Explore the life-changing practice of anapanasati, or breathing mindfulness—one of the most popular and foundational Buddhist meditation practices.Breathing mindfulness meditation is a cornerstone of Buddhist practice, believed to be key to the Buddha''s own enlightenment. This powerful technique fosters a harmonious blend of awareness and tranquility, guiding practitioners towards profound meditative states and deeper wisdom. Sarah Shaw guides readers through the history and contemporary interpretations of breathing mindfulness in the Pali or Southern tradition of Buddhism. In this in-depth study, she examines:The Anapanasati Sutta, the foundational Buddhist text on breathing mindfulness; The systematization of the practice through the commentarial texts like Vimuttimagga (The Path to Freedom) and Visuddhimagga (The Path of Purification); Intriguing, lesser-known systems of esoteric Theravada breath meditation nearly lost to history; The integration of breath meditation into modern spiritual practices; The importance of breath meditation to the insight meditation (vipassana) movement; And the influence of breathing mindfulness across diverse spiritual paths. Shaw''s exploration reveals the enduring legacy of this practice, from its ancient origins to its contemporary resurgence.

A few moments after birth we begin to use our lungs for the first time. From then on, we must continue breathing for as long as we are alive. And although this mostly happens unconsciously, in a society plagued by anxiety, climate change, environmental racism, and illness, there are more and more instances that ''teach us about the privilege that is breathing.'' Why do we so easily forget the air that we breathe in common? What does it mean to breathe when the environment that sustains life now threatens it? And how can life continue to flourish under conditions that are increasingly toxic? To approach these questions, Jamieson Webster draws on psychoanalytic theory and reflects on her own experiences as an asthmatic teenager, a deep-sea diver, a palliative psychologist during covid, a psychoanalyst attentive to the somatic, and a new mother. The result is a compassionate and timely exploration of air and breathing as a way to undo the pervasive myth of the individual by considering our dependence on invisible systems, on one another, and the way we have violently neglected this important aspect of life.

