Artists, Siblings, Visionaries - Judith Mackrell

In Artists, Siblings, Visionaries, acclaimed biographer Judith Mackrell turns her attention to British brother and sister artists Gwen and Augustus John.In many ways they were polar opposites. Augustus was the larger of the two; vivid, volatile and promiscuous, he was a hero among romantics and bohemians, celebrated as one of the great British talents of his generation.As a woman, Gwen''s place in the art world was much smaller, and her private way of working and reserved nature meant it was only long after her death that her tremendous gifts were fully acknowledged. But her temperament was as turbulent as her brother''s. She formed passionate attachments to men and woman, including a long affair with the sculptor Rodin.And there were other ways in which the two Johns were remarkably alike, as Mackrell vividly reveals. The result is a powerful portrait of two prodigiously talented artists and visionaries, whose experiments with form and colour created some of the most memorable work of the early twentieth century.

''Mackrell''s enthralling biography restores Lydia Lopokova to her rightful position centre-stage'' DAILY MAIL''Superb ... Mackrell, with her insider''s knowledge of ballet and theatre, lovingly recreates Lydia''s many worlds'' GAY & LESBIAN REVIEW''A hugely entertaining and informative study of the Ballets Russes star'' SPECTATORBorn in 1891 in St Petersburg, Lydia Lopokova lived a long and remarkable life.

The Murder of Judith Roberts - Chris Clark, Tanita Matthews

In the Summer of 1972, 14-year-old Judith Roberts took off for a bike ride within the vicinity of her Staffordshire home. Her body was discovered after a three-day manhunt, concealed from view in a thick privet having been brutally attacked. The community of Tamworth was rocked by the news of her death and an outcry for justice ensued. Within weeks of her murder, an impressionable and troubled soldier, based in the nearby barracks, 17-year-old Andrew Evans, walked into a police station and confessed to the killing. Relentlessly interviewed for hours on end without representation or an appropriate adult present, Andrew was swiftly charged with Judith's murder. Despite attempting to recount his statement and a legal defence at trial that defied the prosecution's arguments that Andrew Evans was guilty, a judge sentenced him to life behind bars. He was eventually acquitted in 1997 in what was, at the time, Britain's longest miscarriage of justice. While Andrew Evans fought for his freedom, another man drove up and down England undetected: Peter William Sutcliffe. Eventually proven capable of inflicting unimaginable horror at any given opportunity, an independent inquiry dubbed him likely responsible for more murders than the 13 he was convicted of and ...

This is the story of how, over a period of one hundred and ninety-two days, I was torn away from the life I knew and loved, and dragged down to the depths of despair; of how I endured enforced isolation and near-starvation at the hands of Somali pirates; and of how I made a choice to survive by any and all means that I could muster.In September 2011 Judith Tebbutt and her husband David set out on an adventurous holiday to Kenya. A couple for thirty-three years, they had first met in Zambia: Africa had played a major part in their life together. After a joyous week on safari in the Masai Mara, they flew on to a beach resort forty kilometres south of Somalia. And there, in the early hours of 11 September, tragedy struck them.Judith was torn away from David by a band of armed pirates, dragged over sea and land to a village in the arid heart of lawless Somalia, and there held hostage in a squalid room, a ransom on her head.

Lettipark - Judith Hermannová

Jak blízko můžeme být lidem, které milujeme? Fotograf sleduje svého adoptivního syna, se zájmem i odstupem zároveň, jeho žena ten pohled vidí, a tím by se to mohlo celé pokazit. Starý muž vzpomíná na cestu na ostrov Nantucket, poslední společnou výpravu s přáteli a do domu, který je zatím jen nahrubo postavený, slovy se kreslí do vzduchu. Žena vypráví o jednom dni u jezera, o jednom neštěstí a možná i o jedné velké lásce. Dítě poprvé v životě spálí věc, která pro něj byla dlouho důležitá. Postavy Judith Hermannové jsou někdy úplně bezbranné. O to intenzivnější jsou jejich setkání s jinými, milovanými nebo cizími lidmi. Tyto momenty nastávají bezděčně, bez vzruchu a pod povrchem vyvolávají existenciální tíhu. Judith Hermannová používá málo slov, ale mezi nimi se odehrávají neuchopitelné věci.

Doma - Judith Hermannová

Mladou ženu požádají, ať vleze do krabice a nechá se rozřezat. Starý trik hodlá kouzelník nacvičit se svou novou asistentkou doma, kde vše sleduje jeho žena. Román Judith Hermannové Doma začíná právě touto téměř thrillerovou epizodou z minulosti hlavní postavy. Střih. Hrdinka nechává dosavadní život za sebou a stěhuje se do vlastního domu u moře. Píše krátké dopisy bývalému manželovi, navazuje opatrná přátelství, zkouší milostný poměr, přemýšlí, co dál. Vše plyne pomalu, hvězdná autorka této knihy je proslulá tím, že nikam nespěchá. Vypráví o ženě, která se v krajině na pobřeží po malých krůčcích stává někým jiným. Ohledává paměť a okamžik, v němž v životě člověka nastane předěl, kdy se ze starého rodí nové. Mezi slovy nechává jakoby mimochodem protékat něco neuchopitelného a vyzařuje přitom neodolatelnou pomalost, která mnohým z nás už dávno schází. Za román Doma byla Judith Hrmannová v roce 2021 nominována mj. na Německou knižní cenu nebo na Cenu Knižního veletrhu v Lipsku.

