eBook: With a subtitle like "A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp" you would be forgiven for thinking that this book is an antidote to joy, and when on top of that, you discover that Dred is not in fact Dredd - as in Judge Dredd, futuristic cop played by Sylvester Stallone in the 1995 movie of the same name - vigor and optimism might leave your body entirely. But fear not, somebody left the Stowe on after "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and Harriet is back with a vengeance. The Great Dismal Swamp was a swamp in Virginia inhabited by thousands of escaped slaves for about 150 years in 18th and 19th century, one of whom is the titular character, Dred, an outspoken revolutionary. The story, however, is Nina Gordon's – the heiress of a failing plantation, her idealistic, liberal husband and their humane relationship with their slaves. In some circles touted as superior to "Uncle Tom's Cabin", "Dred" is a slow-burning drama full of engaging characters sprinkled with the writer's abolitionist viewpoints. A solid pick if you had preferred Uncle Tom to have been more of a Malcolm X.

eBook: The Mysterious Key and What it Opened is written by L. M. Alcott. The strange passing of Sir Richard Trevlyn sets the story in the beginning. The only thing the reader is aware of is that Richard's wife, Alice, who is expecting their first child, is listening to a discussion Richard is having with a visitor via a keyhole in the library door. She faints after being horrified by what she hears, and a servant named Hester discovers her and puts her to bed. Hester rushes to the library to inform Richard that his wife is ill despite Alice's insistence that he not be disturbed. She discovers him dead, slouched over his desk. A sixteen-year-old kid named Paul who is applying for work on the estate runs into the young child, Lillian, twelve years later. He performs his duties successfully, rising in rank and winning the love of both his family and his employees. Some of the servants are confused and sad when he goes without saying goodbye since they have a suspicion that he may be more than just the gardener or groom. When everything is revealed in the final chapters, the riddles of why Richard died, who Paul is, and how those things are connected are still unsolved.

So does your child. Children who worry too much are held captive by their fears. They go to great lengths to avoid frightening situations, and ask the same anxiety-based questions over and over again. Yet the answers give them virtually no relief. Parents and caregivers find themselves spending huge amounts of time reassuring, coaxing, accommodating, and doing whatever else they can think of to minimize their child’s distress. But it doesn’t work. The anxiety remains in control. As you have undoubtedly discovered, simply telling an anxious child to stop worrying doesn’t help at all. Nor does applying adult logic, or allowing your child to avoid feared situations, or offering reassurance every time the fears are expressed.

What can Alice in Wonderland teach us about childhood? Could reading Conversations with Friends guide us through first love? Does Esther Greenwood’s glittering success and subsequent collapse in The Bell Jar help us understand ambition? And, finally, what can we learn about death from Virginia Woolf?Literature matters. Not only does it provide escapism and entertainment, but it also holds a mirror up to our lives to show us aspects of ourselves we may not have seen or understood. From jealousy to grief, fierce love to deep hatred, our inner lives become both stranger and more familiar when we explore them through fiction. Josh Cohen, a psychoanalyst and Professor of Modern Literary Theory, delves deep into the inner lives of the most memorable and vivid characters in literature. His analysis of figures such as Jay Gatsby and Mrs Dalloway offers insights into the greatest questions about the human experience, ones that we can all learn from. He walks us through the different stages of existence, from childhood to old age, showing that literature is much more than a refuge from the banality and rigour of everyday life – through the experiences of its characters, it can show us ways to be wiser, more open and more self-aware.

eBook: O ničem se netraduje tolik nepravd a mýtů jako o sexu a nic není spoutáno tolika tabu a zatíženo takovým nepochopením. Náš „západní" svět má sklon na jedné straně degradovat sex na pouhé nezávazné potěšení, na straně druhé jej pokládat za něco hříšného. Oba tyto špatné přístupy mají pak společnou ještě jednu chybnou domněnku. A sice, že tělo a duch stojí v přímém protikladu. Východní kultury ovšem odedávna vědí, že je to právě naopak. Pravda je totiž přímo šokující. Rozhodně ale nejde o žádné nepříjemné odříkání, o vynucený celibát nebo jiné násilné, a tím pádem škodlivé postupy. Před těmi, kteří mají odvahu, vůli a chuť vykročit po cestě vzhůru, odkrývá slavná mystička tajemství přeměny lidské sexuální síly v nejvyšší sílu božskou.

A tale of identity and belonging, and of displacement, Bojer tells the story of Erik Evje, his life, and some fateful meetings. Johan Bojer (born Johan Kristoffer Hansen) was a popular Norwegian novelist and dramatist. He grew up as a foster child in a poor family living in Norway and learned of the realities of poverty early in life. Bojer principally wrote about the lives of poor farmers and fishermen, both in his native Norway and among the Norwegian immigrants in the United States. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times and is best remembered for his novel \'The Emigrants\', a major work dealing with the motivations and trials of Norwegians who emigrated to the plains of North Dakota.

eBook: Ve své poslední knize se francouzská psycholožka věnuje fascinující osobnosti rakouské císařovny Marie Terezie, výjimečné ženy v dějinách, která dokázala skloubit politickou dráhu panovnice mocného státního útvaru a roli matky, úzkostlivě pečující o výchovu svých dětí. Studium historických materiálů v archivech (díky českým šlechtičnám pohybujícím se v okolí císařovny pochází mnoho dokumentů z českých archivů) umožnilo autorce vykreslit obraz Marie Terezie jako důkladné a starostlivé matky, někdy vůči svým dětem i velmi přísné a tvrdě upřímné. Čtenáři se dozví, jaké pokyny Marie Terezie udílela vychovatelům, jak prožívala nemoci svých dětí i které ze svých potomků upřednostňovala s ohledem na zájmy monarchie. Srdce Marie Terezie patřilo jak jejím dětem, jejichž výchova se vymykala dobovým zvyklostem u panovnic a aristokratkám její úrovně, tak monarchii, které vládla. Výchova dětí s ohledem na zájmy Rakouska-Uherska přitom nemohly uniknout častým konfliktům a nevraživostem i mezi potomky, ale nejmocnější vládkyně tehdejší Evropy se je vždy snažila řešit s láskou, diplomacií a noblesou.

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ESSENTIALISM COMES A GUIDE TO MAKING THE MOST IMPORTANT TASKS EFFORTLESS The intricacy of modern life has created a false dichotomy between things that are 'hard and important,' and those that are 'easy and trivial.' Everything has become so much harder than it ought to be. But, Greg McKeown, bestselling author of Essentialism, says, there is a third alternative. In Effortless, he offers practical strategies for making the most vital tasks the easiest ones. Honed over the better part of a decade, these strategies include: * Asking 'What Step Can I Remove?' (accomplish more, in fewer steps) * Having the Courage to Be Rubbish (prioritize progress over perfection) * Deciding What 'Done' Looks Like (don't keep running after you pass the finish line) McKeown's philosophy of essentialism has helped thousands to eliminate nonessential activities and focus on the few that really matter. Working out what is essential is the first step - making these tasks effortless is the next. Effortless will show you how.

eBook: Lze se pro dobré fungování lidské společnosti poučit nebo inspirovat studiem nádorů? Jak vznikají? Proč nás tolik zajímají? Co nás učí?
