Audiokniha: Nahlédněte do kouzelného a nezapomenutelného světa Jamese Herriota, nejoblíbenějšího veterináře na světě, a jeho zvěřince vtipných, hřejivých, ale někdy i smutných příběhů zvířecích pacientů. Už přes čtyřicet let se mohou celé generace čtenářů ponořit do Herriotových úžasných příběhů plných lásky k životu a skvělého vyprávění. Jako veterinář Herriot projížděl odlehlými kouty anglického Yorkshiru, léčil malé i velké pacienty a prožíval různá dobrodružství. V audioknize To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo potkáváme mladého Herriota, který zjišťuje, že realita povolání veterináře v rurálním Yorkshiru je úplně jiná než sterilní prostředí veterinární školy. Vesnická idyla pro veterináře totiž není tak úplně idyla. Některé návštěvy pacientů jsou srdcervoucí, jako třeba péče o velmi nemocného, starého psa, jehož pán už nikoho jiného na světě nemá, ale jiné zase legrační, jako Herriotovy pravidelné návštěvy překrmeného pekingského palácového psíka, který má vlastní večírky. Herriot se jako čerstvý absolvent musí naučit pečovat o své pacienty uprostřed zimy na těch nejodlehlejších farmách, jednat s tvrdohlavými majiteli, zmatenými kolegy a starat se o kriticky nemocná zvířata a postupně objevuje úžasnou rozmanitost a nikdy nekončící výzvy veterinární praxe se sobě vlastním humorem, soucitem a láskou ke zvířatům. Výborně napsané příběhy, ke kterým se budete rádi vracet i po letech. Tato audiokniha je vydáním prvních dvou dílů oblíbené veterinářské série – Kéž by uměli mluvit a To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo. Autor: James Herriot, vlastním jménem James Alfred Wight, byl britský spisovatel a veterinář. Po ukončení studia veterinární školy v Glasgow se v roce 1940 odstěhoval do Yorkshiru, kde vykonával veterinářskou praxi – léčil hospodářská zvířata, ale i menší zvířata, jako psy a kočky. Za druhé světové války Herriot sloužil v Britském královském letectvu. Proslavil se hlavně svými veterinárními příběhy inspirovanými jeho skutečným životem. Interpret: Ondřej Novák, rodák z Hradce Králové sbíral divadelní zkušenosti od šesti let v dramatickém kroužku, později v Divadélku Jesličky nebo Klicperově divadle, které úspěšně zúročil při přijímacích zkouškách na Divadelní fakultu JAMU. Po absolutoriu činoherního herectví se stal členem činohry Národního divadla Brno, kde strávil více než 13 sezón. Na jevišti brněnského Mahenova divadla se objevoval například v rolích Kalafuny, Figara, Danceny nebo Ježibaby v Perníkové chaloupce. Kromě divadla se věnoval i dabingu, natáčení reklamních rozhlasových i TV spotů a moderování odpolední show v rádiu Kisshády, kde byl i několik let programovým ředitelem nebo kreativním manažerem. Dnes je Ondřej Novák hercem a moderátorem na volné noze, hlasem pořadu Autosalon, namlouvá a vymýšlí reklamy do rádií, televize a na internet.

