A coming-of-age story set in the early 1960s between the working-class East End of London and bucolic rural France; two lads find themselves on the run and in the unexpected world of the classic French novel Le Grand Meaulnes. A love of literature, swearing and smoking combine in this witty, rude and beautifully lyrical rites-of-passage novel It started on our last ever day of school. When the teacher called out “Please stop writing,” we got up from the final exam with the rest of the class and walked across the road to the pub to celebrate, still in our uniforms; two book-loving boys from the East End of London with an uncertain future. Of course, that’s when it all went wrong. We got dragged into a fight with some hooligans from another school; a weapon was pulled, a lad was injured, but nobody saw how badly because we panicked and ran before the police could arrive. We’d already arranged a secret trip to France; the bags were packed, we’d got our passports and francs, and the Morris Minor was ready to go. So, we made a dash for it, worrying about the boy on the pub floor, anxious about the police pursuing us. We got to the ferry and crossed the channel. There was a very nervous road trip, driving south with pork pies and fondant fancies, looking over our shoulders for the gendarmes, disrespecting Ernest Hemingway, smoking, which we all did in those days, and singing along with The Beatles on the radio. Please Please Me. When we finally reached Cousin Jean’s farm, it turned out he was trying to launch a mad make-or-break entertainment business based on the fabulous French coming-of-age story, Le Grand Meaulnes. So, it was agreed we could hide out with him, but only if we joined his magical circus as actors in the Harlequinade. And that’s where the story really began…

Audiokniha: Bridget je svobodná třicátnice, která by – asi jako každý – ráda našla pravou lásku. Jen si musí dát pozor na určité typy mužů: alkoholiky, workoholiky, chorobné dlužníky, muže, co mají přítelkyni nebo jsou ženatí, misogyny, megalomany, šovinisty, citové vyděrače, parazity a zvrhlíky. Do toho je talent na trapasy, pochybuje o svém vzhledu a se svými konfrontacemi s opačným pohlavím či s hříchy proti zdravému životnímu stylu (Budu pít méně než čtrnáct skleniček alkoholu týdně. Přestanu kouřit.) se svěřuje svému deníčku. Hlavně je s ní ale velká legrace! Deník Bridget Jonesové čte Martina Hudečková, která mimo jiné proslula právě českým dabingem této nezapomenutelné postavy ve filmových adaptacích. „Fieldingová dokázala stvořit postavu, se kterou se mohou ztotožnit ženy z celého světa. Jejím prostřednictvím poukázala na trampoty, s nimiž se všechny musí každodenně poprat, neopomněla je však popsat s notnou dávkou humoru a sebeironie.“ ‒ klubknihomolu.cz „S postavou Bridget Jonesové se ztotožnilo mnoho žen kolem třicítky, které byly nezadané a k nimž jsem ve své době patřila i já. Zejména v těch jejích trapasech se může v jistém rozpoložení vidět téměř každý.“ ‒ Martina Hudečková, interpretka audioknihy Copyrights: Audiokniha (P) © OneHotBook, 2016. Všechna práva vyhrazena.

