Unaware that this is all a cruel ruse, the innocent boy reassures passengers on the station platform every day.But when the final train is loaded, Nico sees his family being herded into a boxcar. Only then does he discover that he has helped send them—and everyone he knows and loves—to their doom at Auschwitz.Nico escapes—but he never tells the truth again.In The Little Liar, Mitch Albom examines the human repercussions of deception by interweaving the stories of Nico, who yearns for forgiveness; his older brother, Sebastian, who vows revenge against him; Fannie, the girl who must choose between them; and Udo Graf, the Nazi officer who forever changed their lives with his lies.Through the war years, the concentration camps, and the decades that follow, Albom reveals the consequences of each personÂ’s honesty and dishonesty, bringing them back to where it all started in a staggering climax worthy of the best of AlbomÂ’s internationally embraced stories.Â

Audiokniha: Jestli k vám tenhle příběh přichází ve správném okamžiku vašeho života, pak jste získali o hodně víc než jen audioknihu! Světoznámá knížka přeložená do více než dvaceti jazyků vypráví o tom, jak zásadní životní lekci může člověk dostat, když se setká se svým bývalým profesorem. Americký spisovatel Mitch Albom ve své knize vypráví příběh, který skutečně prožil. Po dvaceti letech se znovu setkal se svým bývalým profesorem Morriem Schwartzem, který mu pomohl začít vnímat svět z jiného úhlu, než byl Mitch dosud zvyk¬lý. Z jejich pravidelných úterních setkání se stává jejich poslední společný semestr o životě a smrti. Profesor totiž onemocněl amytrofickou laterální sklerózou. Kniha poukazuje na to, že smysl lidské existence se člověku často vyjevuje teprve tváří v tvář konečnosti lidského bytí a stala se předlohou stejnojmenného filmu z roku 1999 s Jackem Lemmonem a Hankem Azzariou v hlavních rolích.

Poté co nacisté obsadili jeho domov v řecké Salonice, vyhlédl si tohoto důvěřivého chlapce jeden německý důstojník, který mu nabídl šanci zachránit svoji rodinu.

Nevěda, že se jedná o krutou lest, nevinný hoch den co den ujišťoval cestující na nástupišti, že se nemají čeho bát.Ovšem při odbavení posledního vlaku Nico viděl, jak do dobytčáku ženou i jeho rodinu. Teprve poté zjistil, že pomohl odeslat své příbuzné – a všechny další, které znal a měl rád – do koncentračního tábora v Osvětimi. Nicovi se podařilo utéct – ale pak už nikdy nemluvil pravdu.V románu Malý lhář zkoumá Mitch Albom následky klamu a zrady v prolínajících se příbězích Nica, z něhož se stane patologický lhář, jeho staršího bratra Sebastiana, který je odhodlán se mu pomstít, Fannie, dívky, která si mezi oběma bratry musí vybrat, a Uda Grafa, nacistického důstojníka, který svým lhaním všem třem zamotal život.

Strážce času - Mitch Albom
Od autora Mitche Alboma, který inspiroval miliony lidí po celém světě knihami jako Tuesdays with Morris (úterý s Morrisem) a The Five People You Meet in Heaven (Pět lidí, které potkáš v nebi), přichází jeho nejpůsobivější román The Time Keeper (Strážce času ) - poutavá legenda o prvním muži na Zemi, který počítal čas. V nejnovějším románu Mitche Alboma je vynálezce prvních světových hodin potrestán za to, že se pokoušel měřit nejúžasnější Boží dar - čas. Je vyhoštěn na staletí do jeskyně a přinucen naslouchat hlasem všech, kteří ho léta hledali. Nakonec, když byla jeho duše skoro zlomená, Otec čas mu udělil svobodu, spolu s magickými přesýpacími hodinami a posláním: příležitostí splatit svůj dluh tím, že naučí dvou pozemských lidí skutečnému významu času. Zatímco počítání času začalo tak nevinně, dnes už dominuje v našich životech a nevíme si bez něj představit jediný den. Vynálezce se vrací právě do našeho světa a začíná svou cestu za vlastní záchranou se dvěma rozdílnými partnery: jedním je dospívající dívka, která si chce vzít život, přičemž druhým je vlivný starý obchodník, který chce žít navěky. Aby zachránil sám sebe, musí zachránit obou. Tato evokující próza v sobě nese neobyčejný příběh, který inspiruje čtenáře, aby znovu zvážil své vlastní představy o čase, jak ho tráví a jaký cenný ve skutečnosti je.

