Madeleine Roux’s next season in Regency England follows a rebellious writer and the man who risks everything to publish her. Margaret Arden yearns to live like the passionate and daring women in her novel. The idyllic life at Mosely Cottage with her two younger sisters and mother is fine, but Margaret wants more than the demure and dainty existence she’s known. After a particularly brutal rejection from an annoyingly attractive publisher, Margaret fears being forced into marriage to protect her family if their financial situation doesn’t improve—until her cousin’s glamorous wedding masquerade brings her onto a collision course with scandal, notoriety, and even love. Captain Bridger Darrow is starting over after fighting for his country. Now home, he is struggling to save his family from destitution and succeed in a new venture of passion: book publishing. It’s all going rather poorly, until he stumbles upon loose pages of an astonishing novel while in attendance at his dearest friend’s wedding. Bridger knows he must publish it. But upon meeting the author, Bridger is stunned to discover that he—she—is a woman, and he has already told her off in grand fashion.While Bridger is keen to gain her trust and rescind the initial ...

Ranjit Bolt updates Much Ado About Nothing with a merry new translation.  In Much Ado About Nothing, a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings spiral out of control, leaving two sets of lovers to untangle their words and their hearts. Ranjit Bolt, an accomplished translator, takes on Shakespeare’s well-loved comedy to update much of the obscure language while maintaining the humor, characterization, and wit that audiences know and love. For modern readers, Beatrice, Benedick, Hero, and Claudio are just as enchanting as always—and perhaps funnier than ever before. This translation of Much Ado About Nothing was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present work from “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print—a new First Folio for a new era.

After The Dance delves into the intriguing life of South African artist Le Roux Smith Le Roux (1914–1963), a brilliant yet obsessive outsider who was appointed Deputy Keeper of the Tate Gallery in 1950 at the age of thirty-six. Renowned for his sharp intelligence and methodical approach, Le Roux boldly questions the price paid by Director Sir John Rothenstein for the Degas sculpture, Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen. While Le Roux excels in his professional life, his personal relationships are chaotic. The biography unveils the complexities of a talented man whose life was tumultuous as it was remarkable. The narrative describes the Great Tate Affair (1952–1954), offering a fresh perspective that challenges the accepted narrative shaped by Rothenstein’s flawed account. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, this book invites readers to reconsider one of art history’s most controversial episodes.

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"

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. V řadě zemí světa oslabuje politický střet a posilují extrémy, ať už pravicový nebo levicový. Političtí vůdcové jako Vladimir Putin nebo Kim Čong-un se uchylují k ...

His father flatly refused to talk about it, and with no other relatives to consult, it seems that a mystery it shall always remain. Until of course, Will meets Ghislaine, his beautiful French cousin, in a chance encounter that introduces him to his grandmother, Madeleine, shut away in a quiet Breton manor with her memories and secrets.Before long, Will has been plunged headlong into the life of Madeleine''s great love, his longlost grandfather, Henry Latymer. Reading Henry''s old letters and diaries for the first time, Will discovers an idealistic young man, full of hopes and optimism - an optimism that will gradually be crushed as the realities of life under the Vichy regime become glaringly clear.But the more Will delves into Madeleine and Henry''s past, and into France''s troubled history, the darker the secrets he discovers become, and the more he has cause to wonder if sometimes, the past should remain buried.
