''a quietly impressive book, which does something most celebrity autobiographies shy away from: it seeks the truth and, more often than not, finds it.'' - THE MAILA look at the life and times of the man Sir Michael most looked up to.It started in the shadow of the pithead in a South Yorkshire mining village and ended up in tears before an audience of millions. Michael Parkinson''s relationship with his late father John William was, and remains, a family love story overflowing with tenderness and tall tales of sporting valour, usually involving Yorkshire cricket or Barnsley FC. However, it was the overwhelming grief which poured out of Michael when Piers Morgan pressed him about John William in a television interview - four decades after the death of the father he encapsulated as ''Yorkshireman, miner, humorist and fast bowler'' - that convinced one of the outstanding broadcasters and journalists of our time to delve deeper into the dynamics of their lives together. Co-written with his son Mike, this affectionate and revealing memoir explores the influences which shaped John William, Michael and succeeding generations of Parkinsons. The journey leads them from the depths of a Yorkshire coal mine, via the chapel, pub and picture-house, to a spot behind the bowler''s arm at Lord''s and the sands at Scarborough. While Like Father, Like Son conveys a powerful sense of time and place, it is wit, insight and, above all, enduring love which shine through its pages.

“[A] memoir of . . . madcap travels, triumphs and humiliations. [Tonello] peels back the layers of pretension at the eminent design house. . . . Anyone who’s ever stepped into a luxury boutique and felt the sting of the doorman’s disapproval will find a hero in Tonello.” —Miami Herald The hilarious, whirlwind account of an insider’s years spent globe-trotting in search of the handbag called “a better investment than gold”: the Birkin. With a life that reads like a heist novel, Michael Tonello reveals the secret to bagging this legendary purse, coveted by celebrities and status-seekers around the world.For more than twenty years, the Hermès Birkin bag has been the iconic symbol of fashion, luxury, and wealth. Though the bag is often seen dangling from the arms of celebrities, there is a fabled waiting list of more than two years to buy one from Hermès, and the average fashionista has a better chance of climbing Mount Everest in Prada pumps than of possessing one of these coveted carryalls. Unless, of course, she happens to know Michael Tonello . . .Michael’s newfound career started with an impulsive move to Barcelona, a vanished job assignment, no work visa, and a Hermès scarf sold on eBay to generate some quick cash. But soon the resourceful Michael discovered the truth about the waiting list and figured out the secret to getting Hermès to part with one of these precious bags. Millions of dollars worth of Birkins later, Michael had become one of eBay’s most successful entrepreneurs—and a Robin Hood to thousands of desperate rich women. With down-to-earth wit, Michael chronicles the unusual ventures that took him to nearly every continent, from eBay to Paris auction house and into the lives of celebrities and poseurs. Flirting with danger, Michael recounts the heady rush of hand delivering his first big score to famed songwriter Carole Bayer Sager in Paris; how he had to hire thugs to rescue a bag that one of his “shoppers” held for ransom; and the story of the Oscar-worthy performances that allowed him to snag “reserved” bags from other, less dogged Birkin seekers.Whether he’s relating his wining and dining, buying and selling, dodging and weaving, laughing and crying, or schmoozing and stammering, Michael is a master raconteur who weaves together tales of hunting Birkins in the world’s most posh locales, memories of meals that would make any gastronome salivate, anecdotes of obsessed collectors with insatiable desires, and sweetly intimate stories about his family, friends, and finding true love. The result is a memoir that is distinctive, fun, page-turning, and as addictive as its namesake.

Conflict between father and son is one of the oldest themes in literature, and in this open letter to his father - a letter which was never sent - Kafka tries to come to terms with one of the most deeply rooted obsessions of his troubled soul. Written as a long, tense and dramatic confession in which writer and man are gathered together in front of an ambivalent figure of authority, "Dearest Father" is a desperate attempt to retrace the origins of a turbulent and highly conflicted relationship between an unflinching parent and an extremely sensitive child. Both a merciless indictment of his father and an impassioned appeal to him, Kafka's inspired work is one of the most lucid and touching psychological documents of the twentieth century.

When Aziz is murdered in 1985, it changes Raja irrevocably.