The Miracle Month - Mitch Horowitz
“One of the only people I know who pulls off punk rock and self-help simultaneously.”—Conner HabibPower is what naturally results when everything needless and self-defeating is stripped out of your life. Are you prepared to dedicate 30 days to throwing off whatever conceals the greater self you have always suspected you are? If you’re unsure do not even begin this book. In The Miracle Month, Mitch Horowitz, “a cross between Aleister Crowley and Alan Watts” (Duncan Trussell), provides a 30-day, self-enforced academy that disrupts, upends, and overthrows every social and self-imposed barrier to your innate power. “This book,” Mitch writes, “is for people who would prefer nearly any alternative than to slide back into the anxiety, self-limitations, and half-in, half-out existence that they have known until now. Does that sound extreme? It is not. It is an open door to change.”Mitch helps you “Understand Power” (Day 9), “Give Up One Thing That Causes You Pain” (Day 13), realize “You Are Not Someone Else’s Decision” (Day 27), and confront the question: “Do You Enjoy Suffering?” (Day 26).

Uncertain Places - Mitch Horowitz
An exploration of our extraordinary shift away from materialism toward renewal of the numinous, mysterious, and uncertain• Examines topics that evoke widespread misunderstanding, including the real history of secret societies, the wisdom of the Satanic, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, out-of-body experience, and the contemporary war on witches• Looks at the influence of the founding lights of modern occultism, including mystic Neville Goddard, occult scholar Manly P. Hall, and surrealist filmmaker David Lynch, and debunks famous pseudo-skeptics such as the Amazing Randi• Explores magickal practices, including Anarchic Magick, mind metaphysics, the Law of Attraction, and Ouija boards, and upends hallowed spiritual concepts like forgivenessAll of us today dwell in uncertain places--realities in which thoughts make things happen, ESP is provable by the scientific methods once used to debunk it, UFOs are mainstream, and magick no longer requires rite and ritual but is as near as your own mind. Today’s leading voice of esotericism and the occult, Mitch Horowitz explores topics that evoke widespread misunderstanding, including the real history of secret societies, the wisdom of the Satanic, the relevance of Gnosticism, and the slender but authentic connection between today’s spiritual culture and antiquity, including in areas of Hermeticism, deity worship, out-of-body experience, and magick. He demonstrates the occult roots of wide-ranging facets of modern culture, including politics, abstract art, mind-body healing, self-help, and breakthrough scientific fields such as quantum physics and neuroplasticity. He looks at the influence of the founding lights of modern occultism, including mystic Neville Goddard, occult scholar Manly P. Hall, and surrealist filmmaker David Lynch, and provides a magnificent take-down of famous debunkers and pseudo-skeptics such as the Amazing Randi. He explores magickal practices, including Anarchic Magick, mind metaphysics, the Law of Attraction, and the history of Ouija boards and questions time-honored spiritual values like forgiveness. Mitch also examines the contemporary war on witches around the world and what it is like to be blacklisted. Offering a thought-provoking investigation of the spiritual, the occult, the magickal, and the extra-physical, Mitch lays the groundwork for readers to continue their own journeys into these esoteric streams of consciousness.