Fielding s comic masterpiece of 1749 was immediately attacked as `A motley history of bastardism, fornication, and adultery . Indeed, his populous novel overflows with a marvellous assortment of prudes, whores, libertines, bumpkins, misanthropes, hypocrites, scoundrels, virgins, and all too fallible humanitarians. At the centre of one of the most ingenious plots in English fiction stands a hero whose actions were, in 1749, as shocking as they are funny today.Expelled from Mr Allworthy s country estate for his wild temper and sexual conquests, the good-hearted foundling Tom Jones loses his money, joins the army, and pursues his beloved across Britain to London, where he becomes a kept lover and confronts the possibility of incest. Tom Jones is rightly regarded as Fielding s greatest work, and one of the first and most influential of English novels. This carefully modernized edition is based on Fielding s emended fourth edition text and offers the most thorough notes, maps, and bibliography.The introduction uses the latest scholarship to examine how Tom Jones exemplifies the role of the novel in the emerging eighteenth-century public sphere. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Pátý román Helen Oyeyemi je dosavadním vrcholem autorčiny tvorby. Obsahuje vše, co se stalo pro autorku charakteristické a co jí vyneslo zařazení na prestižní seznam nejlepších mladých prozaiků, který zveřejňuje vlivný britský časopis Granta. Práce s pohádkami, mýty, kulturními aluzemi, neustálé prostupování skutečnosti a fikce i náhlé zvraty, to vše najdeme v příběhu dívky jménem Boy. Ta vyrůstá bez matky v rodině krysaře, který na rozdíl od mytického krysaře z německé legendy lidi nepřitahuje, ale odpuzuje. I Boy od něj prchá a protlouká se Amerikou padesátých let, až nakonec skončí v náručí vdovce, jenž je otcem dívky jménem Snow. Oyeyemi na tomto trojúhelníkovém půdorysu rozehrává pro ni typickou hru, kdy nic není tím, čím se zdá být a kdy čtenáře čeká na každém rohu překvapení. Dívka jménem Boy je kniha čtivá, vtipná a bohatá nejen na četné aluze. Helen Oyeyemi Helen Oyeyemi patří navzdory svému mládí mezi nejuznávanější současné britské prozaičky. Je autorkou pěti románů, z nichž první napsala ještě na střední škole a během studií politologie v Cambridge slavila úspěch se dvěma hrami, které posléze vyšly knižně. Již od prvního románu The Icarus Girl její tvorbu charakterizuje zájem o legendy, mýty a fantastickou imaginaci. Druhý román The Opposite House (Protější dům, 2007) je silně inspirován kubánskou mytologií, následující dílo White is for Witching (Bílá je barva čarodějnic, 2009) skládá hold Edgaru Allanu Poeovi (za tento román získala autorka Cenu Somerseta Maughama). V roce 2011 vydala román Mr Fox (Pan Fox) a o tři roky později svou kriticky patrně nejúspěšnější knihu Dívka jménem Boy. Helen Oyeyemi žije v Praze.

I beg as soon as you get Fielding s Joseph Andrews, I fear in Ridicule of your Pamela and of Virtue in the Notion of Don Quixote s Manner, you would send it to me by the very first Coach. (George Cheyne in a letter to Samuel Richardson, February 1742) Both Joseph Andrews (1742) and Shamela (1741) were prompted by the success of Richardson s Pamela (1740), of which Shamela is a splendidly bawdy parody. But in Shamela Fielding also demonstrates his concern for the corruption of contemporary society, politics, religion, morality, and taste. The same themes - together with a presentation of love as charity, as friendship, and in its sexual taste - are present in Joseph Andrews, Fielding sfirst novel.It is a work of considerable literary sophistication and satirical verve, but its appeal lies also in its spirit of comic affirmation, epitomized in the celebrated character of Parson Adams. This revised and expanded edition follows the text of Joseph Andrews established by Martin C. Battestin for the definitive Wesleyan Edition of Fielding s works.The text of Shamela is based on the first edition, and two substantial appendices reprint the preliminary matter from Conyers Middleton s Life of Cicero and the second edition of Richardson s Pamela (both closely parodied in Shamela). A new introduction by Thomas Keymer situates Fielding sworks in their critical and historical contexts.

A New York Times Best New Historical Novel of 2021 Potent... fast-paced... - The New York Times Book Review Wonderfully imagined and wonderfully written . . . Superb! -- Lee ChildPart Wolf Hall, part The Name of the Rose, a riveting new literary thriller set in Restoration London, with a cast of real historic figures, set against the actual historic events and intrigues of the returned king and his court … The City of London, 1678. New Year’s Day. Twelve years have passed since the Great Fire ripped through the City. Eighteen since the fall of Oliver Cromwell and the restoration of a King. London is gripped by hysteria, and rumors of Catholic plots and sinister foreign assassins abound. When the body of a young boy drained of his blood is discovered on the snowy bank of the Fleet River, Robert Hooke, the Curator of Experiments at the just-formed Royal Society for Improving Natural Knowledge, and his assistant Harry Hunt, are called in to explain such a ghastly finding—and whether it s part of a plot against the king. They soon learn it is not the first bloodless boy to have been discovered. Meanwhile, that same morning Henry Oldenburg, the Secretary of the Royal Society, blows his brains out, and a disgraced Earl is released from the Tower of London, bent on revenge against the King, Charles II. Wary of the political hornet’s nest they are walking into – and using scientific evidence rather than paranoia in their pursuit of truth – Hooke and Hunt must discover why the boy was murdered, and why his blood was taken. The Bloodless Boy is an absorbing literary thriller that introduces two new indelible heroes to historical crime fiction. It is also a powerfully atmospheric recreation of the darkest corners of Restoration London, where the Court and the underworld seem to merge, even as the light of scientific inquiry is starting to emerge …

