The Sunday Times bestseller ‘An utterly engrossing book’ Nigella Lawson ‘Remarkable and gripping’ Edmund de Waal''A near-perfect study of Jewish identity in the 20th century … I don’t hesitate to call it a masterpiece’ TelegraphAfter her grandmother died, Hadley Freeman travelled to her apartment to try and make sense of a woman she’d never really known. Sala Glass was a European expat in America – defiantly clinging to her French influences, famously reserved, fashionable to the end – yet to Hadley much of her life remained a mystery. Sala’s experience of surviving one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history was never spoken about.When Hadley found a shoebox filled with her grandmother’s treasured belongings, it started a decade-long quest to find out their haunting significance and to dig deep into the extraordinary lives of Sala and her three brothers. The search takes Hadley from Picasso’s archives in Paris to a secret room in a farmhouse in Auvergne to Long Island and to Auschwitz.By piecing together letters, photos and an unpublished memoir, Hadley brings to life the full story of the Glass siblings for the first time: Alex’s past as a fashion couturier and friend of Dior and Chagall; trusting and brave Jacques, a fierce patriot for his adopted country; and the brilliant Henri who hid in occupied France – each of them made extraordinary bids for survival during the Second World War. And alongside her great-uncles’ extraordinary acts of courage in Vichy France, Hadley discovers her grandmother’s equally heroic but more private form of female self-sacrifice.A moving memoir following the Glass siblings throughout the course of the twentieth-century as they each make their own bid for survival, House of Glass explores assimilation, identity and home – issues that are deeply relevant today.

From New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday and The Ways We Hide comes a story of one woman's journey through Portland's Chinatown and its infamous Shanghai tunnels, giving voice to those in the shadows in a spellbinding story of a young half-Chinese mother and her determination to forge a future for her daughter in a world that shuns outsiders. From the New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday and The Ways We HideShe came from a lineage known for good fortune...by those who don't know the whole story. Portland, 1888. Amid the subterranean labyrinth of the notorious Shanghai Tunnels, a woman awakens in an underground cell, drugged and disguised. Celia soon realizes she's a "shanghaied" victim on the verge of being shipped off as forced labor, leaving behind those she loves most. Although well accustomed to adapting for survival-being half-Chinese, passing as white during an era fraught with anti-Chinese sentiment-she fears that far more than her own fate lay at stake. As she pieces together the twisting path that led to her abduction, from serving as a maid for the family of a dubious mayor to becoming entwined in the case of a goldminers' massacre, revelations emerge of a child left in peril. Desperate, Celia must find a way to escape and return to a place where unearthed secrets can prove even more deadly than the dark recesses of Chinatown. A captivating tale of resilience and hope, The Girls of Good Fortune explores the complexity of family and identity, the importance of stories that echo through generations, and the power of strength found beneath the surface.

V týchto hlboko osobných memoároch sa Hadley Vlahosová, vášnivá obhajkyňa terminálnej starostlivosti, chce s nami podeliť o dojímavé príbehy z posledných momentov života jej pacientov, príbehy o radosti, múdrosti a vykúpení. Hovoriť o smrti a umieraní sa v slušnej spoločnosti pokladá za tabu, dokonca aj v oblasti zdravotníctva. Naše predstavy o umieraní sú nanajvýš nejasné. Budú nám pred očami prebleskovať scény zo života? Ovládne naše spomienky ľútosť? Objaví sa na konci tunela jasné svetlo? Pre väčšinu ľudí bude umieranie skôr pomalý proces, ktorý môže uľahčiť príprava, dobrá nálada a trocha viery. O zmenu postojov k paliatívnej starostlivosti sa usiluje hospicová sestra Hadley Vlahosová, ktorá v knihe dokazuje, že starostlivosť na konci života nás môže veľa naučiť nielen o tom, ako zomierame, ale aj o tom, ako treba žiť. V knihe Na rozhraní autorka rozpráva o najhlbších zážitkoch s ľuďmi, o ktorých sa starala – so ženou, ktorá nikdy nepochybovala o svojej viere, až kým sa nedostala na prah smrti, o staršom mužovi, ktorému sa zjavila jeho mŕtva dcéra, až po mladú pacientku, ľutujúcu, že strávila veľkú časť svojho krátkeho života v obavách, čo si o nej myslia iní – pričom sa s ňou podelila s vlastným fascinujúcim príbehom. Tieto dojímavé memoáre, napísané s hlbokým pochopením, pokorou a rešpektom, ukazujú, že starostlivosť o druhých nám môže zmeniť život. Zároveň poskytuje múdrosť a útechu ľuďom, čo sa vyrovnávajú so stratou, a ponúka im inšpiráciu, ako žiť ďalej.