Po dvaceti pěti letech vychází zcela nový překlad deníku Anne Frankové. Poprvé v češtině s názvem, který svému dílu zamýšlela dát sama jeho autorka. Deník v dopisech si Anne Franková vedla od 12. června 1942 do 1. srpna 1944. Psala si ho jen pro sebe až do chvíle, kdy na jaře 1944 vyslechla z vysílání londýnského Rádia Oranje projev nizozemského exilového ministra školství. Vyzýval, aby lidé po skončení války shromáždili a zveřejnili všechna svědectví o utrpení nizozemského lidu za německé okupace. Jako příklad uvedl mimo jiné deníky. Pod dojmem tohoto projevu se Anne Franková rozhodla, že po válce vydá knihu. Základem k ní měl být její deník. Anne si k tomu 29. března 1944 zapsala: Milá Kitty, včera večer mluvil v Rádiu Oranje ministr Bolkestein o tom, že po válce bude uspořádána sbírka deníků a dopisů z téhle války. Samozřejmě se hned všichni vrhli na můj deník. Vždyť si představ, jak zajímavé by bylo, kdybych vydala román Zadní dům. Už jenom z titulu by lidé měli dojem, že je to detektivka. Od května 1944 začala deník přepracovávat a přepisovat, zanášela do něj opravy, vynechávala pasáže, které nepovažovala za dostatečně zajímavé, a jiné po paměti připisovala. Současně pokračovala v psaní původního deníku (badatelé ho později nazvali verze A - na rozdíl od přepracovaného deníku, který se označuje jako verze B). Poslední zápis Anne Frankové je z 1. srpna 1944. Již 4. srpna všech osm obyvatel úkrytu zatkla tzv. zelená policie. Pomocnice ve skrývání Miep Giesová s Bep Voskuijlovou Anniny zápisky hned v den zatčení odnesly do bezpečí. Miep Giesová je uložila v zásuvce svého psacího stolu, a až když se potvrdilo, že Anne věznění v koncentračním táboře nepřežila, předala je, aniž je četla, Anninu otci Ottovi Frankovi. Otto Frank se po zralé úvaze rozhodl, že splní přání své zemřelé dcery a zápisky vydá knižně. Za tím účelem sestavil z obou Anniných verzí, původní (verze A) a vlastnoručně přepracované (verze B), zkrácenou třetí verzi (C). Aktuálně po celém světě vydávanou, autorizovanou verzi připravila z pověření basilejského Fondu Anne Frankové německá spisovatelka a překladatelka Mirjam Presslerová. Převzala Frankův výběr záznamů z verze C a doplnila jej pasážemi z deníkových verzí A a B. Nový, celkem už třetí překlad deníku do češtiny, pořídila Magda de Bruin Hüblová. Vrací se k názvu, jejž si Anne pro svoji zamýšlenou knihu přála a s nímž vychází deník v nizozemštině. Ke svému pojetí překladu napsala Magda de Bruin Hüblová: "K deníku Anne Frankové lze při překládání přistupovat dvěma způsoby: jako k dokumentu, což vyžaduje co nejpřesnější překlad, nebo jako k literárnímu dílu, což umožňuje jisté uhlazení textu s ohledem na mladé čtenáře. Protože se nový překlad má stát součástí souborného vydání díla Anne Frankové, v němž poprvé v češtině vyjdou i autentické, ,neučesané‘ verze A a B, přiklonila jsem se k první možnosti. Můj překlad tak zachovává víc než předchozí české překlady zvláštnosti předlohy." Annelies Marie FRANKOVÁ (12. června 1929 - únor 1945) v roce 1933 s rodiči a starší sestrou Margot emigrovala z Německa do Amsterodamu. Od července 1942 se tu rodina skrývala v zadní části domu, který patřil otcově firmě, aby unikla pronásledování Židů. Dospívající Anne si psala od 12. června 1942 až do prozrazení úkrytu na začátku srpna 1944 deník. Po zatčení byla rodina deportována do koncentračních táborů v Německu a na území dnešního Polska, přežil jen otec. Anne zahynula v Bergen-Belsenu. Po válce otec Annin deník vydal, byl přeložen do mnoha jazyků, zdramatizován a zfilmován. Toto vydání přináší nový překlad do češtiny.

Audiokniha: Kompletní portrét nejbrutálnějšího sériového vraha Ameriky. Kniha spisovatelky Ann Rule, Ted Bundy, vrah po mém boku, je naprosto jedinečná ve své ohromující intimitě a popírá stejně děsivě jako v době svého vzniku naši představu, že bychom přece samozřejmě poznali, kdyby mezi námi žilo monstrum, pracovalo vedle nás a tvářilo se, že je jedním z nás. S mrazením stupňujícím se s každou další stránkou sledujeme, jak si autorka začala postupně uvědomovat, že její citlivý spolupracovník z krizové linky Ted Bundy je ve skutečnosti jedním z nejděsivějších sériových vrahů Ameriky. Bundy se doznal k zabití nejméně šestatřicet mladých žen po celých Spojených státech a za tři z těchto vražd byl nakonec odsouzen k smrti na elektrickém křesle. Autorka čerpá mimo jiné i ze své korespondence s Bundym, jež trvala až do doby krátce před jeho popravou. Daří se jí udržovat v rovnováze svůj hluboce osobní pohled na věc a svou roli kriminální reportérky při honu po brutálním sériovém vrahovi – geniálním a charismatickém Bundym, o němž si myslela, že ho zná. Touto nezapomenutelnou kronikou Bundyho života, jeho případu a jejich vzájemného vztahu, Ann Rule změnila směřování literárního žánru true crime. Autor: Ann Rule (1931 – 2015) byla oblíbená americká spisovatelka žánru true crime. Pracovala jako policistka a byla velmi vzdělaná v oborech psychologie a kriminologie. Kniha Ted Bundy, vrah po mém boku byla pro její kariéru ta nejdůležitější. V době, kdy začala na knize pracovat a sbírat informace, nebyly ještě vraždy vyřešené. V průběhu psaní vyšlo najevo, že onen sériový vrah je Bundy, její kamarád, což jí poskytlo naprosto unikátní postavení mezi autory true crime. Ann Rule obdržela dvě ceny Anthony Awards a třikrát byla nominována na Edgar Awards. Je považována za průkopnici žánru true crime, tak jak jej známe dnes.

