''Damien Lewis is both a meticulous historian and a born storyteller'' Lee ChildSAS Great Escapes Two recounts the hitherto untold stories of six of the most dramatic and daring escapes executed by the world''s most famous fighting force during WWII. From the very earliest SAS missions to the push into Nazi-occupied Europe, they cover some of the key figures in the Regiment, including its founder, David Stirling, plus other lesser-known heroes.With each story comes an edge-of-the-seat, rollercoaster ride in classic Damien Lewis fashion, as readers are plunged into the escapees'' experiences - sharing their most terrifying yet inspiring moments. These stunning accounts of survival beggar belief, revealing nerve-racking bluff and deception, knife-edge encounters with enemy hunter forces hellbent on wreaking vengeance and murder, but also incredible acts of mercy and kindness from those who risk all to help the escapees on their way. Each tale of breath-taking derring-do reveals how necessity really is the mother of all invention, as with every step and at every juncture these fugitives defied fate, snatching survival and freedom from the jaws of the enemy, and all the horrors that would have followed capture.Damien Lewis has worked closely with the families of those portrayed, accessing wartime diaries, letters, mission reports, interrogation transcripts and more, to relate how the men of the SAS crossed blazing deserts, evaded enemy hunter forces and escaped through hostile lands, battling against seemingly insurmountable odds. But most of all, these uplifting tales of endurance beyond measure showcase the triumph of the human spirit and the will to survive.''Damien Lewis paints a uniquely vivid picture of the wartime SAS. Packed with detail, this fresh and dynamic book brings us as close to its remarkable members as we are ever likely to get.'' Joshua Levine, author of Dunkirk''In these days when we are told to be scared of everything it is a relief to read of steely nerves and cold courage. Damien Lewis has collected examples of exactly these qualities from World War II and they are all thrillers, to be read with pleasure - and a bit of nostalgia!'' Frederick Forsyth''The fund of SAS escapes turns out to be too big for one book, and in Damien Lewis there is a writer of rare narrative gifts able to bring alive these epic stories for us today'' Mark Urban''An astonishing book: a collection of truly riveting stories of bravery, all brilliantly told. In terms of sheer drama and audacity, SAS: Great Escapes Two goes where no fiction writer would dare venture'' Alex Gerlis, author of Agent in the Shadows

Další z řady knížek Guy Gilberta se zabývá tématem rodiny. Patří mezi ty nejnovější, takže reflektuje aktuální situaci pohledu na rodinu, jak ji podnítil svými projevy a iniciativami papež František. Gilbert se v tomto smyslu ukazuje jako ten, kdo přesně pochopil Františkovy důrazy a ohledy. Ačkoli je Gilbert sám z velmi tradiční rodiny (15 sourozenců), jsou jeho názory na rodinu a související témata prosyceny realismem a zkušeností toho, o jak komplikovanou věc jde. Gilbert prochází několika hlavními okruhy – otázkou partnerství dvou lidí, kteří by měli být základem rodiny; rodičovstvím a vztahem k dětem; rolí prarodičů v rodině; otázkou homosexuality a jejich soužití; problémem předávání víry v rodině. Ve všech oblastech se projevuje jeho moudrý nadhled a nekonvenční přímočarost. Varuje před unáhlenými svatbami za každou cenu, připouští přijímání eucharistie u některých rozvedených a znovu sezdaných, uznává společný život homosexuálních párů atd. Pro Gilberta je rodina pokladnicí, z níž je možné čerpat mnoho zásadní síly pro život, ale o kterou je třeba se také pečlivě starat. Aniž by zlehčoval emoční rozměr věci, klade důraz na společnou práci všech zúčastněných, na trpělivost, obětavost, velkorysost. Guy Gilbert je známý francouzský kněz a vychovatel delikventní mládeže. Z knih vydaných nakladatelstvím Portál jmenujme např. Bratr vyvržených, Evangelium svatého lotra, Srdce v ohni, Ať se ti život povede!, Partnerství, Štěstí, Čas žít aj.

