Dark Roads - Chevy Stevens

"Chevy Stevens is back and better than ever...Dark Roads is a chilling, pulse-pounding thriller that also tugs at the heartstrings. It''s everything you''ve come to love from a master of the psych thriller genre."—New York Times bestselling author Mary KubicaThe Cold Creek Highway stretches close to five hundred miles through British Columbia’s rugged wilderness to the west coast. Isolated and vast, it has become a prime hunting ground for predators. For decades, young women traveling the road have gone missing. Motorists and hitchhikers, those passing through or living in one of the small towns scattered along the region, have fallen prey time and again. And no killer or abductor who has stalked the highway has ever been brought to justice.Hailey McBride calls Cold Creek home. Her father taught her to respect nature, how to live and survive off the land, and to never travel the highway alone. Now he’s gone, leaving her a teenage orphan in the care of her aunt whose police officer husband uses his badge as a means to bully and control Hailey. Overwhelmed by grief and forbidden to work, socialize, or date, Hailey vanishes into the mountainous terrain, hoping everyone will believe she’s left town. Rumors spread that she was taken by the highway killer—who’s claimed another victim over the summer.One year later, Beth Chevalier arrives in Cold Creek, where her sister Amber lived—and where she was murdered. Estranged from her parents and seeking closure, Beth takes a waitressing job at the local diner, just as Amber did, desperate to understand what happened to her and why. But Beth’s search for answers puts a target on her back—and threatens to reveal the truth behind Hailey’s disappearance…

The New Silk Roads - Professor Peter Frankopan

A brand new book from the Sunday Times and internationally bestselling author of The Silk Roads 'Masterly mapping out of a new world order' – Evening Standard Revised and updated edition The New Silk Roads takes a fresh look at the relationships being formed along the length and breadth of the ancient trade routes today. The world is changing dramatically and in an age of Brexit and Trump, the themes of isolation and fragmentation permeating the western world stand in sharp contrast to events along the Silk Roads, where ties are being strengthened and mutual cooperation established. This prescient contemporary history provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected. Following the Silk Roads eastwards from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, Peter Frankopan assesses the global reverberations of continual shifts in the centre of power – all too often absent from headlines in the west. The New Silk Roads asks us to re-examine who we are and where we stand in the world, illuminating the themes on which all our lives and livelihoods depend. The Silk Roads, a major reassessment of world history, has sold over 1 million copies worldwide.

The Roads To Rome - Fletcher Catherine

Brimming with life and drama, this is a magnificent journey into two thousand years of history, from the acclaimed historian of Europe''Epic and witty'' Observer ''Erudite, entertaining'' Helena Attlee''Charming'' Wall Street Journal''Delightful and authoritative'' Judith Herrin''Compelling...enjoyable'' Financial Times''All roads lead to Rome.'' It''s a medieval proverb, but it''s also true: today''s European roads still follow the networks of the ancient empire, stitching together our histories and continuing to inspire our imaginations.Over the two thousand years since they were first built, the roads have been walked by crusaders and pilgrims, liberators and dictators, but also by tourists and writers, refugees and artists. As channels of trade and travel, and routes for conquest and creativity, Catherine Fletcher shows how the roads forever transformed the cultures, and intertwined the fates, of a vast panoply of people across Europe and beyond.Reflecting on his own walk on the Appian Way, Charles Dickens observed that here is ‘a history in every stone that strews the ground.’ Based on outstanding original research, and brimming with life and drama, this is the first book to explore two thousand years of history through one of the greatest imperial networks ever built.