A FRESH ACCOUNT OF TWO OF ENGLANDS BEST-KNOWN QUEENS: PERFECT FOR FANS OF WOLF HALL AND SIX THE MUSICAL Readers LOVE Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I:''A wonderful book and one I''m sure I''ll be reading again'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''This really is a triumph! . . . A lucid and fascinating account'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''So well written and meticulously researched'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐*************************Anne Boleyn is a subject of enduring fascination. By far the most famous of Henry VIII''s six wives, she has inspired books, documentaries and films, and is the subject of intense debate even today, almost 500 years after her violent death. For the most part, she is considered in the context of her relationship with Tudor England''s much-married monarch. Dramatic though this story is, of even greater interest - and significance - is the relationship between Anne and her daughter, the future Elizabeth I.Elizabeth was less than three years old when her mother was executed. Given that she could have held precious few memories of Anne, it is often assumed that her mother exerted little influence over her. But this is both inaccurate and misleading. Elizabeth knew that she had to be discreet about Anne, but there is compelling evidence that her mother exerted a profound influence on her character, beliefs and reign. Even during Henry''s lifetime, Elizabeth dared to express her sympathy for her late mother by secretly wearing Anne''s famous ''A'' pendant when she sat for a painting with her father and siblings.Piecing together evidence from original documents and artefacts, this book tells the story of Anne Boleyn''s relationship with, and influence over her daughter Elizabeth. In so doing, it sheds new light on two of the most famous and influential women in history.*****************************Critical acclaim for Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I:''(A)sensational book by one of our greatest and best-loved historians... Astoundingly good.'' - Alison Weir''Masterful, captivating, page-turning, this is solid gold history at its best.'' - Nicola Tallis''(A) thought-provoking, impeccably researched, and moving account uncovering how Anne''s family, intellect, and tragedy shaped Elizabeth I''s extraordinary career.'' - Gareth Russell''Her extensive research... reveals them as the most dazzling female double act in history.'' - Sarah Gristwood''Incredibly well-researched, elegantly written, and overall genuinely ground-breaking,'' - Estelle Paranque

Komiksové vydání světové klasiky. Annelies Marie Franková (12. června 1929 - březen 1945) v roce 1933 s rodiči uprchla z Německa do Amsterodamu, kde se rodina od roku 1942 skrývala v půdním bytě. Dospívající Anne psala od 12. června 1942 do 4. srpna 1944 deník. Po prozrazení skrýše byla rodina odvezena do koncentračních táborů v Německu, přežil jen otec. Anne zahynula v Bergen-Belsenu. Po válce otec deník vydal, byl přeložen do mnoha jazyků a zdramatizován. Významný historik Alvin Rosenveld ve své knize The End of the Holocaust (Konec holokaustu) píše, že "prostřednictvím Anne Frankové se s obdobím nacismu nejspíš seznámilo víc lidí než prostřednictvím kterékoliv jiné dobové postavy, snad jen vyjma samotného Hitlera". Rosenveld zkoumá četné faktory, které přispěly k tomu, že se z Anne Frankové stal symbol, jehož význam ani po více než sedmdesáti letech neklesl. Snad proto jsem velmi váhal, když se na mě před třemi lety obrátil Fond Anne Frankové (AFF) z Basileje, abych podle Deníku vytvořil nejen animovaný film, ale převedl ho také do grafické podoby. Hlavně představa grafického deníku mě odrazovala. Když jsem si Deník znovu přečetl - jako dospělý a otec dospívajících dětí -, zasáhl mě i okouzlil: nešlo mi do hlavy, že se třináctiletá dívka dokázala dívat na okolní svět tak zralým, poetickým a lyrickým pohledem a své postřehy převádět na tak výstižné a přemýšlivé záznamy, překypující soucitem i humorem, a projevovat přitom takovou míru sebereflexe, s jakou jsem se jen zřídka setkal u dospělých - a tím méně u dětí. Je to ikonický a jedinečný text a projekt představoval značnou výzvu: kdybychom chtěli převést do grafické podoby celý text, bez vynechání jediného slova, s úctou ke každému písmenku, které Anne napsala, vzniklo by dílo o takových 3 500 stranách a prací na něm bychom strávili dobrých deset let. A navíc by se tím nevyřešil hlavní současný problém: výrazný pokles počtu dětí, které čtou, protože většina z nich podlehla kouzlu obrazovky. Nejtěžším úkolem bylo zachovat zhruba pět procent Annina Deníku a současně se nezpronevěřit jejímu psaní. (z úvodní poznámky Ari Folmana) Český překlad tohoto grafického deníku čerpá důsledněji než anglická předloha z autentického Deníku Anne Frankové. Projevuje se to zejména v replikách (zachovávají věrněji dikci Anne Frankové, jak ji známe z překladu Miroslava Drápala a Michaely Jacobsenové), ale mnohdy i v komentáři. Tam, kde se autoři odchýlili od historických faktů v obrazovém ztvárnění, jsme byli nuceni převzít jejich verzi, aby nevznikl rozpor mezi ilustrací a textem. (Magda de Bruin Hüblová)

Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery is the author of the children's book ''Anne of Ingleside''. Toronto's McClelland and Stewart and the Frederick A. Stokes Company released it for the first time in July 1939. (New York). It is also Montgomery's last book to be published. Anne Shirley appears in 10 of these volumes. In terms of publication order, Anne of Ingleside came before Rainbow Valley. The Anne stories are also included in the short story collection of The Blythes Are Quoted, which was written in 1941/42 but wasn't released until 2009. The book's copyright in the US was extended in 1967. Anne travels to Avonlea to see Diana Wright and Anne Cordelia. She returns to the old Morgan house, now named 'Ingleside'. The book spans a period of about six years and includes adventures for each of Anne's five children as well as their aunt Mary Maria Blythe. In many of the stories, the Ingleside children are taken in by children who tell lies to seem more interesting. Gilbert has become distant from Anne, and she fears that he may no longer love her. Shirley, the third son of the Blythes, appears in the book but strangely does not receive a solo "spotlight" story of his own.

Publikace obsahuje veškeré dosud známé texty, jejichž autorkou je Anne Franková, tzn. především všechny verze deníku, dále povídky, pokus o román, dochovanou korespondenci, výpisky z oblíbených knih a tzv. knížku o Egyptě. Svazek je doplněn o bohatou fotografickou přílohu. Souborné vydání dosud vyšlo jen ve čtyřech světových jazycích (německy, nizozemsky, anglicky a francouzsky). České znění je pořízeno z nizozemského originálu, vydaného v nakladatelství Prometheus v roce 2013 (712 stran), který přeložila Magda de Bruin Hüblová. Součástí knihy jsou také tři odborné práce, jež srozumitelným způsobem vpravují zájemce do historického kontextu Annina života a života rodin, které se ukrývaly před hrozbou nacismu. Svazek rovněž obsahuje příspěvek o historii vydávání deníku a Annina díla, o ohlasech na deník i o popíračských útocích na jeho pravost, dále pak podrobný soupis literatury k tematice, který je obohacen o české prameny. Nad rámec originálu přináší české vydání vysvětlivky a postřehy z nejnovějších badatelských aktivit, jež nad texty a biografií Anne Frankové probíhají. Anne Franková je známa zejména jako autorka deníku, který psala během svého ukrývání s rodinou od června 1942 do 1. srpna 1944 v tzv. zadním domě v Amsterdamu. Tento deník a příběh Anne, její rodiny, přátel a spolupracovníků se stal symbolem odporu proti holocaustu a šířeji boje proti diskriminaci a bezpráví. Celosvětovou oblibu získal Annin deník rovněž jako svědectví o dospívání. Deník v podobě, v níž je vydáván pro široké čtenářské publikum (tzv. verze D), tvoří ovšem jen menší část Anniny písemné pozůstalosti. Téměř neznámé jsou také textologické otázky, jež jsou s tzv. čtenářským vydáním deníku spojeny. Mezi texty Anne Frankové dominují různé verze deníku. Otištění každé verze předchází podrobný popis a jsou vysvětleny časové souvislosti a důvody vzniku verzí.

