"Poprvé jsem Bobbyho Zimmermana z Hibbingu potkal v roce 1953 na prázdninovém táboře v severním Wisconsinu. Bylo mu dvanáct a měl vlastní kytaru. Všem na potkání vykládal, že z něj jednou bude rokenrolová hvězda. Bylo mi jedenáct a věřil jsem mu to." Tak začíná svou knihu Louie Kemp. Z Bobbyho Zimmermana se stal Bob Dylan a z Louieho velkoobchodník s rybami. Zůstali přátelé po celý život. Oba úspěšní, každý v tom svém. Na společné příhody, dobrodružství a cesty nyní Louie Kemp poprvé vzpomíná. V knize vystupuje Marlon Brando, Allen Ginsberg, Joni Mitchellová, Joan Baezová, Dennis Hopper a mnoho dalších známých i neznámých osob a osobností. Louie Kemp, producent Rolling Thunder Revue, živě popisuje, jak tato nezapomenutelná koncertní šňůra valícího se hromu vznikala a jak byla zakončena lyžařskými radovánkami. Dozvíme se také, jak proběhlo turné v Japonsku, proč Warholova Dvojitého Elvise vyměnil Bob Dylan za pohovku, co zahrál na sederové večeři o největším židovském svátku a s kolika rabíny se postupně on a Louie Kemp vlastně setkali. Knížka není zbytečně dlouhá, skvěle se čte a vtáhne nás do děje hned na prvních stránkách. Je to příběh pravého přátelství rámovaný dobře zvolenou muzikou.

Audiokniha: Koho by občas nepotrápila nimravka nebo mlátilka, že? Naštěstí je tu paní Láryfáry, kouzelná přítelkyně všech rošťáků! Paní Láryfáry je docela maličká, na zádech má hrb a voní po vanikových rohlíčcích. Bydlí v domku postaveném vzhůru nohama se svým psem Darebou a kočkou Ťapkou a všechny děti ji moc rády navštěvují. Kluci hledají na zahradě poklad, co tu zakopal její nebožtík manžel – pirát a holčičky si zkoušejí její parádní převleky a pěstují na záhonech květiny. Nejen že si paní Láryfáry s dětmi rozumí mnohem víc než s dospělými, ale zná taky protilék na spoustu jejich zvláštních neduhů, které přidělávají rodičům vrásky na čele. A tak jí maminky brzy začnou volat, aby se poradily, jak léčit dětské nemoci jako hubatida, lakomice, ještěchvilkína nebo čurbesajda. Paní Láryfáry ale nerozdává kouzelné pilulky, kdepak. Zná spoustu chytrých rad a legračních návodů, díky kterým se děti vyléčí samy a rády. Betty MacDonaldová (1908–1958) Betty MacDonaldová se narodila do početné a svérázné rodiny, která se často stěhovala. Ve dvaceti letech se Betty vdala a odešla na odlehlou slepičí farmu. Tuto svou „drůbeží“ etapu pak zachytila v knize Vejce a já, románové prvotině, která jí zajistila okamžitý úspěch. Po vypuknutí Velké hospodářské krize se Betty s dvěma dcerami vrátila za rodinou do Seattlu. Zde pak MacDonaldovi vedli sice nesnadný, zato příhodami nabitý život, který Betty později popsala v memoárech Co život dal a vzal. Knihy Betty MacDonaldové si získaly srdce milionů čtenářů díky jejímu neutuchajícímu optimismu a osobitému humoru. Dana Syslová (1950) Dětství strávila Dana Syslová na venkově u prarodičů, matčina profese knihovnice ji přivedla k zálibě ve čtení a v době dospívání zcela propadla divadlu. Vystudovala herectví na DAMU a ještě před dokončením studií získala angažmá v Městských divadlech pražských, kde strávila třicet let (1964–1994). Objevila se v desítkách filmových a televizních rolí a věnuje se také dabingu, za který získala Cenu Františka Filipovského. Její hlas je spojený zejména s herečkou Helen Mirren, ale propůjčila jej také Dianě Keaton, Vanesse Redgrave, Susan Sarandon a řadě dalších. Díky svému osobitému projevu se prosadila v rozhlase, kde se stala například hlavní protagonistkou rozhlasového seriálu Život je pes. Pejsci jsou zároveň jejím velkým hobby.

