It’s clever, brilliant and horrifying.’ Daily Mail‘A rattlingly good read . . . has much in common with Reeves'' best film roles.’ Sunday Times‘A pulpy, adrenaline-fueled thriller, but it’s also a moody, experimental novel about mortality, the slippery nature of time and what it means to be human.’ New York Times‘Exhilarating’ BBC Radio 4 Front Row''Bloody fun.'' Telegraph''Reeves and Mieville’s novel turns a (literally) comic book into a meditation on what it means to be truly alive that’s both affecting and enigmatic.’ SFX‘A sprawling blend of hi-octane action sequences and philosophical meditations on life, death and immortality that calls to mind Roger Zelazny’s Lord of Light… An absorbing combination of sci-fi, mythology and teleology.’ Irish Times-------------------------------She said, We needed a tool.

Který byl svědkem vzestupu a pádu tisícovky civilizací. On sám měl celou řadu jmen: Unute, Dítě blesku, Smrt. V dnešní době je známý jen jako B. A chce být schopen zemřít.

From cinematic legend Keanu Reeves comes four brutal tales from the blood-soaked pages of the Immortal Saga. In The Lost Book of B, the immortal warrior becomes a pawn of none other than Genghis Khan himself. As the berserker is used to destroy, devastate, and pave the way for the Silk Road, he must battle against his seemingly unstoppable violent urges and break free from the hold the warlord has over him. In Poetry of Madness, a sea of gore and devastation awaits as B. safeguards the advanced and ancient realm of Atlantis as its unstoppable protector.

Ke Keanu Reevesovi se přidali další autoři, aby společně vytvořili dvojici samostatných příběhů, zasazených do 80 000 let dlouhé historie BRSRKRa. V povídce „Symfonie zkázy“ se díky náhodnému setkání stane z Unuteho nepřemožitelný ochránce starobylé Atlantidy. Avšak temný kult, který se vetřel do královy přízně je i pro něj nebezpečným nepřítelem. Ve druhé povídce „Padlá říše“ se Unute ocitá jako zajatec v pouštním městě Olosu. Odmítá však bojovat ve službách krále Arnaka a tak zůstává v žaláři, ze kterého mu pomůže uprchnout sama královna. Oba se pak vydávají do pouště, pronásledováni Arnakovými vojáky.

A Book of the Year 2022 in The Economist and Daily MailA Barack Obama 2024 Summer Reading List Pick''One of the most important non-fiction books of the year'' - Sunday TimesBoys are 50% more likely than girls to fail at all three key school subjects: maths, reading and scienceIn the US, the wages of most men are lower today than they were in 1979, while women’s wages have risen across the boardIn the UK, suicide is the biggest killer of men under the age of 45Boys are falling behind at school and college because the educational system is structed in ways that put them at a disadvantage. Men are struggling in the labour market because of an economic shift away from traditionally male jobs. And fathers are dislocated because the cultural role of family provider has been hollowed out. The male malaise is not the result of a mass psychological breakdown, but of deep structural challenges.Structural challenges require structural solutions, and this is what Richard V. Reeves proposes in Of Boys and Men – starting boys at school a year later than girls; getting more men into caring professions; rethinking the role of fatherhood outside of a nuclear family context.Feminism has done a huge amount of good in the world. We now need its corollary – a positive vision of masculinity that is compatible with gender equality.

Winner of the Best Non-Biographical Book by a Parliamentarian at the Parliamentary Books Awards 2019.A complete account of the first 100 years of women in Parliament. With a foreword by Dame Mary Beard.In 1919 Nancy Astor was elected as the Member of Parliament for Plymouth Sutton, becoming the first woman MP to take her seat in the House of Commons. Her achievement was all the more remarkable given that women (and even then only some women) had only been entitled to vote for just over a year. In the past 100 years, a total of 491 women have been elected to Parliament. Yet it was not until 2016 that the total number of women ever elected surpassed the number of male MPs in a single parliament.The achievements of these political pioneers have been remarkable – Britain has now had two female Prime Ministers and women MPs have made significant strides in fighting for gender equality - from the earliest suffrage campaigns, to Barbara Castle’s fight for equal pay, to Harriet Harman’s recent legislation on the gender pay gap. Yet the stories of so many women MPs have too often been overlooked in political histories. In this book, Rachel Reeves brings forgotten MPs out of the shadows and looks at the many battles fought by the Women of Westminster, from 1919 to 2019.

The Complete Black Book of Russian Jewryis a collection of eyewitness testimonies, letters, diaries, affidavits, and other documents on the activities of the Nazis against Jews in the camps, ghettoes, and towns of Eastern Europe. Arguably, the only apt comparism is to The Gulag Archipelago of Alexander Solzhenitsyn. This definitive edition of The Black Book, including for the first time materials omitted from previous editions, is a major addition to the literature on the Holocaust. It will be of particular interest to students, teachers, and scholars of the Holocaust and those interested in the history of Europe.By the end of 1942, 1.4 million Jews had been killed by the Einsatzgruppen that followed the German army eastward; by the end of the war, nearly two million had been murdered in Russia and Eastern Europe. Of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, about one-third fell in the territories of the USSR. The single most important text documenting that slaughter is The Black Book, compiled by two renowned Russian authors Ilya Ehrenburg and Vasily Grossman. Until now, The Black Book was only available in English in truncated editions. Because of its profound significance, this new and definitive English translation of The Complete Black Book of Russian Jewry is a major literary and intellectual event.From the time of the outbreak of the war, Ehrenburg and Grossman collected the eyewitness testimonies that went into The Black Book. As early as 1943 they were planning its publication; the first edition appeared in 1944. During the years immediately after the war, Grossman assisted Ehrenburg in compiling additional materials for a second edition, which appeared in 1946 (in English as well as Russian).Since the fall of the Soviet regime, Irina Ehrenburg, the daughter of Ilya Ehrenburg, has recovered the lost portions of the manuscript sent to Yad Vashem. The texts recovered by Ms. Ehrenburg include numerous documents that had been censored from the original manuscript, as well as items that had been hidden by the Grossman family. In addition, she verified and, where appropriate, corrected the accuracy of documents that had already appeared in earlier editions of The Black Book.
