Černý telefon a další příběhy - Joe Hill - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Smutné, děsivé, zvláštní, dojemné, zábavné a někdy dokonce sladké… Opuštěný psací stroj, jehož majitel náhle zemřel. Nádherná dívka, která čeká v přítmí kinosálu, líbá jako božská Marilyn a ví všechno o filmech i smrti. Nafukovací kluk, co se mezi spolužáky stane obětí šikany. Anebo rozbitý černý telefon ve sklepě, kam maskovaný únosce zamkl mladíka Johna Finneyho stejně jako půl tuctu kluků před tím. Všechny jejich příběhy spojuje jeden muž – Joe Hill, syn slavného hororového autora Stephena Kinga, který se vydal v otcových šlépějích a ve výběrové antologii znepokojivých povídek přibližuje strach ze známého i netušeného. Titulní povídka Černý telefon se v roce 2021 dočkala úspěšné filmové adaptace s Ethanem Hawkem v hlavní roli. „Nejlepší nový horor získal cenu British Fantasy Award za nejlepší povídku v roce 2006.“ Audiokniha obsahuje kromě Černého telefonu také další autorova kratší díla – 20th Centrury Ghost, Šeherezádin psací stroj, Nejlepší nový horor a Pop Art. „Hillovy příběhy jsou místy niterné a odporné, ale nikdy ne bezdůvodně... – SCI-FI NOW, Ross Sutcliffe. „Nejlepší nový horor je hodně zneklidňujícím otvírákem sbírky, a podle mého mínění je nejděsivějším příběhem ze všech.

Tony Lock - Alan Hill

The rollercoaster career of Tony Lock, extending over twenty-five years, is the saga of a resilient cricketer who triumphed over adversity.He was an inspirational figure in Surrey’s seven consecutive championship wins in the 1950s when he forged a feared spin partnership with Jim Laker for both club and country. Controversy stalked Lock as a bowler during his destructive rule with Surrey and England but the return to the orthodox style of his youth brought renewed acclaim. He rejoiced in another role as captain in reviving the fortunes of Leicestershire and Western Australia, where he led the state to victory in the Sheffield Shield.Tony Lock was, for a legion of admirers, an incorrigible showman, with boundless enthusiasm for the game. It was said of him, for instance, that when he appealed at the Oval, someone else was given out at Lord’s. Tony Lock: Aggressive Master of Spin is an engrossing study that reveals the paradox of a volatile and vulnerable man, but an astonishingly durable cricketer; his memory will endure.

In Praise of Shadows - Džuničiró Tanizaki

A fully illustrated, beautifully produced edition of Junichiro Tanizaki''s wise and evocative essay on Japanese culture. ‘We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates… Were it not for shadows, there would be no beauty.’ This book is in fact a portal. Reading it, you will be led by Junichiro Tanizaki’s light touch into a mysterious and tranquil world of darkness and shadows, where gold flashes in the gloom and a deep stillness reigns. If you are accustomed to equate light with clarity, the faded with the worthless and the dim with the dreary, prepare for a courteous but powerful realignment of your ideas. In Praise of Shadows is a poetic paean to traditional Japanese aesthetics – in a free-ranging style that moves from architecture to No theatre, and from cookery to lighting, Tanizaki teaches us to see the beauty in tarnished metal, the sombre dignity in unglazed pottery, the primacy of organic materials that bear witness to the regular touch of human hands. It is also astonishingly prescient, offering a gentle warning against the quest for airbrushed perfection, and reminding us that too ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Other Side of Notting Hill - Roger Rogowski

Notting Hill has inspired a large number of books and has often made national news – though not always for the right reasons. It has forever been an area of contrast between rich and poor, and has undergone almost constant change since it was developed from farmland in the mid-nineteenth century to today’s urban landscape. Roger Rogowski’s book records the memories of people who lived in working-class Notting Hill in their own words, before the substantial changes of the 1960s, including the mass demolition of slums, the construction of the Westway, the growth of the Notting Hill Carnival and the area’s enthusiastic embrace of the swinging sixties. The Other Side of Notting Hill delves into everyday urban, working-class life as it was, which in many respects is almost unrecognisable today, and how people began to be affected by the changes taking place around them.

When we spend so much of our time immersed in books, who''s to say where reading ends and living begins? The two are impossibly and gloriously wedded, as Hill shows in Jacob''s Room Is Full of Books. Considering everything from Edith Wharton''s novels through to Alan Bennett''s diaries, Virginia Woolf and the writings of twelfth century monk Aelred of Rievaulx, Susan Hill charts a year of her life through the books she has read, reread or returned to the shelf. From beneath a shady tree in a hot French summer, or the warmth of a kitchen during an English winter, Hill reflects on what her reading throws up, from writing and writers to politics and religion, as well as the joy of dandies or the pleasure of watching a line of geese cross a meadow. Full of wry observations and warm humour, as well as strong opinions freely aired, this is a rare and wonderful insight into the rich world of reading from one of the nation''s most accomplished authors.

City of Light, City of Shadows - x Mike Rapport

Paris in the Belle Époque is remembered as a golden age of cultural flourishing and political progress. The period between the revolutionary 1870s and the outbreak of war in 1914 saw the modern French capital take shape: by day Parisians could admire the rising Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Coeur Basilica, while at night they roamed the Bohemian world of the Moulin Rouge. But as Mike Rapport reveals in this authoritative and beautifully written new history, City of Light, City of Shadows, beneath the elegant veneer Paris was at war with itself. For the Belle Époque was also an era of social and religious unrest, arguments over women''s emancipation and violent clashes over what it meant to be French.Paris pulsated with pleasure, anxieties and tension stemming from the giddying speed of modernity: blazing electric lights illuminating the night, the first cars speeding down the boulevards, as well as the first Métro trains and aeroplane flights. At the same time reactionary forces reasserted themselves through the new mass media-mostly dramatically in the infamous Dreyfus affair, which exposed the dark heart of French antisemitism. Told through the eyes of the greatest personalities of the age-novelist Émile Zola, feminist activist Marguerite Durand, Vietnamese diplomat Nguyễn ... Unknown localization key: "more"
