Hitler’s career remains one of the most extraordinary in world history. No one else has gone from sleeping on park benches to become a world leader. After the First World War he became involved in extremist politics – first on the far left and then the far right. It is often assumed that Hitler’s ambitions were never realistic and his failure was inevitable. This book challenges that view and suggests a number of missed opportunities or misjudgements that might have led to a different result. Michael FitzGerald shows how Hitler’s personal defects contributed considerably to Germany’s defeat. In addition to the military mistakes he made a series of political, economic and foreign policy blunders were major factors in his failure to achieve his goals.

Published five years after his stunning 1920 debut, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby established F. Scott Fitzgerald as one of the most important writers of his generation. Its unforgettable characters, poetic prose, and large themes - money, class, and American optimism - have an enduring fascination and make The Great Gatsby a frequent candidate for ''the Great American novel.'' Drawn from the authoritative Library of America edition of Fitzgerald''s collected writings, this deluxe paperback (which features French flaps and deckle-edge paper) presents a new, corrected text of The Great Gatsby by pre-eminent Fitzgerald scholar James L. W. West III. The Library of America text corrects errors, restores Fitzgerald''s preferred American spellings, and incorporates emendations the author made on galley proofs and in his personal copy of the book. Fitzgerald''s masterpiece is joined here by four contemporary stories - the ''Gatsby cluster'' - in which he explored variations on the theme of desperate longing for an unattainable someone or something: ''Winter Dreams,'' ''The Rich Boy,'' ''Absolution,'' and ''Rags Martin-Jones and the Pr-nce of W-les.''

The Beautiful and Damned, F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel, tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1920s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune. Anthony and his wife Gloria are young and gorgeous, rich and leisured, and dedicate their lives to the reckless pursuit of happiness. But this intimate story turns tragic, as their marriage disintegrates under the weight of their expectations, dissipation, jealousy and aimlessness. Fitzgerald skilfully portrays the east-coast elite as the Jazz Age begins its ascent, engulfing all classes into what will soon be known as Cafe Society. As with all of Fitzgerald's novels, it is a brilliant character study written in breathtaking prose. It is also a gripping account of the complexities of marriage, largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship with his wife, Zelda.

Written during his tumultuous Hollywood years, a collection of seventeen razor-sharp tales from literary legend F. Scott Fitzgerald, where humor and heartbreak collide through the eyes of a once-successful screenwriter.A fascinating study in self-satire, Fitzgerald pulls back the curtain on the glitz, chaos, and absurdity of the Hollywood movie industry through the eyes of Pat Hobby, a washed-up screenwriter clinging desperately to his faded dreams. Pat’s misadventures offer an entertaining glimpse into the life of a man caught between ambition and reality. Set in 1930s Hollywood—a place where lunchroom gossip held more power than the scripts themselves—Pat’s world is one of desperation and hustle. Once a celebrated writer, he’s now a forgotten relic, scraping by on odd jobs and half-baked schemes. With a drink in one hand and a sarcastic quip in the other, Pat navigates the industry with a blend of cunning and futility. “This was not art, this was an industry,” Pat himself quips, capturing the soul of a system where creativity often takes a backseat to profit. Originally published in Esquire from 1939 to 1940, these stories were born from Fitzgerald’s own struggles as a Hollywood writer. His experiences at Universal Studios shaped every wry line and ...

Only now are we beginning to appreciate what was lost’ The PoolI'd Die for You is a collection of the last remaining unpublished short stories by F.

All eighteen short fictions collected here were lost in one sense or another: physically lost, coming to light only recently; lost in the turbulence of Fitzgerald's later life; lost to readers because his editors sometimes did not understand what he was trying to write.

While F. Scott Fitzgerald was writing the novels we remember him for today, he was also publishing short stories in popular magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post and Esquire. Although many of Fitzgerald''s short stories are celebrated and anthologised today, more remain out of print than would be expected for a writer of his stature. Some of these forgotten stories deserve to be rediscovered by the many readers who love Fitzgerald''s work. Sarah Churchwell, author of the acclaimed Careless People: Murder, Mayhem and the Invention of The Great Gatsby, has selected twelve forgotten stories from throughout Fitzgerald''s career that refract, in different ways, his most familiar motifs: the changing meanings of America in the first decades of the twentieth century, and the desire to reconcile rich and poor through a romantic search for glamour, hope and wonder. Each of these stories offers a riff on the theme of America, a world we have lost, but can hear echoes of in Fitzgerald''s characteristically rich, vivid prose.

