Hitchcock''s best-loved romantic thriller is one of the most influential works ever made in the genre - an enticing cocktail of suspense, comedy, eroticism and danger.Roger Thornhill is a suave but stiff-necked Madison Avenue executive, who finds himself mistaken for a US intelligence agent, and dragged into life-threatening escapades. His consolation is that he gets to romance an elegant female spy, but he soon learns that the game of international intrigue is played for high stakes. Ernest Lehman provides an introduction to this souvenir volume, published to coincide with the centenary of Hitchcock''s birth, in which he describes the course of his cherishable collaboration with the master of suspense.

Ernest Hemingway’s literary apprenticeship was served in journalism, a career that he pursued for over four decades. From his early work as a correspondent for the Toronto Star in Europe during the 1920s, through his inimitable articles for Esquire and his first-hand reports of the Spanish Civil War, to the mellow, ironic chronicle of his last African adventures, few correspondents have produced a more impressive body of work.By-Line presents a fascinating and revealing selection of Hemingway’s journalism, and charts the development of one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century.

The true story of a self-taught sleuth's quest to prove his eye-opening theory about the source of the world's most famous plays, taking readers inside the vibrant era of Elizabethan England as well as the contemporary scene of Shakespeare scholars and obsessives.What if Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare . . . but someone else wrote him first? Acclaimed author of The Map Thief, Michael Blanding presents the twinning narratives of renegade scholar Dennis McCarthy and Elizabethan courtier Sir Thomas North. Unlike those who believe someone else secretly wrote Shakespeare, McCarthy argues that Shakespeare wrote the plays, but he adapted them from source plays written by North decades before.In Shakespeare's Shadow alternates between the enigmatic life of North, the intrigues of the Tudor court, the rivalries of English Renaissance theater, and academic outsider McCarthy's attempts to air his provocative ideas in the clubby world of Shakespearean scholarship. Through it all, Blanding employs his keen journalistic eye to craft a captivating drama, upending our understanding of the beloved playwright and his "singular genius."Winner of the 2021 International Book Award in Narrative Non-Fiction

The bankruptcy of the investment bank Lehman Brothers was the pivotal event of the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession that followed. Ever since the bankruptcy, there has been heated debate about why the Federal Reserve did not rescue Lehman in the same way it rescued other financial institutions, such as Bear Stearns and AIG. The Fed''s leaders from that time, especially former Chairman Ben Bernanke, have strongly asserted that they lacked the legal authority to save Lehman because it did not have adequate collateral for the loan it needed to survive. Based on a meticulous four-year study of the Lehman case, The Fed and Lehman Brothers debunks the official narrative of the crisis. It shows that in reality, the Fed could have rescued Lehman but officials chose not to because of political pressures and because they underestimated the damage that the bankruptcy would do to the economy. The compelling story of the Lehman collapse will interest anyone who cares about what caused the financial crisis, whether the leaders of the Federal Reserve have given accurate accounts of their actions, and how the Fed can prevent future financial disasters.

The novel in verse that inspired the sensational West End and Off-Broadway play, The Lehman Trilogy is the story of a family and a company that changed the world.On a cold September morning in 1844 a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside, dreaming of a new life in the new world. Sensing opportunity in the Deep South, he opens a textile shop in Alabama, and then he and his two brothers begin investing in anything and everything that will turn a profit, from cotton to coal to railroads to oil to airplanes.163 years later, the Lehman Brothers firm spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, and triggers the largest financial crisis in history.Spanning three generations and 150 years, The Lehman Trilogy is a moving epic that tells the story of modern capitalism through the saga of the Lehman brothers and their descendants. Surprising and exciting, brilliant and inventive, Stefano Massini’s masterpiece – like Hamilton – is a story of immigration, ambition, and success. It is the story of America itself, from a daring and original perspective.

