To Catch a Spy - Tim Tate
The Spycatcher affair remains one of the most intriguing moments in the history of British intelligence and a pivotal point in the public s relationship with the murky world of espionage and security. It lifted the lid on alleged Soviet infiltration of British institutions and revealed a culture of law-breaking, bugging and burgling. But how much do we know about the story behind the scandal?In To Catch a Spy, Tim Tate reveals the astonishing true story of the British government s attempts to silence whistleblower Peter Wright and hide the truth about Britain s intelligence services and political elites. It s a story of state-sanctioned cover-up plots; of the government lying to Parliament and courts around the world; and of stories leaked with the intention to mislead and deceive. This is a tale of high treason and low farce. Drawing on thousands of pages of previously unpublished court transcripts, the contents of secret British government files, and original interviews with many of the key players in the Spycatcher trials, it draws back the curtain on a hidden world. A world where spies, politicians and Britain s most senior civil servants conspired to ride roughshod over the law, prevented the public from hearing about their actions and mounted a cynical conspiracy to deceive the world. It is the story of Peter Wright s ruthless and often lawless obsession to uncover Russian spies, both real and imagined, his belated determination to reveal the truth and the lengths to which the British government would go to silence him.

How to Raise an Antiracist - Ibram X. Kendi
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The book that every parent, caregiver, and teacher needs to raise the next generation of antiracist thinkers, from the author of How to Be an Antiracist and recipient of the MacArthur “Genius” Grant. “Kendi’s latest . . . combines his personal experience as a parent with his scholarly expertise in showing how racism affects every step of a child’s life. . . . Like all his books, this one is accessible to everyone regardless of race or class.”—Los Angeles Times (Book Club Pick)ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugarThe tragedies and reckonings around racism that are rocking the country have created a specific crisis for parents, educators, and other caregivers: How do we talk to our children about racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist? How are kids at different ages experiencing race? How are racist structures impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our mistakes, to be better, to make the world better? These are the questions Ibram X. Kendi found himself avoiding as he anticipated the birth of his first child. Like most parents or parents-to-be, he felt the reflex to not talk to his child about racism, which he feared would stain her innocence and steal away her joy. But research and experience changed his mind, and he realized that raising his child to be antiracist would actually protect his child, and preserve her innocence and joy. He realized that teaching students about the reality of racism and the myth of race provides a protective education in our diverse and unequal world. He realized that building antiracist societies safeguards all children from the harms of racism. Following the accessible genre of his internationally bestselling How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi combines a century of scientific research with a vulnerable and compelling personal narrative of his own journey as a parent and as a child in school. The chapters follow the stages of child development from pregnancy to toddler to schoolkid to teenager. It is never too early or late to start raising young people to be antiracist.

Rozpůlený dům - Alice Horáčková
Román o svobodomyslných ženách a pytlácích, kšeftmanech s textilem a spiritistech se odehrává v sudetské vesnici první poloviny 20. století. Češi a Němci tu žijí ve smíšených manželstvích, ale taky se handrkují o to, k jaké národnosti se kdo přihlásí při sčítání lidu, kdo dřív vystaví novou školu a kdo komu zamordoval psa jménem Masaryk. Je to příběh o tajných láskách, útěcích, křivdách, změnách jmen i příjmení a žabomyších válkách, které nakonec stály životy. Autorka splétá velký famílienromán z rodinných příběhů, vzpomínek i archivních záznamů, střídá mužské a ženské hlasy a fantazii s citacemi. K románu ji inspirovala vlastní rozpůlená rodina: po roce 1945 byla část jejích příbuzných odsunuta a část zůstala. Jeden z jejích předků se dokonce stal arizátorem židovské fabriky a přítelem Reinharda Heydricha. Román Rozpůlený dům Alice Horáčkové se čte jedním dechem jako napínavá kronika. V Krkonoších se mluvilo česky i německy, osudy rodin se zde potkávaly, prolínaly a protínaly. A to vše je z této mimořádné knihy cítit. Název může evokovat něco rozbitého, ztraceného. Je tomu ale přesně naopak. Díky této mimořádné knize srůstá rozbitá minulost dohromady a vzniká její plastický a celistvý obraz. Jaroslav Rudiš Nenápadný, ale velký a - v kontextu české literatury rozhodně - výjimečný příběh vypráví Alice Horáčková v novém obsáhlém románu Rozpůlený dům. -Irena Hejdová, vedoucí kulturní rubriky Deníku N Vesnický román Rozpůlený dům líčí osudy rodiny a na ně nabalené příběhy sousedů a obyvatel Krkonoš tak filmově, že mě jako první otázka na autorku po vydání knihy napadlo: Už někdo koupil práva na film? Alice Horáčková píše nesmírně čtivě. Nebojí se sexuálních scén, byť ty jsou zpočátku trochu rozpačité tak, jak její hrdinky hledají, jaké to je, mít ženské tělo a cítit touhu. Přes trapné závojíčky se tak dostáváme k suverénním popisům vztahů bez náznaků, když zazní úlevné a přímé: Nechtěl byste si se mnou zašpásovat? -Klára Kubíčková, Vlasta Rozpůlený dům je (...), a to v první řadě, naprosto strhujícím čtením, velkým rodinným románem. Kdybyste si měli přečíst jedinou novou českou knihu, nechť je to právě Rozpůlený dům Alice Horáčkové. -Vogue Autorka s erudicí literární kritičky prostudovala řadu archivů, v Semilech například objevila beneckou kroniku a v Zámrsku autentická udání starosty Gottsteina. Mluvila s desítkami pamětníků, především ze své rodiny Horáčků Hollmannů, která byla odsunem rozpůlena . To všechno jí pomohlo vytvořit umělecky pravdivou románovou kroniku krásného, i kdyžpro život tvrdého kraje. Román je plný neobyčejně lidských scén i životních paradoxů, kdy se člověk stává bezděky obětí omylů či zfanatizovaného davu. Autorka vypráví svůj mozaikovitý příběh s filmovou dynamikou a udržuje čtenáře v napětí až do konce. Román Rozpůlený dům se čte se zatajeným dechem - tahle literární kronika vyznívá překvapivě současně. František Cinger, Právo Vydání knihy podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury České republiky.

The Penguin English Library Edition of Alice s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll Curiouser and curiouser! cried Alice (she was so surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English). Now I m opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Goodbye, feet! I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole ... without the least idea what was to happen afterwards, wrote Lewis Carroll, describing how Alice was conjured up one golden afternoon in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. His dream worlds of nonsensical Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking Glass kingdom depict order turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig, time is abandoned at a disorderly tea-party and a chaotic game of chess makes a seven-year-old girl a Queen. But amongst the anarchic humour and sparkling word play, puzzles and riddles, are poignant moments of nostalgia for lost childhood.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
