My (extra)Ordinary Life - Rebecca Ryan

Have you ever wondered how normal you are? What if you were perfectly average? More than anyone else. For Emily - it's true. When she watches a documentary on the average human she sees her life.Her job, her hair, her favourite food. All of her - plainly, horrifically average. Even her blood group.Right there and then, she decides she wants more. She'll travel the world (i.e. venture out of her hometown)She'll become a vegan (it's interesting to hate cheese, right?) She'll do something daring (As long as it's safety tested) Nothing will stand in the way of Emily living her best life.Not even Josh and his dimples. Because she absolutely can't fall in love... that would be too ordinary.And from now on, Emily is going to be extraordinary. Praise for My (extra)Ordinary Life'Snortingly funny and painfully perceptive, Ryan is brilliant on the messiness and awkwardness of grief, love, family and figuring out how to be yourself in a world that just wants you to be 'normal'.

The Life of Rebecca Jones has all the makings of a classic, fixing on a vanishing period of rural history, and the novel''s final, unexpected revelation remains unforgettable and utterly moving.

I'm Sorry for My Loss - Colleen Long, Rebecca Little

A must-read investigation of reproductive health under fire in Post-Roe America.I''m Sorry for My Loss delves into the abyss of pregnancy loss, a topic that is misunderstood and full of guilt and shame, written with emotional resonance and humor by authors who have both been through it themselves. Rebecca Little and Colleen Long, childhood friends who grew up to be journalists, enlighten readers on the deep, sometimes mystifying history behind how we view pregnancy and loss, including:The hidden links that bind abortion, miscarriage, terminations for medical reasons, and stillbirth togetherHow the history of pregnancy loss in America continues to affect our view of it today Recent cultural and political changes that are leading to dangerous medical care for womenAnd much moreThe authors interviewed more than one hundred people who have lost a pregnancy, along with dozens of historians, linguists, midwives, doctors, and therapists to create a comprehensive work that examines pregnancy loss from every angle, from the inadequacy of the words we use to discuss pregnancy loss to the legal and medical maelstrom, and the ways in which parents have created their own mourning rituals in a culture that lacks them. I''m Sorry for My Loss is an approachable and deeply readable book about a traditionally unapproachable topic. For those who have experienced loss, the book aims to comfort but not pander. For everyone else, it is a valuable resource to understand this particularly painful, and often private, loss, and why conversations around pregnancy loss and women’s healthcare are vital for everyone.

a "Working Life" - Eileen Myles

''Ruthlessly unguarded, surgically self-parodic and infinitely funny ... An indispensable book about friendship and intimacy; I alternately laughed and shivered as I turned the pages'' GuardianFrom the prolific poet, activist and writer Eileen Myles, a "Working Life" unerringly captures the measure of life. Exploring permanence and mortality, danger and safety, fear and wonder, these poems arise in the close quarters of air travel, the flashing of a landscape through a train window, in a truck tooling around town, or on foot with a dog during the pandemic lockdowns.Their lines unabashedly sing the happy contradictions of love and sex, spill over with warnings about the not-so-future world threatened by climate change and capitalism, and find transcendent wonder in the landscapes and animals around us, and in the solitary and collective act of caring for one another and our world.With intelligence, heart and singular vision, a "Working Life" shows Myles working at a thrilling new pitch of their poetic and philosophical powers.

Chelsea Girls - Mx Eileen Myles

In this breathtakingly inventive autobiographical novel, Eileen Myles transforms their life into a work of art. Suffused with alcohol, drugs, and sex; evocative in its depictions of the hardscrabble realities of a young queer artist's life; with raw, flickering stories of awkward love, laughter, and discovery, Chelsea Girls is a funny, cool, and intimate account of how one young writer managed to shrug off the imposition of a rigid cultural identity. Told in Myles's audacious and singular voice made vivid and immediate by their lyrical language, Chelsea Girls weaves together memories of Myles's 1960s Catholic upbringing with an alcoholic father, their volatile adolescence, their unabashed "lesbianity," and their riotous pursuit of survival as a poet in 1970s and 80s New York.

The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man - Paul Newman

In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman’s family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor’s life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years. The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman’s voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voices—from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston—that run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling. Newman’s often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Marlon Brando and James Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his son Scott, his strong desire for his daughters to know and understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most moving material in the book centers around his relationship with Joanne Woodward—their love for each other, his dependence on her, the way she shaped him intellectually, emotionally and sexually. The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man is revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in some places, always complex and profound.

