Beautiful and complex Annie Proulx A writer of exceptional gifts Louise Kennedy O Grady strikes a beautiful note Kevin BarryMoving from West Belfast and County Monaghan to the streets of San Francisco, Timothy Oâ ™Gradyâ ™s exhilarating new novel is an epic portrait of art and war, authenticity and selling out, told through the fates of three men. Ronan Treanor, Monaghan native and teller of this tale, is a celebrated theorist of postmodern architecture in New York. Paul Crane, single son of a hotel maid in Indiana, turns his mathematical gift into a multimillion-dollar career as an investment banker. And the mysterious Ryan, who drew as a boy in besieged West Belfast, but was swept up in the war against the British and lived a decade of extreme and escalating violence as a sniper. Through him, the war in Ireland and its psychic legacy are brought into close focus in a way rarely seen in contemporary fiction. Their lives merge and conflict, rise and fall, as one man becomes the undoing of the next. Hauntingly beautiful, lyrical and profound, this is a novel about love and destruction, and what happens when you cannot escape your past. Featuring drawings and paintings by Anthony Lott. Oâ ™Grady evokes place, the latent violence of Ireland in the 1980s and its psychic displacements. The prose is mesmerising Una Mannion, author of Tell Me What I Am Monaghan reveals the legacy of violence and political division in a gripping narrative and a precise and original voice Erica Wagner, literary critic Monaghan is written with an intensity that is remarkable in contemporary fiction . . .

A cutting-edge investigation of how Russia makes war.Russian strategy in the twenty-first century has been described in terms of hybrid warfare, an approach characterised by measures short of war, such as cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns. But as the invasion of Ukraine has brutally demonstrated, conventional armed violence remains a key element of Russian power. In Blitzkrieg and the Russian art of war, Andrew Monaghan offers a high-level view of Russian thinking about warfare. Drawing on extensive Russian sources, he addresses important questions that have been overlooked by most Western commentators: what is the military leadership s distinctive idea of twenty-first-century blitzkrieg? How does it understand holistic territorial defence? How does it manage the shifting balance between offence and defence? Introducing key concepts from Russian military thinking, Blitzkrieg and the Russian art of war is a crucial resource for understanding Russia s resurgent role on the global stage and the devastating threat the country poses to the international order.

But Thrawnâ ™s origins and the story of his rise in the Imperial ranks have remained mysterious. Now, in Star Wars: Thrawn, Timothy Zahn chronicles the fateful events that launched the blue-skinned, red-eyed master of military strategy and lethal warfare into the highest realms of powerâ ”and infamy. After Thrawn is rescued from exile by Imperial soldiers, his deadly ingenuity and keen tactical abilities swiftly capture the attention of Emperor Palpatine. And just as quickly, Thrawn proves to be as indispensable to the Empire as he is ambitious; as devoted as its most loyal servant, Anakin Skywalker; and a brilliant warrior never to be underestimated. On missions to rout smugglers, snare spies, and defeat pirates, he triumphs time and againâ ”even as his renegade methods infuriate superiors while inspiring ever greater admiration from the Empire. As one promotion follows another in his rapid ascension to greater power, he schools his trusted aide, ensign Eli Vanto, in the arts of combat, leadership, and the secrets of claiming victory. But even though Thrawn dominates the battlefield, he has much to learn in the arena of politics where ruthless administrator Arihnda Pryce holds the power to be a potent ally or a brutal enemy.All these lessons will be put to the ultimate test when Thrawn rises to admiralâ ”and must pit all the knowledge, instincts, and battle forces at his command against an insurgent uprising that threatens not only innocent lives but also the Empireâ ™s grip on the galaxyâ ”and his own carefully laid plans for future ascendency.

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2015 SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE We have come to see the Holocaust as a factory of death, organised by bureaucrats. Yet by the time the gas chambers became operation more than a million European Jews were already dead: shot at close range over pits and ravines. They had been murdered in the lawless killing zones created by the German colonial war in the East, many on the fertile black earth that the Nazis believed would feed the German people.It comforts us to believe that the Holocaust was a unique event. But as Timothy Snyder shows, we have missed basic lessons of the history of the Holocaust, and some of our beliefs are frighteningly close to the ecological panic that Hitler expressed in the 1920s. As ideological and environmental challenges to the world order mount, our societies might be more vulnerable than we would like to think.Timothy Snyderâ ™s Bloodlands was an acclaimed exploration of what happened in eastern Europe between 1933 and 1945, when Nazi and Soviet policy brought death to some 14 million people. Black Earth is a deep exploration of the ideas and politics that enabled the worst of these policies, the Nazi extermination of the Jews. Its pioneering treatment of this unprecedented crime makes the Holocaust intelligible, and thus all the more terrifying.

