Brooklyn, konec 60. let. Starý svérázný jáhen jednoho dne nakráčí před místního dealera, kterého ještě nedávno učil hrát baseball, a postřelí ho.

Sociální problémy, rasismus a nepokoje jsou spíše pozadím živelného příběhu, který postupně nabírá parametry pátrání ve stylu Indiana Jonese. Americký klasik James McBride, jenž vychází v češtině vůbec poprvé, zde ukazuje jak mistrovské vypravěčské schopnosti, tak svou trvalou víru v lidstvo. Jáhen King Kong voní atmosférou New Yorku a jazzu, potěší milovníky gangsterek a podivínských hrdinů a je povzbudivou zprávou o tom, že láska a víra žije i v tom nejposlednějším darebákovi.

From the author of THE HEAVEN EARTH GROCERY STORE...A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER and OPRAH S BOOK CLUB PICKChosen by BARACK OBAMA as a favourite readTOP TEN books of the year, NEW YORK TIMES WASHINGTON POSTNATIONAL BOOK AWARD winning author Brilliantly imagined, larger than life, a tragicomedic epic. JOYCE CAROL OATES Deeply felt, beautifully written and profoundly humane. JUNOT DIAZ Among the greatest American storytellers of our time. BOOKPAGE A modern day Mark Twain NYT Book ReviewThe year is 1969. In a housing project in south Brooklyn, a shambling old church deacon called Sportcoat shoots - for no apparent reason - the local drug-dealer who used to be part of the church s baseball team. The repercussions of that moment draw in the whole community, from Sportcoat s best friend - Hot Sausage - to the local Italian mobsters, the police (corrupt and otherwise), and the stalwart ladies of the Five Ends Baptist Church.DEACON KING KONG is a book about a community under threat, about the ways people pull together in an age when the old rules are being rewritten. It is very funny in places, and heartbreaking in others. From a prize-winning storyteller, this New York Times bestseller shows us that not all secrets are meant to be hidden, and that the communities we build are fragile but vital.______________________ When I met James McBride, I felt like I d had coffee with a hysterically funny Leo Tolstoy Ethan Hawke A hilarious, pitch-perfect comedy set in the Brooklyn projects of the late 1960s. This alone may qualify it as one of the year s best novels. The Washington PostWhat Goodreads readers are saying:***** Deacon King Kong is one of those novels whose brilliance sneaks up on you. I haven t been this pleasantly surprised by a book in a while. ***** I do believe I just finished one of my all time favorite books. I loved every minute spent with Sportcoat and his community. A good old fashioned yarn shot through with truth, spirit, and humor. I LOVED it! ***** This book was a balm for my soul, a portrait of a black church community circa 1969 with sweet characters (well, most of them), interconnections that stretch back decades, and a plot with more than one mystery at its heart. ***** Deacon has the texture of folk lore and fable mixed with the unexpected rhythms of jazz and the noisy streets of late 1960s Brooklyn. ***** The ending was one of those where you clutch your heart and want to hug the book (or your Kindle).

The story of the 51st (Highland) Division during 1939 and 1940 is a short and largely tragic one and although it firmly burnt itself into the minds of Scotsmen it has never been granted the recognition it deserves. Even in Scotland it is often forgotten that the men, and attached troops, of the 51st Division, were fighting for survival in Normandy for some ten days after the evacuation from Dunkerque had been completed. Most present-day accounts of the Second World War in 1939/40 deal with the â ˜Phoney Warâ ™ and the evacuation from Dunkerque but few mention the rearguard action at St Valery-en-Caux, other than a giving it a passing mention. Nevertheless, the action of the 51st Division against the might of German forces won the admiration of General Erwin Rommel and Charles De Gaulle, who fought against and alongside them. One of the enduring beliefs is that Churchill deliberately sacrificed the 51st Division in an attempt to keep France in the war; this, apart from being palpably incorrect, fails miserably to address the intricacy of the circumstances that overtook the 51st Division after they returned from the Saar. In a situation where units were repeatedly changing affiliation, communication between the French Supreme Command and British forces suffered language difficulties and the inclination to blame each other for the debacle that inevitably ensued. Nevertheless, for all the criticism that is thrown at the French Army, it is clear that a number of French units fought hard and with great courage, the main fault with the French command lying with poor leadership and lack of tactical planning. As far as the Highlanders were concerned it was bad luck that their term of duty on the Saar coincided with the beginning of Fall Rot. The speed and extent of the German advance from Abbeville took their own High Command and the French by surprise and it was with little wonder that Allied military thinking failed to keep up with actions on the battlefield. The theory that Churchill sacrificed the division to keep the French in the war owes a great deal to the Scottish need to attribute all the misery of the world to one scoundrel, a trait that exists to this day!Supported by eleven maps and over 150 photographs, the book traces the history of the 51st Division from its inception until its final surrender at St Valery-en-Caux and deals with the fighting on the Saar and the often ragged skirmishing though Normandy. The book also touches on the actions of the 1st Armoured Division and the Battle of Abbeville. There are three walks and a car tour included in this volume which allows the battlefield visitor to base themselves firstly in Abbeville and, secondly, further into Normandy.