Mitch Epstein
Seminal photo series, together with new works, demonstrate Epstein s unflinching documentation of America s landscapes ravaged by climate changeThe culmination of a 20-year odyssey by one of America’s leading photographers, American Nature represents both a political portrait of the nation during this pivotal time and an existential warning about a potentially cataclysmic future. Even though the threat of climate change is very real and affects us daily, the causes and consequences are often hard to articulate, much less represent. Mitch Epstein’s monumental achievement in his overarching work of the past two decades has been to communicate the intangible networks of production and power that threaten our environment and to listen to and record the visions of people in protest, as well as the gentle thrum of the enduring forest.American Nature features key selections from Epstein s three most recent projects: American Power (2003–9), Property Rights (2017–20) and Old Growth (2020–24). In American Power, he shows the consequences of the corporate extraction and refinement of natural resources. In Property Rights, he bears witness to local responses and resistances to such spoliations. And in Old Growth, he reveals the too rarely seen vistas of ancient trees and pristine nature, untrammeled by human exploitation. In addition to these three major photographic projects, there are two new multimedia works: the monumental installation Forest Waves, devoted to the virgin forest of Massachusetts, and Clear Cut, a compilation of still images by early 20th-century photographer Darius Kinsey on the deforestation in the American Northwest.Mitch Epstein (born 1952) was born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and studied under Garry Winogrand at Cooper Union. His photobook Family Business won the 2004 Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award. Epstein was previously a visiting artist at Bard College’s Photography Program.

Dva špatní lidé. Dva špatné dny. Dva skvělé příběhy. ***** PENGUIN Král gothamského podsvětí přišel o všechno. Je z něj zlomený a osamělý člověk, bez přátel i bez ranařů. Za všechny své zbývající peníze si může dovolit koupit už jen pistoli s jedním jediným nábojem. Pomocí něj si může prostřelit hlavu… nebo se pokusit získat všechno zase zpátky. S jedním nábojem proti celému Gothamu. ***** RIDDLER Byl to jen obyčejný chlápek. Za bílého dne šel po ulici domů, ale nedošel. Bez jediného slova ho zastřelil Riddler a pak se usmál do nejbližší bezpečnostní kamery. Zdánlivě nesmyslný zločin, ale Riddler nedělá nikdy nic jen tak bezdůvodně. Začíná výslech, souboj mezi Batmanem a Riddlerem, který má odhalit motiv téhle vraždy. Co vlastně Riddler plánuje? ***** V této knize najdete dva uzavřené a temné příběhy zaměřené na padouchy v podání skvělých scenáristů, jako jsou John Ridley (Oscar za scénář filmu Dvanáct let v řetězech) a Tom King (Batman, Vision: O trochu horší než člověk, o trochu lepší než zvíře), a úžasných kreslířů, jako je Giuseppe Camuncoli (Sebevražedný oddíl, Batman: Evropa), či Mitch Gerads (Mister Miracle, Strange Adventures, The Sheriff of Babylon).

Feeling is the Secret - Mitch Horowitz, Neville Goddard
One of Nevilleâ ™s Most Transformative Works With a Major Biography and TimelineWritten in 1944, Feeling Is the Secret resounds with the full power of Neville Goddardâ ™s mystical vision. With total persuasiveness, Nevilleâ ”writing at the peak of his abilitiesâ ”demonstrates how the world without reflects your world within. Whatâ ™s more, the mystical visionary explains exactly how to use his system of mental creativity through the methods of prayer, sleep, and assumption. Feeling Is the Secret is one of the most revolutionary works of practical spirituality ever written. It promises a turning point in your life.In this beautifully designed â œdeluxe editionâ you benefit not only from Nevilleâ ™s radical statement, but also from a comprehensive and enthralling analysis and biography of Neville, â œChariot of Fire,â by spiritual thinker Mitch Horowitz, who is considered the most powerful interpreter of Nevilleâ ™s ideas today.

