A fiction-within-a-fiction, My Life as a Man centres on the fraught marriage of Peter, a gifted young writer and Maureen Tarnopol, the woman who wants to be his muse but who instead becomes his nemesis. Their union is based on fraud and powered by moral blackmail. And yet, the the couple s relationship is so perversely durable that, long after Maureen s death, Peter is still trying - and failing - to write his way free of it. Out of desperate inventions and scorching truths, acts of weakness and shocking cruelty, Philip Roth creates a fierce tragedy about a fatal impasse between a man and a woman.

Now a major film starring Ryan Gosling, Claire Foy and Kyle Chandler, directed by Oscar-winner Damien Chazelle, First Man by James Hansen offers the only authorized glimpse into the life of America’s most famous astronaut, Neil Armstrong – the man whose “one small step” changed history. In First Man, Hansen explores the life of Neil Armstrong. Based on over 50 hours of interviews with the intensely private Armstrong, who also gave Hansen exclusive access to private documents and family sources, this “magnificent panorama of the second half of the American twentieth century” (Publishers Weekly, Starred Review) is an unparalleled biography of an American icon. When Apollo 11 touched down on the moon’s surface in 1969, the first man on the moon became a legend. Hansen vividly recreates Armstrong #39;s career in flying, from his seventy-eight combat missions as a naval aviator flying over North Korea to his formative transatmospheric flights in the rocket-powered X-15 to his piloting Gemini VIII to the first-ever docking in space. For a pilot who cared more about flying to the Moon than he did about walking on it, Hansen asserts, Armstrong #39;s storied vocation exacted a dear personal toll, paid in kind by his wife and children. In the years since the Moon landing, rumors swirled around Armstrong concerning his dreams of space travel, his religious beliefs, and his private life. This book reveals the man behind the myth. In a penetrating exploration of American hero worship, Hansen addresses the complex legacy of the First Man, as an astronaut and as an individual. In First Man, the personal, technological, epic, and iconic blend to form the portrait of a great but reluctant hero who will forever be known as history #39;s most famous space traveler.

Saladin remains one of the most iconic figures of his age. As the man who united the Arabs and saved Islam from Christian crusaders in the 12th century, he is the Islamic worldâ ™s preeminent hero. Ruthless in defence of his faith, brilliant in leadership, he also possessed qualities that won admiration from his Christian foes. He knew the limits of violence, showing such tolerance and generosity that many Europeans, appalled at the brutality of their own people, saw him as the exemplar of their own knightly ideals. But Saladin is far more than a historical hero. Builder, literary patron and theologian, he is a man for all times, and a symbol of hope for an Arab world once again divided. Centuries after his death, in cities from Damascus to Cairo and beyond, to the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf, Saladin continues to be an immensely potent symbol of religious and military resistance to the West. He is central to Arab memories, sensibilities and the ideal of a unified Islamic state. In this authoritative biography, historian John Man brings Saladin and his world to life in vivid detail. Charting his rise to power, his struggle to unify the warring factions of his faith, and his battles to retake Jerusalem and expel Christian influence from Arab lands, Saladin explores the life and the enduring legacy of this champion of Islam, and examines his significance for the world today.

Audiokniha: Některé řeky plynou poklidně a tiše, některé divoce, všechny ale míří vpřed. Poetický román o nezlomnosti lidského ducha. Sedmnáctiletá Victorie Nashová, jediná žena v rodině plné problematických mužů, vede domácnost na rodinném statku s broskvoňovým sadem v malém farmářském městečku Iola v Coloradu. Wilson Moon je mladý tulák se záhadnou minulostí, který opustil svůj kmen a je odhodlaný jít svou vlastní cestou. Victorie s Wilem se náhodou potkají na rohu ulice a toto setkání rozpoutá koloběh touhy a nebezpečí. Když jejich životy změní nečekaná tragédie, opustí Victorie jediný domov, který kdy poznala, a uteče do nedalekých hor, kde se snaží přežít v divočině bez jasné představy o tom, co jí přinese budoucnost. S měnícím se ročním obdobím sleduje i změny ve svém vlastním nitru a v krásné, ale drsné krajině nachází smysl a sílu jít dál. Znovu vybudovat vše, co ztratila, přestože její domov – statek i milovaný broskvový sad, který patří její rodině už po generace – má zmizet pod hladinou řeky Gunnison. Román Buď jako řeka, inspirovan skutečnými událostmi, které provázely zkázu městečka Iola v 60. letech 20. století, je příběhem o hluboké lásce neochvějně čelící těžkostem a ztrátám, ale také o nalezení odvahy, nezlomnosti, přátelství a nakonec i domova – tam, kde bychom to nejméně čekali. Tento ohromující debut zkoumá, co znamená vést svůj život, jako by byl řekou – sbírat zkušenosti, plynout a hledat cestu vpřed, přestože je tok řeky přehrazen. Autor: Shelley Readová pochází z Colorada z již páté generace rodiny žijící v Elk Mountains na západním svahu kontinentálního rozvodí Ameriky. Téměř tři desetiletí působila jako docentka na Western Colorado University, kde vyučovala psaní, literaturu, environmentální studia a rozšiřující kurzy pro talentované studenty. Založila obor Životní prostředí Udržitelnost a také podpůrný program pro studenty rodičů bez vysokoškolského vzdělání a ohrožené studenty. Shelley vystudovala psaní a literární vědu na Denverské univerzitě a postgraduální program Kreativní psaní na Temple University. Pravidelně přispívá do časopisů Crested Butte Magazine a Gunnison Valley Journal, píše také pro deník Denver Post a řadu dalších. Její první román Buď jako řeka je inspirován krajinou, z níž pochází, a vychází ve více než pětadvaceti zemích. Další na www.shelleyread.com.