Životy dvou nejlepších kamarádek se měly změnit navždy. Ani jedna z nich nebude nikdy zapomenuta... "Jako dítě jsem byla svědkem toho, jak se svět, který jsem milovala, zhroutil a zmizel, zničený nesmyslnou nenávistí, a s ním zmizela i moje nejlepší kamarádka Anne." V roce 1933 pětiletá Hannah uprchla se svou rodinou z nacistického Německa do Amsterodamu, kde brzy navázala přátelství se sobě podobnou dívkou: předčasně vyspělou, otevřenou a veselou holčičkou jménem Anne Franková. Na několik nádherných let se z nich staly nerozlučné kamarádky, které si užívaly bezstarostné dětské hry, radosti a vzájemné návštěvy ve své čtvrti Rivierenbuurt. V červnu 1942, když zesílila nacistická okupace Evropy, byly náhle od sebe bez varování odtrženy. Anne a její rodina zmizely zdánlivě beze stopy a zůstalo po nich neumyté nádobí ve dřezu a neustlané postele. Ve chvíli, kdy si Hannah lámala hlavu s tím, co se s její kamarádkou stalo, a doufala, že je Anne v pořádku, začal se rozvíjet osud její vlastní rodiny: všichni byli odvezeni do internačního tábora Westerbork, odkud byli Hannah, její otec, její mladší sestra Gabi a její prarodiče přemístěni do koncentračního tábora Bergen-Belsenu. V hrozivých podmínkách, obklopena smrtí, se Hannah dozvěděla o své kamarádce překvapivé informace. V zoufalé snaze zachránit Anne, která byla slabá a bojovala o přežití, riskovala Hannah svůj život. Hannin příběh přežití navzdory všemu je svědectvím o trvalé síle přátelství, lásky a paměti. "Hannin příběh konečně doplňuje to, co již Anne říci nemohla. Je srdceryvný a současně plný životního optimismu a jeho pravdu teď potřebujeme více než jindy." Edith Egerová, autorka bestselleru Máme na vybranou

What is it like to move to a formerly communist, Eastern Bloc country just as it is coming to know the West? How much can a new and free generation teach an outsider who is willing to watch, to listen, and to integrate? Written from the perspective of an American emigrant settling in the Czech Republic not long after the fall of communism, Czech Lessons tracks the metamorphosis of both the Czech people and their new republic over the past two decades, capturing a unique period in this humble Central European country's development. Alternating between history, humor, politics, and memoir, Jessica Kendall Hankiewicz's book of essays delves into the intangible qualities that make up both a nation and a nationality, bringing daily Czech life and culture sharply into focus. From the benefits of a social democracy to the national obsession with nature, Czech Lessons not only magnifies this small country for the world to see, but also offers up a mirror for the Czech people themselves. "Surrounded by remnants of a difficult past, faltering technology, and Czechs who couldn't help but stare at foreigners, I seemed to be taking several steps into the past, even as the country was careening forward with ambition. It was a rare opportunity to begin a relationship with the former Czechoslovakia as it slowly found its personality and its future.” Jaké to je přestěhovat se do post-komunistické země východního bloku v okamžiku, kdy se setkává se Západem? Co všechno může nové svobodné pokolení naučit člověka zvenku, který je ochoten sledovat, naslouchat a nechat se vtáhnout? Czech Lessons je kniha napsaná z perspektivy americké emigrantky, která se usazuje v České republice několik let po pádu komunismu. Autorka sleduje proměnu Čechů a jejich nově vzniklé republiky v uplynulých dvou dekádách a zachycuje jedinečné období vývoje tohoto skromného středoevropského státu. Jessica Kendall Hankiewicz napsala eseje, které se dotýkají dějin, politiky, ale rovněž osobních vzpomínek. Kniha s adekvátní kapkou humoru zkoumá nepostižitelné vlastnosti, ze kterých sestává národ a zároveň národnost, a přináší ostrý obraz české kultury i každodennosti. Širokou paletou témat, od výhod sociální demokracie až po českou zálibu v pobytu v přírodě, nejenže knížka Czech Lessons zpřítomňuje tuto malou zemi světovým čtenářům, ale také nabízí zrcadlo samotným Čechům. "Kolem jsem viděla pozůstatky komplikované minulosti, plně nerozvinuté technologie, Čechy, kteří chtě nechtě hleděli na cizince s údivem ve tváři, a připadalo mi, že kráčím zpět do minulosti, přestože se tato země ambiciózně řítí vpřed. Otevírala se přede mnou vzácná příležitost navázat vztah s někdejším Československem, které pomalu hledalo svoji povahu a svoji budoucnost."