Pro mnoho lidí představuje Ernest Hemingway spíše mozaiku mýtů než člověka: vojáka, sportovce, lovce, expatriota a samozřejmě spisovatele. Ale pod těmito legendami stále uniká jeho skutečný život. Jak vypadal jako rozesmátý kluk či mladý voják? Co psal ve svých nejdůvěrnějších dopisech? Jak ho změnily jízdenky, které držel v ruce cestou z Francie do Španělska nebo napříč americkým Středozápadem, a co si na těchto cestách zapisoval, aby to z toho později vznikla povídka nebo román? Ernest Hemingway – Svědectví jednoho života zodpoví tyto i mnohé další otázky. Celý svazek, s předmluvou Hemingwayova syna Patricka a doslovem jeho vnuka Seana, připravil správce Hemingwayovy pozůstalosti, který též napsal úvod. Tato bohatě vypravená kniha, osvětlující autorův život ze všech možných stran, vypráví příběh jeho nesmírně úspěšné spisovatelské dráhy prostřednictvím předmětů, jichž se dotýkal, okamžiků, které prožil, myšlenek, jež se mu každý den honily hlavou.

Since Hemingway''s personal papers were released in 1979, scholars have examined and debated the changes made to the text before publication. Now this new special restored edition presents the original manuscript as the author prepared it to be published. Featuring a personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, Ernest''s sole surviving son, and an introduction by the editor and grandson of the author, Seán Hemingway, this new edition also includes a number of unfinished, never-before-published Paris sketches revealing experiences that Hemingway had with his son Jack and his first wife, Hadley. Also included are irreverent portraits of other luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Madox Ford, and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft. Sure to excite critics and readers alike, the restored edition of A Moveable Feast brilliantly evokes the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the unbridled creativity and enthusiasm that Hemingway himself experienced.

Since then it has never been out of print.Six decades on, writer Rebecca Gowers has created a new edition of this now-classic work that both revises and celebrates her great-grandfather''s original. Plain Words has been updated to reflect numerous changes in English usage, yet Sir Ernest''s distinctive, witty voice is undimmed. And his message remains vital: our writing should be as clear and comprehensible as possible, avoiding superfluous words and clichés - from the jargon of ''commercialese'' to the murky euphemisms of politicians.In a new preface, this edition draws on an extensive private archive, previously hidden away in family cupboards and attics, to tell the story behind a book that has become an institution: the essential guide to making yourself understood.

Ernest Hemingway created a style of writing that captivated a generation. Owing as much to music as it did to literature, it had a tonality that resonated like a drumbeat. Its hypnotic, incantatory nature was birthed under the mentoring eyes of Gertrude Stein and James Joyce during his literary apprenticeship and buffeted with the journalistic machismo of the hard-living, hard-drinking man of action he became afterwards. Despite the acres of words that have been written by and about him, Hemingway continues to elude biographers with his complexity. His first wife, Hadley Richardson, said he was more complex than geometry. Aubrey Malone captures him in all his guises here—from boxer to braggart, hunter to hero, fisherman to ‘dangerous’ friend. In the end, when he bagged his last trophy with a self-administered bullet to the head, he went against the ‘grace under pressure’ credo that had defined him for so much of his life. Ernest Hemingway: Flawed Genius investigates the man behind the myth, a writer who was a mystery even to himself.

It is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal: a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Using the simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novel confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway, Volume 5, spanning 1932 through May 1934, traces the completion and publication of Death in the Afternoon and Winner Take Nothing. During this intensely active period, Hemingway hunts in Arkansas and Wyoming, fishes the waters off Key West and Cuba, revisits Madrid and Paris, and undertakes a long-anticipated African safari. He witnesses transitions at home and abroad: the deepening Great Depression, Prohibition-era rumrunning, revolution in Cuba, and political unrest in Spain. His readership and celebrity continue to expand as he begins writing for the new men''s magazine Esquire. As the volume ends, Hemingway has just acquired his beloved boat, Pilar. The letters detail these events as well as his relationships with his family, friends, publishers, critics and literary contemporaries including editor Maxwell Perkins, Archibald MacLeish, John Dos Passos, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Together the letters paint an intimate self-portrait of this multi-faceted, self-confident, energetic artist in his prime.

