**PAPERBACK FEATURES NEW CONTENT. NOW WITH AFTERWORD AND READING GROUP QUESTIONS** A compelling and courageous memoir forcing the legal profession to confront uncomfortable truths about race and class. Alexandra Wilson is a bold and vital voice. This is a book that urgently needs to be read by everyone inside, and outside, the justice system. THE SECRET BARRISTER A riveting book in the best tradition of courtroom dramas but from the fresh perspective of a young female mixed-race barrister. That Alexandra is often mistaken for the defendant shows how important her presence at the bar really is. MATT RUDD, THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINEAlexandra Wilson was a teenager when her dear family friend Ayo was stabbed on his way home from football. Ayo s death changed Alexandra. She felt compelled to enter the legal profession in search of answers. As a junior criminal and family law barrister, Alexandra finds herself navigating a world and a set of rules designed by a privileged few. A world in which fellow barristers sigh with relief when a racist judge retires: I ve got a black kid today and he would have had no hope . In her debut book, In Black and White, Alexandra re-creates the tense courtroom scenes, the heart-breaking meetings with teenage clients, and the moments of frustration and triumph that make up a young barrister s life. Alexandra shows us how it feels to defend someone who hates the colour of your skin, or someone you suspect is guilty. We see what it is like for children coerced into county line drug deals and the damage that can be caused when we criminalise teenagers. Alexandra s account of what she has witnessed as a young mixed-race barrister is in equal parts shocking, compelling, confounding and powerful. An inspirational, clear-eyed account of life as a junior barrister is made all the more exceptional by the determination, passion, humanity and drive of the author. Anyone interested in seeing how the law really works should read it. SARAH LANGFORD This is the story of a young woman who overcame all the obstacles a very old profession could throw at her, and she survived, with her integrity intact. BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH Wilson offers a role model for those who still think the law is for other people, and shows the way for English courts to become ever less Dickensian.

Ako kvapky vody sú poviedky, z ktorých pozostáva Portrét Alexandra. Každá zrkadlí vlastný príbeh, ale spolu vytvárajú prúd spoločného plynutia času od konca devätnásteho storočia až po súčasnosť. Čas vo vnútri jednotlivých textov sa neraz skrúti do protipohybu, vráti na scénu vedľajšiu postavu alebo inak zmieša prítomnosť s minulosťou — barónsku nadradenosť s tajomstvom falzifikátu, víťaza prvých motocyklových pretekov s jeho poslednou milenkou, podvedeného emigranta s budúcim premiérom či amputovanú nohu s Van Goghovým odrezaným uchom.To hlavné je však rozprávanie o ubiehaní Alexandrovho života, ktorý koreňmi čiastočne siaha do vymretého aristokratického rodu, on sám je však priemerný človek dneška, ktorý nič významné nedosiahol, hoci sa o to pokúšal. Aj preto nostalgická konfrontácia toho akí sme boli, o čom sme snívali, s tým, čo sme urobili a kam sme dospeli, je v knihe neustále prítomná.Portrét Alexandra je fragmentárny neromán o pominuteľnosti a o náhodách, ktoré sa stávajú osudom. Je mozaikou skomponovanou z rozhodujúcich okamihov Alexandrovho života, ktorým často nerozumel, keď sa mu diali, z jeho najintímnejších spomienok, ale aj z toho, čo sám nezažil, z paralelných príbehov ľudí, ktorí mu skrížili cestu. Všetky postavy v knihe vlastne tvoria Portrét Alexandra. „Tých na druhom brehu rovnako pri sebe cítim ako tých, ktorých vidím očami,“ hovorí príznačne jeden z Alexandrových predkov, potulný maliar Benický.

