Having completed a controversial twelve-year military career, Captain Richard Blake finds his subsequent service with the Officer Special Reserve Corps soon significantly eating into his first civilian career as a broker in Lloyd’s of London.Initially, this is no small part due to the passionate, irresponsible side of his nature allowing him to become victim of a dazzling lady with subversive anti-British intensions. What ensues, including the tragic death of his lover, draws him more deeply into secret service involvement. He then falls under the ruthless control of an MI6 martinet of a colonel who eventually persuades his employer to allow Richard to become a full time MI6 operative.Having been almost murdered while operating in New York the new agent is selected to take part in a vital West African mission with another former fellow officer and old friend. Things soon become far more complex and hazardous, and dramatically intensifies when his friend is sadistically slaughtered by their main opponent there. Richard must face further danger in both the Far East and on secondment to the Nigerian army as he continues to fight the enemies of Western civilisation.

The all-new collection of hair-raising missteps and hilarious antics on Diddly Squat Farm, from gentleman farmer and two-time Sexiest Man Alive winner, Jeremy Clarkson. 'Fans of Prime TV series Clarkson's Farm will enjoy this companion' IRISH TIMESUncooperative animals, underperforming crops, and rather less than best-laid plans pursued with unbridled enthusiasm. Clarkson’s farm is the gift that keeps on giving. But, as one overseas visitor* admitted, he only came to Diddly Squat because he just didn’t believe that Jeremy could be so incompetent. Not one to be discouraged, however, our hero decides to bring his misunderstood entrepreneurial flair to bear on a new venture: a pub. And just a few short weeks later, the doors open on The Farmer’s Dog. All British produce, Hawkstone beer on tap, a private bar for farmers and a vintage tractor hanging from the ceiling. The perfect country pub. A welcome distraction from sustainable farming initiatives, psychedelic wheat, angry protests in central London and a headbutting goat. What, you may be asking, could possibly go wrong?On top of the lavatories packing up and the electricity running out, you mean? As the Cotwolds’ newest publican quickly discovers, there’s a lot more to landlording than pulling pints. Just as well, then, that he still has Lisa, Kaleb, Cheerful Charlie and Gerald to help him through. Especially now his doctor’s told him he’s got to become a vegetablist …*along with the whole of the rest of China, apparently___________Praise for Clarkson's Farm:'The best thing Clarkson's done . . .

Motoristický pořad Top Gear sleduje po celém světě asi 350 milionů diváků, momentálně běží i na českém kanálu Prima Cool. Za jeho mimořádnou popularitou stojí zejména hlavní moderátor Jeremy Clarkson, autor této knihy. Začal ji psát, aby se vyznal ze své vášně pro auta a také aby zjistil, co vlastně lidi k nejrůznějším strojům tolik přitahuje. A k čemu došel? Že ty nejvíce fascinující automobily, letadla, ponorky, raketoplány a další technické výtvory mají jedno společné: za každým z nich najdeme nějakého vizionářského inženýra či nadšeného konstruktéra, který svému stroji vdechl "duši" a právě ta je tím, co nás ke strojům poutá. Mimoto se od Clarksona dozvíme některé zásadní informace, například kde se nejlíp schovat v případě nukleární války či kdo by vyhrál, kdyby se v souboji utkali Superman, James Bond a Terminátor. Jeremy Clarkson (1960) je britská moderátorská hvězda a autor dvanácti knižních bestsellerů. Miluje rychlá auta, která velmi svérázným způsobem testuje, představuje a komentuje ve svém pořadu Top Gear. Miliony fanoušků oceňují jeho břitký humor, který se nezastaví před ničím a před nikým. Svou obrovskou popularitu vysvětluje lapidárně: "Žijeme v nudném světě a náš pořad je proto vítanou změnou."

Audiokniha: Od Top Gear k farmě aneb Od rychlých aut k největšímu traktoru. Pokračování knihy bývalého moderátora televizního pořadu Top Gear, který si během covidu pořídil farmu a místo prohánění rychlých aut začal řídit největší traktor na světě. Pokračování první knihy sloupků slavného moderátora a novináře o jeho farmářských eskapádách. „Nadále miluju to, co dělám, ačkoli mi to moc nejde. Horší je, že teď mám něco, co je ze všeho nejnebezpečnější: trochu znalostí. Například poznám rozdíl mezi pšenicí a ječmenem... Ale ze všeho nejlépe vím, že farmaření je nesmírně náročná, i když nic moc placená práce.“ Clarkson píše s břitkým anglickým vtipem a nadhledem, humor ho však trochu přechází, když třeba glosuje vystoupení Velké Británie z Evropské unie, které kromě jiných důsledků silně poškodilo britské farmáře. Nepropadá však beznaději a dodává optimismus všem stejně postiženým, kteří rozjížděli nové projekty, ve kterých se měly otáčet peníze, aby pak jen s hrůzou sledovali, s jak nákladným neúspěchem končí. Ale i když se něco nedaří, alespoň nás Jeremy Clarkson pobaví.

