Britský historik Christopher Hibbert vykresluje rozporuplnou osobnost italského fašistického vůdce Benita Mussoliniho s mimořádnou pečlivostí, zároveň čtivě a poučeně, jak je ostatně jeho zvykem. Mussolini se narodil v neděli odpoledne v roce 1888 ve středoitalské vesnici. V sobotu odpoledne v roce 1945 byl zastřelen komunistickými partyzány na břehu Comského jezera. Behem šedesáti dvou let mezi těmito dvěma osudovými odpoledni prožil italský duce život tak dramatický, že se mu v moderních dějinách málokdo vyrovná. Hibbert mapuje Mussoliniho nezastavitelnou cestu k moci a drobné nuance fašistické ideologie, již Mussolini stvořil. Zamýšlí se i nad stopami, které Mussolini zanechal v soudobém myšlení a ptá se, proč je tato osobnost v Itálii dodnes předmětem vypjatých vášní, zlořečení i úcty..

Renomovaný britský spisovatel Christopher Hibbert, který je autorem více než padesáti populárně historických knih a životopisů, měl ve zvláštní oblibě Itálii. Jistě i proto se rozhodl vylíčit, jak se španělskému rodu Borgiů podařilo vyšvihnout se v této zemi i v církvi do nejvyšších mocenských pozic. Ústřední postavou dynastie jsou Rodrigo Borgia, tj. papež Alexandr VI., jeho proslulá dcera Lucrezia a syn Cesare, kterému zajistil nesmrtelnost Machiavelliho spis Vladař. Je pověst Borgiů - nemravů, hýřilů, vrahů, kariéristů, úplatkářů, ale i vojenských velitelů a mecenášů umění - zasloužená? Hibbert si klade otázku, zda životní styl rodu vedl po zásluze k tomu, že se jejich jméno stalo synonymem mravní zkaženosti, nepotismu a hrabivosti. V dramatických, čtivě a barvitě vykreslených osudech Borgiů, které autor hojně dokládá i citacemi z dobových pramenů, se zároveň zrcadlí složité poměry renesanční Itálie.

Navazuje na Mussolini. Syn XX. století. Druhý díl podrobné kroniky fašismu v Itálii je stejně jako první nahlížen z pohledu samotného Mussoliniho a dalších protagonistů hnutí. Odehrává se mezi roky 1925-1932, v období, kdy se Mussolini stává miláčkem národa i respektovaným mezinárodním politikem. Román odráží události doby po překonání velké krize, kterou vyvolalo zavraždění socialistického poslance Matteottiho. Mussolini jako předseda vlády energicky ovládá celý parlament a podle svých představ buduje totalitní stát. Jeho popularita mezi lidem roste, papež Pius XI. jej dokonce označí za "muže, kterého nám dala sama prozřetelnost". Vůdci fašistického hnutí však tohle všechno nestačí. Nyní již nemůže být pochyb o tom, že Scurati literárně pokryje celou Mussoliniho éru až do konce. Tím toto dílo teprve nabývá na významu.

For almost all nations the First World War was an unparalleled disaster, but the Italian experience especially was to have catastrophic consequences. Weakened and embittered, trying and failing to come to terms with 600,000 dead and with an entire generation of men militarized by fighting, Italy gave birth to a new form of political life: Fascism.Richard Bosworth brings to life the period when Italians participated in a vast and ultimately ruinous political experiment under their dictator, Benito Mussolini, and his fascist henchmen. The fascists were the first totalitarians, aiming to reshape Italy and its people utterly. Their regime was based on a cult of violence and obedience. Yet, despite this, Italians found ingenious ways of adapting, limiting, undermining and ridiculing Mussolini''s ambitions for them. The heart of this book is its engagement with the life of these ordinary Italians and their families, struggling through terrible times. Bosworth creates a powerful, plausible and entertaining picture of Italian life and a regime which - as the world hurtled towards the cataclysm of the Second World War - was to force humiliation, defeat, invasion and the utter collapse of the nation state.

