Inhabitability studies, which apply to living conditions and ways of life, are essential in space research. The title of this collective work, Ways to Leave Earth defines its spectrum as well as its scope, a very topical issue at a time of unprecedented ecological crisis. To answer this question, the authors start off from writings devoted to living in space, adding a historical and critical perspective. Indeed, this research is steeped in technical and cultural history, from the first studies carried out for manned space vehicles (V2 rockets) to more recent studies associated with life in confinement during future voyages to Mars (Mars 500). This history also has its blind spots, through its globally technical approach and its utopian or uchronic imaginary. In order to respond critically to these different pitfalls, the position adopted in this book is threefold: examining the methods and knowledge built up by space research; re-materialising the experience of space by considering it from the perspective of the objects it develops and the images it produces,and reconsidering living in space based on concrete and sensitive experiences, linking the terrestrial to the extra-terrestrial.

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.

Audiokniha: Kompletní portrét nejbrutálnějšího sériového vraha Ameriky. 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 ... Unknown localization key: "more"

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 ...

A revealing biography of Anne Frank, exploring both her life and the impact of her extraordinary diary “With sensitivity and assiduous research, [Franklin] constructs a vivid cultural history that advocates for a reevaluation of Frank.”—New Yorker, “Best Books of the Year” “Trenchant. . . . An essential look at the diarist’s legacy.”—Publishers Weekly In this innovative biography, Ruth Franklin explores the transformation of Anne Frank (1929–1945) from ordinary teenager to icon, shedding new light on the young woman whose diary of her years in hiding, now translated into more than seventy languages, is the most widely read work of literature to arise from the Holocaust.  Comprehensively researched but experimental in spirit, this book chronicles and interprets Anne’s life as a Jew in Amsterdam during World War II while also telling the story of the diary—its multiple drafts, its discovery, its reception, and its message for today’s world. Writing alongside Anne rather than over her, Franklin explores the day-to-day perils of the Holocaust in the Netherlands as well as Anne’s ultimate fate, restoring her humanity and agency in all their messiness, heroism, and complexity.  With antisemitism once again in the news, The Many Lives of Anne Frank takes a ...

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.
