''The decision to publish this book has been very difficult, and taken with heavy hearts ... My reason for writing it is simple: to give an account of the truth ... Writing this memoir has entailed recording some very personal, intimate and emotional aspects of our lives. Sharing these with strangers does not come easily to me, but if I hadn''t done so I would not have felt the book gave as full a picture as it is possible for me to give. As with every action we have taken over the last five years, it ultimately boils down to whether what we are doing could help us to find Madeleine. When the answer to that question is yes, or even possibly, our family can cope with anything ... Nothing is more important to us than finding our little girl.''Kate McCann

Madeleine Albrightové nebylo ještě ani dvanáct, a už na vlastní oči viděla několik dějinných dramat — nacistickou okupaci rodného Československa, bombardování Londýna, kam se její rodina uchýlila do exilu, vítězství Spojenců ve druhé světové válce, vzestup komunismu a počátek studené války. V Pražské zimě nyní Madeleine Albrightová líčí právě těch bouřlivých dvanáct let. Vychází přitom z někdejších dětských zážitků i ze své politické a akademické erudice, mísí rodinné vzpomínky a písemné dokumenty se záznamy aktérů tehdejšího dění a předkládá čtenářům působivou dějinnou fresku i niterné svědectví. Tyto dva póly jejího vyprávění se neustále doplňují i svářejí: autorka zkoumá minulost z hlediska nadčasových dilemat a zároveň vypráví velice osobní příběh s univerzálním dopadem. Kniha zavede čtenáře z Pražského hradu do londýnských protileteckých krytů, z bezútěšného terezínského ghetta na zasedání předních světových státníků; Madeleine Albrightová se tu zamýšlí nad svým židovským původem, o němž se dozvěděla až ve zralém věku, rozebírá komplikovanou českou historii i nelehká mravní rozhodnutí, s nimiž se musela vyrovnávat generace jejích rodičů. Na základě svědectví současníků ukazuje, jak byly miliony obyčejných lidí vytrženy z rodinného prostředí a ocitly se v rolích exilových vůdců, odbojářů i kolaborantů, obětí i vrahů. Tyto nesmírně složité dějinné události jsou přitom utvářeny pojmy, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

And there, spinning unafraid among them, dancing for the soldiers and anyone else who''ll watch him, is one small pale boy, Rudolf. This is Colum McCann''s dancer: Rudolf, a prodigy at six years old, who became the greatest dancer of the century, who redefined dance, rewrote his own life, and died of AIDS before anyone knew he had it. This is an extraordinary life transformed into extraordinary fiction by one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation.

Fašista je podle autorky ten, „kdo tvrdí, že mluví jménem celého národa nebo skupiny obyvatel, naprosto ho nezajímají práva ostatních a je ochoten použít k dosažení svých cílů násilí a veškeré další nezbytné prostředky“. V takto širokém pojetí pak pod pojem fašismus autorka zahrnuje i další totalitní hnutí a ideologie. Téměř celé 20. století probíhalo ve znamení střetu demokracie s fašismem, jehož obětí se staly desítky milionů lidí. Po hrůzách druhé světové války se zdálo, že svět už nepřipustí, aby se duchovní dědicové Hitlera a Mussoliniho pokusili o návrat. Madeleine Albrightová vychází ze své dvojí zkušenosti dítěte, jehož život válka silně poznamenala, i výrazné osobnosti světové politiky, jíž se stala během své úctyhodné diplomatické kariéry, a tento optimistický předpoklad zpochybňuje. Dokazuje, že fašismus nejen že přežil 20. století, ale v současnosti představuje daleko vážnější hrozbu pro mír a spravedlnost než kdykoli po roce 1945. Kyvadlo dějin směřující po pádu Berlínské zdi k demokracii se vydává opačným směrem. V čele USA, nejvýznamnější opory svobodného světa, stanul člověk, který rozděluje společnost a otevřeně pohrdá demokratickými institucemi.

The #1 NYT BESTSELLERA personal and urgent examination of Fascism in the twentieth century and how its legacy shapes today’s world, written by one of America’s most admired public servants, the first woman to serve as U.S. secretary of state.“There is priceless wisdom on every page.” Kirkus Starred reviewA Fascist, observes Madeleine Albright, ‘is someone who claims to speak for a whole nation or group, is utterly unconcerned with the rights of others, and is willing to use violence and whatever other means are necessary to achieve the goals he or she might have.’The twentieth century was defined by the clash between democracy and Fascism, a struggle that created uncertainty about the survival of human freedom and left millions of innocent people dead. Given the horrors of that experience, one might expect the world to reject the spiritual successors to Hitler and Mussolini should they arise in our era. In Fascism: A Warning, Madeleine Albright, draws on her own experiences as a child in war-torn Europe and her distinguished career as a diplomat to question that very assumption.Fascism, as Albright shows, not only endured through the course of the twentieth century, but now presents a more virulent threat to international ...

