creativity through nature ann blockley

From allotment inspiration to nature prints, from harnessing patchwork concepts to recycling pieces of art, to the alchemy of found materials, this is a journey to find new creativity through our connection with the natural world. In her most passionate and personal book for artists, acclaimed watercolor artist Ann Blockley takes the reader through a series of ideas of working with nature—in its widest sense—to nurture our creativity, inspire us, make us more sustainable artists, and breathe back energy and flow when our artistic streams run dry. In “Go Outside and Play,” the author exhorts artists to recapture a fun, no-pressure way of being outside and use that feeling when creating. In “Connecting Materials to Place,” she creates her own paint from the local pond. In “The Slow Movement,” the artist reveals her year of working on a specific local hedgerow and painting a series of different interpretations in its every-changing detail. She created regular creative rituals, using her weekly playing card as a starting point for a new painting to reflect the season each week. She reuses old paintings, and tissue and paper—wabi-sabi style—to create new textures and even new paintings. Including work from other artists as well as her own, she shows the ideas and work from textile and mixed-media artists.

Practical ideas for rewilding your creative practice.Internationally renowned textile artist Jeanette Appleton takes both budding and more experienced felters through a series of ideas for working with nature to nurture creativity, inspire, and make us more sustainable artists. Creating exciting felt surfaces that are both beautiful and versatile, she demonstrates how to capture the nuances of nature—lines of sea, hedge, and grass, cracks in parched earth, light on early morning dew, frosted puddles—and translate them into subtleties of texture and stitch.Exploring a variety of strategies for overcoming artists’ block, the book is packed with practical ideas for rewilding your creative practice: changing the routes and patterns of your local environment to bring natural patterns into your own work; revisiting past diaries and sketchbooks to find lines, threads, and stitches that lead the way forward; transforming recycled cloth by bonding memories, mixed-media, and found objects into your work; making cuts and slits in the layers of fabric to reveal the secret strata of nature and the fragility of the planet beneath.Felt is an incredibly versatile medium, allowing control and creativity that ready-made fabrics cannot replicate. Appleton constantly challenges the felt process on this fascinating journey, discovering a new working practice through our connection with the outside world—and to reconnect where nature and creativity meet.

Pushing the boundaries of watercolor and other mixed media, this delightful wander through the woods is the ideal companion for both beginners and the more experienced landscape painter who wishes to take their painting to the next level.

With Awakening Creativity, you can learn to embrace yours.

A history of how, in the mid-twentieth century, we came to believe in the concept of creativity. Named a best book of 2023 by the New Yorker and a notable book of 2023 by Behavioral Scientist.  Creativity is one of American societyâ ™s signature values, but the idea that there is such a thing as â œcreativity⠝⠔and that it can be cultivatedâ ”is surprisingly recent, entering our everyday speech in the 1950s. As Samuel W. Franklin reveals, postwar Americans created creativity, through campaigns to define and harness the power of the individual to meet the demands of American capitalism and life under the Cold War. Creativity was championed by a cluster of professionalsâ ”psychologists, engineers, and advertising peopleâ ”as a cure for the conformity and alienation they feared was stifling American ingenuity. It was touted as a force of individualism and the human spirit, a new middle-class aspiration that suited the needs of corporate America and the spirit of anticommunism.  Amid increasingly rigid systems, creativity took on an air of romance; it was a more democratic quality than genius, but more rarified than mere intelligence. The term eluded clear definition, allowing all sorts of people and institutions to claim it as a solution to their problems, from corporate dullness to urban decline. Today, when creativity is constantly sought after, quantified, and maximized, Franklinâ ™s eye-opening history of the concept helps us to see what it really is, and whom it really serves. Â

Exploring the connections between nature and neurodiversityTime in nature supports our wellbeing. If we are neurodivergent, it can stimulate our senses, feed our curiosity and help us find others with the same deep interests. But why do natural environments have such profound effects?After receiving an ADHD diagnosis in his thirties, Joe Harkness began to question whether his bond with nature was intrinsic to his neurodivergence or something developed through his life choices. Keen to know more, he connected with other neurodivergent people who share his passion for the natural world. Threading their stories with his own, Joe explores why they chose to seek diagnosis, the ways they find solace and understanding through nature, and what led many of them into nature-related careers.Drawing on his personal and professional experiences, Joe highlights the creativity, skills and passion that can benefit communities, schools and workplaces when neurodiversity is welcomed and supported in all its forms.

Engineering is part of almost everything we do - from the water we drink and the food we eat, to the buildings we live in and the roads and railways we travel on. In this Very Short Introduction, David Blockley explores the nature and practice of engineering, its history, its scope, and its relationship with art, craft, science, and technology. He considers the role of engineering in the modern world, demonstrating its need to provide both practical and socially acceptable solutions, and explores how engineers use natural phenomena to embrace human needs. From its early roots starting with Archimedes to some of the great figures of engineering such as Brunel and Marconi, right up to the modern day, he also looks at some of its challenges - when things go wrong - such as at Chernobyl. Ultimately, he shows how engineering is intimately part of who and what we are.

Have you ever wondered how it s possible to build a skyscraper, a big bridge, a jumbo jet, or a cruise liner? Everything has structure. Structure is the difference between a random pile of components and a fully functional object. Through structure the parts connect to make the whole. Natural structures vary from the very smallest part of an atom to the entire cosmology of the universe. Man-made structures include buildings, bridges, dams, ships, aeroplanes, rockets, trains, cars and fair-ground rides and all forms of artefacts, even large artistic sculptures. The wide range of different industries in which structural engineers work includes construction, transport, manufacturing, and aerospace. In this Very Short Introduction, David Blockley explores, in non-technical language, what structural engineering is all about, including examples ranging from the Shard in London and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to jumbo jets like the A380 and the Queen Elizabeth cruise liner.

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.

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.

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)

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

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

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 Anneâ ™s â ˜beauty-loving eyesâ ™, whose vision of the world she brings us to share.

Tracing the dissemination of Secessionist ideas of child creativity – from their origination in early-20th century Vienna through to their eventual commodification in postwar America – this book highlights the central role that visual art has played in child education and in nurturing creativity in elementary and preschool curricula.Taking the reader through the ideas of three artistic visionaries and their students; Franz Cižek, and Austrian-American émigrés Emmy Zweybrück and Viktor Löwenfeld, the author reveals how these ideas developed in postwar America through a focus on child-centered methods of learning by doing in artistic practice. By centring the visual arts as a vital educational medium, we see how these teachings have been popularized as a means of nurturing creativity in childhood.Across three chapter length case-studies, interspersed with three mini chapters on the reception of each artist-educator s radical teachings in the American education system, the book provides new interpretations into the impact of these three luminaries differing philosophies on a broader program of socio-political activism in the USA. Drawing on previously untapped archival and primary source materials, it blends deep material culture analysis with narrative elements to present a compelling account of the unrecognized influence of émigré art pedagogy on progressive, international art education. In doing so, it provides fresh transregional and thematic perspectives on early-1900s Vienna as a hotbed of creative and cultural experimentation and mecca of progressive art education.

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. When old feelings start rising to the surface, they must decide whether to put their hearts on the line or walk away all over again.

Her personal life riven by passion, illness and intrigue, Queen Anne presided over some of the most momentous events in British history. Like Antonia Fraserâ ™s life of Marie Antoinette or Amanda Foremanâ ™s â ˜The Duchessâ ™, â ˜Queen Anneâ ™ 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 Britainâ ™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: Anneâ ™s close relationship with Sarah, the outspoken wife of the Duke of Marlborough, turned to rancor with Sarahâ ™s startling claim of the Queenâ ™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.
