The publishing house of John Murray was founded in Fleet Street in 1768 and remained a family firm over seven generations. Published to coincide with this ''remarkable achievement'' and in the anniversary year, Dear Mr Murray is a collection of some of the best letters from the hundreds of thousands held in the John Murray Archive. They reveal not only the story of some of the most interesting and influential books in history but also the remarkable friendships - as well as occasional animosities - between author and publisher, as well as readers, editors, printers and illustrators.Despite the incredible number of letters that were retained by the Murray family, some failed to arrive, others were delayed and some barely survived, but longevity added to the reputation and fame of John Murray and a correspondent in Canada who addressed his letter merely to ''John Murray, The World-wide famous Book & Publishing House, London, England'' as early as 1932 could be confident that his letter would arrive.Intended to entertain and inspire, and spanning more than two hundred years, Dear Mr Murray is full of literary history and curiosities: from Charles Darwin''s response to the negative reviews of On the Origin of Species to Adrian Conan Doyle challenging Harold Nicolson to a duel for insulting his father in the press; from David Livingstone''s displeasure at the proposed drawing of a lion to represent his near-death encounter in Missionary Travels to William Makepeace Thackeray apologising for his drunken behaviour; from Byron berating John Murray for being fooled by his girlfriend''s forgery of his signature to the poet James Hogg so desperate for money that he claims he won''t be able to afford a Christmas goose; and from Jane Austen expressing concern about printing delays to Patrick Leigh Fermor beseeching Jock Murray not to visit him until he''d completed A Time of Gifts. Complemented by illustrations and reproductions of letters and envelopes, this is the perfect gift for book lovers everywhere.

A laugh-out-loud, page-turning novel from TOP 100 bestselling author of Time Out Emma MurraySaoirse may just have to wing it... When her husband David announces he’s been offered a job in New York, Saoirse is thrilled. The glamour of the big city, the shopping, the culture, not to mention the free Manhattan apartment and business class air fare – what’s not to like? There’s just the small matter of making it work for their daughter, five-year-old Anna, who isn’t so keen to leave her friends and school behind. The Big Apple in the middle of summer isn’t quite the holiday Saoirse envisaged, and with David away with work, New York apartment sizes on the miniscule side, and the pace of life faster than the sleepy London suburbs, solo ex-pat parenting pushes Saoirse to her limits.

From the Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling AuthorIn On Democracies and Death Cults, bestselling author Douglas Murray argues how no less than the future of the Western World is at stake in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Drawing from intensive on-the-ground reporting in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon, Murray presents a compelling case that places the latest violence in its proper historical context. He takes readers on a harrowing journey through the aftermath of the 7th October massacre, piecing together the exclusive accounts from victims, survivors and even the terrorists responsible for the atrocities. On Democracies and Death Cults illustrates how Israel's commitment to fundamental Western values - capitalism, individual rights, democracy, and reason - has made it a beacon of progress in a region dominated by authoritarianism and extremism.Murray contrasts Israel's principles with the ideology of Hamas, which openly proclaims its love of death over life. If left unchecked, Murray argues, this misplaced Western sympathy could embolden forces that seek to undermine democratic values and perpetuate a culture of violence. Deeply reasoned, clear-eyed and grounded in fact, On Democracies and Death Cults is a gripping and essential read for all who seek to understand the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its implications for the future of democracy - and for the world itself.

"LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!" LUKE 11:1"Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray. He did not speak much of what was needed to preach well but spoke much of praying well. To know how to speak to God is more important than knowing how to speak to man. Not power with men, but power with God is the first thing. Jesus loves to teach us how to pray.What do you think, my beloved fellow disciples? Would it not be just what we needed, to ask the Master to give us a month-long course of special lessons on the art of prayer? As we meditate on the words He spoke on earth, let us yield to his teaching, in the fullest confidence that, with such a teacher, we shall make progress. Let us take time not only to meditate but to pray. To busy ourselves at the foot of the throne, and be trained in the work of intercession." -Andrew Murray"With Christ in the School of Prayer" offers a structured series of 31 short, concise, practical, and powerful lessons on prayer to fill the listener''s heart with a hunger for God''s presence.

