BBC DYNASTIES CAMERAMAN'S ENTHRALLING STORY OF EMPEROR PENGUIN LIFE'Part adventure story, part evocation of the last untouched place on Earth, this is mesmerising.' Daily Mail - Books of the Year Chris Packham says:'A dramatic saga forged by passion, honesty and a rare skill as a naturalist and film-maker. Twelve men have walked on the moon. But how many have spent an entire season with the Emperors in Antarctica? Maybe more, likely less. Lindsay McCrae has - and this is his wonderful and frank story. There are lines of penguins and blizzards, but there's also the emotional turmoil of being separated from his home, his new wife and his unborn child. All his musings and observations combine to produce a compelling tale of the man, those extraordinary birds and that lonely place at the end of the earth. So turn off the heating, put on your gloves and head deep south into a frozen land of dreams and nightmares, all played out in the world of beautiful Emperors'~'[This] remarkable memoir is rich in the technological and logistical challenges of filming in extreme conditions. But most gripping are his fine-tuned observations of these beautiful metre-high birds, which must survive and raise their young in temperatures as low as -60?(deg)C' - NatureWhen the BBC asked BAFTA-winning cameraman Lindsay McCrae to go to Antarctica to film emperor penguins he was thrilled. After discussing it with his wife Becky they agreed that, although it would mean him being away for 11 months, he should do it. But then she became pregnant and it seemed like the worst idea in the world - not just to miss the birth of his first child, but the first 7 months of his life. Weeks of anguished discussions followed before they decided he should go because it was his dream project and the chance might never come again. My Penguin Year recounts Lindsay's adventure to the end of the Earth, filming the most resilient creatures in nature, while coping with being over 15,000km away from Becky and all the comforts of home - something which almost proved too much. Out of that experience he has written an unprecedented portrait of Antarctica's most extraordinary residents, the emperor penguins. They march up to 100 miles over solid ice to reach their breeding grounds. They choose to breed in the depths of the worst winter on the planet; and in an unusual role reversal, the males incubate the eggs, fasting for over 100 days to ensure they introduce their chicks safely into their new frozen world. And they are uniquely vulnerable to the unprecedented melting of the polar ice cap.In weaving their story with his epic journey, Lindsay has created a masterpiece of natural observation - and a deeply moving tale of human endeavour in the harshest environment on the planet.

This novel biography brings Marcus Aurelius (121–180 CE) to life for a new generation of readers by exploring the emperor’s fascinating psychological journey. Donald J. Robertson examines Marcus’s relationships with key figures in his life, such as his mother, Domitia Lucilla, and the emperor Hadrian, as well as his Stoic tutors. He draws extensively on Marcus’s own Meditations and correspondence, and he examines the emperor’s actions as detailed in the Augustan History and other ancient texts.Marcus Aurelius struggled to reconcile his philosophy and moral values with the political pressures he faced as emperor at the height of Roman power.Robertson examines Marcus’s attitude toward slavery and the moral dilemma posed by capturing enemies in warfare; his attitude toward women; the role of Stoicism in shaping his response to the threat of civil war; the treatment of Christians under his rule; and the naming of his notorious son Commodus as his successor. Throughout, the Meditations is used to shed light on the mind of the emperor—his character, values, and motives—as Robertson skillfully weaves together Marcus’s inner journey as a philosopher with the outer events of his life as a Roman emperor.

