Dorothy Parker, more than any of her contemporaries, captured the spirit of the Jazz Age in her poetry and prose, and The Collected Dorothy Parker includes an introduction by Brendan Gill in Penguin Modern Classics.Dorothy Parker was the most talked-about woman of her day, notorious as the hard-drinking bad girl with a talent for stinging repartee and endlessly quotable one-liners. The decadent 1920s and 1930s in New York were a time of great experiment and daring for women. For the rich, life seemed a continual party, but the excesses took their emotional toll. In the bitingly witty poems and stories collected here, along with her articles and reviews, she brilliantly captures the spirit of the decadent Jazz Age in New York, exposing both the dazzle and the darkness. But beneath the sharp perceptions and acidic humour, much of her work poignantly expresses the deep vulnerability of a troubled, self-destructive woman who, in the words of philosopher Irwin Edman, was ''a Sappho who could combine a heartbreak with a wisecrack''.Dorothy Parker (1893-1967) was born in West End, New Jersey, and grew up in New York. In 1916 she sold some of her poetry to the editor of Vogue, and was subsequently given an editorial position on the magazine. She then became drama critic of Vanity Fair and the central figure of the celebrated Algonquin Round Table, whose members included George S. Kaufman and Harpo Marx. Her collections of poems included Enough Rope (1926) and Not So Deep as a Well (1936), and her collections of stories included Here Lies (1939); in addition, she collaborated on and wrote screenplays including the Oscar-winning A Star is Born (1937), and Alfred Hitchcock''s Saboteur (1942).If you enjoyed The Collected Dorothy Parker, you might like Truman Capote''s The Complete Stories, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''She managed to express her real feelings in stanzas which snap and glitter like a Chanel handbag''Peter Ackroyd, The Times

The prize-winning biography of Wordsworth''s beloved sister, champion, muse who was at the heart of the Romantic movement in Britain - reissued to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Dorothy''s birth.''Genius ... Its own kind of heaven.'' New York Times ''A most beautiful, deep, and humble study of incredibly complex people.'' Oliver Sacks Dorothy Wordsworth is an enigma. William''s beloved sister was his muse, champion, and most valued reader. She is mythologised as a self-effacing spinster and saintly amanuensis, yet Thomas De Quincey described her as ''all fire and ardour''. Dorothy sacrificed a traditional life to share in her brother''s world of words. In her Grasmere Journals, she vividly recorded their intimate life together in the Lake District, marked by a startling freedom from social convention. The tale that unfolds in her brief, electric entries reveals an intense bond between siblings, culminating in Dorothy''s collapse on William''s wedding day - after which the woman who once strode the hills in all weathers retreated inside the house for the last three decades of her life.In her magisterial biography, Frances Wilson uses the compressed emotion of Dorothy''s journals to evoke the rich interior world of a woman determined to live on her own terms - one who deserves her own place in the history of the Romantic movement. ''Intelligent and intriguing ... A portrait of a peculiar, passionate, yet meticulous woman which is hauntingly strange.'' Sunday Telegraph''Passion is the keynote of Wilson''s fine biography ... Brims with the personality of [an] extraordinary woman ... Thrilling.'' Sunday Times''This beautiful, wise biography draws Dorothy from her hiding places. She emerges as a passionate figure.'' Daily Telegraph''Gripping ... Bold, witty, scholarly and speculative.’ Margaret Drabble

Louisa po čtyřiceti letech manželství čelí šokující pravdě: její muž odchází za ženou mladší než jejich dcera. Zdrcená a zrazená se musí vyrovnat nejen s rozpadem rodiny, ale i s bolestnou realitou, že domov, do kterého vložila tolik lásky, je na prodej. Zatímco Kip objevuje trhliny ve svém vysněném štěstí, Louisa poznává, že právě v okamžiku, kdy ztratíme všechno, můžeme objevit samu sebe. Ideální manžel je román o zlomeném srdci, ale také o odpuštění a o nové naději – o druhých šancích, které přicházejí, když se odvážíme žít dál.

