Virginia Woolfová patří k literárním ikonám dvacátého století: málokdo měl na vývoj moderní prózy větší vliv než ona. Proč tomu tak je, ukazuje výmluvně přední britská kulturní historička Alexandra Harrisová. Její nové biografii Virginie Woolfové se v anglofonních zemích dostalo nadšeného kritického přijetí i mimořádného čtenářského ohlasu, zejména díky autorčině schopnosti barvitě a srozumitelně vykreslit Woolfové život i dobu a skrze živý detail přiblížit její geniální literární dílo. Těm, kdož Woolfovou neznají, nabízí Alexandra Harrisová čtivý úvod do spisovatelčina díla, znalcům modernistické spisovatelky pak neotřelé a novátorské interpretace jejích velkých děl, založené na důkladné znalosti předmětu. Alexandra Harrisová (1981) vystudovala anglistiku na Oxfordu; v současnosti přednáší na University of Liverpool. Kritická biografie Virginie Woolfové je její druhou knihou; její literárněhistorický debut Romantic Moderns získal řadu ocenění, mj. prestižní cenu The Guardian First Book Award za rok 2010.

Jak se dcera dvou přistěhovalců v Kalifornii vypracovala na první viceprezidentku Spojených států amerických? Vlastní cestou. Kamalu Harrisovou a její mladší sestru vychovala svobodná matka, praktická odbornice na rakovinu, která jako devatenáctiletá emigrovala z Indie za lepším vzděláním. S Kamaliným otcem, špičkovým profesorem ekonomiky pocházejícím z Jamajky, se rozešla, když bylo Kamale jen pět let. Kamala zdědila po obou rodičích smysl pro sociální spravedlnost, po matce pak pracovní nasazení, cit pro detail, a především talent dokázat nemožné. Po skromných začátcích v Oaklandu a následném aktivistickém období na Howardově univerzitě z ní vyrostla nezdolná, pohotová, chápavá a precizní žena - obávaná prokurátorka vyhlášená svými jízlivými průpovídkami a politička schopná šikovně zvládat rozpolcenou kalifornskou politickou kulturu. To vše zachytil zkušený novinář Dan Morain, jenž sledoval život Kamaly Harrisové celých pětadvacet let, během nichž se zabýval situací v Kalifornii. Nyní předkládá první podrobný a čtivý popis Kamaliny nevšední profesní dráhy. Zároveň autor průběžně ukazuje, co Harrisová dělá, když se nikdo nedívá: zamilovává se v pozdním věku, stává se nevlastní matkou a stará se o málo známé členy své dlouholeté neformální politické rodiny, která vždycky věděla, že její osobitý styl ji vynese až na vrchol.

Gabrielle Harrisová vyrostla v rodině zvěrolékaře a posledních 25 let působila jako trenérka mořských savců, koní i psů v celé řadě zemí. Přestože strávila mezi zvířaty prakticky celý svůj život, její cesta k pochopení, jak se zvířaty komunikovat a navazovat s nimi vztahy, nebyla vůbec jednoduchá. V knize Dotknout se zvířecí duše shrnula své zkušenosti, dojmy a především konkrétní zážitky se zvířaty, které formovaly její přístup k trénování a výcviku. Podle Gabby musíme zvířata poznávat nejen hlavou, ale i srdcem. Nestačí je jen pozorovat, učit se a mít otevřenou mysl - musíme také přestat být zahledění sami do sebe a při komunikaci musíme zvířatům poskytnout jasnou a upřímnou zpětnou vazbu, která jim umožní ovlivnit směr, kterým se bude ubírat náš vzájemný vztah. Jen tak může být naše soužití smysluplné a oboustranně naplňující. O tom, jak toho dosáhnout, jakých chyb se vyvarovat a jak se naladit na tu správnou vlnu porozumění, se dočtete v její knize.

Bývalý diplomat a autor mnoha odborných publikací o mezinárodních vztazích a politice Robert D. Blackwill a bývalá poradkyně Hillary Clintonové pro záležitosti ekonomické zahraniční politiky Jennifer M. Harrisová ve své knize ukazují, že Spojené státy, tato nejsilnější ekonomika světa, při dosahování svých geopolitických cílů postupně začaly stále více opomíjet ekonomické nástroje a začaly se více uchylovat k užití ozbrojené síly a dalších prostředků. Dokládají, proč geoekonomika přestala být po druhé světové válce ve Spojených státech jedním z významných prvků zahraniční politiky a jaké důsledky to v situaci, kdy se na mezinárodní politické scéně vynořují nové mocnosti, jež pro dosahování cílů zahraniční politiky efektivně využívají široké spektrum ekonomických nástrojů, může v globalizovaném světě mít. Autoři ve své knize analyzují potenciál a reálné možnosti využívání ekonomických nástrojů k naplňování geopolitických cílů a přinášejí mnoho příkladů jejich úspěšného užití vládami zemí, jako jsou Čína, Indie, Rusko a další. Tato erudovaně, čtivě a srozumitelně napsaná publikace přináší cenné, do širokého sociálního kontextu zasazené poznatky z oblasti politické ekonomie, mezinárodních vztahů a geopolitiky.

Strhující osobní zpověď o děsivém utrpení. Přežila jsem varšavské ghetto, plynové komory v Majdanku, hrůzu Osvětimi i totální beznaděj Bergen-Belsenu. Ztratila jsem rodiče, bratry, sestry, jejich životní partnery a děti… Ale pro mě, i když je to nenormální, to není výjimečné. To, že jsem mohla dál milovat, mluvit, psát, jíst toasty, pít čaj a žít svůj život, je výjimečné. Příběh Elly Blumenthalové je hluboce dojemným a inspirativním svědectvím o přežití holocaustu a následném nalezení radosti v životě. Jak sama říká, to, že dokázala dál milovat, mluvit, psát, jíst toasty, pít čaj a žít svůj život, je pro ni daleko výjimečnější než samotné utrpení, které prožila v varšavském ghettu, plynových komorách Majdanku, hrůze Osvětimi a beznaději Bergen-Belsenu, kde ztratila celou svou rodinu.
