Esther Simpson - Eidinow John
Many of the academic refugees Esther Simpson helped rescue are well remembered. But who was she and why has history forgotten her?This is the story of Esther Simpson, a woman whose dedication to the cause of freedom in science and learning left an indelible mark on the cultural and intellectual landscape of the modern world.Esther Simpson - Tess to her friends - devoted her life to resettling academic refugees, whom she thought of as her family. By the end of her life, Simpson could count among her ''children'' sixteen Nobel Prize winners, eighteen Knights, seventy-four fellows of the Royal Society, thirty-four fellows of the British Academy. Her ''children'' made a major contribution to Allied victory in World War Two.From a humble upbringing in Leeds to Russian immigrant parents, Simpson took on secretarial roles that saw her move to Paris, Vienna and Geneva. But when Hitler assumed power in 1933, she took a job in London at the Academic Assistance Council, newly set up to rescue displaced German scholars, and found her lifelong calling.For a woman who befriended so many and such eminent ''children'', surprisingly little is known of her. This book is a study of Esther Simpson: who she was and how she lived, what moved her to take up and never to relinquish her calling, her impact on the world, and the historical context that helped shape her achievements.

After forty years, John Irving returns to the world of his bestselling classic novel and Academy Award-winning The Cider House Rules, revisiting the orphanage in St. Cloud’s, Maine, where Dr Wilbur Larch takes in Esther, a Viennese-born Jew whose life is shaped by anti-Semitism. Esther Nacht is born in Vienna in 1905. Her father dies on board a ship from Bremerhaven to Portland, Maine, and anti-Semites murder her mother in Portland. In the orphanage at St. Cloud’s, it’s clear to Dr Larch, the physician and director of the orphanage, that the abandoned child not only knows she’s Jewish, but she’s familiar with the biblical Queen Esther she was named for. Dr Larch knows it won’t be easy to find a Jewish family to adopt Esther; he doubts he’ll find any family to adopt her. When Esther is fourteen, soon to become a ward of the state, Dr. Larch meets the Winslows, a philanthropic family with a history of providing for unadopted orphans. The Winslows aren’t Jewish, but they detest anti-Semitism and similar prejudice. Esther’s gratitude to the Winslows is unending. As she retraces her steps to her birth city, Esther keeps loving and protecting the Winslows – even in Vienna.

Happily Ever Esther - Steve Jenkins, Caprice Crane, Derek Walter
From the New York Times bestselling authors and loving owners of Esther the Wonder Pig, comes a memoir about their new life on the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, which is anything but boring. Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter, had their lives turned upside down when they adopted their pig-daughter Esther--the so-called micro pig who turned out to be a full-sized commercial pig growing to a whopping 600 pounds--as they describe in their bestselling memoir Esther the Wonder Pig. The book ends with them moving to a new farm, and starting a new wonderful life where they will live on the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary to care for other animals and just live happily ever after... Or so they thought. People often think about giving it all up and just moving to a farm. In theory it sure does sound great. But as Derek and Steve quickly realized, the realities of being a farmer--especially when you have never lived on a farm let alone outside of the city--can be frantic, crazy, and even insane. Not only are they adjusting to farm life and dutifully taking care of their pig-daughter Esther (who by the way lives in the master bedroom of their house), but before they knew it their sanctuary grew to as many as 42 animals, including: pigs, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, cows, roosters, a peacock, a duck, a horse, a donkey, and a barn cat named Willma Ferrell. Written with joy and humor, and filled with delicious Esther-approved recipes dispersed throughout the book, this charming memoir captures an emotional journey of one little family advocating for animals everywhere.