''Anyone who has ever walked a dog and found themselves falling into conversation with others doing the same will love this funny, charming and touching book'' RORY CELLAN-JONESOstensibly, Nick Duerden is a cat person, and so the acquisition of a family dog in his late-40s takes him by surprise. The border terrier, Missy, is in part a therapeutic aid - the idea being that she''ll get Nick out of the house after a long period of ill health, and back into the wider, sociable world. Unexpectedly, it works. There can''t be many opportunities in midlife to suddenly find yourself connecting with both hopeful young actor types and widowed octogenarians, a verbose existentialist Russian dissident and a stoned martial arts enthusiast, a bulldog with a basketball and a self-proclaimed animal mystic, but this is precisely what Missy, and the daily walk round the park, provides. (Incidentally, she saves marriages, too.)People Who Like Dogs Like People Who Like Dogs is a book about connection and friendship, love and loss, the vagaries of midlife and the deep solace that comes from an enduring relationship. It''s about finding yourself when for too long you''ve been lost, and how even when, for whatever reason, horizons draw in, there''s still plenty of adventure left. You just have to look harder for it.And it''s about how the introduction of a small dog into your life can make the world big again.

From the patristic period until today, John's Gospel has served as a major source for the church's knowledge, doctrine, and worship of the triune God. Among all New Testament documents the Fourth Gospel provides not only the most raw material for the doctrine of the Trinity, but also the most highly developed patterns of reflection on this material particularly patterns that seek to account in some way for the distinct personhood and divinity of Father, Son and Spirit without compromising the unity of God. While there have been recent, fine studies on aspects of John's doctrine of God, it is surprising that none summarizes and synthesizes what John has to say about God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In order to fill this gap, Kostenberger and Swain offer a fresh examination of John's trinitarian vision.

Účetnictví státu je nesystematické, nevědecké, zbytečně složité a předkládané tak, aby se fakta zatajila, nebo dokonce zfalšovala. Místo aby byly přehlednější, jsou tyto účty čím dál složitější a nejasnější a položky, o které v nich jde, jsou rozsáhlejší a nesrozumitelnější. Neodpovídají skutečnosti a neodpovídají ani sobě navzájem. Politikové a daňoví odborníci se domnívají, že státních úředníků zřejmě přibývá tolik proto, že je třeba udělat mnohem víc práce. Cynikové, kteří začali tento úsudek zpochybňovat, dospěli k názoru, že jestliže tolik úředníků přibylo, pak někteří z nich by už neměli mít co na práci, nebo všichni pracují mnohem kratší dobu.

Arthur Parkinson''s town garden is like a path of pots, a tiny, exposed stage on bricks. Despite its small size, a flower-filled jungle in Venetian tones is grown here each year, in defiance of urbanisation. The plants act like drapes, closing gently as their growth engulfs the front door, from either side of the path, to the buzz of precious bees. This is gardening done entirely in pots, yet on a grand scale that will inspire anyone who wants their doorstep or patio to be a glamorous and lively canvas that nurtures them visually and mentally. From jewel scatterings of crocus, flocks of parrot tulips and scented sweet peas to galaxies of single dahlias, towering giraffes of amaryllises grown inside for winter and endless vases of cut blooms through the seasons. With his bantam hens at his feet, Arthur shares his life, knowledge, flair and influences for planting creatively, all of which combine to create a space that''s rich in ever-changing colour and life.

A captivating, beautifully illustrated memoir of a life in nature, and a testament to the mutual rewards and delights of keeping chickens, by the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Flower Yard''I am a toddler the first time I meet a chicken, and we are equal in size and height. The hen has tiny eyelashes, a strawberry-jam face and a voice of purring clucks. I sense a happy spirit of inquisitiveness and smile in fascination. From that moment on, I will always love the company of chickens. I have found my tribe''Most of us want a dog, or a cat, or a pony when we are young - for Arthur Parkinson, it was always hens. Growing up in an ex-mining town in Nottinghamshire, the other kids in the playground called him ''Chicken Boy''. But the quiet fulfilment of keeping hens became his sanctuary, a tonic for mental and physical health, a connection with his family and the natural world. From the local allotments and his nan''s back garden, to Chatsworth and an unlikely friendship with the late Duchess of Devonshire, a famous hen-keeper, Chicken Boy tells the story of the love and satisfaction to be found in caring for living things.Illustrated with Arthur''s own characterful watercolours and photographs of his ''girls'', and laden with practical hen-keeping tips, gardening advice and introductions to common, rare and pure breeds, Chicken Boy is a one-of-a-kind memoir of a life in nature.

