His impact was outsized and his legacy has only grown since his death.Now, for the first time, we have been granted a look into Bourdain's life through the stories and recollections of his closest friends and colleagues. Laurie Woolever, Bourdain's longtime assistant and confidante, interviewed nearly a hundred of the people who shared Tony's orbit-from members of his kitchen crews to his writing, publishing, and television partners, to his daughter and his closest friends - in order to piece together a remarkably full, vivid, and nuanced vision of Tony's life and work.From his childhood and teenage days, to his early years in New York, through the genesis of his game-changing memoir Kitchen Confidential to his emergence as a writing and television personality, and in the words of friends and colleagues including Eric Ripert, José Andrés, Nigella Lawson, and W. Kamau Bell, as well as family members including his brother and his late mother, we see the many sides of Tony - his motivations, his ambivalence, his vulnerability, his blind spots, and his brilliance.Unparalleled in scope and deeply intimate in its execution, with a treasure trove of photos from Tony's life, Bourdain: In Stories is a definitive testament to the life of a remarkable man in the words of the people who shared his world.

Když v červnu 2018 Anthony Bourdain zemřel, jeho obdivovatelé z celého světa se spojili, aby oslavili jedinečného člověka, který věnoval život cestování a líčení příběhů lidí ze všech koutů zeměkoule. Vliv Bourdaina byl obrovský a jeho odkaz od smrti získal na významu. Autorka knihy, Laurie Wooleverová, byla Bourdainovou dlouholetou asistentkou a příležitostnou spolupracovnicí, proto je ideálním člověkem na vyprávění Tonyho příběhu. Pro biografii požádala o rozhovor bezmála stovku lidí. Patří k nim jeho rodinní příslušníci, bývalí kolegové z kuchyně, novináři, umělci, šéfkuchaři a přátelé z televizního a produkčního štábu, který se podílel na tvorbě jeho cestovatelských pořadů. Jejich vyprávění a vzpomínky odhalují některé stránky této složité osobnosti, jež on sám před veřejností skrýval. Biografie obsahuje i méně známé kapitoly jeho života, přičemž na konci se kniha věnuje dalšímu neúspěšnému experimentu - Bourdainovu vztahu s italskou herečkou a filmařkou Asiou Argentoovou, která je vylíčena jako jedna z mnoha drog, jimž Tony nedokázal odolat. Po přečtení této vynikající knihy může čtenář namítnout, že Bourdainova sebevražda byla krutou, a nikoli nezbytnou tečkou za bouřlivým životem tohoto mimořádného člověka. Anebo si může myslet, že po řadě varování se Bourdain prostě jen stal obětí svých četných závislostí.

Kniha - autor Elizabeth Strout, 288 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Olive Kitteridge might be described by some as a battle axe or as brilliantly pushy, by others as the kindest person they had ever met. Olive herself has always been certain that she is 100% correct about everything - although, lately, her certitude has been shaken. This indomitable character appears at the centre of these narratives that comprise Olive Kitteridge. In each of them, we watch Olive, a retired schoolteacher, as she struggles to make sense of the changes in her life and the lives of those around her - always with brutal honesty, if sometimes painfully. Olive will make you laugh, nod in recognition, as well as wince in pain or shed a tear or two. We meet her stoic husband, bound to her in a marriage both broken and strong, and her own son, tyrannised by Olive's overbearing sensitivities. The reader comes away, amazed by this author's ability to conjure this formidable...

Téměř před dvaceti lety se v časopise The New Yorker objevil neblaze proslulý článek „Než se pustíte do jídla, čtěte následující!“ od tehdy málo známého šéfkuchaře Anthonyho Bourdaina. Svými postřehy o tom, co se děje za dveřmi kuchyně, nešetřil ničí chuťové buňky. Článek vyvolal senzaci a kniha, jež díky tomu vznikla, dnes už klasické Důvěrnosti z kuchyně, se stala ještě větší senzací a úspěšným bestsellerem s více než jedním milionem vydaných výtisků. Bourdain se v ní upřímně zpovídá, je návykově jízlivý, naprosto nemilosrdný a nic nezatajuje. Jeho příběhy z kuchyně jsou šokující, odhalují drsné praktiky „vysoké kuchyně“, ale jsou i vtipné, zábavné… a pravdivé. Bourdainovy vzpomínky na léta strávená v restauratérství nyní vycházejí rozšířené o dosud nepublikovaný materiál. Jistě vás nadchnou Tonyho ručně psané poznámky, zaujme rozhovor s jeho editorem a s chutí se začtete do předmluvy Érica Riperta, kuchaře, autora a televizní osobnosti specializující se na francouzskou kuchyni. Anthony Bourdain odhaluje: „Teď už chápu, proč se ta kniha kuchařům líbí a proč se zamlouvá i dalším lidem z branže. Nesčetněkrát jsem slyšel: ‚Popsal jsi můj život, kámo.‘“

Writing in response to Annie Ernaux and in conversation with Elena Ferrante, Colombe Schneck's three semi-autobiographical takes on a woman’s life form an elegant, powerful exploration of sexuality, bodily autonomy, friendship, loss and renewal. Colombe is seventeen in 1984 and carefree, busy discovering sex and studying for her baccalauréat.When she becomes pregnant her choice to have an abortion is never in question. Yet suddenly she must grapple with the body that has brought the precarity of her freedom into focus. Colombe and Héloïse are two little Parisian liberals, friends since the age of eleven.They look alike, have similar upbringings and for years they follow parallel paths: university, love affairs, work, marriage, children, divorce, more love affairs. They are the most enduring witnesses to each other’s lives, until illness betrays them. Colombe reconnects with Gabriel in her fifties; their relationship is passionate and transformative.As it unfolds, Colombe discovers many things about herself, including a newfound appreciation for swimming, and the euphoria and strength of a body learning when to push and when to let go. 'This is valuable writing. It has immense vitality. You will encounter a female narrator whose direct and bright-eyed stare at the world, and her self, is without shame or faux modesty.At the same time, it is also a deep study of existence, at various ages and stages in life.' — Deborah Levy

Ghost stories reached the height of popularity in the late nineteenth century and this collection offers a fine selection of ghostly tales from that time. Many of the contributors are amongst the most famous writers in the English language led by the master of the genre, M. R. James.