Setkání se smrtí - Joe Simpson - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Čeho je člověk schopen tváří v tvář skoro jisté smrti? Audiokniha Setkání se smrtí vás zaujme hned od začátku. Nejen proto, že jde o atraktivní tematiku, jakou bezesporu horolezectví je, ale i tím, jak sugestivně dokázal autor vylíčit sílu přátelství v mezní situaci a svoje pocity v boji o přežití při sestupu západní stěnou Siula Grande v Andách. Joe Simpson dokázal z hlediska vysokohorského horolezectví skoro nemožné. Se zlomenou nohou, opuštěný, obklopen ledovými stěnami, ovlivněn halucinacemi – hladový a žíznivý se doplazil do základního tábora. Spolu s ním prožíváme vteřinu za vteřinou jeho dilema – žít – vzdát se, žít – vzdát se, vzdát se – žít. Pevná vůle a odhodlání nevzdat se i v sebekrutějších podmínkách dokazují, že touha po životě zvítězí. Četba tohoto zdánlivě prostého, nicméně neokázalého příběhu o hrdinství v podání zkušeného herce, dabéra a rádiového moderátora Ondřeje Nováka je povzbuzením pro každého člověka při překonávání překážek v jeho vlastním životě. Nahrávka vznikla podle knihy Joe Simpsona Setkání se smrtí vydané Nakladatelstvím JOTA v roce 2009. Copyright © Joe Simpson 1988. Z anglického originálu Touching The Void vydaného nakladatelstvím Jonathan Cape, imprint Vintage, jež je součástí skupiny Penguin Random House, přeložili George and Jenny Dvorsky v roce 1994.

Vydalo Nakladatelství JOTA, s. r. o., v roce 2021. „Jedno z klasických děl zabývajících se horolezectvím … jde o psychologický a místy i filozofický příběh lidské zarputilosti.“ George Steiner, Výběr z nejlepších knih roku, Sunday Times „Zcela výjimečná a velmi dojemná kniha. Setkání se smrtí se dotýká základních otázek a činí tak naléhavě a vkusně.“ David Rose, Guardian „V každém ohledu jde o výjimečný literární počin.“ Jim Perrin, Independent „Je to inteligentní a strhující popis jejich hrůzostrašného dobrodružství. Autor je skutečný mistr pera.“ Graham Lord, Sunday Express „Jeden z nejneuvěřitelnějších příběhů přežití, o jakém jsem kdy četl.“ Peter Gillman, Sunday Times JOE SIMPSON Joe Simpson je anglický horolezec, spisovatel a vyhledávaný motivační řečník. Narodil se v roce 1960 v Kuala Lumpuru. Ve čtrnácti letech se díky četbě nadchnul pro horolezectví, a když mu bylo dvacet pět, vyrazil s přítelem do peruánských And, kde si zlomil nohu a při sestupu málem zahynul v horské bouři. Po návratu prodělal řadu operací, po nichž se navzdory prognózám lékařů vrátil do hor. Podnikl šest neúspěšných výstupů na Eiger, v dosažení vrcholu hory mu však vždy zabránila nepřízeň počasí. Vlivem smrti několika přátel a kolegů horolezců začal měnit svůj vztah k horám a postupně se více soustředil na roli motivačního řečníka a spisovatele. V současné době žije střídavě v Sheffieldu a v Irsku, hodně cestuje a kromě psaní knih a přednášení se věnuje svým početným koníčkům, mezi nimiž i nadále zůstává lezení po skalách.

Under a Pink Sky - Esther Ghey
A MOTHER’S TRUE STORY OF LOVE, LOSS, THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS & THE FIGHT TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURES IN THE DIGITAL AGE. 'Remarkable' Daily Mail'Remarkable…really honest' Lorraine Kelly'A very powerful and very moving book' Anita Rani, Woman's Hour'One of the most unflinching, inspirational autobiographies I’ve read, a remarkable cry of hope from the depths of despair' GuardianOn 11 February 2023, 16-year-old Brianna Ghey left home to meet her friend in a park local to her home in Warrington, Cheshire. Her mother, Esther, was relieved to see her go – a positive step after a difficult and increasingly isolated few years. What Esther didn’t know that day was that Brianna was being lured to the park where she would be tragically murdered. There was at once an international outpouring of anguish and outrage for a young life brutally snatched away and a mother’s worst nightmare come true. Amidst global displays of support, the usually shy and private Esther began to reflect on how she could channel her own personal grief into campaigning to help others and to create a lasting legacy for her child. This is the story of Brianna’s death, but it is also the story of her life and of a mother who had to find a way to survive without her. It is a story of transforming unimaginable tragedy into change, of the power of empathy, and a call for understanding and unity in the face of the threats our young people face in an increasingly unchecked digital world. This is Esther’s fight for a safer, more hopeful future.