Douglas Murray odvážně popisuje a jasně vysvětluje tragické problémy, které se vynořily v západním světě jako důsledek ztráty orientace a smyslu lidské existence. Vznikla nová utopická ideologie společenské spravedlnosti, jež nesmiřitelně prosazuje radikální přestavbu společnosti na základě domnělých práv rasových a sexuálních menšin (i většinových žen). Tato ideologie proniká do hlavního proudu politiky, ovládla veřejný diskurz a stala se novou státní legitimitou. Je však zmatená a absurdní, a tak vede doslova k masovému šílenství. Jak píše Murray: "Vypjaté projevy znechucení na veřejnosti i v soukromí se opakují stále častěji, lidé se chovají jako v horečce, reagují stádně, anebo jako by si potřebovali nepřetržitě a vulgárně ulevovat. Každodenní zprávy nám předkládají důsledky takového chování, ale příčiny nám unikají." Na straně "progresivistů" vystupují globální americké firmy, zejména Google, Amazon, Twitter a Facebook, jež získaly moc "určovat lidem, co mají znát, o čem přemýšlet a mluvit”. Autor popisuje paradoxy a protimluvy tohoto šílenství, které se snaží potlačit normální zdravý rozum (např. výrokem, že ženy a muži jsou stejní). Murray rozebírá matoucí ideologii a její novořeč: "komunita LBGTQ", "bělošské privilegium", "toxické mužství" nebo "transfobie" a nabízí možnost, jak se nenechat ovládnout takzvanou "politickou korektností”, jež je naprosto scestná. Autor ukazuje, že pro záchranu západní civilizace rozumu a svobody je životně důležité, abychom uměli rozlišit, co je na emancipaci žen, homosexuálů a rasových menšin správné - a kdy už jednoznačně jsme na cestě k šílenství.

Už delší dobu to vypadá, že se na Západě hroutí snášenlivá společnost humánních civilizačních zásad, které jí dosud zajišťovaly soudržnost a rozvoj. Média podléhají cenzuře politické ideologie "sociální spravedlnosti” a univerzity indoktrinují mládež revoluční vizí nové společnosti. "Všechno, co jsme pokládali za rozumné a dané”, píše Murray, "se nyní nachází pod palbou nenávistné kritiky”. Máme-li i tentokrát zvítězit nad fašismem a komunismem, musíme demaskovat vnitřního nepřítele. Není to snadné, pseudoprogresivistické hnutí "uvědomělých (woke)” bojůvek používá proměnlivý jazyk utopické "absolutní rovnosti rasových a sexuálních menšin” a svou novořečí dokáže posluchače často zmást. V útoku na západní civilizaci zneužívá americký komplex z otrokářství ("Na černošských životech záleží!”) a obviněním z rasismu útočí na liberální politickou tradici, západní filosofii, literaturu, umění a dokonce i exaktní vědy jako na pozůstatky rasistické imperialistické politiky "bílých mrtvých mužů”, kterou je nutno od základu vyvrátit a vybudovat novou, spravedlivou, multikulturní a beztřídní společnost. Murray dramaticky líčí, jak ideologie anti-rasismu pronikla do myšlení západní elity, jak ovlivňuje chod škol a institucí, pracovní zákony i veřejnou debatu. Padají sochy zakladatelů americké svobody a hrdinů občanské války. Absurdní obvinění bílé rasy z vrozeného nevyléčitelného rasismu ohrožuje legitimitu a soudržnost multietnického národa. Murray volá do boje: nedejme se zastrašit a pádně odpovězme na pomlouvání civilizace, jež dala světu katedrály a univerzity, úžasné umění, vědu, techniku a také lékařství a vyprostila z bídy dvě miliardy lidí! Pouze na Západě byla umožněna politická a individuální svoboda. V zájmu jejího udržení je třeba se vzepřít jejím totalitním likvidátorům - je třeba je porazit.

In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it?It's become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers.

Douglas Murray brilantně líčí příběh masové imigrace do Evropy - její počátky v poválečném nedostatku pracovní síly, její zintenzivnění při slučování rodin a konečně humanitární ospravedlňování otevřených hranic. Od druhé světové války až po současnost vznikají a rostou ohromné nepřizpůsobivé přistěhovalecké kolonie, navzdory tomu by ale "příchod milionů nemusel být hlasem polnice posledního soudu, kdyby Evropa neztratila víru ve svou civilizaci, tradici a legitimní právo na vlastní existenci". Vyčerpaný a historickou vinou kolonialismu a rasismu posedlý Západ není schopen hájit občanské svobody a práva proti nábožensky sebejisté kultuře islámu, jež nezná odluku církve a státu. Murray vykresluje dramaticky narůstající spor většinové společnosti s intelektuální elitou, která hodlá evropský lid vyměnit. Důkladně analyzuje její akademické šibolety, vytáčky a lži i její ideál "morálně nadřazeného univerzálního lidství" bez kulturního rozlišení, utopickou vizi nesoudržné, multietnické společnosti pouhých lidských práv. Jak prorocky napsal G. K. Chesterton, proti ideologii bezbřehého splynutí všech se všemi se jednou instinktivně vzbouří miliony a rozpoutá se střet mezi davem a posedlou internacionální třídou. Ať už nadcházející konflikt dopadne jakkoli, podle Murrayho to pak nebude Evropa, jakou jsme dosud znali.

