English Journey - Priestley J. B.

‘The finest book ever written about England and the English’ Stuart Maconie‘J. B. Priestley is one of our literary icons of the 20th Century and it is time that we all became re-acquainted with his genius.’ Dame Judi DenchThree years before George Orwell made his expedition to the far and frozen North in The Road to Wigan Pier, celebrated writer and broadcaster JB Priestley cast his net wider, in a book subtitled ‘a Rambling but Truthful Account of What One Man Saw and Heard and Felt and Thought During a Journey Through England During the Autumn of the Year 1933.’ Appearing first in 1934, it was a huge and immediate success. Today, it still stands as a timeless classic: warm-hearted, intensely patriotic and profound.An account of his journey through England – from Southampton to the Black Country, to the North East and Newcastle, to Norwich and home – English Journey is funny and tender. But it is also a forensic reading of a changing England and a call to arms as passionate as anything in Orwell’s bleak masterpiece. Moreover, it both captured and catalysed the public mood of its time. In capturing and describing an English landscape and people hitherto unseen, writing scathingly about vested interests and underlining the dignity of working people, Priestley influenced the thinking and attitudes of an entire generation and helped formulate a public consensus for change that led to the birth of the welfare state.Prophetic and as relevant today as it was nearly ninety years ago, English Journey is an elegant and readable love letter to a country Priestley finds unfathomable.

Priestley's classic travelogue, English Journey, to explore our national identity and how it has evolved over the last century.On his way, Stuart takes inspiration from the people he meets at bus stops and train stations, cafes and corner shops. Travelling the length of the land, Maconie explores the differences between city and town, north and south, and examines our past and present with affection and insight. Whether he’s passing the boutique hotels of Manchester, the moors of Ilkley or the grand houses of Tynemouth, looking out over misty fens or urban skylines, he shines a light on the people who make these places and asks what the future holds for them.Along the way, he uncovers local heroes and secret histories over early breakfasts and last orders. Through his journey, he lets us see our homes and habits, hopes and eccentricities with fresh eyes. The Full English challenges us to embrace the messy, shifting and diverse nature of England, and to ask ourselves what kind of country we want to be.

Kletba vlkodlačího chlapce. Moldánkovské věže 1. - Chris Priestley

Román autora cyklu Příšerných příběhů se odehrává v typicky britské internátní škole "pro ne právě bystré syny ne zrovna bohatých rodičů", sídlící na středověkém hradě kdesi na venkově. Vyučování vedené poněkud výstředním učitelským sborem naruší nevysvětlitelné události - zjevují se duchové, ztrácejí se pedagogové a památeční předměty, a následkem toho dokonce hrozí, že budou zrušeny vánoční prázdniny. Podaří se žákům rozjet detektivní pátrání, které by tuto katastrofu odvrátilo? Chris Priestley tentokrát s úspěchem vyzkoušel rozvernější notu než v Příšerných příbězích a svou knihu, první svazek rozsáhlejšího cyklu, i sám ilustroval. Chris Priestley je úspěšný autor dětských knih; všech pět titulů vydaných Argem se dočkalo příznivého přijetí i u českých čtenářů. Má v oblibě pochmurnou atmosféru, tajemné postavy a nadpřirozené okolnosti a jeho hrdinové rádi čtou Poea, Wilda, Doyla či Wellse.

