So, as you see, I am familiar with the case. However, we can t discuss it unless you learn more about some other court cases, so that you can compare your father s trial with other, more baffling cases, and see it in the context of the madness that reigned at the time. In Ján Johanides riveting Slovak novel, you the reader are thrust in medias res, assuming the role of a silent partner in a one-sided conversation with someone you know nothing about. As the pages turn, you must grasp onto significant details to piece together who you are, who the narrator is, and why you have sought him out. As the story unfolds you come to learn that the old archivist, who can t seem to stay on point, has both a tragic history and the keys to unlocking your family s darkest secret. A secret that may or may not involve the Czechoslovak secret police, American and Soviet intelligence, Israeli politics, and a tire full of 90,000 dollars. Set after the fall of communism and the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, casual paranoia permeates the novel as it reveals how the madness of the Communist era has led to the instability of the present. Written in 1995, this haunting novel that evokes the spirit of John Le Carre and the style of Carlos Fuentes shines a searchlight on issues that plague post-Communist Europe today.

Sing But Keep On Walking moves between the islands of Mull and Iona and the hills of the West Bank and Jerusalem: places â ˜on the edgeâ ™. And, like in Palestine two thousand years ago, thatâ ™s where God comes to us, in human form, as living Word, as light out of darkness. Some images recur â “ like flocks of migrating birds or flowing water, like stories of people who work with their hands: sculptors, a carpenter, a baker. Real people, whose lives are celebrated. â ˜Iâ ™m writing amid political chaos and climate crisis,â ™ says Jan, â ˜with no easy answers â ¦ But we can speak truth to power, walk side by side, sing justice. We can live an alternative.â ™O God, you challenge us to pilgrimage,and you walk with us on those journeys we did not choose. Keep us singing: with joy, with courage, with hope. AmenJan Sutch Pickard is a storyteller and poet living on the Isle of Mull. She is a former Warden of Iona Abbey, and volunteered with the World Council of Churchesâ ™ Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme, serving on different occasions in two West Bank villages.

Often hailed as one of the best travel books ever written, Venice is neither a guide nor a history book, but a beautifully written immersion in Venetian life and character, set against the background of the city s past. Analysing the particular temperament of Venetians, as well as its waterways, its architecture, its bridges, its tourists, its curiosities, its smells, sounds, lights and colours, there is scarcely a corner of Venice that Jan Morris has not investigated and brought vividly to life. Jan Morris first visited the city of Venice as young James Morris, during World War II. As she writes in the introduction, it is Venice seen through a particular pair of eyes at a particular moment - young eyes at that, responsive above all to the stimuli of youth. Venice is an impassioned work on this magnificent but often maddening city. Jan Morris s collection of travel writing and reportage spans over five decades and includes such titles as Sydney, Coronation Everest, Hong Kong, Spain and Manhattan 45. Since its first publication, Venice has appeared in many editions, won the W.H. Heinemann award and become an international bestseller. The best book about Venice ever written Sunday Times No sensible visitor should visit the place without it . . . Venice stands alone as the essential introduction, and as a work of literature in its own right. Observer

The stunning first volume in Janny Wurts’s epic tale of two half-brothers cursed to life-long enmity, now re-released with a striking new cover. Let each who reads determine the good and the evil for himself Athera is besieged by the Mistwraith, which blights the land and dims the mysteries guarded by the last fugitives of the old bloodlines. But from a prophecy springs hope: the gifts of two brothers – one dark, one fair, raised on opposite sides of a relentless war – when paired may challenge the Mistwraith’s invasion, though at brutal cost…Arithon, Master of Shadow, musician and mage, commands the power of illusion and darkness.Taken prisoner in battle, his fate falls to his half-brother, Prince Lysaer – a man endowed with the gift of light through the mother they share. Lysaer is the legitimate son of a king who was betrayed by his queen’s choice to father Arithon by his mortal enemy but that does not save him:Vengeful fury drives the king to banish both Lysaer and Arithon from the world they know to the troubled realms of Athera beyond the Worldsend Gate. The two exiles are thrown together by hatred and spilled blood – then bound by destiny to champion Athera’s sundered heritage.The highest stakes ride the backlash of their conflict – they must reforge their adverse ideals into balance, or destroy the etheric grace of a culture all but lost to antiquity. A subtle and intricate tale of morality and difference, justice versus compassion, told with epic scope and real magic, Curse of the Mistwraith remains a modern classic of the fantasy genre.