In a mix of memoir, fashion history and social observation I am writing about the person our clothes allows us to be and sometimes the person they turn us into. #39; - Alexandra ShulmanIn Clothes... and other things that matter, Alexandra Shulman delves into her own life to look at the emotions, ambitions, expectations and meanings behind the way we dress.From the bra to the bikini, the trench coat to trainers, the slip dress to the suit, she explores their meaning in women #39;s lives and how our wardrobes intersect with the larger world - the career ladder, motherhood, romance, sexual identity, ambition, failure, body image and celebrity.By turns funny, refreshingly self-deprecating and often very moving, this startlingly honest memoir from the ex-Editor of British Vogue will encourage women of all ages to consider what their own clothes mean to them, the life they live in them and the stories they tell.

Virginia Woolfová patří k literárním ikonám dvacátého století: málokdo měl na vývoj moderní prózy větší vliv než ona. Proč tomu tak je, ukazuje výmluvně přední britská kulturní historička Alexandra Harrisová. Její nové biografii Virginie Woolfové se v anglofonních zemích dostalo nadšeného kritického přijetí i mimořádného čtenářského ohlasu, zejména díky autorčině schopnosti barvitě a srozumitelně vykreslit Woolfové život i dobu a skrze živý detail přiblížit její geniální literární dílo. Těm, kdož Woolfovou neznají, nabízí Alexandra Harrisová čtivý úvod do spisovatelčina díla, znalcům modernistické spisovatelky pak neotřelé a novátorské interpretace jejích velkých děl, založené na důkladné znalosti předmětu. Alexandra Harrisová (1981) vystudovala anglistiku na Oxfordu; v současnosti přednáší na University of Liverpool. Kritická biografie Virginie Woolfové je její druhou knihou; její literárněhistorický debut Romantic Moderns získal řadu ocenění, mj. prestižní cenu The Guardian First Book Award za rok 2010.

With rich illustration, it spans Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s earliest projects in the 1950s right through to The Floating Piers, installed at Lake Iseo, Italy, in 2016. The book celebrates all of the couple’s most famous environmental interventions, such as The Gates in New York’s Central Park and the Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, while also featuring early drawings and family photos unknown to the wider public. The artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude began their collaboration in 1961, and lived in New York City since 1964. Jeanne-Claude died in 2009; Christo died in 2020. Their large-scale projects include Wrapped Coast, Australia, 1968–69; Valley Curtain, Rifle, Colorado, 1970–72; Running Fence, Sonoma and Marin Counties, California, 1972–76; Surrounded Islands, Biscayne Bay, Florida, 1980–83; The Pont Neuf Wrapped, Paris, 1975–85; The Umbrellas, Japan–USA, 1984–91; Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin, 1971–95; Wrapped Trees, Riehen, Switzerland, 1997–98; The Gates, Central Park, New York City, 1979–2005; The Floating Piers, Lake Iseo, Italy, 2014–16, The London Mastaba, Serpentine Lake, Hyde Park, 2016–18, and L Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, Paris, 1961–2021.

The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt: Empire, Disease, and Modernity in French Colonial Vietnam tells the darkly humorous story of the French colonial state s failed efforts to impose its vision of modernity upon the colonial city of Hanoi, Vietnam. Part of the Graphic Histories series, this book offers a case study in the history of imperialism, highlighting the racialized economic inequalities of empire, colonization as a form of modernization, and industrial capitalism s creation of a radical power differential between the West and the rest. On a deeper level, The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt examines the contradictions unique to the French Third Republic s colonial civilizing mission, the development of Vietnamese resistance to French rule, and the history of disease. Featuring forty-nine primary sources--many available in English for the first time--and three full-color maps, The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt illustrates the ironic and tragic ways in which modernization projects can have unintended consequences.