Officially, the world''s most elite special forces unit was dissolved at the end of the Second World War, and not reactivated until the 1950s. Among their last actions was a disastrous commando raid into occupied France in 1944, which ended in the capture,torture and execution of 31 soldiers.It can now be revealed that the SAS never was dissolved: it lived on, commanded personally by Churchill and hidden even from the British government. They were tasked with hunting through the ruins of the Reich for the SS commanders responsible for the murder of their comrades, including many who had escaped the failed justice of the Nuremberg trials. Along the way, they discovered before anyone else the full horror of Hitler''s regime, and the growing threat from Stalin''s Russia.Still studied by the SAS today and a central part of their founding myth, the story of the Nazi hunters is now told by bestselling author Damien Lewis.

No one can deny the enduring power of medieval myths and legends. Tales of King Arthur, Merlin, Robin Hood, Sir Lancelot, magic, dragons, giants, demons, and the Holy Grail are as fascinating for us today as they have ever been. However, the stories we have inherited from our medieval forebears have often been transformed by the embellishments and additions of later generations. In every century since the Middle Ages, stories have been re-imagined, re-told, and sometimes radically changed to suit the audience of the day. This book aims to transport the reader back to the age of the Plantagenets and re-tell these stories as they would have been understood at the time. It explores the stories in detail and looks at what they meant to people living then, how they were told and why they were important. Myths and Legends of the Medieval World provides a detailed account of medieval mythology in its original context. It offers a window into a medieval mind-set in which such things as angels, demons, visions, magic, holy relics, and other supernatural entities were an accepted reality. Explore some of the most puzzling and captivating mysteries of the Middle Ages. What lay behind the legend of the Holy Grail? How did people regard the perilous world of the medieval fairy? How did the medieval world view witchcraft? And what happened during the infamous trial of the Templars?These are all questions that Myths and Legends of the Medieval World sets out to answer.

Certified personal trainer Damien Joyner not only explodes the myth that growing older means growing weaker—he offers expert guidance and safe, simple, effective exercises to empower you to regain and maintain your strength and autonomy.I’m often asked the following question: “Do you train active agers any differently than their younger counterparts?” In short—I don’t. Their programming is based on their fitness level rather than their age, and just like their younger counterparts, they too possess the potential to move better or become stronger.Too often, society tells you: as you age, you''ll become frail. You''ll lose your mobility. It''s time to slow down. But at a time when nearly 50 million Americans are aged 65+, these assumptions are more harmful than ever—especially because they''re wrong.Joyner explains which exercises are the most important to prioritize for the movements you do every day—whether that’s standing up from a chair or getting groceries from the car into the cabinet. His exercises are:Straightforward, safe, effective, and evidence-basedClearly illustrated via helpful how-to photo guidesTailored to meet the concerns of active agers, like improving bone densityAppropriate for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of fitnessFor keeping fit and doing real-world, everyday tasks that help you stay active and engagedAs a fitness professional who specializes in training people who are 50+, Damien Joyner''s approach in Move for Life helps you build strength, increase flexibility, and work on your balance—all while dispelling any doubts you may have about your ability to stay active after midlife.

Two men were parachuted in, in an effort to break the deadlock. Their mission: to penetrate deep into enemy territory and lay waste to the Germans'' impregnable headquarters.At the eleventh hour mission commanders radioed for David ''The Mad Piper'' Kilpatrick to be flown in, resplendent in his tartan kilt. They wanted this fearless war hero to lead the assault, piping Highland Laddie as he went - so leaving an indelible British signature to deter Nazi reprisals.As the column of raiders formed up, there was shocking news. High command radioed through an order to stand down, having assessed the chances of success at little more than zero. But in defiance of orders, and come hell or high-water, they were going in.