Zůstala sama se dvěma malými syny a hledala způsob, jak znovu najít rovnováhu. Přihlásila se na kurz tvůrčího psaní – a z několika odstavců, které měly být jen terapií, vznikl její první román A Breath of Fresh Air. Kniha se stala okamžitým bestsellerem a změnila její život. Od té doby napsala přes pětadvacet románů přeložených do třinácti jazyků, získala ocenění Romantic Novel of the Year a stala se jednou z nejoblíbenějších britských autorek. Její čtenáři na ní milují, že píše o životě bez pozlátka – o lásce, která bolí, o zradě, která může vést k poznání, a o síle začít znovu, i když se zdá, že už není odkud. Dnes žije na anglickém venkově v hrabství Suffolk, obklopená zahradou, kterou s vášní pěstuje. Když nepíše, tvoří miniaturní domečky pro panenky, sleduje závody Formule 1 a cestuje za svými syny – jeden žije v Japonsku, druhý v USA. Její knihy jsou čtenářsky vděčné právě proto, že vyrůstají z opravdového života. Erica James ví, co znamená ztratit, znovu se postavit a neztratit naději. Proto dokáže psát o ženách, které po pádu znovu nacházejí samu sebe – s něhou, humorem a nadhledem, který přináší jen život sám.

The true story of a foundling. ''Extraordinary ... A fascinating, moving book: part history of the Foundling Hospital and the development of child psychology, part Cowan''s own story, and part that of Cowan''s mother'' LUCY SCHOLES, TELEGRAPH Growing up in a wealthy enclave outside San Francisco, Justine Cowan''s life seems idyllic. But her mother''s unpredictable temper drives Justine from home the moment she is old enough to escape. It is only after her mother dies that she finds herself pulling at the threads of a story half-told - her mother''s upbringing in London''s Foundling Hospital. Haunted by this secret history, Justine travels across the sea and deep into the past to discover the girl her mother once was. Here, with the vividness of a true storyteller, she pieces together her mother''s childhood alongside the history of the Foundling Hospital: from its idealistic beginnings in the eighteenth century, how it influenced some of England''s greatest creative minds - from Handel to Dickens, its shocking approach to childcare and how it survived the Blitz only to close after the Second World War. This was the environment that shaped a young girl then known as Dorothy Soames, who was left behind by a mother forced by stigma and shame to give up her child; who withstood years of physical and emotional abuse, dreaming of escape as German bombers circled the skies, unaware all along that her own mother was fighting to get her back.The Secret Life of Dorothy Soames is a gripping memoir and revelatory investigation into the history of the Foundling Hospital and one girl who grew up in its care - the author''s own mother.Praise for The Secret Life of Dorothy Soames: ''As a social history of the Foundling Hospital, this is a fascinating read'' SUNDAY TIMES ''Page-turning and profoundly moving'' VIRGINIA NICHOLSON ''Part-memoir, part-detective story, The Secret Life Of Dorothy Soames will break your heart then piece it back together again ...

