'Utterly compelling' Guardian Life...is shapeless, it does not point to and gather round anything, it does not cohere. Artistically, it's dead. Life's dead. So begins a love letter to life, a resuscitation of sorts, encountering vibrant characters from Saul Bellow, to Philip Larkin to Iris Murdoch and Elizabeth Jane Howard, and to the person who captivated Amis' twenties, the alluringly amoral Phoebe Phelps. Amis addresses our burning questions: how to live, how to grieve, and how to die?

‘The best thing Martin Amis has done in fiction for years’ Literary Review There were conjugal visits in the slave camps of the USSR. Valiant women would travel continental distances, over weeks and months, in the hope of spending a night, with their particular enemy of the people, in the House of Meetings. The consequences of these liaisons were almost invariably tragic. House of Meetings is about one such liaison. It is a triangular romance: two brothers fall in love with the same girl, a nineteen-year-old Jewess, in Moscow, which is poised for pogrom in the gap between the war and the death of Stalin. Both brothers are arrested, and their rivalry slowly complicates itself over a decade in the slave camp above the Arctic Circle. ‘It is difficult not to be impressed by this compact tour de force’ Observer

A hilarious and, at times, moving and soul-searching account of rugby union’s rollercoaster days in the 1990s, told through the eyes of a player who saw it all as the sport lurched shambolically from the crazy final days of amateurism into the professional era.Martin Bayfield has a story to tell. Indeed, some might describe it as a very tall story. Standing at 6ft 10ins, the former England and British and Irish Lions second row remains one of the tallest players ever to have played international rugby, and his immense physical stature made him one of the most destructive forwards in the world game. He played for England during one of the most successful eras in English rugby, winning two Grand Slams alongside legendary players such as Will Carling, Jeremy Guscott, Brian Moore and Rory Underwood. His international heyday came at a seminal moment for rugby union when, almost overnight, it was transformed from a noble minority sport to a celebrity event, with stories appearing on the front pages of the British tabloids. Now Bayfield is ready to reveal the inside story of that rip-roaring decade that changed forever the face of English rugby. The book provides an emotional link between the generations, so that today’s fans can reconnect with rugby's soul. Renowned as one of rugby's best and most entertaining storytellers, the former policeman and Hagrid's body double has written a brilliant and very funny love letter to a sport that continues to inspire and entertain millions.

In Oath and Honor, she tells the story of this perilous moment in US history, those who helped Trump spread the stolen election lie, those whose actions preserved the constitutional framework, and the risks the US faces and the worldwide implications.

Lucian Freud (1922–2011), widely regarded as the greatest figurative painter of our time, spent seven months painting a portrait of the art critic Martin Gayford. The daily narrative of their encounters takes us into that most private place, the artist’s studio, and to the heart of the working methods of this modern master – both technical and subtly psychological. From this emerges an understanding of what a portrait is, but something else is also built up: a portrait, in words, of Freud himself. Full of wry and revealing observations, this is a book not quite like any other: the inside story of how it feels to pose for a remarkable artist, and be transformed into a work of art.

In 1866 Britain''s foremost explorer, Dr David Livingstone, went in search of the answer to an age-old geographical riddle: where was the source of the Nile? Livingstone set out with a large team, on a course that would lead through unmapped, seemingly impenetrable terrain into areas populated by fearsome man-eating tribes. Within weeks his expedition began to fall apart - his entourage deserted him and Livingstone vanished without trace. He would not be heard from again for two years.While debate raged in England over whether Livingstone could be found in the unmapped wilderness of the African interior, James Gordon Bennet, a brash young American newspaper tycoon, hatched a plan to capitalise on the world''s fascination with the missing legend. He commissioned his star reporter, Henry Morton Stanley (born John Rowlands in Wales!), to search for Livingstone. Stanley undertook his quest with gusto, filing reports that captivated readers and dominated the front page of the New York Herald for months.INTO AFRICA traces the journeys of Livingstone and Stanley in alternating chapters. Livingstone''s is one of trials and set-backs, that finds him alone and miles from civilisation. Stanley''s is an awakening to the beauty of Africa, the grandeur of the landscape and the vivid diversity of its wildlife. It is also a journey that succeeds beyond his wildest dreams, clinching his place in history with the famous enquiry: ''Dr Livingstone, I presume?''. In this, the first book to examine the extraordinary physical challenges, political intrigue and larger-than-life personalities of this legendary story, Martin Dugard has opened a fascinating window on the golden age of exploration that will appeal to everyone''s sense of adventure.