The Sixth Sense - Mitch Horowitz
Napoleon Hill called the thirteenth and final step of Think and Grow Rich, “The Sixth Sense,” adding: “This principle is the apex of the philosophy.” Time has validated the success master’s insight.In The Sixth Sense,Mitch Horowitz, one of today’s most literate voices of self-help, explores the practical uses of this culminating step in Hill’s philosophy, including how: Your brain is a “receiving station” sensitive to influences all around you. ESP, telepathy, and precognition are facts demonstrated by replicable and recent lab data. “Mental telepathy is a reality,” Hill wrote, with emphasis in the original. He was right. Due to your receptivity to extra-physical impressions, you must carefully cultivate environment, relationships, and colleagues. Your psyche functions like any physical organ—it is subject to fatigue, exhaustion, and overuse, just as it performs better under conditions of health, vitality, and adequate rest. You must beware of factors that cloud your mind’s functions, such as intoxication, boredom, poor physical habits, and negative emotions. Enthusiasm is a vital property in accessing imagination, intuition, and insight. By using all the lessons in Think and Grow Rich, it is possible to cultivate a sixth sense through which hunches and flashes of insight reach you. Pay attention to enthusiasms and forebodings. This may be the sixth sense communicating. You can trust intuitions and insights when they follow dedicated study and effort. These are not fickle or errant notions but possibly the subconscious and sixth sense breaking through. Precognition and retrocausality—the subject of recent academic studies and meta-analyses—demonstrate that future actions can improve current performance. An imaginary council, as described in Hill’s final step, can augment—but not replace—the Master Mind principle. We experience daily moments that are “prime time” for intuition, autosuggestion, and ESP-related activity. Learn how to cultivate them.

The Story of China - Michael Wood
China s story is extraordinarily rich and dramatic. Now Michael Wood, one of the UK s pre-eminent historians, brings it all together in a major new one-volume history of China that is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand its burgeoning role in our world today.China is the oldest living civilisation on earth, but its history is still surprisingly little known in the wider world. Michael Wood s sparkling narrative, which mingles the grand sweep with local and personal stories, woven together with the author s own travel journals, is an enthralling account of China s 4000-year-old tradition, taking in life stationed on the Great Wall or inside the Forbidden City. The story is enriched with the latest archaeological and documentary discoveries; correspondence and court cases going back to the Qin and Han dynasties; family letters from soldiers in the real-life Terracotta Army; stories from Silk Road merchants and Buddhist travellers, along with memoirs and diaries of emperors, poets and peasants.In the modern era, the book is full of new insights, with the electrifying manifestos of the feminist revolutionaries Qiu Jin and He Zhen, extraordinary eye-witness accounts of the Japanese invasion, the Great Famine and the Cultural Revolution under Chairman Mao, and fascinating newly published sources for the great turning points in China s modern history, including the Tiananmen Square crisis of 1989, and the new order of President Xi Jinping.A compelling portrait of a single civilisation over an immense period of time, the book is full of intimate detail and colourful voices, taking us from the desolate Mongolian steppes to the ultra-modern world of Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. It also asks what were the forces that have kept China together for so long? Why was China overtaken by the west after the 18th century? What lies behind China s extraordinary rise today? The Story of China tells a thrilling story of intense drama, fabulous creativity and deep humanity; a portrait of a country that will be of the greatest importance to the world in the twenty-first century.

The incredible story of a Wall Street banker who went to China with $400,000,000 and learned the hard way how (not) to do business there . . . In the early nineties, China finally opened for business and Wall Street wanted in on the act. When the investment bankers arrived from New York with their Harvard MBAs, pinstripes and tasselled loafers, ready to negotiate with the Old Cadres, the stage was set for collision. This is the true story of a tough Wall Street banker who came to China looking for glory. He teamed up with an ex-Red Guard and a Mandarin-speaking Englishman. Together, they raised over $400,000,000 and bought up factories all over China. Only as they watched those millions slide towards the abyss did they start to understand that China really doesn t play by anyone else s rules. Tim Clissold was there at the beginning of China s transformation and he s still there, doing business. In this new edition of his hugely successful book he describes just how much - and how little - has changed in China since his story began.