A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR‘An absolute joy to read and an early contender for every list of History Books of the Year’ Sunday Telegraph‘On nearly every page a random passage takes one’s breath away’ The TimesHave you ever heard the march of legions on a lonely country road? For two thousand years, the roads the Romans built have determined the flow of ideas and folktales, where battles were fought and where pilgrims trod. Almost everyone in Britain lives close to a Roman road, if only we knew where to look.In the beginning was Watling Street, the first road scored on the land when the invading Romans arrived on a cold and alien Kentish shore in 43 CE. Campaign roads rolled out to all points of the compass, forcing their way inland and as the Britons fell back, the roads pursued them relentlessly, carrying troops, supplies and military despatches. In the years of fighting that followed, as the legions pushed onwards across what is now England, into Wales and north into Scotland in search of booty, mineral wealth, land and tribute, they left behind a vast road network, linking marching camps and forts, changing the landscape, etching the story of the Roman advance into the face of the land, channelling our lives today.Christopher Hadley, acclaimed author of Hollow Places, takes us on a lyrical journey into this past, retracing and searching for an elusive Roman road that sprang from one of the busiest road hubs in Roman Britain. His passage is not always easy. Time and nature have erased many clues; bridges rotted and whole woods grew across the route. Carters found an easier ford downstream, and people broke up its milestones to mend new paths. Year after year the heavy clay swallowed whole lengths of it; the once mighty road became a bridleway, an overgrown hollow-way, a parched mark in the soil.Hadley leads us on a hunt to discover, in Hilaire Belloc’s phrase, ‘all that has arisen along the way’. Gathering traces of archaeology, history and landscape from poems, church walls, hag stones and cropmarks, oxlips, killing places, hauntings and immortals, and things buried too deep for archaeology, The Road is a mesmerising journey into two thousand years of history only now giving up its secrets.

Pokud existují tři věci, které posunou vaše fotografování, jsou to: kompozice, kompozice a kompozice. Bylo by možné to říci i jinak třemi slovy na K: kreativní kompozice, kámo. To třetí slovíčko, „kámo“, je možné dle libosti nahradit jiným, vaší přirozenosti bližším, třeba „kapišto?“ apod. Michael Freeman ve své nejnovější knize zúročil mnoho let své fotografické i pedagogické praxe a spolupráce s řadou vydavatelství prestižních časopisů i publikací. Staví před fotografa zásadní otázku: Jak jste spokojen se svými fotografiemi? Chcete se posunout dál? A odpovídá na ni jasně a konkrétně: Jde to, ale musíte probudit svoji kreativitu. Fotografující majitelé fotoaparátů jsou velmi často sváděni vějičkami typu: Tři rady (nebo pět, deset…), které hned a výrazně vylepší vaše fotografie. Tak jako neexistují žádné úžasné a 100% návody na rychlé zhubnutí, zbohatnutí nebo naučení se několika cizím jazykům, neexistuje ani žádný instantní návod na dobrou fotografii. Existuje ale několik cest, jak se naučit fotografovat lépe. Michael Freeman těch cest ukazuje 50. Jde o způsoby, jak probudit vlastní kreativitu a jak se naučit s ní pracovat. Kreativita není něco, co bylo někomu dáno a jinému odepřeno. Je však zapotřebí ji v sobě hledat a objevovat. Je možné naučit se pravidlo třetin a potom čekat, až se fotografie zlepší. Freemanova kniha 50 cest ke kreativní fotografii není seznamem několika pravidel a neobsahuje ani zázračné pilulky proti špatným fotografiím. Je to praktický, bezpečný a zasvěcený průvodce na cestě ke kreativní fotografii. Autor knihy, Michael Freeman, mezinárodně uznávaný fotograf a propagátor digitální fotografie, je českým čtenářům velmi dobře známý. Překlady většiny jeho bestsellerů vyšly ve vydavatelství Zoner Press, nejznámější z nich jsou Očima fotografa, Myslete jako fotograf, Dobrá fotografie nebo Perfektní expozice, které tuto publikaci skvěle doplňují.