The Astonishing Power of Emotions - Jerry Hicks, Esther Hicks
A LIFE-CHANGING BOOK FROM #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHORS OF ASK AND IT IS GIVEN AND THE TEACHINGS OF ABRAHAM MATERIAL THAT INSPIRED THE HIT MOVIE – THE SECRETThis leading-edge book by Esther and Jerry Hicks, who present the teachings of Abraham, the loving group consciousness from the non-physical dimension will help you understand and master the emotions that you’ve been experiencing all of your life. Instead of the out-of-control, knee-jerk reactions that most people have to their ever-changing life experience, this motivational work will put those responses into a broader context. You’ll come to understand what emotions are and how to effectively utilize your new awareness of them. As you read, you’ll come to appreciate, and make peace with, where you are right now, even though there is so much more that you may desire. Every thought you absorb will bring you to a greater understanding of your own personal value and will show you how to open your own doors to whatever you may wish to be, do, or have. Includes a FREE CD excerpt from a live Art of Allowing Workshop with Abraham!Example Chapters Include: · The Value of Your Faith· Remembering the Big Picture· Your Relationship with Your Inner Being· The Universe Continues to Expand Through You· Even Without Words, You Are Creating· You Are a Vibrational Being· Your Emotions Are Absolute Indicators· Your Expansion Is Constant· It Is All About Aligning Your Thoughts· Vibrational Alignment Feels Like Relief· Your Inner Being Has Already Become It· Emotions Indicate the Degree of Your Alignment· Living the Law of Allowing“These Teachings of Abraham are simply about you continuing to create the joyous, fulfilling life that you have intended to create, while allowing all others to create as they intend. And while there is nothing that we can desire that our abundant, unlimited Universe doesn’t have the capacity to give, we cannot receive that which we do not allow.This book is meant to stand on its own as another comprehensive volume of the Teachings of Abraham There is nothing that pleases Esther or me more than providing a forum where people from diverse environments can gather, lending their unique perspectives, asking Abraham their important questions. To actually feel the evolution and expansion of this message must surely be what Esther and I have been born to do. And the reason we know that is because it feels so very, very good to do it.â€â€” From my heart, Jerry Hicks“Your work isn’t to convince someone to give you something you want; your work is to just find relief from wherever you are. When you get good at finding relief, you’ll begin to flow with your Stream, and these things that have been downstream waiting for you to queue up with them will begin to connect with you with such extraordinary persistence that people who are watching you will wonder what in the world has happened with you. There is great love here for you. And, for now, as always, we remain eternally and happily incomplete.†– Abraham

Theory of Water - Leanne Betasamosake Simpson
Winner of the 2025 Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Award for nonfictionA genre-bending exploration of that most elemental force—water—through Indigenous storytelling, personal memory, and the work of influential artists and writersFor many years, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson took solace in skiing—in all kinds of weather, on all kinds of snow across all kinds of terrain, often following the trail beside a beloved creek near her home. Recently, as she skied on this path against the backdrop of uncertainty, environmental devastation, rising authoritarianism and ongoing social injustice, her mind turned to the water in the creek and an elemental question: What might it mean to truly listen to water? To know water? To exist with and alongside water?So began a quest to understand her people's historical, cultural, and ongoing interactions with water in all its forms (ice, snow, rain, perspiration, breath). Pulling together these threads, Leanne began to see how a "Theory of Water" might suggest a radical rethinking of relationships between beings and forces in the world today. In this inventive work, Simpson draws on Nishnaabeg origin stories while artfully weaving the work of influential writers and artists alongside her personal memories and experience—and in doing so, reimagines water as a catalyst for radical transformation, capable of birthing a new world. Theory of Water is a resonant exploration of an intricate, multi-layered relationship with the most abundant element on our planet—one that, as Simpson eloquently shows, is shaping our present even as it demands a radical rethinking of how we might achieve a just future.