Audiokniha: Aby byl Jim šťastný, musí o své místo na slunci zabojovat… Legendární román zesměšňující snobismus a anglické vysoké školství v polovině padesátých let na postavě Jima Dixtona, lektora historie na univerzitě. Prvotina slavného britského prozaika Kingsleyho Amise se okamžitě po svém uveřejnění v roce 1954 zařadila mezi nejoblíbenější a nejčtenější romány. Jen během prvních čtyř let se dočkala dvaceti vydání. Čtenáře od počátku až do dnešní doby baví neodolatelným vtipem a sžíravou ironií, s nimiž Amis zaznamenal, jak mladý James Dixon přišel o iluze ve zkostnatělém prostředí malé anglické univerzity v provinčním městě. Autor v knize vtipně a ironicky charakterizuje omezený tradicionalismus, pokrytectví a kariérismus, přežívající v určitých vrstvách anglické společnosti počátku padesátých let 20. století na příkladu Jamese (Jima) Dixtona, učitele dějin středověku. Jim se bouří proti konvencím a vysoce postavenými lidmi opovrhuje, ale zároveň s nimi musí vycházet, aby nepřišel o místo, protože nemá smlouvu na neurčito. Nešťastně se zamiluje do přítelkyně syna svého nadřízeného, která jeho city – pro našeho hrdinu nečekaně – částečně opětuje. Jim si plnou vahou odpovědnosti uvědomuje, že aby dosáhl vítězství nejen v pracovní sféře, ale především v osobní, musí vystoupit ze své komfortní zóny a riskovat vše. Odváží se však k takovému kroku? A jakou cenu za to zaplatí? Šťastný Jim získal cenu Sommerseta Maughama určenou autorům do 35 let a byl několikrát zfilmovaný. Poprvé už v roce 1957 bratry Boultingovými a zatím naposledy v roce 2003 Robinem Shepperdem.

Audiokniha: Inspirativní příběh akrobatického pilota Martina Šonky, jenž se v roce 2018 stal mistrem světa respektované letecké série Air Race. Jeho cesta k absolutní světové špičce ale zároveň ukazuje, jak se vyplácí snít, protože i zdánlivě nereálné touhy mohou být – pokud tvrdě pracujete a jdete si za nimi – jednou naplněny. Obyčejný kluk ze Sezimova Ústí, jak o sobě rád říká, se prosadil v odvětví, v němž často rozhodují peníze. Navzdory tomu, že jeho maminka byla samoživitelka, on s bratrem spával v kamrlíku na košťata a Česko není pro velké sponzory atraktivní lokací, z něj vyrostl elitní světový pilot. A z anonymního muže se v tuzemsku stala respektovaná sportovní osobnost. Zpověď otce tří dětí zároveň doplňují rozhovory s jeho nejbližšími i s jeho velkými soupeři.

Od roku 2021 působí na webu Sport.cz a v deníku Právo. Píše především o hokeji – zúčastnil se jako novinář 13 světových šampionátů i olympijských her – a motorsportu. Jeho knižním debutem byl rozhovor s motocyklovým závodníkem Rallye Dakar Lukášem Kvapilem nazvaným Slzy rytíře z Dakaru. Biografie o akrobatickém pilotovi Martinu Šonkovi vznikala dva roky. Žije v Roztokách u Prahy a s manželkou Ivou mají syny Jonáše a Alberta.

Kromě mnoha dalších vavřínů se může pyšnit třemi tituly mistra Evropy a dvěma tituly vicemistra světa ve freestylu, titulem vice-mistra Evropy v klasické akrobacii.