'Arthur's writing has taught me everything useful I know about keeping chickens.... Hen Party is a gorgeous object and a blissful read, thanks to his turn of phrase. It is a repository of essential information, written with palpable love for, and deep knowledge of, his subject' India KnightAn illustrated compendium of common and rare breed chickens by the Sunday Times bestselling gardenerIt is my hope that this book will help you discover, or reconfirm, which chicken breeds are your favourites and encourage you to keep them yourself, or at least to remember them. Spotlighting more than fifty breeds of chicken, from the classy Ancona to the lavishly laced Wyandotte, Arthur Parkinson shares everything you need to know about each breed’s attributes, behaviour, quirks and qualities alongside gorgeous illustrations of his ‘ladies’. Later in the book he offers detailed advice that will equip you with the practical skills to look after hens in your own garden, whether the most common breeds or the most perilously rare – for as Arthur notes, if we don’t celebrate all hens great and small, the lesser-known varieties may well disappear. Joyful and inspiring, Hen Party is a riotous, clucking poultry show of a book for anyone dreaming of the good life.

An inspirational companion to The Flower Yard, a Sunday Times bestseller, arranged seasonally, with tips, hints and advice on growing flamboyant flowers sustainably in containers. "Simply gorgeous" – Nigel Slater on The Flower Yard "The Kew-trained king of the small-space garden" – the Guardian on The Flower Yard Sumptuous, beautiful and packed with refreshingly down-to- earth advice, Arthur Parkinson’s new book focuses on dramatic but easy-to-grow floral plants that will turn your garden into a perfumed, sustainable paradise, teeming with wildlife and alive with the sound of songbirds. Arranged seasonally, it includes sowing tips and propagating hints, plus advice on planning and keeping track of what is happening in your garden. There is focus on floral plants that are easier-to-grow (but still dramatic), and plants that encourage diversity and wildlife –info, for example, on how to properly feed and attract garden birds for the best aphid control (so no pesticides) and how to create his much Instagram liked dolly tub container pond. Arthur also looks at drought-tolerant flowering herbs for sun baked patios and balconies, striking perennial shrubs for winter structure, seeds that can simply be scattered about directly and grown with reasonable neglect to ferns for shady doorstep pots and scented leaf pelargoniums that then become winter houseplants as well as returning to his stalwart glamour flowers that are nectar rich-single dahlias, roses and sweet peas. This is gardening both for the good of ourselves and the planet.

