Kde se rozmanitost setkává s hodnotou - Katalo.cz

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Monster Calls comes a richly illustrated and lyrical tale, one that asks harrowing questions about power, loyalty, obsession, and the monsters we make of others. With harpoons strapped to their backs, the proud whales of Bathsheba's pod live for the hunt, fighting in the ongoing war against the world of men. When they attack a ship bobbing on the surface of the Abyss, they expect to find easy prey. Instead, they find the trail of a myth, a monster, perhaps the devil himself... As their relentless Captain leads the chase, they embark on a final, vengeful hunt, one that will forever change the worlds of both whales and men. With the lush, atmospheric art of Rovina Cai woven in throughout, this remarkable work by Patrick Ness turns the familiar tale of Moby Dick upside down and tells a story all its own with epic triumph and devastating fate.

Nový nádherně ilustrovaný román Patricka Nessa je variací na knihu Bílá velryba. Hlavní hrdinkou je velryba Bathsheba. Spolu s ostatními velrybami narazí na minci s iniciálami T. W. Vedoucí celého hejna Alexandra usoudí, že je tím nejobávanější lidský námořník a lovec Toby Wick vyzývá na souboj. Podle Bathsheby to ale není pravda. Toby Wick je přece pouze mýtus, legenda, kterou si velryby vymyslely. Je totiž nepředstavitelné, aby je nenávidění lidé mohli přemoci v boji. Ale toto není příběh o Toby Wickovi – toto je příběh o hněvu, nenávisti a naší potřebě bojovat až do úplného konce, když už nezbývá nic jiného než čest a smrt.

On a cold Sunday evening in early 1957, Sarah Dewhurst waited with her father in the parking lot of the Chevron gas station for the dragon he’d hired to help on the farm… Sarah Dewhurst and her father, outcasts in their little town of Frome, Washington, are forced to hire a dragon to work their farm, something only the poorest of the poor ever have to resort to. The dragon, Kazimir, has more to him than meets the eye, though. Sarah can’t help but be curious about him, an animal who supposedly doesn’t have a soul but who is seemingly intent on keeping her safe. Because the dragon knows something she doesn’t. He has arrived at the farm with a prophecy on his mind. A prophecy that involves a deadly assassin, a cult of dragon worshippers, two FBI agents in hot pursuit—and somehow, Sarah Dewhurst herself.

Jednoho chladného nedělního večera na začátku roku 1957 čekala Sára Dewhurstová se svým otcem na parkovišti u benzinové pumpy Chevron na draka, kterého si najali jako pomocníka na farmě… Sára a její otec, vyděděnci malého městečka Frome ve státě Washington, jsou nuceni najmout si na práci na farmě právě tohoto tvora, což je něco, k čemu se uchylují jen ti nejnuznější… Drak Kazimir však představuje něco mnohem víc, než co je viditelné pouhým okem. Sára se o něj proti své vůli začne zajímat: o bytost, která údajně nemá duši, ale zdá se, že je z nevysvětlitelných důvodů odhodlaná chránit ji a držet v bezpečí. Protože drak ví něco, o čem Sára nemá tušení. Přispěchal na farmu poháněn dávným proroctvím. Proroctvím, v němž figuruje úkladný vrah, kult uctívačů draků, dva zuřiví agenti FBI - a samozřejmě i Sára samotná.

Audiokniha: Příběhy jsou jako divá zvěř. Když je vypustíš na svobodu, mohou napáchat spoustu škody. Přesně sedm minut po půlnoci navštíví třináctiletého Conora netvor. Chlapce však neděsí, protože nic nemůže být horší, než noční můry, které ho v poslední době pronásledují. Než realita, ve které žije. Než fakt, že jeho máma je vážně nemocná, táta kdesi za mořem s novou rodinou a na něj zbyla jenom upjatá babička, s níž si nerozumí. Když se teď rozhádal se svou nejlepší kamarádkou, nezbyl nikdo, komu by mohl říct, že se mu ve škole spolužáci buď vyhýbají pohledem, nebo ho šikanují. Proč by se měl bát tajuplného přízraku z dávných časů, ukrývajícího se v podobě starého stromu za domem, který tvrdí, že ho sám zavolal? Přichází proto, aby Conorovi vyprávěl tři příběhy. Na oplátku ale něco chce. Tu nejnebezpečnější věc ze všech. Chce slyšet pravdu. Filmová adaptace příběhu plného temně pohádkové atmosféry vstoupila do českých kin 30. března 2017. Patrick Ness (* 1971) Americko-britský spisovatel a novinář se narodil na vojenské základně Fort Belvoir ve Virginii, kde jeho otec působil jako výcvikový instruktor americké armády. Studoval anglickou literaturu na Univerzitě Jižní Kalifornie. První povídka mu vyšla roku 1997 v časopise Genre. Vyučoval tvůrčí psaní na Oxforské univerzitě a působil jako redaktor v Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph a Guardian, kam píše recenze dodnes. Celosvětovou čtenářskou popularitu mu přinesla sci-fi série Chaos, na níž navázal několika různorodými texty, které však spojuje autorův nezaměnitelný rukopis: suverénní vypravěčství, obsahová hloubka a dotyk nadpřirozena. Román Volání netvora (Slovart, 2017) napsal podle námětu zesnulé Siobhan Dowdové a obdržel za ni CILIP Carnegie Medal (cenu CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal získaly také ilustrace Volání netvora od Jima Kaye). Ness je rovněž autorem scénáře filmové adaptace příběhu, kterou režíroval Juan Antonio Bayona (horor Sirotčinec, dvě epizody první řady seriálu Penny Dreadful). Následovaly knihy Něco víc (Slovart 2017) a My ostatní tu prostě žijem (Slovart, 2016). Patrick Ness je rovněž scenáristou nového spin-off k seriálu Pán času. Jan Vondráček (* 1966) K divadlu se dostal během vojny po gymnáziu (účinkoval v Armádním uměleckém souboru). Následovalo studium na katedře alternativního a loutkového divadla DAMU, odchod s celým ročníkem do nově vzniklého Dejvického divadla, účast na mnoha festivalech, řada ocenění a vstup do souboru Divadla v Dlouhé, jehož členem je dodnes. Díky seriálu Mentalista, v němž dabuje hlavní postavu Patrika Janea, je známý i jeho hlas (Cena Františka Filipovského 2010). Filmoví a televizní diváci jej mohli zaznamenat ve filmech Pokoj v duši (2009), Lidice (2011), Příběh kmotra (2013) nebo v seriálech České století (2013), Život a doba soudce A. K.