Vánoční koleda je osobním dramatem člověka, které oslovuje další a další generace čtenářů již přes 170 let. Rozsahem nedlouhá "moralita" o pěti kapitolách se dočkala mnoha dramatizací, operního i filmového zpracování. Důvod není jen v silném příběhu či literárních kvalitách. Kromě nich je tu cosi, co se nás bytostně týká, co potřebujeme v životě takřka neustále: naděje. Českých vydání tohoto příběhu je několik, ale je jen jedno, které opravdu můžeme považovat za knižní skvost. Je to totiž jeden ze vzácných případů, kdy kvalitu knihy několikanásobně zvyšuje její estetická úprava. Knihu z nakl. Champagne Avantgarde z roku 1994 ilustroval italský malíř Roberto Innocenti. V New Yorku bylo toto vydání vyhlášeno za nejkrásnější ilustrovanou knihu roku 1991. A není se čemu divit. Velké obrazové kompozice, které dýchají ponurou zimní atmosférou, umocňují náladu celé knihy. Všechno je barevně laděné d o tmav&y acute;ch barev, převážně hnědé. Čtenář by neměl ilustrace opomíjet. Důležité je prohlédnout si opravdu celou kresbu. Innocenti si vyhrál s každým detailem, který nám dokonale přibližuje svět Anglie v první polovině 19. století. Vše je vykresleno v perspektivní harmonii. Zvláštností je jeho pojetí portrétování. Všechny postavičky na malbě mají téměř identické tváře, jakoby ploché s výraznými temnými body v místech očí. Jediná pozitivní ilustrace je vlastně až závěrečná, kde Innocenti použil i jiné než temné barvy. Kvůli Vánoční koledě navštívil Innocenti Londýn. Ne snad proto, že by zde chtěl objevit Dickensův svět, ale aby zhlédl originály výtvarných děl spisovatelových současníků. Inspiroval se a vlastní realistickou malbu k fantasknímu příběhu doplnil četnými detaily prostředí, výraznou expresí i magickým realismem, jimž dotváří sugestivní atmosféru Dickensova vyprávění. Kniha vychází s ilustracemi Roberta Innocentiho (1940), italského mezinárodně uznávaného výtvarníka, který získal četná ocenění včetně Ceny Hanse Christiana Andersena (2008).O značném přesahu jeho díla svědčí i to, že knihy s Innocentiho ilustracemi vydávají nakladatelé v Evropě, Asii, USA i v Japonsku a není tedy divu, že v deníku The New York Times byl představen jako "jeden z největších ilustrátorů dětských knih ve světě".

Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, G.K. Chesterton and nine other writers from the legendary Detection Club collaborate in this fiendishly clever but forgotten crime novel first published 80 years ago. Inspector Rudge does not encounter many cases of murder in the sleepy seaside town of Whynmouth. But when an old sailor lands a rowing boat containing a fresh corpse with a stab wound to the chest, the Inspector's investigation immediately comes up against several obstacles. The vicar, whose boat the body was found in, is clearly withholding information, and the victim's niece has disappeared. There is clearly more to this case than meets the eye - even the identity of the victim is called into doubt. Inspector Rudge begins to wonder just how many people have contributed to this extraordinary crime and whether he will ever unravel it... In 1931, Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and ten other crime writers from the newly-formed `Detection Club' collaborated in publishing a unique crime novel. In a literary game of consequences, each author would write one chapter, leaving G.K. Chesterton to write a typically paradoxical prologue and Anthony Berkeley to tie up all the loose ends. In addition, each of the authors provided their own solution in a sealed envelope, all of which appeared at the end of the book, with Agatha Christie's ingenious conclusion acknowledged at the time to be `enough to make the book worth buying on its own'. The authors of this novel are: G. K. Chesterton, Canon Victor Whitechurch, G. D. H. Cole and Margaret Cole, Henry Wade, Agatha Christie, John Rhode, Milward Kennedy, Dorothy L. Sayers, Ronald Knox, Freeman Wills Crofts, Edgar Jepson, Clemence Dane and Anthony Berkeley.

“Far from growing up in the wealthy, fox-hunting circles she had always suggested, her mother had in fact been raised in a foundling hospital for the children of unwed women.” — Editor’s Choice, The New York Times Book Review“Extraordinary … fascinating, moving.” —The Telegraph“This emotional and transatlantic journey is a page-turner.” — Editor’s Pick, Amazon Book Review“Book groups will find as much to discuss here as they have with The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, and Educated by Tara Westover.” — BookListRecommended by The New York Times, The Saturday Evening Post, Amazon Book Review, The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Publisher’s Weekly, Kirkus and more, Justine Cowan’s remarkable true story of how she uncovered her mother’s upbringing as a foundling at London’s Hospital for the Maintenance and Education of Exposed and Deserted Young Children has received acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. In the U.K., it has been featured in The Mail on Sunday, The Daily Mail, The Daily Mirror and The Spectator. The Telegraph calls it “extraordinary and Glamour magazine chose it as the best new book based on real life. The story begins when Justine found her often volatile mother in an unlit room writing a name over and over again, one that she had never heard before and would not hear again for many years – Dorothy Soames. Thirty years later, overcome with grief following her mother’s death, Justine found herself drawn back to the past, uncovering a mystery that stretched back to the early years of World War II and beyond, into the dark corridors of the Hospital for the Maintenance and Education of Exposed and Deserted Young Children. Established in the eighteenth century to raise “bastard” children to clean chamber pots for England’s ruling class, the institution was tied to some of history’s most influential figures and events. From its role in the development of solitary confinement and human medical experimentation to the creation of the British Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts, its impact on Western culture continues to reverberate. It is the reason we read Dickens’ Oliver Twist and enjoy Handel’s Messiah each Christmas. It was also the environment that shaped a young girl known as Dorothy Soames, who bravely withstood years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of a sadistic headmistress—a resilient child whose only hope would be a daring escape as German bombers rained death from the skies. Heartbreaking, surprising, and unforgettable, The Secret Life of Dorothy Soames is the true story of one woman’s quest to understand the secrets that had poisoned her mother’s mind, and her startling discovery that her family’s fate had been sealed centuries before.