Fighting for My Life - Billy Moore

''The next round in Billy''s fight is pain-racked, frank and reflective . . . an inspiring piece from a man who''s been to hell and back and has the scars to prove it''JOE COLE''Brutally honest, dark and disturbing. A book that tells of the reality of drugs and a failing prison system''NEIL SAMWORTH, author of Strangeways: A Prison Officer''s Story''Billy Moore writes with such a tragic authenticity that it kept me willing for him to succeed, even as I knew he was never too far from self-destruction. It''s his self-awareness that I admire - unflinching and brutal and also, it should be said, his wonderful way with words''Professor Emeritus DAVID WILSON, author of My Life with Murderers''His life may have had many ups and downs, but Billy is a wonderful example of never giving up''JAMES ENGLISH''A true story of forgiveness, not only learning to forgive others but also learning to forgive yourself. An incredibly emotional story about an incredible man who''s had an incredible journey''LIAM HARRISON''This time I am telling the story of my life both before prison in Thailand and what followed once I was back in the United Kingdom, my cancer diagnosis, more prison time and, finally, redemption. I am trying to understand aspects of my childhood that had a role in my eventual downward spiral into addiction, pain, misery and loss''BILLY MOOREBilly Moore spent three years in Klong Prem prison in Thailand, popularly known as the ''Bangkok Hilton'', where he witnessed acts of extreme violence and sexual assault. Eventually he found purpose through taking part in Muay Thai boxing tournaments in jail. Here, he found ''a wall of human community'' amongst the elite boxers and regained his sobriety.He was granted early release by the King of Thailand having excelled as a Muay Thai boxer in inter-prison tournaments. But back in the UK and a decade later - with his demons resurfacing - Billy''s past caught up with him. He was caught and convicted of a burglary and was despatched to HMP Walton under then home secretary Theresa May''s three-strikes rule. Billy has spent almost twenty-two years in various prisons, but since then, he has not only survived cancer, but also gone on to become a powerful advocate of boxing and anti-knife crime initiatives in the Liverpool area, training young boxers.A Prayer Before Dawn was made into a film directed by Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire and starring Joe Cole, of Peaky Blinders'' fame. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017, but by the time it went on general release, Billy was back in prison in the UK.In this follow-up to Billy''s first international bestseller, an autobiography set largely in Thailand''s infamous prison system, Billy sets out to explore his experience of childhood abuse that would lead to a life of drug addiction and near-constant incarceration. After Billy''s sentence in Klong Prem prison was commuted as a result of his extraordinary success as a Muay Thai boxer, he returned to the UK.In this vividly told story, Liverpudlian Billy contrasts his first-hand experience of one of the cruellest prison systems in the world with his experience of UK prisons. The result is, in part, a shocking exposé of the inadequacy of care and the lack of humanity in British prisons. But Billy''s story is mainly one of rehabilitation, recovery and redemption. Rich in detail, honesty and humour, his book is a fast-paced, unputdownable read which shows how the human spirit can endure and eventually thrive.

Jack Ryan: V utajení (BLU-RAY)

Blu-ray HD film Jack Ryan: V utajení [Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, 2014]. Český dabing. České titulky. Dolby Digital. Hrají: Hrají: Chris Pine, Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner. Vzhledem k nízkému věku toho má Jack Ryan za sebou poměrně dost – těžké zranění z války v Afghánistánu, které ho málem doživotně zmrzačilo, náročnou rekonvalescenci, doktorát z ekonomie a práci ekonomického analytika v CIA, kterou před svým okolím a dokonce i před vlastní ženou (Keira Knightley) úspěšně tají. Když zachytí nestandardní operaci provedenou ruským finančním gigantem, pošle ho jeho řídící důstojník (Kevin Costner) do Moskvy, aby na místě zjistil, co se děje. Jack se hned po příletu musí proměnit z finančního úředníka v akčního hrdinu se vším všudy, protože jeho přítomnost v ruské metropoli není vítaná a jeho původně přátelský průvodce mu to dá dost jasně najevo tím, že se ho pokusí zlikvidovat. První kolo Jack přežije a postoupí do druhého – k setkání s oligarchou Viktorem Čerevinem (Kenneth Branagh), který osnuje plán, jenž může zásadně otřást světovou stabilitou. Zdánlivě má k dispozici všechny trumfy, včetně Jackovy ženy, která se impulzivně rozhodla manžela na moskevské služebce překvapit. Pokud má Jack Ryan zachránit svět i svou Kathy, bude se muset z roztřeseného zelenáče proměnit v chladnokrevný stroj, který se nebude bát myslet a střílet najednou.V českém znění: Marek Holý - Chris Pine (Jack Ryan), Zdeněk Mahdal - Kevin Costner (Thomas Harper), Kateřina Lojdová - Keira Knightley (Cathy Mullerová), Otakar Brousek ml. - Kenneth Branagh (Viktor Cherevin), Kateřina Petrová - Gemma Chan (Amy Changová), Václav Knop - Colm Feore (Rob Behringer), Radovan Vaculík - Seth Ayott (Teddy Hefferman), Klára Jandová - Hannah Taylor Gordon (Sarah), Bohdan Tůma - Nonso Anozie (Embee Deng), Svatopluk Schuller - Lenn Kudrjawizki (Constantin), Petr Burian, Apolena Veldová, Antonín Navrátil, Jakub Saic, Zbyšek Horák, Daniel Krejčík, Jaroslav Horák, Jiří BalcárekBonusy:• Vynechané a rozšířené scény (s volitelným komentářem Kennetha Branagha a Lorenza di Bonaventury)• Jack Ryan: Nejchytřejší chlapík v okolí• Sir Keneth Branagh: Car• Jack Ryan: Inteligent v akci• Staří nepřátelé se vracejí• Komentáře Kennetha Branagha a Lorenza di Bonaventury