DVD dokumentární film Generálové 2. světové války (2.díl) - Mussolini. Český dabing. Dolby Digital. Když se Spojencům podařilo na jaře roku 1943 porazit vojska Osy v severní Africe, přišlo na řadu obsazení Itálie, „měkkého podbřišku Evropy“, jak říkal Churchill. Jejím účelem byla eliminace hlavního německého spojence, Duceho fašistické Itálie, a otevření druhé fronty jako pomoc Sovětskému svazu, který bojoval proti Německu na východě. Operační plány této velké obojživelné operace, pojmenované krycím názvem Husky, byly připravovány ve spojeneckých štábech již za tažení v severní Africe.Operace započala vyloděním spojeneckých vojsk na Sicílii dne 9. července 1943. Vylodění bylo úspěšné, jižní fronta Osy se brzy zhroutila, což vedlo k pádu italského fašistického režimu. Hitler však nechtěl Itálii ztratit, a proto sem poslal velké množství prvotřídních jednotek Wehrmachtu a zbraní SS, které navíc měly za úkol potlačit protifašistické hnutí italského lidu. Operace Husky rovněž odlehčila východní frontě, kde Němci museli ukončit operace v Kurském oblouku dílem pro její neúspěch, dílem proto, že mnoho důležitých divizí museli poslat na jih do Itálie. Jak však Spojenci postupovali na sever, odpor Němců sílil, až se nakonec spojenecký postup zastavil na dlouhých a krvavých pět měsíců na přelomu let 1943/1944 v hornaté části střední Itálie pod Římem, za ...

Kniha - autor Christopher Duggan, 472 stran, česky, polotuhá flexo Kniha nabízí neotřelý a zneklidňující pohled na zemi v područí charismatického vůdce. Christopher Duggan sleduje vývoj fašismu od samých počátků až po jeho dopad na současnost a zkoumá, proč se toto hnutí těšilo takové podpoře většiny obyvatel Itálie. Zaměřuje se na to, jak mimořádnou moc měl duce nad Itálií a jak došlo k tomu, že se stal přímo zosobněním fašismu. Autor vychází ze zřídka zkoumaných pramenů, jako jsou dopisy a deníky, novinové zprávy, spisy tajné policie, populární písně a rozhlasové pořady, a zabývá se tím, jaké zkušenosti s fašismem měli obyčejní lidé, jak tato ideologie ovlivňovala politiku, náboženství a každodenní život do té míry, že Mussoliniho odkaz přetrvává v Itálii až do dnešních dnů.

Historie není jen soubor notoricky známých příběhů významných osobností. Ve skutečnosti se doslova hemží zapomenutými a neopěvovanými postavami, jejichž někdy plánované, někdy neúmyslné skutky měly dalekosáhlé následky. Osudy jiných statistů zase poznamenaly velké dějiny způsobem, že z toho jde hlava kolem. A pak tu jsou činy, za nimiž sice stojí proslulí velikáni, ale o kterých se v hodinách dějepisu z nejrůznějších důvodů neučí. O tom všem pojednává tato nesmírně zábavná publikace. Seznámíte se v ní kupříkladu s titulním Mussoliniho holičem, jenž znal nejostudnější tajemství svého vysoce postaveného zákazníka; s hercem a hlasatelem, který za druhé světové války podle všeho namluvil některé z nejslavnějších projevů Winstona Churchilla; se šťastlivcem, jenž přežil výbuchy atomových bomb v Hirošimě i Nagasaki; nebo třeba s vrahem muže, který spáchal atentát na prezidenta Lincolna. A tím to zdaleka nekončí! Vydejte se s námi do zákulisí novodobé historie a odhalte zcela nové stránky zdánlivě dobře známých událostí.