Poľovačka na Che Guevaru

„Ak sa k nám smrť priblíži, privítajme ju s odhodlaním. Tak zomiera partizán.“ Tieto slová vyriekol Ernesto Che Guevara vo chvíli, keď vojaci bolívijského diktátora Barrientosa zlikvidovali jeho bojový oddiel. Vedenie CIA poslalo do krajiny svojho agenta a zabijaka Félixa Rodriguéza. Spolu s bolívijským ministrom riadil poľovačku na Che Guevaru. Chcel zmeniť svet, vytvoriť nového človeka, bojovať proti americkému imperializmu a pomáhať národom oslobodiť sa od kolonialistov. Partizánsky oddiel v blízkosti dedinky La Higuera vojská obkľúčili, Che Guevaru v prestrelke ranili a seržant Mário Terán veliteľa partizánov zblízka odstrelil. Autor pátral po stopách Che Guevaru v Havane, Nikarague, Paríži, Moskve, Washingtone a v Miami na Floride. Pri písaní mu pomohli aj postrehy bývalého spravodajcu Československého rozhlasu v Lime Valentína Benčaťa. Dlho sa nevedelo, že Che Guevara žil krátko aj neďaleko Prahy. Na príbehu Ernesta Che Guevaru ani čas neubral nič z jeho revolučnej legendy. Tá napriek všetkým ideologickým obratom žije naďalej. Stal sa ikonou revolúcie, svojimi činmi stále inšpiruje a fascinuje milióny mladých ľudí na celom svete.

Brilliant Blue - Karen Stevens

A remarkable debut, as rich, complex, dark and ambitious as any you will find in fiction. For readers of The Rabbit Hutch. "Bold, beautiful and ebullient, it fizzes with life and dazzles with sheer power and intelligence. I don't think I've ever read a writer whose eye is more acute." – Alison MacLeod"Moving and powerful. This is such an important book." – Ed HoganKaren Stevens' stunning debut reveals the intimate struggles of families on the margins of contemporary Britain. Set primarily on the fictional Duncock Estate, a housing project on the south coast of England, these interconnected stories expose the human cost of economic precarity, following characters navigating mental illness, housing instability, immigration tensions, and generational trauma. Stevens writes with unflinching honesty and deep compassion, illuminating lives often rendered invisible in contemporary literature. From a Polish immigrant attacked while helping a neighbor, to a teenage mother keeping vigil over a dying stranger, to a university student struggling to reconcile education with working-class roots, Stevens' characters resist easy categorization. They are flawed, fierce, funny, and utterly human.

Che Guevara - Jon Lee Anderson

With unprecedented access to the Cuban Government''s archives and total co-operation from Che''s widow, Aleida March, as well as access to hitherto unpublished documents, including several of Che''s personal diaries, this biography of one of history''s most fascinating figures by critically-acclaimed New York Times journalist Jon Lee Anderson is truly definitive and monumental - not least because its creation solved a twenty-eight-year-old mystery: the whereabouts of Che Guevara''s body...''Masterly and absorbing'' -- The Sunday Times''Brilliantly evoked... The portrait is now as complete as it will ever be'' -- The Times Literary Supplement''Absorbing and convincing... an indispensable work of contemporary history'' ? Guardian''Probably the best biography I have read'' -- ***** Reader review''It''s hard to imagine that this work can be bettered'' -- ***** Reader review''Simply outstanding'' -- ***** Reader review''A terrific read and genuinely the type of book you can''t put down after you start reading......'' -- ***** Reader review***************************************************************A myth in his own lifetime; an international martyr-figure upon his death; a revolutionary fighter; a military strategist; a social philosopher; an economist; a medical doctor; a friend and confidant of Fidel Castro.Che Guevara''s dream was an epic one - to unite Latin America and the rest of the developing world through armed revolution, and to end once and for all the poverty, injustice and petty nationalisms that had bled it for centuries. In the end Che failed in his quest but he is recognized as that one-in-a-million personality who just might have pulled it off.Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life shuttles between the revolutionary capitals of Havana and Algiers to the battlegrounds of Bolivia and the Congo; from the halls of power in Moscow and Washington to the exile havens of Miami, Mexico and Guatemala, in a gripping tale of revolution, international intrigue and covert operations. It has an epic sweep as it evokes an era of tumultuous change, describing major events like the Bay of Pigs invasion, the October Missile crisis and Kennedy''s assassination, weaving in a cast of historic personalities including Castro, Kennedy, Kruschev, Mao Tse-tung, Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.With its painstaking research, never-before-seen documentation and compelling narrative, this is really the ultimate biography of a unique man.