Rudyard Kipling in ‘The Phantom Rickshaw’ and Charles Dickens in ‘The Signalman’ expertly twist their protagonists’ emotions, creating fear and dread.Mary Elizabeth Braddon and E. Nesbit aim for downright terror in their tales ‘The Shadow in the Corner’ and ‘Man-Size in Marble’ and there’s even room for some spooky humour with Saki’s tale, ‘Laura’. With tales of revenge, supernatural malevolence and ghostly goings on, this anthology is full of expertly crafted and terrifying ghost stories.This series of gorgeous pocket-sized paperbacks from Macmilan Collector's Library celebrates the very best Gothic and horror literature, teeming with monsters, misfits and ghosts.

Art meets food in this sublime celebration of thirty years of cooking and hosting at The Arniano Painting School in Tuscany 'A peculiar attribute of the landscape surrounding Arniano is the ever-changing light. Early in the morning, there is an extraordinary mist that sits in the valley and interweaves through the hills, allowing just the tops to show above the smoky clouds. These changes bring with them new moods and shadows, drawing our painters to different views and areas of the garden throughout the day. By the evening, everything has altered again, and there are often intense sunsets, bringing silhouettes from the trees and much darker, richer, olive colours.' There are many farmhouses in Tuscany, but few are quite so magical as Arniano. It is here, in this 18th-century podere, that Amber Guinness grew up and learned to cook. And it is here that she established The Arniano Painting School, a residential painting course and immersive art and food experience. 'As I look through the recipes and think about the common thread that binds them, I realise that they all exemplify a fundamental principle of Italian home cooking. Which is that simplicity - and keeping ingredients as close to their original form as possible - leads to the most delicious and rewarding food. The beauty of Italian cooking is that it is not about fancy sauces or preparation techniques. Rather, it is about bringing out the best in what you are cooking, through patience, constant tasting and the development of flavour - sometimes using nothing but some olive oil and salt.' Filled with recipes for classic dishes and cocktails, feast curation, seasonal menu suggestions and notes on an Italian pantry and wines, A House Party in Tuscany will transport you to the Tuscan countryside and bring the conviviality of Arniano to your table.

Elloren Gardnerová je vnučkou poslední Černé čarodějky z proroctví, které se podařilo odrazit nepřátelské síly a zachránit Gardneriány během Říšské války. Elloren sice vypadá, jako kdyby své slavné babičce z oka vypadla, ale na rozdíl od ní nemá žádné magické schopnosti, kterých si její lidé cení nade vše. Když se Elloren naskytne příležitost uskutečnit svůj celoživotní sen stát se apatykářkou, připojí se ke svým bratrům na prestižní Verpaciánské univerzitě, vezme osud do vlastních rukou a pokusí se vystoupit ze stínu své babičky. Brzy však zjistí, že univerzita, která přijímá etnicky různorodé studenty (včetně ohnivých, okřídlených ikaralů, zapřisáhlých nepřátel Gardneriánů), je pro vnučku Černé čarodějky nebezpečným místem. S temnotou na obzoru a pod rostoucím tlakem své rodiny splnit jejich očekávání musí Elloren čelit vlastním pochybám a rozpadu všeho, co doposud znala. Naději na přežití nachází nečekaně mezi těmi nejopovrhovanějšími… ale nejdříve musí najít odvahu důvěřovat těm, které ji učili nenávidět a kterých se měla bát. „MUSÍM TI NĚCO DÁT,“ zašeptá Sage, a pak třesoucí se rukou sáhne pro něco do kabátu. Vytáhne dlouhou bílou hůlku s překrásně vyřezávanou rukojetí a bílou špičkou, která mi připomíná křídla těch velkých ptáků. Strká mi hůlku do ruky, doslova mi ji vnucuje. „Prosím. Už nemám moc času! Musím ti ji předat. Chce jít za tebou.“ „Co tím myslíš, že chce jít za mnou?“ zeptám se nechápavě. „Kde jsi ji vůbec vzala, Sage?“ „Prostě si ji vezmi!“ Trvá si na svém. „Je neskutečně mocná. Je to Bílá hůlka. A ty nesmíš dovolit, aby se jim dostala do rukou!“

An urgent, hopeful, and unapologetically radical new book about consent, democracy, desire and the future of sexual politics from award-winning writer Laurie Penny. This is a story about how modern masculinity is killing the world, and how feminism can save it. It's a story about sex and power and trauma and resistance and persistence.Sex and gender are changing, and the world is changing with them. In this time of crisis, we are also witnessing a productive transformation: a revolutionary change in how we define gender, sex, consent and whose bodies matter.This sexual revolution is a threat to the social and economic order. It undermines the existing power structures and weakens the authority of institutions from the waged workplace to the nuclear family. No wonder the far right is fighting back so hard.Told with Laurie Penny's trademark urgency and candour, Sexual Revolution is a hand-grenade of a book: both a manifesto for social change and a story of how feminism can save us.
