Love - Anne Marie Pahuus
A brief but engaging look at love. In Love, researcher Anne Marie Pahuus explores the fascinating dimensions of this complicated and alluring feeling. Defining love as a mixture of warm emotions fueled by our wish to be with another person, Pahuus illustrates how love frames and influences our eventful lives, plans, and goals. But we haven t always viewed love in the romantic way that we see it nowâ ”the idea of love has changed and evolved throughout history, from Plato to Kierkegaard and Milan Kundera. Love determines our experience of happiness, but it also defines our responsibilities. Pahuus asks provocative questions: How do our attitudes toward love reinforce or subvert traditional ideas about gender, sexuality, and partnership? And how do we experience and value different forms of love, such as romantic, familial, or universal? Tackling these essential questions with humor and candor, Love will help you reframe your relationship with yourself, others, and the world. In Reflections, a series copublished with Denmark s Aarhus University Press, scholars deliver 60-page reflections on key concepts. These books present unique insights on a wide range of topics that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.

Moje píseň pro Čechy - Kenny Anne Marie
Románový životní příběh Američanky Anne Marie Kenny, která v divokých devadesátých letech našla v Praze svůj domov. S doporučením osobností jako Marta Kubišová, Jáchym Topol, Martin Palouš a ilustrací Petra Síse na obálce. Praha v devadesátých letech, mimořádné místo i doba. Studená válka skončila. Berlínská zeď padla. Země sovětského bloku včetně Československa právě získaly svobodu. Byla to opojná atmosféra s otevřenou budoucností. Zažívala ji i Anne Marie Kenny – zpěvačka s českými kořeny, která se tu dala na podnikání. Její životní příběh si nezadá s románem – tragická rána v dětství, zpívání na Champs Élysées v jednadvaceti, umělecká kariéra v Paříži a Nice, koncert v Redutě na pozvání Václava Havla a následná podnikatelská dráha v Praze. Čtenáři se po jejím boku setkají s pozoruhodnými lidmi – s otcem advokátem, o nějž přišla ve dvou letech, česko-americkou matkou, na níž zůstala výchova pěti dětí, s ekonomickým poradcem Françoise Mitterranda, díky němuž se jí otevřely obzory, s kardinálem, který za komunistů zpovídal při mytí výloh, se sekretářkou, jejíž dědeček skončil v jáchymovských lágrech, s fotografem, jehož rodiče se vzali v Terezíně, a v neposlední řadě i s jejím milovaným manželem, válečným hrdinou, a mnoha dalšími. V dekádě po sametové revoluci tu autorka žila a pracovala mezi lidmi, kteří objevovali své místo v nové demokratické společnosti a vyrovnávali se s minulostí za totality – s minulostí, o níž málokdy mluvili. I ona za vnějším úspěchem tajila vnitřní zmatky. Teď bez obalu vypráví o tom, jak ji ničily neřesti a zachraňovaly hudba, um a láska. Jí i lidem kolem ní dávalo sílu jít dál Havlovo poselství, že má cenu budovat občanskou společnost, která je „lidská, mravní, duchovní a kulturní“. Moje píseň pro Čechy je písní lásky, která vzdává hold duchu českého národa, příběhem osobní i společné cesty ke svobodě. Vzpomínkami zpívanými hlasem planoucí umělkyně. „Píseň pro Čechy Anne Marie Kenny je stejného rodu jako moje Modlitba a pevně doufám, že melodický hlas zpěvačky, který z této knihy zaznívá, českého čtenáře nejen zaujme, ale i potěší.“ Marta Kubišová

Serve - Anne Marie Allen
Anne Marie Allen was fifteen when she was accepted onto a cookery school course that promised real qualifications and a future in the career of her dreams. Seeking a better life, she moved to the calm and peaceful countryside of the west of Ireland. Her happiness was short-lived as it became clear she had been tricked instead into a life of domestic servitude to the members of Opus Dei.Before long she was whisked away to Rome where she signed her life away with vows to serve. What followed were years of misery in slavery, forced celibacy and traumatic physical suffering under an ambitious and tyrannical institution that demanded perfection, humiliation and pain.Her family eventually managed to coerce a visit home where they refused to let her return to the Order, and where they began the long process of deprogramming Anne Marie â “ a task that has been a life-long struggle. Serve is Anne Marieâ ™s remarkable story of strength and resilience in the face of religious zealotry.

