The captivating true story of an underdog business – a feminist bookshop founded in Thatcher’s Britain – from a woman at the heart of the women’s liberation movement.An Independent and Stylist Best Non-Fiction Book for 2024What was it like to start a feminist bookshop, in an industry dominated by men? How could a lesbian thrive in Thatcher’s time, with the government legislating to restrict her rights? How do you run a business when your real aim is to change the world?Silver Moon was the dream of three women – a bookshop with the mission to promote the work of female writers and create a much-needed safe space for any woman. Founded in 1980s London against a backdrop of homophobia and misogyny, it was a testament to the power of community, growing into Europe’s biggest women’s bookshop and hosting a constellation of literary stars from Margaret Atwood and Maya Angelou to Angela Carter. While contending with day-to-day struggles common to other booksellers, plus the additional burdens of misogyny and the occasional hate crime, Jane Cholmeley and her booksellers created a thriving business. But they also played a crucial and relatively unsung part in one the biggest social movements of our time.A Bookshop of One’s Own is a fascinating slice of social history from the heart of the women’s liberation movement, from a true feminist and lesbian icon. Written with heart and humour, it reveals the struggle and joy that comes with starting an underdog business, while being a celebration of the power women have to change the narrative when they are the ones holding the pen.

George Bernard Shaw's witty comedy of manners, Pygmalion includes an introduction by Nicholas Grene in Penguin Classics.Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences in 1914. A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of the sculptor Pygmalion, who falls in love with his perfect female statue, it is also a barbed attack on the British class system and a statement of Shaw's feminist views. In Shaw's hands, the phoneticist Henry Higgins is the Pygmalion figure who believes he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, into a duchess at ease in polite society. The one thing he overlooks is that his 'creation' has a mind of her own. Adapted into the Oscar-winning musical film My Fair Lady starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison in 1964, PygmalionThis is the definitive text produced under the editorial supervision of Dan H. Laurence, with an illuminating introduction by Nicholas Grene, discussing the language and politics of the play. Also included in this volume is Shaw's preface, as well as his 'sequel' written for the first publication in 1916, to rebut public demand for a more conventially romantic ending.Although essentially shy, Dublin-born George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) created the persona of GBS, the showman, satirist, conversationalist, critic, pundit, wit, intellectual buffoon and dramatist. Commentators brought a new adjective into English: 'Shavian', a term used to embody all his brilliant qualities. Deeply concerned by what he saw as the exploitation of the working class, Shaw was an active Socialist and a brilliant platform speaker. He remains the only person ever to have been awarded both the Nobel Prize in Literature and an Oscar.If you enjoyed Pygmalion, you might like Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, also available in Penguin Classics.

Profesor se vsadí s přítelem, že naučí mladou květinářku vybrané mluvě a chování, takže ji za pár měsíců nikdo nerozezná od rozené vévodkyně. Příběh Shawovy hry, v níž cítíme lehounkou ozvěnu pohádky o Popelce, je tedy velmi jednoduchý, a ona přitom oplývá mimořádně laskavými půvaby, vyniká nezaměnitelně britským, břitkým smyslem pro humor – při čtení máme pocit, jako by Shaw touto hrou z valné části britský vtip sám vynalezl. Jedna věta za druhou nás naplňuje radostně vzrušeným očekáváním příštího děje. A postavy jsou skuteční, živoucí Angličané. Jak komplikovaná je pavučina lidských vztahů a jak osvěžující je jejich podoba, když aktéři pocházejí z různých vrstev společnosti! Eliza má nadání a touhu pochopit víc – a navzdory mládí ví, že každou změnou nejen získáváme, ale i ztrácíme. Přespříliš se přizpůsobit tlaku okolí znamená ztratit svoji osobitost, ztratit to nejcennější – sám sebe. Takže není zas tolik překvapivé, že člověk s lepšími způsoby nakonec není profesor Higgins. Ten se však nejvíc dozví: Že nikdo nemá právo na život toho druhého, že nikoho nikdy nelze plně vlastnit. Jakoby navzdory této pravdě hra naznačuje šťastný konec... Shaw je jediný autor, který byl oceněn jak Nobelovou cenou, tak Oscarem – za film natočený právě podle jeho hry.

In Tokyo, there is a neighbourhood with the highest number of bookstores in the world. It is called Jinbocho where book lovers can browse to their heart's delight and where hunters of first editions or autographed copies prowl the bookcases. The Morisaki bookshop, a small family-run shop, is so packed with books that barely five people can fit inside.Books crowd the shelves and invade every corner of the floor; when a customer arrives, the owner, Satoru, immediately pops out from behind the counter. Recently, his wife Momoko has joined him, and often, in her free time after work, their niece Takako also helps out. For the first time, the girl does not feel lonely; she has new friends and new rituals to keep her company: the annual Jinbocho festival, the café around the corner, or an unexpected visitor.Because, as she has discovered, a bookstore is populated not by the characters contained in the books, but also by those who frequent it. And those stories create bonds. As a sign of gratitude, Takako gives her aunt and uncle a trip, promising to look after the shop while they are away.Everything seems to be going swimmingly, but then why is Satoru behaving so strangely? And what does that woman with the red umbrella want who has appeared at the end of the street? How many other stories, emotions, and treasures does the Morisaki bookshop hold?

