A powerful exploration of the human capacity for renewal, as seen through Shakespeare and Freud  “A compellingly readable and intelligent book. . . . Both authors write with impressive energy.”—Rowan Williams, New Statesman  In this fresh investigation, Stephen Greenblatt and Adam Phillips explore how the second chance has been an essential feature of the literary imagination and a promise so central to our existence that we try to reproduce it again and again. Innumerable stories, from the Homeric epics to the New Testament, and from Oedipus Rex to Hamlet, explore the realization or failure of second chances—outcomes that depend on accident, acts of will, or fate. Such stories let us repeatedly rehearse the experience of loss and recovery: to know the joy that comes with a renewal of love and pleasure and to face the pain that comes with realizing that some damage can never be undone.  Through a series of illuminating readings, the authors show how Shakespeare was the supreme virtuoso of the second chance and Freud was its supreme interpreter. Both Shakespeare and Freud believed that we can narrate our life stories as tales of transformation, of momentous shifts, constrained by time and place but often still possible. Ranging from The Comedy of Errors to The Winter’s Tale, and from D. W. Winnicott to Marcel Proust, the authors challenge readers to imagine how, as Phillips writes, “it is the mending that matters.”

Kybernetický útok na tři nejmocnější světová námořnictva žene dotčené státy do hrozící 3. světové války. Rafík Rošed je jeden z nejhledanějších lidí na světě, terorista s hlubokou nenávistí vůči západním zemím. Ukrývá se v Severní Koreji, kde ve službách Kim Čong-una provádí tajné kybernetické útoky. Tentokrát je však připravený provést mistrovský kousek – infikovat velicí systémy světových armád počítačovým virem, který nejen ovládne celou síť, ale je i určitou formou umělé inteligence, schopné učit se umění války. Nejprve si vezme na mušku Číňany, kteří zahájí útok na Pacifickou flotu Spojených států amerických. Don Riley, zástupce Kybernetického velitelství armád USA zjistí, že Čína ztratila kontrolu nad svou armádou, ovšem hrozí, že týž virus napadne i americkou síť. Je jen otázkou času, kdy Američané přestanou rovněž ovládat své ozbrojené síly. Rileyovou tajnou zbraní v kybernetické válce jsou tři nadmíru talentovaní kadeti z Námořní akademie Spojených států, kteří odhalí infiltraci a současně se snaží vystopovat teroristu Rošeda. Čas však nelítostně běží. O vládu nad svým námořnictvem už přišla jak Čína, tak Japonsko a totéž hrozí i Spojeným státům. Výsledkem je mezinárodní konflikt, při němž umírají lidé a jdou ke dnu americké letadlové lodi. Jedinou nadějí je zastavit útok přímo u zdroje dřív, než vyprší čas.

Don Riley z Kybernetického velitelství v Pentagonu dostane příležitost řídit nový tým operací CIA. Tvoří ho především tři nadaní námořní důstojníci a analytici, jimž se společně podaří objevit novou teroristickou skupinu zvanou Mahdí, která působí ve výbušném geopolitickém prostředí v povodí Nilu. Jenže k její strategii nepatří sebevražedné bombové atentáty ani nepředvídatelné útoky. Chystá se použít ten nejhorší druh biologické zbraně – virus Pandora se stoprocentní smrtností. Tým nemá za úkol jen odhalit osobu, která skupinu řídí, ale především musí zabránit tomu, aby nebezpeční teroristé vychýlili z rovnováhy rozložení moci na Blízkém východě a uskutečnili dlouho připravovaný útok na území Íránu.

Meet Charlie Chan. The House without a Key The novel deals with the murder of a Boston socialite in Hawai?i. The story revolves around the victim's nephew John Quincy Winterslip, a bond trader, who came to the islands to try to convince his aunt Minerva, to return to Boston but soon falls under the spell of the islands himself and is of some assistance to Detective Charlie Chan in solving the mystery. The Chinese Parrot The story concerns a valuable string of pearls which is purchased by a wealthy and eccentric financier. The son of the jeweller is assigned to shepherd the transfer of the pearls to the financier's vacation home in a desert area of California and Charlie Chan also travels from Hawaii to California with the pearls. But with two mysterious deaths, first of a Chinese-speaking parrot and then of the household's Chinese man-of-all-work, Charlie Chan has a mystery to solve. Behind That Curtain Fifteen years ago, a London solicitor was killed in circumstances in which the only clue was a pair of Chinese slippers, which he apparently donned just before his death. Sir Frederic Bruce has been following the trail of the killer ever since. Just when it seems he might finally solve the murder case, Inspector Bruce is killed—and was last seen wearing a pair of Chinese slippers, which have vanished. It is left to Chan to solve the case and tie up all loose ends.