‘A masterly work of profound research and reflection, objective and humane’ Hugh Trevor-Roper, Sunday TelegraphWhat would have happened if the Nazis had invaded Britain? How would the British people have responded – with resistance or collaboration? In Madeleine Bunting’s pioneering study, we begin to find the answers to this age-old question.Though rarely remembered today, the Nazis occupied the British Channel Islands for much of the Second World War. In piecing together the fragments left behind – from the love affairs between island women and German soldiers, the betrayals and black marketeering, to the individual acts of resistance – Madeleine Bunting has brought this uncomfortable episode of British history into full view with spellbinding clarity.

In 1917—that is, in the midst of the First World War—Madeleine Z. Doty, a feminist, lawyer, prison reformer, peace activist, and journalist, was commissioned by the magazine Good Housekeeping to travel "around the world" to get a view “behind the battle line” of how people on the home front, especially women, were responding to the war. Traveling on the Trans-Siberian Railway from China, Doty crossed the border into Russia just days after the Bolshevik Revolution had begun. She meant it literally when she declared in her account of these travels, Behind the Battle Line: Around the World in 1918: “The Bolshevik Revolution had descended on me.”

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Madeleine Blais, the dramatic and colorful story of legendary tennis star and international celebrity, Alice MarbleIn August 1939, Alice Marble graced the cover of Life magazine, photographed by the famed Alfred Eisenstaedt. She was a glamorous worldwide celebrity, having that year won singles, womenÂ’s doubles, and mixed doubles tennis titles at both Wimbledon and the US Open, then an unprecedented feat. Yet today one of AmericaÂ’s greatest female athletes and most charismatic characters is largely forgotten. Queen of the Court places her back on center stage.Born in 1913, Marble grew up in San Francisco; her favorite sport, baseball. Given a tennis racket at age 13, she took to the sport immediately, rising to the top with a powerful, aggressive serve-and-volley style unseen in womenÂ’s tennis. A champion at the height of her fame in the late 1930s, she also designed a clothing line in the off-season and sang as a performer in the Sert Room of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York to rave reviews.

Apeirogon je kniha o síle příběhu. Dozvíme se v ní o poslední večeři Françoise Miterranda, o ptácích i amatérských archeolozích, ale hlavní pozornost je upřena na dva muže, Ramiho a Bassama, a jejich osudy, jež se odvíjejí z opačných stran Zdi, ale nakonec se spojí. Colum McCann vypráví pravdivý příběh dvou otců, kteří přišli o dcery, dvou přátel usilujících o to samé, ačkoli jeden je Izraelec a druhý Palestinec. Všechny linie vyprávění vzájemně souvisejí, komunikují spolu a proplétají se, napříč staletími i kontinenty, jako Příběhy tisíce a jedné noci. Apeirogon je příběh lidství. Nenávisti, lásky a naděje. "Apeirogon Columa McCanna se nepodobá ničemu, co jste až dosud četli. Je to, jako když poprvé čtete Atlas mraků Davida Mitchella, Autobiografii Rudé Ann Carsonové nebo Lincolna v bardu George Saunderse. Jako když objevíte zcela nový a hluboce pravdivý žánr. Budete mít pocit, že samotná definice románu, toho, čím může být a co může obsahovat, byla jednou provždy rozšířena."

In a radical new story about the birth of our species, The Origin of Language argues that it was not hunting, fighting, or tool-making that forced early humans to speak, but the inescapable need to care for our children. Journeying to the dawn of Homo sapiens, evolutionary biologist Madeleine Beekman reveals the “happy accidents” hidden in our molecular biology—DNA, chromosomes, and proteins—that led to one of the most fateful events in the history of life on Earth: our giving birth to babies earlier in their development than our hominid cousins the Neanderthals and Denisovans. Faced with highly dependent infants requiring years of nurturing and protection, early human communities needed to cooperate and coordinate, and it was this unprecedented need for communication that triggered the creation of human language—and changed everything. Infused with cutting-edge science, sharp humour, and insights into the history of biology and its luminaries, Beekman weaves a narrative that’s both enlightening and entertaining. Challenging the traditional theories of male luminaries like Chomksy, Pinker, and Harari, she invites us into the intricate world of molecular biology and its ancient secrets. The Origin of Language is a tour de force by a brilliant biologist on how a culture of cooperation ... Unknown localization key: "more"