''I tender these tales of the Jazz Age into the hands of those who read as they run and run as they read.'' Tales of the Jazz Age (1922) was Fitzgerald''s second collection of short stories, and it contains some of the best examples of his talent as a writer of short fiction. Often overshadowed by his major novels, Fitzgerald''s short stories demonstrate the same originality and inventive range, as he chronicles with wry and astute observation the temper of the hedonistic 1920s. In ''May Day'' and ''The Diamond as Big as the Ritz'', two of his greatest stories, he conjures up the spirit of the age; in other stories he adopts a variety of forms - parody, a one-act play, fantasy - with unrivalled versatility.

I když se to jeví jako absurdní, je neoddiskutovatelné, že víra v nadpřirozeno k nacistickému „projektu“ skutečně patřila.

Erik Kurlander ukazuje, že vztah třetí říše k nadpřirozenu nebyl zdaleka jednoznačný. Přestože nacisté na jedné straně opakovaně zakazovali a potírali lidový okultismus a projevy pověrečného myšlení, na druhé straně z nich ochotně čerpali, aby s jejich pomocí získali nad masami moc, použili je v propagandě a realizovali své sny o rasové „utopii“.

His version of Omar is neither a translation nor an independent poem; sceptical of divine providence and insistent on the pleasure of the passing moment, its ''Orientalism'' offers FitzGerald a powerful and distinctive voice, in whose accents a whole Victorian generation comes to life.

''The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'' sees a baby born in 1860 begin life as an old man and then age backwards. F. Scott Fitzgerald hinted at this kind of inversion when he called his era ''a generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken''. Perhaps nowhere in American fiction has this ''Lost Generation'' been more vividly preserved than in Fitzgerald''s short fiction. Spanning the early twentieth-century American landscape, this collection captures, with Fitzgerald''s signature blend of enchantment and disillusionment, America during the Jazz Age.

''Lie to me by the moonlight. Do a fabulous story.''F. Scott Fitzgerald''s first story collection, Flappers and Philosophers, appeared in 1920 on the heels of his debut novel, This Side of Paradise, and immediately established him as a master of popular fiction. Love stories such as ''The Offshore Pirate'' and ''Head and Shoulders'' capture the spectacle and fantasy of the Jazz Age, celebrating that modern icon of feminine self-possession, the flapper, while comedies of manner like ''Bernice Bobs Her Hair'' and ''The Ice Palace'' showcase Fitzgerald''s eye for humour. In addition to these four classic tales, which first appeared in The Saturday Evening Post , this edition highlights the author''s proficiency with other crowd-pleasing story types: from Gothic fiction (''The Cut-Glass Bowl'') to didactic moral stories (''The Four Fists''), from satire (''Dalyrimple Goes Wrong'') to spiritual quests (''Benediction''), Fitzgerald tried his hand at many genres---and succeeded at all.