Anthony “Ant” Stevenson isn’t sure when he stopped being a virgin. Or even if he has. The rules aren’t always very clear when it comes to boys who like boys. In fact, relationships of all kinds feel complicated, even with Ant’s oldest friends. There’s Charlie, who’s both virulently homophobic and in a secret physical relationship with Ant. Then there’s drama kid Jack, who may be gay and has become the target of Charlie’s rage. And, of course, there’s big, beautiful Freddie, who wants Ant to ditch soccer, Charlie’s sport, and try out for the rugby team instead. Ant’s story of loneliness and intimacy, of unexpected support and heart-ripping betrayal, is told forthrightly with tongue-in-cheek black-bar redactions over the language that teenagers would actually use if, you know, they weren’t in a story. Award-winning author Patrick Ness explores teen sexuality, friendship, and romance with a deft hand in this structurally daring, illustrated short novel.

But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth.

We are in the midst of a global refugee crisis. Sixty five million people are fleeing for their lives. The choices are urgent, not just for them but for all of us. What can we possibly do to help?With compassion and clarity, David Miliband shows why we should care and how we can make a difference. He takes us from war zones in the Middle East to the heart of Europe to explain the crisis and show what can be done, not just by governments with the power to change policy but by citizens with the urge to change lives. His innovative and practical call to action shows that the crisis need not overwhelm us.Miliband says this is a fight to uphold the best of human nature in the face of rhetoric and policy that humour the worst. He defends the international order built by western leaders out of the ashes of the Second World War, but says now is the time for reform.Describing his family story as the son of refugees, and drawing revealing lessons from his life in politics, David Miliband shows that if we fail refugees then we betray our own history, values and interests. The message is simple: rescue refugees and we rescue ourselves.

Poté, co oba přežili neřešitelné situace ve vietnamské džungli, pokračuje spirála jejich šíleného dobrodružství v Paříži a končí v Arizoně na území indiánů z kmene Čirikavů. „Jednou budeš vyprávět můj příběh,“ řekl ve Vietnamu Sky Eyes francouzskému fotografovi, a tak se po 35 letech i stalo.

From their first appearance on Renaissance maps, linear tracks representing maritime voyages have shaped the way we see the world. But why do we depict journeys as lines, and what is their deeper meaning? Ferdinand Magellan's route to the Pacific embodied the promise of adventure and colonisation, while the scientific charts of the Royal Navy inspired others to plan conquests, navigate treacherous waters and establish settlements across the oceans.In Tracks on the Ocean, prize-winning historian Sara Caputo charts a hidden history of the modern world through the tracks left on maps and the sea. Taking us from ancient Greek itineraries to twenty-first-century digital mapping, via the voyages of Drake and Cook, the decks of Napoleonic warships and the boiler rooms of ocean liners, Caputo reveals how marks on maps have changed the course of modernity.

'A fascinating hybrid. Part freewheeling history of the rise of the modern autonomous vehicle, part intimate memoir from an insider who was on the front lines for much of that history, Autonomy will more than bring readers up to speed on one of today's most closely watched technologies' Brian Merchant, author of The One Device From the ultimate insider - a former General Motors executive and current advisor to the Google Self-Driving Car project - comes the definitive story of the race between Google, Tesla and Uber to create the driverless car. We stand on the brink of a technological revolution. In the near future, most of us will not own automobiles, but will travel instead in driverless electric vehicles summoned at the touch of an app. We will be liberated from driving, so that the time we spend in cars can be put to more productive use. We will prevent more than 90 percent of car crashes, provide freedom of mobility to the elderly and disabled and decrease our dependence on fossil fuels. Autonomy tells the story of the maverick engineers and computer experts who triggered the revolution. Lawrence Burns - long-time adviser to the Google self-driving car project (now Waymo) and former corporate vice president of research, development and planning at General Motors - provides the perfectly timed history of how we arrived at this point, in a character-driven and vivid account of the unlikely thinkers who accomplished what billion-dollar automakers never dared. Beginning at a 2004 off-road robot race across the Mojave Desert with a million-dollar purse and continuing up to the current stampede to develop driverless technology, Autonomy is a page-turning chronicle of the past, a diagnosis of the present and a prediction of the future - the ultimate guide to understanding the driverless car and to navigating the revolution it has sparked.show less
