Night Ship - Jess Kiddová

Based on a true story, an epic historical novel from the award-winning author of Things in Jars that illuminates the lives of two characters: a girl shipwrecked on an island off Western Australia and, three hundred years later, a boy finding a home with his grandfather on the very same island.1629: A newly orphaned young girl named Mayken is bound for the Dutch East Indies on the Batavia, one of the greatest ships of the Dutch Golden Age. Curious and mischievous, Mayken spends the long journey going on misadventures above and below the deck, searching for a mythical monster. But the true monsters might be closer than she thinks. 1989: A lonely boy named Gil is sent to live off the coast of Western Australia among the seasonal fishing community where his late mother once resided. There, on the tiny reef-shrouded island, he discovers the story of an infamous shipwreck… With her trademark “thrilling, mysterious, twisted, but more than anything, beautifully written” (Graham Norton, New York Times bestselling author) storytelling, Jess Kidd weaves “a true work of magic” (V.E. Schwab, author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue) about friendship, sacrifice, brutality, and forgiveness.

Kniha túžob - Sue Monk Kiddová

Fascinujúci príbeh o odvekých snoch a túžbach a o sile ženy zmeniť svet.„Som Ana. Bola som manželkou Ježiša, syna Jozefa Nazaretského.“ Takto sa začína fiktívny životopis Ježišovej družky, hoci o jej existencii Biblia neprináša žiadne správy. Príbeh sa odvíja od roku 16 nášho letopočtu, keď v Galilei vládli Rimania. Ana vyrastá v zámožnej židovskej rodine. Je to múdre dievča s rebelskými názormi a bystrým umom. Na rozdiel od iných vtedajších žien sa naučí čítať a písať, študuje Tóru a tajne píše o životoch zabudnutých žien Starého zákona, ktoré veľmi trpeli: o Eve, Sáre, Rebeke, Ráchel a Rút. Keď dovŕši štrnásť rokov, chcú ju vydať za starého vdovca. Pri stretnutí na trhu si Ana zdesene uvedomí, aký život ju čaká po boku tohto muža. Neznámy mladík s tmavými zvlnenými vlasmi a nežnými očami vycíti jej zúfalstvo a pomôže jej. Táto udalosť od základu zmení Anin život a dá mu nové smerovanie.Autorka neuveriteľne citlivo a vierohodne prepožičala hlas žene z úsvitu nášho letopočtu, o ktorej existencii máme len matné predstavy. Jej názory sú v úplnom protiklade s vtedajším chápaním mužskej a ženskej roly. Ana objavuje samu seba v časoch, keď sa ženy nesmeli učiť čítať ani písať. Ide za svojimi túžbami, bojuje za svoju slobodu i právo na rovnocennú lásku a nanovo prepisuje biblický príbeh, ktorý všetci poznáme.Sue Monk Kiddová chcela ukázať Ježiša ako človeka z mäsa a kostí a postavila mu po boku citlivú a vzdelanú ženu. Spoločne rozširujú svoje duchovné obzory a žijú v láske a porozumení, kým sa Ježišov osud, ako všetci vieme, tragicky nenaplní.