* Winner of the 2017 National Book Critics Circle Award * National Book Award Finalist * Time magazine Top 10 Nonfiction Book of the Year * New York Times Notable Book * Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2017 This “epic history” (The Boston Globe) from Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Frances FitzGerald is the first to tell the powerful, dramatic story of the Evangelical movement in America—from the Puritan era to the 2016 election. “We have long needed a fair-minded overview of this vitally important religious sensibility, and FitzGerald has now provided it” (The New York Times Book Review).The evangelical movement began in the revivals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, known in America as the Great Awakenings. A populist rebellion against the established churches, it became the dominant religious force in the country. During the nineteenth century white evangelicals split apart, first North versus South, and then, modernist versus fundamentalist. After World War II, Billy Graham attracted enormous crowds and tried to gather all Protestants under his big tent, but the civil rights movement and the social revolution of the sixties drove them apart again. By the 1980s Jerry Falwell and other southern televangelists, such as Pat Robertson, had formed the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Audiokniha: Velký Gatsby, příběh tragické deziluze Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940), 'autor jazzového věku', dokázal jedinečným způsobem zvěčnit atmosféru prvního poválečného desetiletí v USA. Ve svém nejznámějším románu Gatsby vypráví příběh velké lásky, oslnivého společenského vzestupu i tragické deziluze. 'Začal jsem počítat výdaje své doby dříve, než na ně byly vystaveny účty,' poznamenal Fitzgerald na téma svého zájmu o zpodobení bezstarostného života americké společenské smetánky utrácející jmění na nekonečných večírcích, plných pašovaného prohibičního alkoholu. Dvacátá léta, do nichž vedla cesta přes bojiště první světové války, nastartovala ve Spojených státech období oslnivé konjunktury, které ukončil až krach na newyorské burze v roce 1929. Na začátku 20. let se taky odehrává Fitzgeraldův román Velký Gatsby, který vyšel v roce 1925. Jeho vypravěč, mladý poválečný navrátilec Nick Carraway, přijíždí ze Středozápadu do New Yorku, aby zkusil štěstí jako burzovní makléř. Náhoda ho přivede do podnájmu v sousedství pohádkového sídla tajemného boháče Jaye Gatsbyho, na jehož velkolepé večírky se každý týden sjíždí půlka New Yorku. Aniž zpočátku tuší proč, vzbudí Nick zájem bohatého souseda, a protože má ve zvyku ostatním spíš naslouchat než odporovat, záhy se stane Gatsbyho důvěrníkem. A pak i pomocníkem při pokusu získat zpět milovanou dívku, o kterou ho před pěti lety ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Audiokniha: Povídky Francise Scotta Fitzgeralda jsou psány „lehkým perem“ a s vtipným nadhledem. Nezřídka však balancují na pomezí humoru a tragiky. Pojednávají o životních zkouškách, fiktivních i těch skutečných... Podivuhodný případ Benjamina Buttona je groteskním příběhem muže, jenž se narodil jako stařec a celý život mládne. Setkává se s nepochopením a šťastný je pouze uprostřed života, kdy se jeho biologický a duševní věk protínají. Povídku proslavil oceňovaný hollywoodský film z roku 2008 v režii Davida Finchera, s Bradem Pittem a Cate Blanchettovou v hlavních rolích (viz titulní obrázek). Čte Michal Dlouhý. Dvojici povídek Myslí si, že je báječný a Polapený stín spojuje postava hlavního hrdiny, jímž je patnáctiletý chlapec Basil Duke Lee. Patnáct let – to je hraniční věk mezi dětstvím a dospělostí a právě o úskalích tohoto citlivého období pojednávají obě Fitzgeraldovy povídky. Hrdina se vymezuje vůči kamarádům a hledá sám sebe, svoji důstojnost. Touží po úspěchu, ale při honbě za ním porušuje hranice etiky.

Vítězství je v hlavě zachycuje stěžejní momenty historie vytrvalostních sportů, aby čtenáři přiblížila návyky a taktiky, kterých může využít k rozvíjení vlastní duševní síly.Vrcholoví sportovci svými schopnostmi připomínají bohy. Nicméně nehledě na schopnosti, má i jejich talent jisté hranice. Nejobtížnější závody vyžadují, aby šampion spoléhal nejen na své tělo, ale i na hlavu, protože jen tak může čelit obavám, které známe všichni: například strachu z neúspěchu, strádání či změny.V knize Vítězství je v hlavě známý sportovní novinář Matt Fitzgerald zkoumá „psychobiologický“ model sportovního výkonu s cílem odhalit, jak mohou sportovci překonávat svá fyzická omezení prostřednictvím síly ducha. Poutavým vyprávěním ze světa triatlonu, cyklistiky, běhu, veslování či plavání umožňuje Fitzgerald čtenáři prožívat úžasné závody a vrhá nové světlo na vědecké poznatky týkající se duševní síly a způsobů, jak rozvíjet mentální schopnosti k překonávání výzev – ve sportu i v životě.

Pandora is the first human woman – made by the gods on Olympus for one simple purpose: to love and be loved by her new husband, the titan Epimatheos. The only problem? He wants nothing to do with her. Hurt and confused, Pandora struggles to find meaning in her new life. What's the point of being given all these gifts by the gods, if she can't get this infuriating, awful, frankly very rude man (with an admittedly quite nice face) to love her? Maybe she's failing at her life’s purpose. Or maybe she's destined for an entirely different one . . . ?As Pandora and Matheos work to uncover why she was created, that fated connection between them feels increasingly difficult to ignore.
