Her mission is to fire the enthusiasm of the children of East Mole for reading. But her love affair with the local married GP, and her befriending of his precious daughter, her neighbour''s son and her landlady''s neglected grandchild, ignite the prejudices of the town, threatening her job and the very existence of the library with dramatic consequences for them all.The Librarian is a moving testament to the joy of reading and the power of books to change and inspire us all.

Alice - Hugo Vickers

The remarkable, moving story of Prince Philip''s mother by eminent biographer Hugo Vickers, updated in this new edition - for fans of Kingmaker and The Lives and Deaths of the Princesses of Hesse''Gripping. Hugo Vickers has pulled off an extraordinary feat in describing the life - in many ways tragic - of Princess Andrew of Greece. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a masterpiece.'' - A. N. Wilson''Vickers tells this story with a sure touch and an expertise that only he can command'' SUNDAY TIMES''A sympathetic, piquant and well-defined portrait of a spirited woman'' LITERARY REVIEW''Sympathetic yet free of pathos, Vickers''s life celebrates an unusual and fascinating woman'' KIRKUS-------- Princess Alice, mother of Prince Phillip, was something of a mystery figure even within her own family. Profoundly deaf, she was born at Windsor Castle in the presence of her great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, and brought up in England, Darmstadt, and Malta. In 1903 she married Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, and from then on her life was overshadowed by wars, revolutions, enforced periods of exile. Further crisis hit when, at the age of forty-five, she was removed from her family and placed in a sanatorium in Switzerland, where she was pronounced a paranoid schizophrenic. As her stay in the clinic became prolonged, there was a time where it seemed she might never walk free again. Yet she recovered. Illuminating and enthralling, eminent biographer Hugo Vickers''s account of her life is as tumultuous and extraordinary as the times she lived through.

Salle writes with humour and verve, replacing the jargon of art theory with precise and evocative descriptions that help the reader develop a personal and intuitive engagement with art.

The series of candid observations, secrets and indiscretions contained in his notes were to be kept private for 50 years. Now published in full for the first time and edited by the highly admired royal biographer Hugo Vickers, this is a riveting, often hilarious portrait of the eccentric aristocracy of a bygone age. Giving much greater insight into Queen Mary than the official version, and including sharply observed encounters with, among others, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Duke of Gloucester, and a young Queen Elizabeth, The Quest for Queen Mary is set to be a classic of royal publishing.

Kamil Mrva. Architects - Petr Volf

Monografie, jež vychází u příležitosti padesátých narozenin Kamila Mrvy, představuje rozsáhlé, čtvrt století se vyvíjející dílo. Stavby tohoto úspěšného architekta se objevují především v okolí Beskyd: dokazují, že lze žít v souladu s krajinným rázem a tradicí, a přitom nerezignovat na soudobý životní styl. "V tomto ohledu byl Kamil Mrva bezesporu průkopníkem nového, velmi empatického přístupu k architektuře", upozorňuje spisovatel Petr Volf. Zvláštní pozornost je v knize věnována jeho práci pro Trojanovice, jež podle poroty soutěže Architekt obci 2023 můžou "připomínat valašskou obdobu švýcarského Vrinu, kde též jediný architekt, Gion Caminada, dlouhodobě, samostatně a na světové úrovni pečuje o jednu odlehlou horskou obci". Jenom těžko nalezneme architekta, který by dokázal tak vyloženě pozitivně ovlivnit podobu rodinných domů, ale také škol, sportovišť, prodejen, turistických center stejně jako industriálních staveb či veřejných prostranství, jako se to v jednadvacátém století podařilo Kamilu Mrvovi. S jeho tvorbou se můžeme setkat na venkově, ve městech, ale i v metropolích, jakými jsou Ostrava, Brno nebo Praha - a vedle Česka také na Slovensku či Polsku. Regionální architekt tak dosáhl krok za krokem nadregionální, ba mezinárodní význam, a svým komplexním přístupem inspiruje novou generaci architektů. The present monograph, published to commemorate the fiftieth birthday of Kamil Mrva, presents his extensive oeuvre developing across a quarter of a century. The buildings of this successful architect have appeared primarily in the region of the Beskydy Mountains: confirming that it is possible to live in harmony with a landscape's character and traditions while not being forced to relinquish contemporary aesthetics or comfort. "In this aspect, Kamil Mrva was undoubtedly the pioneer of a new, highly empathetic approach to architecture”, notes author Petr Volf. Particular attention is paid in the book to his work for the small town of Trojanovice, which in the view of the jury for the competition "Local Architect 2023” can "recall a Wallachian parallel to the Swiss village of Vrin, where likewise a single architect, Gion Caminada, has taken long-term, independent, and world-class care of this remote mountain settlement”. It would be hard indeed to find an architect that has had such an unambiguously positive influence on the form of family houses, yet equally schools, sports complexes, retail outlets, tourist information centres, or even industrial buildings or public spaces, as Kamil Mrva has managed to do in the twenty-first century. His work can be encountered in the countryside, in small towns, or even in the metropolises of Ostrava, Brno, or Prague - and outside the Czech Republic, also in Slovakia and Poland. As such, this regional architect has increasingly reached national, indeed even international significance, with his thorough and complex approach inspiring a new generation of practitioners.