Tat* is a bit of a graphic designer s curse. Walk into any design studio and you will see tat pinned to the walls or placed with loving care on top of a computer screen. Even the purist will have a secret cache hidden away somewhere.Andy Altmann began collecting tat while he was on his Foundation course, getting ready for an interview at St Martins School of Art. He d been asked to present a sketchbook, but worried that he couldn t draw very well, he decided to start a scrapbook: I rummaged through the drawers at home and found some football cards from the late 1960s and early 70s (plenty of Georgie Best), an instruction leaflet from an old Hoover, Christmas cracker jokes, and so on. Then I started on the magazines, cutting out images of anything that interested me. And finally I took myself off to the college library, where I photocopied things from books before reaching for the scissors and glue. It was the beginning of a significant collecting habit.So what it is that makes a piece of graphic tat interesting? Is it the retro thing - a fascination with a bygone age, the primitive printing techniques, the naivety of the design, or the use of colour? All of the above, of course, but it s not quite that simple. Occasionally people offer me something they ve found that they think I might like , says Andy. But usually they re wrong - it doesn t excite me at all. The magic is missing. To a graphic designer, most the content of this book can safely be regarded as bad design. But there is some magic in each and every piece that has made Andy either pick it up off the street, trail through online links, or enter some dodgy looking shop on the other side of the world just to snap it up. Here you ll find everything from sweet wrappers to flash cards, from soap powder boxes to speedway flyers, from wrestling programmes to bus tickets. More tat than you can shake a stick at. Taken together, it represents a lifetime of gleeful hunting and gathering.* tat (noun) - anything that looks cheap, is of low quality, or in bad condition; junk, rubbish, debris, detritus, crap, shite

With an Introduction and Notes by Martin Scofield, University of Kent at Canterbury. Henry James was arguably the greatest practitioner of what has been called the psychological ghost story. His stories explore the region which lies between the supernatural or straightforwardly marvellous and the darker areas of the human psyche.This edition includes all ten of his ghost stories, and as such is the fullest collection currently available. The stories range widely in tone and type. They include The Jolly Corner , a compelling story of psychological doubling; Owen Wingrave , which is also a subtle parable of military tradition; The Friends of the Friends , a strange story of uncanny love; and The Private Life , which finds a shrewd, high comedy in its ghostly theme.The volume also includes James s great novella The Turn of the Screw, perhaps the most ambiguous and disturbing ghost story ever written.

“A brave, powerful memoir” (People) that will change the way we look at identity and equality in this country, from the activist elected as the first openly transgender member of Congress in U.S. history“The energy and vigor Sarah has brought to the fight for equality is ever present in this book.”—Vice President Kamala Harris “If you’re living your own internal struggle, this book can help you find a way to live authentically, fully, and freely. . . . Let it show that we are all created equal and entitled to be treated with dignity and respect.”—President Joe Biden, from the forewordBefore she became the first transgender person to speak at a national political convention in 2016 at the age of twenty-six, Sarah McBride struggled with the decision to come out—not just to her family but to the students of American University, where she was serving as student body president. She’d known she was a girl from her earliest memories, but it wasn’t until the Facebook post announcing her truth went viral that she realized just how much impact her story could have on the country.Four years later, McBride was one of the nation’s most prominent transgender activists, walking the halls of the White House, advocating inclusive legislation, and addressing the country in the midst of a heated presidential election. She had also found her first love and future husband, Andy, a trans man and fellow activist, who complemented her in every way . . . until cancer tragically intervened.Informative, heartbreaking, and profoundly empowering, Tomorrow Will Be Different is McBride’s story of love and loss and a powerful entry point into the LGBTQ community’s battle for equal rights and what it means to be openly transgender. From issues like bathroom access to health care to gender in America, McBride weaves the important political and cultural milestones into a personal journey that will open hearts and change minds.As McBride urges: “We must never be a country that says there’s only one way to love, only one way to look, and only one way to live.”The fight for equality and freedom has only just begun.
