This book is just about my favourite book of all time ...

Her book is full of the music of time SUNDAY TIMES Whenever I read the words Peer s Daughter in a headline, Lady Redesdale once sadly remarked, I know it s going to be something about one of you children. The Mitford family is one of the century s most enigmatic, made notorious by Nancy s novels, Diana s marriage to Sir Oswald Mosley, Unity s infatuation with Hitler, Debo s marriage to a duke and Jessica s passionate commitment to communism. Hons and Rebels is an enchanting and deeply absorbing memoir of an isolated and eccentric upbringing which conceals beneath its witty, light-hearted surface much wisdom and depth of feeling.

In 1381, a large army of people marched through the south-east of England to London, demanding an end to unfair taxation and threatening the rule of the boy-king, Richard II. During the eighteenth century, food riots, riots in protest at land enclosure, and riots targeting religious groups and foreigners regularly occurred. In the following century, mass gatherings demanded reform of the electoral system which allowed only a tiny proportion of the population to vote. In the early twentieth century, suffragettes chained themselves to railings, took part in huge demonstrations and endured prison sentences in pursuit of the vote for women. Recent decades have seen tens of thousands of people take to the streets of London and other cities to protest against the Iraq War and, in the last year, the war in Gaza. The only power otherwise powerless people possess lies in their numbers. Riots and Rebels is an examination of how they have exercised that power over the centuries and how governments have reacted to it. From the so-called Peasants Revolt to Just Stop Oil, via the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780, Luddites breaking machinery which threatened their livelihood, the infamous Peterloo Massacre of 1819, the Chartist demonstrations of the 1830s and 1840s, 1887 s Bloody Sunday and many other, often violent events, Nick Rennison provides a concise, compelling account of popular protest in Britain.

A powerful, lush memoir about a Hawaiian woman who ran away from paradise to discover who she is and where she belongs.Born and raised in Hawai‘i by a father whose ancestors are indigenous to the land and a mother from the American South, Jessica Machado wrestles with what it means to be “local.” Feeling separate from the history and tenets of Hawaiian culture that have been buried under the continental imports of malls and MTV, Jessica often sees her homeland reflected back to her from the tourist perspective—as an uncomplicated paradise. Her existence, however, feels far from that ideal. Balancing her parents’ divorce, an ailing mother, and growing anxiety, Jessica rebels. She moves to Los Angeles, convinced she’ll leave her complicated family behind and define herself. Instead, her isolation only becomes more severe, and her dying mother follows her to California. For Jessica, the only way to escape is a reckless downward spiral.Interwoven with a rich and nuanced exploration of Hawaiian history and traditions, Local is a personal and moving narrative about family, grief, and reconnecting to the land she tried to leave behind.

What is it like to move to a formerly communist, Eastern Bloc country just as it is coming to know the West? How much can a new and free generation teach an outsider who is willing to watch, to listen, and to integrate? Written from the perspective of an American emigrant settling in the Czech Republic not long after the fall of communism, Czech Lessons tracks the metamorphosis of both the Czech people and their new republic over the past two decades, capturing a unique period in this humble Central European country s development. Alternating between history, humor, politics, and memoir, Jessica Kendall Hankiewicz s book of essays delves into the intangible qualities that make up both a nation and a nationality, bringing daily Czech life and culture sharply into focus. From the benefits of a social democracy to the national obsession with nature, Czech Lessons not only magnifies this small country for the world to see, but also offers up a mirror for the Czech people themselves. Surrounded by remnants of a difficult past, faltering technology, and Czechs who couldn t help but stare at foreigners, I seemed to be taking several steps into the past, even as the country was careening forward with ambition. It was a rare opportunity to begin a relationship with the former Czechoslovakia as it slowly found its personality and its future.” Jaké to je přestěhovat se do post-komunistické země východního bloku v okamžiku, kdy se setkává se Západem? Co všechno může nové svobodné pokolení naučit člověka zvenku, který je ochoten sledovat, naslouchat a nechat se vtáhnout? Czech Lessons je kniha napsaná z perspektivy americké emigrantky, která se usazuje v České republice několik let po pádu komunismu. Autorka sleduje proměnu Čechů a jejich nově vzniklé republiky v uplynulých dvou dekádách a zachycuje jedinečné období vývoje tohoto skromného středoevropského státu. Jessica Kendall Hankiewicz napsala eseje, které se dotýkají dějin, politiky, ale rovněž osobních vzpomínek. Kniha s adekvátní kapkou humoru zkoumá nepostižitelné vlastnosti, ze kterých sestává národ a zároveň národnost, a přináší ostrý obraz české kultury i každodennosti. Širokou paletou témat, od výhod sociální demokracie až po českou zálibu v pobytu v přírodě, nejenže knížka Czech Lessons zpřítomňuje tuto malou zemi světovým čtenářům, ale také nabízí zrcadlo samotným Čechům. Kolem jsem viděla pozůstatky komplikované minulosti, plně nerozvinuté technologie, Čechy, kteří chtě nechtě hleděli na cizince s údivem ve tváři, a připadalo mi, že kráčím zpět do minulosti, přestože se tato země ambiciózně řítí vpřed. Otevírala se přede mnou vzácná příležitost navázat vztah s někdejším Československem, které pomalu hledalo svoji povahu a svoji budoucnost.