Described by Billie Jean King as her tennis bible , Timothy Gallwey s international bestseller has been essential reading for players of all abilities since it was first published in 1974. With a new foreword from Bill Gates.Instead of concentrating on how to improve your technique, Timothy Gallwey starts from the understanding that every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game .

It is often won or lost before a ball has been hit.In his revolutionary approach, built on a foundation of Zen thinking and humanistic psychology, Gallwey will teach you how to trust the intuitive wisdom of your body and achieve a state of ‘relaxed concentration’. With lessons on gamesmanship and breaking bad habits, it is no surprise that Gallwey’s method has had a far-reaching impact both on and off the tennis court. Whether you want to win at tennis, write a novel, get ahead at work, or simply unwind after a stressful day, Gallwey shows you how to tap into your utmost potential.No matter your goals, The Inner Game of Tennis gives you the definitive framework for long-term success.

The interpretation of certain key texts in the Bible by two Dominican Friars: the celebrated author Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe and Biblical scholar Lukasz Popko.Many today may see the relationship between God and humanity as one of passive submission and thus unquestioning. Two outstanding Dominicans, Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe and Lukasz Popko suggest otherwise. Questioning God explores Biblical conversations with God and there is no genuine conversation without true questions. Our God question us, from the first conversation of God and humanity in the Bible, where God asks Adam, â ˜Where are you?â ™, to the Risen Lordâ ™s questioning Peter on the beach: â ˜Do you love me more than these others?â ™ But humanity questions God too, as in the audacious questioning of Jesus by the Samaritan woman at the well. In this process of mutual questioning, humanity is drawn ever deeper into the life of God, the eternal conversation of the Trinity. Insights into these transformative conversations are helpful as the Church questions how to be faithful to God in this uncertain time. Fr Popko offers a fresh translation and insights of Biblical scholarship, and Cardinal Radcliffe extends his rich experience as a preacher, theologian, and an inspiring commentator.

Conan si díky svým odvážným kouskům vysloužil jméno ve všech hospodách a temných uličkách Města zlodějů. Avšak i sláva má svou cenu: Conan je přistižen při laškování se ženou smírčího soudce a stává se uprchlíkem, jemuž jsou náhle v patách jak lidští, tak i nadpřirození pronásledovatelé. Conanova dobrodružství ve Městě zlodějů pokračují a vyprávění se ujímají tři z těch nejlepších komiksových scenáristů společně s výtvarníky Carym Nordem a Davem Stewartem. Vysílají neohroženého Cimeřana přímo do náruče Gundeřanových lučištníků i nebezpečných svůdkyň, stejně jako do nitra hrůzných rozvalin plných živoucích mrtvol a protivníků daleko příšernějších, než jaké kdy poznal. Kniha obsahuje poslední příběh Kurta Busieka a dále adaptaci jedné z legendárních Howardových „ztracených“ povídek „Síně mrtvých“, ve které Mike Mignola, tvůrce Hellboye, staví Conana proti bizarním netvorům v rozvalinách jednoho polozapomenutého města.

Jedna z nejznámějších Howardových povídek o Cimeřanu Conanovi s názvem „Darebáci v domě“ vyšla poprvé v časopise Weird Tales v lednu roku 1934. Scenárista Timothy Truman a výtvarníci Cary Nord a Tomás Giorello nyní spojili své síly, aby vám převyprávěli příběh o setkání neohroženého barbara a Rudého kněze tak, jak jste ho ještě nikdy nečetli. Conan se ocitá zcela bez prostředků v městské věznici, kde čeká na šibenici. Mladý šlechtic Murilo mu ale nabídne obchod – život výměnou za zabití jeho záludného politického protivníka, Rudého kněze Nabonida. Avšak celý plán se vzápětí zvrtne, když se Conan s Murilem ocitnou polapeni v podzemím labyrintu knězova domu, kde musejí společně překonat nejednu smrtící past, zatímco je jim v patách záhadný krvelačný netvor. Hned v první povídce „Krysí doupě“ se setkáme s dalším z Howardových hrdinů – námořníkem Stevem Costiganem a jeho věrným psem. Povídky o něm, stejně jako další Howardovy příběhy ze sportovního prostředí, v češtině bohužel nikdy nevyšly.