Americké konspirace - Jesse Ventura, Russell Dick

V tomto výbušném výčtu zločinů a následných maskovacích operací, nabízí Jesse Ventura svým čtenářům odlišný pohled na příběhy, které většina z nás buď slyšela nebo o nich četla v učebnicích historie. Obzvláště ho zajímá ten propastný rozdíl mezi tím, co všechno Americký státní sektor má za informace, a tím co je prezentováno běžným lidem. Ale i média jsou v zatajování reálné historie nápomocna, neboť často odmítají pohlížet na věci z odlišných úhlů pohledu, nebo dokonce aktivně umlčují hlasy lidí, kteří nesouhlasí s názorem širší veřejnosti. Jesse se tedy blíže podívá na všechny ty teorie, které byly během uplynulých let prezentovány, pohlédne jak na pravdu tak i na lži. Bývalý guvernér Ventura se pravdy nebojí. Jak sám říká: "Když je mi k něčemu odepřen přístup, nenechám se zastrašit, právě naopak - Naštve mne to." Ve své knize Americká spiknutí, se pouští do hledání odpovědí na otázky: - Proč se tvrdí, že J. F. Kennedy byl zastřelen zezadu, když je na první pohled vidět, že mu kulka trhla hlavou prudce dozadu? - Je pravdou, že banda zlodějů v aféře Watergate úmyslně zpackala své vloupání, a to na základě pokynů CIA? - Jakým způsobem pomohlo použití elektronických hlasovacích přístrojů, Republikánské straně zvítězit ve dvou - a dokonce skoro ve třech - volbách? - Zda mohly pouhé dva Boeingy 757, strhnout toho osudného jedenáctého září onu dvojici mrakodrapů WTC, a to takovým způsobem, že se roztavila jejich nosná ocelová konstrukce, a že byly v sutinách podzemní požáry ještě více jak tři měsíce po celé katastrofě? - Co je pravdy na prohlášení Americké vlády z roku 2008, že některé korporace jsou "Too big to fail" (Příliš velké, než aby jim mohlo být dovoleno zbankrotovat), a že tedy musejí býti zachráněny, aby nedošlo k ekonomickému kolapsu? - A také se podívá na postupné rozbourávání konceptu občanských svobod, a ukáže vám, jak je toto možné použít pro zavedení stanného práva. Možná, že nebudete věřit všemu, co se v knize Americká spiknutí dočtete, ale alespoň vás tato knížka donutí se hlouběji zamyslet nad všemi těmi věcmi, kterým momentálně věříte. JESSE VENTURA je bývalý guvernér státu Minnesota a autor několika bestsellerů a také má vlastní televizní show Konspirační Teorie (na kanálu TruTV). Žije ve státě Minnesota ale také v Mexiku. DICK RUSSELL je držitel ocenění od společnosti Chevron, ale také autor již deseti knižních titulů, mezi kterými je i jeho předchozí spolupráce s Jesse Venturou, pod názvem Don't start the revolution without me!

The Ghost Ship of Brooklyn - Robert Watson

The most horrific struggle of the American Revolution occurred just 100 yards off New York, where more men died aboard a rotting prison ship than were lost to combat during the entirety of the war. Moored off the coast of Brooklyn until the end of the war, the derelict ship, the HMS Jersey, was a living hell for thousands of Americans either captured by the British or accused of disloyalty. Crammed below deck -- a shocking one thousand at a time -- without light or fresh air, the prisoners were scarcely fed food and water. Disease ran rampant and human waste fouled the air as prisoners suffered mightily at the hands of brutal British and Hessian guards. Throughout the colonies, the mere mention of the ship sparked fear and loathing of British troops. It also sparked a backlash of outrage as newspapers everywhere described the horrors onboard the ghostly ship. This shocking event, much like the better-known Boston Massacre before it, ended up rallying public support for the war. Revealing for the first time hundreds of accounts culled from old newspapers, diaries, and military reports, award-winning historian Robert P. Watson follows the lives and ordeals of the ship''s few survivors to tell the astonishing story of the cursed ship that killed thousands of Americans and yet helped secure victory in the fight for independence.

Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank? - Robin Gardiner

In 1912 the unthinkable happened - the supposedly unsinkable Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg, or so it was thought. In this bestselling book author Robin Gardiner claims that it was not in fact the Titanic but the sister ship, the Olympic, which finished its days sinking in the icy waters of the North Atlantic on that fateful night. His contention is that what happened was an insurance scam perpetrated by the White Star line which may have involved the possible collusion by the British government in the cover-up. On 20 September 1911, the Olympic was involved in a collision with the Royal Navy Warship HMS Hawke in Southampton Water. Olympic was found to be to blame in the collision. Because of this finding, White Star''s insurers allegedly refused to pay out on the claim. As this would amount to a serious financial loss for the company, it is alleged that, to make sure at least one vessel would be earning money, the badly damaged Olympic was patched up and then converted to become the Titanic. The real Titanic when complete would then quietly enter service as the Olympic. To dispose of the Olympic, which had allegedly been damaged beyond economic repair in a way that would allow White Star to collect the full insured value of a brand new ship, the plan was to open the seacocks at sea to slowly flood the ship. Numerous ships were stationed nearby to take off the passengers, the shortage of lifeboats would not matter as the ship would sink slowly and the boats could make several trips to the rescuers. The controversy which this theory has generated, and some of the evidence used to support it is compelling, has made this book into a bestseller in the years since it was first published. Regardless of whether you choose to believe in this version of the events that took place on that terrible night in 1912, which still resonate so strongly well over a century afterwards, Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank? is a fascinating, well written and absorbing read.