Seeing Further - Esther Kinsky
While travelling through the Great Alföld, the vast plain in south-eastern Hungary, Esther Kinsky stops in a small town near the Romanian border. Like many other things, the cinema, ‘mozi’ in Hungarian, has long since closed. Entranced by the decaying mozi, she soon embarks on the colossal task of reviving it, compelled by the irresistible magic of the cinema, a site rooted in ritual that is steadily disappearing. Beautifully translated by Caroline Schmidt, Seeing Further is a powerfully eloquent declaration of love to the cinema and the collective experience of watching by Esther Kinsky, one of Germany’s most important contemporary writers.

This Golden Fleece - Esther Rutter
'A compelling literary journey through the social history of wool in the British Isles' Karen Lloyd, author of The Gathering Tide Travel the length of the British Isles with Esther Rutter, as she tells the story of wool's long and tangled history hereEsther Rutter grew up on a sheep farm in Suffolk, and learned to spin, weave and knit as a child. Here she unearths fascinating histories of communities whose lives were shaped by wool, from the mill workers of the Border countries, to the English market towns built on profits of the wool trade, and the Highland communities cleared for sheep farming; and finds tradition and innovation intermingling in today's knitwear industries. Along the way, she explores wool's rich culture by knitting and crafting culturally significant garments from our history - whether gloves, a scarf, a baby blanket, socks or a fisherman's jumper - reminding us of the value of craft and our intimate relationship with wool. This Golden Fleece is at once a celebration on the craft and history of knitting, and a fascinating exploration of wool's influence on our landscape, history and culture. 'You don't have to be a knitter to enjoy this wondrous book, although as one, I did smile through most of its pages' BBC Countryfile 'The history of plain, purl and intarsia is woven together by Esther Rutter, whose own skill with needles, learned from practical experience, attests that this ancient craft is nothing less than a wonder of civilization.

Sex Pistols: Chci bejt sám sebou - Dave Simpson
Bez Sex Pistols, kteří zcela zásadně ovlivnili kulturu dvacátého století a odstartovali sociální revoluci, by pravděpodobně žádný punk neexistoval. Kapela se vysmívala britskému establishmentu a hudebnímu průmyslu, útočila na královnu a svým nechvalně proslulým vystoupením v pořadu Today Billa Grundyho šokovala celý národ. Tím probudila hněv generace, která neměla co ztratit.Příběh Sex Pistols je příběhem rozhořčení; Jonny Rotten a Sid Vicious byli typickými představiteli anarchie a hněvu své generace. Během necelých tří let tato kapela změnila populární hudbu k nepoznání a připravila půdu pro Ramones, The Clash a další punkrockové legendy.Dave Simpson ve své knize provádí čtenáře Londýnem 70. let, vznikem Sex Pistols a punkového hnutí obecně, i okolnostmi nahrávání legendárního alba Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. Jeho vyprávění o vzestupu a pádu Pistolí je upřímným vylíčením inteligentních rebelů, kteří se rozhodli změnit hudební byznys a postavit se pokrytectví a zatuchlým konvencím. Simpson brilantně zachycuje atmosféru tehdejší Británie a odhaluje spletitosti a povahové rozdíly, kvůli nimž Sex Pistols vyvolávali až do svého rozpadu tolik kontroverze.