Anne Shirley is an eleven-year-old orphan who has hung on determinedly to an optimistic spirit and a wildly creative imagination through her early deprivations. She erupts into the lives of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a girl instead of the boy they had sent for. Thus begins a story of transformation for all three; indeed the whole rural community of Avonlea comes under Anne''s influence in some way. We see her grow from a girl to a young woman of sixteen, making her mistakes, and not always learning from them. Intelligent, hot-headed as her own red hair, unwilling to take a moral truth as read until she works it out for herself, she must also face grief and loss and learn the true meaning of love. Part Tom Sawyer, part Jane Eyre, by the end of Anne of Green Gables, Anne has become the heroine of her own story.The sequel, Anne of Avonlea, follows her progress as a teacher as she seeks to put into practice the lessons she has learnt, helping at the same time to keep Green Gables going, pursuing her enduring friendships, and finding first love where she least expects it. Both books conjure an enchanting landscape of wild blossom, lakes and brooks, woods and ocean, seen through Anne’s ‘beauty-loving eyes’, whose vision of the world she brings us to share.

Through careful examination of over one hundred classic works of world literature, life lessons are also drawn from themes such as conflict and oppression, identity and psychology, showing how literature enriches and informs our understanding of ourselves and the wider world around us.From Brazil to Japan, the Americas to Africa; from Victor Hugo to Mark Twain and Chinua Achebe to Haruki Murakami, you will find literature from around the world in this gem of a book, in which the plots may differ but the themes and the lessons they have to teach us are entirely universal.

Jane Austen’s Persuasion meets the Big Apple in this swoon-worthy holiday romance from the authors of Elizabeth of East Hampton and Emma of 83rd Street.Eight years ago, Anne Elliot broke Freddie Wentworth’s heart when she refused to give up her five-year plan for the sake of adventure. But despite big dreams, Anne, now thirty, is still living at home with hardly a plan in sight. Anne tries to be optimistic—she knows better than anyone that regret will get you nowhere—but that goes out the window when, thanks to her father’s bad spending habits, her childhood apartment is rented out to the very man still living in her head rent-free. Freddie Wentworth never thought he would see Anne Elliot again after she dumped him for accepting a job overseas. He spent years trying to forget her, and he’s been mostly successful. So when a job opportunity takes him back to New York, he’s shocked to find out that Anne is not only his new neighbor, but also the former resident of his new Greenwich Village penthouse. Nearly a decade after Anne and Freddie’s fateful romance, the only thing they still have in common is a desire to leave their relationship firmly in the past. But between a disastrous off-Broadway show and a drunken Thanksgiving dinner, nosey neighbors, and flirtatious friends, Anne and Freddie suddenly find their lives more intertwined than ever before.