“The journey to understand the painting is also the journey to understand Rothko, because the work is so thoroughly suffused with the man.”—Christopher Rothko Mark Rothko (1903–1970), world-renowned icon of Abstract Expressionism, is rediscovered in this wholly original examination of his art and life written by his son. Synthesizing rigorous critique with personal anecdotes, Christopher, the younger of the artist’s two children, offers a unique perspective on this modern master.  Christopher Rothko draws on an intimate knowledge of the artworks to present eighteen essays that look closely at the paintings and explore the ways in which they foster a profound connection between viewer and artist through form, color, and scale. The prominent commissions for the Rothko Chapel in Houston and the Seagram Building murals in New York receive extended treatment, as do many of the lesser-known and underappreciated aspects of Rothko’s oeuvre, including reassessments of his late dark canvases and his formidable body of works on paper. The author also discusses the artist’s writings of the 1930s and 1940s, the significance of music to the artist, and our enduring struggles with visual abstraction in the contemporary era. Finally, Christopher Rothko writes movingly about his role as the artist’s son, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Christopher Tolkien’s masterly translation of the Icelandic Heidrek’s Saga, including the dramatic Battle of the Goths and the Huns, the lyrical Waking of Angantyr, and the unique riddle-contest between King Heidrek and the god Odin.Heidrek’s Saga is a medieval entertainment – a ‘romance’, but a romance that derives little of its matter from the literature of France or Germany. It is an example of a kind of story-telling that was flourishing in Iceland by the beginning of the twelfth century, and which (in contrast to the more celebrated ‘Sagas of the Icelanders’) told of legendary figures whose origins lie far back in time beyond the settlement of the country.The elements of the story, diverse in age and atmosphere, are unified in the theme of a possession bearing an ancestral curse, as it passes down the generations; but the saga’s peculiar value lies in the older poems which the unknown author set into the framework of his narrative, including The Battle of the Goths and the Huns, perhaps the oldest of all the Northern heroic lays, The Waking of Angantyr, source of many eighteenth-century ‘Gothic Odes’, and the unique riddle-contest between King Heidrek and the god Odin in disguise.Translated from the ...

V knize The New Interior zkoumá Christopher Long, jak během pouhých sedmi let těsně před vypuknutím první světové války tři přední vídeňští modernisté - Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos a Oskar Strnad - redefinovali myšlenku moderní interiér. Tato kniha sleduje vývoj jejich debat, prací a to, jak se každý designér snažil zarámovat svou vlastní osobitou vizi bydlení. Výsledkem byl rozkol, který se nese až do současnosti, mezi imperativy stylu, funkce a životaschopnosti. In The New Interior, Christopher Long examines how, in the course of just seven years immediately prior to the outbreak of World War I, three of the leading Viennese modernists-Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos, and Oskar Strnad-redefined the idea of the modern interior. This book follows the progress of their debates and works, and how each designer sought to frame his own distinctive vision of living.

Winner of the Wolfson History Prize, Christopher Clark''s Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia 1600-1947 is a compelling account of a country that played a pivotal role in Europe''s fortunes and fundamentally shaped our world. Prussia began as a medieval backwater, but transformed itself into a major European power and the force behind the creation of the German empire, until it was finally abolished by the Allies after the Second World War. With great flair and authority, Christopher Clark describes Prussia''s great battles, dynastic marriages and astonishing reversals of fortune, its brilliant and charismatic leaders from the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg to Bismarck and Frederick the Great, the military machine and the progressive, enlightened values on which it was built.

In June 1960, several British newspapers received a letter so shocking some thought it was a hoax. Beginning ''Sir, we are homosexuals . . '', it was signed by Roger Butler and two others. Publishing such a letter seven years prior to the decriminalisation of homosexuality was a radical and dangerous move. But it was a risk that marked a huge milestone in the fight for gay rights. By the 1970s, the Gay Liberation Front was calling on people to come out to help reduce stigma, and it continued to be a core tactic in the 80s and 90s. Roger, however, had done this a full decade earlier. This is the story about of first man to voluntarily come out in his own words, using his own name, to the entire British public. Taking us through a criminalised underworld of pubs, parties and campaign gatherings, The Light of Day charts how Roger helped bring about a change in the law, legalising sex between men, but soon found himself marginalised from the movement he kickstarted after becoming completely blind in his early 30s.

Through his leading role in the three Superman films, Christopher Reeve became so closely identified with the superhero that he wasn''t just seen as the actor who played Superman, he was Superman. Which is why the tragic riding accident which left him paralysed from the neck down shocked the world. Superman was not superhuman. It is also why he is now the world''s most recognisable person in a wheelchair. In true superhero style, Christopher Reeve refuses to resign himself to the life of a quadriplegic, and is actively campaigning to raise the profile of spinal-cord injury victims and research. Although he was initially told that he would only ever be able to move his head, he can now shrug his shoulders and breathe alone for increasing periods of time, and is determined that he will walk again. It is this extraordinary courage and determination that has made Christopher Reeve the internationally admired figure that he is, and it is this bravery which makes this autobiography about his paralysis and his journey to recovery such a powerful and moving story.

Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality-including Robert''s indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing.