Jeremy Clarkson, jedna z nejznámějších televizních osobností a bývalý moderátor motoristického pořadu Top Gear, jenž měl za jeho éry po světě stamiliony diváků, je velmi bystrý a taky vtipný novinář a publicista - a zajisté i ten nejvyšší a s nejvíce prořízlou pusou. Výbor z jeho článků představuje českému čtenáři pomyslnou a velmi vysokou laťku psaní nejen o autech, ale i o jiných příjemných i otravných jevech našeho každodenního života. Autor si nebere servítky před nikým a před ničím, ať je to ministerský předseda, ženská otázka, cyklisti, imigranti nebo nepořádek na ulicích. Vědomě a trefně se vysmívá především politické korektnosti, která ovládla Anglii i celou spojenou Evropu, a ukazuje opravdovou tvář lidí a stav našeho světa pomocí překotných, o to však legračnějších nadsázek. Jeremy Clarkson se narodil roku 1960 v Doncateru v hrabství Yorkshire do rodiny učitelky a obchodního cestujícího. Jako středoškolský student byl vyloučen ze soukromé školy v Reptonu za požívání alkoholu, kouření a nevhodné chování. Jeho prvním zaměstnáním bylo prodávat pro otcovu firmu plyšové figurky medvídka Paddingtona. Poté začal psát pro různé anglické listy, nejdříve lokální a pak i celostátní. Časem se vyprofiloval jako píšící odborník na automobily. Roku 1984 založil agenturu MPA, která se specializovala na testy nových vozů a pak je prodávala těm periodikům, která za ně byla ochotná zaplatit. Posléze začal psát o autech i do prestižního časopisu Top Gear a od roku 1988 se stal světoznámým moderátorem stejnojmenného pořadu televize BBC, kde s dvouletou přestávkou vydržel od roku 1988 do roku 2015, kdy byl vyhozen za to, že fyzicky napadl produkčního, který mu po celodenním natáčení nezajistil teplou večeři.

Welcome back to Clarkson's Farm.At the end of Jeremy's first year in the tractor's driving seat, Diddly Squat farm rewarded him with a profit of just GBP144. So, while he's the first to admit that he's still only a 'trainee farmer'*, there is clearly still work to be done.Because while he's mastered the art of moaning about nearly everything, some of the other attributes required of a successful farmer prove more of a challenge. Who knew, for instance, that loading a grain trailer was more demanding than flying an Apache gunship? That cows were more dangerous than motor-racing? Or that it would have been easier to get planning permission build a nuclear power station than to turn an old barn into a farm restaurant?But if the council planning department and the local red trouser brigade seem determine to frustrate his schemes at every turn, at least he's got Lisa, Kaleb, Cheerful Charlie and Gerald, his dry-stone-walling Head of Security to see him through. And cold beer brewed with spring barley harvested from Diddly Squat's own fields ...Life on Clarkson's Farm may not always go according to plan. There may not always be one. But there's not a day goes by when Jeremy can't say 'I've done a thing' and mean it ...

How one visionary inspired 200 years of art, poetry, and protest…Weaving between the historical, cultural and personal, award-winning author Philip Hoare reveals a web of creative minds and artistic iconoclasts fired with the wild and revolutionary genius of William Blake.‘A life-changing book’ The Times, Book of the Week‘A poetic fever dream’Telegraph‘Queer in all senses of the word’ Neil Tennant‘Undoubtedly Hoare’s masterpiece’ Olivia LaingIn 1973, Derek Jarman set off from London to film the stones of Avebury. He was following in the footsteps of Paul Nash, who had photographed the ancient megaliths a generation before. Standing in that muddy field, by those stones, both artists had felt a direct connection to their hero – a man who had died a long, long time ago, yet who remained electrically alive to them.In this alluring and poetic odyssey, Philip Hoare traces the enduring legacy of William Blake and how he came to inspire so many creative lives. Reaching out of his past and into our future, Blake draws together the natural world and metaphysical realms, merging the human and the animal and the spiritual, firing up twentieth-century artists, filmmakers, poets, writers and musicians with his radical promise of absolute freedom. This stirring, deeply felt book brings us back to Blake and shows that art still has the power to create positive change.‘A book that is neither Blake biography nor critical analysis nor legacy-tracing nor personal odyssey but a capacious mixing of them all … a joyful and dizzying romp through the stories of those who came under Blake’s posthumous spell’ Philip Marsden,Spectator ‘Beneath the leaps and returns, the book is skilfully structured, following Blake’s life and art, and rendering all the inset lives complete, however discontinuous they appear … One can foresee a rush of books in the run-up to 2027, the bicentenary of Blake’s death, but nothing will be as audacious or intriguing as William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love’ Jenny Uglow, TLS