Audiokniha: Četba z jedné z mnoha knih populárního britského spisovatele. James Herriot vlastním jménem James Alfred Wight, přáteli zvaný Alf, byl populární britský veterinář a spisovatel, autor mnoha knih ze života zvěrolékaře. Narodil se v roce 1916 v anglickém Sunderlandu, v době, kdy už rodina bydlela ve skotském Glasgow. Ve Skotsku v 23 letech ukončil veterinární školu a krátce poté se odstěhoval do Yorkshiru, kde pak po celý život vykonával v městě Thirlby zvěrolékařskou praxi a kde je dnes v jeho původní ordinaci muzeum Svět Jamese Herriota. V roce 1941 se oženil s Joan Catherine Anderson Danburyovou, postupně se jim narodily dvě děti, James Alexandr (1942), který později přebral otcovu veterinární praxi, a dcera Rosemary (1947), která se stala lékařkou. James Herriot napsal sérii knih, ve kterých zvěčnil mnoho komických příhod ze své veterinární praxe. Prvotina mu vyšla až v 50 letech. Pod pseudonymem (James Herriot byl skotský fotbalový brankář) psal kvůli zákonu, který zakazoval veterinářům podobnou reklamu. Jeho knihy byly velice populární nejen ve Velké Británii a USA, ale byly přeloženy do mnoha jazyků a dočkaly se i filmového zpracování a devadesátidílného seriálu, v němž hrál Herriota Christopher Timothy. Jeho knihy byly přeloženy i do češtiny, mezi nejznámější patří To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo, Zvěrolékař a psí historky, Zvěrolékař a kočičí historky, Zvěrolékař na blatech nebo Veterinář v chomoutu. V několika knihách, např. Zvěrolékař mezi nebem a zemí, se Herriot vrátil i ke své válečné službě u Britského královského letectva v roce 1942. James Herriot zemřel na rakovinu v roce 1995, v 78 letech, ve svém domě v Thirlby. Od roku 2009 jezdí ze Sunderlandu do Londýna vlak, který nese jeho jméno.

Audiokniha: Nahlédněte podruhé do kouzelného a nezapomenutelného světa Jamese Herriota, nejoblíbenějšího veterináře na světě. Po téměř 30 letech vyšla nová kniha a nyní i audiokniha Když se zvěrolékař ožení, která volně navazuje na Herriotův první svazek To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo (též dostupné jako audiokniha). Mladý veterinář Herriot se konečně oženil s milovanou Helenou, ale jinak se v jeho životě moc nezměnilo. Stále pracuje v ordinaci Skeldale House v městečku Darrowby, cestuje mezi odlehlými farmami na svazích kopců a malebnými vesničkami v proměnlivém podnebí Yorkshire Dales a stará se o jejich čtyřnohé - a někdy i dvounohé - obyvatele, bojuje s rozmary a tvrdohlavostí svých chlupatých pacientů a s nedobytnými peněženkami jejich rázovitých majitelů. A stále zůstává v úžasu nad rozmanitostí a nikdy nekončícími výzvami venkovské veterinární praxe. Společnost mu dělají mírně chaotický kolega Siegfried, jeho lehkomyslný bratr, věčný student Tristan a přísná hospodyně paní Hallová, které posluchači už dobře znají. Herriotův hluboký soucit, poctivost, humor a láska k životu, lidskému i zvířecímu, z jeho knih vyzařují od první do poslední stránky. Na motivy jeho děl vznikl britský seriál Všechny velké a malé bytosti, který se zatím dočkal čtyř sérií a zhlédnout jste jej mohli i v České televizi. Herriotových knih se na světě prodalo přes osmdesát milionů výtisků. Autor: James Herriot, vlastním jménem James Alfred Wight, byl britský spisovatel a veterinář.