1978, Jonestown.909 dead—two children survive.Where are they now?In the shadow of one of history''s darkest chapters, a chilling secret awaits...Two children, survivors of the Jonestown nightmare, fled through the treacherous jungles in Guyana to escape the madness. Upon their return to America, they were granted new identities, a fresh start, and the hope of a "second life."But almost forty years later, the past resurfaces in an unexpected and ominous way. In the heart of San Francisco, crime reporter Will Finch stumbles upon an abandoned Armani jacket in an inner-city playground. Little does he know that this seemingly innocuous discovery holds a cryptic message, one that threatens to shatter the lives of Will Finch and his partner Eve Noon — and make them the next victims of the Jonestown massacre.Inspired by true events, Second Life will grip you from the very first page and refuse to let go until you reach the final, heart-pounding sentence. D.F. Bailey masterfully weaves a tale of intrigue and suspense that catapults you on a mesmerizing journey from an historic catastrophe to a prophecy of mass annihilation.Second Life — where the past awakens, and the future teeters on the precipice of darkness.Author Q & A with D. F. BaileyQ: Your title, Second Life, hints at something more than a dreary 9-to-5 existence. How does it fit into your thriller series?DFB: The title is derived from an ancient quote by Confucius: “We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.” When I first read that sentence, I thought, now here''s a different way of looking at things. It really struck me with its insight. When you consider our brief life here on Earth, this sort of awareness can inspire people to take up a cause. For good—or for evil. So I drew my title from it since it suggests a noir murder mystery.Q: You’re known for your crime fiction series and psychological thrillers with a twist. How do they relate to the Jonestown disaster?DFB: Until 9-11 the Jonestown massacre marked the largest civilian slaughter in American history. It took place in South America, in a remote jungle in Guyana, but the victims were mostly Americans, followers of Jim Jones’s Temple which was once based in San Francisco. Some argue that the event wasn’t a massacre—that it was mass suicide—but over a third of the victims were children led to their deaths by their utterly deluded parents. The trite phrase, “They drank the Kool-Aid,” is their enduring legacy. It serves to warn us of the malignant power of religious cults.Q: And two of those children escaped?DFB: That’s the fictional premise. I wanted to explore what might happen to children who survived the disaster on November 18, 1978. That’s where Will Finch comes in. If you’ve read the first three books in the series you know that Finch is not a superhero. However, he’s smart, tough, determined. Bent, but not broken.Q: Other than Will Finch and Eve Noon, do any characters from the previous novels appear in Second Life?DFB: Absolutely. Fiona Page and Wally Gimbel are alive and kicking. And Gabe Finkleman, who was introduced in Lone Hunter, is now a rising force at the San Francisco eXpress.Q: I thought the first three books—Bone Maker, Stone Eater, and Lone Hunter—formed a trilogy. Does Second Life change your mystery and suspense series books into a quartet?DFB: No, the trilogy stands as a complete, three-part unit. Second Life is the first of what I hope will be a continuing thriller series that builds on the characters introduced in the trilogy. If you liked the trilogy, I think you’ll enjoy Second Life, too.

Widely hailed as a genius, Arthur Lee was a character every bit as colorful and unique as his music. In 1966, he was Prince of the Sunset Strip, busy with his pioneering racially mixed band, Love, and accelerating the evolution of California folk-rock by infusing it with jazz and orchestral influences, a process that would climax in a timeless masterpiece, the Love album Forever Changes.Shaped by a Memphis childhood and a South Los Angeles youth, Lee always craved fame. He would achieve his ambition with a mixture of vaulting talent and colossal chutzpah. Drug use and a reticence to tour were his Achilles heels, and he succumbed to a dissolute lifestyle just as superstardom was beckoning.Despite endorsements from the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, LeeÂ’s subsequent career was erratic and haunted by the shadow of Forever Changes, reaching a nadir with his imprisonment in 1996 for a firearms offence. Redemption followed, culminating in an astonishing postmillennial comeback that found him playing Forever Changes to adoring, multi-generational fans around the world. This upswing was only interrupted by his untimely death from leukemia in 2006.Written with the full consent and cooperation of ArthurÂ’s widow, Diane Lee, Forever Changes is a meticulously researched biography that includes lengthy extracts from ArthurÂ’s vivid, comic, and poignant memoirs, published here for the first time. Author John Einarson has also amassed dozens of new interviews with the surviving members of Love and with many others who fell into the incomparable LeeÂ’s flamboyant orbit. This updated edition adds a new foreword by LoveÂ’s co-founder and lead guitarist, Johnny Echols.