The Livable and the Unlivable - Judith Butlerová, Frederic Worms

The unlivable is the most extreme point of human suffering and injustice. But what is it exactly? How do we define the unlivable? And what can we do to prevent and repair it? These are the intriguing questions Judith Butler and Frédéric Worms discuss in a captivating dialogue situated at the crossroads of contemporary life and politics. Here, Judith Butler criticizes the norms that make life precarious and unlivable, while Frédéric Worms appeals to a “critical vitalism” as a way of allowing the hardship of the unlivable to reveal what is vital for us.For both Butler and Worms, the difference between the livable and the unlivable forms the critical foundation for a contemporary practice of care. Care and support, in all their aspects, make human life livable, that is, “more than living.” To understand it, we must draw on the concrete practices of humans who are confronted with the unlivable: the refugees of today and the witnesses and survivors of past violations and genocide. They teach us what is intolerable but also undeniable about the unlivable, and what we can do to resist it.

The Visionaries - Eilenberger Wolfram

The year is 1933. Hannah Arendt escapes Berlin, seeking refuge among the stateless gathering in Paris. Simone de Beauvoir reimagines the dance between consciousness and the world outside in a Rouen café.Ayn Rand labours in Hollywood exile on the novel she believes destined to reignite the flame of liberty in her adoptive nation. Simone Weil, disenchanted with the revolution's course in Russia, devotes her entire being to the plight of the oppressed. Over the next decade, one of the darkest in Europe's history, these four philosophers will conceive in parallel ideas that would circle the globe in the second half of the century, reshaping it.The Visionaries follows in its protagonists' footsteps from Leningrad to New York, Spain at civil war to France under occupation, as each is uprooted by totalitarianism's ascendence. It shows them facing the injustices, unfreedom and unfathomable violence of their time as women, refugees, activists, resistance fighters - but above all as thinkers. Wolfram Eilenberger expertly distils the radical philosophies each lived as well as created, showing the two to be part of the same story, all testament to the redemptive power of thought.

Deaths of Artists - Jim Moske

Starving Artist Knifed to Death in Village Room… Famous Artist Dies Penniless and All Alone… Deep in the archives of The Metropolitan Museum of Art are two strange scrapbooks packed with century-old newspaper obituaries of painters, illustrators, sculptors, and photographers, famous and forgotten alike. Somber death notices of luminaries like Claude Monet and Auguste Rodin are preserved on their crumbling pages, side by side with tragic and often grisly stories of obscure artists who met their demise as victims of accident, murder, poverty, and disease. Compiled from 1906 to 1929, the scrapbooks not only memorialize the subjects of these obituaries: they also record graphic and sensationalized news reporting from the heyday of yellow journalism. Who collected the artists’ obituaries? What was their purpose for the Met Museum? Were the scrapbooks assembled in a nod to Giorgio Vasari’s bestselling sixteenth-century magnum opus, Lives of the Artists, with its hundreds of gossipy artist biographies? When Met Museum archivist Jim Moske chanced upon these fascinating relics forgotten in museum storage, he set out to unravel the mystery of their creation.Delving into Met employee records, Moske discovered the story of Arthur D''Hervilly, an ex-convict and aspiring artist who was hired in 1894 as a ...

Tělo Východu, mysl Západu - Anodea Judith

V této průlomové knize přináší Anodea Judith svěží pohled na východní systém čaker založený na principech jógy, který usazuje do rámce západního myšlení. Čakry zkoumá z pohledu jungiánské psychologie, somatické terapie, vývojové psychologie a metafyziky, a vytváří tak elegantní a praktický systém pomáhající s léčením energetické nerovnováhy a s převzetím kontroly nad vlastním mentálním a psychickým zdravím. Jednotlivé kapitoly se postupně zaměřují na všechny čakry, začínají popisem jejich charakteristiky a k ní příslušejících témat. Autorka pak zkoumá vývojové vzorce přináležející ke každé čakře, traumata a zneužití, která se k ní váží, i to, jak čakry můžeme udržovat v rovnováze. Jedinečná kombinace východních a západních přístupů osvětluje spirituální povahu osobního rozvoje i to, jak je propojená s naší tělesnou strukturou.

Příručka pro dospělé chaotiky - Kathleen C. Nadeau, Judith Kolberg

Příručka vzniklá z netradiční spolupráce specialistky na poruchy pozornosti a odbornice na úklid, uspořádávání a třídění je určena pro dospělé, kteří mají obtíže se soustředit, nejsou schopni dokončit práci a myšlenky jim neustále zalétají jinam. Najdeme v ní vyzkoušené návody, jak zlepšit soustředění, stanovit si priority, zařídit prostředí, v němž žijeme, tak, aby se v něm dalo nerušeně pracovat, a úspěšně čelit nerealistickým očekáváním okolí.Kniha je založena na třech pilířích – strategie, podpora a strukturovanost – a na třech úrovních podpory: osobní, rodinné a profesionální. Běžné metody, jak si zorganizovat život, u osob s AD(H)D často nefungují a je třeba využívat takové, které kompenzují zapomnětlivost, roztržitost a obtíže s rozvrhováním času. Nemá smysl proti AD(H)D bojovat, ale spíše ho využívat ve svůj prospěch. Text se zabývá též třemi stupni podpůrné struktury a emočními obtížemi spojenými s AD(H)D, důležitostí plynulosti a zjednodušování, analýzou každodenních stresorů, obtížemi spojenými s rozhodováním, rozlišováním mezi významností rozhodování a perfekcionismem, kompenzací nudy, sklonem k závislostem, důležitostí stanovení priorit. Poslední část je věnována konkrétní organizaci na různých úrovních – věcí, času, informací, financí a digitálního prostoru.