Che - Ľuboš Blaha

Kniha Che je v slovenskom prostredí doposiaľ najkomplexnejším dielom o slávnom latinskoamerickom revolucionárovi Ernestovi Che Guevarovi, z ktorého sa stal symbol revolćie a odporu proti americkému imperializmu. Spolu s Fidelom Castrom vybojoval kubánsku revolúciu (1956 – 1959), neskôr viedol partizánske oddiely aj v Afrike (1965) a Bolívii (1966 – 1967(, kde ho za asistencie americkej CIA zavraždili, čím však z neho urobili mučeníka pre ľavičiarov a národno-oslobodzovacie hnutia po celom svete. Stal sa inšpiráciou pre milióny mladých ľudí, pretože obetoval život za svoje ideály. Ľuboš Blaha v knihe opisuje búrlivý priebeh Guevarovho života s dôrazom na jeho politické myslenie. Analyzuje aj jeho dielo, osobitne teóriu foco a víziu nového človeka. Autor interpretuje Che Guevaru ako typického predstaviteľa tzv. romantickej ľavice, ktorú kladie do protikladu k tzv. technokratickej ľavici. Zároveň spochybňuje tézu, že Che Guevara bol predstaviteľom libertariánskej Novej ľavice, naopak, v knihe dokladá, že jeho politické názory patria do klasického marxisticko-leninského prúdu a jeho myšlienky možno impretovať aj ako súčasť širšieho ideového prúdu národnej ľavice. Všetky knihy Ľuboša Blahu sú nanajvýš príťažlivé... Svojej úlohy predstaviť Che Guevaru sa zhostil nielen faktograficky, nielen filozoficky, ale aj pokusom o prekonanie dichotómie medzi romantickými a technokratickými silami politiky...Knihu odporúčam všetkým, ktorým je ľavicové myslenie blízke bez ohľadu na vek, ale najmä mládeži...Blahov text prečítate na jeden dúšok. Prof.PhDr. Jozef Lysý, CSc.Za obohajúce považujem, že Ľuboš Blaha neuvažuje o Guevarovi izolovane ako o osobnosti Latinskej Ameriky, ale hľadá prepojenia a inšpirácie platné pre Ďalšie geografické okruhy, v našom prípade najmä Slovenska...Autor využíva značné množstvo literatúry, o ktoré opiera svoju analýzu a rozprávačsky pútavým štýlom Che Guevaru približuje širšiemu okruhu čitateľov.

Che Guevara - Jon Lee Anderson

Che Guevara''s legend is unmatched in the modern world. Since his assassination in 1967 at the age of 39, the Argentine revolutionary has become an internationally famed icon, as revered as he is controversial. A Marxist ideologue, he sought to end global inequality by bringing down the American capitalist empire through armed guerrilla warfare – and has few rivals in the Cold War era as an apostle of change. In Che: A Revolutionary Life, Jon Lee Anderson and José Hernández reveal the man behind the myth, creating a complex portrait of this passionate idealist. Adapted from Anderson''s masterwork, Che transports us from young Ernesto''s medical school days to the battlefields of the Cuban revolution; from his place of power alongside Castro to his disastrous sojourn in the Congo, and his violent end in Bolivia. Through renowned Mexican artist José Hernández''s drawings, we feel the bullets fly past in Cuba; smell the smoke of Castro''s cigars; and scrutinize the face of the weary guerrilla as he is called ‘Comandante’ for the first time. With astonishing precision, colour, and drama, Che makes us first-hand witnesses to the revolutionary life and times of this historic figure. Combining Anderson''s unprecedented access and research with Hernández''s emotionally gripping artwork, Che resurrects the man for a new generation of readers.