Love of My Life - Lesley-Ann Jonesová

''EYEWITNESS GOLD'' SUNDAY TIMESWHO - OR WHAT - WAS THE REAL LOVE OF FREDDIE MERCURY''S LIFE? THE SENSATIONAL NEW BIOGRPHAY OF QUEEN''S FRONTMAN Millions of Queen and screen fans who watched the Oscar-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody believe that Mary Austin, the woman he could never quite let go of, was the love of Freddie Mercury''s life. But the truth is infinitely more complicated.Best-selling biographer and music writer Lesley-Ann Jones explores the charismatic frontman''s romantic encounters, from his boarding school years in Panchgani, India to his tragic, final, bed-ridden days in his magnificent London mansion. She reveals why none of his love interests ever perfected the art of being Freddie''s life partner.In Love of My Life, the author follows him through his obsessions with former shop girl Mary, German actress Barbara Valentin and Irish-born barber boyfriend Jim Hutton. She explores his adoration of globally fêted Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé. She delves into his intimate friendship with Elton John, and probes his imperishable bonds with his fellow band members. She deconstructs his complicated relationship with the ''food of love'' - his music - and examines closely his voracious appetite for - what some would call his fatal addiction to - sex. Which of these was the real love of Freddie Mercury''s life? Was any of them? Drawing on personal interviews and first-hand encounters, this moving book brings to the fore a host of Freddie''s lesser-known loves, weaving them in and out of the passions that consumed him. The result, a mesmerising portrait of a legendary rock star, is unputdownable. Love of My Life, published during the year of the 30th anniversary of his death and that would have seen his 75th birthday, is Lesley-Ann''s personal and compassionate tribute to an artist she has revered for as long as she has written about music and musicians.

I'm Just Ryan: The Little Guide to Ryan Gosling - OH

To his millions of fans worldwide, Ryan Gosling is not just a handsome face that can say "Hey girl!" in a way that makes them go weak at the knees (though he can and does), he is the defining icon of the new Golden Age of cinema, a 21st-century Cary Grant, as macho as he is feminine, with a total of 11 Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations under his belt, and a Golden Globe victory for Best Actor.Since his tenure as a leading man, 20 years ago in The Notebook, Ryan''s films have grossed more than $2 billion dollars, and his next few projects will certainly add to that figure, with Project Hail Mary, Wolf Man, Gray Man 2, and Margot Robbie''s Ocean Eleven reboot keeping him in the La La Land limelight for many years to come.I''m Just Ryan throws a bright spotlight on the actor''s playful and positive sense of humour and philosophy and revels in his ridiculous charm and sexiness with a wealth of iconic quotes and facts about the man - the legend - himself."I did doubt my Kenergy in the beginning. I just wasn''t sure I could do it but I just decided I was going to Ken as hard as I can. I Kenned in the morning; I Kenned at night. If I''m honest, I''m Kenning a little right now."Ryan, on channeling his "Kenergy"."Eva''s the dream mother, and they''re dream babies, and it''s like a dream that I''m having right now. I''m dreaming it all."Ryan, on his wife Eva Mendes.Ryan Gosling''s live performance of "I''m Just Ken" at the 2024 Academy Awards is already considered one of the most iconic moments in Oscars history. Dressed head-to-toe in pink, Ryan stole the show with Guns & Rose guitarist Slash and Mark Ronson, alongside 65 other "Ken''s", and his Barbie co-stars. More than 20 million people tuned in to watch and sales of the song jumped by 900 per cent during the performance.