Nancy Mitford s Love in a Cold Climate and Other Novels casts a finely gauged net to capture perfectly the foibles and fancies of the English upper class, and includes an introduction by Philip Hensher in Penguin Modern Classics.Nancy Mitford s brilliantly witty, irreverent stories of the upper classes in pre-war London and Paris conjure up a world of glamour, gossip and decadence. In The Pursuit of Love, Love in a Cold Climate and The Blessing, her extraordinary heroines deal with armies of hilariously eccentric relatives, the excitement of love and passion, and the thrills of the social Season. But beneath the glittering surfaces and perfectly timed comic dialogue, Nancy Mitford s novels are also touching hymns to a lost era and to the brevity of life and love from one of the most individual, beguiling and creative users of the language.Nancy Mitford (1904-1973) was born in London. A member of one of the aristocracy s more eccentric families, and educated at home with a clutch of siblings, Mitford used childhood experience, lightly fictionalised, in her comic novels, including The Pursuit of Love (1945). She also wrote biographies, translated from the French and edited a celebrated symposium on English Aristocrats.If you enjoyed Love in a Cold Climate and Other Novels, you might like Evelyn Waugh s Brideshead Revisited, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

Wigs on the Green by Nancy Mitford is a hilarious satire of the upper classes. Eugenia Malmains is one of the richest girls in England and an ardent supporter of Captain Jack and the Union Jackshirts; Noel and Jasper are both in search of an heiress (so much easier than trying to work for the money); Poppy and Marjorie are nursing lovelorn hearts; and the beautiful bourgeois Mrs Lace is on the prowl for someone near Eugenia s fabulous country home at Chalford, and much farce ensues.One of Nancy Mitford s earliest novels, Wigs on the Green has been out of print for nearly seventy-five years. Nancy s sisters Unity and Diana were furious with her for making fun of Diana s husband, Oswald Moseley, and his politics, and the book caused a rift between them all that endured for years. Nancy Mitford skewers her family and their beliefs with her customary jewelled barbs, but there is froth, comedy and heart here too. Deliciously funny Evelyn Waugh

Václav Hons (*1938) vydal více než třicet básnických knih. Jeho knižní debut vyšel v roce 1962 (Co je před očima). Vzápětí byl přijat do tehdejšího Svazu československých spisovatelů (spolu s Josefem Hanzlíkem, Ivanem Wernischem, Václavem Havlem, Jiřím Grušou). O dva roky později byl zařazen do proslulého „modrého“ Slovníku českých spisovatelů od Kosmy až po výše zmíněnou nejmladší literární vlnu. Hons vydal na pětatřicet básnických knih (např. Chodec, Černé milosti, Za kloboukem déšť, Zkapalněná křídla, Pohyb pochyb, Nu co, Zádrhel krásných bel, Ústraní neklidu, Mlčiny, Chození po alenkách a další). V nejnovější Honsově sbírce se jeho verše pohybují od milostného vzdechu a lyrické satiry, až po dobře obydlené metafory, které se nebojí zatnout pěst do koktavé reality…

