The French Run - Paul Anness

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 ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Volunteering in the United Kingdom - John Mohan

Substantial claims are made about the extent and impacts of volunteering, often characterised by limited engagement with research evidence. Volunteering is highly stratified, so whether it can bridge social divisions in an unequal society is questionable. Volunteering may have some benefits for individuals and communities, but these impacts are often marginal; volunteering is not a treatment that can be prescribed with certainty. There is certainly a strong ‘spirit of service’ evident in the British population, but it requires considerable faith to believe that it can be extended to all. This book provides a comprehensive and original overview of evidence about the patterns and impacts of volunteering, underpinning a novel, but sceptical, assessment of the contributions of voluntary action to British society.

Helen Fielding's first Bridget Jones novel, Bridget Jones's Diary, sparked a phenomenon that has seen four books, newspaper columns and the smash-hit film series Bridget Jones's Diary, The Edge of Reason, Bridget Jones's Baby and Mad About the Boy.

Deník Bridget Jonesové - Helen Fielding - audiokniha

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.

Cultivating Perception Through Artworks - Helen A. Fielding

What are the ethical, political and cultural consequences of forgetting how to trust our senses? How can artworks help us see, sense, think, and interact in ways that are outside of the systems of convention and order that frame so much of our lives? In Cultivating Perception through Artworks, Helen Fielding challenges us to think alongside and according to artworks, cultivating a perception of what is really there and being expressed by them. Drawing from and expanding on the work of philosophers such as Luce Irigaray and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Fielding urges us to trust our senses and engage relationally with works of art in the here and now rather than distancing and systematizing them as aesthetic objects. Cultivating Perception through Artworks examines examples as diverse as a Rembrandt painting, M. NourbeSe Philip's poetry, and Louise Bourgeois' public sculpture, to demonstrate how artworks enact ethics, politics, or culture. By engaging with different art forms and discovering the unique way that each opens us to the world in a new and unexpected ways, Fielding reveals the importance of our moral, political, and cultural lives.

Tom Jones - Henry Fielding

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.

Joseph Andrews and Shamela - Henry Fielding

'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.

Kniha - autor Helen Fieldingová, 304 stran, česky, pevná s přebalem lesklá Vtipné pokračování příběhů zmatené třicátnice, hlavní hrdinky knihy Deník Bridget Jones, která si získala celosvětovou oblibu. Bridget se nedaří udržet si harmonický vztah s Markem Darcym a to nejen proto, že se kolem něj až příliš často motá dlouhonohá mrcha Rebecca. I díky řadě nedorozumění a trapných situací, na něž má Bridget talent, dojde k jejich nekolikaměsíčnímu odloučení. Bridget si brzy uvědomí, že utápět smutek v ranních cappuccinech a hledat pomoc v příručkách typu Co chtějí muži? nebo Emoční sebedůvěra asi nebude to pravé ořechové. Se svou kamarádkou Shazz se proto vydá na exotickou cestu po thajských plážích, kterou si prodlouží o dobrodružný pobyt v místním vězení. Jen jediný člověk ji z takové situace dokáže dostat…