Nová brilantná a provokatívna kniha jedného z najvýznamnejších svetových politických spisovateľov. V knihe Vojna proti Západu sa autor medzinárodných bestsellerov Douglas Murray pýta: ak sú dejiny ľudstva dejinami otroctva, dobývania, predsudkov, genocídy a vykorisťovania, prečo za to nesú vinu len západné národy? Čína má dnes koncentračné tábory. Prečo ľudia zo Západu tvrdia, že naše hriechy sú jedinečné? Teraz je v móde oslavovať nezápadné kultúry a, naopak, znevažovať všetko západné. Niečo z toho predstavuje potrebné zúčtovanie, avšak väčšina osudovo podkopáva základ toho, čo vytvorilo najväčšiu a najhumánnejšiu civilizáciu na svete. Douglas Murray v knihe Vojna proti Západu ukazuje, koľko ľudí s dobrými úmyslami sa nechalo oklamať pokryteckou a nedôslednou protizápadnou rétorikou. Napokon, ak musíme zavrhnúť myšlienky Kanta, Huma a Milla pre ich názory na rasu, nemali by sme zavrhnúť aj Marxa, ktorého dielo je prešpikované rasistickými urážkami a antisemitizmom? V Amerike ešte treba uhasiť ohniská rasizmu, ale čo s besniacim rasistickým peklom na Blízkom východe a v Ázii? Z tohto intelektuálneho podvodu neprofitujú len nečestní vedci, ale aj nepriateľské národy a porušovatelia ľudských práv, ktorí dúfajú, že tak odvrátia pozornosť od svojich vlastných súčasných zločinov. Diktátori s radosťou naskočia na vlnu „Amerika je rasistická krajina“ a ako PR imitujú jazyk antirasistických a „prospravodlivých“ hnutí, zatiaľ čo medzitým vyvražďujú vlastný ľud a uskutočňujú svoje autoritárske ťaženia.. Ak má Západ prežiť, treba ho brániť. Vojna proti Západu nie je len prenikavým rozborom hlúpych protizápadných argumentov, ale aj novou a prísnou apologetikou civilizácie ako takej.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERA Times and Sunday Times Book of the YearUpdated with a new afterword by the author ''Douglas Murray fights the good fight for freedom of speech ... A truthful look at today''s most divisive issues'' – Jordan B. Peterson ''[Murray’s] latest book is beyond brilliant and should be read, must be read, by everyone'' – Richard Dawkins Are we living through the great derangement of our times? In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of ‘woke’ culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of ‘wokeness’, the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive. One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society – from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women – Murray’s penetrating book, now published with a new afterword taking account of the book''s reception and responding to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.

SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER‘The most important book of the year’ Daily MailThe brilliant and provocative new book from one of the world’s foremost political writers‘The anti-Western revisionists have been out in force in recent years. It is high time that we revise them in turn…’In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it? It’s become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What’s more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world’s most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray’s status as one of the world’s foremost political writers.

love lay down beside me and we wept is Helen Murray Taylor’s lyrical memoir of devastating mental illness. Helen Murray Taylor was finding her feet as a young doctor and trying to maintain some semblance of a life in the shadow of a punishing schedule when she witnessed a horrific road traffic accident. The impact of this fatal collision caught Helen off guard and had terrible repercussions. Both her career and her mental health took a battering. After a succession of other distressing events left Helen emotionally shattered and seriously depressed, she was admitted to a psychiatric ward and sectioned under the Mental Health Act. At her lowest, she almost succeeded in taking her own life. love lay down beside me and we wept sprang from these difficult times, from Helen’s months on the ward and the psychological upheaval of being restrained against her will, and from the challenge of being a doctor turned patient, but also from the moments of pure comedy and unexpected comradeship that she encountered there. This is a profoundly moving and masterful account of one woman''s physical and psychological breakdown, it''s a tribute to the love that supported her through it, and it''s an offering to the reader who might find comfort or understanding in this story.

V temných časech, kdy se euroatlantická civilizace ocitá na křižovatce, obrací Douglas Murray pozornost k jednomu z nejsložitějších konfliktů současnosti: k válce mezi Izraelem a Hamásem. Nejde o reportáž z bojiště, spíš o hluboký esej o tom, co odděluje život od smrti, svobodu od otroctví a lidskost od barbarství. Ráno 7. října 2023 vtrhl smrtící kult Hamásu do izraelských vesnic. Rituál ideologie, jež uctívá smrt jako vrchol existence, přinesl masové vraždy, znásilňování, mučení, únosy. Murray čerpá z osobních svědectví přeživších, ale také sleduje cestu od kořenů islamistického extremismu až po manipulaci, jež dělá vražedné stroje dokonce i z dětí. Čím je kniha tak atraktivní? Svou univerzálností. Oslovuje nás všechny, kdo sledujeme, jak Západ sabotuje sám sebe v závodech slepé „tolerance“ vůči extremismu. Ukazuje, že protesty proti Izraeli často maskují hlubší nenávist k západním hodnotám, odpovídá na otázky, proč média zkreslují realitu a proč demokracie musí být nejen tolerantní, ale i nekompromisní: vůči těm, kdo uctívají smrt.