A spectacular, vivid, groundbreaking work of history which takes us into the minds and lives of medieval women.What was life really like for women in the medieval period? How did they think about sex, death and God? Could they live independent lives? And how can we hear the stories of women from this period?Few women had the luxury of writing down their thoughts and feelings during medieval times. But remarkably, there are at least four extraordinary women who did. Those women were: Marie de France, a poet; Julian of Norwich, a mystic and anchoress; Christine de Pizan, a widow and court writer; and Margery Kempe, a "no-good wife". In their own ways these four very different writers pushed back against the misogyny of the period. Each of them broke new ground in womenâs writing and left us incredible insights into the world of medieval life and politics.Hetta Howes has spent her working life uncovering these womenâs stories to give us a valuable and unique historical biography of their lives that challenges what we hold to be common knowledge about medieval women in Europe. Women did earn money, they could live independent lives, and they thought, loved, fought and suffered just as we do today.This mesmerising book is an unforgettably lively and immersive journey into the everyday lives of medieval women through the stories of these four iconic women writers, some of which are retold here for general readers for the first time.

Kniha známého kněze a vychovatele delikventní mládeže přibližuje mimořádné důležité téma odpuštění, které je nejkrásnější cestou ke svobodě. Gilbert skrze svou bohatou zkušenost s lidmi z okraje společnosti, zločinci či vězni nijak nebagatelizuje zlo a příkoří, která se lidem dějí. Přesto potvrzuje, že jen cesta odpuštění vede k vnitřní vyrovnanosti, pokoji a radosti. Právě křesťané jsou pro něj ti, kteří mají ve společnosti neustále realizovat obtížný pokyn odpouštět, a to i tam, kde je to zdánlivě nemožné. Gilbert ukazuje, kde hledat zdroj síly k odpuštění, jak odpouštět v rodině, ve vztazích, jaké nástroje nabízí ve svátostech církev. Jak píše: „Kristus nikdy neřekl svým katům: ‚Odpouštím vám‘, ale: ‚Otče, odpusť jim.‘ Jen tak je totiž možné najít sílu k odpuštění. Nejde totiž o skutek naší vůle, je to akt lásky, který nám může vdechnout jen sám Bůh.“Guy Gilbert je francouzský kněz, v Portále vyšla celá řada jeho úspěšných knih, naposledy např. Rodina, Čas žít nebo Víra. K dispozici také jako audiokniha v e-shopu slyš.to (mp3 ke stažení)

A fascinating guide to decoding the secret language of the churches of England through the medieval carved markings and personal etchings found on our church walls from archaeologist Matthew Champion.''Rare, lovely glimmers of everyday life in the Middle Ages.'' -- The Sunday Times''A fascinating and enjoyable read'' -- ***** Reader review''Superb'' -- ***** Reader review''Riveting'' -- ***** Reader review''Compelling, moving and fascinating'' -- ***** Reader review*****************************************************************************************************Our churches are full of hidden messages from years gone by and for centuries these carved writings and artworks have lain largely unnoticed.Having launched a nationwide survey to gather the best examples, archaeologist Matthew Champion shines a spotlight on a forgotten world of ships, prayers for good fortune, satirical cartoons, charms, curses, windmills, word puzzles, architectural plans and heraldic designs.Here are strange medieval beasts, knights battling unseen dragons, ships sailing across lime-washed oceans and demons who stalk the walls. Latin prayers for the dead jostle with medieval curses, builders'' accounts and slanderous comments concerning a long-dead archdeacon.Strange and complex geometric designs, created to ward off the ''evil eye'' and thwart the works of the devil, share church pillars with the heraldic shields of England''s medieval nobility.Giving a voice to the secret graffiti artists of Medieval times, this engaging, enthralling and - at times - eye-opening book, with a glossary of key terms and a county-by-county directory of key churches, will put this often overlooked period in a whole new light.