Kniha je jedinečnou a přesvědčivou studií historického vývoje etnických národů založeného na jazyce a identitě. Týká se čtyř východoevropských zemí. Timothy Snyder tvrdí, že Tématy této knihy jsou transformace národních idejí, příčiny etnických čistek a podmínky národního smíření”. Tato témata Snyder vysvětluje tak, že líčí složitě propletené příběhy Polska, Ukrajiny, Litvy a Běloruska a jejich společné kořeny v raně moderním státě: Polsko-litevské unii (1569-1795), kde základy politické identity tkvěly ve sdílené kultuře a občanských právech. Kdy a jak vznikají moderní národy? Proč dochází k etnickým čistkám? Jak mohou národní státy nastolit mír? Tyto a mnohé další otázky si klade kniha Timothyho Snydera Obnova národů a pokouší se na ně opovědět na příkladu někdejší Polsko-litevské unie. Ta vznikla v roce 1569, kdy slovo národ znamenalo něco podstatně jiného než dnes. V Polsko-litevské unii se hovořilo různými jazyky, vládla tam náboženská tolerance, fungoval tam parlament. Vytvořila však - anebo trvale uchovala - také jazyky, náboženství a mýty, které dnes vnímáme jako ukrajinské, běloruské či ruské. Autor nás provádí staletími a událostmi, mnohdy strašlivými a krutými, plnými nenávisti, aby na konci druhého tisíciletí dospěl k branám jiného nadstátního útvaru: Evropské unie.

Charles Spurgeon se přátelil se šlechtici i žebráky a jeho slova promlouvala k bohatým i chudým. Získal si pověst vynikajícího řečníka, kterého si údajně přišla poslechnout i anglická královna Viktorie.Pro Charlese to byla samozřejmě velká pocta, ale za mnohem důležitějšího považoval Krále králů – Ježíše Krista, v něhož uvěřil, když se chtěl jednoho nedělního rána schovat před sněhovou bouří. Tehdy se jako mrzutý student střední školy nenápadně vkradl do jedné venkovské kaple, usedl do zadní lavice a při pohledu na starého vrásčitého pána za kazatelnou čekal zoufale nudný projev. Netušil, že on sám za chvíli udělá nejdůležitější rozhodnutí svého života. Když totiž zaslechl slova z knihy proroka Izajáše: „Obraťte se ke mně a zachraňte se, všechny končiny země!“, došlo mu, že přesně po tom touží: po Bohu, který může jeho život zachránit a dokonale proměnit.Christian Timothy George je kurátorem Spurgeonovy knihovny a docentem historické teologie na semináři Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary v Kansas City ve státě Missouri.

A powerful and revelatory history book about the bloodlands - the lands that lie between Stalin s Russia and Hitler s Germany - where 14 million people were killed during the years 1933 - 1944.In the middle of Europe, in the middle of the twentieth century, the Nazi and Soviet regimes murdered fourteen million people in the bloodlands between Berlin and Moscow. In a twelve-year-period, in these killing fields - today s Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Western Russia and the eastern Baltic coast - an average of more than one million citizens were slaughtered every year, as a result of deliberate policies unrelated to combat. In this book Timothy Snyder offers a ground-breaking investigation into the motives and methods of Stalin and Hitler and, using scholarly literature and primary sources, pays special attention to the testimony of the victims, including the letters home, the notes flung from trains, the diaries on corpses. The result is a brilliantly researched, profoundly humane, authoritative and original book that forces us to re-examine one of the greatest tragedies in European history and re-think our past.

