Blacksad 2 (brož.) (Mistrovská díla evropského komiksu) - Juan Diaz Canales, Juanjo Guarnido

Blacksad je zpátky! Konečně se početné šiky fanoušků černého pantera, soukromého detektiva, který ve stylu drsné školy řeší složité případy a samotářsky se prodírá mravním bahnem světa, dočkaly. Nový svazek tvoří původní páté album série, Amarillo, a rozsáhlejší, dvoudílný příběh šestého a sedmého alba, nazvaný Pak se všechno hroutí.V příběhu „Amarillo“ dostane Blacksad za úkol odvézt bohatému Texasanovi auto na místo určení. Co se může na tak jednoduché a příjemné práci zvrtnout? Jak náš hrdina záhy zjistí, řada věcí. O nic snazší to nebude mít ani v dvoudílném příběhu „Pak se všechno hroutí“. Stavební magnát Solomon je posedlý megaprojekty a prosazuje je v New Yorku i proti vůli odborů (navíc dost prolezlých mafií). Blacksad má ochránit jednoho odborového bosse, do toho se v Central Parku hrají představení Shakespeara – a z hrobů a z minulosti může vylézt kdejaký kostlivec a překvapení. V životě každého pantera se toho může zhroutit i víc než jen most…

Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight - Naoki Higašida

*The Sunday Times bestseller* Wise and witty... The evolution of Higashida s insights is at times almost unbearably moving Financial Times The invitation to step inside Higashida s mind is irresistible Evening StandardNaoki Higashida met international success with The Reason I Jump, a revelatory account of life as a thirteen-year-old with non-verbal autism. Now he offers an equally illuminating insight into autism from his perspective as a young adult. In concise, engaging pieces, he shares his thoughts and feelings on a broad menu of topics ranging from school experiences to family relationships, the exhilaration of travel to the difficulties of speech. Aware of how mystifying his behaviour can appear to others, Higashida describes the effect on him of such commonplace things as a sudden change of plan, or the mental steps he has to take simply to register that it s raining. Throughout, his aim is to foster a better understanding of autism and to encourage those with disabilities to be seen as people, not as problems.With an introduction by David Mitchell, Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight includes a dreamlike short story Higashida wrote for this edition. Both moving and of practical use, the book opens a window into the mind of an inspiring young man who meets the challenges of autism with tenacity and good humour. However often he falls down, he always gets back up. Higashida s observations across a whole range of topics are moving and thought-provoking -- all the more so for coming from the perspective of a social outsider Guardian

Life, Part Two - David Chernikoff

A guide to seven essential elements that will illuminate your path to spiritual realization and wise elderhood.What Carl Jung called “the second half of life” has the potential to be a remarkable curriculum for insight and awakening. When wisely understood, the changes inherent in the aging process become stepping-stones to the actualization of our best human qualities: wisdom, lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Author David Chernikoff has spent decades pursuing spiritual study and practice with remarkable teachers, including Ram Dass, Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, Father Thomas Keating, and Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. In Life, Part Two, he distills lessons from across contemplative traditions to invite readers to embrace seven essential elements of conscious living: embracing the mystery, choosing a vision, cultivating intuitive wisdom, committing to inner work, suffering effectively, serving from the heart, and celebrating the journey. These elements culminate in wise elderhood--a state celebrated by indigenous cultures around the world, yet largely unacknowledged in contemporary Western society. For those of us who aspire to live fully and to love well as we age, Life, Part Two is a lucid guidebook that empowers us to personally thrive and to contribute with ever greater clarity and purpose.

She⠙s the lynchpin of a top-secret project, Red Queen, created to work across borders to solve the most devious and dangerous crimes, those that are beyond the skills of the regular police.But the Red Queen project is under attack on all fronts. Across Europe, its agents are murdering each other, and long-resolved cases from the past are rearing their deadly heads again. At the centre of it all is the mysterious and dangerous Mr White.Jon Gutiérrez, Antonia⠙s protector and the only person she trusts, has been kidnapped. With Jon⠙s life at stake, Mr White gives Antonia a seemingly innocuous challenge: solve three crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice.The only way to keep Jon alive is to play Mr White⠙s game, but can Antonia win when she can only see part of the board?The thrilling conclusion to Juan Gómez- Jurado⠙s internationally bestselling Antonia Scott trilogy. Translated by Nick Caistor and Lorenza Garcia.Praise for Juan Gómez-Jurado: What impresses is the brainy brio of Gómez-Jurado s storytelling, as well as his striking depiction of Madrid as two cities, an elegant baroque facade concealing a gothic underworld - The Sunday Times Fizzes with energy and lively scene-setting . . .