Silk Roads - Tim Williams, Sue Brunning, Luk Yu-ping, Elisabeth R. O’Connell

‘Filled with insights, the very latest research and plenty of surprises: a superlative catalogue of one the most ambitious and spectacular exhibitions ever staged at the British Museum.’ – Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads: A New History of the World ‘A sumptuous book…a book of the exotic and the wonderful, a trip to ancient and far-away lands, a book full of artistic and cultural treasures, a book to savour and enjoy.’ – Sacred Hoop magazine A richly illustrated publication that explores the networks of contacts and exchanges spanning Afro-Eurasia from 500 to 1000 ce, highlighting how the movement of people, objects and ideas shaped cultures and histories. The term ‘Silk Road’ conjures a range of romantic images. Camel caravans crossing desert dunes. Merchants trading silk and spices. Far-flung commerce between ‘East’ and ‘West’. The reality was far richer. Focusing on a defining period between 500 and 1000 CE, this beautifully illustrated book reimagines the Silk Roads as a web of interlocking networks linking Asia, Africa and Europe, from Japan to Ireland, from the Arctic to Madagascar. It tells a remarkable story of people, objects and ideas flowing in all directions, through the traces these journeys left behind – including ceramics from Tang China recovered from a shipwreck in the Java Sea, sword-fittings set with Indian garnets buried in England, and a selection of letters and legal texts from a synagogue in Cairo revealing a Jewish community’s links from India to al-Andalus. Woven throughout, encounters with various peoples active on the Silk Roads, from seafarers to Sogdians, Aksumites and Vikings, reveal the human stories, innovations and transfers of knowledge that emerged, shaping cultures and histories across continents centuries before the formation of today’s globalised world.

The Silk Roads - Professor Peter Frankopan

The No. 1 Sunday Times and international bestseller - a major reassessment of world history in light of the economic and political renaissance in the re-emerging east For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west – in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia deep into China and India, is taking centre stage in international politics, commerce and culture – and is shaping the modern world. This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the world’s great religions were born and took root. The Silk Roads were no exotic series of connections, but networks that linked continents and oceans together. Along them flowed ideas, goods, disease and death. This was where empires were won – and where they were lost. As a new era emerges, the patterns of exchange are mirroring those that have criss-crossed Asia for millennia. The Silk Roads are rising again. A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads is an important account of the forces that have shaped the global economy and the political renaissance in the re-emerging east.

Film režiséra Stevena Soderbergha odhalil dvě zásadní etapy života Ernesta Guevary zvaného Che. První z nich zachycuje kubánskou revoluci a období od vzniku Castrovy partyzánské skupiny v pohoří Sierra Maestra až po pád Havany. Druhé z nich líčí období partyzánské války v Bolívii, kde byl Che zajat a popraven. Tento dokument je však výrazně ucelenější. Che Guevara za svými revolučními ideály ukrýval mnohem temnější stránky. Když byl po vítězství kubánské revoluce jmenován prezidentem kubánské národní banky a současně ministrem financí a ministrem průmyslu, dokázal záhy svými reformami kubánské hospodářství zcela zruinovat. Retrospektivní dokument nabízí divákům neotřelejší pohled na tohoto jihoamerického revolucionáře, který i dnes zůstává vůdčím představitelem a zosobněním marxistických myšlenek.

The Hungry Ghost Bread Book - Jonathan Stevens

Longlisted for the André Simon Award for Food Books for 2024"A beautifully written book by a true artisan. . . . Easy to read and likely to inspire, this book will take your bread-making to the next level.”—Sandor Ellix Katz, fermentation revivalist; author of The Art of Fermentation and other fermentation bestsellers“It’s impossible to read through the recipes in The Hungry Ghost Bread Book without being inspired to scoop out some sourdough starter and get mixing.”—Maurizio Leo, author of James Beard Award–winning The Perfect LoafFor the adventurous home baker and small-scale commercial baker alike, The Hungry Ghost Bread Book is a delicious guide and a pious devotional to the wonderful, awe-inspiring world of sourdough.What does it mean to take on the practice of bread? Jonathan Stevens, co-owner of Hungry Ghost Bread in Northampton, Massachusetts, has pondered this question over thirty years of baking sourdough bread. Baking is a ritual that demands attention, physical proximity, close observation, and continual adjustment. It begets sustenance, fosters community, and connects us with a 10,000-year-old craft.The Hungry Ghost Bread Book is a window onto one baker’s artisan approach to sourdough bread—the culmination of his time in the tide of dough.Sourdough, declares Stevens, is not a style of bread. It is bread. The sourdough starter—the microbial community used to inoculate bread dough—transforms flour into something truly digestible by humans, unlocking the nutrients that are otherwise inaccessible. Stevens’s unique approach to working with sourdough can be summed up by three tenets, each of which begins with “more.” More hydration, more fermentation, and more heat in the oven.Inside these pages, you’ll find tools, techniques, insights, short-cuts, ingredients, warnings, and a handful of haikus. You’ll find instructions for creating and nurturing your own sourdough starter, as well as formulas for a variety of loaves, flatbreads, crackers, folds, scones, bagels, and more, including:Eight-Grain BreadFig & Sage BreadPotato-Thyme FougasseSesame-Spelt CrackersRosemary Walnut Scones The results are quite fantastic: bread that bites back, heels worth chewing on, and scraps worth toasting. A return to real Wonder."The Hungry Ghost feeds more than spirits with its spectacular breads."—Saveur (naming Hungry Ghost Bread a "Great American Bread Bakery")

