O utrpení Židů, postižených hrůzami holocaustu ve třicátých letech minulého století a v průběhu druhé světové války, vydává svědectví mnoho knih. David Baddiel, uznávaný britský autor, v Tajných záměrech citlivě, i když střízlivě a bez sentimentality, vypravuje příběh mladého Žida z rabínské rodiny, kterého zaujmou marxistické teorie, od nichž si slibuje nápravu nespravedlivého světa, ožení se s katoličkou, opustí židovské tradice, emigruje před nacismem z Královce do Velké Británie a po vypuknutí války je šokován internací v táboře na ostrově Man. Autor zachycuje situace nejen očima německých židovských uprchlíků, vesměs inteligence a vynikajících představitelů kultury, ale i spiklenců připravujících vraždu nacisty, a také pohledem Britů, příslušníků různých společenských vrstev, dokonce pracovníků Ministerstva informací, těch, kteří se Židy sympatizujía pomáhají, ale i takových, kteří je nemají rádi a nepřijímají je vlídně. Tento objektivní a nezkreslený přístup je pro naše čtenáře obzvláště zajímavý. Izák Fabian, hlavní postava, není předpisový hrdina. On i jeho manželka Lulu prožívají v cizím prostředí napětí, pokoření, úzkosti, zklamání, vnitřní boje, lásku, přátelství, pochybnosti i propady. K usmířenému pochopení oněch bolavých zmatků dospěje zestárlý Izák Fabianaž mnohem později, už jako britský občan, hlavně při krátkém zájezdu do Oswiecimi počátkem druhého tisíciletí. Kniha zaujme právě svou neokázalou opravdovostí, jež na nic nepohlíží růžovými brýlemi. Baddiel se představuje jako jeden z nejostřejších a nejvnímavějších současných romanopisců a navíc je přesvědčivým a dokonalým znalcem lidských duší. Kniha právem patří mezi to nejlepší, co bylo kdy o této problematice napsáno.

THE SECRET PURPOSES, David Baddiel s third novel, takes us into a little-known and still somewhat submerged area of British history: the internment of German Jewish refugees on the Isle of Man during the Second World War. Isaac Fabian, on the run with his young family from Nazism in East Prussia, comes to Britain assuming he has found asylum, but instead finds himself drowning in the morass of ignorance, half-truth, prejudice, and suspicion that makes up government attitudes to German Jews in 1940. One woman, June Murray, a translator from the Ministry of Information, stands out - and when she comes to the island on a personal mission to uncover solid evidence of Nazi atrocities, her meeting with Isaac will have far-reaching consequences for both of them. A haunting and beautifully written tale of love, displacement and survival, THE SECRET PURPOSES profoundly questions the way that truth - both personal and political - emerges from the tangle of history.

Lynch on Lynch describes the career of a cinematic genius who has continued to astonish filmgoers with the lovely and life-affirming The Straight Story and the luxurious dread of the Academy Award-nominated Mulholland Drive, in the words of Lynch himself.David Lynch erupted onto the cinema landscape with Eraserhead, establishing himself as one of the most original, imaginative, and truly personal directors at work in contemporary film. He is a surrealist, in the tradition of the great Spanish director Luis Bunuel. Over the course of a career that includes such films as The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway, and the seminal TV series Twin Peaks, Lynch has remained true to an artistic vision of innocence lost or adrift in the direst states of darkness and confusion. Nobody else sees the world quite as David Lynch does. Once seen, his films are never forgotten, nor does the world about us seem quite as it did before.In this definitive career-length interview book, Lynch speaks openly about the full breadth of his creative work, which encompasses not only movies but also a lifelong commitment to painting, a continuing exploration of photography, extensive work in television, and musical collaborations with composer Angelo Badalamenti and singer Julee Cruise.

