The Secrets Between Us - Thrity Umrigar

More than a decade since her bestselling novel, The Space Between Us, Thrity Umrigar continues Bhima’s unforgettable story in this stunning sequel.“The women at the heart of this novel inhabit the harsh world of the urban Indian poor, and struggle separately and together for dignity and survival. Thrity Umrigar has written a moving human tale that vividly brings to life both the women and the city of Mumbai.”—Salman RushdieBhima, the unforgettable main character of Thrity Umrigar’s beloved national bestseller The Space Between Us, returns in this triumphant sequel—a poignant and compelling novel in which the former servant struggles against the circumstances of class and misfortune to forge a new path for herself and her granddaughter in modern India.Poor and illiterate, Bhima had faithfully worked for the Dubash family, an upper-middle-class Parsi household, for more than twenty years. Yet after courageously speaking the truth about a heinous crime perpetrated against her own family, the devoted servant was cruelly fired. The sting of that dismissal was made more painful coming from Sera Dubash, the temperamental employer who had long been Bhima’s only confidante. A woman who has endured despair and loss with stoicism, Bhima must now find some other way to support herself and her granddaughter, Maya.Bhima’s fortunes take an unexpected turn when her path intersects with Parvati, a bitter, taciturn older woman. The two acquaintances soon form a tentative business partnership, selling fruits and vegetables at the local market. As they work together, these two women seemingly bound by fate grow closer, each confessing the truth about their lives and the wounds that haunt them. Discovering her first true friend, Bhima pieces together a new life, and together, the two women learn to stand on their own.A dazzling story of strength, friendship, and second chances, The Secrets Between Us is a powerful and perceptive novel that brilliantly evokes the complexities of life in modern India and the harsh realities faced by women born without privilege as they struggle to survive.

The Rabbit Between Us - Victor Menza

One morning as they parted, Victor Menza s young daughter handed him a bunny postcard. This gift made him wonder anew why rabbits were their symbol of visitation: How did this kind of creature become such a powerful way of feeling your presence? Through philosophy, history, education, art, and personal musing on everyday uncanny experiences, Menza reveals why people have long found rabbits our special kin and emblems of love. Menza considers human nature and how we are undone by separation--both from one another and from our childhood selves. Surprising allies in these non-traditional philosophical wanderings include Ludwig Wittgenstein, J. L. Austin, William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Bowen, William Turner, Albert Murray, Beatrix Potter, Henry Koster s film Harvey, Jean Toomer, Donald Winnicott, Leopold Senghor, and Lev Vygotsky. Menza offers examinations of what symbols are and how they work, the value of dialect, and the subversive lessons in animal fables, alongside his thoughts on language learning, memory, and slavery. Only now did he see that he d taken to Brer Rabbit early on. Just as the Uncle Remus tales displayed the small hero s virtues in warm dialogues, The Rabbit Between Us shows how we abound in talents and moves when we lean like Socrates did to the Aesop in us . Gentle and political at once, this unique book will appeal to any intellectually curious reader.

Bhima is real. She worked in the house I grew up in, year after year, a shadow flitting around our middle-class home, her thin brown hands cleaning furniture she was not allowed to sit on, cooking food she was not allowed to share at the family dining table, dusting the stereo that mainly played American rock and roll, music that was alien and unfamiliar to her, that only reminded her of her nebulous presence in our home, our world, our lives. Thrity UmrigarSet in contemporary Bombay, â ˜The Space Between Usâ ™ tells the story of Sera Dubash, an upper-middle-class Parsi housewife and Bhima, the woman who works as a domestic servant in her home. Despite their class differences, the two women are bound by the bonds of gender and shared life experiences â “ both had marriages that started out with great romantic love and promise, but ended up as crushing disappointments. Ultimately, Sera Dubash faces a decision that will force her to choose between loyalty to gender and friendship or loyalty to her social position and class.

How have the modern world, technology and our addiction to information changed who we are? What effect does it have on our relationships, minds and bodies? What can the simple act of sitting still teach us about ourselves? When Tim Parks fails to find a cause for his crippling chronic pain, he turns to meditation. This is, however, not your average self-help book or conversion story; instead, it is a refreshingly honest and profoundly moving introspection of one writer and his quest to overcome the inner battle between mind and body.

Parks of the 21st Century - Victoria Newhouse, Alex Pisha

We are in the midst of a worldwide golden age of park creation, and featured here are powerfully telling examples at the forefront of this renaissance. Parks are essential to our well-being; this has never been clearer than it is today, and a recent surge of park development offers us much to celebrate. Parks of the 21st Century presents 52 parks in the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Europe, and China that have turned despoiled and polluted land (including former factories, railroads, and industrial waterfronts) into beneficial landscapes. Landscape architects have been referred to as “the first environmentalists,” and Parks of the 21st Century shows how parks are being designed as proactive, dynamic green spaces. The High Line in New York is an early example of how an obsolete railroad could be transformed. Opened in 2009, it now attracts nearly 8 million visitors a year. In addition to providing public open space, these renewed landscapes offer economic revitalization and large-scale environmental improvement. Among the parks featured in this book are designs by well-known professionals such as James Corner Field Operations, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Kongjian Yu/Turenscape, and Catherine Mosbach.

V hlavní roli Adele Astairová - Eliza Knight

Fred Astaire je jeden z nejslavnějších tanečníků 20. století, jenž spolu se svou partnerkou Ginger Rogers dobyl jeviště a kina po celé Americe. Málo se však ví, že proslulé duo Ginger a Fred mělo svého předchůdce: první taneční partnerkou slavného Freda byla jeho starší sestra Adele. Sourozenci Astairovi (původním jménem Austerlitzovi, rodina si po příchodu do Ameriky změnila jméno) byli dětskou senzací již na počátku století a kritikové tehdy dokonce považovali o tři roky starší Adele za tu talentovanější a zářivější polovinu sourozeneckého dua. Jejich světový úspěch se zrodil v den, kdy společně nastoupili premiérovou cestu do Evropy, jež jim od základů změnila život. Především Adele na evropských podiích zářila a Londýn ji přivítal jako superhvězdu. U nohou jí klečeli synové z nejváženějších aristokratických rodin včetně samotného následníka, ovšem Adele měla – na rozdíl od cílevědomého bratra – o svém životě jinou představu. Adelin příběh dokresluje její fiktivní přítelkyně Violet, mladá tanečnice pocházející z nuzných poměrů, jež se stůj co stůj snaží uspět ve velkém světě prken, jež znamenají svět. A dosažení svých cílů je ochotná obětovat takřka vše. Plastický příběh Adelina života se v rychlém tempu odvíjí na pozadí převratných historických událostí. Jak ve velkém, celosvětovém měřítku, tak i v drobných detailech týkajících se postavy Adele se autorka důsledně přidržuje faktů a už od první stránky nás vtáhne do atraktivního, ale mnohdy i drsného světa profesionálních tanečníků.Vychází v překladu Hany Sichingerové.