Ghost Pains - Jessi Jezewska Stevens

With her novel The Visitors, Jessi Jezewska Stevens has proven herself as our preeminent purveyor of comical, techno-millenarian unease. Now, with this first collection of her acclaimed short fiction – originally appearing in such venues as The Paris Review and Harper''s – some of her very best work is at last readily available to readers. Stevens''s women throw disastrous parties in the post-party era, flirt through landscapes of terror and war, and find themselves unrecognisable after waking up with old flames in new cities. They navigate the labyrinths of history, love, and ethics in a fractured American present, seeing first-hand how history influences the ways in which we care for – or neglect – one another.''Stevens’ impeccable artistry manages to overlay the gauzy romance of the stranger in a strange land atop the grim economic and interpersonal realities that so often accompany relative youth, relative freedom, and relative love. Erudite, eloquent, and bittersweet—these stories are like chewing on the orange rind for a last bitter taste of the drink.''Kirkus Reviews

Secret Worlds - Martin Stevens

Martin Stevens explores the extraordinary variety of senses in the animal kingdom, and discusses the cutting-edge science that is shedding light on these secret worlds. Our senses of vision, smell, taste, hearing, and touch are essential for us to respond to threats, communicate and interact with the world around us. This is true for all animals - their sensory systems are key to survival, and without them animals would be completely helpless. However, the sensory systems of other animals work very differently from ours. For example, many animals from spiders to birds can detect and respond to ultraviolet light, to which we are blind. Other animals, including many insects, rodents, and bats can hear high-frequency ultrasonic sounds well beyond our own hearing range. Many other species have sensory systems that we lack completely, such as the magnetic sense of birds, turtles, and other animals, or the electric sense of many fish. These differences in sensory ability have a major bearing on the ways that animals behave and live in different environments, and also affect their evolution and ecology.In this book, Martin Stevens explores the remarkable sensory systems that exist in nature, and what they are used for. Discussing how different animal senses work, he also considers how they evolve, how they are shaped by the environment in which an animal lives, and the pioneering science that has uncovered how animals use their senses. Throughout, he celebrates the remarkable diversity of life, and shows how the study of sensory systems has shed light on some of the most important issues in animal behaviour, physiology, and evolution. He also describes evidence of the disruptive effects of human activities on the way other animals navigate the world.