Everywoman - Jess Phillips

SHORTLISTED FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY BOOK AWARDS‘Jess Phillips writes like she talks: brilliantly. Her humour and passion shine through every page. Loved it.’ ROBERT WEBB_____________________If you’re thinking, ‘Jess who?’ then I’m glad that there was something about ‘Everywoman’ and ‘truth’ that caught your eye.Or you might already know me as that gobby MP who has a tendency to shout about the stuff I care about. Because I’m a woman with a cause, I have been called a feminazi witch, a murderer and threatened with rape. The internet attracts a classy crowd. So, speaking the truth isn’t always easy but I believe it’s worth it. And I want you to believe it too. The truth can be empowering, the truth can lead to greater equality, and the world would be incredibly boring if we let all of those people who allegedly know everything, say everything. By demanding to be heard, by dealing with our imposter syndrome, by being cheerleaders, doers not sayers, creating our own networks and by daring to believe that we can make a difference, we can. We’re women and we’re kick-ass. And that’s the truth._____________________''Joyfully candid and very funny.'' Guardian''Jess Phillips knows the truth . . . and here she shows how scary and sad as well as joyful and liberating the answers can be.'' Damian Barr''Everywoman has all the laughs [of Lena Dunham and Caitlin Moran] with a backbone of real glinting anger . . .there were so many funny and wise things on each page that whittling them down into a review seemed impossible.''

The Death Ship - Victoria Brown

Death is a topic we often avoid talking about, but in The Death Ship Victoria Brown faces it head on, taking a deep dive into the fate of Titanic’s victims: how did they die? How did their bodies decompose? Were their bodies recovered and buried? What happened to the bodies that went down with the ship?And what of Titanic’s legacy? Here, Brown explores the proposed legislative changes, salvage proposals and surge of interest the wreck received shortly after the disaster, alongside the contemporary controversy surrounding the wreck as a shipwreck versus a gravesite.The Death Ship is a fascinating, at times shocking, examination of the ill-fated souls who tragically lost their lives that day – a crucial but seldom told part of Titanic’s enduring story. It also gives recognition to the people of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada, whose unwavering dedication ensured those who died were properly taken care of.

The Ship Asunder - Tom Nancollas

A Sunday Times Book of the Year ''Three and a half millennia of British Maritime history, from the Middle Bronze Age to the early 20th century ... This book is written with passion and sympathy. It will live with me for a very long time'' Francis Pryor, author of The FensIf Britain''s maritime history were embodied in a single ship, she would have a prehistoric prow, a mast plucked from a Victorian steamship, the hull of a modest fishing vessel, the propeller of an ocean liner and an anchor made of stone. We might call her Asunder, and, fantastical though she is, we could in fact find her today, scattered in fragments across the country''s creeks and coastlines. In his moving and original new history, Tom Nancollas goes in search of eleven relics that together tell the story of Britain at sea. From the swallowtail prow of a Bronze Age vessel to a stone ship moored at a Baroque quayside, each one illuminates a distinct phase of our adventures upon the waves; each brings us close to the people, places and vessels that made a maritime nation. Weaving together stories of great naval architects and unsung shipwrights, fishermen and merchants, shipwrecks and superstition, pilgrimage, trade and war, The Ship Asunder celebrates the richness of Britain''s seafaring tradition in all its glory and tragedy, triumph and disaster, and asks how we might best memorialize it as it vanishes from our shores.