In 1996 Trainspotting was the biggest thing in British culture. Brilliantly and aggressively marketed, it crossed into the mainstream despite being a black comedy set against the backdrop of heroin addiction in Edinburgh. Produced by Andrew Macdonald, scripted by John Hodge and directed by Danny Boyle, the team behind Shallow Grave (1994), Trainspotting was an adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s barbed novel of the same title. The film is crucial for understanding British culture in the context of devolution and the rise of ‘Cool Britannia’. Murray Smith unpicks the processes that led to Trainspotting’s enormous success. He isolates various factors – the film’s eclectic soundtrack, its depiction of Scottish identity, its attitude to deprivation, drugs and violence, its traffic with American cultural forms, its synthesis of realist and fantastic elements, and its complicated relationship to ‘heritage’ – that make Trainspotting such a vivid document of its time. Although it heralded a false dawn for British film-making,Trainspotting is, Smith concludes, both authentically vernacular and yet transnational in its influences and ambitions.In his afterword to this new edition, Murray Smith reflects on the original film 25 years after its release, and its 2017 sequel T2: Trainspotting also directed by Boyle. Smith also considers Danny Boyle''s subsequent directorial career, with highlights including Slumdog Millionaire (2008) and the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony.

Její kniha je cenným zdrojem informací o dlouhodobém výzkumu psychologie malých dětí pro odborníky i rodiče. Poukazuje na to, jak závažné jsou rané vztahy pro emoční, sociální a kognitivní vývoj. Úspěšně spojuje pozorovací metody při výzkumu vývoje dětí s psychoanalytickým pozorováním nemluvněte. Četné fotografie dokumentují dlouhodobá sledování citového rozvoje dětí v rodině a odhalují jejich jedinečnou schopnost komunikovat s okolím. Je na nich patrná touha dětí po spolupráci, radost z interakcí a sdíleného objevování světa. V současné době, kdy je západní společnost mnohdy až nezdravě zaměřená na výkon, přináší významné sdělení, že dobrá citová vazba a sociální interakce mezi rodiči a dítětem jsou základem úspěšného kognitivního vývoje a že kvalitní raná péče je podmíněna dostatečnou délkou rodičovské dovolené a bezpečným vztahem malých dětí se zaměstnanci jeslí. Sociální porozumění a spolupráce, citová vazba, seberegulace a kontrola a kognitivní vývoj (s důrazem na prokázanou prospěšnost prohlížení obrázkových knížek) jsou základními tématy této publikace.

THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER A WATERSTONES POLITICS PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR, 2018 The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society.This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them. Told from this first-hand perspective, and backed with impressive research and evidence, the book addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel’s U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture, and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away. In each chapter he also takes a step back to look at the bigger issues which lie behind a continent’s death-wish, answering the question of why anyone, let alone an entire civilisation, would do this to themselves?He ends with two visions of Europe – one hopeful, one pessimistic – which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next.

Get out there now and buy it. The ghost of David Bowie says that you really must' Patrick McCabeIn a small corner of a field in Wales, Tiffany Murray is hiding with Boggle the dog, dreaming of her mum's moussaka, blackberry and apple crumble, and, if she's lucky, ice-cold lemonade.A sheep bleats. The smell of hay tickles her nose. The twang of a guitar and crack of a snare carry on the breeze.It's the late 1970s and Tiff lives with her mum, Joan, at Rockfield, the iconic recording studios. This place of legend, where some of the most famous rock albums of all time were recorded, is the background to a freewheeling, ever-changing whirlwind of a childhood. Tiff's days are spent running around the farm, making friends with local wildlife and helping out with the endless array of dishes her mum creates to keep the bands fed.She's looking for a dog, she's looking for a father; but the one constant throughout is her and Joan, building an unconventional family in the most unlikely of locations. My Family and Other Rock Stars is Tiff's remarkable, truly unique story of growing up in a rural idyll, of Cordon Bleu cookery and of a childhood where the chances of bumping into Freddie Mercury playing piano, or a group of Hell's Angels turning up to record for Lemmy, or even the hope of David Bowie appearing, were as normal as hopscotch and homework.