Crying Freeman: Plačící drak je přístupný od osmnácti let výše. Nabízí příběh vraha, který se zamiluje do jedné ze svých obětí. Crying Freeman je kriminálka, ve které se spojuje romantika s brutální nelítostností. Je to jako příběh Romeo a Julie převyprávěný markýzem de Sade a natočený Tony Scottem. Japonsky přepálené emoce a osudovost se tu střetávají s tím, co se pohledu evropana může jevit jako naprostá amorálnost. To vše navíc naprosto precizně vykreslené s perfektně rozfázovanými akčními scénami. Text praví: Jmenuje se Jo Hinomura a je nájemným vrahem čínské mafie zvané Sto osm draků. V kriminálním podsvětí, které z něj má strach, je však známý jako Plačící drak, zabiják, který nad osudem svých obětí prolévá slzy. Mladý, krásný a citlivý umělec Jo byl svými dračími pány psychologicky naprogramován, aby zabíjel na rozkaz. Vůli svých pánů se vzepřít nemůže, oni však zase nemohou zastavit jeho slzy lítosti. Manga Crying Freeman, kterou napsal legendární Kazuo Koike, autor série Lone Wolf and Cub (Osamělý vlk a vlče), a nakreslil nedostižný Rjoiči Ikegami, je čtením pro dospělé se vším všudy: je temná, násilná, morálně složitá a eroticky nabitá. Po celém světě je považovaná za mistrovské dílo v oblasti komiksů pro dospělé a je jedním z klenotů mezi dnes již klasickými mangami.

Richard Austin Freeman (1862 - 1943), podobne ako jeho slávny spisovateľský predchodca sir Arthur Conan Doyle, bol pôvodným povolaním lekár. Svoje medicínske poznatky a metódy práce dokázal dobre zužitkovať aj vo svojej literárnej tvorbe: stal sa duchovným otcom literárnej postavy prvého vedeckého detektíva, súdneho lekára Dr. Thorndyka, predobrazu dnešných forenzných vyšetrovateľov. Ešte aj dnes dýchajú jeho pátrania čarom a milou patinou zaprášeného chemického laboratória s Bunsenovým horákom. Dr. John Thorndyke - impozantný gentleman s neodmysliteľným zeleným kufríkom, v ktorom si nosí prenosné laboratórium, je predchodcom dnešného žánru forenznej detektívky. Nadväzuje na vedeckú, "chemickú" stránku svojho predobrazu - slávneho Sherlocka Holmesa. R. Austin Freeman vo svojich detektívnych príbehoch kladie dôraz na perfektne prepracovanú technickú stránku zločinu a pri jeho vyšetrovaní na vedecké skúmanie materiálnych stôp. Kosti zavraždených obetí spievajú: Dr. Thorndyke hovorí, že každý predmet vie zaspievať svoju pieseň, ak pozorne nastražíme uši. Všetky experimenty a teórie, ktoré spisovateľ autor využil vo svojich detektívkach, ako vedec aj sám otestoval v laboratóriu. Na základe poznatkov špecializovaných vied Dr. Thorndyke s brilantnou logikou vyvodzuje svoje neotrasiteľné závery, vedúce k odhaleniu vraha. Richard Austin Freeman má významné miesto vo vývine detektívneho žánru: ako prvý ešte pred pátrom Knoxom sformuloval detektívne pravidlá fair play a vyskúšal si aj experiment tzv. príbehu obráteného naruby (inverted story). S prekladom jeho detektívneho románu prichádza k nášmu čitateľovi absolútna detektívna klasika.

