Passionate, independent-minded nonfiction from the international bestselling author of ‘The Corrections’.Jonathan Franzen''s ‘Freedom’ was the literary sensation of 2010, whilst ‘The Corrections’ was the best-loved and most written-about novel the previous decade. ‘How to be Alone’, is a collection of the personal essays and painstaking, often humorous reportage that have earned Franzen a wide and loyal readership, including what has come to be known as ''The Harper''s Essay'', Franzen''s controversial 1996 look at the fate of the novel. From the sex-advice industry to the way a supermax prison works, from his father''s struggle with Alzheimer''s disease to a rueful account of Franzen''s brief tenure as an Oprah Winfrey author, each piece wrestles with Franzen''s familiar themes: the erosion of civic life and private dignity, and the hidden persistence of loneliness, in postmodern imperial America.These collected essays record what Franzen calls ''a movement away from an angry and frightened isolation toward an acceptance – even a celebration – of being a reader and a writer.'' They voice a wry distrust of the claims of technology and psychology, the love-hate relationship with consumerism, and the subversive belief in the tragic shape of the individual life that help make Franzen one of the ...

The climate crisis is here. Our chance to stop it has come and gone, but this doesn’t have to mean the world is ending.‘If you care about the planet, and about the people and animals who live on it, there are two ways to think about this. You can keep on hoping that catastrophe is preventable, and feel ever more frustrated or enraged by the world’s inaction. Or you can accept that disaster is coming, and begin to rethink what it means to have hope.’The honesty and realism of Jonathan Franzen’s writings on climate have been widely denounced and just as widely celebrated. Here, in his definitive statement on the subject, Franzen confronts the world’s failure to avert destabilising climate change and takes up the question: Now what?

A mesmeric, harrowing and uplifting childhood memoir that will open up much-needed conversations about identity and mental health''This will blow you away''- Stylist''Joly''s prose is sensitive and heartbreaking...darkly compelling'' - Business Post''An extraordinary and thought-provoking memoir'' - Belfast TelegraphIt was an ordinary day in 2016. In Gatwick Airport, Jonathan and his wife Anna were having breakfast with their two little children while waiting for their flight to be called. And then it happened, a familiar sensation that Jonathan hadn''t had for decades: an out-of-body experience that transported him to another place, the safe place he used to escape to in his mind when he was a boy. Because growing up in conservative 1980s Dublin, where there was little tolerance for children who were ''different'', Jonathan Joly was, indeed, a different sort of child: creative, expressive, and - on the inside - a girl. The limitations of the people around him to understand his differences led to years of tyrannical bullying and abuse, forcing him to withdraw within himself to the point of clinical absence. His only chance for survival was the inner world he created for himself, rich with loving and supportive friends and playmates, that only he could see. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Audiokniha: Ve svém zatím nejvíce autobiografickém románu se Paulo Coelho vrací do svého mládí, do doby přelomu 60. a 70. let 20. století. Mladý Brazilec Paulo a Nizozemka Karla se setkávají v Amsterdamu, tehdejším ohnisku hnutí hippies, který se stává jedním z cílů Paulovy první cesty za moře. Namísto plánovaném cestování po Evropě se však Paulo nechá přesvědčit a nastoupí s Karlou do autobusu směřujícího do Káthmándú. Román je na jedné straně kronikou cesty Paula a ostatních spolucestujících, na druhé straně svědectvím o bouřlivých šedesátých letech a myšlenkách, kterými byly neseny. Hipík je knihou o lidech, kteří tápou a hledají, ale hledají poctivě. Je příběhem těch, kteří poslechli výzvu: „Prodej své vědomosti a kup si místo ve své duši, které naplníš absolutnem. Protože moudrost mužů a žen je bláznovství před Bohem.“ Paulo Coelho (1947) Je považován za jednoho z nejvlivnějších spisovatelů dnešní doby, uveřejnil své knihy v 168 zemích v překladu do 80 jazyků, jejich náklad přesáhl počet 150 milionů výtisků a patří tak mezi jednoho ze tří nejprodávanějších autorů na světě.