They All Love Jack - Bruce Robinson

LONGLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE FOR NON-FICTIONA book like no other â “ the tale of a gripping quest to discover the identity of historyâ ™s most notorious murderer and a literary high-wire act from the legendary writer and director of Withnail and I.For over a hundred years, â ˜the mystery of Jack the Ripperâ ™ has been a source of unparalleled fascination and horror, spawning an army of obsessive theorists, and endless volumes purporting finally to reveal the identity of the brutal murderer who terrorised Victorian England.But what if there was never really any â ˜mysteryâ ™ at all? What if the Ripper was always hiding in plain sight, deliberately leaving a trail of clues to his identity for anyone who cared to look, while cynically mocking those who were supposedly attempting to bring him to justice?In THEY ALL LOVE JACK, the award-winning film director and screenwriter Bruce Robinson exposes the cover-up that enabled one of historyâ ™s most notorious serial killers to remain at large. More than twelve years in the writing, this is much more than a radical reinterpretation of the Jack the Ripper legend, and an enthralling hunt for the killer. A literary high-wire act reminiscent of Tom Wolfe or Hunter S. Thompson, it is an expressionistic journey through the cesspools of late-Victorian society, a phantasmagoria of highly placed villains, hypocrites and institutionalised corruption.Polemic, forensic investigation, panoramic portrait of an age, underpinned by deep scholarship and delivered in Robinsonâ ™s inimitably vivid and scabrous prose, THEY ALL LOVE JACK is an absolutely riveting and unique book, demolishing the theories of generations of self-appointed experts â “ the so-called â ˜Ripperologistsâ ™ â “ to make clear, at last, who really did it; and more importantly, how he managed to get away with it for so long.

Následovaly další velmi úspěšné singly a albový debut Thats What They All Say, který startoval na pátém místě amerického žebříčku. Výsledkem bylo několik hvězdných kolaborací, z nichž nejvýraznější je spolupráce s Lil Nas X na skladbě Industry Baby (číslo 1 v US hitparádě).

The Fall of Roe - Elizabeth Dias, Lisa Lerer

Women today are more equal than at any other time in American history. The #MeToo movement has transformed American workplaces. Christian power is weakening as the US grows increasingly secular. Democrats currently control Washington. And yet in this moment of growing equality and diminishing religiosity, women have lost one of the cornerstone achievements of liberal politics: the right to access an abortion. It #39;s easy to characterise abortion politics as a familiar, decades-long battle- evangelicals against feminists, Republican states versus Democratic states, grassroots fighting elites. That kind of political thinking misunderstands the current moment. Abortion is, of course, about a right to terminate a pregnancy. But it #39;s also the stage where the United States works through some of its most fundamental cultural and moral debates. In THE FALL OF ROE, two top New York Times journalists, Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer, have written the definitive book on the end of Roe, revealing how the strategic battle over the most contentious topic in politics helps us understand the battle for control over America. THE FALL OF ROE looks at the playbook for how the religious right came to dominate American politics, a strategy that has vaulted anti-abortion activists into central roles in the conservative movement. And unless Democrats shift their strategy, it is those activists who will be the power brokers who determine the future of America. Furthermore, given that these debates and strategies have influence here and throughout the world, THE FALL OF ROE will be essential not only for understanding America but also informing our own future.

Picturebook Makers: Part 2

Following the success of part one, thirteen more world-class picturebook makers share their processes, inspire us with stunning illustrations, and demonstrate the immense creative potential of this unique and dynamic art form. Far from being simple, picturebook creation can be a complex, lengthy and enigmatic process. Part two of the Picturebook Makers series once again gives voice to much-loved contemporary picturebook artists. With great generosity, the international creators share their processes, inspirations, challenges, doubts, insights, and show us that the unseen evolution of an idea is as interesting as the final result , as observed by Shaun Tan in part one of this series. The intimate talks with the creators allow us to not only discover the myriad of ways in which the initial idea for a picturebook can arise, but also the wildly different creative processes which inform the development of each work. As Meghan Cox Gurdon observes in her review of Picturebook Makers in The Wall Street Journal: ⠜There⠙s mystery in the process and, with luck, magic in the outcome.⠝Featuring Carson Ellis, Axel Scheffler, Anna Höglund, Sydney Smith, Kristin Roskifte, André Letria, Issa Watanabe, Valerio Vidali Vióleta Lopiz, Anete Melece, Vincent Pianina, Marika Maijala, and Jimmy Liao.

How to Fall in Love with the Future - Rob Hopkins

There are an infinite number of possible futures that lie ahead of us⠔like threads stretching out into the distance. Rob Hopkins, cofounder of the international Transition Network movement, invites us to travel to future worlds we would actually want to live in.In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted every aspect of daily life, climate activist and Transition Network cofounder Rob Hopkins responded the way a lot of people did: by starting a podcast. But it wasn⠙t any ordinary podcast. In each episode, Hopkins and his guests would ⠜time travel⠝ together to the year 2030⠔walking down imagined future streets, talking with imagined future neighbors, visiting imagined future local businesses. While Hopkins⠙s guests came from all walks of life⠔economists, politicians, bakers, comedians, novelists and more⠔they all shared a willingness to suspend their worries about the future long enough to mentally inhabit and then describe a world they were thrilled to be a part of.What Hopkins discovered was no less profound: this simple exercise of visiting a positive future forced him to rethink the work he⠙d been doing as a climate activist for decades.How to Fall in Love with the Future is the result of that radical disruption⠔and Hopkins⠙s deep dive into the people and movements throughout history who have used visions of the future to inspire positive change on a large and dramatic scale. From the life and writings of musician Sun Ra and the history of Black utopian movements to the latest neuroscience on what goes on in our minds⠔and hearts⠔when we ⠜time travel,⠝ Hopkins brings essential new thinking to anyone overwhelmed with dread and anxiety for the future. He asks us to consider: what would the world look like if we all got to work imagining⠔and then building⠔a world we were deeply in love with?⠜Rob Hopkins puts imagination back at the heart of future-dreaming, offering us an irresistible invitation to dream bigger and then make those dreams a reality.⠝⠔Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics

Words of Radiance Part One - Brandon Sanderson

Expected by his enemies to die the miserable death of a military slave, Kaladin survived to be given command of the royal bodyguards, a controversial first for a low-status darkeyes. Now he must protect the king and Dalinar from every common peril as well as the distinctly uncommon threat of the Assassin, all while secretly struggling to master remarkable new powers that are somehow linked to his honorspren, Syl. The Assassin, Szeth, is active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all pursuers. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered the power behind the Alethi throne.His leading role in the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin s master has much deeper motives. Brilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a parallel path. Despite being broken in ways she refuses to acknowledge, she bears a terrible burden: to somehow prevent the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that will follow.The secrets she needs can be found at the Shattered Plains, but just arriving there proves more difficult than she could have imagined. Meanwhile, at the heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi are making an epochal decision. Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled.The possible consequences for Parshendi and humans alike, indeed, for Roshar itself, are as dangerous as they are incalculable.

Jim Crow: Voices from a Century of Struggle Part 2 (LOA #387) - Tyina L. Steptoe

W.E.B. Du Bois famously identified the problem of the color-line as the defining issue in American life. The powerful writings gathered here reveal the many ways Americans, Black and white, fought against white supremacist efforts to police the colour line, envisioning a better America in the face of disenfranchisement, segregation, and widespread lynching, mob violence, and police brutality. Jim Crow: Voices from a Century of Struggle, Part Two brings together speeches, pamphlets, newspaper and magazine articles, public testimony and appeals, judicial opinions, and poems and song lyrics - more than ninety essential texts in all - from the end of the bloody Red Summer of 1919 to the Boston busing crisis of 1974-76. This volume includes writing by both famous and lesser known individuals, including: - B. C. Franklin on the Tulsa Massacre - Robert Russa Moton s suppressed address on the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial - Alain Locke s tribute to the New Negro - Ned Cobb s recounting of the harsh realities of sharecropping - Thurgood Marshall on police brutality in wartime Detroit - Rosa Parks s appeal for justice for Recy Taylor - Earl Warren s landmark opinion in Brown - Paul Robeson s defiant response to congressional inquisitors - Fannie Lou Hamer s eloquent challenge to disenfranchisement in Mississippi and James Baldwin on the myths and meaning of the American Dream. Also presented are white supremacist writings from the 1920s Klan and the Dixiecrats of 1948; examples of Southern voter literacy tests; blues lyrics sung by Bessie Smith and Big Bill Broonzy; Robert F. Williams s controversial call for armed Black self-defense; speeches by Marcus Garvey and Stokeley Carmichael; letters in the Black press about Confederate monuments; Ann Moody on her childhood in segregated Mississippi; and Mary McLeod Bethune s advocacy for reproductive rights as an essential element of democratic freedom. As the teaching of our nation s history, especially the history of race in America, becomes increasingly contested, this book will serve as a vital resource, a crucial reminder of where we ve been, how far we ve come, and how long the road ahead remains.

They Were Found Wanting - Miklos Banffy

Perfect late night reading JAN MORRIS Banffy is a born storyteller PATRICK LEIGH FERMOR Totally absorbing MARTHA KEARNEY So evocative SIMON JENKINS The second volume of Miklos Banffy #39;s panoramic trilogy of the dying years of the Habsburg empire. The tale of two Transylvanian cousins, their loves, their ambitions and their fortunes continues in They Were Found Wanting. Balint Abady is forced to part from the beautiful and unhappily married Adrienne Uzdy. Laszlo Gyeroffy is rapidly heading for self-destruction through drink and his own fecklessness. The politicians, quarrelling among themselves and stubbornly ignoring their countrymen #39;s real needs, are still pursuing their vendetta with the Habsburg rule from Vienna. Meanwhile they fail to notice how the Great Powers - through such events as Austria #39;s annexation of Bosnia-Herzagovina in 1908 - are moving ever closer to the conflagration of 1914-1918 that will destroy their world for ever. Banffy #39;s portrait contrasts a life of privilege and corruption with the lives and problems of an expatriate Romanian peasant minority whom Balint tries to help. It is an unrivalled evocation of a rich and fascinating aristocratic world oblivious of its impending demise. Part two of the trilogy that began with They Were Counted, and ends with They Were Divided.Translated from the Hungarian by Patrick Thursfield and Katalin Banffy-Jelen With a Foreword by Patrick Leigh-Fermor WINNER OF THE WEIDENFELD TRANSLATION PRIZE