Sorry for Your Trouble - Ann Marie Hourihane
The Irish do death differently. Funeral attendance is a solemn duty - but it can also be a big day out, requiring sophisticated crowd control, creative parking solutions and a high-end sound system. Despite having the same basic end-of-life infrastructure as other Western countries, Irish culture handles death with a unique blend of dignified ritual and warm sociability.In Sorry for Your Trouble, Ann Marie Hourihane holds up a mirror to the Irish way of death: the funny bits, the sad bits, and the hard-to-explain bits that tell us so much about who we are. She follows the last weeks of a woman s life in hospice; she witnesses an embalming; she attends inquests; she talks to people working to prevent suicide; she follows the team of specialists working to locate the remains of people disappeared by the IRA; and she visits some of Ireland s most contested graves. She also explores the strange and sometimes surprising histories of Irish death practices, from the traditional wake and ritual lamentations to the busy commerce between anatomists and bodysnatchers. And she goes to funerals, of ordinary and extraordinary people all over the country - including that of her own father. I had joined a club, she writes, the club of people who have lost someone very close to them. And then, with her family, she sets about planning a funeral in the middle of a pandemic.Sorry for Your Trouble sheds fresh, wise and witty light on a key pillar of Irish culture: a vast but strangely underexplored subject. Rich, sparkling and eye-opening, it is one of the best books ever written about Irish life.___________________________ A beautiful, insightful reflection on a very, very peculiar country s approach to the oddest experience of them all RYAN TUBRIDY Hugely moving and illuminating.

Renewal - Anne-Marie Slaughter
From the acclaimed author of Unfinished Business, a story of crisis and change that can help us find renewed honesty and purpose in our personal and political livesLike much of the world, America is deeply divided over identity, equality, and history. Renewal is Anne-Marie Slaughterâ ™s candid and deeply personal account of how her own odyssey opened the door to an important new understanding of how we as individuals, organizations, and nations can move backward and forward at the same time, facing the past and embracing a new future. Weaving together personal stories and reflections with insights from the latest research in the social sciences, Slaughter recounts a difficult time of self-examination and growth in the wake of a crisis that changed the way she lives, leads, and learns. She connects her experience to our national crisis of identity and values as the country looks into a four-hundred-year-old mirror and tries to confront and accept its full reflection. The promise of the Declaration of Independence has been hollow for so many for so long. That reckoning is the necessary first step toward renewal. The lessons here are not just for America. Slaughter shows how renewal is possible for anyone who is willing to see themselves with new eyes and embrace radical honesty, risk, resilience, interdependence, grace, and vision. Part personal journey, part manifesto, Renewal offers hope tempered by honesty and is essential reading for citizens, leaders, and the change makers of tomorrow.

No Far Shore - Anne-Marie Fyfe
No Far Shore is a rich exploration of various coastlines across England, Wales, Ireland, Canada and the US, in the form of travel writing, narrative non-fiction, memoir and poetry. In it poet Anne-Marie Fyfe visits the meeting place of land and sea, and takes in the maps, waves, lighthouses, islands, north, maps, journeys, boats and fishermen which mark this changing boundary. She looks too at the work of a number of writers for whom the coast has been influential (and who in some cases have a surprising link to her hometown of Cushenden in Northern Ireland). They include Elizabeth Bishop, Herman Melville, Eavan Boland, Moira Oâ ™Neill, Robinson Jeffers, George Mackay Brown, C.P. Cavafy and Louis MacNeice. In addition, Fyfe also travels into her past, and that of her family, and charting her own relationship with a number of coasts and the way that they have shaped her life and those of others. Living next to the sea brings almost as many subjects as the waves falling on to the land, from the quiet ease of fishing to the impact of the shipwreck of the Princess Victoria, from the lyricism of nature poetry to the specialism of morse code and cartography.