Zásadní příčinou současných politických krizí v západních demokraciích je mylné chápání svobody. Svoboda je pojímána negativně, jako absence státní moci: Svobodní si připadáme tehdy, když můžeme říkat a dělat, cokoli se nám zachce, a vyhnout se vlivu vlády. Skutečná svoboda má však pozitivní charakter, je to svoboda pro něco: Svoboda rozvíjet se a společně sázet na budoucnost. Svoboda je hodnota, jež umožňuje existenci všech ostatních hodnot.Timothy Snyder ve své nové knize rozvíjí myšlenky F. Fanona, V. Havla, L. Kołakowského, E. Steinové a S. Weilové. Kniha se snaží především odpovědět na otázku: Jaké postoje a praktické kroky nám dovolí zformovat typ státu, ve kterém budeme vzkvétat my i budoucí generace?Snyderův výklad nás učí vážit si významu tradic, jež hájí pravice, ale i role státních institucí prosazovaných levicí, a rýsuje cestu k novému politickému konsenzu. Kniha je brilantním ohledáním tématu svobody v současném světě.

Brought to you by Penguin. A brilliant exploration of freedom – what it is, how it’s been misunderstood, and why it’s our only chance for survival – by the acclaimed, bestselling author of On Tyranny. Timothy Snyder has been called ‘the leading interpreter of our dark times’. As a historian, he has given us startling reinterpretations of political collapse and mass killing. As a public intellectual, he has turned that knowledge toward counsel and prediction, working against authoritarians. His book On Tyranny has inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom. Freedom is the great American commitment, but as Snyder argues, we have lost sight of what it means – and this is leading us into crisis. Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power: We think we re free if we can do and say as we please, and protect ourselves from government overreach. But true freedom isn’t so much freedom from, as freedom to – the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible. Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers, and his own experiences, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes – the habits of mind – that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish. We come to appreciate the importance of traditions but also the role of institutions. Intimate yet ambitious, this book helps forge a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity, and grace. On Freedom helps us see exactly what we’re fighting for. It is a thrilling intellectual journey and a tour de force of political philosophy.

The past is another country, the old saying goes. The same might be said of the future. But which country? For Europeans and Americans today, the answer is Russia. Today s Russia is an oligarchy propped up by illusions and falsities. But it also represents the fulfilment of tendencies already present in the West. And if Moscow s drive to dissolve Western states and values succeeds, this could become our reality too. In this visionary work of contemporary history, Timothy Snyder shows how Russia works within the West to destroy the West; by supporting the far right in Europe, invading Ukraine in 2014, and waging a cyberwar during the 2016 presidential campaign and the EU referendum. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the creation of Donald Trump, an American failure deployed as a Russian weapon. But this threat presents an opportunity to better understand the pillars of our freedoms, confront our own complacency and seek renewal. History never ends, and this new challenge forces us to face the choices that will determine the future: equality or oligarchy, individualism or totalitarianism, truth or lies. The Road to Unfreedom helps us to see our world as if for the first time. It is necessary reading for any citizen of a democracy.

Orthodoxy claims to be universal . . . Since its first publication fifty years ago, Timothy Ware s book has become established throughout the English-speaking world as the standard introduction to the Orthodox Church.

Wilhelm von Habsburg wore the uniform of an Austrian officer, the court regalia of a Habsburg archduke, the simple suit of a Parisian exile, the decorations of the Order of the Golden Fleece and, every so often, a dress. He spoke the Italian of his archduke mother, the German of his archduke father, the English of his British royal friends, the Polish of the country his father wished to rule and the Ukrainian of the land Wilhelm wished to rule himself.Timothy Snyder s masterful biography is not only a reconstruction of the life of this extraordinary man - a man who remained loyal to his Ukrainian dreams even after the country s dissolution in 1921- but also charts the final collapse of the ancien regime in Europe and the rise of a new world order.

From New York Times bestselling author of The Mosquito, the incredible story of how the horse shaped human history. The Horse is an epic history that begins more than 5500 years ago on the windswept grasslands of the Eurasian Steppe when the first horse was tamed and an unbreakable bond with humans was forged - a bond that transformed the future of humanity. Since that pivotal moment, the horse has carried the fate of civilisations on its powerful back. For millennia it was the primary mode of transport, an essential farming machine, a steadfast companion and a formidable weapon of war. With its unique combination of size, speed, strength, and stamina, the horse has influenced every facet of human life and widened the scope of human ambition and achievement. Horses revolutionised the way we hunted, traded, travelled, farmed, fought, worshipped and interacted. They fundamentally modified the human genome and the world s linguistic map. They determined international borders, moulded cultures, fuelled economies, and decided the destinies of conquerors and empires. And they were vectors of lethal disease and contributed to lifesaving medical innovations. Horses even inspired architecture, invention, furniture and fashion. From the thundering cavalry charges of Alexander the Great to the streets of New York during the Great Manure Crisis of 1894 and beyond, horses have been integral to both the grand arc of history and our everyday lives. Timothy C. Winegard s The Horse is a riveting fast-paced narrative of this noble animal s unrivalled and enduring place in human history. To know the horse is to understand the world.