The Penguin Modern Classics edition of Ryszard Kapuscinski''s The Emperor is translated by William R. Brand and Katarzyna Mroczkowska-Brand, with an introduction by Neal Ascherton.After the deposition of Haile Selassie in 1974, which ended the ancient rule of the Abyssinian monarchy, Ryszard Kapuscinski travelled to Ethiopia and sought out surviving courtiers to tell their stories. Here, their eloquent and ironic voices depict the lavish, corrupt world they had known - from the rituals, hierarchies and intrigues at court to the vagaries of a ruler who maintained absolute power over his impoverished people. They describe his inexorable downfall as the Ethiopian military approach, strange omens appear in the sky and courtiers vanish, until only the Emperor and his valet remain in the deserted palace, awaiting their fate. Dramatic and mesmerising, The Emperor is one of the great works of reportage and a haunting epitaph on the last moments of a dying regime.Ryszard Kapuscinski (1932-2007) was born in Pinsk, now in Belarus. Kapuscinski was the pre-eminent writer among Polish reporters. His best-known book is a reportage-novel of the decline of Haile Selassie''s anachronistic regime in Ethiopia - The Emperor, which has been translated into many languages. Shah of Shahs, about the last Shah of Iran, and Imperium, about the last days of the Soviet Union, have enjoyed similar success. If you enjoyed The Emperor, you might like Norman Mailer''s The Fight, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''Stunning ... a magical eloquence''John Updike, New Yorker''[The Emperor] transcends reportage, becoming a nightmare of power ...

Silné a inspirativní osobní vzpomínky bývalé první dámy Spojených států amerických. Audioknihu Můj příběh napsala autorka: Michelle Obamová, čte: Zuzana Stivínová. Malá Michelle Robinsonová vyrůstala v jižní části Chicaga, bydlela ve společném pokoji s bratrem Craigem a hrávala si s ním v nedalekém parku. Její rodiče, Fraser a Marian Robinsonovi, ji odmalička vedli k nebojácnosti a otevřenosti. Postupně ji život zavál mnohem dál: přes kampus Princetonské univerzity, kde poprvé pocítila, jaké to je být jediná černoška v přednáškové aule, až do proskleného kancelářského věžáku na post vysoce postavené firemní právničky. Tady se také jednoho letního dopoledne objevil student práv jménem Barack Obama. V knize Můj příběh Michelle Obamová líčí počáteční léta svého manželství, kdy se snažila sladit práci a rodinu se strmě stoupající politickou kariérou svého muže. S grácií, humorem a nevídanou upřímností nám nabízí sugestivní pohled do zákulisí oněch chvil, kdy její rodina přelomovým způsobem vstoupila na světovou scénu, i na osm historických let, jež prožila v Bílém domě - na to, jak se postupně seznamovala se svou zemí a její země se seznamovala s ní. Michelle Obamová nás ve svých vzpomínkách nechá nahlédnout do duše jedinečné, průkopnické osobnosti, jež se snaží žít nearanžovaný život a své síly i hlas propůjčuje do služeb vyšších ideálů. Ve zvukové podobě se interpretce Zuzaně Stivínové podařilo stát se jakoby alter egem autorky, takže s nebývalou přesvědčivostí a invencí vypráví její životní příběh.