Sbírka Čihadlo vzpomínek představuje v básníkově tvorbě určitý předěl, neboť je to již dvacátá básnická sbírka, vydaná po jeho několikaleté odmlce na přelomu tisíciletí. Současně je to dvacátá sbírka vydaná od roku 2015 v nakladatelství Radix. Básnické tvorbě se věnuje Václav Hons již přes 60 let, jeho první sbírka Co je před očima, zahrnující verše z let 1959–1960, vyšla v roce 1962. Již od konce 50. let však přispíval do různých kulturních a literárních periodik (Literární noviny, Tvář, Plamen, Host do domu aj.). Ve své tvorbě nezapře svůj vztah k češtině a historii, které vystudoval na FF UK, ale i k hudbě – životu a dílu W. A. Mozarta a G. F. Händela jsou věnovány sbírky Malá noční hudba (1976) a Vodní hudba (2015). Kromě básní napsal také několik stovek písňových textů – nejznámější jsou asi jeho Neposlušné tenisky pro Lucii Bílou, ale i další texty pro H. Zagorovou, V. Špinarovou, K. Gotta aj.V posledních sedmi letech vydal Václav Hons v krátkém časovém odstupu dvacet sbírek, převážně lyrického charakteru. Všechny jeho básně se vyznačují užíváním neotřelých obratů a spojení, někdy i novotvarů, nečekanými konotacemi či asociacemi apod. Společným jmenovatelem jsou jeho oblíbená témata – vzpomínky na dětství a mládí, včetně lehkých erotických fabulací, láska k hudbě, pomíjivost lidského života, ale i některé aktuální ohlasy.Dle básníka jsou jeho verše „oscilací mezi životem a smrtí, hodinou mezi psem a vlkem“.

Sbírka Co teď a co potom je již dvacátou čtvrtou básnickou sbírkou Václava Honse (*1938), kterou autor v průběhu několika málo let vydal v nakladatelství Radix. Kromě poémy Vodní hudba (2015), věnované osobnosti Georga Friedricha Händela, vyjadřuje básník ve všech těchto sbírkách lyrickou formou své pocity z uplynulého života, s reminiscencemi na své mládí, s občasnými aktuálními, někdy i politickými konotacemi, s mnoha metaforami, se zřetelným vztahem k umění, zejména k hudbě.Básnické tvorbě se věnuje Václav Hons již přes 60 let, jeho první sbírka Co je před očima, zahrnující verše z let 1959–1960, vyšla v roce 1962.

Nejznámější jsou asi Neposlušné tenisky pro Lucii Bílou. V roce 2018 obdržel za své celoživotní básnické dílo Cenu Unie českých spisovatelů.Básník ke svým veršům a vlastně k celé své tvorbě dodává: „Čas utekl nám v dlouhém snění, za modrého odpoledne je krásné probouzení, čas ubíhal jak hravé hříbě, ale pak strmý čin na cestě chyběl, čas zavřel se jak nedočtený román, v tomto obzoru už nikdy nebudeme doma...“

The Brontës and the Fairy Tale is the first comprehensive study devoted to the role of fairy tales and folklore in the work of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and Branwell Brontë. It intervenes in debates on genre, literary realism, the history of the fairy tale, and the position of women in the Victorian period. Building on recent scholarship emphasizing the dynamic relationship between the fairy tale and other genres in the nineteenth century, the book resituates the Brontës’ engagement with fairy tales in the context of twenty-first-century assumptions that the stories primarily evoke childhood and happy endings. Jessica Campbell argues instead that fairy tales and folklore function across the Brontës’ works as plot and character models, commentaries on gender, and signifiers of national identity.Scholars have long characterized the fairy tale as a form with tremendous power to influence cultures and individuals. The late twentieth century saw important critical work revealing the sinister aspects of that power, particularly its negative effects on female readers. But such an approach can inadvertently reduce the history of the fairy tale to a linear development from the “traditional” tale (pure, straight, patriarchal, and didactic) to the “postmodern” tale (playful, sophisticated, feminist, and radical). Campbell joins other contemporary scholars in arguing that the fairy tale has always been a remarkably elastic form, allowing writers and storytellers of all types to reshape it according to their purposes.The Brontës are most famous today for Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, haunting novels that clearly repurpose fairy tales and folklore. Campbell’s book, however, reveals similar repurposing throughout the entire Brontë oeuvre. The Brontës and the Fairy Tale is recursive: in demonstrating the ubiquity and multiplicity of uses of fairy tales in the works of the Brontës, Campbell enhances not only our understanding of the Brontës’ works but also the status of fairy tales in the Victorian period.

