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.

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.

The Highland Clearances was a dark episode in Scottish history when many thousands of people were forced off lands that they and their kin had lived on for generations. Some boarded ships destined for the colonies of America and Australia, others ended up on small barren plots by the coast or in city slums. A few men were outspoken against the atrocities, and one of them was Donald Ross.Donald Ross was a Highlander, born in Sutherland in 1813. His father was the miller on the Skibo Castle Estate and Donald took over the mill when his father died. He and his family were subsequently evicted, fighting against their eviction in the Supreme Court but losing the case. Donald moved to Glasgow and within two years, as Agent for the Poor, helped over 1,500 people receive poor-relief payments, which were being withheld by local parish boards.

Perhaps Donald Michael MacDonald invented the round mile, all 2,240 yards of it. Donald and his seven cows, walking the same steps each day through the past and the future, the fairy knoll and the poison pool, the eternal truths and the unknowable possibilities. Rarely does Donald venture beyond the round mile, for he has no need to: all of history can be found on his land. Yet the wind farms, the spaceport, and the American billionaire with his Big House all threaten the peace Donald has cultivated and guarded as fiercely as he protects his animals. He loses a part of himself – and most of his herd – before an unexpected old friend helps Donald and his seven cows to reclaim their path, even as their island is transformed by a new age.

Donald Judd Interviews presents sixty interviews with the artist over the course of four decades, and is the first compilation of its kind. It is the companion volume to the critically acclaimed and bestselling Donald Judd Writings.This collection of interviews engages a diverse range of topics, from philosophy and politics to Judd’s insightful critiques of his own work and the work of others such as Mark di Suvero, Edward Hopper, Yayoi Kusama, Barnett Newman, and Jackson Pollock. The opening discussion of the volume between Judd, Dan Flavin, and Frank Stella provides the foundation for many of the succeeding conversations, focusing on the nature and material conditions of the new art developing in the 1960s. The publication also gathers a substantial body of unpublished material across a range of mediums including extensive interviews with art historians Lucy R. Lippard and Barbara Rose. Judd’s contributions in interviews, panels, and extemporaneous conversations are marked by his forthright manner and rigorous thinking, whether in dialogue with art critics, art historians, or his contemporaries. In one of the last interviews, he observed, “Generally expensive art is in expensive, chic circumstances; it’s a falsification. The society is basically not interested in art. And most people who ...

A fascinating inside account of the attempt to prosecute former US president Donald Trump. Mark Pomerantz was a retired lawyer living a calm suburban life when he accepted an offer to join the staff of the district attorney of New York County in February 2021. His brief: to work on the investigation of former president Donald Trump and the Trump Organisation. Over the next year, Pomerantz interviewed potential witnesses, scrutinised financial records and learned everything he could about Trump’s business practices. He finally gathered enough evidence to support the view—held by many of his colleagues on the case—that Trump should be indicted for a number of financial crimes. But that indictment never happened. This book explains why. In People vs. Donald Trump, Pomerantz tells the story of his unprecedented investigation, why he and his colleague Carey Dunne resigned in protest when Manhattan’s district attorney refused to act, and why he believes Donald Trump should be prosecuted. He draws from a lifetime of legal experience to tell a devastating and frequently entertaining story of how prosecutors think, how criminals act, and how the American justice system works—and sometimes doesn’t work.

Napísal som túto knihu, aby som vysvetlil, prečo to zašlo až tak ďaleko a zároveň ponúkol nápady, akoproblém riešiť. Chcem ľuďom pomôcť pochopiť vážnosť a naliehavosť situácie a vysvetliť, čo sa stane,ak sa nič nezmení. Predísť ešte väčšej katastrofe môžeme len vtedy, ak budeme mať realistický pohľadna prítomnosť i budúcnosť.“Týmito slovami uvádza svoju knihu autor Graeme Maxton, donedávna generálny tajomník Rímskeho klubu.Od prvej správy Rímskeho klubu (Limity rastu) v roku 1972 sa hospodárska politika štátov, pred ktorouvedci varovali, v ničom zásadnom nezmenila – ostala závislá od rastu spotreby neobnoviteľných prírodnýchzdrojov a spôsobila obrovskú deštrukciu životného prostredia. Konzumná civilizácia sa tak dostala dosituácie, keď vzájomná synergia globálnych problémov znemožňuje ďalšie pokračovanie vývoja ľudstva.Ľudí čaká radikálne odlišná budúcnosť, než na akú ich tradične pripravuje rodina, školský systém, médiáa reklama.Kniha ponúka orientáciu v kríze dnešného sveta a naznačuje systémové riešenia.Nemecké vydanie (október 2018) v rebríčkoch bestsellerov Amazon a Spiegel.

