Pokání - Ian McEwan - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Je to jen svědomí, co nutí člověka stále znovu a znovu zpytovat duši, anebo existuje cosi mnohem hlubšího, kam obyčejný smrtelník nedosáhne, ale o čem jen tuší, že číhá vyrazit každým okamžikem do útoku? Ve svém doposud posledním románu Pokání dovedl Ian McEwan tuto myšlenku k dokonalosti. Třináctiletá Briony odvíjí svůj život v jistých představách, které ji mají neomylně dovést ke konkrétnímu, jasně vytyčenému cíli. Těmto snům přizpůsobuje vše, co přizpůsobit lze. Co nelze, tomu je třeba dopomoci. S fanatickou úporností pubescenta a fantazií, rozvinutou až do krajnosti, dohání protagonisty své soukromé hry na život k tragédii, za kterou by měla činit po zbytek života pokání. McEwan spřádá jednotlivé nitky osudů, jež v závěru splynou v jediný, silný a hluboce pravdivý obraz uplynulého století. Autor nabízí možnosti a klade otázky, na něž je těžké jednoznačně odpovědět. Ale ani on neposkytuje jednoznačné odpovědi, a tak je na čtenáři, aby se rozhodl, po které cestě se vydá - společně s Briony, s jejími spolupachateli, anebo s obětí? Jednoznačný není ani katarzní závěr, stejně jako není černý anebo bílý život kohokoliv z nás. Příběh pokání, jenž se na první pohled vztahuje k Briony, se náhle dotýká každého, i když se současně každý ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Cockroach - Ian McEwan

Kafka meets The Thick Of It in a bitingly funny new political satire from Ian McEwanThat morning, Jim Sams, clever but by no means profound, woke from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a gigantic creature.Jim Sams has undergone a metamorphosis. In his previous life he was ignored or loathed, but in his new incarnation he is the most powerful man in Britain – and it is his mission to carry out the will of the people. Nothing must get in his way: not the opposition, nor the dissenters within his own party. Not even the rules of parliamentary democracy.With trademark intelligence, insight and scabrous humour, Ian McEwan pays tribute to Franz Kafka’s most famous work to engage with a world turned on its head.

The British Beach Guide - Ian Brighouse

From all around the coast, from the remote wildness of Cullykhan in Aberdeenshire to the bustling working harbour at St Ives in Cornwall, from the vast empty sands of North Norfolk to Anthony Gormley’s iron men at Crosby beach on Merseyside, the author has asked individuals what the beach means to them.He noticed that people are generally happier on the beach and wanted to find out why. Thus began an engrossing venture. Collecting responses, he was surprised on two counts. Firstly, that people were very open and forthcoming; they had never met and none of the interviews were pre-arranged, yet the answers came thick and fast. Secondly, the range of answers was as diverse as the moods of the sea. He discovered that the beach inspires creativity and connections with nature and can be a place of reflection, work or activities and, above all else, the beach has an uplifting effect.These reflections and opinions are the basis of this guide which features 130 of Britain’s beaches, a cross-section of a larger journey. For each beach, there is a summary, including the author’s own impressions, and the answers from people encountered on that beach with photos. As well as being a ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Who were those people on the beach? Where and what had they come from, and how had they survived? Why, after being liberated, did so many Jews still feel unsafe in Europe?

In 1920 an Arab revolt came perilously close to inflicting a shattering defeat upon the British Empire''s forces occupying Iraq after the Great War. A huge peasant army besieged British garrisons and bombarded them with captured artillery. British columns and armoured trains were ambushed and destroyed, and gunboats were captured or sunk. Britain''s quest for oil was one of the principal reasons for its continuing occupation of Iraq. However, with around 131,000 Arabs in arms at the height of the conflict, the British were very nearly driven out. Only a massive infusion of Indian troops prevented a humiliating rout. Enemy on the Euphrates is the definitive account of the most serious armed uprising against British rule in the twentieth century. Bringing central players such as Winston Churchill, T. E. Lawrence and Gertrude Bell vividly to life, Ian Rutledge''s masterful account is a powerful reminder of how Britain''s imperial objectives sowed the seeds of Iraq''s tragic history.

Chinese on the Beach - Vanessa Fabiano

Chinese on the Beach is set in the brief, electric window when China threw open its doors and the world came rushing in. Spanning the 1990s into the early 2000s, these stories track expats, locals, and returnees as they chase opportunity, reckon with history, and try not to fall through the cracks. A power struggle in a Beijing media empire, a love triangle shadowed by the SARS pandemic, the ruthless choreography of Shanghai's social scene-each story explores the tensions of a country speeding toward the future, and the people caught in its wake.