Rise Sister Rise - Rebecca Campbell

Rise Sister Rise is a call to arms for our sacred feminine to rise up, tell the truth, and lead. From Rebecca Campbell, a writer, mystic, devotional creative, and visionary who supports hundreds of thousands of people to connect with their soul and weave the sacred back into their everyday life.It is for those who agreed at soul level to be here at this stage in history to lead this global shift that the mystics of the ages have predicted: the return of the mother and the rise of the feminine. Rebecca says: Rise for you, rise for me, when you rise first you rise for She. Many of us have spent much of our working lives "making it" in a man’s world, leaning on patriarchal methods of survival in order to succeed, dulling down our intuition, and ignoring the fierce power of the feminine. We have ignored the cycles of the feminine in order to survive in a patriarchal linear system – but now the world has changed.Here Are Some of the Chapters in Rise, Sister Rise:Part I - Rebecca''s Story · The Unbinding· The Wise Women· Work Baby· Shakti Rising· Returning to Avalon· Tools for Your Rising Part II - Birthing A New Age· We Were Made for These Times· Shakti Always Rises· The Holy Grail is Within YouPart III - Remembering Our Cyclic Nature · You Are Spirit Earthed· You''ll Find Your True Nature in Nature· When Whispers Turn into ShoutsPart IV - Unbinding the Wise, Wild Woman· The Suppression of the Female Voice· The Mystic Always Rises · Finding Mary· The Return of the MagdalenesPart V - Redefining Sisterhood· The Reunion· The Ones Who Came Before Us· When Women Circle· Your Constellation of Sisters· Calling in Your SistersPart VI - Doing the Work· What Is Rising in You?· Rising Feminine Archetypes· New World RIsing Birthed by You· Let the Universe Use You· Be a Clear Channel· A Prayer for Times of Remembering· It''s Not Your Job to Save the World · Keep on Rising“I’m a super-fan of Rebecca Campbell... Rebecca guides her reader to step into their authentic power so that they can live and lead at their highest potential.”– Gabrielle Bernstein, New York Times bestselling author of Miracles NowRise Sister Rise is a transmission that calls the innate divine feminine wisdom to rise. It is about healing the insecurities, the fears, and the inherited patterns that stop people from trusting the Shakti (power) and wisdom (intuition) that effortlessly flows through them.It''s about recognizing all of the ways we have been keeping ourselves contained and restrained in effort to dim to fit into a certain archetype. It’s about co-creating a whole new archetype – someone who does not keep themself small in order to make others feel more comfortable.Full of activations, spiritual tools, calls to action, contemplative questions, rituals, and confrontational exercises, this inspirational book teaches that it is safe to let Shakti rise, safe to trust your intuition, and safe to take leaps of faith – because in healing ourselves we are healing the world.“You have an ancient wisdom within you that is waiting for you to remember, hear, and heed it. These Rise Sister Rise calls to action have been carefully designed to assist you in reclaiming your voice, unbinding your power, unlocking your wisdom, unleashing your true nature, and aligning yourselves with the sacred flow of all of Life.”Rise Sister Rise.Love, Rebecca x

By Your Side: My Life Loving Barbara Windsor - Scott Mitchell

''I''m so glad you had the life you did, Barbara. I''m sorry you can''t remember, but my God, what a life! You haven''t wasted a minute of it...''In December 2020, while the world was gripped with news of an imminent third lockdown, Scott Mitchell was visiting the care home where his partner and wife of 27 years - Dame Barbara Windsor - was being looked after. At the age of 83, after a career spanning seven decades and a seven-year battle with the debilitating effects of dementia, she was slipping away.Barbara''s illness meant she could no longer remember her magical career, and so Scott sat by her bedside in her final days, telling her tales from their extraordinary life together. From the unlikely moment they met to the challenges they faced, and the highs and lows of a life shared in the limelight. For theirs was an incredibly passionate relationship, but also a turbulent one - and along with a life of love and laughter, together they endured the pressures of fame, drink and addiction, heartbreak and ultimately dementia. He told Barbara stories of her wonderful achievements on and off screen, and the people who altered the trajectory of her life. From nine enormously successful and much-loved Carry On films to more than twenty years in Albert Square with the role of Peggy Mitchell. From director Joan Littlewood handpicking her for Sparrows Can''t Sing and her first husband Ronnie Knight and his links to the Kray twins, to her friendships with Sid James, Kenneth Williams and more.Weaving together an old-fashioned love story, a glittering life of showbiz and the true cost of dementia, By Your Side is a treasure trove for all of us who grew up watching and loving Dame Barbara. From the madness and the mayhem, the glorious highs and the devastating lows, to the fantastic fun she and Scott had along the way - this is an intimate, honest and incredibly personal account of a life spent loving Babs; a warm, colourful and heartfelt celebration of her rich, varied and remarkable life from the man who knew her best.