V inspirativním titulu SVĚTLO V NÁS bývalá první dáma Michelle Obamová navazuje na svůj memoárový bestseller Můj příběh, sdílí praktickou moudrost i účinné strategie pro udržování vnitřní naděje a rovnováhy v dnešním nanejvýš nejistém světě. Na velké životní výzvy možná neexistují prostá řešení ani pádné odpovědi, ale Michelle Obamová věří, že všichni můžeme nalézt a využívat soubor nástrojů, které nám pomohou lépe se vyrovnávat se změnami a zachovat si stabilitu v překotné době. V knize Světlo v nás navazuje se čtenáři otevřený a upřímný dialog a zabývá se otázkami, s nimiž mnozí z nás zápolí: Jak si vybudovat trvalé a upřímné vztahy? Jak objevit sílu a pospolitost i přes rozdílné názory? Jak se vypořádat s pochybnostmi o sobě samých či pocity bezmoci? Co dělat, když už je toho na nás moc? Michelle Obamová nabízí čtenářům nové příběhy a bystré postřehy na téma změn, výzev a moci, včetně svého přesvědčení, že když se rozsvítíme pro ostatní, osvětlíme tím bohatství a potenciál okolního světla, odhalíme hlubší pravdy a nové cesty pokroku. Vychází ze svých zkušeností matky, dcery, manželky, přítelkyně a první dámy a prozrazuje, jaké návyky a principy si vypracovala, aby se úspěšně přizpůsobila změnám a překonala rozmanité překážky - dělí se s námi o získanou moudrost, jež jí pomáhá dál psát "její příběh". Popisuje ty nejužitečnější praktiky, mezi něž patří například začínat den radostně, nesnižovat se k podlostem a vytvořit si vlastní "společenství kuchyňského stolu" z důvěryhodných přátel a moudrých lidí. Se svým typickým humorem, otevřeností a porozuměním se také zabývá rasovými, genderovými a dalšími společenskými otázkami, aby čtenářům pomohla překonat obavy, čerpat sílu ze své komunity a nebát se žít. "Když rozpoznáme vlastní světlo, dokážeme ho použít," říká Michelle Obamová. Inspirativní kombinací silných příběhů a užitečných rad Světlo v nás podněcuje konverzace a vede čtenáře k zamyšlení nad vlastním životem a nalezení zdrojů spokojenosti, a také pomáhá navázat smysluplné vztahy v rozbouřeném světě.

The life and times of the worst Roman emperor of all.What happens when you put the Roman Empire in the hands of a teenage boy? Discover the scandalous life and times of Rome''s worst emperor. ''Buy the book; it''s very entertaining.'' David Aaronovitch, The Times On 8 June 218 AD, a fourteen-year-old Syrian boy, egged on by his grandmother, led an army to battle in a Roman civil war. Against all expectations, he was victorious. Varius Avitus Bassianus, known to the modern world as Heliogabalus, was proclaimed emperor. The next four years were to be the strangest in the history of the empire. Heliogabalus humiliated the prestigious Senators and threw extravagant dinner parties for lower-class friends. He ousted Jupiter from his summit among the gods and replaced him with Elagabal. He married a Vestal Virgin – twice. Rumours abounded that he was a prostitute. In the first biography of Heliogabalus in over half a century, Harry Sidebottom unveils the high drama of sex, religion, power and culture in Ancient Rome as we’ve never seen it before. ***** A Financial Times, BBC History and Spectator Book of the Year ''Combining the pace of a novelist, the training of a scholar and the instincts of a true historian, this is a wonderful exploration of the Roman world under its strangest emperor.'' Adrian Goldsworthy, author of Pax Romana ''The decadence, debauchery and sexual promiscuity that marked the adolescent’s time on the imperial throne make for a rollicking read.'' Daily Mail ''Ancient history was never less dry than in Harry Sidebottom’s superbly entertaining and always scholarly account of the reign of Heliogabalus... There is something for every reader: sex, politics, scandals and a compelling portrait of imperial society and culture.'' Financial Times

''The following year Qin unified all under Heaven and the title of August Emperor was immediately adopted.''The short-lived Qin dynasty unified China in 221 BC and created an imperial legacy that lasted until 1911. The extraordinary story of the First Emperor, founder of the dynasty, is told in the Historical Records of Sima Qian, the Grand Historiographer and the most famous Chinese historian. He describes the Emperor''s birth and the assassination attempt on his life, as well as the political and often brutal events that led to the founding of the dynasty and its aftermath. Sima Qian recounts the building of the Great Wall, the ''burning of the books'', and the construction of the First Emperor''s magnificent tomb, a tomb now world famous since the discovery of the terracotta warriors in 1974. Sima Qian''s love of anecdote ensures that his history is never dull, and Raymond Dawson''s fluent translation captures his lively and vivid style. Chronicling recent archaeological developments and questioning Sima Qian''s biases, K. E. Brashier''s preface highlights the importance of the Grand Historiographer''s account and Dawson''s translation in the twenty-first century. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