Anne Boleyn
A FRESH ACCOUNT OF TWO OF ENGLANDS BEST-KNOWN QUEENS: PERFECT FOR FANS OF WOLF HALL AND SIX THE MUSICAL Readers LOVE Anne Boleyn Elizabeth I: A wonderful book and one I m sure I ll be reading again âââââ This really is a triumph! . . . A lucid and fascinating account âââââ So well written and meticulously researched âââââ*************************Anne Boleyn is a subject of enduring fascination. By far the most famous of Henry VIII s six wives, she has inspired books, documentaries and films, and is the subject of intense debate even today, almost 500 years after her violent death. For the most part, she is considered in the context of her relationship with Tudor England s much-married monarch. Dramatic though this story is, of even greater interest - and significance - is the relationship between Anne and her daughter, the future Elizabeth I.Elizabeth was less than three years old when her mother was executed. Given that she could have held precious few memories of Anne, it is often assumed that her mother exerted little influence over her. But this is both inaccurate and misleading. Elizabeth knew that she had to be discreet about Anne, but there is compelling evidence that her mother exerted a profound influence on her character, beliefs and reign. Even during Henry s lifetime, Elizabeth dared to express her sympathy for her late mother by secretly wearing Anne s famous A pendant when she sat for a painting with her father and siblings.Piecing together evidence from original documents and artefacts, this book tells the story of Anne Boleyn s relationship with, and influence over her daughter Elizabeth. In so doing, it sheds new light on two of the most famous and influential women in history.*****************************Critical acclaim for Anne Boleyn Elizabeth I: (A)sensational book by one of our greatest and best-loved historians... Astoundingly good. - Alison Weir Masterful, captivating, page-turning, this is solid gold history at its best. - Nicola Tallis (A) thought-provoking, impeccably researched, and moving account uncovering how Anne s family, intellect, and tragedy shaped Elizabeth I s extraordinary career. - Gareth Russell Her extensive research... reveals them as the most dazzling female double act in history. - Sarah Gristwood Incredibly well-researched, elegantly written, and overall genuinely ground-breaking, - Estelle Paranque

Despite being flagrantly foreign to the locals, she becomes an efficient go-between for the upper-class ladies helping out with the war effort and her own tribe of noisy displaced families.It is only when she is shifted to the countryside to become secretary to the plain-speaking and sightless Major Inchbold that Rose s dizzying journey to womanhood will become more surreal than ever, as she drinks tea at the vicarage and stands up for the lower orders. But Rose s greatest dilemma is yet to come, as she must decide where her home - and her heart - really lies.In Anne Youngson s wry and sublimely understated prose, this unique and beautiful story of love, class and belonging is also a profound and intimate meditation on what it takes to find our place in the world.*******************************Praise for ANNE YOUNGSON: Tender, wise and moving, Meet Me at the Museum is a novel to cherish.

Somehow - Anne Lamottová
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERLove is our only hope. It is not always the easiest choice, but it is always the right one, the noble path, the way home to safety, no matter how bleak the future looks.In Somehow: Thoughts on Love, Anne Lamott explores the transformative power that love has in our lives: how it surprises us, forces us to confront uncomfortable truths, reminds us of our humanity and guides us forward. In each chapter, Lamott refracts all the colours of the spectrum. She explores the unexpected love for a partner later in life. The bruised (and bruising) love for a child who disappoints, even frightens. Drawing from her own life and experience to delineate the intimate and elemental ways that love buttresses us in the face of despair, she galvanises us to believe that tomorrow will be better than today. The lessons she underscores are that love enlightens as it educates, comforts as it energises, sustains as it surprises. Full of the compassion and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers, Somehow is classic Anne Lamott: funny, warm and wise.

