Through his leading role in the three Superman films, Christopher Reeve became so closely identified with the superhero that he wasn''t just seen as the actor who played Superman, he was Superman. Which is why the tragic riding accident which left him paralysed from the neck down shocked the world. Superman was not superhuman. It is also why he is now the world''s most recognisable person in a wheelchair. In true superhero style, Christopher Reeve refuses to resign himself to the life of a quadriplegic, and is actively campaigning to raise the profile of spinal-cord injury victims and research. Although he was initially told that he would only ever be able to move his head, he can now shrug his shoulders and breathe alone for increasing periods of time, and is determined that he will walk again. It is this extraordinary courage and determination that has made Christopher Reeve the internationally admired figure that he is, and it is this bravery which makes this autobiography about his paralysis and his journey to recovery such a powerful and moving story.

Simon Reeve velice podrobně, přitom ale nesmírně čtivě líčí nejen průběh dne 5. září 1972, kdy palestinští teroristé na dvacátých olympijských hrách v Mnichově zajali část izraelské sportovní výpravy. Popisuje zoufalé snažení nepřipravených německých policistů, reakce vládních činitelů, všeobecný chaos, všudypřítomné zvědavce a média informující o neštěstí v přímém přenosu. Když vylíčí tragický konec nepovedené záchranné policejní operace, věnuje se tajným akcím izraelské vlády stíhající a vraždící palestinské pachatele. V závěru pojedná o snahách německé vlády celou záležitost vymazat z paměti, aby nevyšlo najevo její pochybení, a opačné úsilí pozůstalých vytrvale žádajících spravedlnost a připomínajících památku mrtvých. Při psaní autor vycházel hlavně z materiálů shromážděných pro natáčení dokumentárního filmu, oceněného Oscarem. Vyprávění dodává Reeve dramatičnost a emotivnost nejen přímými výpověďmi jednotlivých osob, ale i domýšlenými dialogy tak, že kniha působí téměř jako napínavý špionážní román. Dává hlas všem, ale vzhledem k mlčenlivosti oficiálních činitelů zaznívají přece jen nejvíce hlasy pozůstalých, a přes veškerou snahu o nezaujatost je jasné, na čí straně jsou autorovy sympatie. Kniha není jen strhujícím popisem jedné konkrétní teroristické akce, ale přerůstá v obecnou a velmi aktuální připomínku toho, jak nesnadné je vypořádat se s terorismem a jak mu média mimoděk nahrávají.

The Hibs are Here is the follow up to Ian Colquhoun''s previous book on Hibernian Football Club: From Oblivion to Hampden. That culminated in the club''s successful League Cup winning season in 1991/92. This next volume is subtitled Miller to Millennium and charts the period from 1992 through to 1999. With fresh insight via exclusive interviews with a number of the club''s players, coaches and managers, Colquhoun threads these together with a fan narrative and analysis of that iconic decade. He relives the joy of a UEFA Cup run, reaching another cup final and an historic third-placed finish in the Scottish Premiership; the highs and lows of an instant promotion following relegation; and the heartbreak of losing that final and two semi-final defeats. From the pen of a passionate Hibs fan who was there for it all, The Hibs are Here is a wonderful trip down memory lane for any Hibernian supporter.

''A riveting take on an extraordinary relationship'' - Richard Eden, Daily Mail''A fresh and original approach'' - Hugo Vickers, Royal BiographerShe was ''sugar pink'' innocence; he was a handsome war hero. Both had royal blood coursing through their veins. The marriage of Britain''s Princess Elizabeth to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in November 1947 is remembered as the beginning of an extraordinary, lifelong union but success was not guaranteed. Elizabeth and Philip: A Story of Young Love, Marriage and Monarchy plunges us back into the 1940s when a teenage princess fell in love with a foreign prince. Cue fears of a flirtatious ''Greek'' fortune hunter stealing off with Britain''s crown jewel and Philip''s supporters scrambling to reframe him as a good fit for the Royal Family. Drawing on original newspaper archives and the opinions of Elizabeth and Philip''s contemporaries, historian Dr Tessa Dunlop discovers a post-war world on the cusp of major change. Unprecedented polling on Philip''s suitability was a harbinger of pressures to come for a couple whose marriage was branded the ultimate global fairytale. Theirs was a partnership like no other. Six years after Elizabeth promised to be an obedient wife Philip got down on bended knee at the coronation and committed himself as the Queen''s ''liege man of life and limb.'' Published 75 years after their marriage, this deeply touching history explores the ups and downs, the public appeal and the private tensions that defined an extraordinary relationship. The high stakes involved might have devoured a less committed pair - but Elizabeth and Philip shared a common purpose, one higher even than marriage, with roots much deeper than young love. Happy and Glorious, for better or for worse, how did their union succeed? Monarchy was the magic word.

A new translation of the classic English poem that inspired Malory, stunningly illustrated with linocuts by the author.King Arthur’s Death (commonly referred to as the Alliterative Morte Arthure) is a Middle English poem that was written in Lincolnshire at the end of the fourteenth century. A source work for Malory’s later Morte d’Arthur, it is an epic tale which documents the horrors of war, the loneliness of kingship and the terrible price paid for arrogance.This magnificent poem tells of the arrival of emissaries from Imperial Rome demanding that Arthur pays his dues as a subject. It is Arthur’s refusal to accept these demands, and the premise of foreign domination, which leads him on a quest to confront his foes and challenge them for command of his lands.Combining heroic action, probing insight into human frailty and a great attention to contemporary detail, King Arthur’s Death is not only a lesson in effective kingship, it is also an astonishing mirror on our own times, highlighting the folly of letting stubborn dogma drive political decisions.