Named to the Civil Eats 2025 Food and Farming Holiday Book Gift Guide How we can meet the challenges of our age by moving away from the political and economic philosophies of both the left and right to a more equitable re-organization of society, economy, land and food production, driven by the local community rather than a central government. Today, society and government are still asking what our country can yield, and in what quantity. They do so because in a sense we are still living in conquest-based societies. Agrarian thinker Chris Smaje opens this book by drawing an arresting modern parallel to Viking raiding, trading and enslaving societies and the Ragnarok they faced then of dramatic climate change and societal collapse. So, to meet these modern crises, Chris asks us to look beyond the current discourse of capitalism versus chaos, and indeed the dualism of â ˜state versus marketâ ™ and the â ˜state with the marketâ ™, both of which has failed us. Instead, Chris explores a world where we live slower lives more immersed in local ecologies. Where our present Viking age has inflicted a thorough alienation from place and local livelihood, Chris proposes other models of collective organization, where land and capital are seen as a common good that involves a widespread and secure redistribution. These ideas are the basic principles associated with distributism â “ broadly, that issues should be dealt with at the most immediate or local level feasible and governance, wherever possible, should be bottom-up. There should also be a moral economy founded in ideals of justice. Work and production should rest on commitments struck in a community rather than deals in a market. There should be a concept of shared common good, of what life is for. Ultimately, we should build a sense of future possibility around local ecological societies dedicated to human and ecological wellbeing. Much of the global damage to the environment has arisen not because people were there in the landscape, but because they werenâ ™t. Itâ ™s time to hospice modernity and build a green Earth rising. In this book, Chris discusses what this society and landscape might look like in the near future and longer term.

Accompanying an exhibition that will be the first to investigate the depiction ?of rural figures by one of the most admired British watercolorists of the 19th century, William Henry Hunt. Taking its lead from W.H. Huntâ ™s watercolor The Head Gardener, c. 1825, that is part of The Courtauld Galleryâ ™s permanent collection, this focused display will be first to investigate Huntâ ™s depiction of rural figures in his work of the 1820s and 1830s. Consisting of twenty drawings borrowed from collections across the United Kingdom, William Henry Hunt: Country People will bring together watercolors depicting country people in their working or living environments, from farmer and gamekeeper to stonebreaker and gleaner. The representation of these country men, women and children, closely observed, raises questions about their status and way of life at a time of rapid agricultural and social change. These profound changes are also reflected in the literature of the period. William Henry Hunt was one of the most admired watercolorists of the 19th century. Better known as â ˜Birdâ ™s Nest Huntâ ™ for his intricate still lives of flowers, fruit and birdsâ ™ eggs, he exhibited prolifically at the Old Water Colour Society. His works were sought after by collectors, notably John Ruskin, a serious champion of his work.â ™

Kniha - autor Jonáš Jasen, 320 stran, slovensky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Ako kvapky vody sú poviedky, z ktorých pozostáva Portrét Alexandra. Každá zrkadlí vlastný príbeh, ale spolu vytvárajú prúd spoločného plynutia času od konca devätnásteho storočia až po súčasnosť. Čas vo vnútri jednotlivých textov sa neraz skrúti do protipohybu, vráti na scénu vedľajšiu postavu alebo inak zmieša prítomnosť s minulosťou — barónsku nadradenosť s tajomstvom falzifikátu, víťaza prvých motocyklových pretekov s jeho poslednou milenkou, podvedeného emigranta s budúcim premiérom či amputovanú nohu s Van Goghovým odrezaným uchom. To hlavné je však rozprávanie o ubiehaní Alexandrovho života, ktorý koreňmi čiastočne siaha do vymretého aristokratického rodu, on sám je však priemerný človek dneška, ktorý nič významné nedosiahol, hoci sa o to pokúšal. Aj preto nostalgická konfrontácia toho akí sme boli, o čom sme snívali, s tým, čo sme urobili a kam sme dospeli, je v knihe neustále...