Před čtyřmi lety byl Rudy Cutter odsouzen za své činy na doživotí. Aby ho dostali za mříže, někdo záměrně falšoval spisy. Po odhalení této machinace je Rudy, vrah Frostovy sestry, znovu volný. Frost to však hodlá co nejrychleji napravit. Spojence nachází v Eden Shayové, která píše o Cutterovi knihu. A která se obává jeho pomsty. Sehrát vítěznou partii s vrahem, jenž se chystá znovu udeřit, však není jednoduché. Ne, když Frost zároveň čelí vlastním démonům. Ne, když je ta hra tak osobní. A ne, když vrahův následující tah je na hony vzdálen tomu, co Easton očekává.

''A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS''FASCINATING… SHOCKING'' SPECTATORWhat is paranoia? What makes us anxious? How can this be overcome?Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey.For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head.He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments.This is also a practical book. Freeman shows how we can measure our own levels of mistrust. He explains how we can remedy things if those levels are higher than we’d like, because although mistrust can seem engrained, things can change for the better. Ultimately, it can be overcome. Compelling and compassionate, this is a gripping tale from the front line of suspicion – an impassioned plea for the urgent rebuilding of trust between us all.

Jason Bourne tackles a global media conspiracy and a murderous tech giant in the latest electrifying entry in Robert Ludlum's New York Times bestselling series. Bourne is back... Jason Bourne has faced many killers before, but none as dangerous as the assassin who calls himself Lennon. Bourne thought he had Lennon cornered in Iceland, only to have the killer escape in a fiery explosion. Now Lennon's trail leads Bourne to New York and then to Washington D.C. and the body count rises with each deadly encounter. Bourne believes the assassin has a shadowy new employer called the Pyramid. The only clue to the group's agenda is a young German woman, murdered in D.C. on her way to a covert meeting. But the woman's entire identity turns out to be a lie, and news reports of her death have been strangely twisted and suppressed. Finding the truth about this woman may be Bourne's only chance to catch Lennon and uncover the conspiracy behind the Pyramid. But the chase comes with high stakes. Bourne's former lover, journalist Abbey Laurent, is digging into the mystery too, and the battle against Lennon and the Pyramid will soon put Abbey in the assassin's crosshairs. Bourne will need to use every bit of his tradecraft and his genius for mayhem to expose this web of lies and murder before Lennon kills the woman he loves. Praise for Brian Freeman's Bourne books: 'Freeman has a firm grasp of Bourne's tangled background plus the skills to keep the action front and center. Bourne fans will hope for an encore from this talented author' Publishers Weekly 'Freeman's first Jason Bourne thriller is a treat for fans of the late Robert Ludlum' Kirkus Reviews

Over the course of ten years, Freeman''s has introduced the English-speaking world to countless writers of international import and acclaim, from Olga Tokarczuk to Valeria Luiselli, while also spotlighting brilliant writers working in English, from Tommy Orange to Tess Gunty. Now, in its last issue, this unique literary project ponders all the ways of reaching a fitting conclusion.For Sayaka Murata, keeping up with the comings and goings of fashion and its changing emotional landscapes can mean being left behind, and in her poem ''Amenorrhea'' Julia Alverez experiences the end of the line as menopause takes hold. Yet sometimes an end is merely a beginning, as Barry Lopez meditates while walking through the snowy Oregonian landscapes. While Chinelo Okparanta''s story ''Fatu'' confronts the end of a relationship under the spectre of new life, other writers look towards aging as an opportunity for rebirth, such as Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, who takes on the role of being her own elder, comforting herself in the ways that her grandmother used to. Finally, in his comic story ''Everyone at Dinner Has a Max Von Sydow Story,'' Dave Eggers suggests that sometimes stories don''t have neat or clean endings - that sometimes the middle is enough.With new writing from Sandra Cisneros, Colum McCann, Omar El Akkad and Mieko Kawakami, Freeman''s: Conclusions is a testament to the startling power of literature to conclude in a state of beauty, fear and promise.