Cat On The Road To Findout - Yusuf/Cat Stevens

Embark on an extraordinary journey through the life, music and spiritual adventures of Yusuf/Cat Stevens, one of the iconic figures of our time. CAT ON THE ROAD TO FINDOUT is more than a memoir - it''s a profound exploration of identity, faith, and the universal search for meaning.Cat Stevens was launched to fame in the swinging sixties, with chart-topping pop hits like ''Matthew and Son'' and ''The First Cut is the Deepest''. His early career was drastically interrupted by a mortal battle with TB - a turning point that ignited his quest for peace and understanding. Emerging from this experience, he rapidly rose to become one of the most prolific singer-songwriting icons of the seventies, captivating the world with soul-stirring anthems like ''Wild World'', ''Father and Son'', ''Peace Train'', and ''Morning Has Broken''.After exploring Buddhism, Zen, Hinduism, and astrology, in 1975 he again came face-to-face in a dangerous encounter with fate; a near-drowning experience in the ocean led to a massive transformative commitment to the Omniscient Power which miraculously saved him. This was fulfilled when his brother gifted him a copy of the Qur''an. By 1977, he embraced Islam, changed his name to Yusuf Islam, and shocked the world by leaving the music industry, dedicating his life to God, family, and humanitarian work.Yusuf''s inspirational story is one of quest, survival and redemption. With over 100 million records sold and billions of streams, still today, his soulful voice and poetic lyrics continue to inspire, now intertwined with a life of activism and altruism. As a campaigner for faith education, ecological consciousness and humanitarian work, Yusuf has become a global advocate for peace and coexistence.FINDOUT unveils the untold chapters of his remarkable journey, illustrated with dozens of drawings in Yusuf''s own hand. Self-penned with raw honesty and poetic insight, he reflects on the challenges, controversies, and triumphs that have defined his life, offering readers a rare glimpse into the soul of a man who has lived multiple lives in one - finally shedding light on all those hidden ''in-betweens''.

Camera Man - Dana Stevens

Named a Best Book of 2022 by The New Yorker, Publishers Weekly, and NPR In this genre-defying “new kind of history” (The New Yorker), the chief film critic of Slate places comedy legend and acclaimed filmmaker Buster Keaton’s unique creative genius in the context of his time.Born the same year as the film industry in 1895, Buster Keaton began his career as the child star of a family slapstick act reputed to be the most violent in vaudeville. Beginning in his early twenties, he enjoyed a decade-long stretch as the director, star, stuntman, editor, and all-around mastermind of some of the greatest silent comedies ever made, including Sherlock Jr., The General, and The Cameraman. Even through his dark middle years as a severely depressed alcoholic finding work on the margins of show business, Keaton’s life had a way of reflecting the changes going on in the world around him. He found success in three different mediums at their creative peak: first vaudeville, then silent film, and finally the experimental early years of television. Over the course of his action-packed seventy years on earth, his life trajectory intersected with those of such influential figures as the escape artist Harry Houdini, the pioneering Black stage comedian Bert Williams, the television legend Lucille Ball, and literary innovators like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Samuel Beckett. In Camera Man, film critic Dana Stevens pulls the lens out from Keaton’s life and work to look at concurrent developments in entertainment, journalism, law, technology, the political and social status of women, and the popular understanding of addiction. With erudition and sparkling humor, Stevens hopscotches among disciplines to bring us up to the present day, when Keaton’s breathtaking (and sometimes life-threatening) stunts remain more popular than ever as they circulate on the internet in the form of viral gifs. Far more than a biography or a work of film history, Camera Man is a wide-ranging meditation on modernity that paints a complex portrait of a one-of-a-kind artist.

Collected Poems - Wallace Stevens

This collection of the work of one of the greatest modern poets was first published in America in 1954. The Collected Poems was prepared by Stevens himself, shortly before his death, and contains all of his published books of poetry, covering more than four decades: from the brilliant rococo lyrics of Harmonium, through the large-scale orchestrations of his middle years, to the magnificent austere lyrics of ''The Rock'', which first appeared in the Collected Poems, Stevens''s poetry meditated unremittingly upon the relation between the world and the imagination. ''He seems to me - and sems to my readers, I am sure - one of the true poets of our century, someone whom the world will keep on reading just as it keeps on listening to Vivaldi or Scarlatti, looking at Tiepolo or Poussin. His best poems are the poetry of a man fully human - of someone sympathetic, magnanimous, both brightly and deeply intelligent; the poems see, feel, and think with equal success; they treat with mastery that part of existence which allows of mastery, and experience the rest of it with awe or sadness or delight.'' - Randall Jarrell, Poetry and the Age''One of the most considerable poets of the last hundred years...Poems that are as distinguished as any written in this century.'' - Thom Gunn, London Magazine