Courtesan Madam Zhang plots to steal the throne for her husband. But scorned scholar Wang Baoxiang is even closer to the throne. He’s maneuverered his way to the capital, where his courtly games threaten to bring the empire to its knees. For Baoxiang also desires revenge: to become the most degenerate Great Khan in history. In the process, he’d make a mockery of the warrior values his Mongol family loved more than him.To stay in the game, Zhu must gamble everything on one bold move. A risky alliance with an old enemy: Ouyang, the brilliant but unstable eunuch general. All contenders will do whatever it takes to win.

Básník Jiří Kolář (1914-2002) napsal ve třicátých letech rozsáhlejší skladbu Rudý havran, které dal podtitul román reafora. Datoval ji rokem 1936 a zaslal svému tehdejšímu básnickému idolu, Vítězslavu Nezvalovi. Skladba vstoupila do ústního podání české literární historie 20. století jako legenda, text ovšem zůstával neznámý a Kolář sám jej neměl. Na text upozornili v polovině 90. let pracovníci Literárního archivu PNP v Praze Petr Kotyk a Jan Šícha, kteří jej vystavili u příležitosti Kolářovy výstavy v Památníku národního písemnictví. Editor spisů Jiřího Koláře Vladimír Karfík pak podal o Rudém havranovi zprávu v katalogu výstavy Surrealismus v Československu 1929-1953 (1996). Kolářův raný text na rozhraní prózy, poezie a hry s významy je tak pozoruhodný již okolnostmi svého zpřístupnění. Edici Rudého havrana dále doplňuje neznámá juvenilní básnická tvorba, texty z let 1934-1938 shrnutá pod názvem Nový don Quijote. Obě díla jsou charakteristická tím, že je mladý Jiří Kolář psal oslněn dobovým surrealismem, zároveň se v nich ale již projevuje i jeho jazykové experimentátorství, kterým se surrealismu vzdaluje a svou originalitou ovlivňuje v následujícím desetiletí tvorbu celé generace, v díle výtvarném pak v celosvětovém měřítku.

Naomi Klein, author of the #1 international bestsellers, The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, returns with This Changes Everything, a must-read on how the climate crisis needs to spur transformational political changeForget everything you think you know about global warming. It''s not about carbon - it''s about capitalism. The good news is that we can seize this existential crisis to transform our failed economic system and build something radically better.In her most provocative book yet, Naomi Klein, author of the global bestsellers The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, tackles the most profound threat humanity has ever faced: the war our economic model is waging against life on earth.Klein exposes the myths that are clouding the climate debate.You have been told the market will save us, when in fact the addiction to profit and growth is digging us in deeper every day. You have been told it''s impossible to get off fossil fuels when in fact we know exactly how to do it - it just requires breaking every rule in the "free-market" playbook: reining in corporate power, rebuilding local economies and reclaiming our democracies.You have also been told that humanity is too greedy and selfish to rise to this challenge. In fact, all around the world, the fight back for the next economy is already succeeding in ways both surprising and inspiring.Climate change, Klein argues, is a civilizational wake-up call, a powerful message delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms, and droughts. Confronting it is no longer about changing the light bulbs. It''s about changing the world - before the world changes so drastically that no one is safe.Either we leap - or we sink.Once a decade, Naomi Klein writes a book that redefines its era.

A revelatory new account of the Second World War—and how bitter competition between the Allies would shape the postwar world  In June 1944, an Allied army of British, American, and Canadian troops sought to open up a Second Front in Normandy. But they were not only fighting to bring the Second World War to an end. After decades of Anglo-American struggle for dominance, they were also contending with one another—to determine who would ascend to global hegemony once Hitler’s armies fell.  Marc Milner traces this bitter rivalry as it emerged after the First World War and evolved during the fragile peace which led to the Second. American media and domestic politics dominated the Allied powers’ military strategy, overshadowing the contributions of Britain and the remarkably critical role played by Canada in establishing this Second Front.  Culminating in the decisive Normandy campaign, Milner shows how the struggle for supremacy between Churchill and Roosevelt changed the course of the Second World War—and how their rivalry shaped our understanding of the Normandy campaign, and the war itself.