Příšerné příběhy strýce Montaguea - Chris Priestley - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Soumrak padá, mlha houstne, vítr kvílí ve větvích.... Nastal ten správný čas navštívit strýčka Montaguea. Strýc Montague žije v rozlehlém ponurém domě, jen se svým sluhou Franzem, kterého nikdy nikdo neviděl. Přestože cesta do jeho sídla vede přes tajuplný les plný zvláštních šepotů a zvuků, Edgar ho navštěvuje moc rád. Strýc Montague zná totiž spoustu strašidelných příběhů, které se přihodily dětem jako on. Jenže s každou novou historkou Edgarův neklid roste. Ve vzduchu visí cosi zlověstného. Domem se nese podivné praskání a kroky, zahrada se noří do mlhy studené jako hrob. Od koho strýc Montague slyšel všechny ty hrůzostrašné příběhy a jak se do jeho domu dostaly předměty, které v jeho příbězích sehrály tak neblahou roli? Strýcova minulost je možná mnohem temnější, než by si Edgar dokázal vůbec představit... Chris Priestley (1958) Narodil se v Hullu, dětství prožil ve Walesu a na Gibraltaru, a dospívání v Newcastlu. Už jako malý chlapec miloval komiksy a rád četl strašidelné příběhy. Ne náhodou nazval hrdinu Příšerných příběhů strýce Montaguea podle svého oblíbeného spisovatele Edgara Allana Poea. Řadu let se živil jako úspěšný ilustrátor, malíř a karikaturista především v novinách a časopisech (mj. The Times nebo The Independent). Jeho první kniha jako autora, Dog Magic! (2000) byla vybrána do užšího výběru pro Children’s Book Award. Od té doby napsal několik knih beletrie, naučné literatury a především knížek pro děti, u nichž nadšení čtenáři s potěšením trnou hrůzou a strachem. Do češtiny byly přeloženy jeho knihy Pan Krátur (2010), inspirovaný slavným Frankensteinem Mary Shelleyové, Příšerné příběhy z temného tunelu (2009), Příšerné příběhy z Černé lodi (2010) a Příšerné příběhy vánoční (2012), které byly v našem vydavatelství natočeny také jako audiokniha. Jan Vondráček (1966) Po studiu na katedře alternativního a loutkového divadla DAMU se stal členem nově vzniklého Dejvického divadla. Odtud odešel spolu s dalšími kolegy do souboru Divadla v Dlouhé. Zde zazářil v celé řadě rolí, za Lelia v Goldoniho Lháři získal Cenu Alfréda Radoka za rok 2005. K divadelním inscenacím rovněž skládá a aranžuje hudbu. Výborně zpívá, hraje na několik hudebních nástrojů a objevuje se v televizi a ve filmu (Sametoví vrazi, Pokoj v duši, Příběh kmotra). Intenzivně se také věnuje dabingu, jeho hlas se stal známý především díky seriálu Mentalista, kde mluví hlavní postavu Patrika Janea . V roce 2010 obdržel za tento výkon diváckou Cenu Františka Filipovského. Viktor Kuzník (1997) Student třetího ročníku činoherního herectví na DAMU. Za roli čtrnáctiletého Williama s dětskou mozkovou obrnou v rozhlasové hře Krásný mladý obludy byl nominován v anketě Českého rozhlasu Neviditelný herec. Hostuje v Divadle A. Dvořáka v Příbrami ve inscenaci Obsluhoval jsem anglického krále (hlavní role Jan Dítě), dále hostuje v Divadle U Valšů a v Divadle Kolowrat, kde působí s nově vznikajícím spolkem Činohra 16:20.

Poklad Zlaté lebky. Moldánkovské věže 2 - Chris Priestley

Zdánlivě nudné Moldánkovské věže se opět stávají dějištěm záhad, napínavých pátrání a nemilosrdných slovních soubojů. Zdejší škola pro ne právě bystré syny ne právě bohatých rodičů je na mizině a hrozí jí zánik. Nemohl by ale situaci zachránit poklad piráta Zelenovouse, který kdysi sloužil v rodinném sídle Moldánků, později přeměněném na školu? Kde je ale poklad zakopán? Podaří se ho Rosolovi a Piškotovi najít? A proč je neustále sleduje jejich spolužák Pustoryl? Co má za lubem? Kam se poděly peníze z prodeje Školního diamantu ukryté v časohybném křesle? Když navíc záhadně zmizí celý učitelský sbor a ve škole se objeví horda pirátů převlečených za učitele, musejí Rosol a Piškot urychleně jednat… Chris Priestley, autor populárních "Příšerných příběhů strýce Montaguea" nebo "Příšerných příběhů z Černé lodi", si v cyklu "Modlánkovské věže" pohrává s motivy dobrodružné četby, uvolněně a s parodickou nadsázkou, která mu umožňuje vytvářet absurdní, komické zápletky a zvraty. První díl řady, "Kletba vlkodlačího chlapce", byl oceněn Zlatou stuhou za překlad.

