Andělina země - Frank McCourt
Čtenáři slavného románu Andělin popel se ve volném pokračování dozví, jak to s tím popelem vlastně bylo. Autor, toužící zbavit se všech bolestí irského Limericku, plného chudoby, nemocí i rodinných tragédií, odchází v devatenácti letech do Ameriky. Věří, že v zemi, kde se narodil, se mu podaří uskutečnit své představy o lepším životě. Na Manhattanu se však potýká s novými problémy, rozpolcen mezi touhou po vzdělání a nezbytností se uživit. Slouží v armádě, pracuje v přístavních docích, přitom studuje a snaží se posílat domů matce peníze. Uzdraví se mu oči i chrup, nabývá jistoty, plní se mu erotické sny. Získává srdce pravé americké blondýny a zakládá rodinu v protestantském prostředí. Stává se středoškolským profesorem, ale společenský vzestup si vybírá svou daň. Autobiografický příběh nositele Pulitzerovy ceny je napsán s velkým citem a osobitým humorem.

Angela's Ashes - Frank McCourt
Angela''s Ashes, imbued on every page with Frank McCourt''s astounding humor and compassion, is a glorious book that bears all the marks of a classic."When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." So begins the luminous memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank''s mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank''s father, Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Malachy-- exasperating, irresponsible and beguiling-- does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story. Frank lives for his father''s tales of Cuchulain, who saved Ireland, and of the Angel on the Seventh Step, who brings his mother babies. Perhaps it is story that accounts for Frank''s survival. Wearing rags for diapers, begging a pig''s head for Christmas dinner and gathering coal from the roadside to light a fire, Frank endures ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Andělin popel - Frank McCourt - audiokniha
Audiokniha: "Když povídám lidem, o čem je ta kniha, říkám obvykle, že je o jedné irské rodině a o jednom otci, který pije, a že spousta lidí v ní umírá na různé nemoci a že je to opravdická legrace". Čte David Novotný a Josef Somr Četba z románu vyznamenaného Pulitzerovou cenou, vyšel ve více než 25 jazycích a prodaly se ho miliony výtisků. Filmová verze podle románu s Emily Watsonovou, Robertem Carlylem a Michaelem Leggem v hlavních rolích (1999) byla nominována na Oscara a na MFF Karlovy Vary 2000 získal film Cenu diváků. Každé slovo je darem a každá stránka je příběhem o triumfu. Frank McCourt dokázal přežít nemoc, hlad a chudobu. A i když vás události, které se v této knize odehrávají, rozpláčou, nic vás nerozpláče víc než skutečnost, že to dokázal. Přežil, zatímco mnoho lidí nepřežilo, a dokázal vyprávět příběh za ty, kteří nemohli. Clarah Grossman, The RHS High Times

Andělin popel - Frank McCourt
"Když se ohlédnu za svým dětstvím, divím se, jak se mi vůbec podařilo přežít. Bylo to samozřejmě mizerné dětství: šťastné dětství vám za to skoro nestojí. Horší než obyčejné nešťastné dětství je nešťastné irské dětství, a ještě horší je nešťastné irské katolické dětství." Tak začínají překrásné paměti Franka McCourta, který se narodil v Brooklynu v době hospodářské krize čerstvým irským přistěhovalcům a posléze vyrůstal ve slumech irského Limericku. Přestože Frankův otec propije téměř každou výplatu, a nakonec zmizí v Anglii, Frank žije pro otcovy příběhy o Kukulínovi, který zachránil Irsko, a o Andělovi na sedmém schodu, který jeho matce přináší děti. Síla vyprávění spočívá v perspektivě malého hrdiny, který barvitě popisuje nepředstavitelnou chudobu, strádání, neustálé hladovění, smrt několika sourozenců, krutost sousedů i příbuzných, avšak s vřelostí a soucitnou shovívavostí. Dnes již klasický román Andělin popel je na každé stránce prodchnut úžasným autorovým humorem a literárním uměním. Úspěchu dosáhlo i jeho filmové zpracování.