A fully updated edition of the most comprehensive illustrated survey of the life and work of Peter Blake, one of Britain’s most popular artists. Since his emergence in the early 1960s as a key member of the Pop Art movement, Peter Blake has become one of the best-known and most popular artists of his generation. Though primarily a painter, he has worked across many media, from drawings, watercolours and collages to sculpture and printmaking, as well as commercial art in the form of graphics and album covers – most notably his design for The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album in 1967. Exploring his remarkable creative output from the 1950s to the present, Peter Blake is the most comprehensive illustrated survey available of the life and work of the artist. Marco Livingstone grounds Blake’s art firmly in his working-class origins, identifying a yearning for the innocence of childhood in his bittersweet paintings of the early to mid-1950s that depict children reading comics or going to the Saturday matinee at the cinema. From that moment, while studying at the Royal College of Art in London, Blake concerned himself with popular entertainments as subject matter, and as the source of formal solutions, for his paintings. The directness with which Blake gave expression to his enthusiasms for mass culture during the 1950s brought him to the forefront of the Pop Art movement before it had even been named, and independently of the investigations into similar areas by other British, American and European artists. The radical nature of his collage paintings of 1959–62, in particular, in which he combined existing imagery from popular culture with unapologetically bold and bright colours, made him a singularly influential figure within British Pop. This fully updated edition includes a new chapter on what the artist has jokingly styled his ‘Late Period’, in which Blake has continued to mine the many strands of his art with undiminished energy and completed some of his most ambitious long-standing projects. As well as the sheer scale of Blake’s production, what becomes clear is the kaleidoscopic variety of subject matter, form and medium to be found in his work, its humour and friendly appeal, and, above all, its celebration of life and humanity.

Familiar to both young and old, Quentin Blake’s entertaining and lively artworks are full of characters that have amused and inspired generations of readers. He is best-known for his collaborations on children’s books, including those written by Michael Rosen, John Yeoman, Russell Hoban, and, most famously, Roald Dahl.An artist for seven decades, Blake’s first drawings were published in Punch when he was just sixteen. He has also illustrated literary classics such as A Christmas Carol, Candide, and Don Quixote, and in the last twenty years, Blake has extended his practice to large-scale works for hospitals, libraries, and public spaces. He has received numerous prizes and awards for his illustration work, including the Whitbread Award, the Kate Greenaway Medal, and the international Bologna Ragazzi Award. In 1999, he was appointed the United Kingdom’s first-ever Children’s Laureate; he has won the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, the highest international recognition given to creators of children’s books; and he has been awarded a knighthood for “services to illustration.”A unique celebration of the illustrator’s art to date, this beautiful collection guides the reader through Blake’s extraordinary body of work. Seventy years of the artist’s drawings and illustrations of enormous diversity are represented―including recent unpublished work―alongside text by distinguished writer and illustration specialist Jenny Uglow, with commentary by Blake himself.

''Tender, vivid and achingly sad'' GUARDIAN, BOOK OF THE YEARTWO SISTERS publishes on the 30th anniversary of Blake Morrison’s ground-breaking book And When Did You Last See Your Father? which forged the way for a new genre of confessional memoir.‘She’s gone, that’s all, and though there’s no retrieving her I’d like to make sense of who she was and what she became. It wasn’t just that she changed over time. She could change from day to day. Drink made it worse but the origins went deeper. You never knew which you’d get, the kind and loving Gill or her doppelgänger. Two sisters.’Blake Morrison has lost a sister and a half-sister in recent years. Both are the subjects of this remarkable and heart-breaking memoir, along with a forensic examination of sibling relationships in history and literature.Blake’s sister Gill struggled with alcoholism for a large part of her life, and her shocking death is the starting point for Two Sisters.