Outsider Classics is Dead Ink''s resurrection ground for the strange, the silenced, and the outcasts. This series exhumes lost literary voices that were ahead of their time to restore them to the cult status they always deserved. From forgotten masterpieces to once-censored provocations, each title is a reaction against the canon curated for readers who want to stray into the margins and away from the mainstream. Dick and Reggie are ''leather boys'', working-class London teens with an affinity for leather jackets and motorcycles who become friends through their involvement in a gang. For Dick, the money he gets from the gang''s thefts helps to support his ailing grandmother; for Reggie, membership in the gang provides relief from an unhappy home life and a loveless marriage. When Reggie decides to leave his unfaithful wife and move in with Dick, the two soon discover their feelings for each other are much stronger than mere friendship. As they make plans for their future together, will they find the happiness they seek, or is their love doomed to end in tragedy? The first novel to offer an authentic portrayal of love between ordinary, working-class young men, Gillian Freeman''s The Leather Boys is a groundbreaking classic of gay fiction that remains moving and compelling today. Freeman''s novel and its 1964 film adaptation played a vital part in liberalizing British attitudes towards homosexuality.

A monumental and exhilarating history of European thought, from the fall of Rome in the fifth century AD to the Scientific Revolution thirteen centuries later.The Awakening traces the recovery and refashioning of Europe''s classical heritage from the ruins of the Roman Empire. The process of preservation of surviving texts, fragile at first, was strengthened under the Christian empire founded by Charlemagne in the eighth century; later, during the High Middle Ages, universities were founded and the study of philosophy was revived. Renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman thought provided the intellectual impetus for the Renaissance of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, whose ideas – aesthetic, political and scientific – were disseminated across Europe by the invention of the printing press. Equally momentous was Europe''s encounter with the New World, and the resulting maritime supremacy which conferred global reach on Europe''s merchants and colonists. Vivid in detail and informed by the latest scholarship, The Awakening is powered not by the fate of kings or the clash of arms but by deeper currents of thought, inquiry and discovery, which first recover and then surpass the achievements of classical antiquity, and lead the West to the threshold of the Age of Reason. Charles Freeman takes the reader on an enthralling journey, and provides us with a vital key to understanding the world we live in today.Praise for The Awakening: ''The Awakening is a work of serious scholarship by an author who has clearly been everywhere, seen everything and read voraciously. But it is also a work written with great elan and, given its scope, undertaken with considerable courage'' Christopher Lloyd, Surveyor of the Queen''s Pictures, 1988-2005''The Awakening recounts the slow evolution of Western thought that restored legitimacy to independent examination and analysis, that eventually led to a celebration, albeit a cautious one, of reason over blind faith.'' Stan Prager''The Awakening is a very timely book and an excellently written and produced one. Freeman is a good host, a superb narrator and tells his story with aplomb'' International Times

It’s girls that are in trouble.There has been a sudden and universal deterioration in girls’ mental health, starting in primary school and devastating the teen years.Raising Girls in the 21st Century is both a guidebook and a call-to-arms for parents. The five key stages of girlhood are laid out so that you know exactly what matters at which age, and how to build strength and connectedness into your daughter from infancy onwards.Raising Girls in the 21st Century is both fierce and tender in its mission to help girls more at every age. It’s a book for parents who love their daughters deeply, whether they are newborns, teenagers, young women – or anywhere in between.Feeling secure, becoming an explorer, getting along with others, finding her soul, and becoming a woman – at last, there is a clear map of girls’ minds that accepts no limitations, narrow roles or selling-out of your daughter’s potential or uniqueness.All the hazards are signposted – bullying, eating disorders, body image and depression, social media harms and helps – as are concrete and simple measures for both mums and dads to help prevent their daughters from becoming victims. Parenthood is restored to an exciting journey, not one worry after another, as it’s so often portrayed.Steve talks to the world’s leading voices on girls’ needs and makes their ideas clear and simple, adding his own humour and experience through stories that you will never forget. Even the illustrations, by Kimio Kubo, provide unique and moving glimpses into the inner lives of girls.Along with his fellow psychologists worldwide, Steve is angry at the exploitation and harm being done to girls today. With Raising Girls in the 21st Century he strives to spark a movement to end the trashing of girlhood; equipping parents to deal with the modern world, and getting the media off the backs of our daughters.Raising Girls in the 21st Century is powerful, practical and positive. Your heart, head and hands will be strengthened by its message.