Oběť byla nalezena podivně naaranžovaná a nabodnutá na neocenitelnou sochu ve vstupní hale rozsáhlého sídla. Pachatel po sobě nic nezanechal a místo činu neposkytuje žádná vodítka, která by napovídala, kdo mohl tak krutý a podivně rituální čin spáchat. Jane se zdráhá do případu zapojit, ale něco zlověstného ji k němu stále táhne. A když se začnou hromadit mrtvoly, přičemž každá vražda je brutálnější než ta předchozí, jsou její schopnosti vystaveny zkoušce. Dokáže odhalit vrahův další krok dřív, než znovu udeří?

Lorna Simpson - Lauren Rosati
The first publication on the painting practice of artist Lorna Simpson, whose work combines abstraction and figuration to highlight complexities of memory and representation  This revelatory first look at the paintings of Lorna Simpson (b. 1960), an artist who has worked primarily as a photographer for much of her career, examines this significant new development in her practice over the last decade. Simpson’s recent works, midway between photography and painting, advance her incisive explorations of gender, race, and history through bodies that emerge and disappear—peering from inky surfaces or dissolving into landscapes of melting ice. Her paintings draw on documentary photographs and images from vintage Ebony and Jet magazines, combining screen-printed collages of found images with washes of colorful ink on fiberglass, wood, or clayboard. The texts in this volume explore how Simpson’s fascination with time, memory, and the indeterminacy of representation propels her experiments in works that are both figurative and abstract, portraits and landscapes, paintings and photographs.  Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press  Exhibition Schedule:  The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (May 19–November 2, 2025)

Revisit the exciting Brum Beat scene, take to the road with some 40 of the best (in some cases, most eccentric) American bluesmen of the 1970s, encounter the Blues Brothers Band in surprising places and enjoy Jim's tributes to some of the great names in British jazz, such as Humphrey Lyttelton and Kenny Baker, with whom he worked closely.

Láska je osamělá hra - Esther Tusquets
I ve druhé části volné trilogie španělské spisovatelky Esther Tusquets, kriticky nejvíce oceňovaného a čtenářsky nejoblíbenějšího autorčina díla stojícího na počátku její spisovatelské kariéry, se setkáváme s postavou Elii. Podobně jako v první části, Stejné moře jako každé léto, také zde reflektuje ve způsobu volného nepřerušovaného, až manického toku myšlenek své dětství a svůj současný život. Krásná, elegantní, duchaplná a finančně zajištěná Elia se v útěku před zoufalou nudou svého prázdného života a před spalujícím létem ve městě zaplete do milostného trojúhelníku se dvěma studenty. S nemotorným Ricardem trpícím mindráky z dětství a zakřiknutou Clarou rozehrávají hru na lásku a nelásku, osahávají si své hranice, aby zjistili, kam až jsou ochotni zajít, vzájemně se využívají a zasvěcují, zrcadlí se v sobě a projektují si do sebe svá přání ve snaze se skrze druhého vyléčit ze svých traumat a pocitů ublíženosti. Je možné něčeho dosáhnout pomocí hry, v partii šachů hraných s ďáblem, anebo je lepší řídit se spíše instinkty, jako opičáci v říji putující jarním pralesem za vůní svých družek? Vyhrají pradávné biologické pudy nebo sofistikovaná hra kdo s koho? A není toto uzamčení mezi pouhými dvěma možnostmi vůbec naše prokletí?

