The dramatic and shocking events of the Peasants'' Revolt of 1381 are to be the backdrop to Juliet Barker''s latest book: a snapshot of what everyday life was like for ordinary people living in the middle ages. The same highly successful techniques she deployed inAgincourt and Conquest will this time be brought to bear on civilian society, from the humblest serf forced to provide slave-labour for his master in the fields, to the prosperous country goodwife brewing, cooking and spinning her distaff and the ambitious burgess expanding his business and his mental horizons in the town.The book will explore how and why such a diverse and unlikely group of ordinary men and women from every corner of England united in armed rebellion against church and state to demand a radical political agenda which, had it been implemented, would have fundamentally transformed English society and anticipated the French Revolution by four hundred years. The book will not only provide an important reassessment of the revolt itself but will also be an illuminating and original study of English medieval life at the time.

"An essential book for anyone interested in this most fascinating era of British history." - Dan Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Plantagenets A lively, new and sweeping history of the rise of the state in Plantagenet England.Between 1199 and 1399, English politics was high drama. These two centuries witnessed savage political blood-letting – including civil war, deposition, the murder of kings and the ruthless execution of rebel lords – as well as international warfare, devastating national pandemic, economic crisis and the first major peasant uprising in English history.Arise, England uses the six Plantagenet kings who ruled during these two centuries to explore England’s emergent statehood. Drawing on original accounts and arresting new research, it draws resonances between government, international relations, and the abilities, egos and ambitions of political actors, then and now. Colourful and complicated, and by turns impressive and hateful, the six kings stride through the story; but arguably the greatest character is the emerging English state itself.

Romeo and Juliet is routinely called “the world’s greatest love story”, as though it is all about romance. The play features some of the most lyrical passages in all of drama, and the lovers are young, beautiful, and ardent. But when we look at the play, the lyricism and the romance are not really what drive things along. It is true that Romeo, especially early on in the play, acts like a young man determined to take his place in an immortal tale of love. Everything he says is romantic – but rather like an anniversary card is romantic. His words propel nothing, or nothing but sarcastic admonitions from his friends to forget about love and to treat women as they should be treated, with careless physical appetite. The world we have entered is rapacious more than romantic. Everyone knows something of this, from the film versions of the story if nothing else. Romeo and Juliet must fight for their love inside a culture of stupid hatreds. But it is not a simple case of love versus war, or the city against the couple. If it were, it would nicely reinforce clichés about true love, fighting against the odds. In ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Travis Barker’s soul-baring memoir chronicles the highlights and lowlights of the renowned drummer’s art and his life, including the harrowing plane crash that nearly killed him and his traumatic road to recovery—a fascinating never-before-told-in-full story of personal reinvention grounded in musical salvation and fatherhood.After breaking out as the acclaimed drummer of the multiplatinum punk band Blink-182, everything changed for Travis Barker. But the dark side of rock stardom took its toll: his marriage, chronicled for an MTV reality show, fell apart. Constant touring concealed a serious drug addiction. A reckoning did not truly come until he was forced to face mortality: His life nearly ended in a horrifying plane crash, and then his close friend, collaborator, and fellow crash survivor DJ AM died of an overdose.In this blunt, driving memoir, Barker ruminates on rock stardom, fatherhood, death, loss, and redemption, sharing stories shaped by decades’ worth of hard-earned insights. His pulsating memoir is as energetic as his acclaimed beats. It brings to a close the first chapters of a well-lived life, inspiring readers to follow the rhythms of their own hearts and find meaning in their lives.

Novodobá hrdinka svého příběhu provází z nemoci do moci. Juliet Navrátilová na sebe upozornila svou první knihou Myslet srdcem - psychedelická cesta Latinskou Amerikou, která se stala bestsellerem. Už tam zaujala otevřeností, s jakou sdílí své vlastní krize i vize. A právě o tom pojednává tato její nová kniha. Juliet v ní jde až na dřeň svého mimořádně dobrodružného a zajímavého života poznamenaného rodovou zátěží, výchovou i traumatickými událostmi či zraněními. Můžeme ji číst jako průvodce Londýnem i světem, kam se ve svých devatenácti letech vydala ze střední Moravy. Můžeme ji číst jako průvodce zráním a procitáním mladé, odvážné a nemocné ženy. A můžeme ji číst jako průvodce uzdravením, které se může stát inspirací a pomocí pro každého, kdo si sám prochází nebo prošel jakoukoliv krizí. Tohoto uzdravení však nemohla dosáhnout bez porozumění cyklům a fázím vlastního přechodového rituálu. Během dlouhé psychospirituální krize se Juliet naučila přijímat svou citlivost a vyléčila se z traumat. Teprve skrze dovršení osobní transformace objevila ve své citlivosti nástroj k vyléčení sebe i druhých.
