Virginia Woolfová patří k literárním ikonám dvacátého století: málokdo měl na vývoj moderní prózy větší vliv než ona. Proč tomu tak je, ukazuje výmluvně přední britská kulturní historička Alexandra Harrisová. Její nové biografii Virginie Woolfové se v anglofonních zemích dostalo nadšeného kritického přijetí i mimořádného čtenářského ohlasu, zejména díky autorčině schopnosti barvitě a srozumitelně vykreslit Woolfové život i dobu a skrze živý detail přiblížit její geniální literární dílo. Těm, kdož Woolfovou neznají, nabízí Alexandra Harrisová čtivý úvod do spisovatelčina díla, znalcům modernistické spisovatelky pak neotřelé a novátorské interpretace jejích velkých děl, založené na důkladné znalosti předmětu. Alexandra Harrisová (1981) vystudovala anglistiku na Oxfordu; v současnosti přednáší na University of Liverpool. Kritická biografie Virginie Woolfové je její druhou knihou; její literárněhistorický debut Romantic Moderns získal řadu ocenění, mj. prestižní cenu The Guardian First Book Award za rok 2010.

Jak se dcera dvou přistěhovalců v Kalifornii vypracovala na první viceprezidentku Spojených států amerických? Vlastní cestou. Kamalu Harrisovou a její mladší sestru vychovala svobodná matka, praktická odbornice na rakovinu, která jako devatenáctiletá emigrovala z Indie za lepším vzděláním. S Kamaliným otcem, špičkovým profesorem ekonomiky pocházejícím z Jamajky, se rozešla, když bylo Kamale jen pět let. Kamala zdědila po obou rodičích smysl pro sociální spravedlnost, po matce pak pracovní nasazení, cit pro detail, a především talent dokázat nemožné. Po skromných začátcích v Oaklandu a následném aktivistickém období na Howardově univerzitě z ní vyrostla nezdolná, pohotová, chápavá a precizní žena - obávaná prokurátorka vyhlášená svými jízlivými průpovídkami a politička schopná šikovně zvládat rozpolcenou kalifornskou politickou kulturu. To vše zachytil zkušený novinář Dan Morain, jenž sledoval život Kamaly Harrisové celých pětadvacet let, během nichž se zabýval situací v Kalifornii. Nyní předkládá první podrobný a čtivý popis Kamaliny nevšední profesní dráhy. Zároveň autor průběžně ukazuje, co Harrisová dělá, když se nikdo nedívá: zamilovává se v pozdním věku, stává se nevlastní matkou a stará se o málo známé členy své dlouholeté neformální politické rodiny, která vždycky věděla, že její osobitý styl ji vynese až na vrchol.

Gabrielle Harrisová vyrostla v rodině zvěrolékaře a posledních 25 let působila jako trenérka mořských savců, koní i psů v celé řadě zemí. Přestože strávila mezi zvířaty prakticky celý svůj život, její cesta k pochopení, jak se zvířaty komunikovat a navazovat s nimi vztahy, nebyla vůbec jednoduchá. V knize Dotknout se zvířecí duše shrnula své zkušenosti, dojmy a především konkrétní zážitky se zvířaty, které formovaly její přístup k trénování a výcviku. Podle Gabby musíme zvířata poznávat nejen hlavou, ale i srdcem. Nestačí je jen pozorovat, učit se a mít otevřenou mysl - musíme také přestat být zahledění sami do sebe a při komunikaci musíme zvířatům poskytnout jasnou a upřímnou zpětnou vazbu, která jim umožní ovlivnit směr, kterým se bude ubírat náš vzájemný vztah. Jen tak může být naše soužití smysluplné a oboustranně naplňující. O tom, jak toho dosáhnout, jakých chyb se vyvarovat a jak se naladit na tu správnou vlnu porozumění, se dočtete v její knize.

Bývalý diplomat a autor mnoha odborných publikací o mezinárodních vztazích a politice Robert D. Blackwill a bývalá poradkyně Hillary Clintonové pro záležitosti ekonomické zahraniční politiky Jennifer M. Harrisová ve své knize ukazují, že Spojené státy, tato nejsilnější ekonomika světa, při dosahování svých geopolitických cílů postupně začaly stále více opomíjet ekonomické nástroje a začaly se více uchylovat k užití ozbrojené síly a dalších prostředků. Dokládají, proč geoekonomika přestala být po druhé světové válce ve Spojených státech jedním z významných prvků zahraniční politiky a jaké důsledky to v situaci, kdy se na mezinárodní politické scéně vynořují nové mocnosti, jež pro dosahování cílů zahraniční politiky efektivně využívají široké spektrum ekonomických nástrojů, může v globalizovaném světě mít. Autoři ve své knize analyzují potenciál a reálné možnosti využívání ekonomických nástrojů k naplňování geopolitických cílů a přinášejí mnoho příkladů jejich úspěšného užití vládami zemí, jako jsou Čína, Indie, Rusko a další. Tato erudovaně, čtivě a srozumitelně napsaná publikace přináší cenné, do širokého sociálního kontextu zasazené poznatky z oblasti politické ekonomie, mezinárodních vztahů a geopolitiky.