A revealing look at the parallel mythologies behind the colonization of Earth and spaceâ ”and a bold vision for a more equitable, responsible future both on and beyond our planet. Â As environmental, political, and public health crises multiply on Earth, we are also at the dawn of a new space race in which governments team up with celebrity billionaires to exploit the cosmos for human gain. The best-known of these pioneers are selling different visions of the future: while Elon Musk and SpaceX seek to establish a human presence on Mars, Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin work toward moving millions of earthlings into rotating near-Earth habitats. Despite these distinctions, these two billionaires share a core utopian project: the salvation of humanity through the exploitation of space. Â In Astrotopia, philosopher of science and religion Mary-Jane Rubenstein pulls back the curtain on the not-so-new myths these space barons are peddling, like growth without limit, energy without guilt, and salvation in a brand-new world. As Rubenstein reveals, we have already seen the destructive effects of this frontier zealotry in the centuries-long history of European colonialism. Much like the imperial project on Earth, this renewed effort to conquer space is presented as a religious calling: in the face of a coming apocalypse, some very wealthy messiahs are offering an other-worldly escape to a chosen few. But Rubenstein does more than expose the values of capitalist technoscience as the product of bad mythologies. She offers a vision of exploring space without reproducing the atrocities of earthly colonialism, encouraging us to find and even make stories that put cosmic caretaking over profiteering.

The new edition of the benchmark work originally published by the Dieter and Ingeborg Rams Foundation and Jo Klatt. Few product designs have the staying power of creations by Dieter Rams. Almost everything produced by one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century is today considered a classic. This new and revised edition of Less but Better shows once again why Dieter Rams’s approach to design will be relevant for the foreseeable future Ideas of what can and must be achieved by good design are in a constant state of flux as a result of cultural and technological developments. Dieter Rams, however, came up with ten principles that advocate for a purist, almost imperceptible design. These principles are still considered timeless fundaments of design theory and practice today: Good design is innovative. Good design makes a product useful. Good design is aesthetic. Good design helps a product to be understood. Good design is unobtrusive. Good design is honest. Good design is durable. Good design is consistent to the last detail. Good design is environmentally friendly. Good design is as little design as possible. Less but Better does not set out to be a complete documentation of Dieter Rams’s body of work, nor does it claim to tell the full story of the company Braun. Rather, the book explores the ideas, criteria, and methods behind Rams’s creations and reveals how a shifting culture of product manufacturing gave rise to universal design benchmarks. From his reflections on design ethics and values we can distill a clear paradigm for future design —because one principle has remained firm over the years: less is simply better.

Many more people are familiar with the notion of organized crime, as the film and TV industry regularly draw on fictional and real figures and situations. Organized crime feels like a tangible, inescapable issue in today s world.In this Very Short introduction, Georgios A. Antonopoulos and Georgios Papanicolaou uncover the reality of organized crime in our world today.

Discussing whether there are particular crimes that the label organized crime applies to, or if any crime can be organized, they also consider what happens when organized crime extends beyond borders. Using examples from across the globe, they analyse the different cultural traditions of organized crime, such as the Mafia, Yakuza, and Triads, and also the nature of organized crime, from arms trafficking and drug dealing to extortion. Finally they explore the methods and agencies in place to control and prevent organized crime.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

This study of forensic crime fiction from the US and the UK examines the prominent roles that women play in many of these novels, arguing that there are historical continuities with earlier forms of contact with the dead body. Refuting claims that the female forensic examiner exhibits traits of typically masculine behaviour, it suggests that the female gaze humanises the victims of crime and alters their representations. Utilising the views of a world-famous forensic scientist interviewed for this Element, this study also explores the role and treatment of science in forensic crime fiction, shedding light on an area of the genre. Finally, there is a consideration of killers in forensic crime novels, proposing that the relationship between killer and investigator is different from that of the classic crime novel. There are also two Appendices containing interviews with Professor Niamh Nic Daeid and with Val McDermid.