Diptyque Do Son, 75 ml, Parfémované vody pro ženy, Do Son je květinová vůně pro ženy z portfolia francouzské značky nikových (niche) parfémů Diptyque. Filosofie této značky založené v 60. letech třemi přáteli, umělci z různých oborů, se opírá o nehynoucí kreativní vášeň. Vedená širokým a hlubokým parfumérským dědictvím, značka Diptyque i po několika dekádách vytváří s neslábnoucím kreativním zápalem olfaktorická díla, která sobě nemají v parfumérském světě rovno. Toaletní voda Diptyque Do Son nabízí úchvatnou bílou květinovou vůni, inspirovanou mořským vánkem prosyceným aroma tuberózy. Yves Coueslant, filmový architekt a jeden ze zakladatelů značky Diptyque, prožil dětství ve Vietnamu, v přístavním městě na březích Tonkinského zálivu. Jeho osobní vzpomínka na vůni tuberózy a dalších květin a svěží sladkost mořského vánku nad blízkým přímořskými letoviskem Do Son poskytla inspiraci i jméno toaletní vodě, kterou pro značku Diptyque vytvořil renomovaný návrhář parfémů Fabrice Pellegrin. Kouzelně evokativní vůně toaletní vody Diptyque Do Son nádherně ztvárňuje cenné okamžiky, které Yves Coueslant v dětství strávil na otcově přímořské pagodě s výhledem do zálivu a jeho emotivní vztah k úchvatné tuberóze, neoblíbenější květině jeho matky. Vonná kompozice Diptyque Do Son se v hlavě otevírá akordy květů afrického pomerančovníku, růže a kosatce. V srdci zavoní tuberóza a růžový pepř a základ sestává z tónů pižma a benzoinu. Celkové aroma, propojující výrazně dominantní bílou květinovou stránku s tuberózou v hlavní roli a živočišné, pižmové, růžové a sladké aspekty, je svěží, jemně sladké, úchvatně dlouhotrvající a nechybí mu ani lehkost a vzdušnost a současně dotek smyslnosti. Tuberóza v toaletní vodě Do Son působí nádherně přirozeně a přitom smyslně a nesmírně poutavě. „Božsky tajuplná tuberóza odhaluje svou svůdnou moc na loži květin a kuliček pepře. Spočívá v objetí svěží sladkosti mořského vánku, jako pagoda na okraji Tonkinského zálivu,“ uvádí zástupci značky Diptyque a s jejich popisem vůně Do Son nelze než souhlasit. Diptyque Do Son je nejen dokonalou volbou pro milovnice vůně tuberózy, ale získá si také každou ženu, která má ráda bílé květinové vůně s dotekem smyslnosti. V neposlední řadě osloví tato úchvatná toaletní voda všechny znalkyně špičkových parfémů, které dokáží ocenit skutečnou kvalitu, založenou na tradici a kreativitě, a hlubokou a emotivní inspiraci v pozadí vůně. Svou nositelku toaletní voda Do Son zahalí do nádherně emotivně evokativní vůně a pomůže jí podtrhnout její ženskost a smyslnost. Je vhodná k dennímu i večernímu nošení po celý rok, nejlépe ale svěží stránky vůně Diptyque Do Son vyniknou za jarních a letních dnů. Vášeň značky Diptyque k uměleckému mistrovství se projevuje nejen ve výjimečných vůních, ale také v jejich luxusním balení. Unikátní, elegantní flakony jsou vzorovou ukázkou řemeslného umění. V případě toaletní vody Diptyque Do Son zdobí typické oválné logo na průzračném, zaobleném flakonu motiv tematické kresby. Obohaťte svou kosmetickou výbavu o toaletní vodu od luxusní značky s mnohaletou tradicí a zamilujte se do vůně tuberózy v bílé květinové kompozici, která vás vezme na olfaktorickou výpravu k břehům dálného mořského zálivu. Díky vytříbené kvalitě a luxusu vůně a úchvatnosti designového flakonu doplněného elegantní bílou krabičkou je Do Son také dokonalým dárkem pro ženu, které chcete dopřát něco skutečně výjimečného. Diptyque Do Son – svěží, sladká a smyslná květinová toaletní voda s úchvatnou tuberózou v hlavní roli.

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.

In a world of imperfect-at-best and bad-at-worst dads, what is the ideal of fatherhood we aspire to? Why does this ideal exist?What is it about fathers and father figures that looms so large in the lives of so many? So wonders Patton Dodd in this intimate reflection and memoir in which he wrestles with a dad-sized hole, the gap between the father he yearned to have and the father he got—an absent-while-present alcoholic whose unreliability caused chaos for everyone around him.This struggle with the father he was given led to a variety of substituted: fathers he created, from an imaginary "Papa Friend" to male mentors he turned into father figures. Then there''s the father he believed in, a Heavenly Father, made present by the steadfast and stubborn faith of his earthly mother. And finally, there is the father Dodd became when he had his own children, an experience that led him to track down the source and mystery of the father he got.Throughout, Dodd''s story resonates for anyone who struggles with the fathers they got, the fathers they wish they had--and anyone struggling to become the parent they hope to be.A lyrical, emotional meditation on the failures and glories of dadhood, The Father You Get is an extended wrestling match with the mysteries of a distant parental figure and an attempt to bridge the gap between the fathers we get and the fathers our hearts yearn for.

One (Un)Like the Other responds to the question, "What are the conditions of possibility that make genuine knowledge of other persons—and, therefore, love—possible?" By providing an original interpretive framework for exploring ethics in relation to empathy and transcendence from multiple perspectives in continental philosophy, empathy is described as a trace of what remains essentially and irreducibly "other" in every act of givenness. The use of the phenomenological method places "Einfühlung theory" in its rich historical context, beginning with Husserl and the early phenomenologists and extending to contemporary issues that explore "otherness" in light of consciousness, gender, embodiment, community, intentionality, emotions, intersubjectivity, values, language, and apophatic discourse. The implications of recasting "empathy" in an interpretive and dialogical model of reciprocity envision new paradigms of understanding ethics as an infinite playing field. No longer subservient to metaphysics and ontology, empathy is described as an act of infinite concern, a "hermeneutics of suspicion" that transcends epistemological theory and ethical command. Drawing on Husserl, Scheler, Stein, Heidegger, Levinas, Derrida, and others, this study presents an examination and expansion of empathy as an encounter with otherness in its most radical and transcendent forms.