The definitive edition of the classic novel of love during wartime, featuring all of the alternate endings: “Fascinating…serves as an artifact of a bygone craft, with handwritten notes and long passages crossed out, giving readers a sense of an author’s process” (The New York Times). Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield—weary, demoralized men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the profound struggle between loyalty and desertion—this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep. Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to get the words right. This edition collects all of the alternative endings together for the first time, along with early drafts of other essential passages, offering new insight into Hemingway’s craft and creative process and the evolution of one of the greatest novels of the twentieth ...

In the first study to incorporate majority Han and minority Uyghur perspectives on ethnic relations in Xinjiang following mass violence during July 2009, David Tobin analyses how official policy shapes identity and security dynamics on China''s northwest frontier. He explores how the 2009 violence unfolded and how the party-state responded to ask how official identity narratives and security policies shape practices on the ground. Combining ethnographic methodology with discourse analysis and participant-observation with in-depth interviews, Tobin examines how Han and Uyghurs interpret and reinterpret Chinese nation-building. He concludes that by treating Chinese identity as a security matter, the party-state exacerbates cycles of violence between Han and Uyghurs who increasingly understand each other as threats.

Erickson (1901–1980) byl americký psychiatr a psycholog, zakladatel nového přístupu k hypnóze (ericksonovská hypnóza) a jejího využití v terapii i v životě. Významný je jeho přístup k nevědomí, které chápe pozitivně jako kreativní a schopné samo nabídnout řešení psychického problému člověka. Jeho práce inspirovala přístupy krátké terapie, systemické terapie, na řešení zaměřené terapie a neurolingvistického programování. V Portále vyšla kniha Sidneyho Rosena o ericksonovském přístupu Můj hlas půjde s tebou (2019).Ernest L. Rossi je americký psycholog a psychoterapeut, editor sebraných spisů M. H.

Válečný román uchvacující další a další generace čtenářů. Velká válka zasáhla nejen Evropu, ale i Ameriku. Řada amerických dobrovolníků spěchala na evropská bojiště, mezi nimi i Ernest Hemingway. Své zážitky z italské fronty popsal v románu Sbohem, armádo! z roku 1929. Zachytil v něm příběh milostného vzplanutí amerického poručíka Frederika k anglické ošetřovatelce Catherine a současně rozpad dříve stabilních jistot. Více než samotný obraz války Hemingwaye zajímá osud konkrétního člověka, to, jak se mění v neznámých ohrožujících podmínkách a zda je schopen opravdové lásky. Protože za válečné vřavy se jistoty v mezilidských vztazích hledají těžko.

V knize Gödelův důkaz nabízejí Ernest Nagel a James R. Newman čtivý a speciální symboliky prostý výklad hlavních myšlenek a důsledků Gödelova objevu. Kniha byla poprvé publikována v roce 1958, a od té doby je znovu a znovu vydávána – čeština je jedenáctým jazykem, do něhož byla přeložena. Nagelova a Newmanova populární a vlivná práce nabízí vzdělanému čtenáři se zájmem o matematiku, logiku a filozofii příležitost porozumět důkazu jinak obtížnému a nepřístupnému. V posledním vydání tuto dnes již klasickou práci přehlédl a aktualizoval nositel Pulitzerovy ceny Douglas R. Hofstadter. Odstranil víceznačnosti, vyjasnil argumenty a text učinil ještě přístupnějším. Připojil úvod, kde odhaluje svůj vztah k této knížce a vliv, jaký měla na jeho odborný růst, vysvětluje podstatu Gödelova důkazu a ukazuje, jak a proč je tento důkaz dodnes důležitý. Aktuální vydání je nově rozšířeno o doslov Alexandra Meduny (FIT VUT) s názvem "Brněnský rodák Kurt Gödel a jeho odkaz". Kniha je určena studentům, vědcům, učitelům, jakož i odborníkům na matematiku, kybernetiku, logiku, filozofii a přírodní vědy.
