From the bestselling, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys, a novel that is "funny and wise and sumptuously written" (Jonathan Franzen, The New York Times Book Review).Colson Whitehead’s triumphant novel is on one level a multifaceted retelling of the story of John Henry, the black steel-driver who died outracing a machine designed to replace him. On another level it’s the story of a disaffected, middle-aged black journalist on a mission to set a record for junketeering who attends the annual John Henry Days festival. It is also a high-velocity thrill ride through the tunnel where American legend gives way to American pop culture, replete with p. r. flacks, stamp collectors, blues men , and turn-of-the-century song pluggers. John Henry Days is an acrobatic, intellectually dazzling, and laugh-out-loud funny book that will be read and talked about for years to come.Look for Colson Whitehead’s new novel, Crook Manifesto, coming soon!

In a dazzlingly original work of non-fiction, the Pulitzer-Prize winning author of The Underground Railroad recreates the exuberance, the chaos, the promise, and the heartbreak of New York. Here is a literary love song that will entrance anyone who has lived in - or spent time - in the greatest of American cities.A masterful evocation of the city that never sleeps, The Colossus of New York captures the city''s inner and outer landscapes in a series of vignettes, meditations, and personal memories. Colson Whitehead conveys with almost uncanny immediacy the feelings and thoughts of longtime residents and of newcomers who dream of making it their home; of those who have conquered its challenges; and of those who struggle against its cruelties. Whitehead''s style is as multilayered and multifarious as New York itself: Switching from third person, to first person, to second person, he weaves individual voices into a jazzy musical composition that perfectly reflects the way we experience the city. There is a funny, knowing riff on what it feels like to arrive in New York for the first time; a lyrical meditation on how the city is transformed by an unexpected rain shower; and a wry look at the ...

Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. All the slaves lead a hellish existence, but Cora has it worse than most; she is an outcast even among her fellow Africans and she is approaching womanhood, where it is clear even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a slave recently arrived from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they take the perilous decision to escape to the North.In Whitehead's razor-sharp imagining of the antebellum South, the Underground Railroad has assumed a physical form: a dilapidated box car pulled along subterranean tracks by a steam locomotive, picking up fugitives wherever it can. Cora and Caesar's first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But its placid surface masks an infernal scheme designed for its unknowing black inhabitants. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher sent to find Cora, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom.At each stop on her journey, Cora encounters a different world. As Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors for black people in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Pravdivý příběh z Afriky o dvojici krvelačných lvů, kteří v roce 1898 zabili mnoho dělníků při stavbě železnice. V době, kdy se Afrika stala bojištěm evropských mocností a kolonizace dosahovala svého vrcholu, se Británie pustila do vybudování železničního spojení mezi východním pobřežím a Viktoriiným jezerem. Avšak co mělo být triumfem technického pokroku, se rychle proměnilo v noční můru. Dva lidožraví lvi začali nekompromisně lovit dělníky pracující na stavbě mostu přes řeku Tsavo, během devíti měsíců rozpoutali krvavé peklo a celý stavební projekt zastavili. Inženýr John Patterson byl jediný, kdo se krutým šelmám dokázal postavit čelem a svá dobrodružství později barvitě vylíčil v této knize. Jeho strhující vyprávění o odvaze, vytrvalosti a nezlomnosti lidského ducha v konfrontaci s nepředstavitelnou výzvou se i více než po sto letech stále těší nesmírné popularitě, čehož je dokladem i řada filmových adaptací včetně slavného snímku "Lovci lvů" s Michaelem Douglasem a Valem Kilmerem v hlavních rolích.

With a load of family debts on his broad back, he ekes out a miserable miner’s life in Lump Town, a bleak hamlet controlled by famed industrialist El Boffo.

John Henry Newman, one of the towering figures of the early Victorian Church of England, caused shock and outrage in equal measure when he announced his espousal of Roman Catholicism in 1845. His Apologia, written nearly twenty years later in response to a scurrilous public attack by Charles Kingsley, is a superbly crafted response to those who criticized his actions and questioned his motives, and traces his spiritual development since boyhood, his close involvement in the high church Tractarian Movement and his agonizing decision to reject the church he had been born into. Ostensibly an autobiography and a speech for the defence, the Apologia transcends self-justification to explore the very nature of Christianity and its place in the modern age.