Crimea shapes the headlines much as it did some 160 years ago, when the Crimean War pitted Britain, France and Turkey against Russia. Yet few books have been published on the history of the peninsula. For many readers, Crimea seems as remote today as it was when colonised by the ancient Greeks. Neil Kent s book recounts the history of the Crimea over three millennia. A crossroads between Europe and Asia, ships sailed to and from Crimean ports, forming a bridge that carried merchandise and transmitted ideas and innovations. Greeks, Scythians, Tartars, Russians, Armenians and Genoese are among those who settled the peninsula since antiquity, a demographic patchwork that reflects its geography. The religious beliefs of its inhabitants are almost as numerous: the Hebraicised beliefs of the Karaim Tartars, Islam, Judaisim, Russian and Greek Orthodoxy, as well as Roman Catholicism. This mosaic is also reflected in places of worship and the palaces which still adorn Crimea: imperial Romanov Massandra, the noble nest of Prince Voronzov at Alupca or the Palace of Bakhchisaray built for the Tartar Khan.For some two centuries balmy Yalta and its environs were a veritable Black Sea Riviera, where Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin met at the end of the Second World War.

It s time to meet some of the most interesting and awful people in the world: the criminal world, that is. The world can be an arbitrary or tough place to live in. These people make it worse, from taking advantage of naïve and trusting people (see Bernie Madoff) to religious cult leaders (see David Koresh) to violent madmen (see Charles Whitman) and vicious exploiters (see Whitey Bulger, Al Capone, Pablo Escobar and a host of unsavory others). What made them tick? Where were they born and what strange situation made them into monsters, conmen, thieves and killers? Where did they do their worst and what brought them to their ends? True Crime Biographies answers these questions and offers chilling facts and insights into far more. What were their motives, how did they get away with crimes, what drove them to commit the crimes and how did they get away with them -- in some cases, forever? Each biography comprises two pages of photos, histories, maps and atmosphere. The criminals range from well-known Brits like the Krays, North Americans like Ted Bundy, Meyer Lansky and the still-missing D.B. Cooper. There are less-familiar European and Asian criminals, complete with their cartels and gangs of Yakuza and Mafiosi. They re grouped into sections: Gangsters (Capone, Lucky Luciano, the Krays, Bonnie and Clyde) Murderers and Serial Killers (Bundy, Phil Spector, John Wayne Gacy, Aileen Wuornos) Cult Leaders (Jim Jones, Joseph Di Mambro and the Order of the Solar Temple, Charles Manson) Thieves (Willie Sutton, The Pink Panthers, D.B. Cooper) Con Artists (Frank Abagnale Jr, Bernie Madoff, Charles Ponzi, Reed Slatkin) Hackers (Kevin Mitnick, The Lazarus Group -- Wannacry Ransomware, Iceman Max Ray Butler). More than 100 short biographies, well illustrated with on-the-spot crime photos, mug shots, photos of victims and partners in crime, cops and prosecutors make this a lively and fast-paced witness to True Crime.

WINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZEThe compelling, inspiring, (often comic) coming-of-age story of Trevor Noah, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed.One of the comedy world s brightest new voices, Trevor Noah is a light-footed but sharp-minded observer of the absurdities of politics, race and identity, sharing jokes and insights drawn from the wealth of experience acquired in his relatively young life. As host of the US hit show The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, he provides viewers around the globe with their nightly dose of biting satire, but here Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers a deeply personal, heartfelt and humorous look at the world that shaped him. Noah was born a crime, son of a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the first years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, take him away.A collection of eighteen personal stories, Born a Crime tells the story of a mischievous young boy growing into a restless young man as he struggles to find his place in a world where he was never supposed to exist. Born a Crime is equally the story of that young man s fearless, rebellious and fervently religious mother - a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence and abuse that ultimately threatens her own life.Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Noah illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and an unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a personal portrait of an unlikely childhood in a dangerous time, as moving and unforgettable as the very best memoirs and as funny as Noah s own hilarious stand-up. Born a Crime is a must read.

An authoritative analysis of how Putin s Russia conquered the Crimea in 2014 using grey zone warfare techniques, blending operations by anonymous special forces with cyber, sabotage, and propaganda. Russiaâ ™s annexation of Crimea in 2014 was almost bloodless â “ fought as much through propaganda, cyberattacks and subversion as by force of arms â “ but it is crucial for our understanding of both modern warfare and recent Russian history. Ironically, this slick triumph eventually led to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the largest and costliest conventional war in Europe since 1945.This is a fascinating account of the Crimea conquest from a supremely qualified expert on modern Russian forces. Illustrated throughout, it explores how Russia developed its new model of â ˜hybridâ ™ or â ˜grey zoneâ ™ warfare, and planned and deployed it against Crimea, from the choreographed appearance of â ˜spontaneousâ ™ protesters through to the deployment of unbadged Russian elite forces. In this book Mark Galeotti explores the lessons that Russia, Ukraine, and the West took from it â “ correctly and mistakenly â “ and how this apparently textbook operation sowed the seeds that would erupt so catastrophically in 2022.

