil farmu a místo prohánění rychlých aut začal řídit největší traktor na světě. Pokračování první knihy sloupků slavného moderátora a novináře o jeho farmářských eskapádách. „Nadále miluju to, co dělám, ačkoli mi to moc nejde. Horší je, že teď mám něco, co je ze všeho nejnebezpečnější: trochu znalostí. Například poznám rozdíl mezi pšenicí a ječmenem... Ale ze všeho nejlépe vím, že farmaření je nesmírně náročná, i když nic moc placená práce.“ Clarkson píše s břitkým anglickým vtipem a nadhledem, humor ho však trochu přechází, když třeba glosuje vystoupení Velké Británie z Evropské unie, které kromě jiných důsledků silně poškodilo britské farmáře. Nepropadá však beznaději a dodává optimismus všem stejně postiženým, kteří rozjížděli nové projekty, ve kterých se měly otáčet peníze, aby pak jen s hrůzou sledovali, s jak nákladným neúspěchem končí. Ale i když se něco nedaří, alespoň nás Jeremy Clarkson pobaví.

It s been another memorable year on Diddly Squat Farm - will the chickens finally come home to roost? Welcome back to Clarkson’s Farm . . .Where the spring barley crop has failed. Just like the oil seed rape. And the oats turned the colour of a hearing aid.The mushrooms went mouldy. While the sheep, pigs and cows cost more than they earned. At least, the farm shop’s doing a roaring trade in candles – even if they smell like Jeremy’s knacker hammock.So never mind the rain, the skirmishes with the local planning department and the gargantuan hole in Jeremy’s wallet. Because it’s hard to feel too gloomy about life when there’s a JCB telehandler, a crop-spraying hovercraft and a digger waiting in the barn. For any man with several metric tons of powerful machinery at his fingertips must be doing something right . . .

Audiokniha: Ty nejúžasnější automobily, letadla, ponorky, raketoplány a další technické výtvory mají podle autora jedno společné: za každým z nich stojí vizionářský inženýr či nadšený konstruktér, který svému stroji vdechl duši , ať už šlo o luxusní vůz Rolls-Royce Phantom, letadlo Jumbo Jet, sportovní člun Riva Aquarama, nebo dokonce parabolickou anténu Arthur.

O „strojích s duší“ vypráví Zbyšek Horák, který byl od roku 2002 oficiálním českým hlasem Jeremyho Clarksona v pořadu Top Gear. „Clarkson vyznává svůj vztah k pro něj významným strojům v pestrém záběru od automobilů, přes samopaly, přehrady až ke kosmickým lodím. Vše popisuje s technickou i historickou přesností a koření brilantním světáckým pohledem i humorem.“ — Kultura21.cz

From the bestselling author of The English comes Empire, Jeremy Paxman s history of the British Empire accompanied by a flagship 5-part BBC TV series, for readers of Simon Schama and Andrew Marr.The influence of the British Empire is everywhere, from the very existence of the United Kingdom to the ethnic composition of our cities. It affects everything, from Prime Ministers decisions to send troops to war to the adventurers we admire. From the sports we think we re good at to the architecture of our buildings; the way we travel to the way we trade; the hopeless losers we will on, and the food we hunger for, the empire is never very far away.In this acute and witty analysis, Jeremy Paxman goes to the very heart of empire. As he describes the selection process for colonial officers ( intended to weed out the cad, the feeble and the too clever ) the importance of sport, the sweating domestic life of the colonial officer s wife ( the challenge with cooking meat was to grasp the fleeting moment between toughness and putrefaction when the joint may possibly prove eatable ) and the crazed end for General Gordon of Khartoum, Paxman brings brilliantly to life the tragedy and comedy of Empire and reveals its profound and lasting effect on our nation and ourselves. Paxman is witty, incisive, acerbic and opinionated . . . In short, he carries the whole thing off with panache bordering on effrontery Piers Brendon, Sunday Times Paxman is a magnificent historian, and Empire may be remembered as his finest work Independent on SundayJeremy Paxman was born in Yorkshire and educated at Cambridge. He is an award-winning journalist who spent ten years reporting from overseas, notably for Panorama. He is the author of five books including The English. He is the presenter of Newsnight and University Challenge and has presented BBC documentaries on various subjects including Victorian art and Wilfred Owen.

In the footsteps of artists and designers including Humphry and George Repton, and Victorian visionary, William Morris, who inspired the arts and crafts movement, and others such as Detmar Blow, Norman Jewson, Clough Williams-Ellisand Oliver Hill, we find a series of fascinating country houses of different sizes and atmospheres, which have shaped the English identity. Each house has their own story, but their distinctive honey-coloured stone walls, set amongst rollinghills, in different ways express the ideals of English life. Most of the houses included here are privately owned and not usually open to the public. In this beautifully produced book, they can now be enjoyed through the eyes of their owners, as well as an experienced architectural historian, and an award-winning photographer.

Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, author of This is Why I Resist: Don t Define My Black Identity Really packs a punch Aja Barber, author of Consumed: The Need for Collective Change: Colonialism, Climate Change, and ConsumerismWhen we talk about racism, we often mean personal prejudice or institutional biases. Climate change doesn’t work that way. It is structurally racist, disproportionately caused by majority White people in majority White countries, with the damage unleashed overwhelmingly on people of colour. The climate crisis reflects and reinforces racial injustices.In this eye-opening book, writer and environmental activist Jeremy Williams takes us on a short, urgent journey across the globe – from Kenya to India, the USA to Australia – to understand how White privilege and climate change overlap. We’ll look at the environmental facts, hear the experiences of the people most affected on our planet and learn from the activists leading the change.It’s time for each of us to find our place in the global struggle for justice.

An original history of the popular movement against the War on Terror⠔the greatest case of ⠜we told you so⠝ in modern political history.  Just after 9/11, President George W. Bush climbed the rubble where the World Trade Center had stood. Surrounded by shouts of anger, he said, ⠜The people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!⠝ With these words, Bush ushered in the War on Terror. Quickly, a global protest movement mobilized against it, reshaping the political, moral, and media landscape. Jeremy Varon⠙s Our Grief Is Not a Cry for War is the definitive history of that movement. Millions of Americans participated in thousands of acts of protest, from demonstrations to civil disobedience to peace encampments in Iraq. On February 15, 2003, up to 30 million people worldwide took to the streets in the largest protest in human history. But this enormous outcry was not enough to stop the US invasion of Iraq. Varon explores the limits to the movement⠙s power but also shows how it worked to make opposition to the Iraq War a part of public debate, hastening its end and limiting the broader War on Terror. In the book, you⠙ll meet the families of the 9/11 victims, Iraq War veterans, and Gold Star families who spoke out against war. Written with a lively and revelatory voice, Our Grief Is Not a Cry for War illuminates the passion of the peace movement, the mark it made, and the enduring legacies of the War on Terror.

Jack Sutherland, the narrator and protagonist of this memoir has, you might say, led a charmed life in the face of seeming damnation. A confirmed alcoholic in his early teens, by his twenties he was PA and bodyguard to the Hollywood stars most notably Michael Stipe, Ru Paul and Mickey Rourke. His work took him to exotic destinations around the world and bizarre encounters and requests. It also led him back to a smorgasbord of lethal addictions: alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy and perhaps most damaging of all crystal meth and the crazed chem sex that characterises its use. On the shores of death s coastline, a nine stone skeleton in a frame that once boasted the shape and tone of a bodybuilder, Jack is saved. By his father, one of the literary world s most esteemed personalities: John Sutherland.A son s memoir told through the prism and prose of a father will surely take its place among the classics of contemporary addiction and recovery stories like A Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man and Another Bullshit Night in Suck City. Stars, Cars Crystal Meth lifts the lid on the shadow world of the Hollywood PA with grim but ultimately inspiring honesty.

The fourth volume of Michael Palin s widely acclaimed diaries finds him embracing the first decade of a new century. In Travelling to Work, the third volume covering the years 1988-1998, Michael s career took an unexpected direction into travel after a decade of filming, writing and acting, and it is travel that would shape his working life for the next 25 years, with eight very successful television series including Around the World in 80 Days and Pole to Pole. The early years of the 21st century see Michael trekking around (around through) the world s largest desert in Sahara (2002) and travelling around some of the highest mountains in the world in Himalaya (2004), and for a complete change of scenery there was New Europe (2007), in which Michael travelled in the nations of Eastern Europe.In each case he wrote a book about his travels. These travel programmes were responsible for a phenomenon termed the Palin effect : areas of the world that Michael has visited suddenly becoming popular tourist attractions. Michael also wrote and presented documentary programmes on artists that interested him - the Scottish colonists in The Bright Side of Life; The Ladies Who Loved Matisse; and The Mystery of Hammershøi on the Danish artist.As a model railway enthusiast, he also had two trains named after him. He won a BAFTA Special Award in 2005 and another as part of the Monty Python team in 2009. Finally, in 2009 Michael was elected for a three-year term as President of the Royal Geographical Society.These latest Diaries show a man grasping every opportunity in a phenomenally varied life, and they deal candidly with the doubts and setbacks that accompany this prodigious work-rate. As ever, his family life is there to anchor him.

I was Top Gear s script editor for 13 years and all 22 series. I basically used to check spelling and think of stupid gags about The Stig. I also got to hang around with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. It didn t feel like something you should get paid for. From the disastrous pilot show of 2002 to the sudden and unexpected ending in 2015, working on Top Gear was quite a rollercoaster ride. We crossed continents, we made space ships, we bobbed across the world s busiest shipping lane in a pick-up truck. We also got chased by an angry mob, repeatedly sparked fury in newspapers, and almost killed one of our presenters. I realised that I had quite a few stories to tell from behind the scenes on the show. I remembered whose daft idea it was to get a dog. I recalled the willfully stupid way in which we decorated our horrible office. I had a sudden flashback to the time a Bolivian drug lord threatened to kill us. I decided I should write down some of these stories. So I have. I hope you like them. And now, a quote from James May: Richard Porter has asked me to write a quote for his new book about the ancient history of Top Gear. But this is a ridiculous request. How can one write a quote ? Surely, by definition, a quote must be extracted from a greater body of writing, for the purpose of illustrating or supporting a point in an unrelated work. I cannot write a quote any more than I could film an out-take . Porter, like Athens, has lost his marbles.
