Deserves the status both as a valuable historical source and as a stand-out memoir' Daily Express'A story that needs to be heard' 5***** Reader Review Entering Terezin, a Nazi concentration camp, Franci was expected to die. She refused. In the summer of 1942, twenty-two-year-old Franci Rabinek - designated a Jew by the Nazi racial laws - arrived at Terezin, a concentration camp and ghetto forty miles north of her home in Prague. It would be the beginning of her three-year journey from Terezin to the Czech family camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau, to the slave labour camps in Hamburg, and finally to Bergen Belsen. Franci, a spirited and glamorous young woman, was known among her fellow inmates as the Prague dress designer. Having endured the transportation of her parents, she never forgot her mother's parting words:'Your only duty to us is to stay alive'. During an Auschwitz selection, Franci would spontaneously lie to Nazi officer Dr Josef Mengele, and claim to be an electrician. A split-second decision that would go on to endanger - and ...

Frank Sayi grew up in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, in the 1970s. His childhood straddled two very significant periods in his country''s history, both of which heavily influenced his memoir. The first was the war of liberation (1975-1979), closely followed by the post-independence internecine war (1981-1987).Crucially, Frank was raised in a native reserve in colonial Rhodesia, a country under white minority rule, governed by Ian Smith''s racist and illegal regime. Native reserves were places of repression, and containment-replete of hope.Frank and his two older sisters, Thoko and Gift, lived with their grandmother, a stern, wise, mercurial matriarch, capable of intimidating severity, and her son Uncle Sami.

In the vineyards, wine caves, and cellars of France as war and occupation came to the country winemakers acted heroically not only to save the best wines but to defend their way of life. These are the true stories of vignerons who sheltered Jewish refugees in their cellars and of winemakers who risked their lives to aid the resistance. They made chemicals in secret laboratories to fuel the resistance and fled from the Gestapo when arrests became imminent. There were treacheries too, as some of the nation''s winemakers supported the Vichy regime or the Germans themselves and collaborated. Donald Kladstrup is a retired American network correspondent. He and his wife Petie have accumulated these fascinating stories, told with the pace and action that will fascinate fiction and non-fiction readers alike.

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 ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Drawing on decades of personal and professional experience, Dr. Mark Epstein considers how his practice of psychotherapy and meditation can be used in tandem to lead his patients, and himself, to greater awareness and fulfillment.For much of his career, Dr. Mark Epstein kept his beliefs as a Buddhist separate from his work as a psychiatrist. But as he became more forthcoming with his patients about his personal spiritual leanings, he was surprised to find how many of them were eager to learn more. The divisions between the psychological, emotional, and the spiritual, he soon realized, were not as distinct as one might think.In The Zen of Therapy, Dr. Epstein reflects on a year’s worth of selected sessions with his patients and observes how, in a given hour, his Buddhist background influences his work. He emphasizes how Western therapy can be considered a two-person meditation, and how mindfulness, much like a good therapist, can “hold” awareness, creating the necessary conditions for inner peace. Throughout this deeply personal and wise inquiry, Dr. Epstein illuminates the therapy relationship as a spiritual friendship, and reveals how a therapist can help us realize that there is something magical running through our fraught lives.

Audiokniha: Hluboko v lese, kde si jezevci staví nory a lišky se tiše plíží vysokou trávou, bydlí jezevec jménem Jezi. Žije obyčejný jezevčí život – honí králíky, staví podzemní chodby a sní o ztracené lásce. Jenže jednoho dne se vše změní a Jezi se ztratí mezi světem živých a zemřelých. Adié, blechy, teď právě začíná dobrodružná cesta, na které potkáme bodlinaté ježky, drzé králíky i tajemného sýčka. Jezi se musí postavit mnoha nástrahám a společně s novými přáteli zjistit, co je v životě (a po něm!) skutečně důležité. Zubatá je hravý, napínavý příběh plný humoru i poučení o životě, smrti a přátelství, který potěší malé i velké posluchače.

Vlídný, dojemný, osudový, nenahraditelný, ale někdy složitý, zpočátku i nedůvěřivý... Pes je prý nejlepší přítel člověka. Jak lidé u psů, tak také psi u lidí hledají to, co jim někdy nemůže poskytnout jejich vlastní druh – společnost, útěchu v samotě, ochranu či přátelství, porozumění beze slov. Lidé na svých psích kamarádech oceňují jejich věrnost, oddanost, důvěru a možná v nich vidí a obdivují tak trochu sami sebe. Někteří lidé tvrdí, že s tím svým si rozumějí víc než s vlastními příbuznými. A když umře pes, je to, jako když odejde člen rodiny. „Povídková sbírka O lidech a psech skvěle ukazuje každodenní radosti a strasti života s čtyřnohým parťákem.