Is lower bone density an inescapable price even young people must pay for choosing plant foods?Dr. Laura Kelly, a specialist in precision medicine for bone health, hears these questions from patients and colleagues who cite studies showing that as a group, vegetarians and vegans can have lower bone density than do people who eat animal food. In The Healthy Bones Plant-Based Nutrition Plan and Cookbook, Dr. Kelly puts these questions to rest, offering readers the same expert guidance she provides to her patients who are on a plant-forward or vegetarian diet, ensuring they have a plan to meet their nutritional needs for healthy bones or working toward reversal of bone loss.

The new sciences of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics allow practitioners to understand how a patient⠙s genetic profile contributes to bone density and how detailed nutrient and food prescriptions can either prevent or treat osteoporosis in an elegant and efficient way.The reasons why bone strength and density decline with age, and the type of nutrient interventions that can help restore turnover balance.How to meet and overcome the challenges to nutrient bioavailability posed by choosing a fully plant-based life.A discussion of the A to Z of bioavailability of nutrients most important for bone health, from calcium to Vitamin K2, and how to release the nutrients in plant foods from the antinutrients that can lock them in undigestible forms.Over 100 recipes created by gifted vegetarian chef Jummee Park that feature delicious and diverse combinations of vegetables, fruits, grains, mushrooms, nuts, beans, seeds, edible flowers, and spices.Tips on establishing a pantry and several example meal plans.How to use an online nutrition calculator to craft your own delicious plant combinations that supply needed amounts of complete protein, iron, and vitamins A and B12 for whole nutrition. The Healthy Bones Plant-Based Nutrition Plan and Cookbook is a unique nutritional guide and cookbook that can help both women and men of any age maintain optimal bone density and prevent osteoporosis on a plant-based, vegetarian, or vegan diet.

Longlisted for the 2022 Runciman AwardFew classical stories are as exciting as that of Jason and the Golden Fleece. The legend of the boy, who discovers a new identity as son of a usurped king and leads a crew of demi-gods and famous heroes, has resonated through the ages, rumbling like the clashing rocks, which almost pulverised the Argo. The myth and its reception inspires endless engagements: while it tells of a quest to the ends of the earth, of the tyrants Pelias and Aetes, of dragons teeth, of the loss of Hylas (beloved of Hercules) stolen away by nymphs, and of Jason s seduction of the powerful witch Medea (later betrayed for a more useful princess), it speaks to us of more: of gender and sexuality; of heroism and lost integrity; of powerful gods and terrifying monsters; of identity and otherness; of exploration and exploitation. The Argonauts are emblems of collective heroism, yet also of the emptiness of glory. From Pindar to J. W. Waterhouse, Apollonius of Rhodes to Ray Harryhausen, and Robert Graves to Mary Zimmerman, the Argonaut myth has produced later interpretations as rich, salty and complex as the ancient versions. Helen Lovatt here unravels, like untangled sea-kelp, the diverse strands of the narrative and its numerous and fascinating afterlives. Her book will prove both informative and endlessly entertaining to those who love classical literature and myth.

I know of no one better qualified to understand what young people are facing today - Philippa Perry There are epidemic rates of ADHD, depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide in young people. The conventional medical model wants to put a plaster on the problems with medication and CBT, but we, as parents, need to dig deeper. We need to face the fact that it is not our child s fault, but the world we are bringing them up in and that we play a key role in how they see this world. Bringing together years of work helping children and the child inside us all, acclaimed psychotherapist, Louis Weinstock, will show us how. Split into two parts, and blending mindfulness, meditation and visualisation, we are taken on a journey that starts with exploring our own fears and weaknesses, and ends joyfully in practical ways we can help build confidence, courage and authentic hope about the future in our children. The power lies within each of us to create with, and for, our children a more beautiful world right now - a world where they realise their almost infinite potential.
