FROM THE WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYWhen My Brother Was an Aztec is a work of courage and invention â “ one that foregrounds the particularities of family dynamics and individual passion against the backdrop of Western mythologies and a deeply rooted cultural history.

It acknowledges absences and uncomfortable silences, as well as conjuring vivid voices and presences, from Antigone and Houdini to Huitzilopochtli and Jesus.Stolen cowboy boots, violins on fire; a mariachi band playing in the bathroom, a black bayonet carried between the shoulder blades; the beauty of busted fruit, the sight of hellish visions - Diaz both revels and reveals through her distinctive use of language and imagery, bringing to life every intimate and communal encounter, blooming abundance from scarcity.

V této široce rozkročené práci o způsobech politického vedení politický historik Archie Brown zpochybňuje naše zakořeněné přesvědčení, že jedině silní lídři - myšleno ti, kteří nad svými kolegy rádi dominují v každodenní politické praxi - jsou také lídry úspěšnými a hodnými našeho obdivu. Na mnoha příkladech a velkých postavách politiky 20. století ukazuje, že ačkoli kolegiálnější styl vedení považujeme za projev slabosti, jsou to právě kooperativně založení jedinci, jejichž působení mělo nakonec největší dopad na rozvoj společnosti. Přesvědčivá analýza způsobů politického vedení. Independent Je potěšení, když se objeví kniha o politickém vedení, která pouze neaplikuje teoretické modely, ale studuje skutečné politické vůdce z různých zemí v historickém záběru sahajícím až do začátku 20. století. Wall Street Journal Těžko najdeme lepšího průvodce než je Archie Brown, který žil a pracoval střídavě ve Velké Británii, Spojených státech a Rusku, a je jak výjimečným politologem, tak autorem píšícím vytříbeným a čtivým stylem.