Básnická sbírka Alexandry Brockové Číhat na mech je sebevědomým debutem. Promyšleně komponovaná kniha nenápadně vrací do současné české poezie vysoký básnický styl. Brocková ráda střídá pestré formální rejstříky: od vznešeného patosu k „mileniálsky“ potutelné větě. Nebojí se spájet vysoké s nízkým, jistou „učenost“ s rozpustilostí, pozorování nepostřehnutelných dějů a bytostí, rostlin, ptactva i živlů s precizní básnickou formou. Brocková mluví za věci i živé bytosti, nikdy není povýšená, vždy je účastná. Lidstvo vnímá jako jednoho z mnoha tvorů obývajících Zemi a s delikátní ironií glosuje jeho absurdní hemžení. Jako by v jejím pohledu současná civilizace byla přehlídkou zvolna se rozpadajících památek-ruin, o kterých autorka jako užaslý cestovatel podává zprávu. V poezii Alexandry Brockové je možné zakusit to, co Petr Král nazýval „rozdýcháním vjemu“ – schopnost rozehrát zjitřený počitek či stav, který se při čtení doslova rozklene před očima.

Už máte dost? Skvěle. Tahle kniha je právě pro vás. Nechce se vám na večírek? Nechoďte. Nemáte náladu být milí? Nemusíte. Alexandra Reinwarth vám s brutální upřímností a humorem ukáže, jak si pročistit život – od lidí, věcí i pravidel, která vám lezou krkem. Zasmějete se. Uleví se vám. A možná konečně přestanete mít výčitky za to, že jste „jen“ sami sebou. Protože víte co? Všichni vám můžou. Hlavně že vám je skvěle. Všichni chtějí, abyste byli hodní, ochotní, spolehliví. Vyhovující. Nápomocní. Ticho trpící. Tak dlouho, až z toho jednoho dne prasknete. Alexandra Reinwarth to udělala jinak – řekla „ne“, když to bylo třeba, a přestala se bát, co si o ní kdo pomyslí. V knize Všichni mi můžete… Hlavně, že mně je skvěle otevřeně mluví o situacích, kdy bychom si zasloužili medaili jen za to, že jsme se nerozbrečeli. A místo další rady, jak to „vydržet“, nabízí nový přístup: vykašlat se na to. S nadhledem, humorem a chutí do života. Konečně zjistíte, co všechno můžete s klidným srdcem pustit k vodě – od nepohodlných džín až po lidi, kteří Vám neustále kradou energii. Nečekejte ezoteriku, ani další motivační výkřiky o tom, jak „být lepší verzí sebe sama“. Tohle je drsná, lidská a k smíchu i pláči upřímná knížka o tom, že občas stačí přestat – a dýchá se líp.

The dazzlingly brilliant Chris Riddell brings his magical illustration talents to J.K. Rowling s gloriously inventive The Tales of Beedle the Bard in a fully illustrated colour edition of this essential classic for Harry Potter fans. Translated from the runes by Hermione Granger, the volume includes The Tale of the Three Brothers , familiar to readers of Harry Potter from the crucial role it played in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Mischievous and witty, these five rollicking tales are a deeply satisfying read in the tradition of all great fables and fairytales.

In 1930, as a young woman, Christa Schroeder became a stenographer for the Nazi party, before being noticed by Hitler who, in 1933, hired her as his private secretary. Schroeder remained by Hitler⠙s side, fiercely loyal, for twelve years, living at the Wolfsschanze and even joining him and his staff in the Führerbunker in Berlin in January 1945. In 1945, interned in the Augsburg camp, Christa Schroeder was interrogated by French liaison officer Albert Zoller who asked her to recount her years spent with the Führer.

Traditionally ascribed to the early third-century BCE tragedian Lykophron, the Alexandra is a powerful Greek poem by an unknown author, probably written c. 190, when Rome had defeated Hannibal and the Carthaginians and was poised to humble the Seleukid king Antiochos III. The poem is an ingeniously constructed masterpiece, a generic mix with elements of tragedy, epic, and history.Priam s beautiful daughter, the prophetic Kassandra, foresees her rape in Athena s temple by the hateful Greek warrior Ajax after Troy s fall, and warns of disastrous returns (nostoi) for all the Greek heroes . But Troy will rise again as Rome, founded by Trojan refugees. Alexandra (another name for Kassandra), narrates these Mediterranean foundation myths, adopting a bitterly disillusioned female perspective, but culminating in prophecies of Roman rule over land and sea.