Stejné moře jako každé léto - Esther Tusquets
Novela španělské spisovatelky Esther Tusquets Stejné moře jako každé léto tvoří první, kriticky nejvíce oceňovanou a čtenářsky nejoblíbenější část volné trilogie, jíž autorka začala svou spisovatelskou kariéru. Vypravěčem částečně autobiografického textu je žena středního věku, profesí vysokoškolská profesorka, která se po vystřízlivění z iluzí a z nespokojenosti nad svým osobním životem navrací do rodného domu, aby se zde pokusila znovu prožít období svého dětství a mládí jakožto nevinného času her bez nutnosti předstírání a masek. Textem současně probíhá několik odlišných linií vytvářejících neustálé napětí mezi minulostí a přítomností, dochází k střídání tahu a protitahu mezi touhou vydat se dál do nové budoucnosti na jedné straně, na druhé vrátit se zpět a pokusit se změnit příběh svého života. Reflektivní proud myšlenek, pátrání v temných zákoutích rozpadajícího se labyrintu mysli v pokusu o rekonstrukci a znovuprožití zkušeností a vzpomínek a ve snaze o objevení autentičtějšího já je rozehráno na pozadí života barcelonské vyšší buržoazie a slouží také jako obecný komentář k poválečné španělské společnosti za represivního Frankova režimu.

Žízeň - Esther Gerritsenová
Coco se se svou matkou Elisabeth vídá jen sporadicky. Jednoho dne se náhodou potkají na ulici, kde matka dceři mezi řečí oznámí, že umírá. Coco cítí povinnost se o ni postarat a nastěhuje se k ní. I když nerada, snáší Elisabeth dceřinu přítomnost, protože ví, že se od matek očekává pochopení a trpělivost. Esther Gerritsenová k Žízni říká: "Občas se do něčeho pustíte, i když víte, že byste to neměli dělat. Bývají to nebezpečné věci, ale ty jediné důležité. Může to být muž, kterého nesmíte políbit, protože víte, že budete chtít víc. Může to být pití, se kterým byste neměli začínat. Nebo touha jít si lehnout a strach, že už nikdy nevstanete. A přece to uděláte. Pijete, líbáte, jdete si lehnout. Pomůžete své umírající matce, abyste se cítili jako lepší člověk, i když víte, že to nebude stačit."Vydání knihy podpořil Nizozemský literární fond.Vydání knihy podpořilo Velvyslanectví Nizozemského království v Praze.

Debora - Esther Singer Kreitman
Autobiografický román starší sestry dvou slavných bratrů - Isaaca Bashevise a Israela Joshuy Singerových - vyšla poprvé v jidiš v roce 1936, později byla autorčiným synem přeložena do angličtiny. Je to patrně jediný román, který dává čtenářům nahlédnout do života ženy vyrůstající v ortodoxní židovské rodině v Polsku na počátku dvacátého století, kdy svět tradičního štetlu zvolna ustupoval modernímu životu. Stejně jako její bratři i Esther popisuje svět zalidněný rabíny a studenty ješivy, gangstery i socialistickými rebely, pouličními prodavači a švadlenkami. Ale především - a v tom se Singerová od svých bratrů liší - vyjadřuje ve své próze hořkou frustraci hrdinky, jíž je jako pouhé dívce zapovězeno vzdělání, je jen lepší služkou v domácnosti svých rodičů a nakonec ji čeká smutné "vysvobození" v podobě dohodnutého sňatku.

Spanish Beauty - Esther Garcia Llovet
Meet Michela, English gangster father, flamenco dancer mother, a hard, uncompromising police officer, operating on the shadier side of the law. In the company of this unorthodox, magnetically compelling character, cult writer Esther GarcÃa Llovet takes us on a breath-taking, high-speed, anarchic romp through the underbelly of the pearl of the Costa Blanca, Benidorm, on the hunt for Reggie Kray’s stolen cigarette lighter. Beyond the sunburn and all-day fry-ups, in casinos, bars that are fronts for money laundering and flashy high society parties, we meet an unforgettable cast of characters English gangsters and Russian mafiosi, chancers, no-hopers, and low-life of all complexions in this unconventional yet literary thriller. With a turn of phrase that always astonishes, an eye for detail that is as forensic as it is cinematic, a sense of humour as dry as a glass of fino, and a wilful desire to break conventional genres, Llovet’s book feels like the best of Almodóvar in surreal, novel form.