In his lucid and bracing history, [David] Bell helps us better understand how [a] charismatic grifter came to occupy the most powerful office in the world . . . Bellâ ™s description of our predicament makes for essential reading. â ”Robert Zaretsky, Los Angeles Review of BooksAn immersive examination of why the age of democratic revolutions was also a time of hero worship and strongmenIn Men on Horseback, the Princeton University historian David A. Bell offers a dramatic new interpretation of modern politics, arguing that the history of democracy is inextricable from the history of charisma, its shadow self. Bell begins with Corsicaâ ™s Pasquale Paoli, an icon of republican virtue whose exploits were once renowned throughout the Atlantic World. Paoli would become a signal influence in both George Washingtonâ ™s America and Napoleon Bonaparteâ ™s France. In turn, Bonaparte would exalt Washington even as he fashioned an entirely different form of leadership. In the same period, Toussaint Louverture sought to make French Revolutionary ideals of freedom and equality a reality for the formerly enslaved people of what would become Haiti, only to be betrayed by Napoleon himself. Simon Bolivar witnessed the coronation of Napoleon and later sought refuge in newly independent Haiti as he fought to liberate Latin America from Spanish rule. Tracing these stories and their interconnections, Bell weaves a spellbinding tale of power and its ability to mesmerize. Ultimately, Bell tells the crucial and neglected story of how political leadership was reinvented for a revolutionary world that wanted to do without kings and queens. If leaders no longer rule by divine right, what underlies their authority? Military valor? The consent of the people? Their own Godlike qualities? Bellâ ™s subjects all struggled with this question, learning from each otherâ ™s example as they did so. They were men on horseback who sought to be men of the peopleâ ”as Bell shows, modern democracy, militarism, and the cult of the strongman all emerged together. Today, with democracyâ ™s appeal and durability under threat around the world, Bellâ ™s account of its dark twin is timely and revelatory. For all its dangers, charisma cannot be dispensed with; in the end, Bell offers a stirring injunction to reimagine it as an animating force for good in the politics of our time.

In anthropology as much as in popular imagination, kings are figures of fascination and intrigue, heroes or tyrants in ways presidents and prime ministers can never be. This collection of essays by two of the worldâ ™s most distinguished anthropologistsâ ”David Graeber and Marshall Sahlinsâ ”explores what kingship actually is, historically and anthropologically.

Hibino Sekkei is an Award-Winning Design Company This is their first monograph It involves comprehensive design from architecture to spaces, furniture, and visual identity Hibino Sekkei has worked on over 560 design projects in Japan as well as overseas; they include kindergartens and nursery schools, primary and secondary schools, and other spaces where children spend long periods of time at. They think of a space as more than a space. They value all the “contents” in the container called space as significant as the container itself. This book is a collection of selected prominent works by Hibino Sekkei Youji no Shiro and KIDS DESIGN LABO, beginning from spaces to key design elements, furniture design, and visual identity design. The book aims to share Hibino Sekkei’s design concepts in the hope that they inspire the readers in crafting their own unique designs for children’s facilities. What’s more, they have interviewed several of the principles of the kindergartens and nurseries, who would provide valuable information on children’s spaces design from an educator’s point of view.

A warm and brilliant memoir that captures the medical and emotional intensity of pediatric neurosurgery.In this moving, unflinching, and inspiring book, Dr. David Sandberg, an internationally renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, brilliantly combines his deep scientific and medical knowledge with raw emotion and unforgettably powerful stories of courage and love. The brain is the most complicated and perplexing of our organs, and it is also the one that makes us human. When it comes to a child s brain, the hearts of those who love them become inextricably linked to that story. In Brain and Heart, Dr. Sandberg describes the joy, heartbreak, uncertainty, and physical and emotional challenges that come with performing brain surgery on children. What makes this book different from previously published medical memoirs is Dr. Sandberg’s unique honesty about what goes through his mind when he makes the most complex choices with life-changing consequences. While most medical memoirs focus largely on the patient perspective, Dr. Sandberg allows readers access to his private thoughts when making agonizing decisions—from giving the worst news imaginable to facing very scary surgical complications. A father himself, Dr. Sandberg understands deeply how every one of his patients is an entire world, and his devotion to his patients and his work shines through on every page. We follow him as he finds his way to neurosurgery as a young doctor through to his most heartbreaking cases and greatest triumphs. We also travel with him to underserved countries, where lifesaving surgeries that are common here are almost nonexistent, and Dr. Sandberg shares the stories of the dedicated doctors and surgeons trying to enact change. Brain and Heart is an unforgettable book that will strengthen our sense of compassion and hope.
