Judas Goat - Gabrielle Bates

Gabrielle Bates’s electric debut collection Judas Goat plumbs the depths of intimate relationships. The book’s eponymous animal is used to lead sheep to slaughter while its own life is spared, and its harrowing existence echoes through this spellbinding collection of forty poems, which wrestle with betrayal and forced obedience, violence and young womanhood, and the “forbidden felt language” of sexual and sacred love. These poems conjure encounters with figures from scriptures, domesticated animals eyeing the wild, and mothering as a shapeshifting, spectral force; they question what it means to love another person and how to exorcise childhood fears. All the while, the Deep South haunts, and no matter how far away the speaker moves, the South always draws her back home.In confession, in illumination, Bates establishes herself as an unflinching witness to the risks that desire necessitates, as Judas Goat holds readers close and whispers its unforgettable lines.

Baggage - Alan Cumming

"An intimate look at the making of a man, an actor, an advocate—and most importantly—a happy human being. A wonderful book that is funny, honest, fearless, and generous in its vulnerability." —Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie BainA candid and captivating exploration of identity, resilience, and reinvention, Baggage follows Alan Cumming as he navigates the highs and lows of Hollywood, relationships, and personal growth with humor, honesty, and an unflinching commitment to authenticity.There is absolutely no logical reason why I am here. The life trajectory my nationality and class and circumstances portended for me was not even remotely close to the one I now navigate. But logic is a science and living is an art.The release I felt in writing my first memoir, Not My Father’s Son, was matched only by how my speaking out empowered so many to engage with their own trauma. I was reminded of the power of my words and the absolute duty of authenticity.But…No one ever fully recovers from their past. There is no cure for it. You just learn to manage and prioritize it. I believe the second you feel you have triumphed or overcome something – an abuse, an injury to the body or the mind, an addiction, a character flaw, a habit, a person – you have merely decided to stop being vigilant and embraced denial as your modus operandi. And that is what this book is about, and for: to remind you not to buy in to the Hollywood ending.Ironically maybe, much of Baggage chronicles my life in Hollywood and how, since I recovered from a nervous breakdown at 28, work has repeatedly whisked me away from personal calamities to sets and stages around the world. It is also about marriage(s): starting with the break-up of my first (to a woman) and ending with the ascension to my second (to a man) with many kissed toads in between! But in everything, each failed relationship or encounter with a legend (Liza! X Men! Gore Vidal! Kubrick! Spice Girls!), in every bad decision or moment of sensual joy I have endeavored to show what I have learned and how I’ve become who I am today: a happy, flawed, vulnerable, fearless middle-aged man, with a lot of baggage.

Zo stránok nbsp;dona Stevana nbsp;sa vynára naliehavá otázka: Prečo to všetko? Prečo zrada? Ako mohol apoštol, povolaný Kristom a zdieľajúci s ním tri roky svojho života, dospieť do tohto bodu? Je to vôbec možné? Je ťažké odpovedať na tieto otázky. A možno práve to je dôvod, prečo už v prvých storočiach kresťanstva boli vyskúšané mnohé cesty, ako nejakým spôsobom rehabilitovať postavu Judáša, ako zmierniť temnotu, ktorá ho obklopuje, ako ospravedlniť – ak je to vôbec možné – jeho činy a ako vpustiť do tejto udalosti aspoň záblesk svetla. Autor sa snaží dostať do najtajnejších zákutí duše tohto apoštola, jedného z dvanástich, a rekonštruuje jeho osobný príbeh vo svetle Svätého písma: hlas Krista, ktorý ho povoláva za apoštola, pokušenie peňazí, uhryznutie...

Charles IV. Portrait of a Medieval Ruler - Václav Žůrek

Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, has been called "one of the most learned and diplomatically skillful sovereigns” of the fourteenth century. Having moved the seat of the Holy Roman Empire to Prague and founding the first university in Central Europe, Charles IV is a towering figure in Czech history and a crucial character in the story of medieval Europe.Recent research, especially in art history, has tended to present Charles IV in a purely positive, unblemished light: viewing him and his imperial court as the engine behind a flourishing of culture in the region. This book views Charles IV through a more critical lens, examining the careful construction that went into the way he presented himself, winning over people of the time and even today, as well as the most characteristic manifestations of Charles' execution of royal power.The first part of the book offers a chronological description of Charles' life within the broader context of the times and the House of Luxembourg. The second part provides a close look into Charles IV's style of rule while focusing on phenomena that reveal his personal conception of power and how it was wielded.