Ships’ Figureheads - Andrew Peters

Over centuries past, powerful nations and empires have expressed their might and control in part through the strength of their navies and their industrial and commercial prowess through fleets of vessels whether powered by sail or later steam. The desire to add ornamentation to even the most utilitarian of objects is evident throughout history, and ships were no exception. The task to create decorative forms that became part of a functional object was for the shipping industry the job of the ship''s carver; a profession that demanded artistic ability together with a knowledge of the functional requirements of the vessel. When decoration was applied to a military vessel, it was for the purpose of presenting an overwhelming sense of indomitable strength. Imagery taken from biblical texts or ancient myths and legends provided heroic figures that not only emphasised power, but also established the political and theological ideology that each nation wished to uphold or impose.Written by a professional ship''s carver who has restored many figureheads, this book reveals the skills and stories behind the profession and some of the primary families - the Hellyers and the Dickersons - back to the 18th century. Originally from Hampshire, the Hellyer family carved figureheads for the Royal Naval yard at Portsmouth, whilst the Dickerson family carved for the Royal Naval yard at Plymouth. Following generations set up carving workshops at many of the London yards, and as ship building moved north, they also set up in Tyneside and Scotland. In all they carved over 350 figureheads for the Royal Navy plus many for merchant yards. The smaller Dickerson family remained in Plymouth carving over 220 figures.Ships'' Figureheads reveals information about these and other carving families, providing a socio-historic account of the times and in so doing an insight into the world they inhabited, with an in-depth practical knowledge of their work. Through exhaustive research the author has discovered many of the trials and tribulations experienced by each family, thus giving a sense of who they were, where they lived and how their work was viewed by society. It includes many heart-rending episodes that each family endured helping to bring to life the period in which they lived

Má duše stále hledá domov: Příběh kanadského indiána - Jesse Thistle

Jestli vydržím ještě minutu, mohlo by se mi podařit přežít, mohlo by se mi podařit být něčím lepším než jen zoufalým feťákem.Jesse Thistle, v batolecím věku opuštěný oběma rodiči, se se svými dvěma bratry nakrátko ocitá v pěstounské péči, odříznutý od všeho, co kdy znal. Všechny tři děti se posléze dostanou k otcovým rodičům, jejichž milující, ale tvrdá výchova brzy vyvolá první konflikty. Celý dům i paměť všech členů rodiny navíc bez ustání trýznivě prostupuje duch Jesseho drogově závislého otce. Jesse se ve snaze vyrovnat s minulostí propadá do sebedestruktivního cyklu drogové a alkoholové závislosti a drobných zločinů, v důsledku nichž stráví s krátkými přestávkami víc než deset let na ulici. Teprve pak si uvědomí, že jestli nezačne žít jinak, zemře.Ve svých dojemně lidských, srdceryvných pamětech se Thistle upřímně a nebojácně svěřuje se svou problematickou minulostí, píše o ústrcích, které zažil, i o tom, jak se dozvěděl pravdu o svých rodičích. Díky své vytrvalosti a touze po vzdělání – a také nově nalezené lásce – si našel cestu zpět do kruhu domorodé rodiny a kultury, z níž pochází.Kniha je ale nejen výmluvným líčením následků, které přinášejí předsudky a rasismus – jejím hlavním poselstvím je uvědomění, že láska a podpora nás mohou dovést ke štěstí i navzdory okolnostem.

Jess Dobkin’s Wetrospective - Laura Levin

Taking as its starting point the first-ever retrospective exhibition (2021) of performance art icon Jess Dobkin, the book reflects on the internationally acclaimed artist’s playful and provocative practice as performer, activist, curator, and community leader. At the same time, it grapples with a question that is vital for art and performance studies: How do archives perform?More than a discrete showing of a single artist’s work, the exhibition, including its new staging in book form, is a large-scale research experiment in performance curation, investigating what it might mean for art institutions to take seriously the embodied and communal nature of performance art in their practices of archiving and museological display. In Jess Dobkin’s Wetrospective, a cast of renowned international performance theorists and artists dive into this exploration alongside Dobkin, curator Emelie Chhangur, and performance theorist and dramaturg Laura Levin. These contributions appear alongside a riot of full colour photographs, providing access to Dobkin’s celebrated artistic productions from the last 30 years.