Was medieval England full of knights on horseback rescuing fainting damsels in distress? Were the Middle Ages mired in superstition and ignorance? Why does nobody ever mention King Louis the First and Last? And, of course, those key questions: which monks were forbidden the delights of donning underpants... and did outlaws never wear trousers?Terry Jones and Alan Ereira are your guides to this most misrepresented and misunderstood period, and they point you to things that will surprise and provoke. Did you know, for example, that medieval people didn''t think the world was flat? That was a total fabrication by an American journalist in the 19th century. Did you know that they didn''t burn witches in the Middle Ages? That was a refinement of the so-called Renaissance. In fact, medieval kings weren''t necessarily merciless tyrants, and peasants entertained at home using French pottery and fine wine. Terry Jones'' Medieval Lives reveals Medieval Britain as you have never seen it before - a vibrant society teeming with individuality, intrigue and innovation.

SUNDAY TIMES''Uglow''s style is supremely elegant and often amusingly bathetic, her research exhaustive but lightly worn.'' FINANCIAL TIMESIn 1781, Gilbert White was a country curate, living in the Hampshire village he had known all his life. Fascinated by the fauna, flora and people around him, he kept journals for many years, and, at that time, was halfway to completing his path-breaking The Natural History of Selborne. No one had written like this before, with such close observation, humour, and sympathy: his spellbinding book has remained in print ever since, treasured by generations of readers. Jenny Uglow illuminates this quirky, warm-hearted man, ‘the father of ecology’, by following a single year in his Naturalist’s Journal. As his diary jumps from topic to topic, she accompanies Gilbert from frost to summer drought, from the migration of birds to the sex lives of snails and the coming of harvest.Fresh, alive and original – and packed with rich colour illustrations – A Year with Gilbert White invites us to see the natural world anew, with astonishment and wonder.

The Medieval World View, Third Edition, presents the presuppositions of medieval society in a systematic fashion by integrating brief, self-contained selections from primary texts and carefully captioned photographs into a narrative of the medieval world and its foundations. The text is divided into three parts. Treating both the classical and biblical antecedents of the Middle Ages and ending in Late Antiquity, Part One includes a thorough discussion of the monumental figure of St. Augustine. Part Two deals with the early Middle Ages, beginning with the disintegration of the Roman Empire and continuing through the German invasions and the renaissance associated with the reign of Charlemagne. Part Three examines the High Middle Ages and beyond, following developments in the Church, in politics, and in arts and culture from the twelfth century through the end of the fifteenth century. The third edition features two entirely new chapters, Chapter 5 on Byzantium and Chapter 6 on Islam. Handling sophisticated issues with great clarity and ease, The Medieval World View is ideal for courses in Medieval history, literature, or art history.

The essential introduction to the Middle Ages by the bestselling author of The Time Traveller''s Guide to Medieval EnglandWe tend to think of the Middle Ages as a dark, backward and unchanging time characterised by violence, ignorance and superstition. By contrast we believe progress arose from science and technological innovation, and that inventions of recent centuries created the modern world.We couldn''t be more wrong. As Ian Mortimer shows in this fascinating book, people''s horizons - their knowledge, experience and understanding of the world - expanded dramatically. Life was utterly transformed between 1000 and 1600, marking the transition from a warrior-led society to that of Shakespeare.Just as The Time Traveller''s Guide to Medieval England revealed what it was like to live in the fourteenth century, Medieval Horizons provides the perfect primer to the era as a whole. It outlines the enormous cultural changes that took place - from literacy to living standards, inequality and even the developing sense of self - thereby correcting misconceptions and presenting the period as a revolutionary age of fundamental importance in the development of the Western world.Praise for Ian Mortimer:''The endlessly inventive Ian Mortimer is the most remarkable medieval historian of our time'' - The Times