Learn how to get your business oversubscribed in a crowded marketplace to make your business stand out and get people lining up to do business with you Are you constantly chasing customers? Why does it seem like some businesses have their customers begging to purchase their goods or services? Think about it for a moment.

Priestley is one of our literary icons of the 20th Century and it is time that we all became re-acquainted with his genius.’ Dame Judi Dench‘My apology, my little bit of penitence, for having grumbled so much, for having darkened the breakfast table, almost ruined the lunch, nearly silence the dinner party, for all the fretting and chafing, grousing and croaking, for the old glum look and the thrust-out lower lip. So my long-suffering kinsfolk, my patient friends, may a glimmer of that delight which has so often possessed me, but perhaps too frequently in secret, now reach you from these pages.’There are times when there doesn’t seem much to smile about. And for those times, there is this book. J. B Priestley’s 1949 classic teaches us that joy may be found in even the simplest things, and that we all have the capacity to appreciate them.Delight comprises a series of short essays, all focussing on a single simple pleasure, from reading detective stories in bed to smoking a pipe in the bath; from ‘Cosy planning’ to the earliest summer mornings; and from mineral water in the bedrooms of foreign hotels to the smell of bacon in the morning.Combining poignant memories of his childhood with glimpses of his interior world, panoramas of life abroad with thoughts about writing, music, theatre – some strictly personal, some universal –this highly readable book bursts with humour and literary flare on every page.

Shorter Oxford English Dictionary - Oxford Languages

From the beginning, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary was intended to be an abridgement of the full Oxford English Dictionary. The first editor, William Little, was appointed in 1902. He worked on it until his death in 1922, after which the dictionary was completed by H. W. Fowler, Jessie Coulson, and C. T. Onions. The First Edition was published in 1933, in two volumes. The Second Edition, published in 1936, contained about 3,000 revisions and additions. The Third Edition (1944) contained an appendix of addenda and corrigenda, and this edition was reprinted several times with corrections and additions, the most significant being in 1973, with enlarged addenda (now running to over 70 pages) and a major revision of all the etymologies. The New Shorter was prepared under the editorship of Lesley Brown 1980-1993. It was the first complete revision of the dictionary, being in fact not so much an overhaul of the existing text as a reabridgement of the OED and its Supplements. The Fifth Edition was published in 2002, and reverted to the name Shorter Oxford English Dictionary to emphasize the link between this 2-volume dictionary and the original 20-volume OED. The Sixth Edition of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary provides a complete update of this unique reference work. Based on the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary contains an incredible one-third of the coverage of the Oxford English Dictionary, is just one-tenth of the size, and includes all words in current English from 1700 to the present day, plus the vocabulary of Shakespeare, the Bible and other major works in English from before 1700. The new edition, with a new introductory essay by language expert David Crystal on the History of English, includes 2,500 new words and senses, plus thousands of antedatings of existing words, drawing on the huge ongoing research project for the Oxford English Dictionary and the wealth of information on language in use provided by the Oxford English Corpus. In addition, the work includes many new quotations from recent authors, a refreshed design, and a complete review of spelling forms and defining vocabulary, making it the most authoritative reference work available for both modern and historical English. For scholars and everyone with a serious interest in the English language, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary is an unrivalled resource, providing a unique description of the historical development of the language together with excellent coverage of current English. The Sixth Edition showcases the best of the traditional strengths of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, while bringing it up to date in its scholarship and research, in the design and layout, and in its treatment of the changing face of English.