Tento výbor z esejů Josepha Epsteina - představující ovšem jen zlomek z jeho rozsáhlé tvorby - je veden snahou ukázat šíři a pestrost autorových zájmů. Čtenář v něm nalezne tři základní tematické okruhy. První se vytvářel v závislosti na Epsteinově povolání univerzitního učitele literatury. Jeho znalosti i přehled zejména americké literární produkce staršího i novějšího data jsou famózní. Epstein nám ukazuje, do jaké hloubky lze číst a přemýšlet o přečteném. Druhý je utvořen z jeho celoživotní snahy pochopit řeckou a římskou literární a kulturní tradici včetně latiny. To dokládají nejen rozbory děl autorů jako Hérodotos a Tacitus, ale i Epsteinova touha o proniknutí do tajů latinského jazyka. Třetí okruh je založen na jeho zájmu o věci veřejné. Epstein je "ze staré školy" a nehodlá se přizpůsobovat módním trendům, například politické korektnosti a cancel kultuře. Je však zapotřebí dodat, že jeho politická nekorektnost je chytrá, kultivovaná a vtipná. Vtip ostatně netvoří v Epsteinově díle nějaký ornament, je bytostnou součástí jeho uvažování i psaní. Tento humor svou kreativitou připomene českému čtenáři jiného brilantního anglicky píšícího esejisty - G. K. Chestertona.

he Instant Sunday Times Bestseller. As featured on Diary of a CEO.The essential guide to improving your performance, and a powerful playbook for success in any field: develop range while everyone around you is rushing to specialize. You may have been taught that success in any field requires early specialization, and 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. If you only dabble or delay, you'll never catch up with those who got a head start.This is completely wrong. In this landmark book, David Epstein shows you that the way to succeed is by sampling widely, gaining a breadth of experiences, taking detours, experimenting relentlessly and juggling many interests. Studying the world's most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors and scientists, Epstein demonstrates how generalists often find their path relatively late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one.Range has challenged the status quo, reshaped career paths, inspired parents and changed lives. Read it to learn how to be more creative, more agile, and more capable of making the connections that your more specialized peers cannot see.

‘A wonderful book. Thoughtful…fascinating’ Malcolm GladwellDo you believe some people are born athletes?Is sporting talent innate or something that can be achieved through endurance and practise?In this ground-breaking and entertaining exploration of athletic success, award-winning writer David Epstein gets to the heart of the great nature vs. nurture debate, and explodes myths about how and why humans excel.Along the way, Epstein:- Exposes the flaws in the so-called 10,000-hour rule that states that rigorous practice from a young age is the only route to success. - Shows why some skills that we imagine are innate are not – like the bullet-fast reactions of a baseball player.- Uncovers why other characteristics that we assume are entirely voluntary, like the motivation to practice, might in fact have important genetic components.Throughout, The Sports Gene forces us to rethink the very nature of success.

Philadelphia’s urban renewal efforts in the 1950s, which re-envisioned the city as a residential enclave, were an early example of gentrification. In West Philadelphia in the 1960s, a coalition of universities and hospitals went further, initiating K-12 public school improvements meant to attract an affluent and whiter population. As Edward Epstein details in Race, Real Estate, and Education, these interventions discounted the negative impact they could have on neighborhood residents. Epstein outlines the citywide context for the plan to create “University City” in West Philadelphia. He recounts the attempts to correct the segregation, overcrowding, and authoritarian management that plagued Philadelphia’s public schools. As the West Philadelphia Corporation, the proxy for the universities and hospitals, initiated gentrification efforts, the local community resisted and protested, causing the project to fail. The effort was revived with spectacular success, however, with the launch of the well-funded Penn Alexander School in 2001. Race, Real Estate, and Education shows how the pursuit of urbanist ideals sometimes deepens neighborhood injustice. Epstein’s exploration of whether Philadelphia’s overall approach was beneficial or misguided presents a cautionary tale. In the series Urban Life, Landscape, and Policy

Our ego, and its accompanying sense of self-doubt, is one affliction we all share. And while our ego claims to have our best interests at heart, in its never-ending pursuit of attention and power, it sabotages the very goals it sets to achieve. In Advice Not Given, renowned psychiatrist and author Dr Mark Epstein reveals how Buddhism and Western psychotherapy both identify the ego as the limiting factor in our wellbeing and both come to the same conclusion: when we give the ego free rein, we suffer; but when it learns to let go, we are free.Our ego is at once our biggest obstacle and our greatest hope. We can be at its mercy or we can learn to mould it. Completely unique and practical, Epstein''s advice can be used by all, and will provide wise counsel in a confusing world.