Americký prozaik Henry S. Whitehead (1882 - 1932) dokázal spojiť nespútanú imagináciu s etnograficky precíznou znalosťou domorodého folklóru v Západnej Indii. Počas dlhoročného pobytu na Panenských ostrovoch sa tento pastor episkopálnej cirkvi dôverne oboznámil s praktikami vúdú a bol svedkom mnohých rituálov čiernej mágie. Vďaka svojmu neortodoxnému prístupu k poverami nasiaknutému všednému životu domorodého obyvateľstva a otvorenej mysli bol schopný zachytiť zanikajúci svet šamanizmu a mrazivo podrobne ho opísať.Henry S. Whitehead sa narodil v Elizabeth, v štáte New Jersey a s výnimkou kreatívne neuveriteľne stimulujúceho misionárskeho obdobia stráveného v Karibiku prežil väčšinu svojho života v Novom Anglicku. Jeho mrazivo hrôzostrašné príbehy sa začali objavovať v americkom pulp-fiction časopise Weird Tales a v mnohých podobných publikáciách od roku 1924. Avšak jeho prvotina Williamson, napísaná roku 1910, bola publikovaná až roku 1946 v posmrtne vydanej zbierke West India Lights, vďaka ktorej sa konečne zaradil medzi uznávaných velikánov žánru. Už táto pozoruhodná poviedka s ohromujúcim vyvrcholením obsahuje prvky, ktoré neskôr účinne využil vo všetkých svojich príbehoch: Napätie, tajomstvo, chladne nezúčastnený popis udalostí a pocit neodvratne postupujúcej hrôzy.Medzi veľkých obdivovateľov jeho tvorby patril aj slávny majster hororu H.

The first book-length study of John Frémont’s time in Missouri written since the Civil War, revealing the story of the first enslaved person ever set free by military order of the United States and exploring six campaigns in the Trans-Mississippi theater. For one hundred days in 1861, John Frémont was the general in charge of the United States Army’s Western Department, an enormous territory that included the state of Illinois and all the states—and prospective states—that lay west of Illinois to the Rockies. Frémont arrived at his St. Louis headquarters in late July, setting into motion three tumultuous months that would see him declare martial law, emancipate two enslaved men, and give rise to one of the Civil War’s most respected figures, Ulysses S. Grant. At the heart of Gregory Wolk’s John Frémont’s 100 Days: Clashes and Convictions in Civil War Missouri are the military campaigns and battles that took place in the state while Frémont was in command, including at Wilson’s Creek, as well as the campaigns that resulted in the battles of Lexington and Fredericktown. The book culminates in the stunning cavalry charge made by Major Charles Zagonyi in Springfield in October 1861, an ultimately tragic and unnecessary ... Unknown localization key: "more"

What Thoreau can teach us about working—why we do it, what it does to us, and how we can make it more meaningfulHenry at Work invites readers to rethink how we work today by exploring an aspect of Henry David Thoreau that has often been overlooked: Thoreau the worker. John Kaag and Jonathan van Belle overturn the popular misconception of Thoreau as a navel-gazing recluse who was scornful of work and other mundanities. In fact, Thoreau worked hard—surveying land, running his family’s pencil-making business, writing, lecturing, and building his cabin at Walden Pond—and thought intensely about work in its many dimensions. And his ideas about work have much to teach us in an age of remote work and automation, when many people are reconsidering what kind of working lives they want to have. Through Thoreau, readers will discover a philosophy of work in the office, factory, lumber mill, and grocery store, and reflect on the rhythms of the workday, the joys and risks of resigning oneself to work, the dubious promises of labor-saving technology, and that most vital and eternal of philosophical questions, “How much do I get paid?” In ten chapters, including “Manual Work,” “Machine Work,” and “Meaningless Work,” ...