Audiokniha: Jiří Lábus čte příběhy o psech z knihy populárního britského spisovatele a veterináře Když se v roce 1966 objevila na knižních pultech kniha povídek dosud neznámého autora Jamese Herriota, kritika ji označila za nakladatelský zázrak. Povídky, v nichž autor líčil příhody a historky ze své veterinární praxe a zároveň vykresloval svět rázovitých obyvatel Yorkshiru, si podmanily čtenáře svým jemným humorem a životním optimismem. Herriotovi bylo v té době již padesát let a jeho životní zážitky vydaly ještě na další řádku úspěšných knih. O psaní knih snil James Alfred Wight, tak znělo jeho pravé jméno, mnoho let, ale při náročném povolání venkovského veterináře mu nezbýval čas. Do Yorkshiru se přistěhoval záhy po absolvování veterinární školy ve svých třiadvaceti letech, protože tu získal práci ve veterinární ordinaci. Jako každý začátečník i on měl mladické sny o svém budoucím povolání. Herriotovým snem bylo léčení malých zvířat, koček a psů. Narazil však na limity tehdejší veterinární medicíny, která léčení domácích mazlíčků opomíjela a za své pravé poslání považovala péči o velká hospodářská zvířata. Telení krav, ošetřování koňských kopyt a uzdravování skotu, ovcí a vepřů si mladý zvěrolékař užil více než dost. Postupně však získával i první psí a kočičí pacienty. Psi se stávali častými hrdiny jeho příběhů, které čtenářsky patřily k těm nejúspěšnějším. Protože byly rozptýleny v několika knihách, sebral je Herriot později do jednoho souboru. Na toto CD jsme vybrali příběhy o psech, jež patřily k Herriotově nejoblíbenějším. Ať už se zaposloucháte do příhod rozmazleného pekinéze Tricki Woo, veselého psího klauna Brandyho nebo tuláka Jakea, zjistíte, že pouto mezi zvířetem a „jeho“ člověkem patří k malým zázrakům, jež náš život naplňují láskou a oddaností.

Nyní, téměř po 30 letech, vychází v novém vydání kniha Když se zvěrolékař ožení, která navazuje na Herriotovu první knihu To by se zvěrolékaři stát nemělo. Na jejích stránkách znovu zavítáme do malebné krajiny Yorkshire Dales - na odlehlé farmy na svazích kopců a do městeček, kam Herriot, nyní čerstvě ženatý, stále jezdí, aby se postaral o jejich dvounohé i čtyřnohé obyvatele. A to i v době, kdy nad světem visí hrozba v podobě druhé světové války. Herriotův hluboký soucit, humor a láska k životu z knihy vyzařují po celou dobu četby. Budete se nahlas smát i plakat, ale popisy jeho rozmanitých zvířecích pacientů a jejich stejně rozmanitých majitelů vás hlavně pohladí po duši.

From the internationally bestselling author of The Radium Girls comes a dark but ultimately uplifting tale of a woman whose incredible journey still resonates today. Elizabeth Packard was an ordinary Victorian housewife and mother of six. That was, until the first Woman’s Rights Convention was held in 1848, inspiring Elizabeth and many other women to dream of greater freedoms. She began voicing her opinions on politics and religion — opinions that her husband did not share. Incensed and deeply threatened by her growing independence, he had her declared ‘slightly insane’ and committed to an asylum. Inside the Illinois State Hospital, Elizabeth found many other perfectly lucid women who, like her, had been betrayed by their husbands and incarcerated for daring to have a voice. But just because you are sane, doesn’t mean that you can escape a madhouse …Fighting the stigma of her gender and her supposed madness, Elizabeth embarked on a ceaseless quest for justice. It not only challenged the medical science of the day and saved untold others from suffering her fate, it ultimately led to a giant leap forward in human rights the world over.

A relatively young woman, aged thirty. She married in her early twenties, had two children. It is winter. January and minus 14°C, white, frosty mist around the parked car, around the spruces, the mailbox on its post, but higher up the sky is blue, clear, the sun has come back. She has written in her diary that she is waiting for the heartbreak that will turn her into her true self. She has an impending sense of doom or possibly her own death.Can passion be mistaken for love? When Ida meets Arnold, also married, at a conference, she impulsively invites him to share her bed. She returns home, already half-obsessed, and the dissolution of her marriage and break-up of her family pass almost without her noticing. Arnold has a more relaxed attitude toward the affair. But neither his coolness nor the alarming talk she hears about him can dampen her desire. When she finally has Arnold for herself, all the surface niceties and indulgences they enjoy – travel, sex, beers for breakfast and cocktails for dinner – can’t sustain the sweetness of the fantasy. Their mounting jealousies and insecurities metastasize, resulting in violence and addiction.In urgent prose, with layers of candid and vivid detail, Hjorth shows just how devastating love can be when it binds the wrong people.