Pořiďte si sestavu stolu a dvou lavic ve skandinávském stylu. Elegantní set zahradního nábytku Blake z borovice s černou podnoží k dostání za skvělou cenu. Sada zahradního nábytku Blake kopíruje neotřelý moderní design a zároveň splňuje všechny požadavky na komfortní sezení. Chcete-li sdílet svůj čas s rodinou nebo přáteli v srdci vaší zahrady nebo na terase, touto sestavou neuděláte chybu. Tmavým kovovým podnožím a dřevěnou deskou těží z industriálního skandinávského stylu, který se skvěle hodí ke všem venkovním dekoracím. Na dvě lavice o délce 160 cm se pohodlně usadí až 6 lidí. O materiálu zahradního posezení Blake Sestava je vyrobena z dřeva skotské borovice v kombinaci s kovovým podnožím ošetřeným práškovým lakem. Skotská borovice je známá pro svou přirozenou odolnost proti špatnému počasí, UV záření a teplotním výkyvům. Prkna jsou ošetřena proti hnilobě. Sestavu můžete nechat venku, není nutná žádná údržba. Stůl a lavice mohou získat přirozenou patinu, což je normální proces. Každý kus je tak po čase originálem. Dřevo se v horku nenahřívá a přežije rozlité pivo i dětské hry. Dřevěné posezení s lavicemi je klasikou v gastro zařízeních, jako jsou zahrádky restaurací, či hospůdek. Dřevo borovice je příjemně měkké, pevné, pružné a obsahuje vyšší podíl pryskyřice, a tak dobře zvládá vlhko. Prkna z ní mají mnoho linií a díky přírodní struktuře je každý kus nábytku originálem s jedinečnou kresbou. Borovice je o něco křehčí než smrk, ale lépe odolává vlhku a zdobí ji výrazné letokruhy. Péče o dřevěný nábytek a doplňky Při běžném čištění stačí nábytek otřít od prachu a nečistot. Pokud je znečištění větší, můžete jej lehce osmirkovat a poté natřít ochranným olejem. Při delším používání nezapomeňte na dotažení šroubů a sklížení spojů. Pokud chcete mít posezení celý rok venku a bez zastřešení, doporučujeme dokoupit ochranné obaly na nábytek. Sestavu přikryjete PVC plachtou, a je tak chráněna před nepříznivými povětrnostními vlivy a zašpiněním. A po každé fujavici si sednete na čistý a suchý nábytek! Aby se vám sedělo ještě pohodlněji, zvažte pořízení polstrů – pro sestavu Blake z borovice se vám budou hodit polstry na lavice. Podušky zajistí měkčí sezení a celý set nábytku barevně oživí. Pak už stačí jen stůl ozdobit pěkným ubrusem a oslava nebo grilovačka může začít. Nebo ji ponechte bez polstrů – masivní dřevo skotské borovice je krásné samo o sobě. Stručně: proč si pořídit set Blake ze skotské borovice? Dřevo je tradičním přírodním materiálem, který nikdy nevyjde z módy, u jídelního stolu se na dvou lavicích pohodlně usadí 6 osob, elegantní venkovní posezení ve skandinávském stylu za příznivou cenu, sestava má vysokou nosnost a při správné péči vám bude dobře sloužit desítky let. Masivní sestava z borovice je nejoblíbenější jako vybavení teras, chat a hospodských zahrádek. Prohlédněte si všechny zahradní sestavy z masivu a vyberte tu nejlepší, se kterou budete trávit příjemné chvíle na zahradě, či terase. Materiál: kov + borovice, Obsahuje: 2x lavice, 1x stůl, Rozměr stolu: délka 1800 x výška 750 x šířka 800, Hmotnost stolu: 79, Rozměr 3-místné lavice/pohovky: délka 1600 x výška 450 x šířka 300, Hmotnost 3-místné lavice/pohovky: 17, Hmotnost balení: 113

''If a thing loves, it is infinite'' William BlakeA short, impassioned argument for why the visionary artist William Blake is important in the twenty-first centuryThe visionary poet and painter William Blake is a constant presence throughout contemporary culture - from videogames to novels, from sporting events to political rallies and from horror films to designer fashion. Although he died nearly 200 years ago, something about his work continues to haunt the twenty-first century. What is it about Blake that has so endured? In this illuminating essay, John Higgs takes us on a whirlwind tour to prove that far from being the mere New Age counterculture figure that many assume him to be, Blake is now more relevant than ever.