A gripping portrait of the man considered the last universal genius that takes us on a mind-expanding journey through the history of ideas'The Leibniz biography for our time. It is difficult to even begin to do justice to his rich spirit, but Kempe succeeds' Daniel Kehlmann, author of Measuring the WorldGottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was one of history's most astounding thinkers, a universal genius akin to Leonardo da Vinci or Benjamin Franklin, but comparatively little known. In this mind-expanding biography, historian Michael Kempe charts a thrilling course through Leibniz's work, illuminating the continued impact of his unparalleled contributions to knowledge.Recreating seven crucial days in Leibniz's life, Kempe shows us a great mind in action, surging with ideas that would change the course of mathematics and philosophy, even laying early foundations for modern digital culture. We find him in Paris, working from his bed amidst a sea of notes when he puts the basis for modern calculus to paper for the first time; and in Vienna, enjoying a coffee as he discovers unforeseen links between biology and mathematics.Convinced that everything was profoundly interconnected, Leibniz was driven by an exhilarating optimism that allowed him to build bridges between faith and reason, physics and metaphysics - and to harness the endless potential of a single mind on a single day.

An epic story of love, loss and pining for fans of One Day. It's the year 2000. I'm fourteen. I'm trying really hard to be a grunger right now in a Foo Fighters t-shirt and a spiked choker. There were rumours that the world was going to end. It hadn't as of yet but I still had reasons to believe that was true. 'I loved it, I loved it, I loved it!' Dawn O'Porter 'Very funny. I Love You, I Love You, I Love You bursts with energy.' Matt Haig 'A spectacular, funny portrayal of being young and in love.' Woman & Home Ella and Lowe are teenagers when they first meet in summer 2000. For her, it's love at first sight. But it's safest to love from afar, where the friendship zone is her safety net and she can't get hurt. Certain that the most beautiful boy she's ever seen couldn't possibly feel the same, Ella counts herself lucky to have him as her best friend. Over the next fifteen years they share everything: bottles of cider and cigarettes in the rain, gossip and laughter, grief and fear. But every time Lowe kisses another girl, Ella feels her heart break just that little bit more. She'll have to choose whether it's enough to be just friends with the love of her life, or if she's prepared to let the terrifying, beautiful, all-consuming truth come to light. From a unique new voice in adult fiction, I Love You, I Love You, I Love You is a glorious nostalgia trip for anyone who has ever known the exquisite pain and pleasure of first love. 'So visceral, nostalgic, mucky, heartbreaking and bittersweet. Just DELICIOUS.' Kirsty Capes 'A transporting, technicolour plunge into first, and enduring, love.' Sophie Dahl 'Glorious and tender, evocative and heart nourishing.' Salena Godden