*The Sunday Times Bestseller*The brand new memoir from James Acaster: cult comedian, bestselling author of Classic Scrapes, undercover cop, receiver of cabbages.PERFECT SOUND WHATEVER is a love letter to the healing power of music, and how one man s obsessive quest saw him defeat the bullshit of one year with the beauty of another. Because that one man is James Acaster, it also includes tales of befouling himself in a Los Angeles steakhouse, stealing a cookie from Clint Eastwood, and giving drunk, unsolicited pep talks to urinating strangers. January, 2017James Acaster wakes up heartbroken and alone in New York, his relationship over, a day of disastrous meetings leading him to wonder if comedy is really what he wants to be doing any more. A constant comfort in James s life has been music, but he s not listened to anything new for a very long time. Idly browsing best of the year lists, it dawns on him that 2016 may have been a grim year for a lot of reasons, but that it seemed to be an iconic year for music. And so begins a life-changing musical odyssey, as James finds himself desperately seeking solace in the music of 2016, setting himself the task of only listening to music released that year, ending up with 500 albums in his collection. Looking back on this year-long obsession, parallels begin to grow between the music and James s own life: his relationship history, the highs and lows of human connection, residual Christian guilt, and mental health issues that have been bubbling under the surface for years. Some albums are life-changing masterpieces, others are Howdilly Doodilly by Okilly Dokilly, a metalcore album devoted to The Simpsons character Ned Flanders, but all of them play a part the year that helped James Acaster get his life back on track.

James Longman was a preteen in boarding school when his dad, who was diagnosed with depression and schizophrenia, died by suicide. As he got older, James s own bouts of depression spurred him to examine how his father s mental health might have affected his own. He engaged with experts to uncover the science behind what is inherited, how much environmental factors can impact genetic traits, and how one can overcome a familial history of mental illness and trauma. In The Inherited Mind, James Longman invites readers to reflect on their own stories as he shares his quest to better understand himself and his family. Through speaking to mental health experts, to those who have had similar familial experiences, and about his own life stories, James shows us, with heart and humor, how much our bodies can empower and inform us about our own personal mental health histories.

The Gunpowder Plot is perhaps the most famous and well-documented event in British Early Modern history. This means the story can be told through original dialogue recorded at the time to a greater extent than any other of the period. James Traversâ ™ new account exploits this potential for dramatic first-hand history by drawing on those original sources, at The National Archives and elsewhere. The book includes material from the official investigation and new evidence relating to the torture of Guy Fawkes. This expert retelling of the Gunpowder Plot story brings seventeenth-century voices fresh to the page. It shows the complex motivations of the principal figures involved, both officers of the state and the plotters themselves, and tells the story of the Plot without the benefit or distortion of hindsight. Moving away from the crude dichotomy of Catholic and Protestant, charactersâ ™ decisions and reactions are shown at the heart of events. It can be argued, for example, that Fawkes was as much anti-Scottish as anti-Protestant. It is a dramatic tale, with original documents unveiling the key figuresâ ™ fateful decisions as they happen. The plottersâ ™ generation was the first audience of Shakespeareâ ™s plays and his words were common currency among them. There are shades of meaning in their plans and confessions, which have eluded historians until now.At the time, Fawkes was the â ˜unknown faceâ ™ of the Plot, prized by the well-known and well-connected plotters as a man who could pass unnoticed in Westminster, even as he went to destroy the Houses of Parliament. Today, â ˜Guido Fawkesâ ™ has become the face of political disaffection, thanks to his popularity as a mask for protestors. And in a modern world of religious terrorism, this book lets us understand what drove the participants in British historyâ ™s most potentially destructive home-grown plot.

The story of our ongoing fascination with Homer, the man and the myth. Â Homer, the great poet of the Iliad and the Odyssey, is revered as a cultural icon of antiquity and a figure of lasting influence. But his identity is shrouded in questions about who he was, when he lived, and whether he was an actual person, a myth, or merely a shared idea. Rather than attempting to solve the mystery of this character, James I. Porter explores the sources of Homerâ ™s mystique and their impact since the first recorded mentions of Homer in ancient Greece. Â Homer: The Very Idea considers Homer not as a man, but as a cultural invention nearly as distinctive and important as the poems attributed to him, following the cultural history of an idea and of the obsession that is reborn every time Homer is imagined. Offering novel readings of texts and objects, the book follows the very idea of Homer from his earliest mentions to his most recent imaginings in literature, criticism, philosophy, visual art, and classical archaeology.