Trauma nezažívá jen několik málo nešťastných lidí. Ve skutečnosti je jedním ze základních stavebních kamenů našeho života a v té či oné podobě ho zná každý z nás. Trauma patří neodmyslitelně k lidské existenci, můžeme si však vybrat, jak se k němu budeme vztahovat. Můžeme se mu snažit vyhýbat, nebo ho můžeme využívat jako zdroj životního rozvoje. Zatímco západní psychologie nás přesvědčuje, že trauma lze zvládnout, zbavit se ho tím, že nalezneme a pochopíme jeho příčinu, příznivci východních praktik často vidí v meditaci prostředek k povznesení nebo distancování se od nepříjemných a obtěžujících emocí. Oba přístupy jsou podle Epsteina chybné, protože neuvažují o traumatu jako o neoddělitelné součásti života, která však může sloužit jako živná půda dalšího růstu a pomáhat hlubšímu pochopení života. Epstein vysvětluje, že trauma je univerzální zkušenost, která se neřídí lidskou logikou a nemusí nás nutně zničit, naopak v nás může probudit schopnost vztahovat se a být vnímavý vůči utrpení druhých. Trauma má velký transformační potenciál, může nás stejně jako Buddhu učinit lidštějšími, laskavějšími a moudřejšími.

The Heresy of Jacob Frank is the first monograph length study on the religious philosophy of Jacob Frank (1726-1791), who, in the wake of false messiah Sabbetai Zevi, led the largest mass apostasy in Jewish history. Based on close readings of Frank''s late teachings, recorded in 1784 and 1790, this book challenges scholarly presentations of Frank that depict him as a sex-crazed "degenerate," and presents Frank as an original and prescient figure at the crossroads of tradition and modernity, reason and magic, Kabbalah and Western Esotericism.Frank''s worldview combines a skeptical rejection of religious law as ineffectual and repressive with a supernatural, esoteric myth of immortal beings, material magic, and worldly power. With close readings of the theological and narrative passages of Frank''s teachings, Michaelson shows how the Frankist sect evolved from its Sabbatean roots and the infamous 1757-59 disputations before the Catholic Church, into a Western Esoteric society based on alchemy, secrecy, and sexual liberation. Sexual ritual, apparently tightly limited and controlled by the sect, was not a libertine bacchanal but an enactment of the messianic reality, a corporealization of what would later become known as spirituality.While Frank was undoubtedly a manipulative, even abusive leader whose sect mostly disappeared from ...

Angela''s Ashes, imbued on every page with Frank McCourt''s astounding humor and compassion, is a glorious book that bears all the marks of a classic."When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." So begins the luminous memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank''s mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank''s father, Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Malachy-- exasperating, irresponsible and beguiling-- does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story. Frank lives for his father''s tales of Cuchulain, who saved Ireland, and of the Angel on the Seventh Step, who brings his mother babies. Perhaps it is story that accounts for Frank''s survival.

Artists, martyrs, kings, revolutionaries: France’s sense of national identity is inextricably linked to its dramatic history, which fascinates the world and attracts millions each year to visit its chateaux and cathedrals, boulevards and vineyards.

In his first novel, Texan author Josh Rountree (The Legend of Charlie Fish) has created a devastating Frankenstein-inspired tale set in the Wild West. With equal parts Cormac McCarthy, Mary Shelley, and Stephen Graham Jones, Rountree creates a work of historical horror that deftly navigates the terrible aftermath of love and death. Catherine Coldbridge is a complicated woman: A doctor, an occultist, and, briefly, a widow. In 1879, Private Frank Humble, Catherine''s husband, was killed in a Sioux attack. Consumed by grief, she used her formidable skills to resurrect him. But Frank lost his soul after the reanimation, and disappeared after a killing spree. Unable to face her failure and its murderous consequences, Catherine fled to grieve. Twenty-five years later, Catherine has decided she must make things right. She travels back to Texas with a pair of hired killers ready to destroy Frank. But Frank has remade himself as the Unkillable Frank Lightning, traveling with the Wild West Show.