The Australian - Emma Smith-Stevens

“What a seductive voice; what a smart and charming book! And, most of all, what a wonderful new writer we have in Emma Smith-Stevens.”—Lauren Groff, author of Fates and FuriesA young man known as "the Australian" journeys between New York and Melbourne on a quest of self-discovery in this poignant exploration of loneliness, love, and fatherhood In her humorous and emotionally resonant debut, Emma Smith-Stevens follows the exploits and evolution of a young man––known only as “the Australian”––over the course of a dozen years, from his time posing for tourist photos as Superman to his life in New York, chasing fame and fortune. Married to a woman he barely knows and struggling to forge a relationship with his son, the Australian travels between the US and Melbourne, seeking to reconnect with his deceased parents through his father’s Australian Outdoor Geographic magazines and the Dreaming Tracks, sacred landmarks his mother longed to explore.Through this quest for self-discovery, the Australian becomes both more and less enigma: “the idea of this guy you could find in any city, a hostel anywhere in the world, smiling, suntanned, hauling a backpack.” A poignant and at times satirical meditation on masculinity, fatherhood, isolation, New York City, fame, and loss, The Australian examines the human tendency to fall in love with the idea of another person and the importance of knowing one’s essential nature.

Che Guevarův pražský příběh - Abel Posse

Román předního argentinského spisovatele a bývalého velvyslance v Československu oživuje příběh pobytu Ernesta Che Guevary v Československu , který je dodnes zahalen tajemstvím. V životopise Ernesta Che Guevary stále zůstává neprobádaná významná kapitola: jeho tajný pobyt v Praze v první polovině roku 1966. Revolucionář tu pod falešnou totožností a se změněným vzhledem strávil několik měsíců po krachu své revoluční mise v Kongu a před posledním tažením v Bolívii, kde 9. října 1967 skončil i jeho život. Z Prahy se vší pravděpodobností řídil přípravu bolivijské akce, která se podle jeho představ měla stát ohniskem revoluční přeměny Latinské Ameriky a definitivního světového střetu mezi kapitalismem a socialismem. Nejasné epizody z Guevarova života využil argentinský prozaik Abel Posse k pokusu přiblížit se revolucionářově osobnosti a jeho každodennímu životu v Praze. Guevara se tehdy skutečně stýkal v kavárně Slavia s mladými českými hispanisty a studenty pražské Filosofické fakulty, kteří ho zasvěcovali do socialistické reality, přesto zůstává v souvislosti s jeho utajenou návštěvou mnoho nezodpovězených otázek: Konfrontoval se Guevara s každodenností československého socialismu? A jak to, že neexistují žádné Guevarovy osobní záznamy z Prahy, jestliže si skutečný Che za každé situace vedl deník, psal úvahy a poznámky?

Z Chebu do Manětína - Konec války pro Trident - Bohuslav Balcar

Tato publikace z oblasti literatury faktu je 18. samostatnou částí edice Osvobození 1945 v projektu "Z Normandie přes Ardeny až k nám" knižního nakladatelství Resonance. Jejím autorem je stejně jako u všech předcházejících Bohuslav Balcar. 17 již vydaných titulů se zabývá historií osvobození různých míst v západních Čechách v r. 1945. Publikace "Z Chebu do Manětína" popisuje bojovou cestu jedné z divizí Armády USA - 97. pěší divize nesoucí přezdívku Trident, která na území dnešní České republiky začala dobytím Chebu, pokra-čovala přes Domažlicko a Tachovsko, a skončila až v Manětíně. Po dobytí Chebu bojové akce v okolí ještě pokračovaly, a to za účasti 1. US pěší divize, jíž je v publikaci také věnováno místo, stejně jako části Čs. samostatné obrněné brigády, která se v té době také přisunula z Francie na české území. Vedle podrobného popisu boje o Cheb je pozornost věnována i osvobozením dalších míst, na nichž se 97. US pěší divize podílela - Domažlicko, Tachov, Mariánské Lázně, Bor, Stříbro, Bezdružice, Nečtiny, Manětín. Vysoký stupeň informovanosti zajišťuje podrobný chronologický přehled bojových akcí obou výše jmenovaných amerických divizí po jednotlivých dnech a členěný přes pluky až do nej-nižších organizačních jednotek (přes prapory a roty často až do jednotlivých čet). Čtenář získá i po-drobnou informaci o nepřátelských silách, které kladly osvoboditelským jednotkám odpor. K dokonalému přehledu o vývoji bojové situace přispívají i mapy přibližující ji v rozhodujících dnech - od bitvy o Cheb až ke Dni vítězství. Zcela svébytným útvarem v textové části publikace jsou výňatky z deníků manětínského děkana Josefa Wonky, zachycující vývoj situace v tomto západočeském venkovském městě od okupace po-hraničí v r.1938 až po příchod osvoboditelských amerických a sovětských vojsk. Výňatky jsou doplněny odborným komentářem dvou badatelů. Fotografická příloha především zahrnuje historické snímky dokreslující bojovou cestu protagonistky celé knižní publikace - 97.US pěší divize.