A highly entertaining read, deftly melding social history with sporting memoir and travelogue Mail on SundayA history of Latin America through cricketCricket was the first sport played in almost every country of the Americas - earlier than football, rugby or baseball. In 1877, when England and Australia played the inaugural Test match at the MCG, Uruguay and Argentina were already ten years into their derby played across the River Plate.The visionary cricket historian Rowland Bowen said that, during the highpoint of cricket in South America between the two World Wars, the continent could have provided the next Test nation. In Buenos Aires, where British engineers, merchants and meatpackers flocked to make their fortune, the standard of cricket was high: towering figures like Lord Hawke and Plum Warner took star-studded teams of Test cricketers to South America, only to be beaten by Argentina. A combined Argentine, Brazilian and Chilean team took on the first-class counties in England in 1932. The notion of Brazilians and Mexicans playing T20 at the Maracana or the Azteca today is not as far-fetched as it sounds.But Evita Burned Down Our Pavilion is also a social history of grit, industry and nation-building in the New World. West Indian fruit workers battled yellow fever and brutal management to carve out cricket fields next to the railway lines in Costa Rica. Cricket was the favoured sport of Chile s Nitrate King. Emperors in Brazil and Mexico used the game to curry favour with Europe. The notorious Pablo Escobar even had a shadowy connection to the game. The fate of cricket in South America was symbolised by Eva Peron ordering the burning down of the Buenos Aires Cricket Club pavilion when the club refused to hand over their premises to her welfare scheme.Cricket journalists Timothy Abraham and James Coyne take us on a journey to discover this largely untold story of cricket s fate in the world s most colourful continent. Fascinating and surprising, Evita Burned Down Our Pavilion is a valuable addition to cricketing and social history.

From the internationally acclaimed author of Hitler s Private Library, a dramatic recounting of the six critical months before Adolf Hitler assumed power, when the Nazi leader teetered between triumph and ruin.In the summer of 1932, the Weimar Republic was on the verge of collapse. One in three Germans was unemployed. Violence was rampant. Hitler s National Socialists surged at the polls. Paul von Hindenburg, an aging war hero and avowed monarchist, was a reluctant president bound by oath to uphold the constitution. The November elections offered Hitler the prospect of a Reichstag majority and a path to political power. But instead, the Nazis lost two million votes. As membership hemorrhaged and financial backers withdrew, the Nazi Party threatened to fracture. Hitler talked of suicide. The New York Times declared he was finished. Yet somehow, in a few brief weeks, he was chancellor of Germany.In fascinating detail and with previously un-accessed archival materials, Timothy W. Ryback tells the remarkable story of Hitler s dismantling of democracy through the democratic process. He provides a fresh perspective and insights into Hitler s personal and professional lives in these months, in all their complexity and uncertainty-backroom deals, unlikely alliances, stunning betrayals, an ill-timed tax audit, and a fateful weekend that changed our world forever. Above all, Ryback makes clear why a wearied Hindenburg, who disdained the Bohemian corporal, ultimately decided to appoint Hitler chancellor in January 1933.Within weeks, Germany was no longer a democracy.

The issue of idolatry has been with the human race for thousands of years; the subtle temptation is always to take what is good and turn it into the ultimate good, elevating it above all other things in the search for security and meaning. In this timely and challenging book, New York pastor Timothy Keller uses classic Bible stories to look at the issue of idolatry - from the worship of actual idols in the Old Testament, to the idolatry of money by the rich young ruler when he was challenged by Jesus to give up all his wealth. Keller cuts through our dependence on the glittering false idols of money, sex and power to uncover the path towards trust in the real ultimate - God. Today s idols may look different from those of the Old Testament, but Keller argues that they are no less damaging. Culturally transforming as well as biblically based, COUNTERFEIT GODS is a powerful look at the temptation to worship what can only disappoint, and is a vital message in today s current climate of financial and social difficulty.