A compelling historical murder mystery set amongst the artists in seventeenth-century Paris. For fans of C.J. Sansom and S.J. Parris.

When a body washes up on the banks of the Bièvre river, a young woman finds herself embroiled in an intricate murder case.At first it seems mere coincidence that the dead man was discovered outside the Royal Manufactory of the Gobelins, home to a community of artists and craftsmen. He was not one of them, after all. But Anne-Marie, a sculptor s wife, soon realises that the victim may well be known within the walls of the Gobelins - and that the killer might be amongst them.With the police apparently disinterested, it is a mystery that is hers alone to solve. Anne-Marie s investigations will take her from the unsavoury slums of the Ile Notre-Dame to the grand ducal residences of the Place Royale. But who can she truly trust on the streets of Paris?Readers LOVED An Artist in Her Own Right: A wonderful blend of fact and fiction that I literally read in two sittings Alive with action and colour The ebb and flow of relationships, between family members and artists, are beautifully conceived and nuanced Wonderful imaginative detail

Audiokniha: KAVÁRNA S BOHATOU TRADICÍ BEZOHLEDNÝ KONKURENT OSUDOVÁ LÁSKA Wiesbaden, rok 1951 Kavárnu U Anděla čekají bouřlivé časy. Hned vedle tradičního podniku rodiny Kochových vzbudí pozornost jistý konkurent se smyslem pro modernost. Zatímco se Hilda zoufale snaží přesvědčit rodiče o tom, že je třeba kavárnu modernizovat, je ohrožena i její těžce vydobytá láska. Se štěstím obou jejích bratrů to není o nic lepší: Wilhelm, obdivovaný ženami, se zaplétá do povrchních milostných hrátek, přičemž jeho srdce touží po ženě, která je pro něho nedosažitelná. A jeho starší bratr August se ke všemu po svém návratu z ruského válečného zajetí zamiluje do mladé Rusky, aniž tuší, že jeho volba hrozí rozštěpit rodinu... Venku svítí zcela nevinně předjarní slunce. Na lavičkách na ulici Warmer Damm posedávají lidé v kabátech a kloboucích a nastavují prvním paprskům tváře pobledlé zimním obdobím. Na záhonech kvetou žluté a bílé krokusy, první tulipány už vystrkují z půdy své lipově zelené hlavičky. Naproti před kavárnou U Krále už dva číšníci skutečně staví stolky a skládací židličky. Hilda je pozdraví pokývnutím hlavy a pomyslí si, že v tomhle březnovém chladnu sotva někdo bude pít kávu venku. Nebo přece jen? Kavárna U Krále, která vznikla před dvěma lety v provizorní budově hned vedle kavárny U Anděla, je Hildě a její rodině trnem v oku.

Love of My Life - Lesley-Ann Jonesová
EYEWITNESS GOLD SUNDAY TIMESWHO - OR WHAT - WAS THE REAL LOVE OF FREDDIE MERCURY S LIFE? THE SENSATIONAL NEW BIOGRPHAY OF QUEEN S FRONTMAN Millions of Queen and screen fans who watched the Oscar-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody believe that Mary Austin, the woman he could never quite let go of, was the love of Freddie Mercury s life. But the truth is infinitely more complicated.Best-selling biographer and music writer Lesley-Ann Jones explores the charismatic frontman s romantic encounters, from his boarding school years in Panchgani, India to his tragic, final, bed-ridden days in his magnificent London mansion. She reveals why none of his love interests ever perfected the art of being Freddie s life partner.In Love of My Life, the author follows him through his obsessions with former shop girl Mary, German actress Barbara Valentin and Irish-born barber boyfriend Jim Hutton. She explores his adoration of globally fêted Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé. She delves into his intimate friendship with Elton John, and probes his imperishable bonds with his fellow band members. She deconstructs his complicated relationship with the food of love - his music - and examines closely his voracious appetite for - what some would call his fatal addiction to - sex. Which of these was the real love of Freddie Mercury s life? Was any of them? Drawing on personal interviews and first-hand encounters, this moving book brings to the fore a host of Freddie s lesser-known loves, weaving them in and out of the passions that consumed him. The result, a mesmerising portrait of a legendary rock star, is unputdownable. Love of My Life, published during the year of the 30th anniversary of his death and that would have seen his 75th birthday, is Lesley-Ann s personal and compassionate tribute to an artist she has revered for as long as she has written about music and musicians.