The Autobiography of Charles Darwin - Charles Darwin

The English naturalist Charles Darwin wrote an autobiography titled The Autobiography of Charles Darwin. Recollections of the Development of my Mind and Character is the title of a text written by Charles Darwin for his family. He claims to have begun writing it about May 28 and finished it by August 3. The work, which included an autobiographical chapter, was published in 1887 by John Murray as part of The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, five years after Darwin's passing. Francis Darwin, Darwin's son, changed the text that appeared in Life and Letters, deleting key sentences reflecting his father's skepticism about Christianity and God. The missing chapters were eventually added by Nora Barlow, Darwin's granddaughter, in a 1958 edition published to mark the book's 100th anniversary of publication. The Autobiography of Charles Darwin 1809-1882 was the title of this publication, which Collins published in London. restored, along with the initial omissions edited with an appendix and notes by Nora Barlow, his granddaughter.

To Catch A King - Charles Spencer

How did the most wanted man in the country outwit the greatest manhunt in British history?In January 1649, King Charles I was beheaded in London outside his palace of Whitehall and Britain became a republic. When his eldest son, Charles, returned in 1651 to fight for his throne, he was crushed by the might of Cromwell’s armies at the battle of Worcester.With 3,000 of his supporters lying dead and 10,000 taken prisoner, it seemed as if his dreams of power had been dashed. Surely it was a foregone conclusion that he would now be caught and follow his father to the block? At six foot two inches tall, the prince towered over his contemporaries and with dark skin inherited from his French-Italian mother, he stood out in a crowd. How would he fare on the run with Cromwell’s soldiers on his tail and a vast price on his head?The next six weeks would form the most memorable and dramatic of Charles’ life. Pursued relentlessly, Charles ran using disguise, deception and relying on grit, fortitude and good luck. He suffered grievously through weeks when his cause seemed hopeless. He hid in an oak tree – an event so fabled that over 400 English pubs are named Royal Oak in commemoration. Less well-known events include his witnessing a village in wild celebrations at the erroneous news of his killing; the ordeal of a medical student wrongly imprisoned because of his similarity in looks; he disguised himself as a servant and as one half of an eloping couple. Once restored to the throne as Charles II, he told the tale of his escapades to Samuel Pepys, who transcribed it all.In this gripping, action-packed, true adventure story, based on extensive archive material, Charles Spencer, bestselling author of Killers of the King, uses Pepys’s account and many others to retell this epic adventure.

After seven years of fighting in the bloodiest war in Britain’s history, Parliament faced a problem: what to do with a defeated king, a king who refused to surrender?Parliamentarians resolved to do the unthinkable, to disregard the Divine Right of Kings and hold Charles I to account for the appalling suffering and slaughter endured by his people. On an icy winter’s day on a scaffold outside Whitehall, the King of England was executed.When the dead king’s son, Charles II, was restored to the throne, he set about enacting a deadly wave of retribution against all those – the lawyers, the judges, the officers on the scaffold – responsible for his father’s death. Bestselling historian Charles Spencer explores this violent clash of ideals through the individuals whose fates were determined by that one, momentous decision. A powerful tale of revenge from the dark heart of royal history and a fascinating insight into the dangers of political and religious allegiance in Stuart England, these are the shocking stories of the men who dared to kill a king.

Těžší než nebe: životopis Kurta Cobaina - Charles R. Cross

Strhující životopis rockové legendy Kurta Cobaina ožívá v audioknize Těžší než nebe v podání Matěje Hádka. Frontman kapely Nirvana byl považován za jeden z nejsilnějších hlasů své generace a hudebního stylu grunge. Byl obdivován fanoušky i kritikou, zároveň ale zápasil s depresí a závislostí na heroinu. Jeho vleklé problémy vyvrcholily v roce 1994, kdy spáchal sebevraždu. Za pouhých 27 let svého života se stal legendou. Životopis Těžší než nebe přesvědčivě konstruuje příběh jeho života a odhaluje mnohá dlouho skrývaná tajemství. Publicista Charles D. Cross pro knihu natočil více než 400 rozhovorů s Cobainovými přáteli, rodiči a kolegy a od jeho manželky Courtney Love získal i mnohé poklady z Cobainova archivu včetně jeho soukromých deníků, textů písní a fotografií. O AUTOROVI Hudební publicista Charles D. Cross žije v Seattlu, což jej předurčilo k zájmu o životopisy mnoha hudebních velikánů. Na kontě má knižní životopis Jimiho Hendrixe, Bruce Springsteena, Led Zeppelin a také Kurta Cobaina. Těžší než nebe vydal v roce 2001, o rok později strhující kniha získala cenu Amerického sdružení hudebních skladatelů, autorů a vydavatelů ASCAP a Los Angeles Times ji označil "jednu z nejdojemnějších a nejobjevnějších knih, jaká kdy byla o rockové hvězdě napsána." O INTERPRETOVI MATĚJ HÁDEK Pro Matěje Hádka byla práce na Těžší než nebe jeho první zkušeností s nahráváním audioknihy. Přední český herec známý z řady divadelních, filmových i televizních a dabingových rolí je znám zejména díky rolím rozporuplných mladých mužů, i proto byl pro intepretaci této audioknihy tou nejvhodnější osobou. V roce 2015 získal Českého lva za roli ve filmu Kobry a užovky.