„Na prvý pohľad hlavný problém zmeny klímy predstavujú skleníkové plyny. Sú však len symptómom. V jadre klimatickej krízy je sociálny problém... Klimatická zmena sa dá korigovať iba ak zmeníme naše správanie.“ Z tejto pozície analyzuje autor Graeme Maxton, ešte nedávno generálny tajomník Rímskeho klubu, systémové príčiny krízy našej civilizácie, aby sa tak dostal k systémovým riešeniam. Ide teda o viac ako len redukciu uhlíka v atmosfére. Za ničením planetárneho ekosystému musíme vidieť dominantný systém kultúry, ktorý podporuje a priam núti ľudí do organizovaného drancovania prírody. Takéto nastavenie nedokážu zmeniť individuálne akcie, ani apelovanie na uvedomelosť ľudí. Navyše, rozpad ekosystémov a narušenie klímy sú už v takom stupni, že pomôže len okamžitá, skutočne účinná záchranná akcia. Jej nevyhnutnou podmienkou je radikálna zmena ekonomického a politického systému v globálnom rozsahu. „Ako sme sa dostali do tejto situácie, aké dôsledky môžeme očakávať a čo by sme mali ako jednotlivci a spoločnosť urobiť – práve o tom je táto kniha.“

„Dokumentární“ thriller nominovaný na Man Booker Prize a přeložený do více než dvanácti jazyků se tváří jako soubor „nalezených“ listin pojednávajících o vyvraždění jedné rodiny na skotském venkově v roce 1869 a následném soudu, který zkoumá, zda byl pachatel při spáchání činu příčetný, anebo se propadl do šílenství. Napínavé líčení je navíc vynikajícím pokusem rozlišit tyto dva stavy lidské mysli a také historickým esejem o tom, jak se v kriminalistice začaly uplatňovat poznatky psychiatrie a psychologie zločinu, doplněným o humorné přiblížení tehdy módní pseudoteorie degeneracionismu a dědičnosti zločinné povahy. Graeme Macrae Burnet (1967) je skotský prozaik žijící v Glasgow; nějakou dobu pobýval i v Česku. Upozornil na sebe výraznou prvotinou, mystifikační detektivkou Zmizení Adele Bedeauové (česky Argo 2018). Druhý román, Jeho krvavé dílo, sklidil obrovský úspěch u čtenářů „Ďábelsky čtivé.“ The Guardian

Wonderfully engaging, expansive and ambitious, Sound Tracks tells the history of our relationship with music in sixty detective stories, each focusing on the discovery of a musical instrument - or its fragments - in archaeological digs around the world. Taking us from the present day - finding a 100-year-old wax cylinder recording on a flea market - all the way back to the dawn of time - the thrilling discovery of a prehistoric flute - long-lost music is itself reconstructed as we enter the worlds of those who created it. We feel the delight of a child in Peru in 700 AD, playing with a water-filled pot designed to chirp like a bird; we appreciate the difficult task of a soldier sending signals by trumpet to the next watchtower on Hadrian's Wall; we can almost hear the sounds of the sixty-four bells buried in a tomb in China in the 5th century BC.Graeme Lawson takes us on a grand tour of the world's greatest musical discoveries, revealing that music is part of human DNA - not just in its role as pastime, entertainment or religious expression but also as a medium in which we commemorate our pasts, communicate with each ...

Further Facets of Wuthering Heights is a follow-up to Facets of Wuthering Heights (Matador, 2018). The book consists of nineteen of Graeme Tytler’s essays, originally published in the journal Brontë Studies over the years. Each of the essays is a critical discussion of one particular aspect of Emily Brontë''s masterpiece, based on a close reading of the text. This second collection continues to draw attention to Emily''s remarkable versatility as a novelist by pointing up again the skill with which she has constructed the plot, the inventiveness with which she has created an astonishing variety of complex characters, and the brilliance with which she has made structural use of her central themes. And although Wuthering Heights is famous above all for its extraordinary love story, these essays explore deeper meanings and shades of the plot, characters and even props, to open the eyes of the reader who will perhaps experience a new, surprising enjoyment of the novel.

The mixed-race child of a Catholic teenager and a Guyanese stowaway, Lynott rose above daunting obstacles and wounding abandonments to become Ireland''s first rock star. Cowboy Song examines his key musical alliances as well as the unique blend of cultural influences which informed Lynott''s writing, connecting Ireland''s rich reserves of music, myth and poetry to hard rock, progressive folk, punk, soul and New Wave.Published on the thirtieth anniversary of Lynott''s death in January 1986, Thomson draws on scores of exclusive interviews with family, friends, band mates and collaborators. Cowboy Song is both the ultimate depiction of a multi-faceted rock icon, and an intimate portrait of a much-loved father, son and husband.