The Self-Love Mindset - Lauri-Ann Ainsworth
Find success and create organisational change by focusing on your own happiness and wellbeing Written by Lauri-Ann Ainsworth, CEO of the Richard Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship Caribbean, the region s foremost business accelerator, The Self-Love Mindset: Why Personal Wellbeing is the Ultimate Business Strategy shares a deeply personal journey, revealing how true successâ ”both personal and professionalâ ”begins with self-love. Ainsworth believes that people are at the heart of every business. When individuals are empowered to love and care for themselves, that love naturally extends to the organization and even the community they serve. This book is about more than just professional successâ ”it s about creating environments where people thrive because they feel seen, valued, and encouraged to be their best selves. The magic of The Self-Love Mindset lies in three core pillars: Love Yourself through Self-Care: When individuals take responsibility for their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, they become more resilient. They can rise above daily stresses and challenges, fuelling themselves from within and bringing their best energy into the workplace - whether leading a team, running a business, or pursuing personal projects. Know Yourself through Self-Awareness: Self-awareness helps people uncover their inner strengths and understand the environment that allows them to thrive. When individuals align their strengths with their work, they not only improve their own performance but also create and contribute to a positive, collaborative company culture. Create Value by Being of Service: Extending self-love through service is how individuals create lasting value, whether in a team, business, or community. When driven by purpose, you contribute meaningfully, enriching both your own life and the lives of others. Ainsworth argues that businesses are only as strong as the people who power them. No matter the context, self-love and personal well-being are at the core of sustained success. When individuals take care of themselves, align their strengths with their work, and serve others, they create a foundation for success that transcends any specific role or career path. In today s rapidly changing world, the businesses that will excel are those that recognize the value of their people and foster a culture of self-love and well-being. It s not just about perks or compensationâ ”it s about creating an environment where individuals feel empowered to be their authentic selves, where their personal growth is aligned with the growth of the organization. When people love themselves, that love extends to their work, the organization, and ultimately the community. This is the future of business success. The Self-Love Mindset is a blueprint for creating that changeâ ”showing that when people come first, business goals are not only met, they are exceeded. Empowering individuals to embrace self-love will be the game-changer that defines which organizations thrive in the next generation.