Her personal life riven by passion, illness and intrigue, Queen Anne presided over some of the most momentous events in British history. Like Antonia Fraser’s life of Marie Antoinette or Amanda Foreman’s ‘The Duchess’, ‘Queen Anne’ is historical biography at its best.In 1702, fourteen years after she helped oust her father from his throne and deprived her newborn half-brother of his birthright, Queen Anne inherited the crowns of England and Scotland.Childless, despite seventeen pregnancies that had all either ended in failure or produced heartrendingly short-lived children, in some respects she was a pitiable figure. But against all expectation she proved Britain’s most successful Stuart ruler.Her reign was marked by many triumphs, including union with Scotland and glorious victories in war against France. It was also marked by controversy: Anne’s close relationship with Sarah, the outspoken wife of the Duke of Marlborough, turned to rancor with Sarah’s startling claim of the Queen’s lesbian infatuation with another lady-in-waiting, Abigail Masham.Traditionally depicted as a weak ruler dominated by female favourites and haunted by remorse at having deposed her father, Queen Anne emerges as a woman whose unshakeable commitment to duty enabled her to overcome private tragedy and painful disabilities, and set her kingdom on the path to greatness.

Audiokniha: Naštěstí mám fantazii. Co asi dělají lidé, kteří ji nemají? Upovídané hubené děvčátko se zrzavými copy přijíždí na nádraží v Bright Riveru na kanadském ostrově Prince Edwarda. Co tady Anne Shirleyovou asi čeká? Dvojice stárnoucích sourozenců, kteří se rozhodli, že k sobě vezmou chlapce ze sirotčince, aby jim vypomáhal na farmě. Jenže dorazila natěšená a neústupná holčička s hlavou plnou bláznivých snů. Podaří se jí přesvědčit plachého Matthewa a praktickou Marillu, aby si ji v Zeleném domě přece jenom nechali? Bystrou myslí, přímým jednáním a nespoutanou představivostí dokáže Anne změnit život nejen sobě a svým pěstounům, ale celé vesničce Avonlea. Audioknihu opatřila původními ilustracemi malířka a výtvarnice Léna Brauner. Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) Vyrůstala na farmě u svých prarodičů v kanadském městě Cavendish na ostrově Prince Edwarda a už v devíti letech si vedla deník a psala básně. Vystudovala Prince of Wales College a získala učitelskou licenci. Poté vyučovala na různých školách, ale když v roce 1898 zemřel její dědeček, vrátila se na farmu, aby se starala o babičku. Během třinácti let, které zde strávila, se věnovala psaní a kromě kratších povídek tu vznikla i její první kniha. Rukopis však ve všech nakladatelstvích odmítli. O dva roky později obeslala nakladatele znovu a tentokrát byla úspěšnější – Anna ze Zeleného domu (Anne of Green Gables) vyšla poprvé knižně v roce 1908 a okamžitě měla obrovský úspěch. Po smrti babičky se Lucy Maud vdala a přestěhovala do Leaksdale v Ontariu, kde napsala většinu svých dalších knih (sedm pokračování životních osudů Anne, ale i další série s jiným hrdinkami jako třeba Emily of New Moon nebo Pat of Silver Bush). Anne ze Zeleného domu byla od té doby nesčetněkrát vydávána po celém světě i mnohokrát zfilmována a je považovaná za nadčasovou literární klasiku o dívčím dětství a dospívání na přelomu 19. a 20. století. Klára Sedláčková-Oltová (* 1976) Vystudovala JAMU v Brně, do Divadla v Dlouhé, v jehož souboru je stále činná, přišla na základě konkurzu. Jejím prvním hereckým partnerem v profesionálním angažmá byl Karel Roden, který ji provázel i v jejím debutu filmovém (hráli spolu v povídce Svatební košile ve filmu v Kytice). Za postavu Kristýny Fialové v Našich furiantech získala cenu za nejlepší ženský herecký výkon GRAND Festivalu smíchu v Pardubicích. Televizní diváci ji mohou znát z inscenací Draculův švagr (1996), Vřesový trůn (2006) či seriálů jako Trapasy (2007) nebo Všechny moje lásky (2015). Dále účinkovala v audioknize vydavatelství OneHotBook: Všemi dary obdarovaná (2016).