Dusím se ve vlastní šťávě o životě v novém domě na ostrově s novým manželem a dětmi Čte Vilma Cibulková Betty MacDonaldová se narodila jako Anne Elizabeth Campbell Bardová v roce 1908 v rodině důlního inženýra, početná rodina se proto často stěhovala (jedna z jejích sester Mary Bardová se později rovněž stala úspěšnou spisovatelkou). Jako devatenáctiletá se provdala za Roberta Eugene Hesketta, v následujících dvou letech se jim narodily dcery Anne „Anka“ a Joan „Janka“. V roce 1931 Betty MacDonaldová manžela opustila a vrátila se zpět ke své rodině do Seattlu. Zkušenosti z prvního manželství, které trávila na slepičí farmě blízko Port Townsend ve státě Washington, zúročila spisovatelka v prvním ze svých autobiografických románů Vejce a já (1945). V dalším období svého života se Betty MacDonaldová usadila v Seattlu, kde v době světové hospodářské krize vystřídala mnoho zaměstnání, o čemž se čtenáři mohou dočíst v románu Kdokoli může dělat cokoli (1950). V období 1937–1938, kdy onemocněla tuberkulózou, pobývala v plicním sanatoriu. Zážitky z tohoto krušného období zaznamenala v románu Morová rána (1948). V roce 1942 se autorka provdala za Donalda C. MacDonalda (1910–1975) a spolu s dcerami přesídlili na ostrov Vashon v blízkosti Seattlu. Život na ostrově se všemi jeho specifiky autorka vylíčila v knize Dusím se ve vlastní šťávě (1955). Z ostrova se MacDonaldovi odstěhovali v roce 1956, kdy koupili ranč v Kalifornii. Betty MacDonaldová zemřela na rakovinu v pouhých padesáti letech v roce 1958. Její humoristické romány (poslední tři jsou v českém překladu známé pod souborným názvem Co život dal a vzal) dodnes sklízejí neobyčejný úspěch, snad proto, že autorce se daří doslova nabíjet čtenáře nadějí, že žádná překážka není nepřekonatelná a žádná situace beznadějná. Úsměvná vyprávění americké autorky Betty MacDonaldové si získala oblibu svou bezprostředností a upřímností. Pod titulem Co život dal a vzal vyšly tři její práce - Kdokoli může dělat cokoli, Morová rána, Dusím se ve vlastní šťávě - navazující na její neméně populární knížku Vejce a já. MacDonaldová čerpá náměty výhradně z vlastního života, popisuje, co ji potkalo dobrého i zlého. Znovu přivádí k životu nesčetné množství lidí, s nimiž se setkala třeba jen letmo, nebo ať už její osudy ovlivnili významněji. K nejsilnějším a nejvýraznějším částem trilogie patří díl Morová rána, kdy vypráví o svém pobytu v tuberkulózním sanatoriu. Ať už ji však potkává cokoli, nikdy se beznadějně nepropadá do sebelítosti a pesimismu, vždy hledí kupředu s nadějí a vírou, že se vše dobře skončí. A právě pro tuto schopnost přenášet na čtenáře svou nezdolnou víru v člověka, který se nevzdává a svou činorodostí, elánem a dobrou náladou za všech okolností dokáže překonat všechny překážky, sklidila Betty MacDonaldová tak nevídaný úspěch, který uplývající čas v nejmenším neoslabil.

What is legacy, and how will I leave one? Betsy Armstrong asks herself this question after her forty-six-year-old mother dies with a list of regrets and her stepfather completely disinherits her. Alone, Betsy sets about building a life of no regrets: becoming a marathon runner and Ironman triathlete, quitting a cushy corporate job to lead a life of service, and overcoming a crippling fear of commitment to marry. Still, she''s always running from the grief she can''t escape. As Betsy''s forty-seventh birthday approaches, she finally confronts her losses and begins reflecting on the one thing she''d never considered: children. Inspired by a friend''s adoption, Betsy and her husband, Doug, choose that path but face daunting obstacles - a failed adoption, a Russian courtroom drama, and a medical crisis in a tiny Russian town seven time zones away from Moscow. As the outcome of the adoption waxes and wanes, Betsy is forced to make the biggest decision of her life: How far will she go to become a mother?

You know who your competitors are. You keep tabs on them regularly, and can list them calmly, along with their strengths and weaknesses. But your enemies are a whole other matter. They''re the haters and the doubters who said you''d never make it, the ones who stomped on your dreams. When you think about your enemies, you can''t stop the strong feelings rising up. In Choose Your Enemies Wisely, Patrick Bet-David, #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author, founder of Valuetainment, and host of The PBD Podcast, shows how to harness emotion to turbocharge your business, dominate this year, and grow for generations after. But first, you need to choose your enemies wisely. Bet-David has spent years perfecting the system that led to the knockout success of his own financial services company. Now, Bet-David shares the secret behind this system: his 12 Business Building Blocks, which will teach you how to seamlessly blend emotion and logic in your business plan. Both a practical document for achieving goals and the fuel needed to fire up yourself and your team, this plan goes beyond the ''how'' and digs deeper into the ''why'': not only how you''ll get funding, but why you need long-term vision; why you must build a culture that makes employees want to run through walls; why you have to know the enemy you''re out to prove wrong. Straightforward and simple, the steps in this book will lead you to move the levers that create exponential growth and lasting success. Read Choose Your Enemies Wisely if you are a visionary, dreamer, and big thinker. Where you are now in your business journey doesn''t matter. By following Bet-David''s plan, you will set up your business for sustainable success and accomplish your most audacious goals. In this gripping narrative, historian James P. Duffy chronicles the most ruthless combat of the Pacific War, a fight complicated by rampant tropical disease, violent rainstorms, and unforgiving terrain that punished both Axis and Allied forces alike. Drawing on primary sources, War at the End of the World fills in a crucial gap in the history of World War II while offering readers a narrative of the first rank.