The Souls of China - Ian Johnson
Masterfully opens up a little explored realm: how the quest for religion and spirituality drives hundreds of millions of Chinese Pankaj Mishra A fascinating odyssey ... a nuanced group portrait of Chinese citizens striving for non-material answers in an era of frenetic materialism Julia Lovell, Guardian The reappearance and flourishing of religion is perhaps the most surprising aspect of the dramatic changes in China in recent decades...this is a beautiful, moving and insightful book Michael SzonyiIn no society on Earth was there such a ferocious attempt to eradicate all trace of religion as in modern China. But now, following a century of violent antireligious campaigns, China is awash with new temples, churches, and mosques - as well as cults, sects, and politicians trying to harness religion for their own ends. Driving this explosion of faith is uncertainty - over what it means to be Chinese, and how to live an ethical life in a country that discarded traditional morality and is still searching for new guideposts.The Souls of China is the result of some fifteen years of studying and travelling around China. The message of Ian Johnson s extraordinary book is that China is now experiencing a Great Awakening on a vast scale. Everywhere long-suppressed religions are rebuilding, often in new forms, and reshaping the values and behaviours of entire communities.Ian Johnson is as happy explaining the wonders of the lunar calendar as talking to the yinyang man who ensures proper burials. He visits meditation masters and the charismatic head of a Chengdu church. The result is a rich and funny work that challenges conventional wisdom about China. Xi Jinping, China s current leader, has put a return to morality and Chinese tradition at the heart of his ideas for his country - but, Johnson asks, at what point will the rapid spread of belief form an unmanageable challenge to the Party s monopoly on power?

Religious Change in Post-Mao China - Yanfei Sun
A sweeping examination of how the religious landscape has changed in post-Mao China. Â In Religious Change in Post-Mao China, sociologist Yanfei Sun examines the transformation of major religions and the broader religious ecology in China in the wake of the death of Mao Zedong. Drawing on two decades of research that integrates ethnographic, historical, and comparative methods, this book explores the remarkable rise of Protestantism, the challenges faced by Catholicism, the revival of Chinese popular religion, the complex dynamics of Chinese Buddhism, and the unrealized potential of new religious movements. Why do some religions thrive and others struggle in post-Mao China? Sun describes both the internal institutional factors that allow some religions to flourish and the wider sociopolitical context that supports or discourages religious expansion. She thereby introduces an ambitious theoretical frameworkâ ”one whose applicability extends beyond China, offering a template for analyzing religious dynamics in other parts of the world. A must-read for scholars of religious studies, sociology, and China studies, Religious Change in Post-Mao China not only provides critical insights into Chinaâ ™s evolving religious landscape but also offers a powerful lens for examining the forces behind religious change, both past and present.

Dialogue With China: Opportunities And Risks
This book is the first volume of a projected series of six handbooks on various aspects involved in contemporary encounters with China and her people. The book argues for a hands-on approach of dialogue with China, which seems to be crucial for business success in China. Bearing in mind the various present clashes with China and an increasing negative image of China internationally, the book is conceived as a handbook reflecting the experiences of observers who provide helpful hints to better understand and appreciate Chinese culture without being blindfolded by multiple traps and pitfalls.The book features a selection of articles published in the Macau Ricci Institute Journal (MRIJ) in its first six issues from 2017 through 2020. The essays featured in this book provide elements for a frank appraisal of China s Belt and Road Initiative, by highlighting the PRC government s aspirations for the project, while examining these in the light of the practical problems encountered by both hosts and representatives among the participants in BRI projects.