Zadní dům - Anne Franková
Po dvaceti pěti letech vychází zcela nový překlad deníku Anne Frankové. Poprvé v češtině s názvem, který svému dílu zamýšlela dát sama jeho autorka. Deník v dopisech si Anne Franková vedla od 12. června 1942 do 1. srpna 1944. Psala si ho jen pro sebe až do chvíle, kdy na jaře 1944 vyslechla z vysílání londýnského Rádia Oranje projev nizozemského exilového ministra školství. Vyzýval, aby lidé po skončení války shromáždili a zveřejnili všechna svědectví o utrpení nizozemského lidu za německé okupace. Jako příklad uvedl mimo jiné deníky. Pod dojmem tohoto projevu se Anne Franková rozhodla, že po válce vydá knihu. Základem k ní měl být její deník. Anne si k tomu 29. března 1944 zapsala: Milá Kitty, včera večer mluvil v Rádiu Oranje ministr Bolkestein o tom, že po válce bude uspořádána sbírka deníků a dopisů z téhle války. Samozřejmě se hned všichni vrhli na můj deník. Vždyť si představ, jak zajímavé by bylo, kdybych vydala román Zadní dům. Už jenom z titulu by lidé měli dojem, že je to detektivka. Od května 1944 začala deník přepracovávat a přepisovat, zanášela do něj opravy, vynechávala pasáže, které nepovažovala za dostatečně zajímavé, a jiné po paměti připisovala. Současně pokračovala v psaní původního deníku (badatelé ho později nazvali verze A - na rozdíl od přepracovaného deníku, který se označuje jako verze B). Poslední zápis Anne Frankové je z 1. srpna 1944. Již 4. srpna všech osm obyvatel úkrytu zatkla tzv. zelená policie. Pomocnice ve skrývání Miep Giesová s Bep Voskuijlovou Anniny zápisky hned v den zatčení odnesly do bezpečí. Miep Giesová je uložila v zásuvce svého psacího stolu, a až když se potvrdilo, že Anne věznění v koncentračním táboře nepřežila, předala je, aniž je četla, Anninu otci Ottovi Frankovi. Otto Frank se po zralé úvaze rozhodl, že splní přání své zemřelé dcery a zápisky vydá knižně. Za tím účelem sestavil z obou Anniných verzí, původní (verze A) a vlastnoručně přepracované (verze B), zkrácenou třetí verzi (C). Aktuálně po celém světě vydávanou, autorizovanou verzi připravila z pověření basilejského Fondu Anne Frankové německá spisovatelka a překladatelka Mirjam Presslerová. Převzala Frankův výběr záznamů z verze C a doplnila jej pasážemi z deníkových verzí A a B. Nový, celkem už třetí překlad deníku do češtiny, pořídila Magda de Bruin Hüblová. Vrací se k názvu, jejž si Anne pro svoji zamýšlenou knihu přála a s nímž vychází deník v nizozemštině. Ke svému pojetí překladu napsala Magda de Bruin Hüblová: K deníku Anne Frankové lze při překládání přistupovat dvěma způsoby: jako k dokumentu, což vyžaduje co nejpřesnější překlad, nebo jako k literárnímu dílu, což umožňuje jisté uhlazení textu s ohledem na mladé čtenáře. Protože se nový překlad má stát součástí souborného vydání díla Anne Frankové, v němž poprvé v češtině vyjdou i autentické, ,neučesané‘ verze A a B, přiklonila jsem se k první možnosti. Můj překlad tak zachovává víc než předchozí české překlady zvláštnosti předlohy. Annelies Marie FRANKOVÁ (12. června 1929 - únor 1945) v roce 1933 s rodiči a starší sestrou Margot emigrovala z Německa do Amsterodamu. Od července 1942 se tu rodina skrývala v zadní části domu, který patřil otcově firmě, aby unikla pronásledování Židů. Dospívající Anne si psala od 12. června 1942 až do prozrazení úkrytu na začátku srpna 1944 deník. Po zatčení byla rodina deportována do koncentračních táborů v Německu a na území dnešního Polska, přežil jen otec. Anne zahynula v Bergen-Belsenu. Po válce otec Annin deník vydal, byl přeložen do mnoha jazyků, zdramatizován a zfilmován. Toto vydání přináší nový překlad do češtiny.

A Cruel Love - Carol Ann Lee
In 1955, former nightclub manageress Ruth Ellis shot her lover, David Blakely, dead. A two-day trial followed, but despite huge public outcry, she was found guilty and sentenced to death. At 28, Ruth became the last woman executed in Britain, her hanging one of the most notorious under prolific hangman Albert Pierrepoint. Carol Ann Lee examines the facts behind the headlines surrounding this infamous case, which many believe led to the dismantling of the death penalty a decade later.