It''s certainly not just about the shopping; these thoroughfares are often the beating heart of our towns and cities and, by extension, of the people who use them. As spaces where local life and culture unfolds, our high streets can be playgrounds of personal indulgence and community spirit, or sites of contentious debate and politicking. Historian Annie Gray takes us down the street and through the ages, from medieval marketplaces to the purpose-built concrete precincts of the twentieth century. Peeping through the windows of tailors, tearooms and grocers, we explore everything from the toyshops of yesteryear - where curiosities were sold for adults, not children - to the birth of brands we shop at today.Vibrant and enticing, The Bookshop, The Draper, The Candlestick Maker is an essential reflection on how we shopped and lived in days gone by - and what the future may bring.

Paříž, New York, Švýcarsko, zapadlý kout amerického venkova - to všechno jsou místa, která Irwin Shaw, jeden z nejlepších amerických prozaiků 20. století, mistrovsky zachytil ve své povídkové sbírce Láska v temné ulici. Věrně zobrazené prostředí však nebylo jeho jedinou doménou, vynikal především jako výborný vypravěč. Jako málokterý spisovatel dovedl spojit zvučný, mužný a někdy lehce ironický projev svých povídek s nevšedně jemným pochopením i těch nejniternějších pohnutek lidského chování. Shawův svět je v podstatě tragický, přestože on sám zdaleka není pesimista. V jeho civilních příbězích nejednou zazáří lidská něha, nesobeckost, obětavost a upřímný cit. Shaw obdivuje člověka a přes všechny výhrady věří v jeho morální sílu. Povídky dosahují po formální stránce vysoké úrovně, vynikají jak vtipnými dialogy, tak skvělou kresbou charakterů a Irwin Shaw v nich dokazuje, že je právem považován za mistra tohoto žánru.

Albanu Garrodovi se konečně podařilo to, po čem dlouho toužil: vyvinul takzvané pomalé sklo, které lidem umožňuje dívat se do minulosti a znovu prožít ty nejšťastnější vzpomínky. Brzy se ovšem ukáže, že pozoruhodný objev má i své stinné stránky. Když je Alban zapleten do vyšetřování vraždy prominentního senátora, začíná si uvědomovat, že je jen loutkou v cizích rukou a že jeho vynález slouží účelům mnohem děsivějším, než si on sám kdy představoval.

Snímače navrženy pro každou pozici a pečlivě navrženy pro špičkový tón, který si moderní hráči zamilují, jsou kalibrovány tak, aby poskytovaly nejlepší možný výkon, ať už jednotlivě nebo společně. Kobylkový snímač používá měděnou základní desku pro tradiční tón Tele®, spolu se zapuštěnými magnety Alnico 5 a drátem Formvar; snímač krku používá stejné vysoce kvalitní magnety Alnico 5, ale obsahuje obyčejný smaltovaný drát. Magnety Alnico 5 mají těsnější a soustředěnější zvuk oproti Alnico 3, které se používaly v nejstarších snímačích Fender, a jejich rychlý a jasný atak je ideální pro hráče, kteří tvarují svůj tón pomocí pedálů. Vodiče zůstávají věrné materiálům použitým v původní éře Fender a jsou zabalené v tkanině. Počet strun: 6 Země původu: USA

Co spojuje vysvalenou americkou mlátičku Hobbse a elegantního britského zabijáka Shawa? Jeden všehoschopný gauner, kterého by sami zastavit nedokázali. Dwayne Johnson a Jason Statham řádí v akční jízdě, která je o poznání rychlejší a zběsilejší. Když ti dva stanuli poprvé tváří v tvář ve filmu Rychle a zběsile 7, byla z toho nenávist na první pohled. Prodloužená ruka Spravedlnosti Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) a zběhlý agent britské tajné služby Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) byli proti své vůli nakonec donuceni spolupracovat a navzdory nekonečné averzi se jim to poměrně dařilo. I proto je asi nemělo zaskočit, že dostali společnou zakázku na nalezení a zneškodnění jedné tajné britské agentky, která údajně přešla do nepřátelského tábora. Shaw má v téhle operaci poměrně jasnou motivaci, protože jejich společným cílem je jeho mladší sestra Hattie (Vanessa Kirby). Řečeno slovy klasika, všechno je jinak, což Hobbs i Shaw zjistí hned poté, co ji najdou. Hattie se totiž na vlastní pěst pokusila zastavit jistého pana Brixtona (Idris Elba), který usiluje o vyhlazení poloviny lidstva, a sebrala mu něco, co k tomu dost potřebuje. A protože Brixton má materiální a překvapivě i fyzickou převahu, musí vzít Hobbs i Shaw nohy na ramena. Honička vede přes deštivý Londýn, radioaktivitou zamořené okolí Černobylu až na Hobbsovu rodnou Samou v Polynésii. Jenže před některými lidmi se prostě utéct nedá. Bonusy: • Vynechané a alternativní scény • Johnson a Statham: Hobbs a Shaw • Vývoj akčních scén s režisérem Davidem Leitchem • Skutečná akce • Noví přátelé • Komentář režiséra Davida Leitche