Mathematical Tasks - Chris McGrane, Mark McCourt
If we want our pupils to develop fluency, understanding and the ability to solve complex problems, then it is vital that teachers develop the ability to select, adapt and design appropriate mathematical tasks. In ''Mathematical Tasks: The Bridge Between Teaching and Learning'', Chris McGrane and Mark McCourt a range of practical approaches, strategies and principles behind the design and effective use of tasks in the mathematics classroom that lead to all pupils becoming successful learners. First-hand interviews with world class mathematics education experts and practicing teachers bring to life the ideas behind how tasks can act as a bridge between what the teacher wants the pupil to make sense of and what the pupil actually does makes sense of; tasks are how we enable pupils to enact mathematics - it is only by being mathematical that pupils can truly make connections across mathematical ideas and understand the bigger picture. This is a book for classroom teachers. Chris McGrane offers a range of practical examples for nurturing deep learning in mathematics that can be adapted and embedded in one''s own classroom practice. This is also a book for those who are interested in the theory behind tasks. Chris and his interviewees ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Heresy of Jacob Frank - Jay Michaelson
The Heresy of Jacob Frank is the first monograph length study on the religious philosophy of Jacob Frank (1726-1791), who, in the wake of false messiah Sabbetai Zevi, led the largest mass apostasy in Jewish history. Based on close readings of Frank''s late teachings, recorded in 1784 and 1790, this book challenges scholarly presentations of Frank that depict him as a sex-crazed "degenerate," and presents Frank as an original and prescient figure at the crossroads of tradition and modernity, reason and magic, Kabbalah and Western Esotericism.Frank''s worldview combines a skeptical rejection of religious law as ineffectual and repressive with a supernatural, esoteric myth of immortal beings, material magic, and worldly power. With close readings of the theological and narrative passages of Frank''s teachings, Michaelson shows how the Frankist sect evolved from its Sabbatean roots and the infamous 1757-59 disputations before the Catholic Church, into a Western Esoteric society based on alchemy, secrecy, and sexual liberation. Sexual ritual, apparently tightly limited and controlled by the sect, was not a libertine bacchanal but an enactment of the messianic reality, a corporealization of what would later become known as spirituality.While Frank was undoubtedly a manipulative, even abusive leader whose sect mostly disappeared from ...

France: A Short History - Jeremy Black
A concise history of France from prehistory to the present, recounting the great events and personalities and exploring France's cultural and political influence today. Artists, martyrs, kings, revolutionaries: France’s sense of national identity is inextricably linked to its dramatic history, which fascinates the world and attracts millions each year to visit its chateaux and cathedrals, boulevards and vineyards. Ancient roots allied to a social, political and military history that has witnessed revolution, conflict and occupation mean that France holds a unique position in the modern world. In this short, easy-to-digest history of a vast subject, Jeremy Black succinctly narrates how France’s past has created its distinct character. Country and destination, nation and idea, France has an incomparable cultural legacy, and exerts a powerful artistic, intellectual and political influence across the globe. Black’s vivid take on history emphasizes the unexpected nature of events and unpredictable outcomes on a fragmented country, from the prehistoric cave paintings of Lascaux to the origins of Gothic architecture, from Monet and Degas to the Lumière brothers, and from the cataclysm of the 1789 Revolution through the countercultural student protests of 1968 to today’s gilets jaunes.

The French government of Marshal Pétain sued for peace and signed an armistice. One little-known junior French general, refusing to accept defeat, made his way to England. On 18 June he spoke to his compatriots over the BBC, urging them to rally to him in London. ''Whatever happens, the flame of French resistance must not be extinguished and will not be extinguished.'' At that moment, Charles de Gaulle entered into history.For the rest of the war, de Gaulle frequently bit the hand that fed him. He insisted on being treated as the true embodiment of France, and quarrelled violently with Churchill and Roosevelt. He was prickly, stubborn, aloof and self-contained.