When dehumanisation and destruction become the norm, the cycle must be broken. For over twenty years, Ittay Flescher has worked as an educator, journalist and peacebuilder in Melbourne and Jerusalem. When he woke up on the morning of October 7, 2023 to the sounds of rocket sirens over Jerusalem and later saw the devastation of Gaza in response, the grief and sadness that engulfed him - and so many others - compelled him to ask: how can we find a way forward?Following years spent facilitating dialogue between Jews, Muslims and Christians, Ittay believes that peace can only be found if we are willing to empathise with the pain of others.The Holy and the Broken challenges Palestinian and Israeli leaders, citizens and their supporters across the world to imagine a different reality; to look at history with a different eye; and to search for moments of engagement rather than resentment in the narratives of the past that each side tells about itself.Ultimately, it is a story that aims to comfort the troubled and trouble the comfortable.Praise:''Courageous and considered. Ittay nurtures the tender, fragile shoots of peace. The world could do with more people like him'' Paul Kelly, Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist''A book of rare insight and compassion, The Holy and the Broken offers the one thing we thought we''d lost after October 7: a glimmer of hope for meaningful lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians'' Bram Presser, author of The Book of Dirt''This is a thoughtful and thought-provoking book, heartfelt and honest. You do not need to agree with everything Flesher has to say to find the book moving and challenging'' Michael Gawenda, former editor in chief, The Age''This ability to empathise with the suffering on both sides is a core value of Flescher''s reconciliation work, and the underpinning to many of the options he outlines'' Dr Anne Sarzin, Jwire''As challenging and as contemporary as it is compassionate. In a world broken by war and polarisation, Ittay offers peaceful possibilities and nuanced perspectives'' Rabbi Ralph Genende OAM, author of Living in an Upside-down World''The Holy and the Broken breaks new ground. Yet what makes it truly singular is its consistent humanity, and its centring of ordinary Israelis and Palestinians'' John Lyndon, executive director, Alliance for Middle East Peace ''This account of the writer''s devotion to peacebuilding in our war-torn region is a shining testament to what can and should be done by those who can imagine a future peace. It lights a candle in an age of darkness!'' Sari Nusseibeh, author of Once Upon a Country: A Palestinian Life''When you finish it, you will not only know more about what''s happening between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, but you will also know more about yourself'' Maoz Inon, Israeli peacemaker and social entrepreneur''A powerful testament to the possibilities of reconciliation and mutual empathy during conflict, what sets this book apart is its commitment to showcasing the experiences of the diverse individuals involved - especially the integral, yet frequently overlooked, stories of women. By highlighting the gender dynamics at play, Flescher enriches our understanding of the conflict and underscores the importance of supporting a world where more voices are heard and valued'' Sheila Katz, CEO, National Council of Jewish Women''When I picked this book up, I erroneously believed I already "understood" much about the ongoing, collective trauma of Palestinians and Israelis. But this thoughtful and deeply compassionate book shattered that illusion. By the time I put the book down, I was not the same person'' Miriam Anzovin, creator of Daf Reactions and Jewish Lore Reactions

The notebook is also a farewell to the bar and to his fellow drinkers. After writing the final words, Broken Glass will go down to the River Tchinouka and throw himself into its murky waters, where his lamented mother also drowned.Broken Glass is a Congolese riff on European classics from the most notable Francophone African writer of his generation.

Strhující osobní zpověď o děsivém utrpení. Přežila jsem varšavské ghetto, plynové komory v Majdanku, hrůzu Osvětimi i totální beznaděj Bergen-Belsenu. Ztratila jsem rodiče, bratry, sestry, jejich životní partnery a děti… Ale pro mě, i když je to nenormální, to není výjimečné. To, že jsem mohla dál milovat, mluvit, psát, jíst toasty, pít čaj a žít svůj život, je výjimečné. Příběh Elly Blumenthalové je hluboce dojemným a inspirativním svědectvím o přežití holocaustu a následném nalezení radosti v životě. Jak sama říká, to, že dokázala dál milovat, mluvit, psát, jíst toasty, pít čaj a žít svůj život, je pro ni daleko výjimečnější než samotné utrpení, které prožila v varšavském ghettu, plynových komorách Majdanku, hrůze Osvětimi a beznaději Bergen-Belsenu, kde ztratila celou svou rodinu. Její cesta z plamenů nacistických táborů, přes Polsko, Paříž, Palestinu a nakonec do Kapského Města v Jižní Africe, je skutečně herkulovským výkonem. Ella se z uprchlice bez státní příslušnosti stala pilířem komunity. I přes stín hanby a traumatu, které po válce prožívalo tolik přeživších, si dokázala vytvořit šťastný domov, kde jen málokdo znal plný rozsah jejího utrpení. Po desetiletích ticha je Ella konečně připravena podělit se o svůj příběh. Autorka bestsellerů Joanne Jowellová mistrně uspořádala její vzpomínky do poutavé knihy. Díky pronikavým postřehům, hluboké reflexi a pečlivé pozornosti k historickým detailům získá čtenář pocit, jako by se s Ellou setkal osobně.