Plato Goes to China - Shadi Bartsch
The surprising story of how Greek classics are being pressed into use in contemporary China to support the regimeâ ™s political agendaAs improbable as it may sound, an illuminating way to understand todayâ ™s China and how it views the West is to look at the astonishing ways Chinese intellectuals are interpretingâ ”or is it misinterpreting?â ”the Greek classics. In Plato Goes to China, Shadi Bartsch offers a provocative look at Chinese politics and ideology by exploring Chinese readings of Plato, Aristotle, Thucydides, and other ancient writers. She shows how Chinese thinkers have dramatically recast the Greek classics to support Chinaâ ™s political agenda, diagnose the ills of the West, and assert the superiority of Chinaâ ™s own Confucian classical tradition. In a lively account that ranges from the Jesuits to Xi Jinping, Bartsch traces how the fortunes of the Greek classics have changed in China since the seventeenth century. Before the Tiananmen Square crackdown, the Chinese typically read Greek philosophy and political theory in order to promote democratic reform or discover the secrets of the success of Western democracy and science. No longer. Today, many Chinese intellectuals use these texts to critique concepts such as democracy, citizenship, and rationality. Platoâ ™s â œNoble Lie,â in which citizens are kept in their castes through deception, is lauded; Aristotleâ ™s Politics is seen as civic brainwashing; and Thucydidesâ ™s criticism of Athenian democracy is applied to modern America. What do antiquityâ ™s â œdead white menâ have left to teach? By uncovering the unusual ways Chinese thinkers are answering that question, Plato Goes to China opens a surprising new window on China today.

China - Edward Rutherfurd
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Bravo; this is a big, complex and utterly involving portrait of 19th-century China THE TIMESThe internationally bestselling author portrays the great clash of East and West in his new epic: China China in the nineteenth century: a proud and ancient empire forbidden to foreigners. The West desires Chinese tea above all other things but lacks the silver to buy it. Instead, western adventurers resort to smuggling opium in exchange.The Qing Emperor will not allow his people to sink into addiction. Viceroy Lin is sent to the epicentre of the opium trade, Canton, to stop it. The Opium Wars begin - heralding a period of bloody military defeats, reparations, and one-sided treaties which will become known as the Century of Humiliation. From Hong Kong to Beijing to the Great Wall, from the exotic wonders of the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City, to squalid village huts, the dramatic struggle rages across the Celestial Kingdom. This is the story of the Chinese people, high and low, and the Westerners who came to exploit the riches of their ancient land and culture.We meet a young village wife struggling with the rigid traditions of her people, Manchu empresses and warriors, powerful eunuchs, fanatical Taiping and Boxer Rebels, savvy Chinese pirates, artists, concubines, scoundrels and heroes, well-intentioned missionaries and the rapacious merchants, diplomats and soldiers of the West. Fortunes will rise and fall, loves will be gained and lost.This is an unforgettable tale told from both sides of the divide. The clash of worldviews, of culture and heritage, is shown in a kaleidoscope of jaw-dropping set pieces. China is a feat of the imagination that will enthral, instruct and excite, and show us how things once were, and how the turmoil of the nineteenth century led to modern China s revolution and rebirth.

Finding Me - Viola Davis
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A mind-blowing and emotionally honest tale of survival against all odds. BERNARDINE EVARISTO A breathtaking memoir...I was so moved by this book. Oprah It is startlingly honest and, at times, a jaw-dropping read, charting her rise from poverty and abuse to becoming the first African-American to win the triple crown of an Oscar, Emmy and Tony for acting. BBC NewsTHE DEEPLY PERSONAL, BRUTALLY HONEST ACCOUNT OF VIOLA S INSPIRING LIFEIn my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life changing decision to stop running forever.This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose and my strength, but also to finding my voice in a world that didn t always see me.As I wrote Finding Me, my eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given close examination. They are bogarted, reinvented to fit into a crazy, competitive, judgmental world. So I wrote this for anyone who is searching for a way to understand and overcome a complicated past, let go of shame, and find acceptance. For anyone who needs reminding that a life worth living can only be born from radical honesty and the courage to shed facades and be...you.Finding Me is a deep reflection on my past and a promise for my future. My hope is that my story will inspire you to light up your own life with creative expression and rediscover who you were before the world put a label on you.