A SUNDAY TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR''A triumph'' Guardian''Glorious ... makes the past at once familiar, exotic and thrilling.'' Dominic Sandbrook''A brilliant book'' Mail on SundayJust like us, medieval men and women worried about growing old, got blisters and indigestion, fell in love and had children. And yet their lives were full of miraculous and richly metaphorical experiences radically different to our own, unfolding in a world where deadly wounds might be healed overnight by divine intervention, or the heart of a king, plucked from his corpse, could be held aloft as a powerful symbol of political rule.In this richly-illustrated and unusual history, Jack Hartnell uncovers the fascinating ways in which people thought about, explored and experienced their physical selves in the Middle Ages, from Constantinople to Cairo and Canterbury. Unfolding like a medieval pageant, and filled with saints, soldiers, caliphs, queens, monks and monstrous beasts, it throws light on the medieval body from head to toe - revealing the surprisingly sophisticated medical knowledge of the time in the process.Bringing together medicine, art, music, politics, philosophy and social history, there is no better guide to what life was really like for the men and women who lived and died in the Middle Ages.Medieval Bodies is published in association with Wellcome Collection.

Focusing on the village of Elton, in the English East Midlands, the Gieses detail the agricultural advances that made communal living possible, explain what domestic life was like for serf and lord alike, and describe the central role of the church in maintaining social harmony. Though the main focus is on Elton, c. 1300, the Gieses supply enlightening historical context on the origin, development, and decline of the European village, itself an invention of the Middle Ages.Meticulously researched, Life in a Medieval Village is a remarkable account that illustrates the captivating world of the Middle Ages and demonstrates what it was like to live during a fascinating—and often misunderstood—era.

This teaching anthology collects texts from the vast archive of medieval Arthurian literature. It includes selections from mainstream canonical authors, such as Geoffrey of Monmouth and Sir Thomas Malory, and more peripheral works, such as the Melech Artus (a twelfth-century Hebrew text) and the Dutch Morien (featuring a black knight). In this it differs from other anthologies of medieval Arthuriana: it is more inclusive and diverse than previous collections. Characters and authors showcase the diversity of race, religion, gender, and gender orientation of the Arthurian tradition. As well, this anthology and its accompanying website include a variety of genres, ranging from visual art to sculpture, from historical chronicles to romance and drama. Arthurian works, while concentrated in England, France, and Wales, are found across medieval Europe; this anthology therefore includes texts from Iceland to Greece. The Broadview Anthology of Medieval Arthurian Literature is ideally suited to teaching: it includes full texts, such as Chrétien de Troyes’s Knight of the Cart, Chaucer’s “Wife of Bath’s Tale,” and the anonymous Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, for classes that wish to study a whole work in depth; it also includes shorter excerpts of parallel incidents, such as the Uther and Igraine story, so that students can compare a story’s treatment by different authors. Marginal glosses assist students with the Middle English texts, while introductory notes and explanatory footnotes give students necessary background information.

Knížka známého duchovního autora je uvedena otázkou: „Co opravdu je pro člověka štěstí? Radost? Potěšení? Pocit bezpečí? Zdraví? Bohatství? Toto všechno dohromady?“ Guy Gilbert ukazuje podmínky, v nichž může každý dospět k pocitu štěstí, sděluje, jak otevírat srdce, nepožadovat nemožné, pěstovat pozitivní myšlení, vytvářet pouta s ostatními, žít současným okamžikem a nacházet drobné radosti právě v něm, umět se radovat z darů i z dávání a třeba i z obyčejného prožitku samoty v klidu uprostřed přírody.

Ve své nové knize se Guy Gilbert zamýšlí nad fenoménem samoty. Ta pro něj není omezena jen na fyzickou nepřítomnost jiných lidí v nejbližším okolí. Mluví i o pocitu osamělosti uprostřed davu, o vyloučení – ať už sociálním, nebo fyzickém, daném hendikepem –, o samotě starých lidí, o samotě po rozvodu nebo smrti blízkého člověka, o samotě chudých, cizinců či sebevrahů. Nabízí ovšem i cesty ze samoty skrze službu druhým, odpuštění, pokoru, sílu modlitby, a v neposlední řadě se obrací i na prarodiče, často trpící pocitem samoty, a ukazuje jim jejich výjimečný úkol v rámci rodiny a společnosti.