An epic new history of Ancient China told through the prism of a dozen extraordinary tombsThe three millennia up to the establishment of the first imperial Qin dynasty in 221 BC cemented many of the distinctive elements of Chinese civilisation still in place today: an extraordinarily challenging geography and environment, formidable infrastructure, a society based on the strict hierarchy of the family, a shared written script of characters, a cuisine founded on rice and millet, a material culture of ceramics, bronze, silk and jade, and a unique concept of the universe, in which ancestors continue to exist alongside the living. Records of these early achievements, and their diverse and unexpected expressions, often lie not in written history, but in how people marked the end of their lives: their dwellings for the afterlife. Tombs, and the treasures within them, are almost the only artefacts to survive from Ancient China; their scale and sophistication rivals their equivalents in Ancient Egypt.Jessica Rawson, one of the most eminent Western scholars of China, explores twelve grand tombs - each from a specific historical moment and place - showing how they reveal wider political, dynastic and cultural developments, culminating in the lavish ambition of the First Emperor s monument, guarded by his army of terracotta warriors. Beautifully illustrated and drawing on the latest archaeological discoveries, Life and Afterlife in Ancient China illuminates a constellation of beliefs about life and death very different from our own and provides a remarkable new perspective on one of the oldest civilisations in the world.

Z postav úžasné řecké historie má autor asi nejraději Sókrata, který zanechal jen útržky ze svého filozofického přemítání, ze své etické stability, po kapsách svých věrných žáků, ale přesto to stačilo na nesmrtelnost. V poemě je i přemýšlení o tom, komu my dlužíme onoho kohouta a kdo je náš věřitel Asklépios... a kde je ta skříň s kostlivcem našeho života. Báseň vznikala několik let a několik nocí, onen kohout třikrát zakokrhal a básník se snažil sám sebe nezradit… NU CO…

Básnická sbírka SLAVÍK VE ZBYTKU NOCI je jubilejní, desátou knihou Václava Honse po jeho víceletém básnickém odmlčení (předchozí sbírky NU CO, LEDA ŽE, TAK JO, VYŽENEŠ DVEŘMI STĚHOVAVÉHO PTÁKA, VRÁTÍ SE OKNEM OKŘÍDLENÝ ŠAKAL, HODINOVÁ VĚŽ, ASKLÉPIOVI DEJTE KOHOUTA, KÁPNI BOŽSKOU a básnická poema VODNÍ HUDBA, věnovaná osobnosti Georga Friedricha Händela, vyšly v nakladatelství Radix v letech 2015 až 2018). V této nejnovější sbírce básník usilovně hledá nový výraz, novou strukturu veršů… ví dobře, že někde je (ale kde) nádherná báseň a hledá ho… mohou se ještě minout, zemětřesení se dotkne jen básníkova srdce a téměř nikdo jiný to nepozná. To hledání je jeho radost i úzkost, úzkost plná tmy a rozednívání… Je to jeho desátá kniha, je to jeho desatero… Věřme, že básník už našel klíč a nezapomene… Držme mu palce… ale i malíčky…

Kůly skulin jsou již čtrnáctou básnickou sbírkou Václava Honse (*1938), kterou vydal po patnáctileté tvůrčí pauze v nakladatelství Radix. Podobně jako v předchozích sbírkách se autor snaží vyjádřit svůj postoj k protikladům i kontrastům doby, současně však jeho básně rezonují vzpomínkami na dětství, mládí či zralá léta jeho života. To platí i o básních s milostným či až erotickým nádechem, v nichž často používá nezvyklá či neotřelá slova a slovní spojení, občas i některé novotvary. Výjimkou nejsou ani básně s odkazy na historický kontext či na oblast hudby, která je autorovi bytostně blízká. Básník obdržel v roce 2018 Cenu Unie českých spisovatelů za celoživotní básnické úsilí.