Audiokniha: PRVNÍ ROZHLASOVÁ HRA VYSÍLANÁ PO 70 LETECH ŽIVĚ 17. 9. 2017 „Obstarali jsme si i zelnou hlávku, abychom mohli zachytit samotný okamžik vraždy“ Artur Conan Doyle: SHERLOCK HOLMES ve státních službách Sherlock Holmes: Honza Hájek John Watson: Pavel Batěk Fama Quartet Dále účinkují: Marika Procházková, Lukáš Příkazký, Jana Boušková, Tomáš Pavelka, Ladislav Hampl, Jiří Hána a Hanuš Bor Reportáž: Tomáš Černý Režie: Vít Vencl Povídka Bruce-Partingtonovy dokumenty vyšla časopisecky v roce 1908. Během první světové války ji Arthur Conan Doyle zařadil do knihy Poslední poklona Sherlocka Holmese (1917), zřejmě i díky jejímu vlasteneckému podtextu. Později ji zahrnul i do seznamu svých nejoblíbenějších povídek. Čtyři mikrofony, u kterých se střídají herci, kout pro ruchaře a muzikanti strčení v díře... Naposledy se takhle u nás rozhlasová hra vysílala v roce 1948. Retro spojení snad nejklasičtější detektivky a dřevního způsobu natáčení se zdá velmi inspirativní. A to nejen kvůli blízkosti časů zrodu, ale především obdobným potenciálem hravosti a nadhledu. „V přímém přenosu vytvoříme ve vinohradském Studiu 2 s pomocí ruchařů i přítomných diváků ulice Londýna, byt v Baker Street i restauraci, kde se Sherlock schází s dr. Watsonem. Při odhalování vraha budeme přelézat zdi, rozbíjet okna i páčit pokladny,“ slibuje režisér inscenace Vít Vencl. „Studio 2 ještě živé vysílání her pamatuje, vlastně pro ně tenkrát bylo i zkonstruováno,“ vysvětluje Vít Vencl. Kromě herců, ruchařů a smyčcového kvarteta se ve studiu našlo místo i pro několik diváků, kteří se v určitých částech hry stávali její součástí. Například při scéně v restauraci, kde se Holmes sejde s doktorem Watsonem, vytvářeli ruch místnosti plné lidí.“ Máte-li zájem o recenzní CD, pište na adresu: monika.oweyssi@rozhlas.cz Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle byl anglický autor detektivních próz, nejvýznamnější představitel tohoto žánru ve světové literatuře. Inspirován dílem Wilkieho Collinse a Edgara Allana Poea, ovlivnil Arthur Doyle všechny pozdější významné autory detektivek. Vytvořil postavy geniálního detektiva Sherlocka Holmese, udivujícího brilántní dedukcí i hrou na housle, a jeho přítele, spolupracovníka a obdivovatele dr. Watsona. Inspirací pro postavu Sherlocka Holmese byl dr. Joseph Bell, jeden z profesorů, kterého Doyle potkal při svých studiích medicíny.

In the vein of Neil Strauss The Game and Joshua Foer s Moonwalking with Einstein comes the fascinating story of one man s colorful, mysterious, and personal journey into the world of magic, and his unlikely invitation into an underground secret society of revolutionary magicians from around the world. Magic Is Dead is Ian Frisch s head-first dive into a hidden world full of extraordinary characters and highly guarded secrets. It is a story of imagination, deception, and art that spotlights today s most brilliant young magicians a mysterious club known as the52, who are revolutionizing an ancient artform under the mantra Magic Is Dead. Ian brings us with him as he not only gets to know this fascinating world, but also becomes an integral part of it. We meet the52 s founding members Laura London, Daniel Madison, and Chris Ramsay and explore their personal demons, professional aspirations, and what drew them to their craft. We join them at private gatherings of the most extraordinary magicians working today, follow them to magic conventions in Las Vegas and England, and discover some of the best tricks of the trade. We also encounter David Blaine; hang out with Penn Jillette; meet Dynamo, the U.K. s most famous magician; and go behind the scenes of a Netflix magic show. Magic Is Dead is also a chronicle of magic s rich history and how it has changed in the internet age, as the young guns embrace social media and move away from the old-school take on the craft. As he tells the story of the52, and his role as its most unlikely member, Ian reveals his own connection with trickery and deceit and how he first learned the elements that make magic work from his poker-playing mother. He recalls their adventures in card rooms and casinos after his father s sudden death, and shares a touching moment that he had, as a working journalist, with his childhood idol Shaquille O Neal. Magic the romanticism of the inexplicable, the awe and admiration of the unexpected is an underlying force in how we view the world and its myriad possibilities, Ian writes. As his journey continues, Ian not only becomes a performer and creator of magic even fooling the late Anthony Bourdain during a chance encounter he also cements a new brotherhood, and begins to understand his relationship with his father, fifteen years after his death. Written with psychological acuity and a keen eye for detail, Magic Is Dead is an engrossing tale full of wonder and surprise.