English Pronunciation Models in a Globalized World - Andrew Sewell

This book explores the topics of English accents and pronunciation. It highlights their connections with several important issues in the study of English in the world, including intelligibility, identity, and globalization. The unifying strand is provided by English pronunciation models: what do these models consist of, and why? The focus on pronunciation teaching is combined with sociolinguistic perspectives on global English, and the wider question asked by the book is: what does it mean to teach English pronunciation in a globalized world? The book takes Hong Kong – ‘Asia’s World City’ – as a case study of how global and local influences interact, and of how decisions about teaching need to reflect this interaction. It critically examines existing approaches to global English, such as World Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca, and considers their contributions as well as their limitations in the Hong Kong context. A data-based approach with quantitative and qualitative data anchors the discussion and assists in the development of criteria for the contents of pronunciation models. English Pronunciation Models in a Globalized World: Accent, Acceptability and Hong Kong English discusses, among other issues: Global English: A socio-linguistic toolkit Accents and Communication: Intelligibility in global English Teaching English Pronunciation: The models debate Somewhere Between: Accent and pronunciation in Hong KongResearchers and practitioners of English studies and applied linguistics will find this book an insightful resource.

Dreyer’s English: An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style - Benjamin Dreyer

''An utterly delightful book to read, Dreyer''s English will stand among the classics on how to use the English language properly.'' ELIZABETH STROUT''A complete joy. For those who care about words - and for those who don''t - Dreyer''s English is the book we have all been waiting for. Wise, funny, no-nonsense, stylish and brilliantly practical.'' RACHEL JOYCE_____________An indispensable, New York Times-bestselling guide to the craft of writing from Random House''s long-time copy chief and one of Twitter''s leading language gurus.We all write, all the time: books, blogs, tweets, emails, emails, emails - and we all want to write better. Benjamin Dreyer is here to help.As copy chief of Random House, Dreyer has upheld the standards of the legendary publisher for more than two decades. He is beloved by authors and editors alike - not to mention his followers on social media - for playfully, brilliantly deconstructing the English language. Dreyer''s English is the distillation of everything he has learned from copyediting thousands of books, the perfect guide not just for writers but for everyone who wants to put their best prose foot forward.Both authoritative and amusing, Dreyer''s English offers lessons on punctuation, from the underloved semicolon to the enigmatic en-dash; the rules and non-rules of grammar, including why it''s OK to begin a sentence with ''And'' or ''But'' and to confidently split an infinitive; and why it''s best to avoid the doldrums of the Wan Intensifiers and Throat Clearers, including ''very'', ''rather'', ''of course'', and the dreaded ''actually''. And yes: ''Only godless savages eschew the Oxford comma.''Stuffed with advice, insider wisdom, and fun facts, this book will prove to be invaluable to everyone who wants to shore up their writing skills, mandatory for people who spend their time editing and shaping other people''s prose, and - perhaps best of all - an utter treat for anyone who simply revels in language._____________This book is written in British English._____________''Benjamin Dreyer''s brilliant, pithy, incandescently intelligent book is to contemporary writing what Geoffrey Chaucer''s poetry was to medieval English: a gift that broadens and deepens the art and the science of literature'' JON MEACHAM''A fascinating guide to grammatical ''rights'' and ''wrongs'' - practical and useful'' SEBASTIAN FAULKS, SUNDAY TIMES''A pleasing read for anyone who has an appreciation for the written word.'' TIME MAGAZINE, BEST 10 NON-FICTION BOOKS OF 2019''Witty and piquant [...] full of jokes - and equally full of deliciously deprecating footnotes.'' JEWISH CHRONICLE''Playful, smart, self-conscious, and personal . . . One encounters wisdom and good sense on nearly every page of Dreyer''s English.'' WALL STREET JOURNAL''A mind-blower--sure to jumpstart any writing project, just by exposing you, the writer, to Dreyer''s astonishing level of sentence-awareness.'' GEORGE SAUNDERS, author of Lincoln in the Bardo''Benjamin Dreyer is wise and bitterly experienced and fantastically good company. You should buy his book and read it.'' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT''Boisterously well written ... I recommend it highly.'' INDEPENDENT''Dreyer promises to reveal "some of the fancy little tricks I''ve come across or devised that can make even skilled writing better", and does so with accuracy, style, and humour'' GUARDIAN''This work is that rare writing handbook that writers might actually want to read straight through, rather than simply consult.''