Named a Best Book of the Year by: Boston Globe * New Yorker * NPR * PopMattersFrom the bestselling and award-winning author of The Fortress of Solitude and Motherless Brooklyn comes a sweeping story of community, crime, and gentrification, tracing more than fifty years of life in one Brooklyn neighborhood.“A blistering book. A love story. Social commentary. History. Protest novel. And mystery joins the whole together: is the crime time ? Or the almighty dollar? I got a great laugh from it too. Every city deserves a book like this.” — Colum McCann, author of Apeirogon and Let the Great World SpinOn the streets of 1970s Brooklyn, a daily ritual goes down: the dance. Money is exchanged, belongings surrendered, power asserted. The promise of violence lies everywhere, a currency itself. For these children, Black, brown, and white, the street is a stage in shadow. And in the wings hide the other players: parents; cops; renovators; landlords; those who write the headlines, the histories, and the laws; those who award this neighborhood its name.The rules appear obvious at first. But in memory’s prism, criminals and victims may seem to trade places. The voices of the past may seem to rise and gather as if in harmony, then make war with one another. A street may seem to crack open and reveal what lies behind its glimmering facade. None who lived through it are ever permitted to forget.Written with kaleidoscopic verve and delirious wit, Brooklyn Crime Novel is a breathtaking tour de force by a writer at the top of his powers. Jonathan Lethem, “one of America’s greatest storytellers” (Washington Post), has crafted an epic interrogation of how we fashion stories to contain the uncontainable: our remorse at the world we’ve made.

Audiokniha: Z komentáře k původnímu LP albu 01 0296 Jan Pivec bez líčidla vydal Panton v roce 1971 - nyní tento titul vychází v Supraphonu poprvé digitálně: ...Národního umělce Jana Pivce Vám nemusíme představovat jako herce. Postavy, které vytvořil na jevišti Národního divadla, v televizi i ve filmu svou osobitostí a jadrností vstoupily ve všeobecné povědomí a zanechaly ve všech myslích nesmazatelné dojmy. Jan Pivec je vskutku, v plném smyslu slova umělcem národním....Salvy smíchu, zaujetí, okouzlení vzpomínkami z divadelního světa, to všechno umí Jan Pivec v soukromí vzbudit, přirozeně, živelně, bez jakéhokoli patrného úsilí či snahy. V soukromí je Jan Pivec jako na jevišti: osobnost nabitá myšlenkami, city a vzruchy, jako přetopený kotel...Herecké výkony Jana Pivce jsou zachyceny na filmových pásech i zvukových záznamech. Je to však jen část jeho mimořádné osobnosti...Jan Pivec je jako vypravěč tak osobitý, že je nenapodobitelný. Slovy nelze charakterizovat a sdělit to nenapodobitelné a neopakovatelné, čím Jan Pivec okouzluje své posluchače. Takovou řeč jsem svého času vedl s šéfredaktorem gramoredakce Pantonu Jiřím Maláskem. Slovo dalo slovo - a tak jsme při jednom odpoledním posezení u šálku kávy s Janem Pivcem - bez obzvláštních technických příprav a zábran - umístili v kruhu společnosti i mikrofon. Vznikl tak nenucený, nijak nenahrávaný čtyřhodinový zvukový záznam, v němž dominuje vypravěč Jan Pivec, bez líčidel, nenucený, v intimní a neoficiální atmosféře...vybrali jsme úryvky i tak, aby v Pivcově nenapodobitelném vyprávění ožily znovu osoby a historie, kterých současníkem i účastníkem Jan Pivec dlouhá léta byl. Je to celá velká éra vývoje českého divadla, jejíž nedílnou součástí je i jméno národního umělce Jana Pivce. Přál bych Vám, abyste při poslechu této desky - až se nyní pohodlně usadíte v křesle také třeba se šálkem kávy - zažili podobný hezký pocit, jaký jsme měli my, kteří jsme seděli v kruhu s Janem Pivcem při natáčení této desky.