It is also an exploration of some of the preeminent thinkers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, such as Descartes, Newton, Locke, and Kant.

Čas chodenia však tiež môže priniesť do života dospievajúceho človeka veľa dobrých vecí – okrem iného mu môže pomôcť pri jeho osobnom vývoji a dozrievaní.Cieľom tejto knihy je pomôcť vám odhaliť tajomstvo úspešného chodenia a vyhnúť sa tak možným nástrahám vo vzťahoch. Dr. Henry Cloud a Dr. John Townsend sú klinickí psychológovia, konzultanti, prednášatelia a autori mnohých populárnych kníh. Okrem spolupráce v psychologickom centre na klinike Minirth-Meier v Newport Beach v Kalifornii založili spolu poradenské centrum Cloud-Townsend Clinic and Resources. V slovenčine im vyšli knihy Hranice, Hranice v manželstve, Hranice a deti.

How do comics produce such a striking range of vibrant stories, representations, and expressions of the sensibilities of their creators? Henry John Pratt''s The Philosophy of Comics provides a ground-breaking, illustrated introduction to the study of comics and graphic novels, advancing the field of comics studies by attending to some of its most notable problems. Pratt examines the history of comics, the contrast between comics and cartoons, the tenuous place of comics in the art world, and what it is to be a comic in the first place. Comics work through extensive modes of representation and expression, including through film, non-graphic literature, and theatre. Pratt examines questions such as, why and how are so many films based on comics? Can there be a perfect adaptation from one to the other? Are some comics better than others? Why is reading comics not regarded in the same light as reading literary books? Pratt urges us to look closely at the most significant problems and puzzles that comics provoke, having to do with the very nature of comics, what composes them, how comics are related to other art forms, how they function to manage space and time in storytelling, and why they''ve been ...

The greatest true-crime story in music history.A GLOBAL SUPERSTARIn the summer of 1980, ten years after the break-up of the Beatles, John Lennon signed with a new label, ready to record new music for the first time in years. Everyone was awestruck when Lennon dashed off '(Just Like) Starting Over'. Lennon was back in peak form, with his best songwriting since 'Imagine'.A DANGEROUSLY OBSESSED FANIn the years after Lennon left the Beatles, becoming a solo artist and making a life with Yoko Ono in New York City, Mark David Chapman had become fixated on murdering his former hero. He was convinced that Lennon had squandered his talent and betrayed his fans. In December 1980, Chapman boarded a flight from Hawaii to New York with a handgun stowed in his luggage. He was never going home again.A MURDER THAT STUNNED THE WORLDEnriched by exclusive interviews with Lennon's friends and associates, including Paul McCartney, The Last Days of John Lennon is a true-crime drama about two men who changed history. One whose indelible songs enliven our world to this day, and the other who ended the music with five pulls of a trigger.

Now revised and updated--John Lennox''s acclaimed method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. What did the writer of Genesis mean by "the first day?" Are the seven days in Genesis 1 a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old as cosmologists believe, am I denying the authority of Scripture?With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God''s intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth.With this book, Lennox offers a careful and accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.Since its publication in 2011, this book has enabled many readers to see that the major controversy with which it engages can be resolved without compromising commitment to the authority of Scripture.

We all love a good murder story. Historian and author Annie Whitehead has collated around 100 cases in Anglo-Saxon England, from regicides to robberies gone wrong, and from personal feuds to state-sanctioned slaughter, examining their veracity and asking what, if anything, they can tell us about the motives of those who recorded them and about Anglo-Saxon governance and society.The records contain many stories of murder, some of which include details of witchcraft and poisoning, or of betrayal of the worst kind, leaving us with the impression that this period was one of lawlessness and rebellion. But how many of these tales are true, and how do they square with a period known to have had lengthy, detailed law codes and harsh punishment for unlawful killing? Was the ‘Viking’ practice of killing by blood eagle – with reference to King Aelle of Northumbria, an alleged victim – a myth or real?Annie Whitehead also makes a few accusations herself – invoking the old adage that there is no smoke without fire…