Audiokniha: Ty nejúžasnější automobily, letadla, ponorky, raketoplány a další technické výtvory mají podle autora jedno společné: za každým z nich stojí vizionářský inženýr či nadšený konstruktér, který svému stroji vdechl "duši", ať už šlo o luxusní vůz Rolls-Royce Phantom, letadlo Jumbo Jet, sportovní člun Riva Aquarama, nebo dokonce parabolickou anténu Arthur. Mimoto se od Clarksona dozvíme zásadní informace jako např. kam se nejlíp schovat v případě nukleární války, proč je vesmírná loď z Hvězdných válek lepší, než ta ze Star Treku, či kdo by vyhrál, kdyby se v souboji utkali Superman, James Bond a Terminátor. O „strojích s duší“ vypráví Zbyšek Horák, který byl od roku 2002 oficiálním českým hlasem Jeremyho Clarksona v pořadu Top Gear. „Clarkson vyznává svůj vztah k pro něj významným strojům v pestrém záběru od automobilů, přes samopaly, přehrady až ke kosmickým lodím. Vše popisuje s technickou i historickou přesností a koření brilantním světáckým pohledem i humorem.“ — Kultura21.cz

From the internationally bestselling author of The Atlas Six, Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a glimpse into the nature of love, what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken. Chicago, sometime. Two people meet in the armory of the Art Institute by chance.Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. After their meeting, those things do not change. Everything else, however, is slightly different.Both obsessive, eccentric personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan struggle to be without each other from the moment they meet. The truth - that he is a clinically depressed, anti-social theoretician and she is a manipulative liar with a history of self-sabotage - means the deeper they fall in love, the more troubling their reliance on each other becomes. Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a literary, intimate study of time, space - and a love story like no other.Praise for Olivie Blake:'Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent' - Chloe Gong'This is a book to savor' - Publishers Weekly'Pages fly by in this character-driven novel that is intimate, complicated, and utterly romantic' - Booklist

It's been another memorable year on Diddly Squat Farm - will the chickens finally come home to roost? Welcome back to Clarkson’s Farm . . .Where the spring barley crop has failed. Just like the oil seed rape. And the oats turned the colour of a hearing aid.The mushrooms went mouldy. While the sheep, pigs and cows cost more than they earned. At least, the farm shop’s doing a roaring trade in candles – even if they smell like Jeremy’s knacker hammock.So never mind the rain, the skirmishes with the local planning department and the gargantuan hole in Jeremy’s wallet. Because it’s hard to feel too gloomy about life when there’s a JCB telehandler, a crop-spraying hovercraft and a digger waiting in the barn. For any man with several metric tons of powerful machinery at his fingertips must be doing something right . . .

Welcome to Clarkson's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else Then one day he decided he would do the farming himself. After all, how hard could it be? Well . . . Faced with suffocating red tape, biblical weather, local objections, a global pandemic and his own frankly staggering ignorance of how to 'do farming', Jeremy soon realises that turning the farm round is going to take more than splashing out on a massive tractor. Fortunately, there's help at hand from a large and (mostly) willing team including girlfriend Lisa, Kaleb the Tractor Driver, Cheerful Charlie, Ellen the Shepherd and Gerald, his Head of Security and Dry Stone Waller. Between them they enthusiastically cultivate crops, rear livestock and hens, keep bees, bottle spring water and open a farm shop. But profits remain elusive. And yet while the farm may be called Diddly Squat for good reason, Jeremy soon begins to understand that it's worth a whole lot more to him than pounds, shillings and pence . . .

''To see a World in a Grain of Sand''And a Heaven in a Wild FlowerHold Infinity in the palm of your handAnd Eternity in an hour''William Blake wrote some of the most moving and memorable verse in the English language. Deeply committed to visionary and imaginative experience, yet also fiercely engaged with the turbulent politics of his era, he is now recognised as a major contributor to the Romantic Movement. This edition presents Blake''s poems in their literary categories and genres to which they belong: his much-loved lyrics, ballads, comic and satirical verse, descriptive and discursive poems, verse epistles, and, finally, his remarkable ''prophetic'' poems, including the whole of his two diffuse epics, Milton and Jerusalem. Blake''s poetry is intellectually challenging as well as formally inventive, and this edition has a substantial critical introduction which places his ideas in the contemporary context of the Enlightenment and the artistic reaction against its key assumptions.