The Roads to Sata - Alan Booth

''A memorable, oddly beautiful book'' Wall Street Journal''A marvellous glimpse of the Japan that rarely peeks through the country''s public image'' Washington PostOne sunny spring morning in the 1970s, an unlikely Englishman set out on a pilgrimage that would take him across the entire length of Japan. Travelling only along small back roads, Alan Booth travelled on foot from Soya, the country''s northernmost tip, to Sata in the extreme south, traversing three islands and some 2,000 miles of rural Japan. His mission: ''to come to grips with the business of living here,'' after having spent most of his adult life in Tokyo.The Roads to Sata is a wry, witty, inimitable account of that prodigious trek, vividly revealing the reality of life in off-the-tourist-track Japan. Journeying alongside Booth, we encounter the wide variety of people who inhabit the Japanese countryside - from fishermen and soldiers, to bar hostesses and school teachers, to hermits, drunks and the homeless. We glimpse vast stretches of coastline and rambling townscapes, mountains and motorways; watch baseball games and sunrises; sample trout and Kilamanjaro beer, hear folklore, poems and smutty jokes. Throughout, we enjoy the wit and insight of a uniquely perceptive guide, and more importantly, discover a new face of an often-misunderstood nation.

Silk Roads - Susan Whitfield

As world powers realign their cultural, economic and political outlooks, there is no better time to consider how Afro-Eurasia’s complex network of ancient trade routes – which spanned the vastness of the steppe, vertiginous mountain ranges, fertile river plains and forbidding deserts across the continents and on to the seas beyond – fostered economic activity and cultural, political and technological communication. From silk to slaves, fashion to music, religion to science the movement of interaction of goods, people and ideas was crucial to the flourishing of peoples and their cultures across this vast region. Edited by Susan Whitfield, an established authority on the subject, with contributions from over 80 leading scholars from across the globe, Silk Roads situates the ancient routes against the landscapes that defined them, to reveal the raw materials that they produced, the means of travel that were employed to traverse them and the communities that were shaped by them. Organized by terrain, from steppe to desert to ocean, each section includes detailed maps, a historical overview, thematic essays and features showcasing art, buildings and archaeological discoveries. A wealth of photographs reveals the breathtaking and often forbidding landscapes encountered by travellers and traders through the millennia. With one section inscribed as a World Heritage Corridor by UNESCO in 2014 and others to follow, and China claiming the Silk Roads as the precursor of its Belt Road Initiative, this network of ancient trade routes and the interaction along them has never been of greater interest or importance than today. This beautiful publication honours the astonishing diversity in the way cultures advance and flourish not in spite of their differences, but because of them.

Che and Medicine - Ernesto Che Guevara

Before Ernesto Che Guevara became ''Che,'' before he traveled Latin America, before he joined Fidel in Cuba, he was a medical school student. In 1956 he wrote to his mother before leaving to go and join the guerilla expedition to Cuba: ''My path seems to be slowly but surely diverging from that of clinical medicine, but not so far that I have lost my nostalgia for hospitals. What I told you about the professorship in physiology was a lie, but not a big one. It was a lie because I never planned to accept it, but the offer was real and there was a strong possibility that they were going to give it to me, as I had an interview and everything. Anyway, that''s all history. Saint Carlos Karl Marx has made a new recruit.'' He had started a book on the role of the doctor in Latin America, a work he fully intended to continue writing. It remained incomplete at the time of his death in Bolivia at the age of thirty-nine, just eleven years later.