The Physio is an incredibly powerful, and totally unforgettable, narrative that explores the present and the past of author, Jonathan Smith, a man whose life has been upended by Parkinsons - a condition that threatens to take away his independence and identity. As he painstakingly relearns to perform the simplest tasks with his left hand, he is forced to confront his limitations and the reality of his condition. But it is within the walls of the physiotherapy room that Jonathan finds an unexpected ally in Clare, his physiotherapist - whose expertise and adventurous spirit challenge him to push beyond his boundaries. As Jonathan grapples with the frustrations of daily life, Clare becomes more than just a therapist; she becomes a mentor and confidante. Their relationship, rooted in mutual respect and understanding, blossoms as they share stories, fears, and laughter - each session a step closer to Jonathan''s physical and emotional healing. But the book is also a vivid account of the books and plays that he has written as well as those that he has read, and one begins to understand that this is not just a book about healing but an autobiography, a total life, viewed through the lens ...

Jonathan Becker: Lost Time is a fitting legacy for one of the true photographic masters of our age.’ – Graydon Carter, founder and co-editor of Air Mail and former editor of Vanity Fair The first retrospective monograph on photographer Jonathan Becker, one of the great visual storytellers of our time Over the course of five decades, Jonathan Becker has produced a body of evocative photographic work that documents lives of the twentieth-century beau monde.

A formally audacious and deeply moving memoir in three timeframes that confronts the defining trauma of the twentieth century, and its effects on a father and son. In 1939, Jonathan Lichtenstein’s father Hans escaped Nazi-occupied Berlin as a child refugee on the Kindertransport. Almost every member of his family died after Kristallnacht, and, arriving in England to make his way in the world alone, Hans turned his back on his German Jewish culture. Growing up in post-war rural Wales where the conflict was never spoken of, Jonathan and his siblings were at a loss to understand their father’s relentless drive and sometimes eccentric behaviour. As Hans enters old age, he and Jonathan set out to retrace his journey back to Berlin. Published to coincide with the eightieth anniversary, this is a highly compelling account of a father and son’s attempt to emerge from the shadows of history.For readers who enjoyed East West Street, The Berlin Shadow is a beautiful memoir about time, trauma and family.

V částečně autobiografickém románu Hipík se Paulo Coelho vrací do svého mládí, do bouřlivé doby přelomu 60. a 70. let 20. století. Na pozadí hlavní linie vyprávění, líčícího cestu dvou mladých lidí - Paula a Karly - za duchovním poznáním do Nepálu, sledujeme celosvětové hnutí hippies i dramatické události jara roku 1968 ve Francii. Paulo a Karla se setkávají v Amsterodamu, kde Paulo doufá najít nové životní impulzy, nakonec se však nechá přesvědčit a nastoupí s Karlou do autobusu směřujícího do Káthmándú. Dlouhá cesta a nevelký okruh cestujících poskytují autorovi prostor pro líčení dalších událostí i lidských osudů.

Román plný napětí nás zavádí na Filmový festival v Cannes, kde se schází takzvaná Supertřída – lidé, kteří se proslavili ve vysněném světě módy a filmu. Někteří z nich se dostali až na samotný vrchol a obávají se, že své skvělé postavení ztratí. V sázce jsou peníze, moc a sláva – tedy hodnoty, pro které je většina lidí ochotna udělat cokoliv a za jakoukoliv cenu. Na tomto moderním „jarmarku marnosti“ se setkávají ruský milionář Igor, král módy Hamid, původem z Blízkého východu, americká herečka Gabriela, dychtící po hlavní roli, ctižádostivý policejní vyšetřovatel Savoy, který doufá, že vyřeší největší případ svého života, a Yasmine, modelka stojící na počátku úspěšné kariéry.

There''s a Seattle urban legend about something rare and unusual in the snow at 14,000 feet - not a Sasquatch but a booted, nude woman atop Mt. Rainier. This is the story behind the legend. Paula Engborg is an energetic, 41-year-old divorced mom in search of Prince Charming when one day she finds a new sport: The Climb. Paula has barely ascended a stepladder, so why the desire to climb mountains? Unlike other books about climbing, A WAY UP isn''t about the highest mountains, famous climbers, or exotic locations. Instead, it''s the experiences of the feisty author, who, in middle age, finds a new rush. Here, the mountains in the Pacific NW and rock walls in the Southwest come alive. You''ll feel the bitter cold, the rigours of training, and share Paula''s dream of making it to the top. Along the way this self-proclaimed ''climb-aholic'' defies the odds to become a member of Mountain Rescue, makes and breaks friends, and falls in love with Clint, a man with a penchant for motorcycle rallies. Paula''s story is a literal tale of hard knocks, told with warmth and unflinching detail.