"Mount Anne je nebezpečné stvoření. Hraje si s iluzemi. Je křivým zrcadlem a nekonečnou studní. Saje brčkem z méněcennosti. Vráží pletací jehlice do hlavy. Přejíždí kůži šmirglem. Patří do rukou odborníka. Nemá co dělat u malých holčiček. Nemá se kolem nich co vometat. Manon je růže hozená do kostela. Mount Anne je spolknutý granát. Mount Anne žije ve stínech. Vidět je, až když je příliš pozdě. Dýchá v každé manipulaci, v každém posměšku. Tolik touží po pozornosti. Mount Anne je nepřítel, který dostal zbraň. Je jedna a je jich nespočet. Přenáší se slovem a obrazem. Vchází očima, ušima i ústy. Zůstává v hlavě. Staví si tam sídlo." Pozoruhodnou poému Mount Anne Ladislava Slezáka zdobí šité ilustrace Zdeňky Saletové.

K písemné pozůstalosti Anne Frankové patří také její takzvaná "Knížka povídek", o níž 7. srpna 1943 ve svém deníku píše: "Před pár týdny jsem začala psát povídku, úplně vymyšlený příběh, a tak se mi to zalíbilo, že se má psaná rodina utěšeně rozrůstá." Ani ne o měsíc později začne "psanou rodinu" přepisovat do zvláštního, velkého sešitu (vlastně do účetní knihy) v pevných deskách. Na první stránku nadepsala: "Povídky a příhody ze zadního domu, vylíčila Anne Franková"; na stejné stránce dole poznamenala: "zasvěcen: čtvrtek 2. září 1943". Jak titul napovídá, jde o dvě kategorie, totiž o "úplně vymyšlené" povídky, a o vyprávění, která popisují příhody ze života v úkrytu. Anne Franková knihu na konci opatřila obsahem, v němž také označila, do které kategorie ten který text patří. Většinu příběhů zřejmě Anne nejprve načrtla na jednotlivé listy papíru a pak teprve přepsala načisto do povídkové knížky, protože se v ní téměř nevyskytují škrtnuté pasáže nebo jiné opravy. Nejranější příběh má datum 8. prosince 1942, což je další příznak toho, že sešit obsahuje načisto přepsané dřívější verze; poslední příběh je datován 12. května 1944. Několik příběhů Anne převzala i do přepsané verze deníku (verze B), její otec Otto Frank jich pak po válce převzal ještě víc do knihy Het Achterhuis (Zadní dům), jejíž první vydání vyšlo roku 1947. Již v roce 1949 bylo zveřejněno osm Anniných povídek pod názvem Weet je nog? Verhalen en sprookjes (Vzpomínáš? Příběhy a pohádky). Značně rozšířená sbírka s názvem Verhalen rondom het Achterhuis (Příběhy o zadním domě) následovala roku 1960. První úplné vydání Anniných povídek vyšlo péčí Joke Kniesmeyerové roku 1982. Nakonec sestavil Gerrold van der Stroom v roce 2001 úplné vydání literárních pokusů založené na Anniných rukopisech a opatřil je předmluvou: Verhaaltjes, en gebeurtenissen uit het Achterhuis / Cady´s leven (Povídky, a příhody ze zadního domu / Cadyin život) (Amsterdam 20053). Pro důkladný výzkum je toto vydání tím pravým pramenem. Tvoří také základ Anniných "povídek a příhod" otištěných v této knize.

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK IS ''A MONUMENT TO THE HUMAN SPIRIT''One of the most famous accounts of living under the Nazi regime comes from the diary of a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl, Anne Frank. Edited by her father Otto H. Frank and German novelist Mirjam Pressler, this is a true story to be rediscovered by each new generation._________________________________12th July 1944: ''It''s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It''s a wonder I haven''t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.''In the summer of 1942, fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse. Aged thirteen, Anne kept a diary of her time in the secret annexe. She movingly revealed how the eight people living under these extraordinary conditions coped with hunger, the daily threat of discovery and death and isolation from the outside world. A thought-provoking record of tension and struggle, adolescence and confinement, anger and heartbreak, the diary of Anne Frank is a testament to the atrocities of the past and a promise they will never be forgotten. _________________________________ ''One of the greatest books of the century'' Guardian''Rings down the decades as the most moving testament to the persecution of innocence'' Daily Mail ''Astonishing and excruciating.