The Unkillable Frank Lightning - Josh Rountree
In his first novel, Texan author Josh Rountree (The Legend of Charlie Fish) has created a devastating Frankenstein-inspired tale set in the Wild West. With equal parts Cormac McCarthy, Mary Shelley, and Stephen Graham Jones, Rountree creates a work of historical horror that deftly navigates the terrible aftermath of love and death. Catherine Coldbridge is a complicated woman: A doctor, an occultist, and, briefly, a widow. In 1879, Private Frank Humble, Catherine''s husband, was killed in a Sioux attack. Consumed by grief, she used her formidable skills to resurrect him. But Frank lost his soul after the reanimation, and disappeared after a killing spree. Unable to face her failure and its murderous consequences, Catherine fled to grieve. Twenty-five years later, Catherine has decided she must make things right. She travels back to Texas with a pair of hired killers ready to destroy Frank. But Frank has remade himself as the Unkillable Frank Lightning, traveling with the Wild West Show. Reaching for a last chance at redemption, Frank and Catherine are at an impasse. As time runs out, their final choices may result in considerable bloodshed.

Francine's Spectacular Crash and Burn - Renee Swindle
Francine Stevenson gets more than she bargained for when she rescues 10-year-old Davie from a group of bullies clamouring to snatch his beloved iPad. From that day forward the puzzlingly direct boy continues to show up at her door until the two develop a unique understanding. Their Pixar movie nights, and Davie''s random Steve Jobs factoids slowly work to soothe the ache of her mother''s recent passing. When Francine learns Davie is in foster care, she decides to introduce herself to his foster parents who she can''t help but judge for allowing the kid to spend evenings with a literal stranger. To Francine''s surprise Davie''s foster mother is none other than Jeannette, her fiery high school crush. Their reintroduction forces Francine to face her severely single reality. And hearing her dreaded old nickname brings up long-buried issues she never dreamed of confronting. Tired of being used by the women she meets on dating apps, Francine grows closer to the very-married Jeanette, until all her other priorities begin to cloud over, and Davie is only on the periphery of her mind.

The Discovery of France - Graham Robb
''An extraordinary journey of discovery'' - Daily Telegraph''Pedals along with never a dull paragraph . . . dazzling'' - The Sunday TimesIlluminating, engrossing and full of surprises, The Discovery of France is the tale of Graham Robb''s 14,000-mile journey across France on a bicycle to uncover an alternative history.France is a country famous for its intellectuals, its philosophers and writers, its fashion, food and wine. And yet the notion of ''the French'' as one nation is relatively recent and, historically speaking, quite misleading. In order to discover the true past of France, Graham Robb realized it was necessary not only to go back in time, but also to go at a slower pace than modern life generally allows.An award-winning modern classic, The Discovery of France is a literary exploration of a remarkable nation. From maps and migration to magic, language and landscape, it reveals a France few will recognize. And all from the perspective of two wheels.Winner of the Duff Cooper and the Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje prizes, The Discovery of France is now included in the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the very best of modern literature.

Frank Sidebottom Out of His Head - Mick Middles
There has never been an artist quite like Chris Sievey or his ''fantastic'' comedic alter ego, Frank Sidebottom. Whether pushing for chart action while fronting his former band The Freshies or allowing the bombastic Sidebottom to wreak anarchy and chaos on television, radio or with the Oh Blimey Big Band, Sievey''s mischievous muse seemed to obey no boundaries. Yet it was only after Chris''s untimely demise in 2010 that the extent of his infl uence became fully apparent. The emergence of Jon Ronson''s film, "Frank", Steve Sullivan''s exhaustive documentary "Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story" and the bizarre erection of the Frank Sidebottom statue in his native Timperley last October -- before 2,000 devotees -- all combined to make this the most extraordinary stories of recent decades. Yet Chris found difficulty in being Frank. The people whose careers he helped begin or inspire: Chris Evans, Mark Radcliffe, Caroline Aherne, Steve Coogan, Jon Ronson to name a few -- all went on to a achieve a degree of fame and fortune that Chris never managed.