An expansive, illuminating, and “welcome addition to understand” (Shelf Awareness) the legendary writer Dorothy Parker, this unique biography explores her life and legacy in Hollywood—from the author of the “fascinating” (Town & Country) Three Martini Afternoons at the Ritz. The glamorous extravagances and devasting lows of her time in Hollywood are revealed as never before in this “ambitious, thoughtfully researched” (Kirkus Reviews) biography of Dorothy Parker—from leaving New York City to work on numerous classic screenplays such as the 1937 A Star Is Born to the devastation of alcoholism, a miscarriage, and her husband’s suicide. Parker’s involvement with anti-fascist and anti-racist groups, which led to her ultimate blacklisting, and her early work in the civil rights movement that inspired her to leave her entire estate to the NAACP are also explored as never before. “Briskly detailed, fluently insightful, and dramatically reorienting” (Booklist, starred review), Dorothy Parker in Hollywood brings the iconic writer back to life on the page in all her wit, grit, and brilliance.

Svět přijal myšlenku, že pohlaví je něco, o čem může rozhodovat člověk. Stále častěji se setkáváme s kolegy, přáteli a rodinnými příslušníky, kteří se identifikují s jiným pohlavím, než s jakým se narodili. Jak máme s takovými lidmi jednat? Potřebujeme být informováni a vybaveni znalostmi o dané problematice, měli bychom znát význam příslušných pojmů a potřebujeme vědět, co o těchto věcech říká Stvořitel, který svou vůli vyjádřil v Bibli.

When Dorothy Pilley first began climbing in the 1910s, female mountaineers were seen as a dangerous liability, their achievements ignored, unrecorded or disbelieved. Undeterred, Dorothy proved herself on the vertiginous slopes of Wales, Scotland and the Lake District before tackling rock faces in the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Rockies, Mount Fuji and the Himalayas. Her tireless championing of fellow women climbers and her own trailblazing example helped establish female alpinists as serious mountaineers with impressive records on bravery, skill and endurance. First published in 1935, Climbing Days tells a daredevil tale of adventure, near-death slips and rapturous achievement in high places, interleaved with moments highlighting the particular challenges of being a woman in a sport seen as the province of men.

Innocent Bystander follows an ordinary man’s adventures to the edge of the abyss through the lens of risk and consequences. A white-knuckle epic, the book is a true account of facing grave danger with humour, hope and optimism that weaves a spectacular tapestry from the role they play in everyday life and the wider world of cultures we live amidst. A story produced by the offshore oil industry that flows around the globe, Innocent Bystander is seat-of-your-pants thriller that confronts all-manner of catastrophes and events that will live in global infamy [such as Piper Alpha disaster, Vargas tragedy, Al-Khobar massacre] as we journey with Murfy gaining knowledge, building perspective and critical thinking skills on an expedition of the globe and the extremes of the human experience. Adventure, drama, irony, comedy and horror – but most of all humour – Innocent Bystander is a swash-buckling, globetrotting yet thought-provoking and heart-rendering roller-coaster of optimism in the face of calamity that brings life-lessons from the abyss but leaves knowledge, resilience, empathy and a broader appreciation of the world-at-large and the risks in everyday living.
